Background:

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a global health problem with the potential to cause dangerous neurological problems. Based on histopathological findings in Sprague Dawley (SD) rats with TBI in the acute phase, the study seeks to discover the effect of Centella asiatica, cinnamon, and spirulina as neuroprotective.

Methods:

We conducted an experimental study with 30 SD rats randomly divided into three groups. The intervention was the administration of C. asiatica, cinnamon, and spirulina to the control and the experimental groups. Histological features were assessed using hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining and immunohistochemical examination. The data were analyzed using statistical analysis through correlation tests.

Results:

The test samples’ average body weights had P > 0.05, indicating no significant difference in the test sample body weights. Therefore, the variations in the expression level of the dependent variable were expected to be caused by the induction of brain injury and the administration of C. asiatica, cinnamon, and spirulina. In addition, the variables were not normally distributed. Thus, the Spearman test was carried out and showed the correlation was very strong, with a value of r = 0.818 and P < 0.05.

Conclusion:

Based on histopathological findings from the brains of SD rats with TBI, pegagan, cinnamon, and spirulina will protect the brain (neuroprotective) in the acute phase.

Под воздействием лазерных импульсов возможны значительные изменения микроструктуры поверхностных слоев материалов, в частности под облученной поверхностью может наблюдаться протяженный дислокационный слой. При этом предлагаются различные механизмы образования дислокаций в данном случае. Очевидно, что более полное понимание первопричин возникновения дислокаций является актуальной задачей и ее решение может найти свое практической применение. Сложность прямых наблюдений изучаемых процессов не позволяет проводить всестороннее исследование, поэтому в данном случае с успехом применяются численные эксперименты с применением методом компьютерного моделирования. В данной работе представлены результаты моделирования структурных изменений, возникающих при имитации воздействия на поверхность кристалла железа лазерных импульсов с различной плотностью энергии, и сопровождающихся образованием дислокаций. В основе модели лежит приближение, которое предполагает, что воздействие лазера приводит лишь к нагреву облученного материала. Для проведения исследования применялся метод молекулярной динамики с использованием потенциала межчастичного взаимодействия, рассчитанного в рамках метода погруженного атома. В ходе моделирования в расчетной ячейке возникала межфазная граница, которая является источником механических напряжений. Ее особенностью является наличие кривизны поверхности, приводящей к неравномерности распределения напряжений. Высказывается предположение, что именно благодаря этому создаются необходимые условия для образования дислокаций. В работе визуализирован процесс зарождения и последующего роста дислокаций, а также дислокационная реакция. Выполнены оценки изменения длины дислокаций при различных вариациях начальных условий и параметров моделирования. Возможно, результаты исследования найдут свое применение при описании процессов, протекающих при высокоэнергетическом воздействии на твердое тело.
Enantioselective total synthesis of lycoposerramine W through late-stage nitrogen deletion
Authors: Yokoi Kenta , Renata Hans
Published: June 2024

A concise total synthesis of lycoposerramine W was accomplished in 10 steps (longest linear sequence) through the union of two fully elaborated piperidine and tetrahydroquinoline fragments, which were prepared by remote biocatalytic C–H oxidation and metal-catalyzed oxidative annulation, respectively. Several C–C bond forming reactions were surveyed for the key fragment coupling, which ultimately identified a nitrogen deletion strategy as the only feasible solution to the problem. This work highlights the benefits of incorporating modern synthetic methodologies in streamlining access to complex molecules.
Computational screening for clathrates among predicted crystal structures
Authors: Nyman Jonas , Day Graeme M. , Ahlström Peter
Published: June 2024

We present a computational study of gas adsorption in a large set of predicted porous organic molecular crystal structures. A large number of computer-generated porous crystal structures of o- and m-fluorophenol, resorcinol and triptycene trisbenzimidazolone were screened for their ability to adsorb xenon, carbon dioxide and methane, and thereby form clathrates. The thermo- dynamic driving force for gas adsorption was calculated with rigid-body lattice dynamics and grand canonical Monte Carlo simulations, using an accurate anisotropic force field with elec- trostatic multipoles. The results suggest that the studied com- pounds may form several clathrate structures at mild temper- atures and pressures, which may facilitate carbon capture or separation of gases by molecular sieving.
Guiding the rational design of biocompatible metal-organic frameworks for drug delivery using machine learning
Authors: Menon Dhruv , Fairen-Jimenez David
Published: June 2024

