Ապասրբայնացում եզրույթի իմաստաբանությունը / Semantics of the Term “Desacralization”
Authors: Khachatryan Lalik , Mirumyan Margush
Published: September 2024

The term 'desacralization' has entered linguistics from religious
philosophy. As is known, over time, words can lose their 'sacred' meaning and
undergo 'desacralization,' becoming common nouns. This phenomenon in
language manifests in various ways: it can involve the loss of meaning,
'wearing out' of the word, exiting the mythological system, etc.
a) As a result of the loss of meaning, the content of the lexical unit
expands. In such cases, sacred words and phrases begin to function as
interjections and forms of address. For example, the word 'God' has acquired
desacralized meanings in the following constructions: “Lord God,” (Heavenly
Father) “for God's sake,” “God be with us (with you),” “God knows,” “God
forbid,” etc.
b) A change in society's views on the mythological system or the
gradual disintegration of the mythological system can become a factor in
desacralization.
Basically, Greek mythical names underwent desacralization. They
acquired different meanings as a result of a change in meaning and are no
longer associated with their etymological meaning in modern perception.
Among such words are morphine, uranium, sealant, panic, atlas, ether,
hyacinth, zephyr, volcano etc.
On the whole, desacralization becomes a factor in the semantic change,
expansion of the meaning of the word.
Sofrimento e produtividade: uma correlação entre telefonistas e motofretistas
Authors: Miranda Antônio César Camargo
Published: September 2024

O presente artigo apresenta através de preceitos fundamentais da psicopatologia do trabalho, como a exploração do sofrimento de trabalhadores pode gerar produtividade. Para isso, metodologicamente recorremos a uma revisão de literatura de alguns dos teóricos desta corrente de estudos, descrevendo os casos de telefonistas francesas estudadas por eles. Em seguida abordaremos também através de algumas pesquisas como é a atividade de motofretistas brasileiros que trabalham por meio de plataformas digitais. Como ambas as atividades são realizadas, controladas e o que os estudos têm encontrado como impactos na saúde desses profissionais serão demonstrados para então apontar uma possível correlação entre eles. Isso se torna plausível com trabalhadores tão distintos, em países e temporalidades diferentes, por meio da identificação de como a organização do trabalho atua sobre eles e torna-se responsável por induzir ao sofrimento que se transforma em produtividade. Tal exploração se dá por meio de um equilíbrio entre a necessidade de emprego e renda – conceituado como “disciplina da fome” – e a expectativa gerada pela empresa/plataforma na concessão de benefícios e remunerações.
Impact of the Ukraine-Russia Conflict on the Stability of Energy Geopolitics in Southeast Asia
Authors: Prabowo Tri Bagus , Sihaloho Rezya Agnesica Helena
Published: September 2024

The conflict between Ukraine and Russia holds significant implications for global energy stability, particularly impacting the Southeast Asia region. This conflict has led to a rise in global oil prices, which indirectly affects Southeast Asia. This paper aims to elucidate and analyze how the Ukraine-Russia conflict influences energy stability in Southeast Asian countries. Utilizing a qualitative methodology, this research adopts a descriptive-analytic approach, thereby allowing for a detailed exploration of the conflict's impact on the region's energy stability. Findings reveal that the European Union's longstanding dependence on Russian gas deeply entwines with ASEAN's efforts to leverage energy trade to sustain economic stability, subsequently influencing various derivative sectors. The conflict has undeniably affected the energy supply and demand dynamics, necessitating a shift towards more transparent policies on alternative energy sources. Despite not experiencing direct disruptions in the supply chain or immediate spikes in energy costs, the ripple effects of the conflict have led to an inevitable rise in fuel prices within ASEAN, thus affecting the economic and political landscapes of Southeast Asia.

Authors: Benard Ifeanyi. Odoh , Charity Nkiru Nwokeabia , Ifeanyi Peter Ezealaji,
Published: September 2024

