La gnose aux débuts de l’islam.Nouvelles recherches sur les shi’ites « extrémistes » (suite et fin)
Authors: Amir-Moezzi Mohammad Ali
Published: July 2021

Si l’on s’en tient à cette lettre attribuée à l’imam Ja‘far (voir l’Annuaire de l’année dernière), confirmée par beaucoup d’autres textes comme on l’a vu, le signe distinctif des shi‘ites extrémistes et leur chef d’accusation principal aurait été l’antinomisme dans le sens de l’abandon des devoirs cultuels et la transgression des interdits religieux (ibāḥa, tark al‑takālīf, taḥlīl al‑muḥarramāt, etc.). Un tel contenu semble confirmer ce qu’on disait l’année dernière, à savoir que parmi les grandes thèses de ghulūw condamnées par les hérésiologues de tous bords, seule la justification de l’antinomisme est complètement absente du corpus doctrinal de l’imamisme dit « modéré ».

Beyond the diffusion of neoliberalism: Embedded reasoning and policy innovation in the origins of Argentinian currency board
Authors: Heredia Mariana , Nemiña Pablo
Published: July 2021

Suffering from high rates of inflation since the 1940’s and having experienced two hyperinflations at the end of the 1980s, Argentina faced in 2019 an increase of prices of more than 50%. But in the 1990s, Argentina achieved at once prices stability and growth. Which were the sources of such an immediate change? Which lessons can be drawn from this experience? As in the 1990s Argentina adopted deep market reforms, stability could be considered an achievement of neoliberal diffusion. Not only international forces were driving forces for the change; the International Monetary Found (IMF) celebrated the success and invited other emerging nations to imitate it. Nevertheless, this perspective underestimates the importance of local context in the history of neoliberal reforms and overestimates the coherence of external forces. Through the analyses of testimonies of Argentine and foreign officials and the study of declassified documents from the IMF, this paper argues that stability was only archived after the adoption of a currency board, which was against the recommendation of most foreign officials. Instead of a simple top-down transposition of ideas, the Argentinian case reveals the importance of technocrats’ agency. Their local innovation not only made the diffusion of neoliberalism possible, it also turned currency board into one of the global anti-inflationist recipes recommended to other countries, despise its heavy consequences.
Empresas británicas, francesas y belgas en los mercados de distribución de gas y agua en la España cantábrica del siglo XIX: el caso de Santander
Authors: Fernandez Alexandre
Published: July 2021

A mediados del siglo XIX, incluso cuando el gas de iluminación y el moderno sistema de distribución de agua potable estaban firmemente establecidos en Gran Bretaña, Bélgica y las regiones industrializadas de Francia, los empresarios de estos tres países recurrieron a las ciudades españolas para instalar estas nuevas técnicas. Entre ellos, los pueblos de la costa cantábrica – todavía de tamaño medio, pero en medio de un período de dinamismo demográfico y económico – parecen a los empresarios extranjeros mercados que podrán ser interesantes. En este artículo intentaremos describir las condiciones para la constitución de empresas extranjeras – francesas a expensas de las británicas para el gas en Santander (como en Bilbao), belgas para el agua potable en Santander – y precisar los tipos de inversión correspondientes.

Authors: Bera Abhijit , Ghose Mrinal Kanti , Pal Dibyendu Kumar
Published: July 2021

Multilingual Sentiment analysis plays an important role in a country like India with many languages as the style of expression varies in different languages. The Indian people speak in total 22 different languages and with the help of Google Indic keyboard people can express their sentiments i.e reviews about anything in the social media in their native language from individual smart phones. It has been found that machine learning approach has overcome the limitations of other approaches. In this paper, a detailed study has been carried out based on Natural Language Processing (NLP) using Simple Neural Network (SNN) ,Convolutional Neural Network(CNN), and Long Short Term Memory (LSTM)Neural Network followed by another amalgamated model adding a CNN layer on top of the LSTM without worrying about versatility of multilingualism. Around 4000 samples of reviews in English, Hindi and in Bengali languages are considered to generate outputs for the above models and analyzed. The experimental results on these realistic reviews are found to be effective for further research work.

