El marxismo desde nuestro tercer mundo latinoamericano
Authors: Henao Hander Andrés
Published: August 2024

La Edición completa de las obras de Marx y Engels (MEGA) ha demostrado que la crítica de la economía política es un continente que todavía está siendo descubierto. Sin embargo, las tergiversaciones contemporáneas realizadas por Edgardo Lander sobre este legado lo han dado por obsoleto y carente de sentido para nuestras luchas, aduciendo un conocimiento absoluto de sus planteamientos. El presente escrito aborda los lineamientos generales de las lecturas contemporáneas del marxismo desde nuestro tercer mundo latinoamericano y realiza algunas aclaraciones, para luego producir un «registro» de esta tradición que regrese a los fundamentos de su pensamiento en la medida que mantiene un horizonte crítico sobre la Modernidad y el capitalismo. Dejamos en claro el modo antimarxista de producir una estandarización del pensamiento de Marx por parte de Edgardo Lander y, apuntamos en la dirección de una apropiación acorde con la dimensión anticolonial del pensamiento del Marx y del marxismo latinoamericano.
Apariciones espectrales
Authors: Antuña Jesús
Published: August 2024

En el siguiente artículo me propongo establecer una relación entre las prácticas artísticas contemporáneas vinculadas a los usos e interpretación de archivos y lo que denomino espectralidad. Esta relación es, según se sostiene, una de las principales vías de acceso a las prácticas artísticas Para este abordaje, recupero las contribuciones a la temática realizadas por Jacques Derrida, Aby Warburg y Georges Didi-Huberman, en donde es posible observar la fractura y reconfiguración de la temporalidad lineal que sostuvo a la modernidad occidental a partir de la figura del espectro. En segundo lugar, se analizan las obras de los artistas argentinos Daniel García, Graciela Sacco y Cristina Piffer en donde pretendo observar la manera en la que estos artistas proponen una impronta visual y estética caracterizada por el uso de imágenes de archivo en donde la figura del espectro ocupa el espacio de indagación central. En este sentido, sostengo que es posible pensar en las prácticas artísticas contemporáneas que emergen luego de la dictadura militar que entre 1976 y 1983 gobernó a la Argentina, como una política espectral concebida como reaparición de aquello que ha sido reprimido y violentado.

Published: August 2024

O presente artigo investiga as possíveis contribuições das Tecnologias da Informação e da Comunicação (TIC) para a promoção do turismo sustentável no roteiro de visitação das grutas de Campo Formoso (CF), na Bahia, apresentando experiências da aplicação de TIC para alavancar o espeleoturismo no Brasil e no exterior. Com abordagem qualitativa, o estudo, de natureza exploratória e descritiva, realiza triangulação metodológica e de dados, executando pesquisa secundária em sites institucionais, pesquisa documental de campo e pesquisa direta, com aplicação de questionários eletrônicos e realização de entrevistas junto a 41 stakeholders ligados ao setor. Os resultados confirmam as potencialidades das TIC para a promoção de um turismo sustentável no município estudado e para dar ampla visibilidade aos recursos naturais das suas grutas, sobretudo diante das tecnologias inovadoras da Realidade Aumentada e da internet móvel de 5ª Geração, hoje com perspectiva de expansão no interior do país, podendo vir a contribuir para o desenvolvimento local nas diversas esferas. Entretanto, os achados mostram que existem hoje obstáculos que precisam ser superados para que CF possa vir a se beneficiar de um turismo sustentável vigoroso, em âmbito não só nacional, como global, com o recurso das TIC. O primeiro empecilho é o desconhecimento, por parte dos gestores e stakeholders ligados ao turismo do município, quanto às possibilidades das TIC para impulsionar um turismo sustentável das grutas de CF. O segundo é a incipiência da infraestrutura atual de Campo Formoso para o turismo. Diante do panorama deflagrado, os autores propõem um plano imperativo de modernização para o turismo sustentável em grutas deste município, com adoção das TIC para o êxito da sua implementação.

