In vitro evaluation and characterization of the nanoparticulate system of novel taxane derivative
Authors: Paithankar Mahesh , Bhalekar Mangesh
Published: June 2022

Cabazitaxel (CTX) is a novel taxane derivative indicated in the treatment of docetaxel-resistant metastatic prostate cancer. However, as with the case of most of the chemotherapeutic agents, CTX suffers from poor physicochemical properties such as low water solubility and dissolution. Current marketed formulation of CTX (sold under brand name ‘JEVTANA’ by Sanofi-Aventis) contains toxic surfactant, polysorbate 80 and organic solvent ethanol to improve its solubility. However, the use of polysorbate 80 as a solubility enhancer causes increased the risk of life threatening hypersensitivity reactions, generalized erythema, hypotension, and bronchospasm. Hence, to avoid the problem associated with this conventional CTX formulation, the nanoparticulate drug delivery system of CTX was developed by employing the QbD approach. Previous study included use of QbD approach to design and optimise nano particulate system of CTX. Multidisciplinary aspects of nanoscience and nanotechnology require broad range of characterization. In fact, quite often a wider characterization of NPs gives idea about its in vivo behaviour as well as its in use stability. The present work emphasizes a “Molecule Centric Approach”, wherein formed nanoparticulate system was evaluated for quantification of drug component, particle size, surface potential, solid state characterization, in vitro drug release study, compatibility study, Photostability study, thermal cycling study reconstitution stability and dilution stability study. Formulation has been characterized and evaluated concerning their performance in in-vivo and their end patient usage. Our in-vitro characterization of nanoparticle formulation provides an indirect indication of good robustness, market acceptance and regulatory acceptance.

Lahan yang sempit menjadi permasalahan bagi pertanian konvensional untuk bercocok tanam. Pengelolaan lahan sempit bisa diatasi dengan sistem hidroponik yang manfaatkan teknologi dalam bercocok tanam. Lahan sempit yang dimiliki oleh rumah tangga bisa dimaksimalkan untuk bercocok tanam. Namun, stigma rumah tangga masih terpaku pada pertanian konvensional dengan mengelola lahan yang luas. Stigma ini kemudian harus diubah dengan memberikan literasi kepada rumah tangga tentang bercocok tanam dengan menggunakan metode hidroponik. Berlandaskan kepada pemahaman tersebut maka Program Studi Manajemen Kampus II UNAND menyelenggarakan sosialisasi dan pelatihan dengan tema “Memanfaatkan Lahan Sempit untuk Meningkatkan Pendapatan Rumah Tangga, Melalui bercocok Tanam Menggunakan Sistem Hidroponik”. Tujuan utama diadakan kegiatan ini adalah untuk memberikan pengetahuan melalui pelatihan pada warga Nagari Sungai Kamuyang mengenai pemanfaatan sistem hidroponik. Tujuan lainnya adalah memberikan liretasi terkait peluang usaha yang dapat dihasilkan dari bercocok tanam menggunakan sistem hidroponik, menggali kreativitas warga dalam pemanfaatan lahan sempit, dan menghasilkan tanaman yang bersih dan sehat. Metode pengabdian menggunakan ceramah, praktek langsung, dan diskusi dengan narasumber. Kegiatan pengabdian dilakukan di kantor walinagari Sungai Kamuyang. Dalam penyelenggaraan pelatihan ini peserta dibekali dengan ilmu dasar terkait hidroponik, dan kemudian mempraktikkan secara langsung bercocok tanam dengan hyroponic wick system. Masyarakat mengharapkan kegiatan seperti ini tetap terus dilakukan dalam rangka pemberdayaan masyarakat yang lebih baik lagi.

