Desvíos y confluencias entre el teatro y la performance durante la transición española
Authors: Tejo Carlos
Published: July 2024

Este artigo propõe um estudo comparativo entre o teatro e a performance que foi realizado durante a transição espanhola à democracia. Nesse sentido, faremos uma análise das principais ferramentas metodológicas e discursivas utilizadas por ambas as manifestações artísticas, identificando as analogias e diferenças mais marcantes entre as duas práticas. Em nossa conclusão, argumentamos que os caminhos entre o teatro e a performance na Espanha durante a transição geraram cartografias significativamente diferentes. Ambas as disciplinas foram estruturadas e difundidas de acordo com modos particulares de atuação que, quando comparados, revelam grandes diferenças. No entanto, a chegada das novas correntes cênicas - especialmente a partir do início do novo século - criou um terreno mais propenso à contaminação, o que nos deixou uma paisagem difusa onde as fronteiras entre a arte cênica e a performance se tornaram cada vez menos claras.
Activismo en la Fundación de Orquestas Juveniles e Infantiles de Chile
Authors: Riesco Almendra , Alvarado Rolando Ángel , Baker Geoff
Published: July 2024

Supuestamente, las orquestas infanto-juveniles tienden a comprometerse con la justicia social, pero ha surgido evidencia que acusa que aquello responde más a la construcción de un mito. El presente estudio propone como objetivo explorar las visiones institucionales que exponen los directores titulares de las orquestas propias de la Fundación de Orquestas Juveniles e Infantiles de Chile (FOJI, de aquí en adelante), ya que no hay consenso en el debate público respecto a la posición activista que toma. Se utiliza el método comparativo constante, pues una entrevista semiestructurada ha servido para recoger relatos de cuatro directores titulares de orquestas propias de la FOJI. Los resultados desvelan que esta Fundación persigue la formación musical de excelencia. En conclusión, queda en entredicho la visión de justicia social, ya que el foco centrado en la formación de talentos representa un obstáculo para el acceso universal a la práctica orquestal.
Primer reporte Kretzschmaria zonata (Lév.) P.M.D. Martin causando pudrición de la raíz en Tectona grandis L. en Costa Rica
Authors: Rodríguez Solís María , Méndez Álvarez Dawa , Berrocal Jiménez Alexander
Published: July 2024

Se encontraron árboles enfermos en plantaciones de Tectona grandis en la provincia de Guanacaste, Costa Rica, que mostraban síntomas de pudrición del cuello y la raíz. A nivel morfológico y molecular, se identificó la especie Kretzschmaria zonata como el agente causal de la enfermedad.  El micelio del patógeno creció de forma circuncéntrica en un medio PDA, con coloración gris en el centro y blanca en los bordes. Se registraron ascosporas de color café oscuro, cuyo tamaño era (21.6-) 27.4 – 32.1 (-33.5) x (6.2-) 8.7 – 10.9 (-11.8) µm. Las plantas inoculadas con el patógeno presentaron lesiones, con diferencias altamente significativas respecto a las plantas testigo. Se realizaron reaislamientos y se recuperó el hongo K. zonata, cumpliendo con los postulados de Koch. Es la primera vez que se reporta este patógeno causando enfermedad en plantaciones forestales de teca en Costa Rica, lo que constituye un avance para el estudio de estrategias de manejo de la enfermedad.

The Eastern Ghat of India: A review on plant ecological perspectives
Authors: Behera Snigdha , Pattanayak Sanjaya Kumar , Bhadra Abanikanta
Published: July 2024

The Eastern Ghats, a discontinuous range of mountains spanning Odisha, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Tamil Nadu, and Karnataka has a humid tropical monsoon climate with moderate to high temperatures and heavy rainfall. The Eastern Ghats offer a diverse range of flora and fauna, including endemics. The vegetation is classified into various forest types, including moist deciduous, dry deciduous, dry evergreen, evergreen, semi-evergreen, scrub jungles, and savannah. Eastern Ghat reflects the healthy carrying capacity of the ecosystem. The Eastern Ghats boasts a diverse plant community, with over 3200 flowering plant species, largely due to geographic factors, high seasonality, and elevational variations. The Eastern Ghats, a significant biodiversity granary in India, has been the subject of numerous taxonomic and quantitative surveys. The eastern coast of India's eastern forest (Eastern Ghats) is facing a decline in plant diversity due to overexploitation, habitat destruction, and rampant grazing. This has led to species loss and extinction. The forest cover has also decreased due to anthropogenic pressures. However, there is a lack of significant research on plant species population dynamics, soil surveys, soil chemistry, geomorphology, geobotany, pedology, edaphology, and phytochemistry. To address this, modern science and technology approaches, such as geomorphometry and geobotanical studies using Remote Sensing and GIS techniques, are the need of the hour.
How to sustain a centralised approach to learning design
Authors: Bearman Margaret , Mahoney Paige , Chandir Harsha , Contessotto Christine , Dunn Matthew , Fox Brandi , McKay Fiona , Taylor Darci
Published: July 2024