Educação Ambiental como ferramenta de sensibilização para redução das queimadas
Authors: Fernandes Camila de Paula , Santos Daniel Medina Corrêa , Oliveira Ana Beatriz Lima Perez
Published: August 2024

A Mata Atlântica, já chegou a ocupar mais de 1.400.000 km2 do território brasileiro, hoje com 12,4% da sua cobertura original, dá lugar a áreas antropizadas, em função da expansão das áreas urbanas e agrícolas. Seus remanescentes sofrem com a intensa pressão, perda e fragmentação por conta de atividades antrópicas, tais como: desmatamento, poluição, incêndios, entre outras. Os impactos causados pelas queimadas e incêndios na Mata Atlântica são um caso antigo e a Educação Ambiental é uma das ferramentas capazes de frear e diminuir esse impacto. Nesse sentido, analisamos a percepção dos visitantes sobre os incêndios no Parque Estadual da Pedra Branca e sobre a Educação Ambiental. O trabalho foi feito a partir de uma pesquisa com os frequentadores do Parque Estadual da Pedra Branca, por meio de um questionário semiestruturado com 17 perguntas, que visam verificar se os visitantes têm contato com a Educação Ambiental, têm conhecimento acerca das queimadas e incêndios florestais e os impactos causados por estes eventos, além de verificar se existe uma relação entre a EA e o conhecimento sobre os eventos e os impactos das queimadas. Ao todo foram entrevistados 101 frequentadores. Após análise foi verificado que a maioria das pessoas que não tiveram contato com Educação Ambiental, não têm noção dos impactos causados pelas queimadas e incêndios, tanto no ambiente, quanto em suas vidas, e os que tiveram contato apresentaram uma maior percepção sobre os impactos causados. Assim, como o conhecimento sobre queimadas ainda é muito vago, este pode ser mais estruturado por meio da Educação Ambiental, proporcionando um aumento da sensibilização sobre este assunto e contribuindo para redução dos eventos no interior do parque e, consequentemente, do impacto no ecossistema.

Published: August 2024

The rapid advancement of technology has profoundly transformed society, bringing about unprecedented benefits and challenges. This paper examines the ethical implications of technology, focusing on the multifaceted impact on privacy, security, equity, and human autonomy. As technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), big data, and the Internet of Things (IoT) become increasingly integrated into daily life, concerns about data privacy and surveillance intensify. The potential for misuse of personal information by corporations and governments raises critical ethical questions regarding consent and transparency. Moreover, the digital divide highlights issues of equity and access, as technological advancements often exacerbate existing social inequalities. The ethical responsibility of ensuring that technology benefits all segments of society, rather than just a privileged few, is paramount. Additionally, the rise of autonomous systems and AI challenges traditional notions of human agency and accountability, prompting debates about the moral and legal responsibilities of developers and users.This paper explores these ethical dimensions through a comprehensive review of current literature and case studies, aiming to provide a balanced perspective on how society can navigate the complex ethical landscape of technology. Ultimately, fostering an ethical framework for technological development and deployment is crucial for ensuring that technological progress contributes to the common good.
Demand Supply Curve of a Basic Need Commodity
Authors: Ahmad Shahbaz
Published: August 2024

The Demand Supply theory does not differentiate between the commodities which are essentially required by the people and the commodities which are luxury items affordable by only a select class of people. A typical demand supply curve also does not differentiate between needs and wants and is much influenced by the marketing strategies. A typical demand supply curve is a theoretical concept of a free market situation when there are only wants and needs have already been met. The demand supply dynamics for basic need goods is quite different and the supply or availability of the essential needs of the people can’t be left to the vagaries of the market forces. The demand (need) is limited and supply has to be there to meet this need. The government has to intervene to ensure the fulfillment of the basic needs of the people.
Thermo-mechanical Design Of A 100 Ghz Mmic Power Amplifier Using Flip Chip Technology
Authors:   , Cremin Sean ,   Cork Institute of Technology
Published: August 2024