Comandante paraíso
Authors: Álvarez Gardeazábal Gustavo
Published: June 2022

La novela Comandante Paraíso se sitúa en la década de los ochenta, donde podríamos asegurar, hay un eclipse de los proyectos ideológicos que solían enmascarar las luchas y los delitos de la confrontación política anterior, y en medio de una precaria guerra con sus caudillos militares se revela aún más el fracaso del Estado-Nación y con ello el derrumbe del incipiente pensamiento ilustrado, que más allá de las frágiles instituciones públicas que orienta no interviene en la mentalidad de las gentes, que como el Comandante Paraíso accede a una noción de país, a una visión de sociedad a través de los temerarios negocios en los que se ve envuelto y en la guerra que debe desatar para cuidar su fortuna. Esta sugestiva novela mantiene hilos de continuidad con las novelas anteriores del archivo Gardeazábal. Los personajes no tienen un origen noble, no exhiben ni se vanaglorian de un linaje, son irredentos si se quiere; impelidos por las circunstancias se ven envueltos en grandes misiones para las que no se habían preparado. Su inteligencia es el único poder que poseen y gozan de un olfato de animal para convertir la adversidad en beneficio. Su relación con la muerte disuelve cualquier vínculo institucional religioso, son más bien personajes supersticiosos que le obedecen a un mundo paralelo que habita con ellos y que está lleno de señales, de habitus, de afectos con los cuales advierten a tiempo y con destreza la traición, la acechanza y la delidad.
Mitos y secretos familiares
Authors: Sánchez Rengifo Luz Mary , Escobar Serrano María Cénide
Published: June 2022

Este libro se inserta en un campo novísimo de la investigación sobre familias en Colombia: mitos y secretos familiares. Las investigadores presentan el producto de una indagación bibliográfica exhaustiva que incluye de teorías como el psicoanálisis, la terapia familiar, la psicología, la sociología y la antropología, pasando por el análisis de obras literarias, cine y dramaturgia en las cuales se narran o se evidencian procesos de ocultamiento de “verdades” dolorosas para los implicados, hasta reflexiones críticas sobre hechos sociales pertinentes al tema. A pesar de la complejidad del tema, las autoras logran exponer en la segunda parte del libro, de manera clara, sencilla y amena los resultados de la investigación con la población estudiada, la cual estuvo constituida por un grupo de mujeres del barrio Mojica de la ciudad de Cali, un grupo de estudiantes universitarios y personas de la consulta privada de las autoras. Las investigadoras muestran los movimientos retroactivos de este proceso de investigación, el ir y venir entre la reflexión y la acción; entre lo leído, la intervención, los hallazgos y el análisis. La obra constituye un aporte valioso para la comprensión e intervención del fenómeno por parte de la comunidad académica y profesional. Al público en general le brinda elementos reflexivos para desentrañar los límites entre la verdad, la mentira y el engaño. También bosqueja una tipología de secretos que va desde los placenteros hasta los peligrosos, ofrece pistas para dilucidar el dilema acerca de si deben o no revelar todos los secretos, plantea los riesgos de los programas de televisión en los que se revelan verdades a cambio de premios. Las autoras constantemente ilustran la teoría, bien sea con casos de la literatura, del cine o de la vida cotidiana. Analizan hechos recientes de la realidad nacional e internacional vinculados con el problema de la verdad y la mentira.
Pedagogías de la Violencia en Colombia
Authors: Cuartas Restrepo Juan Manuel
Published: June 2022

