An emotional relationship between business and consumers can create positive aspects. However, complexity of emotional processes can become a challenge concerning the long-term growth of companies pursuing to implement such a strategy. Therefore, this study aspires to evidence possible fragilities of organizational strategies, which create value through emotional aspects. Consequently, we conducted a case study of the Canadian company Cirque du Soleil, with data collection consisting of: an interview with the firm’s head publicist; in addition to interviews undertaken by secondary data; three months spent amongst one of the company’s shows; and by secondary data from both the electronic and press media. Data analysis and interpretation were established by using the content analysis technique. It was acknowledged that despite the rapid growth and success of the company, there are still certain challenges relating to the continued growth associated with the consolidation of emotional relationships.

Authors: Costa Priscila Rezende da , Itelvino Lucimar Da Silva
Published: February 2021

Purpose of the study: To explore how the innovative entrepreneurship strategy of social entrepreneurship qualifies the offer of educational and health products and services. Methodology / approach: We adopt the qualitative research termed Grounded Theory, based on empirical data. For this purpose, we develop a didactic example, with the detailed use of the ATLAS.ti Software. The hermeneutical unit (project in ATLAS.ti) contemplated the following primary documents: (a) life stories of six social entrepreneurs; (b) reports on the development of social affairs (Cren, Cies, Geekie, Imaflora, Educar and Noos) and (c) testimonials of impacted individuals. Main results: In relation to the main results, we highlight the didactic detail on how ATLAS.ti is used to support the codings (open, axial and selective), which underpin the Grounded Theory, promoting the organization, recovery and cross-referencing of data about the strategy of the rise of innovative entrepreneurship in social affairs; Theoretical / methodological contributions: The main contribution is the proposition of a Grounded Theory alignment matrix, with detailed use of the ATLAS.ti Software, considering as a didactic example the strategy of the rise of innovative entrepreneurship in social businesses, which qualify the supply of education and health products and services. Relevance / originality: We are able to demonstrate the associations between categories and subcategories of study analysis from characteristic components of ATLAS.ti (not available in other CAQDAS), such as Code Cooccurence and Networks.

Authors: Kosińska Barbara , Turczyn Paweł , Wesołowski Krzysztof , Tarnacka Beata , Malec-Milewska Małgorzata
Published: February 2021

Patients with chronic low back pain are a heterogeneous group. Therapeutic management of these patients should address the underlying mechanism of pain, which can be revealed after performing diagnostic tests. The management of patients with the predominant central sensitization component of includes multimodal therapy consisting of pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatment. An important element is also the identification and exclusion of the most important pathophysiological factors affecting the maintenance of central sensitization mechanisms in each patient. The paper describes pharmacological and non-pharmacological therapeutic options in patients with central sensitization component, considering that these methods may differ significantly in the patients. It should be stated that despite the individualized, multimodal therapy based on pain mechanisms, in some patients substantial pain relief may not be achieved.
Museums as agents and settings for climate hope
Authors: Sutton Sarah W.
Published: February 2021

Despite the uneven distribution of the impacts of climate change, much of the World’s population commonly encounters climate change evidence either directly or indirectly. For many, the dread of a slow-onset disaster of such proportions can be overwhelming. As the emotional effects of climate change appear across society, some people are driven to action, some to inaction or paralysis. Museums could be key agents in turning these emotions into action and hope, but the work is new and the research uneven. The author describes her experience of the intersection of museum work and public emotions on climate change by exploring climate change psychology, museum-public engagement through exhibits, suitability of museums for climate-emotion work, and the potential for alternative museum approaches such as programming partnerships to create hope and foster action. She recommends research questions for the museum sector, and programmatic approaches for museums exploring support services for a public moving from grief and anxiety or despair, to hope.

