American Folk Music as Tactical Media
Authors: Svec Henry Adam
Published: May 2021

American folk music has long presented a problematic conception of authenticity, but the reality of the folk scene, and its relationship to media, is far more complicated. This book draws on the fields of media archaeology, performance studies, and sound studies to explore the various modes of communication that can be uncovered from the long American folk revival. From Alan Lomax's cybernetic visions to Bob Dylan's noisy writing machines, this book retrieves a subterranean discourse on the concept of media that might help us to reimagine the potential of the networks in which we work, play, and sing.
Cities in Asia by and for the People

Published: May 2021

This book examines the active role of urban citizens in constructing alternative urban spaces as tangible resistance towards capitalist production of urban spaces that continue to encroach various neighborhoods, lanes, commons, public land and other spaces of community life and livelihoods. The collection of narratives presented here brings together research from ten different Asian cities and re-theorises the city from the perspective of ordinary people facing moments of crisis, contestations, and cooperative quests to create alternative spaces to those being produced under prevailing urban processes. The chapters accent the exercise of human agency through daily practices in the production of urban space and the intention is not one of creating a romantic or utopian vision of what a city "by and for the people" ought to be. Rather, it is to place people in the centre as mediators of city-making with discontents about current conditions and desires for a better life.
Chivalry, Reading, and Women's Culture in Early Modern Spain
Authors: Triplette Stacey
Published: May 2021

The Iberian chivalric romance has long been thought of as an archaic, masculine genre and its popularity as an aberration in European literary history. Chivalry, Reading, and Women’s Culture in Early Modern Spain contests this view, arguing that the surprisingly egalitarian gender politics of Spain’s most famous romance of chivalry has guaranteed it a long afterlife. Amadís de Gaula had a notorious appeal for female audiences, and the early modern authors who borrowed from it varied in their reactions to its large cast of literate female characters. Don Quixote and other works that situate women as readers carry the influence of Amadís forward into the modern novel. When early modern authors read chivalric romance, they also read gender, harnessing the female characters of the source text to a variety of political and aesthetic purposes.
Kingship and Polity on the Himalayan Borderland
Authors: Moran Arik , Schendel Willem , Harris Tina
Published: May 2021

Kingship and Polity on the Himalayan Borderland explores the modern transformation of state and society in the Indian Himalaya. Centred on three Rajput led-kingdoms during the transition to British rule (c. 1790-1840) and their interconnected histories, it demonstrates how border making practices engendered a modern reading of ‘tradition’ that informs communal identities to this day. Countering the common depiction of these states as all-male, caste-exclusive entities, it reveals the strong familial base of Rajput polity, wherein women — and regent queens in particular — played a key role alongside numerous non-Rajput groups. Drawing on rich archival records, rarely examined local histories, and nearly two decades of ethnographic research, it offers an alternative to the popular and scholarly discourses that developed with the rise of colonial knowledge. The analysis exposes the cardinal contribution of borderland spaces to the fabrication of group identities. This book will interest historians and anthropologists of South Asia and of the Himalaya, as well as scholars working on postcolonialism, gender, and historiography.
America's Encounters with Southeast Asia, 1800-1900
Authors: Noor Farish A.
Published: May 2021

A century before the Philippines came under American control, Americans were already travelling to Southeast Asia regularly. This book looks at the writings of American diplomats, adventurers, and scientists and chronicles how nineteenth-century Americans viewed and imagined Southeast Asia through their own cultural-political lenses. It argues that as Americans came to visit the region they also brought with them a train of cultural assumptions and biases that contributed to the development of American Orientalism in Southeast Asia.
The Intellectual Dynamism of the High Middle Ages

