Securitizing Russia: Discursive Practices of the Baltic States
Authors: Jæger Øyvind
Published: July 2021

The author argues that the security situation of the Baltic countries cannot be separated from the way the Balts themselves speak of security. This is a discourse of danger producing insecurity in pursuit of security. Moreover, this article is a study of identity by demonstrating how Baltic security issues are constituted by discourses of danger revolving around Russian Otherness and European Sameness. In conclusion, the following aspects are addressed: the prospects for the coming together of East and West in the Baltic Sea Region – and NATO’s role in this process – and whether this process will come to ease with a parallel between sovereignty and regionality as organising principles for political space, or whether the one will succumb to the other in the course of a prolonged contest.
A Two-Level Analysis of Israel’s Strategy toward Peace during the 1990s
Authors: Mizrahi Shlomo , Mehrez Abraham , Naor Arye
Published: July 2021

This paper suggests a two-level game analysis of Israel’s strategy toward peace during the 1990s. The paper shows how various paradoxes in Israeli society create domestic obstacles and internal opposition that weaken Israel’s bargaining position toward neighboring countries. Treating domestic parameters in these countries as a given, we argue that Israeli leaders can hardly use this weakness to manipulate information in the bargaining process, because neighboring countries can observe Israel’s internal processes. Therefore, attempts by Israeli leaders to create the impression that they are willing to adopt a conflictual approach towards neighboring polities, especially the Palestinians, without actually creating the necessary internal conditions for such a policy, may finally lead to a sub-optimal equilibrium for Israel – in terms of territory and deterrent ability – since it will have to compromise under difficult conditions. Several practical implications as to the preferred bargaining process under these conditions follow.
Peace Architecture
Authors: Reychler Luc
Published: July 2021

In the sixties the green and the peace movements alerted the international community of the deterioration of the environment and of the danger of nuclear conflicts. Since then, the green movement has been transformed into political parties, departments, jobs, environmental impact assessments and several international regimes. The first publication of the Club of Rome in 1972, Limits of Growth, had a catalyzing effect for raising life and death questions that confront mankind and claiming that planetary planning was the most important business on earth (Meadows 1972). The peace movement, on the other hand, evolved differently. There were some peak moments such as the peace marches in the eighties, but the impacts were weaker and less decisive. One explanation is that the peace movement had to cope with the strong bureaucracies of foreign offices and of defense departments that claimed the expertise. Another explanation is that a great deal of the peace movement does not define peace as a collective good. Being removed from the embedded conflict gives a false sense of apartness making some conflicts seem irrelevant to societies at peace. The possibility of cruise missiles hitting peaceful countries caused huge peace marches; the snipers in Sarajevo did not. A third reason is that costs of violence continue to be underestimated because of inadequate estimates of the price of failed conflict prevention (Reychler 1999a).
Environmental Work and Peace Work: The Palestinian-Israeli Case
Authors: Chaitin Julia , Obeidi Fida , Adwan Sami , Bar-On Dan
Published: July 2021

This paper, based on a larger study that was carried out by a joint Palestinian – Israeli research team before and during the Al Aqsa Intifada, examines Israeli and Palestinian non-governmental organizations (NGOs) that have worked on joint environmental projects. We focus here on three jointly run Palestinian – Israeli NGOs, 16 Israeli organizations and 12 Palestinian organizations that engaged in cooperative work, looking at the kind of work they did, their perceptions of the causes of environmental damage and its connection to the conflict, their perceptions of the roles of NGOs within their societies, and obstacles encountered in cooperative work. Data about the NGOs were collected through face-to-face audio taped interviews, their publications, and from their websites. Results showed that while the Israeli and Palestinian NGOs agree that joint work is needed to address ecological problems, they differ in their reasons for working together, their perceptions of the sources of environmental deterioration, the roles that NGOs should be taking within their society, the relationship of the Israeli – Palestinian conflict to the state of the environment, and the effect that a final peace agreement would have on solving these problems. It was concluded that the “environmental narratives” of the two sides differ greatly, and that the establishment of a “culture of peace” is a very long-term process.
The Determinants of Lebanese Attitudes Toward Palestinian Resettlement: An Analysis of Survey Data
Authors: Haddad Simon
Published: July 2021