Published: February 2021

Este artigo busca caracterizar o discurso sobre o aniversário de 400 anos de Belém a partir de suas materialidades na imprensa da capital paraense. Para isso, optamos por analisar discursivamente o conteúdo jornalístico do portal G1 Pará, veículo que dedicou uma página exclusiva aos festejos referentes ao aniversário de Belém em 2016. Recortamos, então, enunciados midiáticos, procurando pontes que lhes vinculem àqueles publicados nos jornais impressos do ano de 1966, “O Liberal” e “Folha do Norte”, quando foi comemorado o aniversário de 350 anos da cidade. O artigo tem como referencial teórico-metodológico a análise do discurso de linha foucaultiana, apoiando-se, para a compreensão de nosso objeto empírico, em categorias das teorias do jornalismo.
ARTESANATO E MÍDIA: QUANDO O MIDIÁTICO ATRAVESSA O TRADICIONAL
Authors: Prado Denise Figueiredo Barros do
Published: February 2021

Neste artigo, discute-se como as produções artesanais revelam as articulações entre a cultura popular e o midiático a partir da observação e análise das recentes produções artesanais de Mariana (MG). Isto se deve a percepção de que tais produções se revelam fortemente vinculadas à cultura midiática, especialmente pela incorporação de personagens de HQs famosos e desenhos animados (como Minions, Homem Aranha e Galinha Pintadinha). Entende-se que o surgimento deste tipo de produção artesanal se constitui como um fenômeno privilegiado para a compreensão da forma como o contexto midiático contemporâneo é processado e articulado às práticas culturais populares. Para compreender este cenário, buscamos as contribuições de Canclini (2015), relativos à hibridização, e Certeau (2008, 2009) sobre as práticas culturais, entre outras contribuições teórico-conceituais.

Apresentamos investigação sobre o cinema em língua portuguesa, analisando especificamente os filmes, A toca do lobo (2015), de Catarina Mourão, uma produção documental portuguesa, e A cidade onde envelheço (2016), de Marília Rocha, uma co-produção ficcional Brasil-Portugal. Buscamos problematizar, nas obras, os conceitos de ensaio e etnografia, relacionando-os tanto ao processo de realização como à elaboração teórica das cineastas acerca de seus filmes e do próprio cinema. Assim, as obras dialogam com temas relacionados ao objeto de estudo das realizadoras e também pesquisadoras em cinema. Como proposto pela Teoria dos cineastas, buscamos correlação entre as obras e as concepções de cinema a que remetem, a partir das manifestações verbais e escritas das cineastas e dos próprios filmes.
TELENOVELA E TURISMO: UMA ANÁLISE ESTILÍSTICA DE O OUTRO LADO DO PARAÍSO
Authors: Oliveira Filho José Tarcísio Silva , Martins Rafael Barbosa Fialho , Costa Natiele Lopes
Published: February 2021

Este trabalho lança mão da metodologia de Análise Estilística, conforme preconizada por Jeremy Butler, para observar como a telenovela O Outro Lado do Paraíso, exibida pela TV Globo entre os anos de 2017 e 2018, aborda o turismo na região do Jalapão, no Tocantins. É selecionado um evento narrativo que permite observar a relação entre a narrativa ficcional seriada e o turismo enquanto atividade econômica. A análise permite observar três frentes em que o apelo turístico é empregado na telenovela: I) a estrutura receptora do turista; II) cultura local como atrativo e; III) valorização das belezas naturais. Entre as considerações elencadas, reflete-se sobre a função social da telenovela que permite aos espectadores conhecer lugares distantes, a propagação de um destino idealizado que reforça a exclusão de determinados grupos sociais e a importância das narrativas seriadas para o setor turístico.

COMUNICAÇÃO OMNICHANNEL: CONVERGINDO RELACIONAMENTOS E EXPERIÊNCIAS OFF-LINE E ON-LINE
Authors: Fernandes Fabio Frá , E Silva Marcela Guimarães
Published: February 2021

Este artigo busca refletir sobre a perspectiva omnichannel, aqui apropriada para pensar a comunicação como forma de garantir relacionamentos e experiências similares em todos os canais que uma organização dispõe. Metodologicamente, este texto parte de um breve estado da arte sobre a sociedade em rede e a ressignificação dos territórios mediados pelo digital; sobre as redes sociais digitais como propulsores da comunicação ubíqua e, ainda, como esses conceitos ajudam a compreender e exercitar a ideia de comunicação omnichannel. Desses conceitos, é apresentado um breve relato sobre as estratégias de comunicação omnichannel do Grupo Boticário, a partir da leitura de uma palestra realizada pelo seu diretor de e-commerce Guilherme Farinelli. Com essa articulação, é possível perceber como pode ser colocada em prática a comunicação omnichannel, e como ela se reflete nas relações entre marca e públicos.
‘GUERRA’ AOS LIVROS: PRODUÇÃO EDITORIAL E CENSURA NA ABERTURA POLÍTICA
Authors: Castilho Marcio De Souza
Published: February 2021