In this study, the reliability of the solder joints of a heterogeneous integration of one large chip (10 × 10 mm) and two smaller chips (7 × 5 mm) by a fan-out method with a redistribution layer-first substrate fabricated on a 515 × 510-mm panel is investigated. Emphasis is placed on the thermal cycling test (−55°C Δ 125°C, 50-min cycle) of the heterogeneous integration package on a printed circuit board (PCB). The thermal cycling test results are plotted into a Weibull distribution. The Weibull slope and characteristic life at median rank are presented. At 90% confidence, the true Weibull slope and the true 10% life interval are also provided. A linear acceleration factor is adopted to map the solder joint reliability at the test condition to the solder joint reliability at an operating condition. The failure location and failure mode of the PCB assembly of the heterogeneous integration package are provided and discussed. A nonlinear, time- and temperature-dependent 3-D finite element simulation is performed for the heterogeneous integration PCB assembly and correlated with the thermal cycling test results.

Intensive care is expensive, and availability is limited. Low- and middle-income countries in particular have struggled to cope with the large influx of critically ill patients during the COVID-19 pandemic. Noninvasive respiratory support devices delivering continuous positive airways pressure (CPAP) require less resource and staff expertise compared with invasive mechanical ventilators and can be routinely used outside of intensive care units. This study assessed the use of the UCL-Ventura Wayrachi CPAP device in hospitalized patients with COVID-19 in Peru. A secondary analysis of data collected for a feasibility study commissioned by the Peruvian Ministry of Health was conducted. Data were collected from three hospitals, including patient demographics, clinical data, and outcomes. Forty-five patients were enrolled from July 16 to September 1, 2020. Eight patients (18%) were intolerant of the CPAP mask. Of the remainder, 18 (48.7%) improved and were discharged from hospital after 6 days. Eight (21.6%) died while on CPAP and 11 (29.7%) were eventually intubated, of whom two died. In total, 27 (60%) survived to hospital discharge. Participating physicians noted the device was easy to use and provided patient benefit, though voiced concerns about the strain on hospital oxygen supplies. In conclusion, the UCL Ventura Wayrachi CPAP device proved feasible in COVID-19 patients in Peru, and offered a bridging therapy for patients who required a ventilator when none were available.
Geophysical investigation of the Orle River fracture system in Igarra Township, southwestern Nigeria
Authors: Aminu Muslim B.
Published: July 2021

The subsurface structure and propagation geometry of the fracture system controlling the Orle River Channel in the Igarra Township, Southwestern Nigeria, have been investigated via a multi-method geophysical survey. The goal was to delineate the nature, distribution, and spatial propagation geometry of the fracture system and evaluate its potential to serve as storage and distribution features for groundwater within adjoining areas. 2D electrical resistivity, total field magnetic, and co-planar loop conductivity measurements were collected along four traverses using an ABEM1000 Terrameter unit, a GEMS Magnetometer, and an EM34 Co-planar loop electromagnetic system. Traverses were established to run across and parallel to the river channel. The observed electrical resistivity field data were inverted for subsurface 2D resistivity structure using a commercially available 2.5D finite element modelling inversion software. Magnetic field intensity data and ground conductivity data were presented against station positions. Three subsurface layers were delineated at the survey site; (1) surficial humus-rich and wet top-soil, (2) a thin poorly developed weathering layer, and (3) the fresh bedrock which occurs as relatively shallow levels and often outcrops. The River channel is controlled by multiple fractures usually located at or near the contracts between contrasting rock types. Fracture dip is usually in the northerly direction but conjugates, dipping southwards also occur in the most northerly extremes of the imaged fracture system. Upstream the fracture path is wider and along with the imaged overburden, isjuxtaposed northwards of the channel axis suggesting a much broader river channel in the geologic past. Low aperture fractures imaged tangential to channel axis likely serve to funnel surface and groundwater from the channels to the surrounding areas. Where such low aperture fractures can be delineated, they offer the best chances of groundwater abstraction within adjoining areas, particularly during the dry season.