A principal goal of this study has been to assess the impact of social distance on attitudes towards Palestinian resettlement using comprehensive cross-cultural survey research. The results are clear and consistent for all Lebanese sub-groups. Social distance is a significant predictor of attitudes toward resettlement for all six sub-groups examined. Specifically, social distance is inversely and consistently associated with unfavorable attitudes toward the prospect of the permanent settlement of Palestinian refugees in Lebanon. These findings indicate on one hand, that the majority of Sunnis and Druze respondents endorse communal ties with Palestinians and approve their permanent economic, social and political integration. However, social distance influence political attitudes toward Palestinian resettlement, namely in the case of Christian and Shii groups. Hence, for most Lebanese the question is about their own political survival not Palestinian resettlement If the actual perceptions stand, resettlement will create a potential for communal conflict and will affect the social cohesion of the society.
Virulent Ethnocentrism and Conflict Intractability: Puzzles and Challenges for 3rd Party Intervenors
Authors: Sandole Dennis
Published: July 2021

This article addresses complex identity-based conflicts, such as those associated with the ending of the Cold War (e.g., Bosnia). It suggests that in many identity-based conflicts, historical memories of outrage and victimhood ("chosen traumas") have persevered across centuries, thereby keeping the conflicting parties "in history." The paper examines the role of virulent ethnocentrism in such intractable conflicts. It also examines the role of "nature" and "nurture" in embedding the universal tendency for humans to divide their species into "them" and "us" within a highly charged emotional context. The paper argues that the complexity of these conflicts has at least four dimensions which challenge the skills and good intentions of third parties: 1. Under stress parties' affective level (limbic brain) tends to override their cognitive level (neocortical brain), thereby enhancing the likelihood of experiencing "feeling is believing" instead of "seeing is believing." Parties may then not be susceptible to the efforts of third parties which often occur at the cognitive level. Such efforts do not necessarily "trickle down" to the affective level where "chosen traumas" are buried. 2. Third parties may have to first deal with an original, historical conflict (e.g., Turkey-Armenia, 1915) before they can deal with one of its more recent variations (Azerbaijan-Armenia, 1990s). 3. Analytically, third parties should employ comprehensive approaches to "capturing the complexity" of historically-/identity-based conflicts. Otherwise their intentions to "do no harm" may not only fail, but may make matters worse. 4. Effective third party intervention may then call for coordination among "multitrack" actors performing different roles at the same or at different points in time; in effect, the collaboration and "co-evolution" of approaches corresponding to otherwise competing paradigms (e.g., Political Realism, Idealism, Marxism, Non-Marxist Radical Thought [NMRT})

Editor’s Reflections: Peacemaking among Helping Parties
Authors: Yang Honggang
Published: July 2021

I would like to take this opportunity to initiate a dialogue over some issues of conflict management among ourselves as third parties or helping professionals. The challenges of managing interpersonal conflicts or performing internal peacemaking are as real and relevant as the challenges of our professional undertaking in handling “outside” disputes. While recognizing there are no ready formulae to address these challenges, I invite you to join in the open-minded dialogues to examine expectations and premises often assumed among helping professionals in the fields.
Análise da fotoatividade de fibras de TiO2 observadas através da descoloração do corante alaranjado de metila
Authors: Da Silva Luana Góes Soares , Alves Annelise Kopp
Published: July 2021