The essays in The Intellectual Dynamism of the High Middle Ages pay tribute to the work and impact of Constant J. Mews, in spirit and in content, revealing a nuanced and integrated vision of the intellectual history of the medieval West. Mews's groundbreaking work has revealed the wide world of medieval letters: looking beyond the cathedral and the cloister for his investigations, and taking a broad view of intellectual practice in the Middle Ages, Mews has demanded that we expand our horizons as we explore the history of ideas. Alongside his cutting-edge work on Abelard, he has been a leader in the study of medieval women writers, paying heed to Hildegard and Heloise in particular. In Mews' Middle Ages, the world of ideas always belongs to a larger world: one that is cultural, gendered, and politicized.
Star Wars and the History of Transmedia Storytelling

Star Wars has reached more than three generations of casual and hardcore fans alike, and as a result many of the producers of franchised Star Wars texts (films, television, comics, novels, games, and more) over the past four decades have been fans-turned-creators. Yet despite its dominant cultural and industrial positions, Star Wars has rarely been the topic of sustained critical work. Star Wars and the History of Transmedia Storytelling offers a corrective to this oversight by curating essays from a wide range of interdisciplinary scholars in order to bring Star Wars and its transmedia narratives more fully into the fold of media and cultural studies. The collection places Star Wars at the center of those studies’ projects by examining video games, novels and novelizations, comics, advertising practices, television shows, franchising models, aesthetic and economic decisions, fandom and cultural responses, and other aspects of Star Wars and its world-building in their multiple contexts of production, distribution, and reception. In emphasizing that Star Wars is both a media franchise and a transmedia storyworld, Star Wars and the History of Transmedia Storytelling demonstrates the ways in which transmedia storytelling and the industrial logic of media franchising have developed in concert over the past four decades, as multinational corporations have become the central means for subsidizing, profiting from, and selling modes of immersive storyworlds to global audiences. By taking this dual approach, the book focuses on the interconnected nature of corporate production, fan consumption, and transmedia world-building. As such, this collection grapples with the historical, cultural, aesthetic, and political-economic implications of the relationship between media franchising and transmedia storytelling as they are seen at work in the world’s most profitable transmedia franchise.

The Wadden Sea Region is comprised of the embanked coastal marshes and islands in the Wadden Sea near Denmark, Germany, and the Netherlands. This area retains an exceptional common history in all its aspects: archaeologically, economically, socially, and culturally. Its settlement history of more than two thousand years is unrivalled and still mirrored in the landscape. Even though it has never constituted a political unity, it still shares a landscape and cultural heritage. For example, the approaches to water management and associated societal organization developed in the region during the last millennium have set significant world standards. This book offers an overview of current research on history, landscape and cultural heritage of the Wadden Sea region.
Pope Benedict XII (1334-1342)
Authors: Bueno Irene , Bombi Barbara , Carr Mike , Parent Sylvain , Piron Sylvain , Theis Valerie , Trottmann Christian
Published: May 2021

This book offers a unique overview on the career and work on Benedict XII, the third pope of Avignon. Benedict XII (ca. 1334-1342) was a key figure of the Avignon papal court, renowned for rooting out heretics and distinguishing himself as a refined theologian. During his reign, he faced the most significant religious and political challenges in the era of the Avignon papacy: theological quarrels, divisions and schisms within the Church, conflicts between European sovereigns, and the growth of Turkish power in the East. In spite of its diminished political influence, the papacy, which had recently moved to France, emerged as an institution committed to the defense and expansion of the Catholic faith in Europe and the East. Benedict made significant contributions to the definition of doctrine, the assessment of pontifical power in Western Europe, and the expansion of Catholicism in the East: in all these different contexts he distinguished himself as a true guardian of orthodoxy.
The Celestine Monks of France, c. 1350-1450
Authors: Shaw Robert L.J.
Published: May 2021

