Preserving the German Identity and Language in Romania after 1918. Cultural Associations. The present paper explores some cultural sociological aspects of the economic, leisure-related and professional associations of the German minority living in Romania at the time of the Weimar Republic (1918-1933), in the context of the social-political transformations and the development of the modern, interwar Romanian society. Although German associations existed in the now Romanian territories before 1918 as well, many new associations were founded and the activity of the already existing ones flourished during the interwar period. The associations are analysed in respect to the regions in which the Germans of Romania lived (Transylvania, Banat, Bukovina, the Romanian Old Kingdom and Bessarabia), the type of association, their objectives, publications and activities. The establishment of so many associations at the time of the Weimar Republic and their intense activities reveals, on one hand, the endeavours of the German minority to preserve its language and identity, and on the other hand, the freedom that the German community enjoyed – in other words, quite a liberal cultural politics of the Greater Romania. The associations were a part of the development of a socio-cultural field which granted the Germans a special place in Romania’s cultural history.
REZUMAT. Păstrarea identităţii şi limbii germane ȋn România Mare. Asociaţii culturale. Prezenta lucrare își propune să trateze câteva aspecte socio-culturale ale asociațiilor economice, de timp liber și profesionale ale minorității germane ce trăia în România Mare în timpul Republicii de la Weimar (1918-1933), pe fundalul transformărilor socio-politice și al dezvoltării societății românești moderne. Cu toate că și înainte de 1918 existau asociații ale germanilor în teritoriile din care s-a constituit România Mare, perioada interbelică a reprezentat o perioadă înfloritoare pentru înființarea de noi societăți sau intensificarea activității celor deja existente. Analiza este realizată din mai multe perspective: a regiunii în care trăia minoritatea germană (Transilvania, Banat, Bucovina, Vechiul Regat și Basarabia), tipul de asociație, obiectivele, publicațiile și activitățile desfășurate. Înființarea a numeroase asociații în timpul Republicii de la Weimar și activitatea lor intensă relevă pe de o parte strădaniile minorității germane să promoveze limba și identitatea germană, și pe de altă parte libertatea de care se bucura aceasta – cu alte cuvinte, o politică culturală relativ liberală a României Mari. Fenomenul de asociere a reprezentat o parte integrală a dezvoltării unui câmp socio-cultural care a conferit germanilor un loc aparte în istoria culturală a României.
Cuvinte-cheie: asociații, germanii din România, România Mare, Republica de la Weimar, limbă și identitate germane

Una revisión crítica del concepto “Estado terrorista”
Authors: Jemio Ana Sofía
Published: September 2021

En 1983, cuando la última dictadura militar argentina estaba terminando, Eduardo Luis Duhalde acuñó el concepto “Estado terrorista” para caracterizar al nuevo modelo represivo creado la dictadura. Este concepto (y su término emparentado “terrorismo de Estado”) trascendió los años y las fronteras: hoy es un vocablo central en las disputas por el sentido del pasado reciente. Estas disputas han opacado el debate sobre la utilidad del término como herramienta teórico-metodológica. A más de 30 años de su creación, ¿qué potencialidades y límites tiene el concepto para caracterizar las formas de la violencia estatal en la última dictadura militar? Este artículo busca responder esta pregunta reseñando los principales elementos del debate actual sobre las formas de periodizar y caracterizar la violencia estatal en la segunda mitad del siglo XX. Luego, se reseñan las principales críticas formuladas al concepto “Estado terrorista” y, atendiendo a ellas, se propone una relectura del término.

Modal Characterization of Sandwich Skew Plates
Authors: Kumar Dhotre Pavan , Srinivasa Chikkol V.
Published: September 2021

The current work focuses on the experimental and finite element free vibration studies of laminated composite sandwich skew plates. The comparison was made between the experimental values obtained by the Fast Fourier transform (FFT) analyzer and a finite element solution obtained from CQUAD8 finite element of The MacNeal-Schwendler Corporation (MSC) / NASA STRucture Analysis (NASTRAN) software. The influence of parameters such as aspect ratio (AR) (a/b), skew angle (α), edge condition, laminate stacking sequence, and fiber orientation angle (θ°) on the natural frequencies of sandwich skew plates was studied. The values obtained by both the finite element and experiment approaches are in good agreement. The natural frequencies increase with an increase in the skew angle for all given ARs.
Neuropathy - Exponent of Accelerated Involution in Uremia: The Role of Carbamylation
Authors: Lazarevic Tatjana , Kovacevic Zoran
Published: September 2021