Innovative changes to online teaching practices are becoming increasingly important with the rise of e-learning across the higher education sector. Such innovations ideally become part of teaching repertoires rather than reverting to prior approaches. This study investigated the sustainability of a centralised approach to online learning design. Of the 74 survey respondents, more than 70% described changes to their teaching or work practices, uptake of learning design tools or development of student-facing materials, and these changes were mostly reported as sustained. Changes to system-level supports were less common and less likely to be sustained. Free-text comments highlight the importance of adaptation, collaboration and iteratively developed learning design templates. These provide guidance on how to promote sustained changes to online teaching practice.
 
Implications for practice or policy:

Outcomes for sustained changes to online teaching practice can be improved through innovations that are adaptable and collaborative and build educator capability.
Learning design templates and resources can guide educators to develop their online teaching practice while allowing flexible and iterative implementation.
Sustained changes to online teaching practices may be impeded by aging student-facing materials, withdrawal of support and unfeasible workloads.
A novel design of a Wilkinson power divider based on the circular-shape resonator
Authors: El Bouslemti Rahmouna , Farah Chemseddine M.
Published: July 2024

This paper describes the general properties of power dividers, in particular matching and isolation. This original works relates to three different divider structures based on the circular-shaped resonator. These prototypes resemble the Wilkinson power divider due to their geometric configuration. These power dividers provide very good isolation between their output ports of −51.26 dB. In fact, the originality of these new structures stems from the idea of minimizing the size of this classic power divider. The required design parameters for the three proposed dividers came from a simulation study using the Ansoft HFSS tool in addition to a design theory. The experimental prototypes are well presented and operate at 2.4 GHz. They demonstrate excellent performance in adaptation, which refers to impedance matching, ensuring consistent impedance at the component terminations. Additionally, they exhibit low insertion losses and high isolation at 2.4 GHz. The measurement results agree well with those of the simulation. The benefits demonstrated by this study are significant, justifying the preference for these components.
Bidirectional triple-band truly incident angle insensitive polarization converter using graphene-based transmissive metasurface for terahertz frequency
Authors: Mistri Hiranmay , Ghosh Anumoy , Dandapathak Manaj
Published: July 2024

The design and response of a triple-band linear-to-circular polarization converter (LTCPC) in the terahertz frequency regime using a graphene-based transmission-type metasurface have been studied numerically and analytically. The unit cell of the converter is constructed using lossy silicon dioxide (SiO2) with a relative permittivity of 3.9 as the substrate. And two similar layers of graphene-based sub-wavelength structures are used at the top and bottom of it. Multiband linear to circular polarization conversion is achieved from 0.74 THz to 0.98 THz, 1.70 THz to 2.33 THz, and 4.06 THz to 5.19 THz, i.e., about 28 %, 31 %, and 24 % fractional bandwidths, respectively. As the same metasurface configuration is used at the top and bottom layers of the transmission-type unit cell, it can be used as a bidirectional polarization converter with identical responses from both sides. The geometrical optimization of the unit cell is done, and an equivalent lumped parameter circuit model is also proposed for the same, considering analogous responses. Tunability over the operating frequency is achieved by varying the chemical potential and relaxation time of graphene. Moreover, due to the ultrathin width and special types of identical configuration of the metasurfaces, the response of the system remains excellent over a wide range of incident angle variations up to 80° angle of incidence.
The names of the Dusky Striped Squirrel (Funambulus obscurus, Sciuridae) and Kathleen Ryley in the Bombay Natural History Society’s Mammal Survey
Authors: Dissanayake Rajith , Zijlstra Jelle S. , Darwich Martina
Published: July 2024

We review the history of the Sri Lankan squirrel Funambulus obscurus in the context of the Bombay Natural History Society’s Mammal Survey of South Asia. Kathleen Ryley (1883–1935), who helped to compile the results of the Survey, was among the earliest women to name a species of mammal. She was the first to recognise the Sri Lankan species as distinct from its closest relative in southern India. This decision has been confirmed by recent research, but her chosen name for the species is no longer considered valid. We record the rediscovery of the holotype specimen of F. obscurus in Vienna, confirming its identity. We suggest the common name “Dusky Striped Squirrel” for the Sri Lankan F. obscurus and “Pygmy Striped Squirrel” for the Indian Funambulus sublineatus.