The landscape of Rivers State, South South, Nigeria, has been undergoing significant transformations over the past years, driven by various socio-economic and environmental factors. Monitoring these changes is crucial for sustainable development and resource management. This study focuses on analyzing the temporal variations in land use and land cover (LULC) from 2017 to 2023, along with evaluating slope variations using Digital Elevation Model (DEM) data. The primary aim of this study is to understand the spatial-temporal dynamics of LULC and slope variations in the study area, providing insights into landscape transformations and their implications for sustainable development. The study utilizes DEM data and satellite imagery to perform a detailed analysis of slope variations and LULC changes over the specified period. The slope data is categorized into five distinct classes, while the LULC analysis identifies changes in categories such as water bodies, tree cover, flooded vegetation, cropland, built-up areas, bare ground, and rangeland. The slope analysis reveals that the majority of the study area has low to moderate slopes, with the largest area (599.58 km²) falling within the 1.76 to 3.13 degrees range. LULC analysis shows a significant decrease in tree cover from 1189.98 km² in 2017 to 1030.59 km² in 2023, a substantial increase in built-up areas from 271.40 km² to 346.22 km², and a notable rise in cropland from 51.06 km² to 103.27 km². Water bodies increased from 23.91 km² to 28.48 km², while flooded vegetation slightly decreased from 98.90 km² to 88.45 km². Bare ground significantly decreased from 5.64 km² to 0.43 km², indicating successful land rehabilitation efforts. Rangeland also increased from 48.56 km² to 91.95 km². The predominance of gentle slopes in the study area facilitates diverse land use practices, particularly agriculture and urban development. However, the expansion of built-up areas and the decrease in tree cover suggest ongoing deforestation and urban sprawl, necessitating effective land use planning and conservation strategies. The increase in cropland reflects agricultural intensification, while the significant reduction in bare ground highlights successful land restoration efforts. The study provides a comprehensive understanding of the topographic and LULC dynamics in Rivers State, underscoring the need for integrated land management approaches. The findings emphasize the importance of balancing development with environmental conservation to ensure sustainable use of resources. This study offers a detailed temporal analysis of LULC and slope variations in Rivers State, providing valuable insights into landscape dynamics and their implications for sustainable development. The use of DEM data for slope analysis combined with LULC monitoring over six years provides a robust framework for understanding environmental changes and informing policy decisions.

Supernova effects on middle and upper atmospheric nitric oxide and stratospheric ozone
Authors: Siskind David E. , Jones Jr. McArthur , Reep Jeffrey W.
Published: September 2024

Abstract. We provide a quantitative test of the recent suggestion (Brunton et al., 2023) that supernovae could significantly disrupt planetary ozone layers through a multi-month flux of soft X-rays that produce ozone-destroying odd nitrogen (e.g. NO and NO2). Since soft X-rays do not directly penetrate down to the ozone layer, this effect would be indirect and require downward transport of NOx from the mesosphere. Mirroring previous studies of the indirect effects of energetic particle precipitation (EPP-IE), we call this the X-ray Indirect Effect (Xray-IE). We use the NCAR Thermosphere-Ionosphere-Mesosphere-Electrodynamics General Circulation Model (TIME-GCM) to simulate the production of NO and its transport into the stratosphere. We model the soft X-ray flux as if it were a multi-month long solar flare and use our previously developed solar flare model to simulate the soft X-ray enhancement. Our results yield significant enhancement in stratospheric odd nitrogen, most dramatically in the Southern Hemisphere. The most global effects are seen in the upper stratosphere at pressure surfaces between 1–3 hPa (about 42–48 km) consistent with previous observations of the EPP-IE. We then use a detailed stratospheric photochemistry model to quantify the effects of this NOx enhancement on ozone. Widespread ozone reductions of 8–15 % are indicated; however, because these are limited to the upper edges of the ozone layer, the effects on the ozone column are limited to 1–2 %. We thus conclude that the effects of a multi-month X-ray event on biologically damaging UV radiation at the surface is also likely to be small.

Published: September 2024

Our study aimed to investigate the sphenoid spine morphological characterization, as well as the distances to important surgical points and its relation to foramen spinosum localization. On a total of 65 skulls, the distances of the sphenoid spine to various surgically important anatomical landmarks were measured from both the right and left sides. The length of the sphenoid spine was measured and classified morphologically. Localization of the foramen spinosum relation to the sphenoid spine was evaluated. The sphenoid spine length was statistically different which was found to be 6.71±1.97 and 6.14±1.93 on the right and left sides, respectively (p=0.027). The most commonly encountered shape of the sphenoid spine on both sides was quadrangular, followed by spine shape. The foramen spinosum was most frequently located anteromedially and least frequently located anterolaterally in relation to the sphenoid spine. In our study, it was determined that the localization of the foramen spinosum is associated with the shape of the sphenoid spine, on both the right (p=0.012) and left (p=0.016) sides. Our study provides morphometric data on the sphenoid spine and reports the association between the localization of the foramen spinosum and the type of sphenoid spine.