Premature loss of functional integrity of the nervous system in chronic renal failure (CRF) as a consequence of persistent biological activities of the general uremic milieu is almost identical to its structural and functional involution during the process of physiological ageing, but disproportionate and independent of chronological age. In the hyperuremic status of CRF (urea - carbamide), forced carbamylation, as a non-enzymatic post-translational modification (NEPTM) of proteins and amino acids, by changing their biological properties and decreasing proteolysis capacity, represents pathogenetic potential of intensified molecular ageing and accelerated, pathological involution. Physiological predisposition and the exposure of neuropathy before complications of other organs and organ systems in CRF, due to the simultaneous and mutually pathogenetically related uremic lesion and the tissue and vascular segment of the nervous system, direct interest towards proteomic analytical techniques of quantification of carbamylated products as biomarkers of uremic neurotoxicity. Hypothetically, identical to the already established applications of other NEPTM products in practice, they have the potential of clinical methodology in the evaluation of uremic neuropathy and its contribution to the general prediction, but also to the change of the conventional CRF classification. In addition, the identification and therapeutic control of the substrate of accelerated involution, responsible for the amplification of not only neurological but also general degenerative processes in CRF, is attractive in the context of the well-known attitude towards aging.

Authors: Sari Mutiara Nindya , Agdelina Clarissa , Bahri Darlene , Permata Nadya Regina , Trixie Joue Abraham
Published: September 2021

Background: There are a lot of theories about how Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) infection affects many diseases, one of them is Diabetes Mellitus (DM). However, the relation remains controversial between DM and HBV as an infection. This study aims to evaluate HBV infection as a risk factor for developing DM.Method: A systematic review was performed using medical search engines such as Pubmed, ScienceDirect and GoogleScholar. References until February 2021 that met the inclusion criteria were reviewed. The primary outcome was the prevalence of DM. Authors also perform Subgroup analyses based on study type. The extracted data were analyzed using RevMan 5.4 application.Results: A total of 20 studies were analyzed with 245,468,411 subjects included. In which divided into two groups, patients with HBV infected group and non infected HBV group. Authors found that there is a statistically difference between patients with HBV infected groups and non infected HBV groups on the primary outcome which is the prevalence of DM (OR 1.24; 95% CI, 1.10-1.41; p = 0.0006). Authors also found the same results based on study type both in case-control (OR = 1.76; 95% CI: 1.08-2.85; p = 0.02) and cross-sectional (OR = 1.40; 95% CI: 1.05-1.85; p = 0.02) studies. Meanwhile in Cohort studies the results show no statistically significant difference between the two groups (OR = 1.07; 95% CI: 0.87-1.33; p = 0.52). Conclusion:  HBV infected patients have a higher risk of developing DM than patients without HBV infection.

Polycystic liver disease is characterized by multiple cystic lesions on the liver. Liver cysts are typically incidental findings, with occasional complications including cyst hemorrhage, infection and rupture. Polycystic liver disease may be part of autosomal dominant polycystic liver disease (ADPLD). Autosomal dominant polycystic liver disease is considered rare autosomal dominant disease, with prevalence of 1/100,000-1,000,000. Without family history of polycystic liver disease, ADPLD is defined as the presence of more than 20 liver cysts with no renal cysts, however up to third of ADPLD may have small number of renal cysts without kidney function impairment.

Features of microcirculation in psoriatic arthritis
Authors: Shishkin A. N. , Nikolaeva A. A.
Published: September 2021