In drug delivery, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have emerged as an interesting paradigm owing to their tuneable porosity, structural diversity, and ease of external surface functionalization. Compared to other drug delivery systems, state-of-the-art MOFs can encapsulate up to 50 times higher quantities of drugs per unit of mass while showing very long release times. Nevertheless, for their translation into clinical applications, concerns regarding MOF biocompatibility necessitate comprehensive mitigation. Unfortunately, experiments are resource and time-intensive, while modeling approaches fail to capture the behavior of MOFs in intricate biological systems. Herein, we report a novel computational pipeline guided by machine learning (ML) for probing the biocompatibility of MOFs. The pipeline is designed to expedite the assessment of potential MOF toxicity based on the chemical properties of their precursors. Interpretable ML models were built on a database of over 35,000 organic molecules, predicting the potential toxicity of MOF linkers with 83% accuracy. Additionally, we established a comprehensive database cataloging the toxicity of MOF metallic centers. Leveraging these, we have screened the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD) containing 86,000 non-disordered MOFs, identifying existing and future promising candidates with minimal toxicity profiles for drug delivery applications. Beyond high-throughput screening, the developed models shed light on the chemical landscape associated with high biocompatibility precursor molecules, enabling the derivation of guidelines for the rational design of biocompatible MOFs. This framework thus expedites the identification of biocompatible materials, while facilitating deeper insights into their underlying chemistry.

Published: June 2024

Vinylidene Fluoride (VDF)-based polymers are renowned for their remarkable electroactive properties, including piezoelectric, pyroelectric, and ferroelectric features. These properties make them highly sought-after in a wide range of applications, such as sensors and energy storage. The modulation of their dielectric characteristics is intricately linked to the crystalline polymorphism, which is contingent upon specific processing conditions. Herein, we delve into the potential for enhancing these dielectric functionalities through modifications of the processing conditions (i.e., solvent casting and evaporation rate). Our findings demonstrate that superior structural characteristics and enhanced dielectric properties are achieved when casting from highly polar solvents followed by vacuum annealing. This simple and efficient method, eliminates the need for extensive processing and excessive energy consumption and it holds promise for streamlining industrial processing on a larger scale by reducing duration, energy, and complexity.

Background: Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) carbonic anhydrases (CAs) are critical enzymes that regulate pH by converting CO2 to HCO3-, essential for Mtb's survival in acidic environments. Inhibiting γ-CAs presents a potential target for novel antituberculosis drugs with unique mechanisms of action. Objective: This study aimed to explore the biological connections underlying Mtb pathogenesis and investigate the mechanistic actions of antituberculosis compounds targeting the Cas9 protein. Methods: We employed homology modeling and virtual screening to identify compounds with high binding affinities for Cas9 protein. This study used the homology modeling approach employing high-quality AlphaFold DB models for γ-CA. Furthermore, the systems biology approach was used for analyzing the mechanistic modeling of compounds, integrating data on genes, pathways, phenotypes, and molecular descriptors. Single-cell RNA sequencing was also conducted to profile gene expression. Results: Three compounds, F10921405, F08060425, and F14437079, potentially binding to Cas9 protein, have been identified. F10921405 and F08060425 showed significant overlap in their effects on pathways related to the immune response, while F14437079 displayed distinct mechanistic pathways. Expression profiling revealed high levels of genes such as PDE4D, ROCK2, ITK, MAPK10, and SYK in response to F1092-1405 and F0806-0425, and MMP2 and CALCRL in response to F1443-7079. These genes, which play a role in immune modulation and lung tissue integrity, are essential to fight against Mtb. Conclusion: The molecular relationship and pathways linked to the mentioned compounds give the study a holistic perspective of targeting Mtb, which is essential in designing specific therapeutic approaches. Subsequent research will involve experimental validation to demonstrate the efficacy of the promising candidates in Mtb infections.