The Celestine monks of France represent one of the least studied monastic reform movements of the late Middle Ages, and yet also one of the most culturally impactful. Their order - an austere Italian Benedictine reform of the late thirteenth century, which came be known after the papal name of their founder, Celestine V (St Peter of Murrone) - arrived in France in 1300. After a period of marginal growth, they flourished in the region from the mid-fourteenth century, founding thirteen new houses over the next hundred years, taking their total to seventeen by 1450. Not only did the French Celestines expand, they gained a distinctive character that separated them from their Italian brothers. More urban, better connected with both aristocratic and bourgeois society, and yet still rigorous and reformist, they characterised themselves as the 'Observant' wing of their order, having gained self-government for their provincial congregation in 1380 following the arrival of the Great Western Schism (1378-1417). But, as Robert L.J. Shaw argues, their importance runs beyond monastic reform: the late medieval French Celestines are a mirror of the political, intellectual, and Christian reform culture of their age. Within a France torn by war and a Church divided by schism, the French Celestines represented hope for renewal, influencing royal presentation, lay religion, and some of the leading French intellectuals of the period, including Jean Gerson.
Mysteries of Cinema
Authors: Martin Adrian
Published: May 2021

The major essays of the distinguished and prolific Australian-born film critic Adrian Martin have long been difficult to access, so this anthology, which collects highlights of his work in one volume, will be welcomed throughout film studies. Martin offers indepth analysis of many genres of films while providing a broad understanding of the history of cinema and the history of film criticism and culture. These vibrant, highly personal essays, written between 1982 and 2016, balance breadth across cinema theory with almost encyclopedic detail, ranging between aesthetics, cinephilia, film genre, criticism, philosophy, and cultural politics. Mysteries of Cinema circumscribes a special cultural period that began with the dream of critique as a form of poetic writing, and today arrives at collaborative experiments in audiovisual essays. Throughout these essays, Martin pursues a particular vision of what cinema has been, what it is, and what it still could be.

We are running out of water, robots will take our jobs, we are eating ourselves to an early death, old age pension and health systems are bankrupting governments, and an immigration crisis is unravelling the European integration project. A growing number of nightmares, perfect storms, and global catastrophes create fear of the future. One response is technocratic optimism — we’ll invent our way out of these impending crises. Or we’ll simply ignore them as politically too hot to handle, too uncomfortable for experts — denied until crisis hits. History is littered with late lessons from early warnings. Cynicism is an excuse for inaction. Populism flourishes in the depths of despair. Despite the gloom, there is another way to look at the future. We don’t have to be pessimistic or optimistic — we can find realistic hope. This book is written by an international and influential collection of future shapers. It is aimed at anyone who is interested in learning to refresh the present, forge new common ground, and redesign the future.
For this Relief, Much Thanks ...
Authors: Mattelaer Johan , Connerty Ian
Published: May 2021

Even though peeing is something we all do several times a day, it is still a taboo subject. From an early age, we are taught to master our urinary urges and to use decent words for this most necessary physiological activity. This paradox has not gone unnoticed by artists through the ages.

For this Relief, Much Thanks! Peeing in Art is a journey through time and space, stopping along the way to look at many different art forms. The reader-viewer will see how peeing figures - men and women, young and old, human and angelic - have been depicted over the centuries. You will be amazed to discover how often, even in famous works of art, you can find a man quietly peeing in a corner or a putto who is 'irrigating' some grassy field. A detail you will never have seen before, but one that you will never forget when confronted with those same art works in future!

Artists have portrayed pee-ers in a variety of different ways and for a variety of different reasons: serious, frivolous, humorous, to make a protest, to make a statement... Whatever their purpose, these works of art always intrigue, not least because of their secret messages and symbolic references, which sometimes can only be unravelled by an expert - like the author of this book. The extensive background information about the artists and their work also gives interesting insights into the often complex origins of the different art forms. In short, a fascinating voyage of discovery awaits you!
Zest for Opera!
Authors: Pype Patrick
Published: May 2021

Opera is food for the soul. At its best, opera can hold up a mirror to society. Opera invites us to approach rational thinking from a different perspective. It puts the notions of body, mind and soul in a totally different, more organic and humanist constellation. Patrick Pype's conviction in relation to this potential has offered him decisive insights into how to act in business. For him, the protagonists in the operas of Mozart, Verdi, Wagner, Janacek = are inspiring models of leadership. Their behaviour helps him to empower us to become more empathic, lucid, fair and inspirational leaders.