The literature review presents data on features of microcirculation in patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA). The immune inflammation underlying PsA leads to increased permeability of the vascular wall, deposition of the immune complexes in it, a decreased capillary blood flow, and vascular sensitivity to sympathetic stimulation. In combination with impaired blood rheology during inflammation, these changes have a significant effect on the state of the microvasculature. Increased vascular permeability and a damaged connection between the endothelium and the extracellular matrix in PsA cause the formation of the capillaries with a pathological structure. Microscopic examination of the synovial membrane of patients with PsA shows vascular tortuosity, branching, and elongation. The duration, activity of articular inflammation, as well as severity of psoriasis are associated with the degree of microcirculatory disorders in PsA. The pathomorphological changes in the vessels of patients with PsA are detected not only in the articular tissues but also in the skin, which indicates dysregulation of angiogenesis in general. The mechanisms of the formation of new vessels with a pathological structure are not fully understood. However, most likely, an imbalance of the factors of angiogenesis and antiangiogenesis plays an important role. There is growing evidence that vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) and platelet growth factor (PDGF) are involved in the pathogenesis of PsA. At the moment, the issue of early diagnosis of PsA remains relevant, especially in cases with minor skin changes and rheumatoid-like joint lesions. Information on microcirculation obtained by capillaroscopy, video capillaroscopy, and fluorescence microscopy provides additional opportunities for a differential diagnosis of PsA, a determination of activity, and a prognosis of the disease.
Studi Literatur: Pelaksanaan Promotif dan Preventif Upaya Program Kesehatan Jiwa pada Puskesmas di Indonesia
Authors: Patricia Patricia Lydia Honey , Suryawati Chriswardani , Budiyanti Rani Tiyas
Published: September 2021

Latar Belakang:

Kesehatan mental masih menjadi permasalahan kompleks yang mendapat perhatian khusus oleh seluruh dunia, termasuk di Indonesia. Banyaknya kasus yang meningkat menyebabkan menurunnya produktivitas masyarakat. Puskesmas sebagai penyedia pelayanan kesehatan memiliki fungsi mengedepankan upaya promotif dan preventif untuk meningkatkan derajad kesehatan jiwa di masyarakat.

Tujuan :

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis gambaran pelaksanaan Promotif dan Preventif upaya kesehatan jiwa pada Puskesmas yang dapat dilihat dari unsur SDM kesehatannya, metode yang digunakan untuk mencapai tujuan dan sarana/prasarana yang digunakan dalam mendukung pelaksanaan kegiatan.

Metode Penelitian:

Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian yang menggunakan simplified approach systematic literatur review. Pencarian literatur yang digunakan meliputi Science Direct, Pubmed, SpringerLink dan Google Scholar Literatur dengan kata kunci serta kriteria inklusi dan eksklusi yang telah ditetapkan.

Hasil :

Hasil penelitian menyatakan bahwa pelaksanaan upaya promotif dan preventif kesehatan jiwa di Indonesia berbeda dengan di luar negeri dalam tingkat perkembangannya. Pelaksanaan upaya kesehatan jiwa pada puskesmas di Indonesia sudah berjalan baik namun belum maksimal karena masih kurangnya pengetahuan keluarga, fasilitas dan infrastruktur yang seadanya sehingga perlunya pelatihan bagi kader kesehatan jiwa dan perawat dalam mengedukasi masyarakat, melakukan pendeteksian dini maupun penjangkauan pasien jiwa

Kesimpulan:

Pelaksanaan upaya promotif dan preventif oleh puskesmas tidak terlepas dari peran dan dukungan dari semua pihak terutama kader kesehatan jiwa dan pemberdayaan masyarakat. Ketersediaan sumber daya manusia yang memadai dan kompeten, mekanisme pelaksanaan yang sesuai dengan waktu dan program serta sarana dan prasarana merupakan prioritas penting dan menjadi tolak ukur keberhasilan program.

Uncovering the hidden costs by evaluating ecological costs
Authors: Hariwibowo Ignatius Novianto
Published: September 2021

This study aims to calculate the environmental costs of a sugar cane producer. Worsening environmental problems have required the company to implement environmental management practices. Nevertheless, the results of these environmental management practices need to be evaluated by comparing its ecological costs (eco-costs) as the external costs with costs allocated by the company to manage the environment. Accordingly, this study employs the case study at a cane sugar producing company located in Yogyakarta Specific Region Province. Furthermore, we combine two environmental cost calculation methods, namely the Environmental Management Accounting (EMA) and Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methods. The EMA approach seeks to identify prevention and compensation costs. Meanwhile, the LCA approach is used to calculate eco-costs. We convert the eco-cost values based on the values from the table of ecological cost values at www.ecocostsvalue.com. The results of this study show that the company incur environmental impact costs much greater than its prevention and compensation costs. These findings indicate that the company has not incorporated hidden environmental costs in its environmental management.
Managerial experience, fixed asset, and capital structure
Authors: Giovanni Axel , Muharam Harjum , Hirawati Heni , Sijabat Yacobo P
Published: September 2021