Published: June 2024

The increased demand for the synthesis of enriched hybridized Csp3 motifs and the urgency of discovering new drug molecules require the development of more efficient technologies and synthetic tools to accelerate drug discovery processes. Herein, we report a fully automated strategy for the addition of Csp3 enriched building blocks onto olefins via Giese addition to forge Csp3-Csp3 bonds. The developed fully automated protocol allowed the conversion of aldehydes (non-redox-active species) in-situ to electroactive imidazolidines and to employ them as precursors of C-centered radicals under photoredox catalyzed conditions for the synthesis of enriched fraction sp3 (Fsp3) character building blocks and bioactive compound libraries.
« DÉCARTOGRAPHIER » LA PROBATION
Authors: Lefebvre Gabriel
Published: June 2024

Dans le cadre de la série de conférences Droit et Préjugés, nous avons choisi de « décartographier » les clauses de probation imposées à un délinquant autiste Asperger dans l’affaire R. v. Hanssen afin de relever les présomptions (ou préjugés) qui accablent le sujet de droit neurodivergent; plus précisément la capacité qu’on prête au sujet de droit responsable à se disjoindre des déterminismes psycho-sociaux qui composent sa réalité vécue et à se déterminer, seul, par la seule force de sa Raison et de sa Volonté. En mettant en son centre la responsabilisation autonome du délinquant neurodivergent plutôt que ses besoins et sa vulnérabilité, la probation renforce le préjugé voulant qu’il n’en tient qu’au délinquant de se reprendre en main et que le bris répété de la loi n’est qu’une question de « mauvaise » volonté de sa part. Le projet de droit libéral – l’individu libre gouverné par la loi – apparaîtra à la suite de notre exégèse comme étant davantage un projet d’exclusion systématique de la myriade de déviations possibles de cette construction de l’Homme raisonnable; le projet de gouvernance par la loi en est un fait exclusivement à sa mesure.
Grâce au recours à de nouveaux outils théoriques (la loi comme Carte de Boaventura de Sousa Santos, l’imaginaire social de Charles Taylor, le Chronotope de Mariana Valverde), nous allons pouvoir faire ressortir les formes d’oppression latentes et cachées qui accablent les personnes atteintes de troubles mentaux lorsqu’on leur impose une ordonnance de probation. Décartographier la carte-probation (à partir de ses éléments-caractéristiques, nommément son échelle, sa projection et sa légende) nous permettra de questionner le rôle de l’institution pénale dans la gestion de la sécurité et de nous demander s’il est possible d’imaginer des pratiques probatoires moins sévères et préjudiciables pour les délinquants socialement vulnérables.

The Impact of Social Media on Business Performance of Women Entrepreneurs and their Empowerment: A Mixed Methods Study in the Context of Sri Lanka
Authors: De Silva Thilini , Hansson Henrik
Published: June 2024

The impact of social media on business performance of women entrepreneurs and their empowerment is examined in this research. Focusing on Sri Lanka, two research questions are addressed: (1) How are social media platforms empowering women entrepreneurs in Sri Lanka today, and (2) How can the use of social media be improved to support women entrepreneurs in Sri Lanka? A mixed-methods approach was used, with a survey (157 responses) and an online focus group (5 respondents)  discussion. The statistical findings showed that business performance of women entrepreneurs mediates the relationship between use of social media and women’s empowerment. Qualitative analysis revealed that the use of social media transforms mindsets, facilitates knowledge sharing, provides motivation, supports business operations, promotes gender-neutral branding, and enables networking for women entrepreneurs in Sri Lanka to enhance the performance of their businesses, leading to empowerment. To enhance support, social media platforms should prioritize motivation, targeted networking, professional courses, and robust security measures.

