O(s) sapateado(s) miudinho(s) das sambadeiras do Recôncavo da Bahia
Authors: Maria Aquino de Queiroz Clécia
Published: March 2024

Este artigo, aborda o(s) passo(s) miudinho(s) traçado(s) pelas mulheres do samba de roda do Recôncavo Baiano, a partir de pesquisa com 12 sambadeiras daquela região, com o objetivo de analisar os ritmos traçados pelos pés na roda tradicional, investigando a existência de uma célula rítmica comum a todas elas. O caminho epistemológico foi traçado a partir dos estudos do ritual, da cena e da performance (Schechner,1985; Turner,1986; Bião,1999) e as interações conceituais possibilitadas pela etnografia. Os recursos metodológicos usados foram: entrevistas; fotografias; gravação em vídeos, transcrição de células rítmicas para notação musical. Os estudos de Döring (2016), Amoroso (2009) e Domenici (2011) auxiliaram no entendimento da dinâmica das rodas de samba. A pesquisa me levou à conclusão de que existe um padrão rítmico mais recorrente entre o sapateado das sambadeiras, contudo não é o único e sofre diversas variações e alternâncias durante a performance.

A crise do comum evidencia não apenas a dificuldade em se estabelecer vínculos comunitários, mas também a própria definição do que venha a ser o comum e a comunidade. Nesse sentido, cabe o retorno à discussão, principalmente para estabelecer aspectos que nos auxiliem na identificação das noções de comunidade que mediam nossos vínculos cotidianos, além de investigar possíveis que incitam a criação de afeto e o cultivo de práticas em comunidade, que testam outras formas de relação e interação, sejam elas afetivas, sociais ou cognitivas, que sugerem a possibilidade de superposição entre individual e coletivo, indicando novas formas de vida e relacionamentos: outros modos de estar juntos.
Rohstoff im Wandel: Verfügbarkeiten und Potenziale mineralischer Sekundärrohstoffe
Authors: Schäfer Berthold
Published: March 2024

There are currently great expectations that the circular economy will lead to savings in the use of primary resources and improvements in climate protection. The circular economy should lead to the increased use of secondary raw materials to replace primary raw materials and utilise them in the highest possible quality applications. The construction sector is at the centre of this, as there is a large demand for raw materials on the one hand and considerable quantities of mineral construction waste on the other. This article shows which mineral secondary raw materials are actually available and what additional resource and climate protection potential can be realised through their use.
Praxisbeispiel – Brenner Basistunnel
Authors: Murr Roland
Published: March 2024

The Brenner Basistunnel (BBT) is a bilateral project in the European context, with the aim of facilitating a turnaround in transport along the Brenner corridor by means of a new train infrastructure facility with a flat railway character. As a result, the economic efficiency and ecological compatibility of transport in the European living and economic areas will be improved. As a core section of the high-capacity railway corridor between Stockholm and Palermo, the BBT crosses under the Alps on Austrian and Italian territory. In addition to complex geology, the main technical challenges to be overcome during project realisation are logistical constraints and the limited availability of resources compared to demand. To counteract the limited availability of raw materials, tunnel excavation material was processed as aggregate for concrete in the project. In addition to presenting the project, the following article reports on the prerequisites, the preliminary tests, the realisation and the resulting findings.

The research is quantitative in nature, using primary data. Data collection was conducted with the dissemination of questionnaires to respondents in Greater Jakarta Area who have accessed online platforms to invest in Islamic Mutual Funds. This study then uses SEM-PLS (Structural Equation Modeling-Partial least Square) analysis with SmartPLS software to analyze the data. The study shows that Islamic Financial Literacy and Investment Literacy of Islamic Mutual Funds have a negative and significant influence on the decision to invest in Islamic Mutual Funds Online. While the variables of perception of benefits, technological advances, investment risk and investment return have no influence on the decision to invest in Islamic Mutual Funds Online.