This study empirically investigates the effect of managerial experience on capital structure and the role of fixed assets as the moderating variable in this relationship. Our research sample is all firms in the infrastructure, utilities, and transportation sectors listed at the Indonesian Stock Exchange in 2014-2018 based on the purposive sampling method. We analyze the research data with the ordinary least square (OLS) method. The results of our regression analysis show that managerial experience negatively affects capital structure. However, we find that fixed assets do not moderate the relationship between managerial experience and capital structure. Further analysis indicates that fixed assets moderate the relationship between managerial experience (MANXEP) and capital structure when MANEXP is measured with internal experience but not with the external one.  Besides, the relationship between managerial experience and capital structure is significant when the fixed asset ratio is moderate or high. Overall, these findings indicate that studies on the effects of top managers/ CEOs’ characteristics on firms’ policies or performance should obtain and analyze more detailed measures of the CEOs’ characteristics or the context variables.
Intimations of a Spiritual New Age. IV. Carl Jung’s Archetypal Imagination
as Futural Planetary Shamanism
Authors: Hunt Harry
Published: September 2021

This series of papers on early anticipations of a spiritual New Age ends with Carl Jung’s version of a futural planetary-wide unus mundus rejoining person and cosmos, based on his psychoid linkage of quantum physics and consciousness, and especially on the neo-shamanic worldview emerging out of his spirit guided initiation in the more recently published Red Book. A cognitive-psychological re-evaluation of Jung’s archetypal imagination, the metaphoricity of his alchemical writings, and a comparison of Jung
and Levi-Strauss on mythological thinking all support a contemporary view of Jung’s active imagination and mythic amplification as a spiritual intelligence based on a formal operations in affect, as also reflected in his use of the multi-perspectival synchronicities of the I-Ching. A reconsideration of Bourguignon on the larger relations between trance and social structure further supports the neo-shamanic nature of Jung’s Aquarian Age expectations.
A Fractal Epistemology for Transpersonal Psychology
Authors: Marks-Tarlow Terry
Published: September 2021

The role of science has been controversial within the nascent field of transpersonal psychology. Traditional linear and reductionist models are insufficient to address rare and unreproducible states of mind, fringe rather than normative experiences, and highly personal or culturally specific aspects of awareness. Through a fractal epistemology this paper introduces novel metaphors, models, and methods within a more holistic, organic, and synthetic branch of science. Principles of the epistemology illuminate observer dependence, fuzzy boundaries, recursive patterns, and higher dimensional phenomena that emerge within the infinite expanses between ordinary, finite (Euclidean) dimensions.
How have adventure playgrounds in the United Kingdom adapted post-March Lockdown in 2020?
Authors: King Pete
Published: September 2021

Adventure playgrounds have been a feature in the United Kingdom since the 1950s. Their growth and development was underpinned by ‘thinking together’, a concept in the Communities of Practice (CoP) approach. In March 2020, the United Kingdom (UK) went into lockdown. This study aimed to find out how adventure playgrounds responded to the Covid-19 situation when they reopened in July 2020. Semi-structured interviews were undertaken with 18 adventure playground staff from 14 adventure playgrounds. Thematic analysis of the data constructed themes and sub-themes within four main headings: preparation for opening; reduction; targeted service and play behaviour. The results showed how the adventure playgrounds had to re-organise the provision with a reduction in the number of children and young people attending, moving to a more closed-access bookable provision and implementing new policies and procedures to meet the demands of social distancing. This paper reports on the findings of this study and reflects on how the CoP approach has been a feature of the post Covid response of these adventure playgrounds.
Hiroshima on Peace Education and Problems with U.S.-Centric Historical Narratives in a World Without Survivors
Authors: Thome Matthew
Published: September 2021

As time passes, the number of survivors from major world tragedies like the nuclear bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki grows fewer and fewer. These survivors are a powerful resource for educating students of all ages about the importance of world peace. Drawing on the writing of Richard Moody and Frans Doppen, as well as Paul Ham, and Herbert Feis respectively, I outline the important role of hibakusha, or a-bomb survivors, in peace education at the secondary and collegiate levels. I explain how personalized survivor testimony provides an alternative and highly effective and necessary counterweight to teaching solely a U.S.-centric historical narrative with regards to the end of World War II.
The Effects of Humanitarian Aid on the Advancement of Livelihood under Article 25 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights
Authors: Keeney Courtney
Published: September 2021