O artigo se propõe a examinar a heterogeneidade da produção editorial durante a ditadura civil-militar no Brasil, com ênfase no processo de descompressão política promovido no governo de Ernesto Geisel (1974-1979). Em diálogo com as contribuições trazidas por autores que combinam a análise do ambiente editorial com os instrumentos que garantiram a manutenção do regime, como os processos censórios, buscamos apontar outros caminhos possíveis para investigação acadêmica. O estudo sustenta que a produção e circulação de livros, de temáticas variadas, contribuíram para a formação de um ambiente de discussão sobre a necessidade de superação do modelo autoritário, sem que os militares, com apoio de segmentos da sociedade civil, tenham perdido controle sobre o processo de abertura política.
DIÁRIOS DE TESTEMUNHAS: DAS MEMÓRIAS SUBJETIVAS AOS PRODUTOS MIDIÁTICOS
Authors: Heller Barbara , Vargas Herom
Published: February 2021

Neste artigo analisamos três narrativas de memórias veiculadas no Brasil por importantes editoras comerciais: A guerra não tem rosto de mulher, de Svetlana Aleksiévitch, Eu sou Malala, de Malala Yousafzai e Christina Lamb e Diários de Berlim, de Marie Vassiltchikov. Problematizamos os conceitos de trauma, testemunho, memória e verdade, com Seligmann-Silva, Pollak e Sarlo, e o gênero textual diário, com Lejeune e Duarte. As escolhas visuais das capas são pensadas dentro das lógicas editoriais que transformam a subjetividade dos diários em atraentes produtos comerciais. Os resultados apontam para a diversidade de tipos de testemunho, o alargamento do gênero textual diário e a organicidade das capas com as narrativas que embalam.
El camino del filósofo. Husserl y el sentido de la ética
Authors: Chu García Mariana
Published: February 2021

Las reflexiones de Husserl sobre la ética se caracterizan por el intento de hacer de ella una ciencia, pero terminan con la subordinación de los problemas éticos a la metafísica. Tomando como hilo conductor la reflexión husserliana sobre la ética en tanto Kunstlehre, el artículo intenta mostrar cómo el sentido y ámbito de la ética se van ampliando hasta el punto de que su subordinación a la metafísica responde al carácter ético que ha de tener la existencia del mundo y de la humanidad. Con este fin, seguimos el camino que va de la fundación estática de la ética de la primera lección de 1914 a la fundación genética de las lecciones de 1920/24 y terminamos con la consideración de dos textos del inicio de los años treinta en los que Husserl retoma la argumentación de estas últimas lecciones.Husserl’s meditations on ethics are characterized by his attempt to configure it as science, but they end by subordinating ethical problems to metaphysics. Starting by Husserl’s reflection on ethics as Kunstlehre, this paper attempts to show how the sense and scope of ethics expands to the point that its subordination to metaphysics responds to the ethical character that the world and humanity’s existence should both have. With this in view, this paper follows the path that leads from the static foundation of ethics in the first 1914 lessons, to its genetic foundation in the 1920/24 lessons. It concludes considering two texts from the beginning of the 1930’s, whereby Husserl deals again with the arguments of the latter lessons.
¿Una razón sin astucia? Revisitando el tópico fenomenología trascendental e historia
Authors: Díaz Álvarez Jesús M.
Published: February 2021