Comparing the in-plane shear moduli of cardboard measured by flexural vibration, torsional vibration, static torsion, off-axis vibration, and off-axis tension tests
Authors: Yoshihara Hiroshi , Yoshinobu Masahiro , Maruta Makoto
Published: July 2024

Flexural vibration (FV), torsional vibration (TV), static torsion (ST), longitudinal vibration (OAV), and tension (OAT) of 45° off-axis tests of flat pieces of cardboards were analyzed to determine the in-plane shear modulus (IPSM) using samples of various widths. The analyses were performed with simulations using the finite element method (FEM) for models with and without lamination and physical experiments using cardboard samples. For the FV, TV, and ST tests, the IPSM was calculated using binary search (BS) and linear regression (LR). The FEM results suggest that the IPSM values obtained from the TV and ST test simulations were affected by lamination. In contrast, the effect of lamination was not clear in the FV, OAV, and OAT test simulations. The coefficient of variation obtained from the FV experiments was often larger than that obtained from other tests. Despite this variation, the FV test is more attractive than the other tests because the experiments could be performed easily, and the effect of lamination could be reduced.
Preparation and mechanical properties of the 2.5D carbon glass hybrid woven composite materials
Authors: Zhang Lijun , Che Zhe , Zhu Yu , Hou Peiyu , Liu Zilong , Wang Yidong , Wang Junpeng , Zhang Tao , Hong Yiqiang
Published: July 2024

The 2.5D carbon glass hybrid woven composite (CGHWC) is currently being utilized as a protective material for the external cables of solid rockets due to its extensive advantages in terms of structural load-bearing and integrated thermal insulation. This study reveals that 2.5D hybrid woven composites, prepared using T300 and T800, exhibit improved compression and tensile properties, respectively. T300 and T800 carbon fibers are preferred for the preparation of 2.5D CGHWC, with a volume fraction of carbon fibers along the weft yarn ranging from 20 to 60%. As the proportion of carbon fibers increases, the weft tensile and compressive strength of the composite material progressively improve, resulting in a maximum increase of 67% in tensile strength and 52% in compressive strength. The optimal volume fraction of carbon fibers was found to be 40%. The performance retention of low-cost hybrid composite materials was investigated, and it was found that even when the cost of carbon fibers decreased by 87.5%, the mechanical properties could still be maintained at above 85%. This article has expanded the mechanical performance database of hybrid composite materials, providing data support and theoretical foundation for the large-scale engineering application of composite materials.
Téged befolyásol mások utazási élménye? – A belföldi turisták hordaszerű magatartásának vizsgálata
Authors: Török Réka Szabina , Bundság Éva Szabina
Published: July 2024

A TANULMÁNY CÉLJA
A társadalmi befolyásolás erőteljesen tapasztalható a közösségi média felületek és értékelő platformok megjelenése óta, amelyek egyben gyökeresen megváltoztatták az utazók viselkedését is. A turisták kényelmesen és gyorsan tájékozódhatnak mások véleményéről és tapasztalatairól utazásuk tervezése során. Ezért a tanulmány célja összekapcsolni a szállásválasztással kapcsolatos döntési mechanizmust a hordamagatartás jelenségével, hogy pontosabb képet mutasson a turisták vásárlói magatartásáról. Arra a kérdésre keressük a választ, hogy miként jelenik meg ahordamagatartás az online információkeresés és a végső döntéshozatal során a belföldi utazók körében.
ALKALMAZOTT MÓDSZERTAN
Önkényes mintavétel mellett, a hordamagatartás elméleti háttere alapján megalkotott, online kérdőíves megkérdezés szolgálta a tanulmány kutatási módszerét, amely a közösségi oldalak releváns csoportjaiban került lebonyolításra. A megkérdezés keretében egy kísérletet is folytattunk, mely során a vélemények megismerése előtti és azt követő szállásvállasztást vizsgáltuk.
LEGFONTOSABB EREDMÉNYEK
A kérdőíves megkérdezés és a lebonyolított kísérlet alapján is igazolódott a vélemények hordamagatartásbéli szerepe, valamint kiderült, hogymitől válik hitelessé egy vásárlói írás. A részletes tapasztalatmegosztás a kutatás több pontján köszönt vissza alapvető szempontként. Továbbá míg a kommentelő személyes tulajdonságai kevéssé vannak hatással a hitelességre, addig a Részletesség, a Csillagok száma, valamint a Vélemények száma közepes befolyással bír. Kísérleti úton igazolódott a hordaszellem is, ahogy a vélemények hatására teljesen megváltoztatták az egyénekpreferenciáikat. A tanulmány interdiszciplináris alapokra helyezi a fókuszt, ugyanis a turizmusmarketinget a viselkedésgazdaságtanihordamagatartás jelenségével igyekszik magyarázni, ami nemzetközi szinten is egy kevéssé kutatott téma, hazai viszonylatban pedig kifejezetten rendhagyó.
GYAKORLATI JAVASLATOK
A szállások számára fontos, hogy egy felhasználóbarát értékelő platformot alakítsanak ki, amely megfelelő teret biztosít a korábbi vásárlók teljeskörű, részletgazdag tapasztalatainak és élményeinek megjelentetéséhez. Az értékelési hajlandóság növelése szempontjából célszerűbevezetni egy sajátos kampányt vagy akciót, amely jó motivációként szolgálhat a fogyasztói vélemények megosztására, továbbá kiemelten fontos, hogy azokat a hitelesség megteremtése érdekében nyomon kövesse és kezelje az adott szervezet.