"This thesis is concerned with the thermo-mechanical design, thermal modelling and temperature profile measurement of a 100 GHz flip chip bump bonded MMIC medium power amplifier. Flip chip mounting offers superior RF performance in terms of output power, gain, noise figure and bandwidth. The thermal challenge was to dissipate approximately two watts of DC power from the GaAs MMIC (monolithic microwave integrated circuit) through Au (gold) stud bumps which equates to less then 7% of the total surface area of the die. Infrared thermographic images confirmed that the flip chip MMIC amplifier was functional with all eight FET stages on the die clearly visible and recording the highest temperatures. The primary circuit features of the MMIC were clearly visible on the thermal image which implies that GaAs is transparent to the infrared (IR) radiation detected by the IR camera. Infrared thermography is a potential method of characterization of flip chip GaAs devices (not seen before). Various substrate material combinations were modelled using Finite Element Analysis tools in order to predict thermal gradients and heat flow paths through the structure. Junction temperatures between 14°C and 49°C were predicted with substrates made from BeO, AIN and AI2O3. Subsequent detailed geometric modelling of the structure using optimised Au stud bumps predicted a junction temperature increase of 21°C for the alumina substrate. Infrared thermographic images of the flipped 100 GHz MPA reported an average FET temperature increase of 11°C. These infrared micrographs were taken looking ‘down through’ the 0.63mm thickness of GaAs die. When transmittance losses through the GaAs were taken into account by using a correction factor to modify the emissivity value on the IR camera, a corrected temperature increase of 17°C was recorded. After extensive RF testing of the x4 multiplier amplifier module, the 100 GHz MPA MMIC was detached from the alumina substrate. Visual inspection under a high power optical microscope revealed no evidence of any thermal damage on the MMIC surface. It is clear that the thermal bumps located close to the FET’s extracted a significant portion of the heat from the chip reliably."
The Use Of Membrane Filtration To Increase Native Whey Protein In Infant Formula, And Effects On Bioaccessibility And Bioactivity
Authors:   , Chen Yihong ,   Munster Technological University
Published: August 2024

Breastfeeding is recognised as the gold standard for feeding newborns and infants. However, infants who cannot be breast-fed or for whom breast milk is not available, can be fed with bovine infant milk formula (IMF) as a substitute. Researchers and producers of IMF strive to continually improve or “humanise” the composition and functionality of IMF. During production of IMF it must undergo several heat treatment steps, e.g. heat-sterilisation or spray-drying, in order to provide a safe product to the infant. These heat treatments denature the globular whey proteins in IMF. In contrast, breast milk is by its nature unheated, so all proteins are in their native form. As a consequence of whey protein denaturation, IMF and breast milk display different digestive and bioactive properties. The purpose of this thesis was to investigate the effects of membrane filtration during IMF processing on maintaining the native structure of whey proteins, and their effect on the gastro-intestinal behaviour and bioactivity of IMF compared with conventional heat treatment. Both lab and pilot-scale manufacturing of membrane filtrated IMF (MEM-IMF) were validated in the studies. The MEM-IMF had markedly increased levels of native whey proteins and water-soluble proteins in the final powders compared to conventional heat treated IMF (HT-IMF). The increase in native whey proteins in MEM-IMF altered the gastrointestinal digestion kinetics and enabled faster protein hydrolysis in both in vitro semi-dynamic digestion and in an in vivo piglet model. In vitro cell models revealed that ex vivo serum collected from MEM-IMF fed piglets promoted adipocyte proliferation and differentiation, in comparison with HT-IMF fed. This thesis demonstrated that MEM-IMF and HT-IMF exhibit favourable digestive behaviour and bioactivities due to the different levels of native whey proteins. The outcomes of this work provides valuable insights into the scaling up MEM-IMF to industrial scale. It also presents the results of state-of-the-art bioavailability assays for IMF by using both an infant in vitro semi-dynamic digestion method and in vivo piglet digestion combined with ex vivo-in vitro serum-cell model.