En este ensayo su autor revisita el tópico fenomenología trascendental e historia 12 años después de la publicación de un trabajo amplio sobre el tema. El escrito esta dividido en tres partes donde se muestras acuerdos y discrepancias con esa interpretación inicial. En la primera se rebate la tesis tan extendida de que la fenomenología de Husserl es alérgica a la historia y se establece una conjetura razonable sobre por qué, y a pesar de la evidencias en contra, sigue todavía bastante vigente esa idea entre los no versados en su obra. En la segunda parte, se muestra en positivo la articulación entre fenomenología e historia y se concluye que la manera quizá más adecuada de entender el sentido último del pensamiento de Husserl es comprenderlo como una teoría transcendental de la historia. Para mostrar esto se expondrá, en primer lugar, el hecho crucial del paso de la fenomenología estática a la fenomenología genética. En segundo lugar, se incidirá en la mutua interconexión entre historia intencional, a priori de la historia y filosofía o teleología de la historia. Por fin, en una tercera y última parte, se realizan algunas valoraciones críticas de las ideas husserlianas. También una autocrítica de algunas partes del mencionado trabajo publicado hace 12 años. Todas tienen que ver, en última instancia, con lo que hoy entiendo como excesiva potencia de la teleología de la historia y la idea de racionalidad y fundamento que la animan.In this essay, the author revisits the topic transcendental phenomenology and history 12 years after the publication of a book on the subject. The paper is divided into three parts and shows agreements and discrepancies with that initial interpretation. The first part contradicts the widespread thesis that Husserl's phenomenology is allergic to history, and develops a conjecture about why, despite the evidence to the contrary, this thesis is still quite common among those not strictly versed in Husserl’s work. The second part shows the positive articulation among phenomenology and history. It concludes that the best way to understand the ultimate meaning of Husserl's thought is considering it as a transcendental theory of history. In order to show the plausibility of this reading, this part of the essay will expose, first, the step from static to genetic phenomenology, and secondly, the mutual interconnection between intentional history, a priori of history, and philosophy or teleology of history. Finally, in a third and final part, some critical assessments of Husserl's ideas are made, also a criticism of the mentioned book of the author of the paper published 12 years ago. They are concerned, ultimately, with what I now understand as an excessive power of teleology of history and the idea of rationality and foundation that animates it.
Hábitos, carácter y personalidad en Husserl
Authors: Ferrer Santos Urbano
Published: February 2021

Los hábitos tienen en Husserl un sentido pasivo, derivado de la sedimentación de los actos, y un sentido activo, que unifica las distintas voliciones. En este sentido activo, la individualidad de la persona se manifiesta en el carácter y en las actitudes personales. Para aprehender los rasgos de la personalidad hay que abandonar la actitud científico-natural, por cuanto la unidad de la persona se presenta fenomenólogicamente de modo heterogéneo a la unidad de las cosas físicas. Desde la actitud personalista se sitúan tanto la vida ética y comunitaria como la cultura, que aparece como enlace entre persona y comunidad.The notion of habit has in Husserl a passive sense, deriving from the settling of acts, and an active sense, which unifies the diverse volitions. In this latter sense the individuality of each person manifests itself in character and attitudes. In order to grasp the traits of the personality, it is neccesary to abandon the scientific-natural attitude, since the unity of the person is phenomenologically presented as being heterogeneous to the unity of physical things. From the personalist attitude come ethical and community life and culture, which appears as link between the person and the community.

Published: February 2021

Este Homenaje a Julia Iribarne nos ha dado la ocasión de recordar la doble dedicación de nuestra ilustre colega a la filosofía y a las letras. Mi función, en este Homenaje, será ocuparme de su breve pero valiosa labor literaria, dar cuenta de su significación y lugar dentro de su obra total. Me propongo hacer una presentación amplia de sus cinco obras de creación, y luego una aproximación fenomenológica a dos de ellas, elegidas en particular para este trabajo: el libro de cuentos Sueño de sombras, y la novela Por las calles de Dios en plena siesta. Señalo en esas obras su constitución literaria y dejo indicada la posibilidad y el comienzo de una hermenéutica en continuidad con preocupaciones filosóficas de Julia Iribarne como la intersubjetividad, la identidad personal, la relación poesía/filosofía, la presencia de lo sagrado.This Homage to Julia Iribarne has given us the opportunity to remember the twofold dedication of our distinguished colleague to philosophy and literature. Mi role in this Homage is to deal with her brief but valuable literary work, and to account for its significance and place within her whole production. My purpose is to offer first a general presentation of her five creative books, and then a phenomenological approach to two of them, which have been selected for this article: Sueño de sombras, a book of stories, and Por las calles de Dios en plena siesta, a novel. Regarding these books, their literary composition is shown and I suggest the possibility and beginning of a hermeneutics that would continue Julia Iribarne’s philosophical concerns such as intersubjectivity, personal identity, the relationship between poetry and philosophy, and the presence of the sacred.