Published: July 2021

The landslides of the Lagam escarpment, Kaben Location, Marakwet, Elgeyo Marakwet County, are not only recurrent but are highly cataclysmic; causing mayhem whenever they occur. The first known landslides on the Lagam escarpment of Kaben location -Marakwet, happened during the 1961 El-Nino, when a major rainstorm hit the area (Kiptungu). These landslides re-fashioned Embosumer River and left huge boulders scattered over many farmlands. In 2010, a catastrophic landslide hit Kaben location and again, Embosumer River was the perpetrator, having broken its banks due to excessive water inflow. Many lives were lost and lots of property was destroyed. In 2020, heavy rains pounded the area causing massive mudslides that involved many rivers and streams; such as Embosumer, Emboreberwo and Karengor. As a result, twenty-six (26) lives were lost, homes, schools and farmlands were washed away and to date, there are several bodies believed to be trapped in the mudslide material. This study is geared towards investigating the causes of the recurrent landslides and proposing possible mitigation measures. Data was collected through secondary data analysis and has been presented in the form of ground photographs, satellite images and discussions made thereon. It is hoped that this preliminary study of the Lagam escarpment landslides will create awareness pertaining to the recurrent landslides and draw positive action from the area residents and all concerned.

Authors: Jeminatu Aliu Okpo , Kiamuke Itiowe , Oghenero Avwenagha Enivwenaye
Published: July 2021

Clay soil samples from the Afo-Okpella and Okpekpe in parts of the southern Niger Delta were analyzed for their geochemical composition, mineralogical and geotechnical characteristics. X-ray fluorescence analysis, x-ray diffraction analysis and index property tests were carried out to determine elemental composition, mineralogical nature and geotechnical attributes of the clay. The XRF reveals that SiO2 and Al2O3 are the predominant oxides. The XRD analysis shows that kaolinite is the predominant clay mineral with varying amount of quartz also traces of illite, smectite. The geotechnical index test shows that the clay soil samples studied also contains considerable amounts of silt-size particles (18%-70%) which makes them unsuitable in their raw state for use as fillers, raw materials in the paint industries. The clays were generally of medium to high plasticity and medium to high compressibility, however the classification of degree of expansion as regard to percentage linear shrinkage places the entire clay bodies studied in the critical degree of expansion. The study reveals that they are good for the production of quality bricks, ceramics and other industrial usage such as rubber, paper and paint industries.

Authors: Srivastava Kriti , Saini Prashant
Published: July 2021

Application of solar energy to purify the water is advancing rapidly since it is an attractive alternative because of its simple technology; non-requirement of skilled labor for maintenance work, low energy consumption and no fuel is required for operating such water purification unit. This paper deals with the performance evaluation of the solar water purification at Mechanical Engineering Department MMMUT Gorakhpur, India. To perform this experiment, parabolic trough of fixed rim angle and length is considered. Based upon rim angle and length other pertinent parameters are calculated and selection of materials for fabrication of the unit is done. After that solar water purifier unit is fabricated. The solar parabolic collector utilizes the concentrating solar power technology to concentrate the solar insolation. The performance of parabolic trough is evaluated by considering the effect of glass cover on the concentrator. Various results are plotted between the temperature of the fluid and time keeping other parameters held fixed. Further a comparative study is performed for solar water purification unit with and without glass cover. The purity of water is measured based on its pH value and total dissolved solid (TDS).

Published: July 2021

Background: Tablets must be able to release the active drug in the gastrointestinal tract for absorption. The release profile of solid pharmaceutical dosage formulations can be quantified by assessing the disintegration and dissolution times tests. Binders are adhesives either from sugar or polymeric material that are added to tablet formulations to provide the cohesiveness required for the bonding together of the granules under compaction to form tablets.Objective: The objective of the study was to formulate and assess ibuprofen tablets using different concentrations of binders (Acacia and Gelatin).Methods: The granules were prepared using wet granulation method and analysed for flow properties based on USP/NF protocols. After granule compression, the tablets release profiles were thereafter assessed via the tablet dissolution and disintegration tests.Results: Weight variation, thickness and diameter were within the acceptable values for all batches indicative of a uniform flow. Batches with binder concentrations of 10 % and 20 % failed disintegration test due to a disintegration time above 15 min while the release rate for batches 1 and 4 was about 88 % in 60 min as against the other batches whose release rate was less than 50 % in 60 min as a result of increasing their binder concentrations.Conclusion: The study concluded that increasing the concentration of acacia and gelatin above 5% led to a decrease in percentage of drug released and an increase in disintegration time above 30 mins because 5% batches gave the best release profiles.