Published: July 2024

RESUMO: A tradução técnica, enquanto ator primordial nas sociedades altamente especializadas, faz recurso constante da ciência terminológica, especialmente através de processos neológicos e terminocriativos. No entanto, a neologia e a terminologia têm-se mantido enraizados no her-metismo académico, que poucas orientações providencia àqueles que mais delas precisam, nomeadamente os tradutores, os técnicos e engenheiros, e todos aqueles que quotidianamente necessitam de criar termos novos oriundos dos avanços conceptuais produzidos pela inova-ção tecnológica e industrial. Assim, este artigo apresentará não só noções fundamentais acer-ca de terminologia, mas falará também da prática terminológica, do trabalho do terminólogo, e respetivos procedimentos metodológicos. Abordados serão ainda a extração e pesquisa terminológica, o controlo de qualidade dos resultados e as estratégias relativas aos procedi-mentos neológicos e terminocriativos. O artigo procurará apontar alguns caminhos e formu-lar questões pertinentes que procurem dar resposta às necessidades contemporâneas da socie-dade da informação.PALAVRAS-CHAVE: neologia, termocriatividade e tradução técnica.ABSTRACT: Technical translation, while a primary actor in highly specialized societies, constantly makes resource of terminological science, especially through neological and terminological creativi-ty processes. However, neology and terminology have remained rooted in hermetic acade-mism that few guidelines provides to those who need them most: Translators, technical per-sonnel and engineers, and all of those who need to creating new terms on a daily basis, terms which are a consequence from the conceptual advances produced by technological and indus-trial innovation. Thus, this article will present not only fundamental concepts about terminol-ogy, as it will also speak of terminological practice, and of the terminologist work, and rele-vant terminology methodological procedures. It will also be addressed terminological extrac-tion and research, quality control of the results and strategies relating to neological and ter-minological creativity procedures. The article will point out a few pathways and formulate relevant questions that seek to respond to contemporary needs of the information society.KEYWORDS:: neology; creativity, terminology; technical translation

À luz dos pressupostos teórico-metodológicos da Análise de Discurso materialista e de contribuições da historiografia acerca da noção de fascismo, o presente artigo tem como objetivo principal analisar o discurso de posse do trigésimo oitavo presidente brasileiro. Para tanto, expõe-se o trajeto de pesquisa, atualmente em andamento, que levou à sistematização do objeto em tela, a saber, o discurso presidencial oficial. O corpus desta pesquisa se constitui a partir de materialidades significantes que têm como característica que as une o discurso oficial do trigésimo oitavo presidente brasileiro. Interessa analisar efeito de sentidos que se produzem nas falas oficiais proferidas pela posição-sujeito-presidente, tendo vista as seguintes questões movedoras: os discursos do trigésimo oitavo presidente atualizam saberes e funcionamentos de discursos fascistas? Em que conjunturas enunciativas fala o sujeito-presidente? Para quem fala? Quando fala? O que, pelo discurso, faz saber suas falas? Que redes de memória são atualizadas? Assim, a materialidade que analiso neste artigo é um vídeo intitulado Posse do presidente Jair Bolsonaro. Nele registra-se a cerimônia de posse do trigésimo oitavo presidente do Brasil, ocorrida em Brasília, em 01 de janeiro de 2019. O vídeo foi publicado em 17 de janeiro de 2019, disponibilizado no canal oficial do Governo Federal Tv BrasilGov na plataforma youtube.com. Com esta análise, é possível começar a entrever marcas que podem ser interpretadas como indícios de discursos fascistas.
OS SILÊNCIOS DE UMA ÚLTIMA CARTA: ANÁLISE DOS ÚLTIMOS ESCRITOS DE GETÚLIO VARGAS
Authors: Pasini Monica de Oliveira
Published: July 2024