Indonesia dikenal sebagai negara dengan kekayaan sumber daya yang melimpah, terutama sumber daya alamnya, yang sampai sekarang mampu memberikan banyak manfaat bagi manusia dalam pemenuhan berbagai kebutuhan, termasuk kebutuhan ekonomi. Sumber daya terbagi menjadi dua yaitu sumber daya manusia dan sumber daya alam. Kedua sumber daya ini saling terkait. Manusia bergantung pada sumber daya alam untuk kebutuhan keberlangsungan hidupnya, dan sumber daya alam membutuhkan manusia dalam pengelolaan dan pemanfaatannya. Penelitian ini akan mengukur tingkat keberlanjutan program pengelolaan energi berbasis biogas yang dilakukan oleh PT Pertamina Hulu Rokan WK Rokan – Wilayah Operasi Minas Siak di Desa Mukti Sari, Provinsi Riau. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah participatory rural appraisal (PRA). Proses pengukuran keberlanjutan program dilakukan menggunakan mix-methods penggabungan antara kualitatif dan kuantitatif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa program biogas memiliki dampak positif yang signifikan terhadap ekonomi rumah tangga dan kemandirian energi di masyarakat. Masyarakat sangat yakin akan manfaat biogas dalam menghemat bahan bakar fosil, mengurangi biaya rumah tangga, dan menciptakan peluang usaha baru. Meskipun demikian, terdapat kekhawatiran terkait distribusi biogas ke rumah tangga yang membutuhkan dan kualitas instalasi sistem biogas yang ada. Secara keseluruhan, keberlanjutan dimensi ekonomi dari program biogas sangat positif dengan nilai rata-rata dan indeks yang tinggi pada setiap indikator. Penggunaan biogas menawarkan berbagai keuntungan dari penghematan biaya hingga penciptaan peluang usaha baru, yang mendukung kesejahteraan ekonomi masyarakat. Dalam konteks lingkungan, program energi biogas juga menunjukkan hasil yang sangat positif. Masyarakat melihat biogas sebagai teknologi yang bersih, tidak menimbulkan bau, tidak mencemari kualitas air, dan bermanfaat untuk pertanian melalui penggunaan bioslurry. Tingginya nilai rata-rata dan indeks pada setiap indikator menunjukkan bahwa biogas memberikan manfaat lingkungan yang signifikan. Keberlanjutan dimensi kelembagaan program biogas juga menunjukkan bahwa dukungan masyarakat yang kuat sangat penting untuk memastikan kesuksesan jangka panjang program ini. Dengan fokus pada peningkatan distribusi dan kualitas instalasi, program biogas dapat menjadi solusi yang lebih komprehensif untuk ketahanan energi dan masalah lingkungan di tingkat komunitas
El Taller de Investigaciones Teatrales (TIT) de Buenos Aires. Encuentros y desencuentros entre experimentación y militancia
Authors: La Rocca Malena
Published: September 2024

Este artículo analiza los modos de hacer arte y política en tiempos de violencia de Estado en Argentina. Se focaliza en la práctica artística y en las formas de organización del Taller de Investigaciones Teatrales (TIT) fundado en 1977 por un artista escénico provocador, Juan Carlos Uviedo, e integrado por militantes juveniles del Partido Socialista de los Trabajadores (PST), quienes, después del encarcelamiento de su mentor, coordinaron el grupo hasta 1982. Los vínculos del TIT con el PST eran bastante sui generis, ya que sus prácticas partidarias eran semiclandestinas, debido a la ilegalización del partido en 1976. A partir de la contextualización de las nociones de experimentación artística y militancia, este trabajo, por un lado, reconstruye la poética experimental del TIT y el método de trabajo legado por Uviedo y, por el otro, traza vínculos con otras iniciativas culturales y artísticas del PST y del trotskismo que reivindicaron “la libertad de creación” y la transformación socialista. Esta investigación esboza una prolífica trama de experiencias que antecedieron a la última dictadura militar y se extendieron durante la misma, que permiten reflexionar en torno a ciertas continuidades y transformaciones estéticas, organizativas y programáticas de las prácticas artístico-políticas, así como también identificar sus coyunturas y tácticas específicas.
Investigaciones escénicas para la transformación social en Córdoba y Latinoamérica en los 70: metodologías estético-políticas situadas en el entre
Authors: Fobbio Laura
Published: September 2024

En este artículo abordamos metodologías de grupos de jóvenes artistas que, atravesados por el Cordobazo, se encontraron en proyectos creativo-políticos comunes y formaron parte del “nuevo teatro cordobés” (Minero, 1996; Musitano, 2017a; 2017b), que se consolidó en la ciudad de Córdoba en la década del 70 y cuyas prácticas podrían definirse como “teatro militante” (Verzero, 2013).
Esos grupos se entramaron en espacios corales en los que debatían, investigaban y componían desde el compromiso con la realidad del pueblo, con lo que consideraban popular, en un trabajo sostenido para generar una transformación social. En esas prácticas es posible reconocer modos de crear, habitar y pensar los territorios a partir de metodologías estético-políticas situadas en el entre, donde se tornaron porosos los bordes entre creación y política, lo singular y lo colectivo-comunitario, la teoría y la práctica, la forma y el contenido, el teatro y las teatralidades, el arte y la vida.
Esas propuestas del nuevo teatro cordobés se expandieron, en Argentina y en Latinoamérica, en el marco de indagaciones documentales, giras, festivales, intervenciones comunitarias realizadas antes y durante el exilio de les artistas debido a la última dictadura militar en su país.