Pensar la violencia como irreverencia ante la vida o como el manotazo del poder de quienes humillan con las armas, y al pensar la violencia, pasar revista al mayor numero de argumentos posibles, desde los mas absurdos, que aseguran que en Colombia la “tendencia violenta” es un ‘de por si’, una ‘incapacidad’ de ser consecuentes con el valor de la vida. Pensando la violencia se empieza en Colombia un segundo tiempo de su historia mas reciente, trayendo a cuento la desproporción que hoy en arrancarle la vida a alguien con una bala, atropellarla, birlarla, sin siquiera intentar entender que la vida está en el planeta como definición absoluta de la confluencia entre los elementos, y no como disgregación de los mismos. Pensar la violencia, finalmente, desde la anti-violencia, dando la espalda a cualquier opción drástica del desencuentro con los otros. El movimiento de ideas de las que se nombran aquí como: Pedagogías de la violencia en Colombia, intenta ser distinto, aplicándose a cubrir no simplemente los lamentos y las cicatrices profundas, sino a desencadenar la reflexión e interrogación, advirtiendo la profunda incongruencia que anuncia todo acto de asalto, retención y crimen. Así, si pensáramos insistentemente la violencia nos aproximamos, para comenzar, a la necesidad de ver a los otros como seres inscritos en lo vivo, y no como masas sin forma destinadas a recibir golpes, o como objetos ‘provechosos’ y vulnerables a los cuales coaccionar.Intentar en Colombia dejar de ser violentos, asumirlo como una decisión tomada, no permitiría soñar finalmente lo que seriamos en un completo estado de no agresión.

Toxic effects of virtako on the brown planthopper, Nilaparvata lugens (Hemiptera: Delphacidae)
Authors: Chen Yong , Qing Xiaowa , Liu Jie , Zhang Jie , Zhang Runjie
Published: June 2022

Laboratory assays (Institute of Entomology, Sun Yat-Sen University, Guangzhou, China) were conducted to assess the potential of virtako, a mixture insecticide, which contains 20% chlorantraniliprole and 20% thiamethoxam, against the brown planthopper, Nilaparvata lugens (Hemiptera: Delphacidae). The toxic effects of virtako against the nymphal instars of N. lugens indicated that all instars were sensitive to the five concentrations (16, 8, 4, 2, 1 mg/L). The first-second instars were the most susceptible, and the median lethal concentrations [LC50] were 4.76, 1.96 and 0.85 mg/L at 24, 48 and 72 h after treatment, respectively. Fifth-instars were the least susceptible with the LC50 values of 23.76, 7.25 and 3.95 mg/L at 24, 48 and 72 h after treatment, respectively, and were significantly greater than those of the first - second instars. The LC50s of the third - fourth instars were 11.59, 5.72 and 2.17 mg/L at 24, 48 and 72 h after treatment, respectively. These results indicate that virtako might be an effective alternative for the control of BPH N. lugens, by delaying the resistance levels of thiamethoxam.
Effects of insecticides used in corn on immature stages of Trichogramma atopovirilia (Hymenoptera: Trichogrammatidae)

Published: June 2022

The chemical control of Spodoptera frugiperda (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) is difficult because caterpillars live inside the corn (Zea mays) cob and they do not come into contact with insecticides. Research on the use of parasitoids of the genus Trichogramma (Hymenoptera: Trichogrammatidae) has contributed to advances in alternatives for the control of this pest. However, there is little information on the effects of pesticides used in corn on these parasitoids. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate the physiological selectivity of insecticides for Trichogramma atopovirilia in the egg-larval, pre-pupal and pupal phases. The bioassays were carried out under controlled conditions, exposing eggs of Anagasta (= Ephestia) kuehniella (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) to parasitism for a 24-h period. The insecticides were sprayed using a Potter tower on host eggs containing the parasitoids in the egg-larval period, pre-pupal and pupal phases. The insecticides evaluated in g a. i. L-1 were: imidacloprid/ß-cyfluthrin (Connect 100TM SC - 0.033), chlorfenapyr (Pirate 240TM SC - 0.6), chlorpyriphos (Astro 450TM EW - 0.75), novaluron (Rimon 100TM CE - 0.05), spinosad (Tracer 480TM SC - 0.16) and triflumuron (Certero 480TM SC - 0.048). Water was used as a control. According to the results, the products were classified in the following toxicological classes for T. atopovirilia: imidacloprid/ßcyfluthrin, novaluron and triflumuron as harmless (class 1); spinosad and chlorfenapyr as slightly harmful (class 2); and Chlorpyrifos was harmful (class 4) to the parasitoid. Therefore, new studies under greenhouse and field conditions are necessary to confirm these toxicity results.