THE LIFE WAY OF ABDULLA QAHHOR
Authors: Kholmuminova Shahzoda Lazizjonovna
Published: June 2024

Abdulla Qahhor, a renowned Uzbek writer, was a prominent figure in the literary circle of Central Asia during the early 20th century. Born on September 14, 1899, in the ancient city of Bukhara, Uzbekistan, Qahhor's life was marked by a tumultuous era of political upheaval, social transformation, and cultural evolution. Through his remarkable literary works, Qahhor not only reflected changing times but also left an indelible mark on the literary landscape of Uzbekistan. Growing up in a traditional family, Qahhor was exposed to the Islamic education system, which laid the foundation for his future literary pursuits. His early fascination with literature was nurtured by his father, a respected scholar and teacher, who instilled in him a deep appreciation for classical Arabic and Persian literature. This early exposure to the rich cultural heritage of Central Asia had a profound impact on Qahhor's writing style, which would later come to be characterized by its unique blend of traditional and modern elements.
WORKPLACE QUALITY OF LIFE THROUGH SPIRITUALLY-ORIENTED ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE
Authors: Enes Randes de Faria , Costa Stella R. Reis da , Durães Ricardo Silva Santos
Published: June 2024

Objective: This study aims to investigate the attributes of organizational people management in order to demonstrate the impact of spiritualized organizational culture on quality of life in the work environment.
 
Theoretical Framework: This section presents the main concepts that underlie organizational culture, quality of life, and spirituality, with authors such as Schein, Ashmos, and Duchon, among others, who present the dimensions of analysis for these factors.
 
Method: The methodology adopted for this exploratory research involves the analysis of data from the PROGEP/FIA survey on the best companies to work for regarding the factors, characteristics, and dimensions attributed to spirituality and considered relevant to quality of life at work. The literature review aimed to identify the instruments being used and the results found in articles published in the last decade.
 
Results and Discussion: The main grouped results demonstrate that the terms evaluated are in line with the precepts of spirituality. Studies show that this type of analysis has been gradually used and increasingly valued, regardless of the segment or size of the company. However, it is known that there is no single standard of behavior or specific attributes of spirituality to be applied in any company. The review allowed us to identify that different methodologies present similar trends and can be used as guidelines for the creation and consolidation of a spiritualized organizational culture. All these elements can also be identified as important for classifying quality of life at work.
 
Research Implications: The practical and theoretical implications of this research are discussed, providing insights into how the results can be applied or influence practices in the field of people management. The literature review of publications on the best companies to work for (PROGEP - FIA, 2014), assessment tools for well-being at work associated with spirituality in organizations (Siqueira, 2014), reports of practices to enhance quality of life, as in Pinheiro, Froehlich & Konrath, K. (2019); Formiga et al. (2019) and Ferreira et al. (2022),]. These implications may include different segments and sizes of companies. This preliminary study, however, involved 383 companies in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and hygiene sectors, both national and multinational, located in the State of São Paulo, Brazil.
 
Originality/Value: This study contributes to the literature by presenting clear attributes that indicate how to improve people's quality of life and the working environment, regardless of the profile of the employees or the size of the company. The relevance and value of this research is evidenced by metrics that consolidate how to create a spiritualized organizational culture, based on values such as ethics and justice and applied through support for cultural and social diversity.

Authors: Ghazaleh Mohamad Abu , Abdallah Salam
Published: June 2024

This research aims to explore the transformation of e-commerce adoption in the industrial sector, identifying barriers to success and opportunities for growth and innovation. Utilizing the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), we conducted a comprehensive literature review to assess factors influencing e-commerce adoption, focusing on perceived usefulness and ease of use. The research methodology includes a detailed analysis of expert insights and existing literature, targeting the industrial sector's unique challenges. Key factors such as customer service, product selection, and payment options were evaluated for their impact on e-commerce implementation. The study's findings reveal that, despite the potential benefits of increased efficiency, productivity, and profitability, industrial e-commerce faces higher project failure rates compared to retail. This discrepancy highlights the need for tailored strategies to enhance adoption rates within the industrial domain. The research also acknowledges limitations due to the scarcity of specific literature and the focus on only two variables in the conceptual model. Ultimately, this paper provides valuable recommendations for policymakers and business leaders aiming to leverage industrial e-commerce for organizational growth.