O alaranjado de metila é um corante aniônico pertencente ao grupo dos azocorantes, muito empregado em ensaios de fotocatálise heterogênea. Sua utilização adquiriu relevância, devido ao fato dos corantes sintéticos, mais especificamente os corantes azo serem os contaminantes responsáveis por aproximadamente 10-20% da poluição dos efluentes. Estes resíduos podem gerar subprodutos perigosos resultantes da oxidação, hidrólise ou outras reações químicas. A sua elevada estabilidade química, dificulta a ação de tratamentos convencionais na purificação de águas contaminadas. A utilização da fotocatálise heterogênea se insere dentro deste contexto, pois além de ser um tratamento eficiente para a diminuição da toxicidade de águas superficiais contaminadas também não polui o meio ambiente com a geração de subprodutos. Neste processo, radicais hidroxila são gerados através da excitação de semicondutores, constantemente expostos a luz solar ou artificial. Na fotocatálise heterogênea a excitação do semicondutor ocorre através da absorção de fótons, com energia maior ou igual a energia de band gap, ocasionando a promoção do elétron da banda de valência (BV) para a banda de condução (BC), gerando assim o par elétron/lacuna. Dentre os vários semicondutores empregados como fotocatalisadores, o mais comumente utilizado na degradação/mineralização de poluentes orgânicos é o TiO2. Fotocatalisadores são sólidos semicondutores que se caracterizam por converterem a energia contida em fótons (luz) em energia eletroquímica disponível em um sistema químico, tanto para oxidação, como para a redução de compostos ou espécies químicas (íons). Diversas moléculas se mostraram capazes de promover a fotocatálise, entre elas o ZnO e o TiO2. O dióxido de titânio é um semicondutor do tipo n que possui três formas alotrópicas, anatase, brookita e rutilo. É utilizado comercialmente como um material para conferir opacidade às tintas, cosméticos, plásticos e papéis. A presente proposta, tem como objetivo a síntese de nanoestruturas de TiO2 através da técnica de electrospinning, utilizando polivinilpirrolidona e tetraisisopropóxido de titânio como reagentes precursores. Após a síntese das fibras, o material obtido foi tratado termicamente em diferentes temperaturas para análise microestrutural através da microscopia eletrônica de varredura (MEV), das fases presentes através da difração de raios X (DRX), da energia de band gap por espectroscopia de reflectância difusa (ERD) e a atividade fotocatalítica. Acompanhou-se a degradação do corante alaranjado de metila em presença das fibras de dióxido de titânio sob iluminação UV-A. Observou-se que a formação e a presença majoritária da fase anatase é um fator fundamental para a maior atividade fotocatalítica das fibras nanoestruturadas de TiO2.

Hydro-Hegemony Framework: A study of the India Pakistan trans-boundary water competition and cooperation
Authors: Hussain Munawar , Khalid Munazza , Imran Sumeera
Published: July 2021

After the independence of Pakistan and India in 1947, both the newly established states submerged in many tensions leading to competition in many areas. One such area is the hydro competition between the two closely bordering states. Within this context, India and Pakistan kicked by perianal security dilemma at all levels. India is diverting water from western rivers, which is not permissible for India in Indus Water Treaty (IWT). The Purpose of this study is to find out the reason/s that why India is behaving in this way? This is an applied research within the context of Hydro-Hegemony Framework (HHF) theory. According to the theory, India is behaving hydro-hegemonically because of the three reasons stated by Hydro-Hegemony Framework; firstly, because of Indian advantageous upper-riparian geographical position; secondly, because of Indian superior technical potential and ability to construct a lot of dams; thirdly power asymmetry exists between India and Pakistan. India because of these three main reasons is desirous to get “Consolidated Water Control” over three western rivers assigned to Pakistan by Indus Water Treaty. Indian endeavours to get water dominance would complicate its relations with Pakistan. Indian hydro-hegemony would impact Pakistan’s economy, hydro-power generations projects, agriculture sectors and domestic hydro-usage