The relationship of Iași composers with the avant-garde: Anton Zeman, Vasile Spătărelu, Sabin Pautza, Viorel Munteanu, Cristian Misievici
Authors: Vasiliu Laura Otilia
Published: August 2024

The European and Romanian musical avant-garde from the 1950s to the 1970s is being reconsidered from a theoretical and compositional point of view, a phenomenon, which determines me to propose a topic in this thematic area. It is well-known that the renewal of the sonorous art in Iași, a traditional Romanian cultural centre, was owed to a group of composers educated at the “Ciprian Porumbescu” Conservatoire in Bucharest, who became professors, creative artists in Iași – Anton Zeman (1937-1996), Vasile Spătărelu (1938-2006), Sabin Pautza (1943), to the same extent to the first graduates of the Iași composition class: Viorel Munteanu (1944) and Cristian Misievici (1953-2020). Maintaining a constant relationship with the central movement of national creation and directly with languages promoted by the European avant-garde composers, the Iași musicians capitalised individually on the new sonorous imagery, on the new types of writing: the serially or mathematically organised dodecaphony, textural stratification, the insertion of indeterminacy and of the sonorous effects associates with the new semiography. This study marks out various compositional behaviours in relation to the precepts of the avant-garde: the gradual assimilation of the new language and its development in ever more elaborate formats (Anton Zeman); preferential choices, censored by intuitive musicality (Vasile Spătărelu), an intense avant-gardist experiment left for creative visions with more appeal to the public (Sabin Pautza); an oasis of radical renewal at the centre of a modern synthetic creation (Viorel Munteanu); an authentic and consistent avant-gardist manifestation, perfect compatibility with the new compositional design (Cristian Misievici).
The Oriental classical music in the Romanian Principalities during the time of Dimitrie Cantemir. The tanbûr on the Romanian territory
Authors: Rusu Eduard
Published: August 2024

The Oriental classical music represents a cultured music specific to the Oriental area and encountered at the Court of different political rulers. It appears as a “salon” music at the princely and noble Courts and it is intended for the political and social elite. Its emergence and development corresponds to the Western symphonic music. In the Romanian Principalities the Oriental classical music – Ottoman and Persian – appears as guided by the same coordinates, being taken from Constantinople by the Romanian political rulers. Thus, it represents not just another kind of music which can be listened at the princely court on special occasions, but also a manifesto of political power. The connection between this type of music, Dimitrie Cantemir and the Romanian Principalities resides in the fact that the Moldavian ruler and writer has had a very important role in the development of Ottoman classical music in a time when it was emerging from Persian ‘guardianship’. Dimitrie Cantemir was not only an excellent performer of the tanbûr, one of the instruments specific to this music, but also a composer, collector and a theoretician of Oriental classical music. Through the present material, we will try to show how the Oriental classical music developed in the Romanian Principalities and to observe the presence, circulation and importance of the tanbûr in these territories.