Parasitism (proportion of parasitized nymphs) and host-feeding (proportion of consumed nymphs) of Tamarixia triozae females of different ages was evaluated on N3-N4-N5 instars of Bactericera cockerelli on tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) leaflets, together with the sex ratio and longevity of the progeny (F1 generation). Irrespective of the female age, the parasitism rate was not significantly different on N3 and N5 instars, but the oldest females (10 and 12.5 d-old) parasitized significantly more N4 than the youngest ones. Within a female age, the parasitism of T. triozae increased with the age of the nymph when they were young (3-4.5 and 6 d-old) and did not change when they were older (7.5 to 12.5 d-old). Host-feeding was independent of the parasitoid female age (maximum of 28 ± 4 for N3 and 7.5 d-old females) and was lower on older nymphal stages of the host. A significantly higher number of males were only detected in the offspring of 12.5 d-old females that parasitized N3 nymphs. Female longevity was longer, but not statistically significant differences were obtained. In host-feeding preference experiments with three nymphal stages of B. cockerelli (N3-N4-N5) and leaflets of two host plants [tomato and chili pepper (Capsicum annuum)], neither nymphal instars nor plant species had a significant effect on the parasitism rate. However, T. triozae female host-feeding was inversely related to the nymphal instar offered. In conclusion, the combination of T. triozae female parasitism and hostfeeding on B. cockerelli nymphs may significantly affect the population dynamics of this pest.

Molecular identification of Calliphoridae (Diptera: Calliphoridae) of forensic importance in Colombia
Authors: Solano Jaiber J. , Wolff Marta , Castro Lyda R.
Published: June 2022

Recognizing the importance of the correct identification of insects associated with deceased bodies for an effective estimation of time of death, and taking into account the incidence of flies of the family Calliphoridae in corpses and the difficulty of their taxonomic determination, we evaluated the usefulness of COI mitochondrial gene sequences as a molecular diagnostic tool for identifying forensically important calliphorids in Colombia. Sequences obtained from samples collected in different regions of Colombia and other sequences taken from Genbank were used. Based on the genetic distances calculated using the K2P model, nucleotide divergence and neighbour-joining analyses were performed. Bayesian analyses were also developed and a graphical representation of the variation of the COI fragments for each species. A total 545 pb fragments were obtained; the values of intraspecific distance when all sequenced were included, ranged between 0% and 2.904% and the interspecific distance ranged between 0.188% and 18.07%, with an overlapping distance, caused mostly by the inclusion of species with only one sequence. When we excluded species with a single sequence and L. eximia was analyzed as two subgroups, a distance gap of 2.292% was obtained, which is an optimal value for the validation of this technique. Reciprocal monophyly was observed in most species. We conclude that the COI gene is a good marker for delineating species of the family Calliphoridae in Colombia.

Published: June 2022

Microhabitat use by scorpions was studied in the Reserva Forestal Protectora Serranía de Coraza, department of Sucre, a tropical dry forest relict of the Colombian Caribbean. The scorpions were collected between 19:00 and 00:00 hours by searching using an ultraviolet lamp and entomological forceps, and were preserved in 70% ethanol. One hundred nine individuals belonging to four species were captured. Opisthacanthus elatus was the most frequent (n = 53), followed by Tityus tayrona (n = 28), Tityus asthenes (n = 26) and Ananteris columbiana (n = 2). Opisthacanthus elatus and Tityus asthenes were found significantly associated with low or within objects on the ground microhabitat and had a niche overlap of 91%. Tityus tayrona was collected only in low vegetation and A. columbiana was captured on fallen leaves and low vegetation. This is the first report on scorpion microhabitat use in Colombia.