Los carteles de la Junta de Defensa de Madrid. Seis meses de propaganda en una ciudad sitiada
Authors: Bilbao Salsidua Mikel
Published: June 2024

Resumen
Desde que en julio de 1936 estallara la Guerra Civil, Madrid adquirió un notable protagonismo simbólico. Por un lado, como capital del estado, ostentó el rol de bastión del gobierno electo de la Segunda República y, por otro, se convirtió en ansiado objetivo del bando sublevado. El 6 de noviembre de ese mismo año, coincidiendo con el traslado del gobierno de la República a Valencia, se creó la Junta de Defensa de Madrid. Hasta su autodisolución el 23 de abril de 1937, este organismo presidido por el general Miaja se encargó de la defensa de la ciudad y ejerció una notable labor propagandística utilizando diferentes soportes y medios. El presente artículo se centra en el estudio de los carteles que la Junta de Defensa de Madrid editó durante los escasos seis meses en los que estuvo activa, otorgando una especial relevancia a sus creadores, a los temas que abordaron y a los recursos de los que se valieron para ello.
Abstract
Since the outbreak of the Civil War in July 1936, Madrid acquired a notable symbolic role. On the one hand, as the capital of the State, it held the role of bastion of the elected government of the Second Republic and, on the other, it became a desired objective of the rebellious side. The Madrid Defense Board was created on November 6, 1936, coinciding with the transfer of the government of the Republic to Valencia. Until its self-dissolution on April 23, 1937, this organization chaired by General Miaja was in charge of the defense of the city and carried out notable propaganda work using different supports and media. This article focuses on the study of the posters that the MDB published during the six months in which it was active, giving special relevance to its creators, the topics they addressed and the resources they used for it.

Resumen
Durante las últimas décadas, se ha recuperado el interés por las incisiones y dibujos de los muros carcelarios aragoneses realizados por sus malavenidos huéspedes. El artículo parte de las relaciones entre estos trazos y los garabatos marginales de los libros, tomando como referencia la propuesta de Gombrich acerca de esta singular creación automática que frecuentemente se encuentra motivada por un estado de aburrimiento. En semejante trance afloran todo tipo de imágenes y expresiones, entre ellas, recuerdos del lugar de origen, fiestas populares, motivos espirituales o simples elementos repetitivos que propician la focalización del pensamiento y, en consecuencia, la evasión; como se expone a través de los testimonios inéditos de tres localidades.
Abstract
During the last decades, the interest in the incisions and drawings on the Aragonese prison walls have recovered the interest made by their unfortunate guests. The article starts from the relationship between these traces and the marginal scribbles in books, taking as a reference Gombrich’s proposal about this singular automatic creation that is frequently motivated by a state of boredom. In such a trance, all kinds of images and expressions emerge, including memories of the place of origin, popular festivals, spiritual motifs or simple repetitive elements that favour the focusing of thought and, consequently, evasion, as is shown through unpublished testimonies from three localities.

Entre la permanencia y la temporalidad. Campos, urbanidad y tiempo
Authors: Canet Juana , Garrido Ginés , Gómez Alejandro
Published: June 2024

Los textos que forman este número de ZARCH se sitúan en el campo de la especulación crítica, pero también se inscriben en un ámbito más práctico y estudian ejemplos que visualizan de modo concreto las transferencias entre la temporalidad y la permanencia de las condiciones urbanas contemporáneas. Lo hacen desde puntos de vista vinculados a la arquitectura o el urbanismo, y también desde las artes plásticas. El conjunto construye un panorama amplio y poliédrico.
El tiempo en el imaginario urbano. Conversación con Rahul Mehrotra
Authors: Canet Juana , Daroca Jaime , Mayoral José , Sierra José Ramón
Published: June 2024

Rahul Mehrotra se encuentra de permiso sabático de sus actividades académicas en el Departamento de Planificación y Diseño Urbanos que dirige en la Graduate School of Design (GSD) de Harvard, donde ha enseñado durante años. Se encuentra en Bombay, su ciudad natal, donde fundó RMA Architects en 1990. Moviéndose entre Bombay y Boston, Mehrotra ha construido un discurso muy definido que se ha materializado en una vasta colección de publicaciones, estudios y trabajos de investigación —todos ellos expuestos en la XVIII Bienal de Venecia de 2023—, y proyectos arquitectónicos, la mayoría desarrollados en la India. Este punto de vista ambiguo y binario entre la práctica profesional en la India y la práctica académica en Estados Unidos, entre el diseño urbano y la arquitectura, entre lo grande y lo pequeño, entre la acción política, que reivindica como "activista", y la reflexión sobre las condiciones de habitabilidad humanas e inhumanas, fue el punto de partida para la concepción de este número de ZARCH y también, de alguna manera, dirige esta conversación. Mehrotra articula un torrente de ideas a veces sofisticadas, otras veces aparentemente evidentes, pero siempre inspiradoras y transgresoras, que revitalizan nuestra visión del mundo y sacuden nuestros prejuicios.