Illusions of Democracy: Malaysian Politics and People offers an up-to-date and broad analysis of the contemporary state of Malaysian politics and society. Transcending disciplinary boundaries, it offers a look at Malaysian politics not only through the lens of political science but also anthropology, cultural studies, international relations, political economy and legal studies touching on both overlooked topics in Malaysian political life as well as the emerging trends which will shape Malaysia’s future. Covering silat martial arts, Malaysia’s constitutional identity, emergency legislation, the South China Sea dilemma, ISIS discourse, zakat payment, the fallout from the 1MDB scandal and Malaysia’s green movement, Illusions of Democracy charts the complex and multi-faceted nature of political life in a semi-authoritarian state, breaking down the illusions which keep it functioning, to uncover the mechanisms which really underlie the paradoxical longevity of Malaysia’s political, economic and social system.
Leeuwenhoek's Legatees and Beijerinck's Beneficiaries
Authors: Doornum Gerard , Helvoort Ton , Sankaran Neeraja
Published: May 2021

Leeuwenhoek’s Legatees and Beijerinck’s Beneficiaries: A History of Medical Virology in The Netherlands offers a tour of the history of Dutch medical virology. Beginning with the discovery of the first virus by Martinus Beijerinck in 1898, the authors investigate the reception and redefinition of his concept in medical circles and its implications for medical practice. The relatively slow progress of these areas in the first half of the twentieth century and their explosive growth in the wake of molecular techniques are examined. The surveillance and control of virus diseases in the field of public health is treated in depth, as are tumour virus research and the important Dutch contributions to technical developments instrumental in advancing virology worldwide. Particular attention is paid to oft forgotten virus research in the former Dutch colonies in the East and West Indies and Africa.
The Life of Texts
Authors: Brillenburg Wurth Kiene , Rigney Ann
Published: May 2021

This innovative introduction to literary studies takes 'the life of texts' as its overarching frame. It provides a conceptual and methodological toolbox for analysing novels, poems, and all sorts of other texts as they circulate in oral, print, and digital form. It shows how texts inspire each other, and how stories migrate across media. It explains why literature has been interpreted in different ways across time. Finally, it asks why some texts fascinate people so much that they are reproduced and passed on to others in the form of new editions, in adaptations to film and theatre, and, last but not least, in the ways we look at the world and act out our lives.

The Life of Texts is designed around particular issues rather than the history of the discipline as such. Each chapter concentrates on a different aspect of 'the life of texts' and introduces the key debates and concepts relevant to its study. The issues discussed range from aesthetics and narrative to intertextuality and intermediality, from reading practices to hermeneutics and semiotics, popular culture to literary canonisation, postcolonial criticism to cultural memory. Key concepts and schools in the field have been highlighted in the text and then collected in a glossary for ease of reference. All chapters are richly illustrated with examples from different language areas.

Skateboarding and Urban Landscapes in Asia
Authors: McDuie-Ra Duncan
Published: May 2021

As urban development in Asia has accelerated, cities in the region have become central to skateboarding culture, livelihoods, and consumption. Asia's urban landscapes are desired for their endless supply of 'spots'. Spots are not built for skateboarding; they are accidents of urban planning and commercial activity; glitches in the urban machine. Skateboarders and filmers chase these spots to make skate video, skateboarding's primary cultural artefact. Once captured, skate video circulates rapidly through digital platforms to millions of viewers, enrolling spots from Shenzhen to Ramallah into an alternative cartography of Asia. This book explores this way of desiring and consuming urban Asia, and the implications for relational and comparative hierarchies of urban development.
Wellbeing Economics
Authors: Pouw Nicky
Published: May 2021

Amidst rising global inequality, migration, climate change, health pandemics, and deepening poverty, it is time to redirect our economy towards more sustainable and socially just processes and outcomes.