Este estudo se propõe a compreender o funcionamento discursivo do silêncio da última carta de Getúlio Vargas, classificada pelos arquivos e estabilizada na memória coletiva, por “carta-testamento”. Traz o suporte teórico da análise de discurso, fundamentada, principalmente, por Michel Pêcheux e Eni Orlandi. No corpus, das versões manuscrita e datilografada, extraíram-se quatro recortes, nos quais foram analisadas as imprecisões, falhas, não-ditos, não-nomeados, rasuras, pressupondo a incompletude da linguagem. Nos resultados, observa-se o funcionamento discursivo de um silêncio fundante, como um continuum que produz sentido, indicando vestígios de uma incipiente ideologia neoliberal, que começava a se manifestar no Brasil dos anos 1950.
Um olhar discursivo para a forma histórica dos protestos: retorno aos protestos pós-junho de 2013
Authors: Lopes Tiago Alves da Silva , Vinhas Luciana Iost
Published: July 2024

O Brasil do século XXI é sócio-historicamente constituído por diferentes embates no campo político-ideológico, começando com a eleição de Lula, em 2002, e, atualmente, com o governo de Bolsonaro. A partir de 2013, durante o primeiro governo de Dilma Rousseff, é possível afirmar que os protestos se intensificaram no país, aparecendo como ponto simbólico que inaugura a disputa nas ruas na última década. O presente artigo trabalha sobre os protestos como uma forma histórica, designada como forma-protesto, embasando-se nas jornadas de junho de 2013 para delimitar a teorização. A visada teórico-analítica a partir da qual o trabalho é desenvolvido é a Análise Materialista de Discurso, que, com sua sustentação no materialismo histórico-dialético, garante os elementos necessários para a observação da forma-protesto, considerando, especialmente, as modalidades de subjetivação proposta em Pêcheux (2014). Desde a circulação do enunciado “O gigante acordou” é possível afirmar que os manifestantes representam a posição da burguesia liberal, como bom sujeito, não rompendo com a formação social capitalista, ao passo que as manifestações posteriores, a partir das que pediam pelo impeachment da presidenta Dilma Rousseff passaram a se identificar com uma posição que sustenta o fim das instituições democráticas, em um funcionamento fascista. A reivindicação pelo fim do capitalismo ainda não tem força nos protestos do Brasil contemporâneo, resultando em posições contraditórias entre direita e esquerda.
Preservação e patrimonialização do acervo do Comitê de Defesa dos Direitos Humanos CLAMOR – 1978-1990
Authors: Cruz Heloisa de Faria
Published: July 2024

O Comitê pelos Direitos Humanos no Cone Sul (CLAMOR) atuou em São Paulo, entre os anos de 1978 e 1991, e é reconhecido como uma das mais importantes entidades de solidariedade com refugiados, presos e perseguidos políticos das ditaduras do Cone Sul, bem como de informação e denúncia sobre os crimes contra os direitos humanos cometidos por essas ditaduras. O acervo do CLAMOR, nominado pelo Programa da UNESCO como Memória do Mundo, é um registro importante não só da preservação da memória dos atos de solidariedade e resistência às ditaduras, mas também um espaço de constituição de provas e evidências para a busca de reparação e outras medidas de justiça transicional. O presente artigo expõe perspectivas, reflexões e atividades encaminhadas pelo Centro de Documentação (CEDIC) da PUC-SP no tratamento, na preservação e na patrimonialização do Fundo CLAMOR, que se encontra sob a sua guarda.
Imagens de violência no campo da criação: Body Art e contemporaneidade
Authors: De Farias Francisco Ramos
Published: July 2024