Experiências de escrita e escuta literária na cosmologia indígena com crianças em diferentes contextos culturais
Authors: Miranda Marina Rodrigues , Vago-Soares Maria Angélica
Published: July 2021

Trata este texto de um estudo direcionado às culturas das cosmologias indígenas na referência de duas diferentes culturas de infâncias. A primeira constituída com crianças da etnia indígena Pataxó da Comunidade Indígena Pé do Monte, Monte Pascoal, BA; a segunda com crianças de um Centro Municipal de Educação Infantil, do município de Serra, ES.  No verte da pesquisa com crianças Pataxó, o objetivo foi conhecer as suas cosmovisões nos conhecimentos de origens. O outro objeto de discussão foi tecido a partir de exercícios pedagógicos com uma literatura indígena de infância que foi produzida a partir do primeiro estudo. Nesta circularidade, este estudo analisa os dois campos de conhecimentos constituídos em exercício multifacetado, compondo a narrativa etnográfica destes processos. Os conhecimentos abordados das produções culturais constituíram uma pesquisa qualitativa com crianças, na qual foram analisadas as suas narrativas de conhecimentos cosmológicos na referência dos povos nativos nos episódios interativos culturais nas escolas de educação indígena e na educação formal. As discussões estão ancoradas nos estudos culturais de alguns autores indígenas e na sociologia da infância, que reconhece a criança como sujeito social ativo e provedores de culturas. O texto enfatiza o reconhecimento e a valorização das diferenças étnicas arroladas pelo contributo literário nos dois lócus de pesquisa. O que subjaz a discussão é a desconstrução dos processos de opressões coloniais tecendo estigmas de violação das populações indígenas que ainda permanecem no imaginário dos que pensam o mundo especificamente eurocentrado.

Published: July 2021

Trying to understand the environment and the existence as it exists is one of the most primary needs of the human nature and this brought together the name and naming tradition. Naming about feeding, which is essential for the existance of life, is especially interesting. Food and drink vocabulary which is created by not only naming what exists but it is also created by what they are made of is very rich in material in terms of the cultural elements which it reflects. Because Traditions, social lives of nations, as well as the place they live, in short, all of their cultural materials take part in the creation of the naming proccess of their foods and drinks. Literary products are without doubt is among the other works where we can easily acquire an idea about a nation‟s social life. In our literature, especially in divans, which divan poets lay information about nearly everything related to their relevant periods, are rich research areas for researchers. In this study, food names which take place in the divans of the 18. Century writer Ġbrahim Tırsî‟s divan, are examined. The study only consists of food materials. “Food and drink names” in general, are not included. In Ġbrahim Tırsî‟s divan, a total of 55 different food names are categorised under 9 sub-categories including; “Soups, meat meals, meaty vegetable meals, vegetable meals, pilaffs, böreks, bread, çörek, pides, pickles, salads and the vocabulary of these sub-categories‟ usage in our contemporary lives is also mentioned. In light of this example from Tırsî Divan, the usage of the food vocabulary in the divan tradition is tried to be determined.

Published: July 2021

The medicinal plants are important source for pharmaceutical manufacturing. Medicinal plants & herbal medicines account for a
significant percentage of the pharmaceutical market. As the side effects of Synthetic medicine have started getting more apparent,
majority of formulation are prepared from herbs. The herbal medicines however, suffer from lack of standardization parameters. The main limitation is the lack of standardization of raw materials, of processing methods and of the final products, dosage formulation,
and the non existence of criteria for quality control. Herbal formulations have reached extensive acceptability as therapeutic agents for several diseases. The development of authentic analytical methods which can reliably profile the phytochemical composition, including quantitative analyses of marker/bioactive compounds and other major constituents, is a major challenge to scientists. Standardization is an important step for the establishment of a consistent biological activity, a consistent chemical profile, or simply a quality assurance program for production and manufacturing of herbal drugs.