Humanitarian aid continues to be under close scrutiny as the international community analyzes its effects on the receiving populations in the developing world. Although aid should not be stopped completely, there are areas that can be improved. In theory, aid should increase economic capabilities as it sustains populations and advances their quality of life. On the systematic level, data supports that there are more efficient ways to allocate aid to benefit recipient states rather than donor states. The allocation of aid is partly determined by individual political interests of donor nations and the promotion of their foreign policies. Logistics and the dispersal of aid in the receiving country can be highly politicized when the government oversees the process. Human rights are often forgotten in the allocation of aid on the ground as each country and situation is not considered under its unique circumstances. The current United States administration has not positively impacted the current crises in Venezuela as their history of foreign policy is being repeated. The following sections will seek to answer the question of: Does humanitarian aid in Latin America advance an adequate standard of living under Article 25 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights?
I am Fascinated by What is Beautiful, Strong, Healthy” Leni Riefenstahl, Gender, and Absolved Guilt
Authors: Ludwig Karmann
Published: September 2021

Public discourse around the Nazi regime is typically surrounded by its doctrine of hatred and violence; traditional gender roles and these traits have rendered fascism a decidedly masculine pursuit—which Nazi doctrine wholeheartedly supported. Many men are to blame for the atrocities of the Holocaust and are rightfully criticized and despised for their actions; however, though a major contributor to the fascist ideology through her propaganda, filmmaker Leni Riefenstahl has remained extremely controversial. While scholars and critics have criticized Leni Riefenstahl’s films as emblemizing a fascist aesthetic, many have nonetheless praised her as an innovative artist, arguing for a separation from the person and the art. Riefenstahl’s films—primarily funded by the Nazi regime, despite her adamant dismissal of these claims—focus largely on what she calls the “beauty” of the human figure: that is, the “Aryan” bodies, whose “beauty” lied in their whiteness and able-bodied figures. Such an image represents the Nazi policy on all levels. This is especially evident in Olympia, Riefenstahl’s three-and-a-half-hour art documentary cataloguing the 1936 Berlin Olympics. The documentary employs images of bodies intended to convey ideology through supposed physical perfection, as well as narratives of nationalism and collective victory; both aspects render Olympia a film that substantially contributed (and, to this day, still contribute) to the dangerous culture of fascism and nationalism.

La escuela y la migración: experiencias de niños venezolanos en Colombia
Authors: Millan Otero Katy Luz , Duran Palacio  Nicolasa María , Rodríguez Marin Laura Andrea , García Hincapié Andrea
Published: September 2021

En los últimos años las transformaciones sociales, económicas y políticas de Venezuela han afectado la dinámica doméstica de la región y se han extrapolado más allá del continente, siendo la migración uno de sus efectos de mayor importancia histórica y coyuntural. El éxodo de los venezolanos hacia Colombia ha modificado no solamente la dinámica social del país de acogida, sino también las interacciones en las instituciones educativas, tras la incursión de niños y niñas migrantes. Esta investigación buscó analizar la experiencia de los niños venezolanos en las aulas de clase en la ciudad de Medellín. El horizonte de la investigación es cualitativo enmarcado en el método de estudio de caso que aporta descripciones densas con el propósito de interpretar y teorizar sobre la situación que es objeto de estudio. Se usó la entrevista semiestructurada y el mural de situaciones para la recolección de la información. Los hallazgos evidencian los desafíos que deben enfrentar los participantes en el nuevo país. En primer lugar, la xenofobia que por su condición de migrantes experimentan por parte de sus pares, quienes replican los estereotipos de los adultos exponiendo a los niños y niñas venezolanos a experiencias de “matoneo”. En segundo lugar, las dificultades para adaptarse al currículo colombiano y finalmente los tipos de duelo migratorios que deben elaborar, principalmente el duelo a la familia y amigos, a la lengua, la tierra y la cultura. Se discute el papel de la escuela como facilitador del proceso de inclusión de los estudiantes extranjeros.