In 'Wellbeing Economics' Nicky Pouw puts forward a new framework that places human wellbeing at the centre, instead of economic growth. She postulates ten reasons why economics should change to remain a relevant discipline and develops a Wellbeing Economic Matrix (WEM) to implement this approach. In doing so, it is one of the first economics books that 'rethinks the economy' from head to tail.
Dutch Post-war Fiction Film through a Lens of Psychoanalysis
Authors: Verstraten Peter
Published: May 2021

Dutch Post-war Fiction Film through a Lens of Psychoanalysis is a sequel to Humour and Irony in Dutch Post-war Fiction Film (AUP, 2016), but the two studies can be read separately. Because of the sheer variety of Fons Rademakers’ oeuvre, which spans ‘art’ cinema and cult, genre film and historical epics, each chapter will start with one of his titles to introduce a key concept from psychoanalysis. It is an oft-voiced claim that Dutch cinema strongly adheres to realism, but this idea is put into perspective by using psychoanalytic theories on desire and fantasy. In the vein of cinephilia, this study brings together canonical titles (Als twee druppels water; Soldaat van Oranje) and little gems (Monsieur Hawarden; Kracht). It juxtaposes among others Gluckauf and De vliegende Hollander (on father figures); Flanagan and Spoorloos (on rabbles and heroes); De aanslag and Leedvermaak (on historical traumas); and Antonia and Bluebird (on aphanisis).
Borderland Infrastructures
Authors: Rippa Alessandro , Schendel Willem , Harris Tina
Published: May 2021

Across the Chinese borderlands, investments in large-scale transnational infrastructure such as roads and special economic zones have increased exponentially over the past two decades. Based on long-term ethnographic research, Borderland Infrastructures addresses a major contradiction at the heart of this fast-paced development: small-scale traders have lost their historic strategic advantages under the growth of massive Chinese state investment and are now struggling to keep their businesses afloat. Concurrently, local ethnic minorities have become the target of radical resettlement projects, securitization, and tourism initiatives, and have in many cases grown increasingly dependent on state subsidies. At the juncture of anthropological explorations of the state, border studies, and research on transnational trade and infrastructure development, Borderland Infrastructures provides new analytical tools to understand how state power is experienced, mediated, and enacted in Xinjiang and Yunnan. In the process, Rippa offers a rich and nuanced ethnography of life across China’s peripheries.
Syntax of Hungarian
Authors: É. Kiss Katalin , Hegedus Veronika
Published: May 2021

The Syntax of Hungarian aims to present a synthesis of the currently available syntactic knowledge of the Hungarian language, rooted in theory but providing highly detailed descriptions, and intended to be of use to researchers as well as advanced students of language and linguistics. As research in language leads to extensive changes in our understanding and representations of grammar, the Comprehensive Grammar Resources series intends to present the most current understanding of grammar and syntax as completely as possible in a way that will both speak to modern linguists and serve as a resource for the non-specialist.
A liberal narrative
Authors: Wells Tamas
Published: May 2021

This chapter unpacks a liberal narrative of democracy. It grounds and
locates the ways that many aid workers in Myanmar understood and
communicated about democracy. The chapter outlines three elements
of this narrative. First, most international aid workers involved in the
research pointed toward the challenge of ethnic and religious divisions
in the country. These aid workers described how divisions in Myanmar
were perpetuated by a personalised political culture where formal institutions
of democracy were insufficiently embedded. Second, aid agency
representatives often expressed a vision of a formal procedure-based
democracy supported by liberal values of human rights, pluralism and
the protection of minorities. This vision also had a future orientation,
where proponents of this narrative saw Myanmar’s democratisation as
being set within the context of other transitional countries around the
world – moving away from traditional systems toward a democratic future.
Third, many aid workers emphasised a strategy of government and civil
society capacity building led by international aid agencies.