Published: July 2021

A precise, accurate, highly sensitive, rapid, and reproducible stability HPLC method was developed and validated for the estimation
of Pazopanib Hydrochloride (PAZO) in bulk and tablet dosage form. Decent quality chromatographic separation of Pazopanib
Hydrochloride was done by using Eclipse plus C18 column (4.5 mm i.e. X 150 mm, 3.5µm particle size) (based on 99.99 % ultra-high
purity silica) using mobile phase that containing 0.1 % Orthophosphoric acid: Acetonitrile (55:45 % v\v) at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/minute. The wavelength ?max of PAZO used for the detection was found to be 271.4 nm. The retention time for Pazopanib was found to 1.43 minutes. The PAZO was linear in the concentration range of 2-10 µg/mL (r2 = 0.9999) for HPLC method. The regression equation for PAZO was found to be Y = 700955 x + 28022 for HPLC. The LOD and LOQ were found to be 0.1675 ?g/mL, 0.0552 µg/mL for the HPLC method, respectively. The developed methods are validated in pursuance of ICH Q2 (R1) guidelines. The method was linear, precise, accurate with recoveries in the range of 98 – 102 %, and minimum values of % RSD indicate the accuracy of the method. The % assay of the PAZO was found to be 99.85 ± 1.2, which was in good agreement with the labeled claim. Pazopanib was subjected to stressed conditions like acidic, basic, oxidative, photolytic, and thermal conditions. The degradation results were found satisfactory. The developed gradient RP-HPLC method can be successfully practiced for the routine quality control analysis of PAZO in pharmaceutical tablets and routine quality control analysis.

Ele defende a hipótese de uma integração sintática e enunciativa do gif em tweets, que assim têm o status de tecnografismos, em que a ordem verbal e a ordem icônica não são mais distintas, mas articuladas em um elemento composto. Utilizando uma série de exemplos de tuítes com gifs fixos ou animados, mostro que o gif está no centro de uma iconização da enunciação que tem implicações teóricas e metodológicas no trabalho da análise do discurso.
A captura de tela nos fios de conversa ampliados no Facebook
Authors: Djilé Donald
Published: July 2021

Este artigo discute as implicações metodológicas da utilização da captura de tela na investigação de corpora digitais nativos. Discute algumas questões relacionadas com a escolha da captura de tela em trabalhos sobre produções discursivas nativas on-line, uma vez que pouquíssimos pesquisadores/as estão interessados/as em fios de conversa ampliados que realcem verdadeiramente as características interativas e participativas da web 2.0. As propostas apresentadas permitem-nos prever uma análise das conversas escritas digitais nativas articuladas em torno da descrição, organização estrutural e funcionamento das várias formas de conversas nativas on-line, com base em protocolos de investigação especificamente concebidos para delas dar conta. Os pesquisadores/as em ciências da linguagem são, portanto, convidados/as a concentrarem-se em conversas digitais escritas nativas caracterizadas por formas de discurso e conversação que fazem parte de uma nova ordem linguística: a ordem tecnolinguística.
Notas semióticas sobre os memes
Authors: Barros Mariana
Published: July 2021

A partir da análise semiótica de memes que circularam, no Brasil, no período da pandemia de covid-19 (entre março de 2020 e fevereiro de 2021), propomos discutir a eficácia dos memes e seus efeitos de sentido. Para isso, selecionamos alguns aspectos que lhes são característicos: sua propagabilidade, que se constrói numa tensão entre replicação e invenção e está diretamente ligada à participação dos internautas em práticas de produção, de leitura e de compartilhamento; seu espírito lúdico, que contribui para a criação, bem como para a manutenção de comunidades; e as condensações de modelos passionais e de ação presentes nos memes.
Experiências de vida, saberes e práticas da tradição no Observatório Etnoformador em Timor-Leste