El análisis reflexivo y el método fenomenológico. Contribución a la detrascendentalización de la fenomenología
Authors: Vargas Guillén Germán
Published: February 2021

Este estudio da cinco pasos. En el primero se caracterizan los orígenes del análisis reflexivo. Bajo el título “origen” se incluyen, principalmente, las motivaciones y el campo de aplicación al cual está referido. En el segundo paso, se presentan las características del análisis reflexivo, sobre todo en términos de supuestos y de la relación del mismo con el canon fenomenológico de estirpe husserliana. En el tercer paso, se valora el alcance del análisis reflexivo como técnica; en cierto modo, se estudia cómo puede operar con y sin la fenomenología como enfoque, teoría o método integral dentro de la investigación. En el cuarto paso, se establece cómo el análisis reflexivo ha encontrado unas alternativas de aplicación, por parte de Lester Embree; sobre todo, se mira el enlace que tiene o puede tener con la individuación al tenor de la lectura de Ideas II de Husserl. Como cierre, en el quinto paso, se establece críticamente el alcance del análisis reflexivo y las posibilidades que ofrece para el desarrollo o continuación de la fenomenología, en el contexto de las vertientes contemporáneas sobre este enfoque.The article is divided into five moments. The first one presents the origins of the reflective analysis; under the title “origin” is included, mainly, the motivations and the scope to which it is referred. The second one refers to the characteristics of the reflective analysis, especially in terms of assumptions and relate to the same lineage husserlian’s phenomenological canon. The third one assesses the scope of the reflective analysis as technique; in this way, it explores how can operate with and without the Phenomenology as approach, theory or method integral within the research. The fourth one sets how reflective analysis has found some alternatives of the application by Lester Embree; most of all, the link that has or can have is regarded with to the individuation in way of Ideas II by Husserl. Finally, it sets critically the scope of the reflective analysis and the possibilities for devel-opment or continuation of Phenomenology in the context of the contemporary approach in this perspective.
Análisis genético del "Análisis reflexivo". Para un re-encuentro fenomenológico: Lester Embree, Javier San Martín, Ludwig Landgrebe y José Ortega y Gasset

En el contexto del homenaje filosófico que rendimos a Lester Embree (1938-2017), este trabajo intenta ofrecer un análisis genético del Análisis reflexivo del filósofo norteamericano, tomando como hilo conductor el debate público y privado (establecido en su intercambio epistolar) entre Lester Embree y Javier San Martín, e intentando profundizar en los problemas que nos plantean. Para ello me remitiré, en un segundo momento, a dos ensayos de Ludwig Landgrebe publicados en Faktizität und Individuation (1982). Finalmente, como cierre de este escrito, añado un breve “Epílogo para orteguianos. Lester Embree in memoriam”.As a part of the philosophical tribute we render to Lester Embree (1938-2017), this essay aims at presenting a genetic analysis of the Reflective Analysis of the American philosopher, by focusing on the public and private debate (established in his epistolary exchange) between Lester Embree and Javier San Martín, and trying to deepen the problems that they pose to us. For this I will refer, in a second part, to two essays of Ludwig Landgrebe published in Faktizität und Individuation (1982). Finally, as conclusion of this paper, I add a brief "Epilogue for Orteguian. Lester Embree in memoriam".
Europe and Mankind. Husserl’s Biased Reflections on the Origin of Philosophy and Not Europeanized Civilizations
Authors: Holenstein Elmar
Published: February 2021

Nowhere does the theory-laden character of Husserl’s phenomenological intuitions become as apparent as in his reflections on cultural philosophy. It is his theory that the qualification of one‘s own tradition as one of many manifestations of something valid in itself and binding for all is a unique achievement of Greek-European philosophy. However, that conviction can be found equally in South Asian (Indian) “doctrines of Oneness” as well as in East Asian (Chinese) instances of the “Golden Rule”. Every person with a command of a natural language is capable of such an insight.The most appropriate model for individual civilizations is not the sphere metaphor, which draws on a Platonic idea of organism, the model that Husserl adopted for his conception of “home” and “foreign worlds”, but rather the image of tinkering introduced by Claude Lévi-Strauss for illiterate societies and used by François Jacob to illustrate the present biological concept of organism.Regarding cultural universals, Husserl also relies on classical ontological reflections rather than on recent biological models. The most inter-esting anthropological universals from the point of view of cultural philosophy are, however, not essential, but contingent universals.En ninguna parte el carácter cargado de teoría de las intuiciones fenomenológicas de Husserl se vuelve tan aparente como en sus reflexiones sobre la filosofía cultural. Según su teoría, la calificación de la propia tradición como una de las muchas manifestaciones de algo válido en sí mismo y vinculante para todos es un logro único de la filosofía greco-europea. Sin embargo, esa convicción se puede encontrar igualmente en las "doctrinas de la unidad" del sur de Asia (India), así como en las instancias del este asiático (chino) de la "regla de oro". Cada persona con un dominio de un lenguaje natural es capaz de tal idea.El modelo más apropiado para las civilizaciones individuales no es la metáfora de la esfera, que se basa en una idea platónica del organismo —el modelo que adoptó Husserl para su concepción de "hogar" y "mundos extranjeros"— sino la imagen de retoque introducida por Claude Lévi Strauss para las sociedades analfabetas y utilizado por François Jacob para ilustrar el concepto biológico actual del organismo.Con respecto a los universales culturales, Husserl también se basa en reflexiones ontoló-gicas clásicas más que en modelos biológicos recientes. Sin embargo, los universales antropológicos más interesantes desde el punto de vista de la filosofía cultural no son esenciales, sino universales contingentes.
Husserl and Schutz on Cultural Objects
Authors: Yu Chung-chi
Published: February 2021