Erotic Comics in Japan
Authors: Galbraith Patrick , Bauwens-Sugimoto Jessica , Nagayama Kaoru ,   Chikuma Shobo
Published: May 2021

Comics and cartoons from Japan, or manga and anime, are an increasingly common feature of visual and popular culture around the world. While it is often observed that these media forms appeal to broad and diverse demographics, including many adults, eroticism continues to unsettle critics and has even triggered legal action in some jurisdictions. It is more urgent than ever to engage in productive discussion, which begins with being informed about content that is still scarcely understood outside small industry and fan circles. Erotic Comics in Japan: An Introduction to Eromanga is the most comprehensive introduction in English to erotic comics in Japan, or eromanga. Divided into three parts, it provides a history of eroticism in Japanese comics and cartoons generally leading to the emergence of eromanga specifically, an overview of seven themes running across works with close analysis of outstanding examples and a window onto ongoing debates surrounding regulation and freedom of expression in Japan.
Finance and the Common Good
Authors: Beuningen Cor , Buitendijk Kees
Published: May 2021

Over the past fifty years, (financial) capitalism has brought about an enormous growth in wealth. Millions around the world have been lifted out of poverty. However, the downsides of the present global economic constitution are rapidly becoming evident as well. Rising inequality, soaring debt levels, and repeated cycles of boom and bust have proven to be some of its key characteristics. After the 2008 crisis brought the financial system to the brink of collapse, new regulations, stricter supervision, higher capital requirements, and ethical codes were introduced to the sector. Today we find ourselves in the middle of another economic boom. Yet one pressing question remains: has anything changed? Have the (necessary) repairs fixed the flaws in the system? Or do we require even more fundamental reforms?

This volume builds on the observation that society has co-evolved with the financial sector. We cannot simply claim that 'finance' was the sole instigator of the 2008 crisis. Society itself has become financialized; the process of replacing relations, structures of trust and reciprocity, by anonymous and systemic transactions. The volume poses vital questions with regard to this societal development. How did this happen? And more importantly: is change possible? If yes, how?

This volume contains 21 essays on the themes mentioned above. Authors include Jan Peter Balkenende, Wouter Bos, Lans Bovenberg, Govert Buijs, and Herman Van Rompuy. A recommendation by Dutch Minister of Finance Wopke Hoekstra is also included.
Seeing the City
Authors: Verloo Nanke , Bertolini Luca ,   Instituut voor Interdisciplinaire Studies
Published: May 2021

The city is a complex object. Some researchers look at its shape, others at its people, animals, ecology, policy, infrastructures, buildings, history, art, or technical networks. Some researchers analyse processes of in- or exclusion, gentrification, or social mobility; others biological evolution, traffic flows, or spatial development. Many combine these topics or add still more topics beyond this list. Some projects cross the boundaries of research and practice and engage in action research, while others pursue knowledge for the sake of curiosity. This volume embraces this variety of perspectives and provides an essential collection of methodologies for studying the city from multiple, interdisciplinary, and transdisciplinary perspectives. We start by recognizing that the complexity of the urban environment cannot be understood from a single vantage point. We therefore offer multiple methodologies in order to gather and analyse data about the city, and provide ways to connect and integrate these approaches.

The contributors form a talented network of urban scholars and practitioners at the forefront of their fields. They offer hands-on methodological techniques and skills for data collection and analysis. Furthermore, they reveal honest and insightful reflections from behind the scenes. All methodologies are illustrated with examples drawn from the authors own research applying them in the city of Amsterdam. In this way, the volume also offers a rich collection of Amsterdam-based research and outcomes that may inform local urban practitioners and policy makers.

Altogether, the volume offers indispensable tools for and aims to educate a new generation of interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary-minded urban scholars and practitioners.