Published: August 2024

Sabin Pautza turned 80 on February 8, 2023. Known to the Romanian musical world, and not only, through his stylistically diverse works, the musician dedicated his life especially to composition. His creation is included on vinyl discs and CDs, it has tempted various performers who are passionate about academic music, as well as entertainment music, and has been approached musicologically over time, in studies, such as those signed by: Liliana Gherman (1978 - Cantata „Columne” pentru cor și orchestră pe versuri de Vasile Filip [Cantata "Columne" for choir and orchestra with lyrics by Vasile Filip]), Anca Sîrbu (2012 - Syntaxes and Sonorous Systems in Five Pieces for Orchestra by Sabin Pautza), Gheorghe Duțică (2012 - Archetypal Polysemies in Jocuri II by Sabin Pautza), Ciprian Ion (2019 - „Canti prophani” de Sabin Pautza: joaca inocentă a copiilor ilustrată printr-un joc componistic elaborat [“Canti prophani” by Sabin Pautza: the innocent play of children illustrated through an elaborate compositional game]), Daniel Paicu (2021 - Stylistic and interpretative issues in Two preludes for clarinet and piano by Sabin Păutza). The present research aims to reveal nuances of the musician's personality, found in his works, his musical dialogues, his ways of communication, all this starting from the interview he gave me in 2020. Music is art, and Sabin Pautza believes that art is the one who brings him closer to people.
Opera Singing Models in the Second Half of the 20th Century. Leontyne Price and Maria Slătinaru-Nistor
Authors: Iațeșen Loredana
Published: August 2024

Considering that one of the artists with an exceptional national and international career, Maria Slătinaru-Nistor, celebrates her 85th birthday this year, we intend to celebrate this event in a special way, by reminding the already known biography or singing career information and at the same time by focusing on her opera singing career through a comparative approach with the distinguished figure of another contemporary singer, Leontyne Price, in a commentary on a representative score from the verismo repertoire, namely Floria Tosca’s aria in Act II (Giacomo Puccini’s Tosca). Therefore, in this paper we will sketch the portraits of the two sopranos, Leontyne Price and Maria Slătinaru-Nistor, in order to identify similarities and differences in their approach to the aria in question, with the aim of demonstrating one particular critical approach, according to which Maria Slătinaru-Nistor’s artistic personality is a natural continuation of Leontyne Price’s.
Manuscript 110 from the “Dumitru Stăniloae” Ecumenical Library of the Metropolitan Church of Moldavia and Bukovina in Iași
Authors: Dănilă Irina Zamfira
Published: August 2024

The aim of the present work is to study the repertoire and to discover the possible musical sources used by the copyist to write Ms. 110, starting from its cataloguing. The codex uses Greek (predominantly) and Romanian languages and chrysanthine notation. The copyists (at least two) of the manuscript are anonymous, of Romanian origin. The codex was originally thought of as a collection of cheroubika-koinonika psaltic repertoire, but was later supplemented by another copyist with the festal axions in Romanian translated by Makarios the Hieromonk and prosomia in Greek. The repertoire in Greek includes a series of cheroubika and koinonika for Sundays and great holidays all over the year. The authors are Greek classical composers: Petros Lampadarios, Daniil Protopsaltis, Ioannis Protopsaltis, Chourmouzios Chartophylakos, Gregorios Protopsaltis, Petros Byzantios. The source of the Greek repertoire is most likely the set of volumes entitled Tαμείον Ανθολογίας / The Treasury of Anthology, which certainly represents one of the main musical collections through which the Chrysantine reform was implemented in the Hellenic area. The inclusion of the festal axions (of the great holidays of the year) in the manuscript is proof of the circulation and importance of this category of chants in the Romanian Principalities, after the introduction of the Chrysantine Reform through the significant contribution of their author, Makarios the Hieromonk.