Más allá de la ‘manualística’: El complejo estatuto ontológico del refugi(ad)o en los campos cuando lo temporal se vuelve permanente
Authors: Canteiro Neto Maria de Fátima , Goycoolea Prado Roberto
Published: June 2024

La institucionalización del desplazamiento humano consolidada con la creación del Alto Comisionado de las Naciones Unidas para los Refugiados en 1951 ha demostrado ser efectiva en situaciones de emergencia. Sin embargo, ha tenido el efecto imprevisto de prolongar situaciones que se concebían y programaban como temporales. Este fenómeno ha suscitado dudas sobre la verdadera naturaleza de la acción humanitaria, generando limitaciones y dilemas en los espacios de refugio, especialmente en los campos, que están vinculados a una perspectiva normativa que reduce la vida y la práctica de la arquitectura a simples indicadores instrumentales. La dependencia física y legal de los refugiados de las circunstancias y decisiones de los Estados receptores plantea un desafío fundamental que lleva a considerar la discusión sobre el refugiado y, por extensión, sobre el refugio, como problemas ontológicos. Desde esta perspectiva, se plantea críticamente que la evolución del concepto de los espacios de acogida, como expresión física de una política tecnológica concretada en manuales, configura una experiencia y gestión de las personas refugiadas que diluye su estatus ontológico. Esta situación surge como resultado directo de la institucionalización del refugio y la consiguiente subordinación física y jurídica de los refugiados a decisiones externas. Este cuestionamiento ontológico del refugiado subraya la necesidad de reconsiderar la arquitectura y la planificación de los espacios de refugio.
Olvidos de Nueva York. Temporalidad y memoria en los espacios heterotópicos del tejido urbano
Authors: Fernández Posadas Javier
Published: June 2024

A lo largo del siglo XIX, el Plan de los Comisionados de 1811 y las fuerzas emergentes de la modernidad establecieron en Nueva York las bases para lo que podría denominarse una “permanente temporalidad” de la ciudad, situándola como un escenario idóneo para explorar la relación entre la memoria y el espacio. Esta cualidad, que posiciona al cambio y a la “cultura de la congestión” como constantes del tejido urbano de la metrópolis, proporciona lecciones para el desarrollo de las ciudades del siglo XXI. A través del concepto de heterotopía de Michel Foucault, podemos entender las urbes, no solo como escenarios de transformaciones físicas y temporales, sino como conjuntos de “otros espacios” que existen en paralelo, desafiando y complementando las narrativas de permanencia a lo largo del tiempo.
Siguiendo también las teorías urbanas de Henri Lefebvre, Richard Sennett, Susan Fainstein, o Rem Koolhaas, este artículo examina el papel de algunos espacios heterotópicos de Nueva York que, llenos de capas y significados, redefinen nuestra percepción sobre la estabilidad y la temporalidad del contexto urbano. Las intersecciones entre el espacio real y el heterotópico, revelan así “olvidos” superados por el devenir histórico, subrayando la importancia de considerar estos espacios para negociar el papel de la memoria en la planificación y el desarrollo urbano futuro.
Does Gender Define Access to Microcredit? Evidence from India
Authors: Rehman A.
Published: June 2024