Lester Embree is very concerned with the issue of culture in his philosophical thinking. Besides his preoccupation with the cultural disciplines, he explores the notions of culture in Schutz and Gurwitsch. He even brings up the term “phenomenology of culture.”  With inspirations from Embree, the present paper intends to explore culture as a phenomenological theme. Starting with elaboration on the concept of cultural object in both Husserl and Schutz, the paper focuses on the question of cultural difference and universalism. I contend that despite apparent differences between Schutz and Husserl, there is close positioning between them. In the final part of my paper, I make a deeper reflection on the problem of cultural difference.Lester Embree está muy preocupado con el tema de la cultura en su pensamiento filosófico. Además de su preocupación por las disciplinas culturales, explora las nociones de cultura en Schutz y Gurwitsch. Incluso menciona el término "fenomenología de la cultura". Con inspiraciones de Embree, el presente documento pretende explorar la cultura como un tema fenomenológico. Comenzando con la elaboración del concepto de objeto cultural tanto en Husserl como en Schutz, el artículo se centra en la cues-tión de la diferencia cultural y el universalismo. Sostengo que a pesar de las aparentes diferencias entre Schutz y Husserl, existe un posicionamiento cercano entre ellos. En la parte final de mi trabajo, hago una reflexión más profunda sobre el problema de la diferencia cultural.
The Effects of Enjoyable Couple Activity and Common Dyadic Coping on Marital Satisfaction through Mediation of Sexual Intimacy: Focusing on Urban Chinese Women in the Early Years of Marriage
Authors: Kim Deuksung , Kwon Yoona , Xin Siyuan
Published: February 2021

The present study examined whether enjoyable couple activity and common dyadic coping as daily positive couple interactions have direct or indirect effects on marital satisfaction through the mediation of sexual intimacy among urban Chinese women in the early years of marriage. The subjects were 182 urban women born under the one-child policy, who live in Heilongjiang, Anhui and Beijing provinces of China, and have been married up to six years. Data were collected using a self-administered questionnaire. We conducted a hierarchical multiple regression analysis in SPSS software and tested the significance of the mediation effects using bootstrapping method in Mplus software. The results of the study are as follows. First, both enjoyable couple activity and common dyadic coping had positive direct impacts on urban Chinese women’s marital satisfaction and positive indirect impacts on marital satisfaction via sexual intimacy. Second, enjoyable couple activity was the strongest predictor of marital satisfaction, followed by common dyadic coping and sexual intimacy. The path model explained 48% of the variance in marital satisfaction. The results suggest that enjoyable couple activity, common dyadic coping, and sexual intimacy should be considered in the design of interventions to enhance urban Chinese women’s marital satisfaction in the early years of marriage.

Authors: Ju Sueun , Yang Ji Sun
Published: February 2021

This study develops and applies a service learning course that integrates university curriculum with the local community in housing and interior design. The results of the study are as follows.
First, the service learning course of the housing and interior design was developed as a six-week lecture based on the project model with the theme of housing for the socially disadvantaged. Second, this course was implemented with faculty, students, interior designers, and service recipients to engage in activities to improve the educational environment of local child centers. Next, students engaged in the service learning course and continuously conducted reflection activities to enhance the effectiveness of learning. In reflection activities, students assessed that self-directed capabilities increased as has employing the coordination and applicability to meet identified community needs. Finally, faculty, students, and experts (including institutional experts and supervising departments) evaluated course practice and educational outcomes. Experts assessed that the course clarified course objectives, utilized various learning strategies, and showed that the structural reflection mode of learners and professors was overwhelmingly positive.
The results indicated that service-learning courses enable students to integrate academic study with social work to better understand course content through direct engagements in experience learning. Furthermore, students are empowered by participation in public services that benefit service clients and consultants as students take more personal responsibility for learning.