Statistical analysis of Cominform prisoners from the territory of the Autonomous Region of Kosovo-Metohija
Authors: Mirković Ena , Stambolija Nebojša
Published: March 2024

The conflict with the Communist Information Bureau and the severing of allied relations with the Soviet Union marked a turning point in the development of the Communist Party of Yugoslavia. From being a loyal follower of the USSR, Communist Yugoslavia became the first country to develop its own path to socialism, and Josip Broz was the first Communist leader to say a historic no to Josef Vissarionovich Stalin. The consequences of this decision for the country were manifold, on a political, economic, military and social level. One of them was that repression was launched against anyone who expressed sympathy for the USSR or criticized the new Yugoslav policy. The result was the arrest and interrogation of thousands of people "for their real or alleged support for the Cominform" and their punishment and incarceration in prisons and camps throughout Yugoslavia. One of the most famous and notorious was the camp complex on the Adriatic Island of Goli Otok, which was set up for the very purpose of punishing "cominformers" from all over the country. In this paper, we have attempted to statistically analyze the structure of the Goli Otok prisoners from the Autonomous Region of Kosovo-Metohija (AKMO) based on the relevant literature and historical sources.

This randomized control trial assessed the feasibility of adding a Guided Imagery and Music (GIM) group into a residential addiction treatment facility. Either group GIM or an unstructured leisure condition was assigned to 42 adult participants. The study found that adding Group GIM to a structured treatment program was feasible and well received by participants and staff. Assessments included the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Sense of Coherence Scale (SOC), and Importance, Confidence, Readiness (ICR) motivational ruler. There were reductions in BDI and SOC scores for both groups and the ICR motivational level scores remained essentially the same. Retention in treatment was better for the experimental group. The study findings support the feasibility of integrating music therapy into inpatient treatment for addictions.
RE-EXPERIENCING THE PAST THROUGH THE BONNY METHOD OF GUIDED IMAGERY AND MUSIC: MUSIC IMAGERY, EMOTIONAL MEMORY, AND THE BRAIN
Authors: Lee Nan Bok

It describes the relationships between the GIM music program, emotional memory and the brain functions in charge of memory and presents cases of re-experiencing the past and the comments of clients. It demonstrates the role of music in instances where the clients meet with wounded, rejected, and forgotten memories, deal with them, and transform themselves positively through re-experiencing and recalling the past. The recalling experience that calls forth a memory buried deep within for a long period of time is a therapeutic work that allows the present self to stand again and provides a moment of hope in the client’s life that offers them a new future.
An interdisciplinary research method for new models for elderly living environments in an aging society.
Authors: Jürgenhake Dr.-Ing. Birgit , Boerenfijn Peter
Published: March 2024

This study focuses on research about the spatial and social living environment of elderly with care demand. It developed from the urge for new ways of thinking about the design of care for elderly in neighborhoods and houses. In a collaboration between an architectural school of education and a social housing association housing the elderly, an interdisciplinary research method to come to new models for elderly living was developed. The study describes the method and main findings.
In the Netherlands the demographic transition to an aging society runs parallel with transitions in the policy and practice of elderly care. Due to a steep rise in the cost of care and a shortage of staff, care moves away from institutional buildings and organizations towards a more informal support network with professionals in the background. The research questions addressed in this study concern the everyday life of elderly needing care. Within a one-week stay in a nursing- or elderly care home, participating in the daily life, we aim to get answers through anthropological and par-ticipatory research to understand, document and visualize the needs and living conditions of elderly today. Finally, these data are translated into architectural design. We claim that the person whom we design for should be the first to meet and talk to. In that way we learn about their wishes, needs and capabilities. This argument was our starting point of collaboration. Our methodology leads to unexpected results. The study will show main findings and topics of discussion.
Micro Responses to Macro Shocks
Authors: Almuzara Martín , Sancibrián Víctor
Published: March 2024

We study estimation and inference in panel data regression models when the regressors of interest are macro shocks, which speaks to a large empirical literature that targets impulse responses via local projections. Our results hold under general dynamics and are uniformly valid over the degree of signal-to-noise of aggregate shocks. We show that the regression scores feature strong cross-sectional dependence and a known autocorrelation structure induced only by leads of the regressor. In general, including lags as controls and then clustering over the cross-section leads to simple, robust inference.
PATTERNS OF RESIDENTIAL CRIME PREVENTION STRATEGIES: A STUDY IN VILA PLANALTO, BRAZIL
Authors: Matsunaga Lucas Heiki , Goulart Fernanda , Cardoso Machado Caroline , Luiza Neto Ingrid , Günther Hartmut
Published: March 2024