Aborda-se determinados tipos de modificações corporais em suas expressões de rituais, marcadores de identidade, signos de pertencimento, memórias de acontecimentos e postura decisiva do sujeito em transformar o corpo, a partir de um projeto no qual prevaleçam sua vontade e seu desejo. Para tanto, são apresentados indicadores históricos em termos de comparação para sinalizar que cada estilo artístico é produção de uma época, sendo a Body Art a incidência do acoplamento Arte e Tecnologia com fins de transformação corpórea. Nessa arte indaga-se: o que mobiliza um artista a dispor de seu corpo para múltiplas transformações, no sentido de produzir um espetáculo que faz irromper, no expectador, angústia e horror? As produções artísticas desse campo nos introduz no mistério que faz o artista transformar-se em seu próprio carrasco, num oferecimento do corpo como objeto que desconhece limites, numa busca de satisfação.
Nacionalismo mestiço: Patrimônio e cultura material no Estado Novo brasileiro

O presente capítulo buscará, em primeiro lugar, delimitar o surgimento das discussões sobre mestiçagem dentro do contexto do movimento modernista brasileiro, em especial no discurso de Mario de Andrade sobre Aleijadinho e o barroco mineiro. A seguir, procurará perceber as relações existentes entre Arqueologia, modernismo e o desenvolvimento do conceito de patrimônio no contexto do Estado Novo brasileiro. Destacar-se-á o aprofundamento do conceito de cultura e patrimônio nacional e a importância do barroco também na consolidação dessas idéias. Por fim, discutirá a importância da mestiçagem, quer artística, quer racial para a construção de um discurso de cultura e patrimônio nacional no período.  Relacionará a reconstrução do passado às demandas do presente e a importância das questões patrimoniais para a arqueologia.

Published: July 2024

Este texto busca uma reflexão sobre os acervos fotográficos, que em sua maioria permanecem sob a guarda das famílias descendentes dos fotógrafos que fundaram os estúdios fotográficos na região Sul do Brasil. De forma resumida, será apresentada a biografia dos fotógrafos, a história dos estúdios e os acervos. Para este estudo, foram selecionados três acervos: estúdio Beck, que teve sua atuação em Ijuí – RS; o estúdio Foto Kaefer, localizado em Marechal Cândido Rondon - PR, e o estúdio Foto Klos, com atuação em Panambi.  Não será feita uma análise comparativa, serão apresentados os seus acervos e lançadas reflexões sobre as condições de conservação e o destino desses, buscando analisar se as instituições estão preparadas para a recepção desses bens culturais.
GIS, satellite image and risks in urban and Peri-urban areas; methodological aspects
Authors: Abdellaoui Abdelkader
Published: July 2024

Evoking the risk, even in urban areas, brings us back almost mechanically to the risks of flooding, or even silting up in certain regions. However, there are many other risks in cities that are still little or no explored using GIS solutions. We will mention in particular the problems encountered in the outskirts of cities and so-called sensitive areas, but also those due to the very configuration of certain neighborhoods (concentration of buildings, absence of support infrastructure) which generate risk situations. , or rather danger. Of course, we cannot overlook the problem of old neighborhoods that are abandoned in certain regions, but where populations still live and are exposed to multiple dangers following the continuous dilapidation of buildings. Finally, it is useful, even necessary, to also mention the perception of risk, which is sometimes extremely vague, in the minds of populations who end up generating their own risk themselves. In this article, we briefly examine the notion of risk, its perception in the collective mind and its consequences in everyday life. We then present, on a practical example, the contribution of GIS solutions and satellite imagery to the analysis and forecasting of risk in urban areas. The examples are taken from Algerian towns in the pre-Saharan zone. We will take the city of Laghouat as an example and we will develop the aspect of risk generation by the individual and society as a whole; we will also see how the local authority contributes to this situation of generation of risk or danger and, above all, how it can remedy it.

Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a group of complex genetic disorders of hemoglobin with multisystem manifestations. The scope of this clinical report is such that in-depth recommendations for management of all complications is not possible. Rather, the authors present an overview focused on the practical management of children and adolescents with SCD and the complications that are of particular relevance to pediatric primary care providers. References with detailed commentary provide further information. Timely and appropriate treatment of acute illness is critical, because life-threatening complications may develop rapidly. Specialized comprehensive medical care decreases morbidity and mortality during childhood. The provision of comprehensive care is a time-intensive endeavor that includes ongoing patient and family education, periodic comprehensive evaluations and other disease-specific health maintenance services, nursing support, psychosocial care, and genetic counseling. Ideally, this care includes comanagement by the pediatrician or other pediatric primary care provider and a team of specialist SCD experts: Hematologist, other pediatric specialists, advanced practice providers, nurse specialists, social workers, patient navigators, and educational liaisons.
Association of antibiotic resistance and biofilm formation in Escherichia coli ST131/O25b