Published: June 2022

Waqf is a donation activity of an own property for charity and the general welfare under sharia. The productive waqf empowerment in perspective economic changes the use of waqf from consumptive to productive. Lands are one form of waqf, and they are strategic assets for productive waqf empowerment. This research aims to build a classifier to predict waqf lands as productive or not productive assets for business prospects. The classification used Naïve Bayes with attributes summarised from administrative data of waqf lands. A new method was proposed to improving the classification accuracy using a modified Apriori algorithm. A threshold value defined based on a mean value from the classification process by the Naïve Bayes was used to select classification results with a deviation of posterior value, and the value which was below to be reclassified using the Apriori algorithm. The proposed method used can improve prediction accuracy better than using only one Naïve Bayes classifier.
Comparing Data Mining Models in Loan Default Prediction: A Framework and a Demonstration
Authors: Nguyen Cuong , Chen Liang
Published: June 2022

In the banking sector, credit risk assessment is an important process to ensure that loans could be paid on time, and that banks could maintain their credit performance effectively. Despite restless business efforts allocated to credit scoring yearly, high percentage of loan defaulting remains a major issue. With the availability of tremendous banking data and advanced analytics tools, data mining algorithms can be applied to develop a platform of credit scoring, and to resolve the loan defaulting problem. This paper puts forward a framework to compare four classification algorithms, including logistic regression, decision tree, neural network, and Xgboost, using a public dataset. Confusion matrix and Monte Carlo simulation benchmarks are used to evaluate their performance. We find that the XGboost outperforms the other three traditional models. We also offer practial recommendation and future research.
Speed Control of Separately Excited D.C. Motor using Self-Tuned Parameters of PID Controller
Authors: Mansoor Abdul-Kareem Z. , Salih Thair A. , Abdullah Fawaz S.
Published: June 2022

This paper presents a simulation and hardware implementation of a closed loop control of a separately excited D.C. motor using a self-tuning PID controller. The PID controller design is based on using the Field Programmable Analog Array (FPAA) technology. Parameters tuning of the PID controller is achieved by using the genetic algorithm (GA). The FPAA controller based technology gives the advantage of low power, no quantization noise, high bandwidth and high speed response. The practical results show that a self-tuning controller can outperform a hand-tuned solution and demonstrate adaptability to plant drift; also it gives very acceptable results in the reduction of overshoot, stability time and the steady-state transient response of the controlled plant.
Los médicos en la historiografía latina: discursos, representaciones y funciones narrativas desde los orígenes hasta Quinto Curcio Rufo
Authors:   Universidad de Salamanca (Españá), Aprile Guillermo
Published: June 2022

Roman prejudices against Greek physicians and medicine, which can be found throughout Latin literature from the second century B.C., were also manifested in Latin historiography. A study of a corpus of historical texts indicates that physicians tend to be depicted there as evil and conspiring characters. However, Curtius’ Historiae marks a radical change in this representation. To demonstrate this, the passage of Alexander’s healing after receiving a wound in India (Curt. 9.5.22-30) will be analyzed from a narratological and intertextual point of view.

Published: June 2022

Lexicon plays a key role in learning any natural language and, certainly, Latin is no exception in this matter. From a practical perspective, a proof of this statement is its presence in the official Spanish Bachillerato curriculum and its relevance regarding the Evaluación para el Acceso a la Universidad (University Entrance Exam, abbreviated in Spanish as EvAU). Considering this, the aim of this paper is twofold. On the one hand, it seeks to analyse, in terms of frequency, the vocabulary of the texts proposed for the Latin II EvAU exam in the Community of Madrid, between 2004 and 2020. On the other hand, once the most frequent words have been identified, it aims to offer several activities based on «lexical constellations» strategy with the purpose of acquiring and consolidating this vocabulary in Latin class
Algumas notas sobre And. 1: a descrição dos eventos de 415 a.C. em três denúncias
Authors:   Universidade Federal da Paraíba - UFPB (Brasil), Leite Priscilla Gontijo
Published: June 2022