Introduction. Changes in the paradigm of scientific cognition, the transition to the sixth technological order requires the training of specialists on a fundamentally new, interdisciplinary basis. The trend of convergence has also affected modern general education, which is consistent with the goal of modern standards of general education - the formation of a holistic picture of the world for students. The ideas of convergence of education are most fully realized in the condition of Kurchatov classes. The article reveals the features and key ideas of the organization of a convergent environment of a general education organization. The purpose of our research was to identify the possibilities of creating a convergent educational environment as a condition for the successful functioning of the Kurchatov class. Clarifying the definition of a convergent educational environment and identifying key ideas was the novelty of our research. Materials and methods. The analysis of scientific and methodological literature, content analysis, synthesis, and comparison were used for theoretical understanding of the problem. The main methods of the conducted empirical research were design, analysis of the results of external and internal evaluation of the project implementation. Results. Based on the analysis of the definitions of "convergence", "environment", "educational environment", their signs and characteristics, it was determined that the convergent educational environment is a purposefully created set of conditions that provide an interdisciplinary approach for the formation of a holistic natural science picture of the world among students, stimulating cognitive interest, creative ideas and their implementation. The key ideas of creating an environment are proposed: taking into account trends in the development of science and technology, complementarity of basic and additional education, teaching heuristic methods of cognition, mastering modern laboratory equipment, dialogization and cooperation, combining scientific, technical and humanitarian components of education. Each of these positions has its own methodological content, based on the multidimensional possibilities of implementing a convergent approach. The creation of such an environment stimulates the cognitive activity of schoolchildren, and the thoughtfulness of the content of the activity creates conditions for the formation of a holistic natural-scientific picture of the world. Discussion and conclusion. The first results of the implementation of the educational project "Kurchatov class" show its rather high effectiveness, which requires further study of the possibilities of a convergent environment as a condition for its successful implementation.

Introduction. Transition to the informational society and active development of digital educational environment actualize the contradiction between the model of mass education at school and the necessity to personalize learning in accordance with the personal educational goals of the student and differentiated requirements of the external environment. The analysis of this problem has revealed the necessity to improving the methodology of teaching informatics in the secondary school. The article proposes one of the possible solutions to the problem - algorithmicization of cognitive planning of educational activities, which constitutes the study's novelty. The purpose of this work was to substantiate and experimentally test the possibility of personalizing the educational course in the conditions of teaching informatics in a mass school. Materials and methods. The research analyzed the scientific works of Russian and foreign authors on the issues of individualization and personalization of school students' learning. The analysis was based on the methodology of the system approach to the consideration of the principles and ways of organizing personalized learning in the digital educational environment. Experimental verification of the effectiveness of the fractal algorithm of cognitive lesson design in a palliative didactic environment, developed in the course of the study was conducted in the period from 2019-2023 on the basis of the regional innovation platform of general education in the State Budgetary Educational Institution School No. 355 of the Moscow district of St. Petersburg. Methods and mechanisms developed by the innovation site during the experiment in accordance with regional requirements were used to evaluate the results. The results of the experiment were subjected to professional and public expertise, which ensures their reliability. Results. As a result of the analytical part of the study, the fundamental concepts of adaptive learning were clarified: differentiation, individualization and personalization of learning. During the practical part of the study, an algorithm of cognitive design of a lesson in a palliative didactic environment was developed, which makes it possible to implement personalized informatics teaching within the framework of the existing methodological system. Discussion and conclusion. The results of the study demonstrated that the fractal algorithm of lesson planning can provide the formation of a personal educational itinerary corresponding to the personal educational goals of the student. Using the fractal algorithm will allow to move from individualization to personalization of learning in the conditions of mass school through the use of variant scenarios of a informatics lesson.

Paul Sou, the first Chinese priest of the Congregation of the Mission, stands out in the history of Chinese Vincentian missionaries, often overshadowed by European counterparts. Unlike many, Sou's life and contributions are well-documented in various diaries and letters. Born in 1692 in Guangdong, he was baptized at 8 by Fr. Appiani, the first Vincentian missionary in China (along with Fr. Müllener). Despite drifting from the Church, he reconnected through Müllener's influence. His journey as a missionary faced numerous challenges, from the Chinese Rites controversy to persecution under Emperor Kangxi's decree. Sou's mission work spanned various regions, including Sichuan and Huguang, where he faced imprisonment, torture, and persistent hostility. Despite these hardships, he established a lasting Christian community, engaged in pastoral work, and trained future clergy. His dedication continued until his retirement in Macao, where he focused on educating young Christians. Paul Sou's legacy is a testament to his unwavering faith and the enduring spirit of early Christian missionaries in China.