Urinary tract infections are becoming difficult to treat every year due to antibiotic resistance. Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) isolates pose a threat with a combined expression of multidrug-resistance and biofilm formation. ST131 clone is a high-risk pandemic clone due to its strong association with antimicrobial resistance, which has been reported frequently in recent years. This study aims to define risk factors, clinical outcomes, and bacterial genetics associated with ST131/O25b UPEC. In this study, antibiotic susceptibility and species-level identification of 61 clinical E. coli strains were determined by automated systems. Detection of extended-spectrum beta-lactamases was assessed by double-disk synergy test. Biofilm formation was quantified by spectrophotometric method. Virulence genes (iutA, sfa cnf-1, iroN, afa, papA, fimA), antibiotic resistance genes (blaCTX-M, blaTEM, blaSHV, blaOXA, qnrA, qnrB, qnrS, ant(2′)-Ia, ant(3)-Ia, aac(3)-IIa, mcr-1, mcr-2, mcr-3, mcr-4) were investigated by PCR. The following beta-lactamase genes were identified, blaTEM (n = 53, 86.8%), blaCTX-M (n = 59, 96.7%), blaSHV (n = 47, 77.0%), and blaOXA-1 (n = 27, 44.2%). Our data revealed that 93.4% of (57/61) E. coli isolates were biofilm-producers. O25pabBspe and trpA2 were investigated for the presence of ST131/O25b clone. Among multidrug resistant isolates, co-existence of O25pabBspe and trpA2 was detected in 29 isolates (47.5%). The fimH30 and H30Rx subclones were detected in four isolates that are strong biofilm-producers. These results suggest that clinical E. coli strains may become reservoirs of virulence and antibiotic resistance genes. This study demonstrates a significant difference in biofilm formation between E. coli ST131 and non-ST131 isolates. Moreover, 86.21% (n = 25) of ST131 isolates produced strong to moderate biofilms, while only 43.75% (n = 14) of non-ST131 isolates showed the ability to form strong biofilms. Presence of iutA and fimA genes in the majority of ST131 strains showed an important role in biofilm formation. These findings suggest application of iutA and fimA gene suppressors in treatment of infections caused by biofilm-producing drug-resistant ST131 strains.
‘But this is a wizardry something that has to be removed first’

In Nigeria, diagnoses of schizophrenia and descriptions of its symptoms and experiences are shaped by numerous biomedical and sociocultural perspectives. However, although many studies have focused on the social realities and public attitudes towards the disorder, the interactional means of how its diagnoses and experiences are constituted in psychiatric interviews have not hitherto received close attention from linguists in Nigeria. This paper thus examines a corpus of 56 audio recorded interviews in mental health clinics in southwestern Nigeria, using insights from Arundale’s concept of communicating and relating and Stalnaker’s notion of common ground. It observes that diagnoses of the disorder do not subscribe to any rigid diagnostic pathways, but evolve from the relational, provisional and operative interpretation of the design of its experiences and other shared contextual situations that collectively instantiate the knowledge of mental illness in Nigeria.
Re-conceptualising communicative expertise in professional practice through the lens of sign language intercultural mediation
Authors: Napier Jemina
Published: July 2024

The Candlin Lecture

When we consider language, communication and the professions, we know that talk (speech or signs) is critical to professional practice and to relationships between professionals and service users. In a multilingual and multicultural world where people do not share the same languages or language repertoires, they must either adapt the way they talk to others (intercultural communication) or, if they cannot communicate directly, allow others to mediate communication on their behalf – a process labelled intercultural mediation. The latter occurs through professional or non-professional interpreting or language brokering. Current theories in interpreting studies consider (professional) interpreters as co-constructors of meaning and co-participants in any interaction. Communicative expertise is usually conceptualized in direct, monolingual communication. Using an explorative illustrative case study, this paper extends this theoretical framework to examine how communicative expertise manifests in interpreter-mediated communication, and particularly in relational aspects of intercultural mediation between a signed language and a spoken language and how professional interpreters and non-professional interpreters (brokers) draw on and apply their expert or lay knowledge about communication in a mediated interaction.
Bridging the gap

Published: July 2024

The inclusion of the new mediation scales in the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR) has fostered the role of second-language (L2) learners as multilingual social agents performing mediation activities that can build bridges between distant entities. However, even though mediation has become a fashionable topic in scholarly debate, there are still very few studies based on empirical evidence that support the theory. This study provides an empirical approach to mediation processes in the L2 classroom, more specifically in a context with Spanish-speaking first-language (L1) students enrolled in a German course in a Colombian university. The mediation processes are analyzed during two activities in which the students had to interact to fulfill the task. The aim of the study is twofold: (1) to measure the proportion of the types of mediation acts used in each activity; and (2) to provide specific examples of the strategies deployed in the mediation acts. The quantitative analysis confirms the presence of three types of mediation proposed by the CEFR – linguistic, communicative and cognitive – but records a low proportion of mediations performed in the L2, which reflects the difficulty associated with cognitively demanding tasks.
Interactionally negotiating power in ‘War for Talent’ job interviews
Authors: De Dijn Melina , Van De Mieroop Dorien
Published: July 2024