This is a personal spoken word piece dedicated to moments I spent as a child with my grandmother. My grandmother is a child of the Nakba, the Palestinian “catastrophe” that exiled out over 700,000 Palestinians in 1948. In this piece, childhood observations are made of my grandmother’s longing for her homeland, family and safety. The piece explores first-hand accounts of the everyday life of being a child of diaspora, such as the significance of specific foods and cultural dishes, intergenerational conflicts created in the home, and inner conflictions felt around one’s faith. The piece makes space for the mundane innocence of childhood, with the striking reality of generational disruptions that stems from the displacement of one’s sense of cultural rootedness, language, faith and homeland.
Radiance in Reclamation
Authors: Javeed Ali
Published: September 2021

In the sharp frosty winds of the morning of January 9th, 2019, Indigenous activist group Idle no More and their allies shut down the Bloor Viaduct, a well-used truss arch bridge in Tkaronto, Ontario, Kanata (Three Fire Territories) that connects the city’s east-side to its downtown core. The action took place during rush hour in solidarity with the Wet’suwet’en First Nation. The Canadian government was once again violating unceded land by mobilizing armed federal law enforcement to forcibly remove the nation from their land in order to build a gas pipeline. In response to this violence, allies throughout the city, myself among them, decided to show Tkaronto that it was not business as usual by bringing traffic on the Viaduct to a halt. Importantly, the bridge looms over the Don River. Reclamation of this space was therefore a reminder of the sanctity of water, gesturing to the fact that it is a privilege to be able to access clean water, while also reminding us of the threat of contamination posed by the pipelines’ development. As the day came to an end and the sun retreated, cycling through its farewell hues of yellow and orange, the elders began to sing. We round danced, our bodies flowing as one like the river beneath us. Our melodic voices of hope and mourning, joining the gusts of wind that whistled between the bridge supports. After the protest, we continued to chant as we walked back, fists raised with the awareness that, although this action was over, our spirits had been rekindled for the next one. This photo essay seeks to echo the calls of resistance of that day. I capture the warm hopeful tones of the sunset in an otherwise frigid colour scheme, while using wide angles to capture the scope of attendance, and a low depth of field to center the role of femme-identifying water protectors in the movement.
My Life Matters
Authors: Edwards Fiona
Published: September 2021

White supremacy presents Black communities with numerous challenges. We are constantly being injured by the anti-black racism that is deeply entrenched in the policies and practices of dominant institutions. These establishments, including, if not especially, the criminal justice system, purport to be responsible for ensuring the well-being and welfare of all, but only ever protect the rich and white. The recent re-mobilization of the Black Lives Matter movement worldwide has reminded the public of the urgency of tackling anti-black racism, but much work still needs to be done if we want future generations of Black people to live freely. Like Black adults, Black youth are not immune from racist encounters. In such a time of racial crisis, the experiences of Black youth need to be centralized in a movement that opposes racial injustice and white supremacy. Accordingly, this poem adopts the lens of a Black youth to speak to the cost of growing up Black immersed in the dominant anti-black culture of our society, underscoring the troubling realities of what it means to be a Black youth in today’s world.
Policymaking Process for Foreign Care Workers in Contemporary Japan
Authors: Niki Izumi
Published: September 2021

This paper analyzes recent policy reforms made to foreign care work in Japan. The two policy reforms discussed in this paper are 1. The expansion of categories in the Technical Intern Training Program (TITP) and 2. The inclusion of domestic workers into the Japanese labour sector through the use of National Strategic Special Zones. By analyzing these policymaking processes, the following four observations were made salient. 1. That policy reforms were largely driven by economic motivations; 2. That the policymaking processes that determined the nature of these reforms were led by politicians who were acting on behalf of the interests of business leaders; 3. That the Japanese government continues to utilize policies that deny labourers permanent residency or citizenship status, such as temporary worker programs, in order to avoid implementing migration practices that allow workers to become Japanese citizens; and 4. That the government holds contradicting attitudes towards care work, whereby eldercare is increasingly considered professional/skilled work, while domestic work is regarded as low/semi-skilled labour. These findings suggest that Japan’s foreign care immigration policies are designed to recruit temporary workers in ways that violate their human rights for the purpose of exploitation, in addition to the original goal of transferring skills to sending countries. With this in mind, I conclude my paper by arguing that these policymaking processes reproduce a gendered, racialized, and classed international division of labour and a global care chain
Sitting in the dark
Authors: Edwards Fiona
Published: September 2021