Protection of Natural Wetlands through Landscape Design in Kigali City
Authors: Tafahomi Rahman , Nadi Reihaneh
Published: July 2021

The city of Kigali has been experiencing rapid growth in recent years. The city enjoys a variety of natural features such as wetland, valley, hill, and great scenery, however, fast expansion of urban areas and human activities could pose a serious threat to the natural environment, and the ecological sustainability. While wetlands, as nature’s kidneys, bring obvious benefits to both ecology and the socioeconomic environment, they have currently faced several problems in Kigali, such as pollution and the risk of decline in the area. This research is aimed at protection of wetland areas through landscape design, which could have a positive influence on maintaining the natural balance of ecology, as well as citizens’ health and well-being. The site study was Kiyovu wetland as one of large wetlands playing a vital role in the city’s character and spatial structure. The research employed observation, questionnaire, and mapping techniques, and the random sample consisted of 37 residents, workers, passers-by, and young people. Findings revealed that safety, environmental issues, accessibility, recreational activities, and quality of the wetland, were significant factors in order of priority that respondents had stressed over the design of the wetland landscape concept. The proposed concept highlighted recreation areas and the connection with other wetlands and green areas as a whole in the city, and it was derived from survey, mapping the results of questionnaires, and feedback from participants. In conclusion, Kiyovu wetland has an enormous capacity to put the idea of green magnet into effect across the city. However, the protection of wetlands without 1. Site-specific ecological landscape plans representing strategic and design levels in periods of time, 2. Legal requirements, and 3. Public awareness about impacts of wetlands degradation would be far less effective. To set up a campaign and a task force to examine changes can make a huge difference to levels of progress and performance

The study investigated effects of different depths of tillage on flow of runoff in watersheds on fields tilled and planted with maize (Zea mays) hybrids and open pollinated variety (OPV) of maize. Twelve 1 m × 1 m × 2 m pits were dug and overlaid at all sides and at its bottom with impermeable membrane to accumulate watershed’s runoff from the fields. Twelve compartmental plots of 400 m2 each comprising 2 depths of tillage (0-15 cm and 0-30 cm) and 2 varieties of maize (hybrids and open pollinated) were used. Each of the treatments was replicated thrice to make 2 × 2 × 3 factorial design. Each plot measured 4 m × 10 m at 2 m apart. Among the data collected were the volume of water accumulated in the small earthen pits dug, flow velocity (v m/s) of water in runoff channels/collectors that fed earthen pits, slopes of the collectors, cross-sectional area of collectors and wetted perimeter. Results revealed that average infiltrometer values of 15.00±0.24 mm/h and 16.50±0.40 mm/h respectively in the upper part and the lower part were recorded. The 0-15 cm depth of tillage accumulated more volume of runoff water than the 0-30 cm depth of tillage in the pits and it was 23.33% higher in the lower depth of tillage used on the field than the 0-30 cm depth of tillage. Implying that 0-30 cm tillage depth retained more water from the rainfall compare to the water retained by the 0-15 cm depth. Even though, volume of runoff water of 0-15 cm depth of tillage was higher than that of the 0-30 cm depth of tillage, 0-15 cm depth of tillage had the highest yield of maize (9.30±4.26 t ha-1).

Published: July 2021

Mouse Zinc finger domain-containing protein19 (ZMYND19) is a zinc-finger protein questioned after recently published data reported its C-terminal domain of 49 residues to be associated with cancer, obesity and cardiovascular diseases. The potent drugs are suggested to come from its interactions with ligands understanding. However, the diseases are becoming worse because the three-dimensional structure of Mouse ZMYND19 is not yet reported. Thus, this study analyzed structural interactions between the predicted 3D structure and cofactor products S-Adenosyl homocysteine (AdoHcy) using the computational approaches. Pairwise sequence alignment was performed in the iterated mode of protein blast against protein data bank (PDB) and CLUSTAL omega server was used to perform multiple sequence alignment. Phylogenetic analysis was performed using the PHYLIP package. Structure prediction was successfully completed with the use of SWISS model by exploring homology modeling. The predicted Model structure was evaluated using both ERRAT and PROCHECK servers. Docking studies were performed with the HEX8 package. The evaluation results of the predicted 3D structure suggest that the model is of good quality. Docking studies revealed a high affinity (– 214.24 KjMol-1) between the predicted 3D model and AdoHcy ligand. The interaction between the bound molecules suggests both compounds to be good candidates for cancer, obesity, cardiovascular diseases, thus these two compounds could be considered at the frontline for a potent drug development.
A Mixed Study on the Somatic Mindfulness Meditation of College Students －Focused on Mindfulness, Body Awareness, and Ego-resilience
Authors: Kang hwa , Kim anna
Published: July 2021