The profanation of the Mysteries and the mutilation of the Herms in 415 BC were two prominent events that involved impiety (asebeia). We have knowledge of these events mostly through the accounts of Thucydides and Plutarch, and also through the speeches of Andocides (And. 1) and [Lysias] ([Lys.] 6). This paper aims to analyse how these events are narrated in And. 1 through three complaints presented by the orator: Andromachus, Lydo and Diokleides. The complaints were used to determine the participation of citizens and the focus of this paper will be on Andocides and Alcibiades. In order to do this, this paper will be divided in two parts: the first is a brief description of the events of 415 BC and the significance of both the Herms and the Eleusinian Mysteries to the Athenian democracy; the second examines the rhetorical use of these events in And. 1.

Introduction The COVID-19 pandemic situation forced governments to impose various measures to reduce the spread of the virus. The most used method is to wear facial masks, which can be found under several commercial forms. Wearing facial masks has caused a lot of controversy and rumors. Among them, many patients and practitioners have complained of a dry mouth after wearing different types of facial masks for a variable period of time. The aim of this study was to analyze the quantitative (un-/stimulated salivary flow rate) and qualitative (pH and buffer capacity) changes in saliva in mask wearers. Methodology Forty subjects were selected for this study. All of them wore alternatively no mask, a surgical mask for 2 hours, and FFP2 mask for 2 hours (groups 1, 2, and 3). Saliva samples were collected from all the subjects in the groups and analyzed to determine the values of un-/stimulated salivary flow rate, the pH, and buffer capacity using GC Saliva-Check Buffer (GC Corporation, Japan). Descriptive and analytical statistics were performed using ANOVA and Bonferroni post-hoc test. Results For unstimulated saliva samples, between groups 1 and 3, statistically significant differences were recorded, with a significance level of 0,02<p=0,05. For stimulated saliva, salivary pH or buffer samples, no significant differences were found between groups. Conclusion Wearing FFP2 masks for two hours showed a reduction in salivary flow rate compared to subjects who did not wear facial masks. Wearing surgical masks did not produce changes in salivary flow rates, pH or buffer capacity.

Introduction Failure in the fusion of medial nasal processes and maxillary prominences would result in the development of a cleft lip while failure in merging the palatal shelves would result in the development of a cleft palate (CP). At present, patients with a cleft palate (CP) have often undergone corrective surgery before 1 year of age. However, an oronasal fistula (ONF) often remains in the palate after surgery. Methodology In this historical cohort, 40 patients with CP, 6-10 years old, who had undergone corrective surgery at 1 year of age were selected by targeted sampling and assigned to two groups with ONF (N=20) and without ONF (n=20). The two groups were matched in terms of age and gender. All patients had an intraoral photograph of the maxilla and a lateral cephalogram. Twenty-three cephalometric parameters were measured prior to the orthodontic treatment and compared between the two groups using a t-test. Results CP patients with ONF had significantly higher Y-axis, gonial angle, Go1, Go2, GoGn-SN, U1-SN, and lower lip to E line compared with those without ONF (P<0.05). The Jarabak index was significantly lower in the CP patients with ONF compared with those without it (P<0.05). The difference in other cephalometric parameters was not significant between the two groups (P>0.05). Conclusion Patients with ONF had significantly greater growth in the vertical dimension compared with those without ONF. Yet, the difference in the anteroposterior dimension was not significant between the two groups.