Examining women’s agency in the past has taken on new urgency in the current moment of resurgent patriarchy, Women’s Marches, and the global #MeToo movement. The essays in this collection consider women’s agency in the Renaissance and early modern period, an era that also saw both increasing patriarchal constraints and new forms of women’s actions and activism. They address a capacious set of questions about how women, from their teenage years through older adulthood, asserted agency through social practices, speech acts, legal disputes, writing, viewing and exchanging images, travel, and community building. Despite family and social pressures, the actions of girls and women could shape their lives and challenge male-dominated institutions. This volume includes thirteen essays by scholars from various disciplines, which analyze people, texts, objects, and images from many different parts of Europe, as well as things and people that crossed the Atlantic and the Pacific.
UTILIZAÇÃO DE TÉCNICAS ESPECTROSCÓPICAS NO ESTUDO DE NANOCOMPÓSITOS À BASE DE PRÓPOLIS DE ABELHA SEM FERRÃO E NANOARGILA PARA O DESENVOLVIMENTO DE NANOMATERIAIS AVANÇADOS
Authors: Brito Ana Beatriz Sanches , Campana Patricia Targon , Francoy Tiago Mauricio , Tozoni José Roberto
Published: May 2021

Introdução: Na literatura, há evidências de que a própolis produzida por abelhas nativas sem ferrão apresenta uma notável concentração de cumarinas e flavonóides, que apresentam ações imunomoduladoras que as permitem atuar sobre inflamações e infecções. Devido a estas atividades, podemos desenvolver um nanocompósito a partir de própolis e de nanoargilas, que são silicatos com uma estrutura tubular, onde substâncias podem ser inseridas e liberadas de forma controlada. Tendo isso em vista, estudamos as cumarinas e flavonóides presentes na própolis da abelha nativa Melipona quadrifasciata quadrifasciata (Mqq) em estado sólido e em solução, e conjugada com nanoargila haloisita (HNT) para desenvolvimento de nanomateriais avançados, realizando a variação do pH dos compósitos. Materiais e Métodos: A extração da própolis em foi feita em etanol 70% e a conjugação foi realizada com 1 ml de extrato etanólico de própolis (EEP) para 10 mg de nanoargila (NTH) e, após descanso, houve lavagem, e reservou-se o conjugado (EEP-NTH). As técnicas espectroscópicas utilizadas foram as espectroscopias de fluorescência e de reflectância por esfera integradora. Resultados Parciais: O EEP-NTH passou por varredura na esfera integradora nos comprimentos de 700 nm a 200 nm, e mostrou bandas nas regiões de 300 e 400 nm. Os espectros de fluorescência do EEP para flavonóides foram emitidos em 427, 468 e 487 e 525 nm. Já os espectros de fluorescência para cumarinas foram emitidos em 420, 468, 490 e 510 nm. Conclusão: As bandas de absorção do conjugado mostraram-se congruentes com os dados da literatura, indicando ligação da própolis na nanoargila. Os espectros de emissão para flavonóides não são citados na literatura e, das emissões para cumarinas, apenas 420 e 468 nm são confirmadas. Serão necessárias novas análises para estudar os comprimentos de onda que foram encontrados, e novos experimentos para realizar a variação do ambiente físico-químico para resultados finais.

Published: May 2021

La crisis sanitaria provocada por la pandemia de la COVID-19 ha revolucionado la forma de docencia en todos los niveles. Por tal motivo, el objetivo de este trabajo es analizar y evaluar una experiencia de capacitación docente tecnopedagógica para afrontar los retos de la educación a distancia. Para ello se utilizó un estudio de corte cuantitativo-exploratorio, de tipo longitudinal (precurso-poscurso), de alcance descriptivo, a partir de una muestra de 337 docentes de bachillerato, quienes participaron en un curso de capacitación bajo el modelo TPACK (technological pedagogical content knowledge). Los resultados demostraron una habilitación docente en lo tecnopedagógico respecto al diagnóstico; sin embargo, la competencia de evaluación en línea mostró menor desempeño. Se detectó una actitud proactiva para el uso de la tecnología en la docencia. Como sugerencia se propone que los programas de capacitación docente integren temáticas socioemocionales para afrontar con empatía las necesidades del estudiante, así como el uso variado de estrategias para el trabajo en línea.