This study examined the effects that a somatic mindfulness course had upon the body awareness, ego-resilience and mindfulness of college students. The participants included 91 students attending C college, located in Gyeonggi-do. 51 students were assigned to a somatic mindfulness meditation course, and 40 students (the control group) were assigned to a humanities course, without any mindfulness and body awareness training involved. The results of mindfulness, body awareness, and ego-resilience upon the two groups were assessed in week 1, and again when the course was over after 14 weeks. Homogeneity using a variance test, the mean, the standard deviation, and a mixed ANOVA were performed using the SPSS 2.0 program. In parallel with this, a focus group interview was conducted with eight students in order to evaluate their personal experience of the somatic mindfulness meditation course, along with their experience of practicing the course’s techniques at home. Finally, the study assessed any changes that the students might have felt as a result of taking this course. The students were selected based on their attitude toward the course, their attendance record, and their home practice rate.
The quantitative data results showed that in all mindfulness (F=10.531, p<.01), body awareness (F=19.867, p<.001), and ego-resilience (F=4.349, p<.05), the interaction effects between the groups, and the time of assessment, were statistically significant. Based on the qualitative analysis, the results were classified into four areas: 1) physical, 2) emotional, 3) cognitive, and 4) everyday life, as well as into 15 subcategories. The subcategories included ‘decrease of mind-body discomfort’ in the physical area, ‘being able to maintain some distance from negative emotions’, ‘reduced frustration’ in the emotional area, ‘being aware of differences between thoughts and reality’, ‘becoming generous with myself’ in the cognitive area, and ‘choosing a meditation method for myself’ in the everyday life area.
The findings indicated that the students managed the stress they experienced from their school work and in their personal lives using what they learned from the course. Based on these results, the use of mindfulness as a way of educating self-care for mental health, and as a tool for future character education at the college level, is further discussed.

Published: July 2021

This study aims to analyze how the perception of the extracurricular program differs according to both the grade level of the students and the campus being attended. The results of this study are as follows: concerning DIF by grade level, the perception of the extracurricular program was higher for students in the first grade in regards to 1 item pertaining to the effectiveness of their extracurricular work, and 2 of the items connected to the effectiveness of the online extracurricular program. Moreover, the perception of the extracurricular program was higher for students in the 2nd, 3rd and 4th grades regarding the 4 items requiring the improvement of the extracurricular program. Second, concerning DIF(Differential Item Functioning) by campus, the results are as follows: students attending a campus in Suwon answered higher when it came to the recognition of 1 item within their extracurricular work, while students attending a campus in Seoul answered higher regarding 4 items. The 4 items pertaining to the effectiveness of their extracurricular work were higher for Suwon campus students as far as the number of responses were concerned. Students attending the campus in Suwon responded in higher numbers to questions regarding the effectiveness of the online program, just as with their responses regarding their offline work. 1 item regarding the comparison and the improvement of the curriculum was higher for students of the Seoul campus. However, the three questions pertaining to the students attending the Suwon campus were answered in greater numbers.
Through this study, the extracurricular work of students should be operated so that various programs tailored to their needs can be designed. In addition, efforts are needed to qualitatively check and quantitatively supplement online programs that can be taken without any space constraints.