COVID-19 has created a new reality for countries worldwide as leaders are tasked with the responsibility of enacting safety measures to stop the rate of infection. Social distancing is promoted as one of the main ways of curbing the spread of the virus. Such measures limit social interaction and the spaces people are free to occupy. The following poem, entitled “Sitting in the dark: COVID-19 and mental well-being” speaks to the mental health impacts of such closures on the youth population, highlighting that no one is immune from the virus. This poem also explores the interconnectedness of a person’s physical and mental health andthe subsequent need to pay attention to both realities during times of global crisis. Despite the challenges the pandemic presents, it is imperative that youth find an outlet to cope, one that will help them develop resiliency and a sense of hope.
I Need a Nap
Authors: Keating Amy
Published: September 2021

This work of creative non-fiction makes use of auto-theory and personal journaling to unpack my experience of living with idiopathic hypersomnia in a hyperproductive capitalist context. My discussions are undergirded by my frustration that I must depend upon the medicalization of my body and products ofcapitalist pharmaceutical corporations to function. I centre my experiences around my reality as a graduatestudent. Success in academia requires a gross output of ideas beyond the grasp of many folx who live with various chronic conditions. Using affect theory, queer crip studies, queer phenomenology, and temporality, I meander through the ever-present burden of existing in a tired body with the yearning to change (destroy)a system that already makes us all feel far too tired.
Imagining an (Un)productive Anthropology Through The Night
Authors: Famarin Ira , Joshi Vishwaveda
Published: September 2021

Through this email exchange, we have tried to engage with ourselves by considering our bodies as archives of trauma, feelings, and ideas, using the thematic of the nighttime and nightness. Nightness emerges as a counter epistemology in our rumination and it transfigures the dualisms of day and night, productive and unproductive as merging in space and time. By writing ourselves as bodies of the night, such that we belong both to the day and to the night, or perhaps neither to the day nor to the night, we use the night and nightness to process our grief; to feel grief and to escape away from it into a possibility of thinking/feeling where we exist and we don’t at the same time. These emails not only suggest a counter epistemology but also the possibility of an (un)productive anthropology, one which happens within each of us around nightness - away from the day, or rather, away from the neoliberal expectation of the day.
A Collective Grievance, A Collective Acquiescence
Authors: Varadi Amber-Lee
Published: September 2021

Can grieving death be the presence of a haunting? In this brief think piece, I draw on memory studies to contemplate the ongoing pandemic of racialized violence against Black and Indigenous people specifically and people of colour more generally. Life and death, surviving and suffering, and tenebrous apparitions are discussed as I synthesize the work of Sharpe (2016), Dean (2015), and Gordon (2008) to consider how we, particularly white scholars like myself, are implicated in a present that is haunted by an insidiously active past. Vision and the nuances of sight are also discussed in relation to whiteness, accountability, and allyship with/in our seemingly over-and-done-with pandemic of anti-Black and settler-colonial violence.
Cartas de oferta de “quartel” em tupi de lideranças Potiguaras (1645)
Authors: Barros Cândida , Monserrat Ruth
Published: September 2021

O trabalho apresenta os resultados preliminares de uma pesquisa sobre seis cartas em tupi de lideranças potiguara. Elas foram escritas em 1645 durante a guerra luso-holandesa. A hipótese da pesquisa é que os chefes militares potiguara pró-portugueses se apropriaram da forma de escrita do ato de rendição militar da guerra europeia (que chamaremos de carta de oferta de quartel), incluindo, porém, marcas discursivas próprias da oratória indígena, como o uso da interpelação através de termos de parentesco, entre outros recursos linguísticos. A transcrição paleográfica, a segmentação linguística e a tradução preliminar para o português do corpus epistolar são atividades já realizadas. Na presente versão os objetivos são inventariar no corpus potiguara o léxico do campo semântico da guerra e da rendição, as formas pronominais e os termos de parentesco. A hipótese é que por esses recursos lexicais e gramaticais em tupi se pode observar o caráter híbrido das cartas, que se aproxima da oratória tupi de chefia. No trabalho são exemplificados tais traços com trechos de uma das cartas do líder potiguara Filipe Camarão, por ser o autor menos traduzido para o português.
Bilíngues sentem e expressam emoções da mesma forma em cada língua? Um estudo com brasileiros falantes de português e inglês
Authors: Melo Juliana da Silva de , Fontes Ana Beatriz Arêas da Luz
Published: September 2021