Street art in the perception of Russian urban youth: a manifestation of creativity or a kind of vandalism?
Authors: Rudenkin Dmitry Vasil'evich
Published: February 2021

The article is devoted to the analysis of the dominant attitudes of Russian urban youth to street art. The period of growing up of representatives of modern urban youth in Russia came at a time when street art began to gradually turn into a familiar element of cultural life and even a kind of brand of many cities. And the basic hypothesis of the work is that growing up in the conditions of the development of street art could form interest and loyalty to this creative genre among the current representatives of Russian urban youth. To test this hypothesis, the author refers to the data of his own sociological research conducted among the youth of a particular city вЂ“ Yekaterinburg. The key subject of this research is the peculiarities of street art ideas characteristic of the city's youth. As a result of the analysis of the collected data, the author comes to the conclusion that the hypothesis about the formation of a loyal and interested attitude to street art among urban youth turns out to be fair. Street art is perceived by young people as a full-fledged creative genre that makes the city brighter and more attractive. There is practically no attitude to street art as vandalism and abuse of urban space among young people. And young people expect the authorities not to fight street art, but to create conditions for its development. The key result of this work is the conclusion: the youth of the city are accustomed to treat street art as something natural and organic for the social reality of the city. The novelty of the conducted research and the conclusions obtained lies in the use of sociological methodology to analyze the role of street art in the life of a modern city: referring to the survey techniques, the author shows what attitude to street art has been established among the youth of the city and analyzes the reasons that led to this.

In previous work, we showed that intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) of proteins contain sequence-distributed molecular features that are conserved over evolution, despite little sequence similarity that can be detected in alignments (Zarin et al., 2019). Here, we aim to use these molecular features to predict specific biological functions for individual IDRs and identify the molecular features within them that are associated with these functions. We find that the predictable functions are diverse. Examining the associated molecular features, we note some that are consistent with previous reports and identify others that were previously unknown. We experimentally confirm that elevated isoelectric point and hydrophobicity, features that are positively associated with mitochondrial localization, are necessary for mitochondrial targeting function. Remarkably, increasing isoelectric point in a synthetic IDR restores weak mitochondrial targeting. We believe feature analysis represents a new systematic approach to understand how biological functions of IDRs are specified by their protein sequences.

In recent years, a wealth of Drosophila neuroscience data have become available including cell type and connectome/synaptome datasets for both the larva and adult fly. To facilitate integration across data modalities and to accelerate the understanding of the functional logic of the fruit fly brain, we have developed FlyBrainLab, a unique open-source computing platform that integrates 3D exploration and visualization of diverse datasets with interactive exploration of the functional logic of modeled executable brain circuits. FlyBrainLab’s User Interface, Utilities Libraries and Circuit Libraries bring together neuroanatomical, neurogenetic and electrophysiological datasets with computational models of different researchers for validation and comparison within the same platform. Seeking to transcend the limitations of the connectome/synaptome, FlyBrainLab also provides libraries for molecular transduction arising in sensory coding in vision/olfaction. Together with sensory neuron activity data, these libraries serve as entry points for the exploration, analysis, comparison, and evaluation of circuit functions of the fruit fly brain.

Drosophila reproductive behaviors are directed by fruitless neurons. A reanalysis of genomic studies shows that genes encoding dpr and DIP immunoglobulin superfamily (IgSF) members are expressed in fru P1 neurons. We find that each fru P1 and dpr/DIP (fru P1 ∩ dpr/DIP) overlapping expression pattern is similar in both sexes, but there are dimorphisms in neuronal morphology and cell number. Behavioral studies of fru P1 ∩ dpr/DIP perturbation genotypes indicate that the mushroom body functions together with the lateral protocerebral complex to direct courtship behavior. A single-cell RNA-seq analysis of fru P1 neurons shows that many DIPs have high expression in a small set of neurons, whereas the dprs are often expressed in a larger set of neurons at intermediate levels, with a myriad of dpr/DIP expression combinations. Functionally, we find that perturbations of sex hierarchy genes and of DIP-ε change the sex-specific morphologies of fru P1 ∩ DIP-α neurons.