Authors: Yakushenkov Serguey N.
Published: July 2021

The modern development of China is of great interest to researchers from all over the world. Every year a great number of different monographs on different aspects of this country's history, economy, politics and culture appear. In this analysis of contemporary literature in English we decided to choose several monographs devoted to the issues of corporeality in China. The 20th century proved to be, in a great extent, a decisive period for the development of China. During this period many events took place, but most importantly, China was transformed into something new, becoming a highly developed modern power. These changes also affected the issues of corporeality. A significant role in this was played not only by radical changes in Chinese society, but also by contacts with Western culture and, above all, medicine. In this connection we offer our readers several publications that can be conventionally united by one problem: the transformation of the fundamentals of life. The first monograph by the American anthropologist E. Zhang analyzes the transformation of Chinese attitudes toward male health. Both the Maoist and post-Maoist periods are taken into account. But most importantly, Zhang shows how the changing economic and political model of society is also reflected in Chinese men's attitudes to their health, personal desires and needs.

Another monograph discussed in this review is that of American researcher T. Nakajima, devoted to the creation of a modern system of sanitation and hygiene in Shanghai during the Republican period. In this monograph the author shows how the Chinese approach to the public health system was transformed under the influence of external and internal conditions.

This paper is regarding planning a PC-based observance parking system supported IoT that may be applied at the park-like at the searching advanced and offices. This paper focuses on the event of front panel victimization National Instrument's LABVIEW package and Node MCU, Personal Computer (PC), and NODE MCU. The traditional parking lot system doesn't have a board and it cannot show the vacancy of automobile parking space. The user must gamble to hunt any vacancy and need to watch for the opposite automobile to exit from the automobile parking space. Up to the traditional parking system, it'll create the automobile parking space become well organized and user friendly. This paper can produce an automobile detection system by developing a PC-based front panel of parking lot operation knowledge. The system can convert the output from the sensing element to the programmable language to the computer-based mostly board. The board aims to indicate the standing and automobile parking space vacancy. The NODE MCU is employed to supply interfacing between hardware and package. By victimization Lab, VIEW, and Node MCU, the simulation of the physical system will be developed to watch the quantities to be measured and the standing of the instrumentation within the plant from remote purposes while not accessing the inaccessible areas of the plant. Through the traditional parking system victimization Lab VIEW and Node MCU, the front panel is with success developed and explained by planning a physical model of automobile parking space with automobile detector operation. These PC-based observance systems will be applied in varied industrial applications like building security systems and mill automation.
História do Tempo Presente, narrativas e homossexualidade: os casos de Pierre Seel e Rudolf Brazda como sobreviventes do Holocausto
Authors: Siqueira Gonçalves Mateus Henrique
Published: July 2021

O presente artigo expõe a construção do ambiente que possibilitou a manifestação das narrativas homossexuais de Pierre Seel e Rudolf Brazda enquanto sobreviventes do Holocausto; por quais meios eles emergem e se relacionam com a História do Tempo Presente e como essa categoria pode ser encarada como uma forma de expressão da experiência traumática. Para que isso fosse possível, cotejei ambas as obras (“Eu, Pierre Seel, deportado homossexual” e “Triângulo Rosa: um homossexual no campo de concentração nazista”) em uma leitura atenta aos marcadores sociais comuns para esses sujeitos. Os pontos de contato comungados entre os documentos analisados, uma autobiografia de 1994 e uma biografia de 2010, foram privilegiados para a redação deste texto. O objetivo principal desta análise foi compreender como as narrativas testemunhais desses indivíduos foram consolidadas em espaços de luta sócio-política, reivindicando lugar legítimo no âmbito público, reparações e direitos à memória, à verdade e à justiça. Dentre os resultados, constata-se a realidade da homofobia institucional como empecilho direto no reconhecimento das vítimas homossexuais da perseguição, deportação, encarceramento e extermínio protagonizado pelos nazistas. Mesmo décadas depois da reconstrução da Europa e, consequentemente, desnazificação do seu território, vítimas como os triângulos rosa permaneceram à margem social, encaradas por Estado e sociedade como criminosos comuns.
Sprachmischung: ecos de interdicción y señas de identidad [Sprachmischung: ecos de interdicción y señas de identidad]
Authors: Gaelzer Vejane ,   Instituto Federal Farroupilha - Brasil
Published: July 2021