The perception of the public (in)security and residential crime prevention strategies affect the urban design. This study aims to understand the patterns of crime prevention strategies used by the residents of Vila Planalto, Brazil, and evaluating how they might be correlated with the perception of safety in their neighborhood. We evaluated 1.180 houses on-site with a checklist to verify the crime prevention strategies used. Further, 206 randomly selected dwellers were interviewed, concerning their perception of safety in the neighborhood.  Heat Maps showed that areas with high access control offered fewer opportunities for natural surveillance. Multidimensional scaling showed patterns of use of crime prevention strategies. There was no significant correlation between the perception of safety in the neighborhood and the amount of crime prevention strategies in the residence. However, the perception of well-lit was correlated with the perception of safety in walking during night and day. The present study helps identify decisions on crime prevention strategies and provides a prognostic for possible community interventions in the village.

Also, it is related to psychological well-being among adolescents (Marshall, 2001; McCullough, Huebner, & Laughlin, 2000). Although many factors contribute in building and shaping the self-concept in adolescents; but the present research intended to examine the role of Teacher’s feedback on the Self-concept among students. The study was conducted on sample (N=300) of students (M=15.6, SD=1.4); comprising of boys (n=150) and girls (n=150) from the public schools in urban areas of Islamabad, Pakistan. The study instruments; Teacher’s Feedback Scale (Burnett, 2003) and Adolescent’s Self-concept Short Scale (Veiga & Leite, 2016), were translated and adapted by the researcher with permission of original authors. Findings suggest that providing positive feedback about the ability of students predict a positive self-concept explaining 23% variance (DR=.228), whereas negative feedback is the non-significant negative predictor of the self-concept. The gender differences on both scales were also explored. Results can be employed to devise a teaching plan with a focus on positive feedback by teachers and avoiding negative one to help improve the self-concept among the students.

The development of  Capital City of Nusantara (IKN), which is geographically closer to the SULAMPUA region, expected  trigger the SULAMPUA economy, especially the agricultural sector. This study aims to determine the potential agricultural sector in the SULAMPUA region due to IKN development. The study uses IRIO (Inter-Regional Input-Output) from Statistics Indonesia in 2021, specifically for seven agricultural sub-sectors. The SULAMPUA region comprises ten provinces, with the Golden Triangle region comprising South Sulawesi, Central Sulawesi, and West Sulawesi. The results of the study show that no agricultural industry is a strategic sector in the SULAMPUA. Based on the criteria set out in the research, no sector falls into the category of very potential to be developed. The potential sectors to be developed in the SULAMPUA Region are (1) food crops; (2) seasonal and annual plantation crops; (3) livestock; (4) forestry and logging; and (5) fishery. Local governments need to consider policies related to potential agricultural sectors. Because the agricultural sector is a labor-intensive  and the availability of resources.

O presente artigo tem como objetivo analisar a passagem de Linn da Quebrada no reality showBig Brother Brasil (BBB) em 2022. Com o intuito de compreender como sua aparição no programa impactou múltiplos discursos de gênero e de vivência de identidades trans-femininas na sociedade brasileira, a abordagem metodológica desta pesquisa foi inspirada nas doze etapas da Jornada do Herói, teoria criada por Campbell (2007) e usada principalmente para explicar jornadas androcêntricas. Assim, a partir de uma pesquisa explicativa e de um estudo de caso, foi analisada a participação de Linn da Quebrada no BBB e como ela orientou, dentro da sociedade brasileira, múltiplos temas do transgenerismo para além do programa.
A relevância de uma política pública de acesso à justiça aos mais vulneráveis: A alteração de nome diretamente no Cartório de Registro Civil de Pessoas Naturais e o direito ao esquecimento dos transexuais.