Evidencias mostram que bilíngues geralmente se sentem mais emocionais quando expressam suas emoções na sua primeira língua em comparação com a sua segunda (PAVLENKO, 2007, 2012; DEWAELE; NAKANO, 2012; COSTA et al., 2014). Dessa forma, o objetivo deste estudo foi investigar se bilíngues que têm o português brasileiro (PB) como primeira língua (L1) e inglês como segunda língua (L2) sentem e expressam suas emoções de forma diferente na sua língua estrangeira em comparação com sua língua nativa. Para fazer isso, foi aplicado um questionário que contou com 114 participantes bilíngues adultos que possuem PB como L1 e inglês como L2. Os participantes responderam a perguntas referentes ao histórico de linguagem e também à frequência e à probabilidade de expressão de suas emoções. Investigamos a expressão de ansiedade, a expressão de raiva e de sentimentos profundos, o uso de xingamentos e o sentimento de ser eloquente, sério, emocional e falso nas diferentes línguas. Foi explorada também a preferência pela L1 ou L2 na expressão da frase “eu te amo”, no uso de termos carinhosos e na expressão de memórias difíceis. Os resultados demonstraram que os participantes preferiram o PB ao expressar emoções, apresentando uma relação emocional mais forte com a L1, demonstrando que bilíngues sentem e expressam emoções de forma diferente na L1 e na L2. O contexto de aquisição, a frequência de uso e a autoavaliação de proficiência foram fatores que exerceram grande influência na percepção e na expressão de emoções na L1 e na L2.
Ensino de alemão no Brasil
Authors: Guimarães Felipe Furtado
Published: September 2021

Este estudo teve como objetivo analisar a produção de conhecimento sobre o ensino da língua alemã no Brasil. Para tanto, foi realizado um levantamento bibliográfico das publicações com essa temática, disponíveis na base de dados SciELO, compreendendo o período entre 2002 e 2021, resultando num corpus de 24 textos. Procedimentos de análise de conteúdo foram aplicados ao corpus, evidenciando nove temas/áreas amplas de pesquisa. Os resultados apontam que a maioria das produções está concentrada em uma única revista, com aumento na quantidade de artigos publicados no período analisado. Também foi observado um predomínio de autores vinculados a instituições situadas em São Paulo e Rio de Janeiro. A partir dos temas que emergiram do corpus, notou-se um predomínio de estudos sobre materiais didáticos e escolhas metodológicas. A conclusão sugere que sejam consultadas outras bases de dados e outras instituições, para identificar produções fora do eixo Rio/São Paulo. Além disso, os nove temas identificados nesta pesquisa apontam tanto para aspectos do ensino de alemão que carecem de mais pesquisas (por exemplo, análises históricas), quanto para aspectos que já estão mais consolidados como temas de investigação (por exemplo, materiais didáticos).
A sinonímia na sala de aula
Authors: Nogueira Sônia Maria
Published: September 2021

Neste texto, pretende-se analisar o fenômeno da sinonímia no livro didático de língua portuguesa do ensino fundamental do Brasil em contraposição ao do ensino primário de Angola. Para isso, toma-se como corpus as obras “Singular & plural: leitura, produção e estudos de linguagem”, 6º ano, de Balthasar e Goulart (2018a) e “Língua Portuguesa”, 6ª classe, de Mesquita e Gama (2018), do Brasil e Angola, respectivamente. Trata-se de pesquisa documental com análise qualitativa. O trabalho ancora-se nas proposições da Historiografia Linguística, representada por Köerner (1996), observando-se os princípios de contextualização e imanência, assim como na organização proposta por Swiggers (2013). Os resultados apontam que o estudo da sinonímia foi privilegiado nos livros didáticos, em atividades que instigam o uso do dicionário, instrumento fundamental na expansão vocabular. Além de propostas de discussão e reflexão quanto às escolhas das palavras, levando em consideração não apenas palavras soltas, mas também o contexto em que estão inseridas.