The aim of this research is to examine the influence of gender on the accessibility of microcredit for small and informal business owners in Nagaland, India. In addition, the study conducts a region-wise comparative analysis of the loans disbursed to self-help groups (SHGs) by banks. Using primary data obtained from a cohort of 205 small business proprietors within the state, the study used the methods of descriptive statistics and econometric analysis. Furthermore, the paper employed the logit model to examine key factors such as firm size, SHGs and the qualifications of the entrepreneurs, along with gender. The secondary data, obtained from the Centre for Monitoring Indian Economy and the National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development, allow the study to conduct a comparative analysis using the percentage share approach. The results reveal that public sector banks disbursed the highest amount of loans to SHGs, and the comparative analysis indicates that SHGs in the North-Eastern Region of India have the lowest share of savings with banks. Based on the empirical analysis, the author concluded that firm size, financial services provided through SHGs, educational qualifications, and gender of small business owners play a significant role in the accessibility of microcredit from financial institutions.

A escuta sensível de adolescentes atravessada por uma perspectiva docente no programa pode falar (UNICEF)
Authors: Santos José Arthur da Silva , Ferreira Hugo Monteiro
Published: June 2024

O Programa Pode Falar surge como um espaço virtual de apoio à saúde mental e ao bem-estar de adolescentes e jovens de 13 a 24 anos. Espaço esse, onde suas demandas são escutadas de forma anônima e gratuita. O atendimento inicia com uma triagem automatizada, a depender da complexidade de sua demanda, os adolescentes e jovens, são direcionados para um atendimento humano. Em meio a uma pesquisa mais ampla feita junto aos atendentes do programa, este presente recorte tem como objetivo apresentar as principais queixas desses adolescentes. Os caminhos metodológicos abraçam a abordagem qualitativa, perpassando a revisão de literatura; culminando em dois trajetos de captura da realidade estudada: (1) pesquisa participante e memórias de vida do autor; (2) assim como entrevistas semi-estruturadas com três atendentes do programa, que também são docentes. O quadro teórico apoia-se na teia de saberes proveniente das obras de Renè Barbier, Carl Rogers e Paulo Freire. A partir das análises das entrevistas, foi possível identificar as causas com maior incidência nas demandas dos adolescentes, em relação ao desconforto para com seu bem-estar: (1) a falta de escuta no ambiente familiar e (2) o fato de algumas escolas não se constituírem em ambientes acolhedores.
Devler Arasında Bir Gezinti: Ovid, Kafka, Auden ve Bruegel’de “Cezalandırma” üzerine karşılaştırmalı bir araştırma
Authors: Oruç Derya
Published: June 2024

Dönüşüm kavramını hikayelerinde birleştirici bir unsur olarak kullanan Ovid’in “Metamorphoses”’ı kimlik, ölümsüzlük, şiddet, cezalandırma, ödüllendirme ve erdem gibi birçok sayıda temayı inceler. Yaygın motiflerinden biri olan cezalandırma, Daedalus ve Icarus efsanesinde babasının tavsiyesini dinlemeyen oğulun bir trajedi ile karşı karşıya kalma örneklemesi ile bilhassa dikkat çeker. Bununla birlikte, Franz Kafka’nın The Metamorphosis’ında gezici satış temsilciliği yapan Gregor Samsa’nın bir haşarata dönüşmesi, W.H. Auden’ın “Musee des Beaux Arts”’da kayıtsızlık ve cezalandırma motifinin ön plana çıkması ve son olarak da Pieter Bruegel’in Landscape with the Fall of Icarus tablosunda tepkisizliğin bir cezalandırma olarak tasvir edilmesi, Daedalus ve Icarus hikayesindeki dönüşüm ve cezalandırma motiflerinden esinlenildiğine işaret eder. Bu makale’nin amacı Ovid’in “Metamorphoses”’ında yaygın olarak görülen cezalandırma motifini Franz Kafka’nın The Metamorphosis kısa romanında, W.H. Auden’ın “Musee des Beaux Arts” şiirinde ve Pieter Bruegel’in Landscape with the Fall of Icarus tablosunda incelerken, Kafka’nın The Metamorphosis ve Auden’ın “Musee des Beaux Arts” adlı eserlerindeki başkahramanların davranışsal özelliklerini analiz ederek Sigmund Freud’un kazaların aslında olmadığını addeden “kazalar” teorisinin cezalandırma motifi ile arasındaki bağlantıyı ortaya çıkarmaktır.