RNA-binding proteins play myriad roles in regulating RNAs and RNA-mediated functions. In bacteria, the RNA chaperone Hfq is an important post-transcriptional gene regulator. Using live-cell super-resolution imaging, we can distinguish Hfq binding to different sizes of cellular RNAs. We demonstrate that under normal growth conditions, Hfq exhibits widespread mRNA-binding activity, with the distal face of Hfq contributing mostly to the mRNA binding in vivo. In addition, sRNAs can either co-occupy Hfq with the mRNA as a ternary complex, or displace the mRNA from Hfq in a binding face-dependent manner, suggesting mechanisms through which sRNAs rapidly access Hfq to induce sRNA-mediated gene regulation. Finally, our data suggest that binding of Hfq to certain mRNAs through its distal face can recruit RNase E to promote turnover of these mRNAs in a sRNA-independent manner, and such regulatory function of Hfq can be decoyed by sRNA competitors that bind strongly at the distal face.
Evolutionary shifts in taste coding in the fruit pest Drosophila suzukii

Published: February 2021

Although mostDrosophilaspecies lay eggs in overripe fruit, the agricultural pestDrosophila suzukiilays eggs in ripe fruit. We found that changes in bitter taste perception have accompanied this adaptation. We show that bitter-sensing mutants ofDrosophila melanogasterundergo a shift in egg laying preference toward ripe fruit.D. suzukiihas lost 20% of the bitter-sensing sensilla from the labellum, the major taste organ of the head. Physiological responses to various bitter compounds are lost. Responses to strawberry purées are lost from two classes of taste sensilla. Egg laying is not deterred by bitter compounds that deter other species. Profiling of labellar transcriptomes reveals reduced expression of several bitterGrgenes (gustatory receptors). These findings support a model in which bitter compounds in early ripening stages deter egg laying in mostDrosophilaspecies, but a loss of bitter response contributes to the adaptation ofD. suzukiito ripe fruit.

Metabolic reprogramming between resistance and tolerance occurs within the immune system in response to sepsis. While metabolic tissues such as the liver are subjected to damage during sepsis, how their metabolic and energy reprogramming ensures survival is unclear. Employing comprehensive metabolomic, lipidomic, and transcriptional profiling in a mouse model of sepsis, we show that hepatocyte lipid metabolism, mitochondrial tricarboxylic acid (TCA) energetics, and redox balance are significantly reprogrammed after cecal ligation and puncture (CLP). We identify increases in TCA cycle metabolites citrate, cis-aconitate, and itaconate with reduced fumarate and triglyceride accumulation in septic hepatocytes. Transcriptomic analysis of liver tissue supports and extends the hepatocyte findings. Strikingly, the administration of the pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase (PDK) inhibitor dichloroacetate reverses dysregulated hepatocyte metabolism and mitochondrial dysfunction. In summary, our data indicate that sepsis promotes hepatic metabolic dysfunction and that targeting the mitochondrial PDC/PDK energy homeostat rebalances transcriptional and metabolic manifestations of sepsis within the liver.

Most of the traditional gene selection approaches are borrowed from other fields such as statistics and computer science, However, they do not prioritize biologically relevant genes since the ultimate goal is to determine features that optimize model performance metrics not to build a biologically meaningful model. Therefore, there is an imminent need for new computational tools that integrate the biological knowledge about the data in the process of gene selection and machine learning. Integrative gene selection enables incorporation of biological domain knowledge from external biological resources. In this study, we propose a new computational approach named CogNet that is an integrative gene selection tool that exploits biological knowledge for grouping the genes for the computational modeling tasks of ranking and classification. In CogNet, the pathfindR serves as the biological grouping tool to allow the main algorithm to rank active-subnetwork-oriented KEGG pathway enrichment analysis results to build a biologically relevant model. CogNet provides a list of significant KEGG pathways that can classify the data with a very high accuracy. The list also provides the genes belonging to these pathways that are differentially expressed that are used as features in the classification problem. The list facilitates deep analysis and better interpretability of the role of KEGG pathways in classification of the data thus better establishing the biological relevance of these differentially expressed genes. Even though the main aim of our study is not to improve the accuracy of any existing tool, the performance of the CogNet outperforms a similar approach called maTE while obtaining similar performance compared to other similar tools including SVM-RCE. CogNet was tested on 13 gene expression datasets concerning a variety of diseases.