Job interviews (JIs) are often described in the literature as asymmetrical gatekeeping encounters. This power imbalance is expected to be visible, for instance, in how the differential distribution of discursive resources favors the interviewer, whose interactional rights surpass those of the candidate. However, this view on job interviews has been criticized for not sufficiently taking into account the agency of the participants, and in this article, we develop this line of research further by also integrating context as a crucial factor for a correct understanding of power. There have been important changes in the recruitment context recently – which, especially in some sectors, has moved to a ‘War for Talent’ (WarFT) – and we argue that this may unsettle the job interview's ‘traditional’ power dynamic and even result, sometimes, in ‘reversed gatekeeping’. We scrutinize the traces of this trend by adopting a micro-oriented, multimodal discourse analytical method to study the interactional processes typically linked to power in twelve WarFT job interviews. We argue that in this WarFT context interactional power may indeed shift as a result of the agentive choices of the JI participants and may at times even result in a reversal of this interactional power dynamic. This shows the importance of the interface between agency and context in understanding how power is negotiated in interaction.

Chamuangone is an exotic medicinal compound isolated from Garcinia cowa leaves. It shows great potential against inflammation, neurodegeneration, and oxidation. Through green extraction method, chamuangone-rich rice bran oil (CRBO) containing 1.97 mg/mL of chamuangone was obtained. This research study investigates the therapeutic effects of CRBO on D-galactose- and aluminum chloride (AlCl3)-induced Alzheimer’s disease in rat model. In all, 30 rats were divided into six groups and treated for 42 days as follows: control group (vehicle), disease control group (AlCl3 150 mg/kg + D-galactose 150 mg/kg p.o.), standard group (rivastigmine 3 mg/kg p.o.), and CRBO treatment groups with doses of 2.5, 5.0, and 7.5 mg/kg p.o. Neurobehavioral studies were performed on completion of 42 days. Furthermore, biochemical, neurochemical, and histopathological analyses were performed. CRBO treatment mitigated impairment in neuromuscular coordination, mentation and cognition in behavioral tasks. It potentially recovered (p < 0.001) the declined level of catalase, superoxide dismutase, reduced glutathione and lipid peroxidation. Neurochemical analysis revealed the restoration of serotonin, noradrenaline, and dopamine concentration in the brain after CRBO treatment. Histopathological examination of vital organs revealed recovery in CRBO-treated rats in a dose-dependent manner. Owing to neurotoxic effects of inducing agents, the level of acetylcholinesterase decreased in disease control group; however, CRBO treatment recovered the declined activity of this enzyme. Therefore, it is concluded that CRBO significantly recovered the neurodegenerative effects through multiple pathways, such as amelioration of oxidative stress and neuronal plasticity. Therefore, this innovative green remedy can be considered as a natural alternative for treating neurodegenerative disorders.
Regional Differences in Life Expectancy in Russia Through the Lens of Epidemiological Transition

An immense territory of Russia with several climatic zones and, accordingly, a fundamentally different styles of life, inevitably results in pronounced varieties in the levels and structure of mortality across the regions of the country. Since the scale and sustainability of differences in mortality in Russia can be considered an entire epidemiological epoch, the evaluation of them through the lens of epidemiological transition seems methodologically appropriate. Regional differences are regarded as a kind of projection of evolution in time, though taking into account modern realities. The analysis of regional differences in mortality is based on such indicators as life expectancy, structure of mortality, i.e., predominantly endogenous to exogenous causes of death ratio, as well as the average age of death from predominantly endogenous causes calculated on the basis of life tables by cause of death. The study showed that according to the periodization of epidemiological transition only Moscow and St. Petersburg are at the final phase of the 3rd stage and are moving to the 4th stage of epidemiological development. Meanwhile, the burden of exogenous and preventable pathologies precludes the completion of the 3rd stage in the regions with high life expectancy according to Russian criteria. The stadial nature of epidemiologic development of Russian regions is currently conditioned by socio-economic and medical determinants, with more pressing medical determinants in regions with high and medium levels of life expectancy and socio-economic factors prevailing in regions with low life expectancy.