Quando se pensa as histórias dos povos colonizados submetidos aos conhecimentos hierarquizados e a sua relação com a escola, podemos apontar várias consequências: a naturalização dos problemas encontrados como “não problemas”, a transnacionalização de currículos, a não problematização da realidade, a violência epistêmica, a subalternização dos povos, entre outros.  É preciso pronunciar o mundo para que este volte problematizado, diz Paulo Freire (2005). Este trabalho analisa conhecimentos produzidos por professores formadores da educação básica em dispositivo de formação-ação-investigação, no Observatório Etnoformador em Timor-Leste.  Pretendemos refletir até que ponto os saberes e práticas tradicionais podem contribuir para diferentes leituras e interpretações na perspectiva da educação timoriana. A análise mostra a natureza contextual do conhecimento, a importância e alcance das interpretações e compreensões dos sujeitos sociais e culturais.
Contribuições da literatura popular do Vale do Jequitinhonha para a educação ambiental e educação em ciências de base comunitária
Authors: Camargo Daniel Renaud , Pereira Celso Sánchez
Published: July 2021

Este trabalho reflete sobre as conexões entre uma proposta de Educação de Base Comunitária desenvolvida com comunidades do município de Chapada do Norte (MG), localizado no Vale do Jequitinhonha, e a obra do mestre da cultura popular Gilmar Souza, originário de uma destas comunidades. Por meio de uma investigação sobre a realidade local foi desenvolvida uma proposta educativa contextualizada ao território a partir de um diálogo entre saberes científicos e populares, entre saberes práticos e teóricos. Tal investigação teve por base a perspectiva de Pesquisa Participante defendida pelo sociólogo colombiano Orlando Fals Borda, somada a concepção de Educação Popular Latino-americana e a Abordagem Temática de Paulo Freire, em uma articulação pensada no sentido de criar condições para a construção coletiva de conhecimentos em parcerias com as comunidades. Assim, a partir de uma imersão na realidade local foram identificados temas geradores, memórias bioculturais e informações sobre a História Ambiental desta região, que puderam servir de base para o estabelecimento de discussões contextualizadas ao território em questão. Com base nestes resultados, buscamos aproximações com a obra do mestre de folia de reis Gilmar Souza, representante da comunidade de São Sebastião da Boa Vista. A poesia de Gilmar é pensada a partir de um ponto de vista de dentro das comunidades e reflete a identidade, a cultura e o contexto de sua produção. Assim, tal aproximação aponta o potencial da literatura popular para a construção de uma perspectiva educativa de base comunitária atenta às especificidades do sertão mineiro.Palavras-Chave: Educação de Base Comunitária; Literatura Popular; Vale do Jequitinhonha.

Methodology for the formation of an effective model of state strategic planning and management
Authors: Dauranov I. N. , Kozhumov A. S.
Published: July 2021

The purpose of the work is to substantiate the basic methodological provisions that ensure the development of an effective model of state strategic planning and management. The article analyzes the meaning and significance of the currently used concept of “strategic planning”. As a result, it was concluded that in countries with a centralized unitary form of government, it is more correct to use the term “state strategic planning and management” rather than state strategic planning. “ This is due to the fact that regulation of the activities of enterprises in the corporate sector is carried out by indirect methods. In relation to organizations that are funded from the budget, management is carried out by economic and organizational and legal methods of direct action.The article proposes and substantiates a fundamental model of state strategic planning and management. In addition to traditional elements, which include a mission, a system of goals, a set of means to achieve it, an organizational structure and management mechanisms, it includes an organizational culture. The latter is one of the main and effective strategic tools that ensure consistency in the work of management and the team to achieve established goals. However, in the real practical activities of state bodies, this important element is not included in the regulatory legal documents governing the procedure for the development and implementation of planning, program and project documents. The article provides a system of principles, the requirements of which must be observed when developing strategic documents and the methods corresponding to them. Also, based on the analysis of foreign experience, in particular of the OECD countries, limitations and typical mistakes in the use of strategic planning and management are given.