Introduction The aim of the study was to compare different impression techniques used for fixed prosthodontics. Methodology A master cast with prepared abutments was created from polymethyl-methacrylate (PMMA). A high-resolution industrial scanner was used to create a virtual reference model. Four different impressions were made, three with polyvinyl-siloxane (PVS) (n = 10 for each): one-step putty-wash (1SPW), two-step putty-wash prepared with an escape channel (2SPW-Ch), two-step putty-wash with a polyethylene spacer foil (2SPW-Fo), and one with polyether monophasic technique (MP) from the PMMA model and digitized with an industrial scanner. The stereolithographic (STL) files of the impressions (n = 40) were exported. Each file was compared to the reference using the Geomagic Verify software. Six points were assigned to enable virtual calliper measurement of tooth diameters and distances of varying sizes within the arch. Results In the case of die diameters, the deviation from the mould ranged from 31.84 to 180.64 µm. At the stump diameter level, the MP and 1SPW techniques showed significantly more minor differences than the 2SPW-Ch, and the MP was significantly more accurate than the 2SPW-Fo. At medium distance, the deviation ranged from 42.74 to 136.47 µm. Therefore, MP was found to be significantly more accurate than 2SPW-Ch. When examining the long distance, the difference was between 162.62 and 348.85 µm. The MP and 1SPW impression techniques proved significantly more accurate than the 2SPW-Ch technique for long distances. Conclusions With both simultaneous techniques, significantly more true results were achieved than with the two-step techniques.
Kierkegaard e Wittgenstein:
Authors: Rocha Gabriel Kafure da , Pereira Claudinei Reis
Published: June 2022

O presente artigo pretende analisar o caminho entre linguagem e fé nas obras Migalhas Filosóficas e Postscriptum de Kierkegaard, além da possibilidade de uma ligação entre a visão religiosa de Wittgenstein em Tratactus Logico-Philosophicos e Investigações Filosóficas. A metodologia utilizada será uma análise comparativa narrativa do pensamento do autor de Migalhas Postscriptum e sua “relação” com o TLF (Tratactus Lógico- Philosophicos) e IF (Investigações Filosóficas), tendo como base as obras primárias do texto. Ademais, o artigo apresenta uma introdução geral e descritiva do problema central, ou seja, a relação entre o silêncio e o paradoxo na visão comparativa entre Kierkegaard e Wittgenstein. No segundo momento, busca-se ampliar a temática central a partir do desenvolvimento de problematização a respeito do silêncio e do paradoxo, de maneira mais minuciosa, evidenciando a dimensão metafísica da fé enquanto dimensão da linguagem, tanto em Kierkegaard quanto em Wittgenstein. Além disso, busca-se a descrição da linguagem como experiência indizível, isto é, “sobre o que não se pode falar deve-se calar”. Por fim, como fundamentação secundária, e tomando como base outras pesquisas já realizadas nessa aproximação, buscamos encontrar evidências em outros escritos e leituras de ambos os filósofos como apoio para a problematicidade do tema.
Uso político do discurso de ódio às pessoas LGBTQIA+ como estratégia de manipulação das massas

Published: June 2022

Neste trabalho objetivamos, por meio da Análise Crítica do Discurso (FAIRCLOUGH, 2003; RESENDE; RAMALHO, 2006), operacionalizar a crítica explanatória (BARROS, 2015) acerca de discursos de cunho homofóbico, proferidos por agentes políticos em três lugares, geograficamente situados na Polônia, no Brasil e em Mato Grosso, numa espécie de gradação. Em comum, os atores sociais têm o uso do discurso de ódio (GLUCKSMANN, 2007) às pessoas LGBTQIA+ como mote e elemento agregador de apoiadores. Os enunciados foram obtidos por meio de reportagens publicadas por veículos de mídia. Procuramos desvendar os modos de operação da ideologia (THOMPSON, 2011) empregados, a fim de compreender os mecanismos envolvidos na manutenção de tais discursos e sua disseminação em meio às sociedades alvo. À luz de autores da chamada Teoria Queer (MISKOLCI, 2012; COLLING, 2018; BELTRÃO; BARROS, 2019; OLIVEIRA et al., 2020), trazemos à baila a necessidade de resistir ao fomento desse tipo de ódio por entes políticos, no sentido de contribuir para um mundo melhor, em que todas as pessoas possam viver, tendo seus direitos como seres humanos respeitados.