Buscamos a partir dos acontecimentos históricos de 1930/1940 no Brasil, compreender como políticas de nacionalização linguística do Governo de Getúlio Vargas interferiram nas práticas sociais de imigrantes alemães no que tange a língua. Para tanto, analisamos medidas/decretos do governo varguista e mostramos como a interdição oficial trouxe consequências à vida dos imigrantes. Apesar do esforço/da implementação jurídica do Estado, a língua materna dos imigrantes sobreviveu à proibição e continua viva nas práticas sociais no espaço privado-familiar em algumas comunidades: Sprachmischung. Nosso corpus discursivo é composto por relatos de filhos de imigrantes alemães da região Noroeste do Rio Grande do Sul, que cultivam, no seu imaginário social, elementos de ligação com seus antepassados. Assim, com base na análise discursiva do corpus, percebemos a relação dos sujeitos com a Sprachmischung e o modo como ressoam e ecoam vozes, discursos e memórias atravessadas pela interdição do sujeito pela língua. Para tanto, filiamo-nos à Análise do Discurso, mobilizando o conceito de língua, na sua materialidade linguística, afetada e determinada por fatores históricos, ideológicos e políticos.

Authors: Azmitia Crispín Mario Raúl , Morán Méndez Ana Yasmina
Published: July 2021

La sexualidad es un factor importante y una necesidad en la vida de cada persona, incluyéndose a los adultos mayores, por lo que esta investigación pretendió determinar los factores neurológicos, fisiológicos y psicosociales que influyen en la conducta sexual el adulto mayor. Es importante conocer como la sociedad construye estereotipos, tabúes, estigmas y etiquetas entorno a la conducta sexual del adulto mayor negándoles la posibilidad de ejercer su sexualidad sin caer en prejuicios. Y que este grupo discriminado vivan su sexualidad y la disfruten plenamente.  El estudio fue descriptivo-investigativo y se concluyó que los factores neurológicos, fisiológicos y psicosociales que presentan los adultos mayores repercuten en la conducta sexual, ya que estos impiden que puedan tener una sexualidad satisfactoria, plena y segura.
Pedidos de patentes relacionados à cadeia agroindustrial do milho
Authors: Carvalho Ana Carolina Costa Moreira , Carvalho Eduardo Gomes
Published: July 2021

O milho é uma das principais culturas agrícolas brasileiras e mundiais. Diversos são os produtos derivados desta cultura: pipoca, amido, farinha, óleo, entre outros. Não obstante, diversos subprodutos contribuem para a produtividade neste complexo, como por exemplo, os gerados pela utilização da palha de milho. Este produto também é utilizado como fonte de alimentação em diversos rebanhos, sendo também utilizado como produto intermediário e interferindo na dinâmica de outras cadeias. Muito é investido em pesquisa e desenvolvimento de inovações para o plantio desta cultura, principalmente no exterior, onde esta assume papel de suma importância em determinadas economias, entre elas a norte- americana, onde inclusive este produto é um dos principais insumos da matriz energética, apresentando para um país como o Brasil, uma oportunidade de produção visando a exportação. Como qualquer outra cultura, pode-se afirmar que a qualidade do produto final e a dinâmica e produtividade deste sistema agroindustrial são fortemente influenciadas pelos insumos utilizados e pelos processos empregados na produção rural. Desta forma, inovar em processos, produtos e equipamentos passa a ser imprescindível. Diante disto, este trabalho tem o objetivo de realizar uma análise das patentes, enquanto uma das principais fontes de inovação tecnológica, disponíveis para a produção rural no sistema agroindustrial do milho. Foi realizado o levantamento das informações patentárias na base nacional de patentes do INPI. Foram analisados os registros de depósitos de pedidos de patentes e cultivares realizados ao longo de 5 anos (2007-2011). As características avaliadas foram a evolução do número de depósitos ao longo dos anos, a participação das universidades no número total de depósitos realizados, as classificações de patentes que são mais presentes e a participação por estado no número total de depósitos realizados. Além disto foram verificadas a proporcionalidade de inovações de produtos e processos. A estratégia de busca utilizada na base nacional de patentes do INPI foi a de buscar a palavra milho e analisar cada um dos depósitos de pedidos para verificar se estavam relacionadas à produção rural da cadeia agroindustrial do milho. Ao final percebeu-se que o número de depósitos de pedidos vem caindo e que a participação das universidades inexiste neste âmbito. É claro que a maior parte das tecnologias desenvolvidas estão relacionadas a colheita do produto.