Este artigo aborda a relevância de uma política pública de acesso à justiça aos mais vulneráveis, com ênfase no procedimento de alteração de nome e de sexo diretamente no Registro Civil de Pessoas Naturais (RCPN). Tal processo foi facilitado a partir do Provimento nº 73/2018 do Conselho Nacional de Justiça (CNJ), em que tal procedimento passou a ser feito integralmente no Cartório de RCPN, sem intervenção judicial, o que facilitou muito o acesso. Ademais, o direto à liberdade de expressão passa a ser contraposto aos direitos de personalidade, visto que os transexuais desejam ter o direito ao esquecimento aos fatos anteriores à alteração do nome, o que pode gerar um aparente conflito com o direito à informação.
¿Y eso para qué me va a servir? Matemáticas e ingeniería: reflexiones de una profesora de Matemáticas
Authors: Rodríguez Ibarra María Antonieta
Published: March 2024

Las matemáticas son fundamentales en la formación de ingenieros, ya que les permiten modelar y resolver problemas complejos en diversas áreas. Sin embargo, existe un problema en la forma en que se enseñan las matemáticas, donde los estudiantes a menudo no logran identificar la aplicación práctica de los conceptos aprendidos en los primeros semestres. El modelo tradicional de enseñanza de las matemáticas, con un enfoque expositivo en el aula, puede no ser suficiente para preparar a los ingenieros para los desafíos del mundo real. Se plantea la necesidad de incorporar recursos tecnológicos y metodologías de enseñanza más interactivas, como el Aprendizaje Basado en Problemas o el Aprendizaje Basado en Proyectos, que permitan a los estudiantes aplicar las matemáticas en situaciones concretas y relevantes. Las matemáticas en ingeniería deben enseñarse de manera contextualizada y articulada, para que los estudiantes comprendan su utilidad. Para lo cual, el profesorado de matemáticas necesita del conocimiento en la materia y de una sensibilidad hacia la enseñanza de las matemáticas de manera práctica y aplicada. Se plantea un desafío para los educadores de matemáticas: saber qué matemáticas enseñar y cómo enseñarlas de manera efectiva para que los estudiantes dimensionen la relevancia de esta disciplina en su futuro profesional.

Los suelos desempeñan un papel crucial en la nutrición humana, ya que son la principal fuente de nutrientes esenciales, mediante los productos vegetales que consumimos. La presencia y disponibilidad de los nutrientes están directamente relacionados con las caracteristicas fisicoquímicas del suelo. A nivel mundial, los déficits de yodo, zinc, selenio y hierro son reconocidos como problemas de salud pública que afectan a un porcentaje sustancial de la población. Sin embargo, existe poca disponibilidad de estudios que aborden y describan la concentración y disponibilidad de estos elementos en los suelos y en las plantas. Sorprendentemente, incluso en nuestro país, no contamos con estudios básicos como el mapeo regional de la presencia y biodisponibilidad del yodo, selenio, zinc y hierro en los suelos y agua agrícola. Esta falta de información representa un desafío para comprender la situación nutricional y abordar de manera adecuada estas deficiencias en nuestra población, para así poder tomar medidad de prevención mediante la biofortificación y la mejora de la calidad de los suelos agrícolas.

Published: March 2024

The geological structural patterns and hydrothermal alteration zones of Atauro Island, Timor-Leste, which are influenced by the collision mechanism between the Banda Arc and the Australian Continent, are the subject of this study. The study identifies fault types and alteration zones through stereographic analysis. It indicates the possibility of mineralization in the area. Four alteration zones were identified in this study: argillic, Propylitic, calcosite, and geotite. The analysis results show that left-striking and normal faulting were essential in forming these zones. The mineralization zones, mainly chalcopyrite and chalcocite, are related to the north-northeast trending left horizontal Fault. In addition, this study suggests additional research that includes mineralogy, geochemical, and geophysical analyses to understand more about the characteristics of hydrothermal alteration zones and possible mineralization on Atauro Island. The results of this study are expected to improve our understanding of mineral resources in the region, and it is suggested that this information be considered by authorities responsible for the management of potential natural resources on Atauro Island, Timor.