Introduction: Wood is susceptible to be used as a carbon source by fungal species damaging the wood. Its durability has been categorized according to its weight loss, without taking into account the decrease in the inherent physicochemical and mechanical properties. Objective: To evaluate how how weight loss affects the physicochemical and mechanical properties of Pinus pseudostrobus Lindl. wood exposed to brown-rot fungi Gloeophyllum trabeum (Pers.) Murrill. Materials and methods: Sawn timber pieces of P. pseudostrobus were inoculated with 50 mL of G. trabeum (106 UFC∙mL-1). Periodically (zero, three, six and nine months) and with the help of a universal testing machine, parallel compression (PC), static bending (SB) and perpendicular compression to the grain (CPG) were evaluated, and holocellulose, cellulose and lignin were quantified. Results and discussion: After nine months of interaction with G. trabeum, the pieces of wood were resistant to degradation, taking into account only weight loss. However, the chemical-mechanical properties evaluated showed that the fungus produced thinning and rupture of the tissue cells causing significant decrease in SB (100 to 56 N∙mm-2) and CPG (42.2 to 20.2 N∙mm-2), which reduced its resistance to mechanical stress. Conclusions: Wood exposed to fungal degradation is significantly affected in its mechanical properties, disqualifying it for construction. The damage is not reflected in the aesthetics of the material, which is surprising, since the common user of pine wood would not be able to notice the problem.

Efek adanya Covid-19 saat ini mengurangi sumber pendapatan masyarakat. Sumber penyakit ini berasal dari Wuhan, China kemudian menjalar keseluruh dunia tanpa terkecuali di Indonesia. Seiring berkembangnya kasus pandemi Covid-19 banyak pencari kerja yang tidak lagi berladang di sawah tapi berladang digunung, seperti menanam jagung. Kondisi pegunungan yang telah di gundul dan beralih fungsi menjadi lahan jagung tersebut diduga menjadi pemicu terjadinya banjir di Kabupaten Bima pada tahun 2021. Banjir tersebut memberikan dampak di berbagai desa dan roda perekonomian di Kabupaten Bima turut melemah serta melumpuhkan sistem perniagaan maupun aktivitas masyarakat. Masyarakat hanya bisa pasrah pada keadaan sembari menunggu bantuan yang akan datang. Sehingga Inilah yang dapat menimbulkan rasa kepedulian sosial serta menggerakan hati civitas akademik seperti dosen dan mahasiswa STIE Bima serta pengurus ataupun relawan PMI Kabupaten/Kota Bima untuk turut berkontribusi dan membantu masyarakat dengan memberikan kebutuhan yang dibutuhkan masyarakat, mencari donatur dan lain sebagainya. Oleh karena itu, tujuan kegiatan pengabdian ini adalah untuk membantu masyarakat yang terkena banjir dengan harapan dapat meringankan beban masyarakat. Metode yang dilakukan yaitu studi pendahuluan, persiapan, pendistribusian, dan membuat laporan kegiatan. Kegiatan kepedulian sosial terhadap masyarakat terdampak banjir di Kabupaten Bima ini didukung penuh oleh perwakilan dari civitas akademik seperti dosen dan mahasiswa STIE Bima, dimana bentuk kegiatannya yaitu pembagian 900 bungkus, 21 air minum dalam kemasan, pakaian layak pakai, serta penyaluran tenaga kerja untuk membersihkan fasilitas umum, bantuan medis, penyedotan sumur warga yang terdampak banjir, hingga pendistribusian air bersih oleh pengurus ataupun relawan PMI Kabupaten/Kota Bima. Harapan kedepannya kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat berupa kepedulian sosial ini selanjutnya yaitu dengan mempeluas objek yang akan diberikan berupa bantuan sosial maupun kesehatan dengan pemerintah setempat sehingga diperoleh pemerataan yang lebih meluas.
