“I saw! I know! You disgust me…”: Manifestation of Homophobia and Patriarchal Oppression in Tennessee Williams’s Play, A Streetcar Named Desire
Authors: Mandal Ananya
Published: March 2024

A Western heteronormative society hints at its homophobia in diverse manners, but one of the most ubiquitous internalized notions is that of disgust and rejection. This sort of biased sexism fuels the gradual accretion of suicidal rates among LGBTQ youths. Generating homophobic discourses is one of the ways through which a hetero-patriarchal society demonstrates and maintains its power and oppression against sexual minorities and gender subalterns. Hetero-gender-based violence against women and homosexuals is also not uncommon in any society. The present paper aims to explore the manifestations of homophobia and hetero-patriarchal oppression against homosexuals and women in Tennessee William’s play, A Streetcar Named Desire. By delving into the principles of Gender Studies and Queer theories, this paper seeks to investigate the role of compulsory heterosexual and patriarchal norms in the lives of Allan, Blanche, and Stella in victimizing and silencing them violently.
A Study of Verbal Humor in Man with a Plan from the Perspective of Cooperative Principle
Authors: Chen Jingjing
Published: March 2024

Man with a Plan, starring Golden Globe winner Matt LeBlanc, is a distinct representative of American sitcoms. The language in the play is close to real life and extremely humorous. There are a large number of conversational fragments in all kinds of situations that defy the maxim of the cooperative principle and create unexpected humorous effects. This paper attempts to adopt the cooperative principle theory of Grice to analyze the speech phenomenon that violates the cooperative principle in the dramas and figure out the production mechanism of verbal humor and its particularized conversational implicature from the quantity, quality, relation and manner maxims respectively.

Published: March 2024

Sesame seed dregs or residue refers to the byproduct that is left after sesame seeds have been processed to extract oil and can used in a variety of ways. The residues were subjected to spontaneous fermentation for 7 days at room temperature (23-27°C). The purpose of this research was to analyze antimicrobial and antioxidant activity of ethanolic extract obtained from fermented black sesame seed dregs. The diameter of inhibition zones of extracts against 16 pathogenic microorganisms ranged from 6.88 to 11.00 mm and the minimum inhibitory concentrations ranged from 6.25 to 50.00 mg/mL, with the extract being particularly effective against P. aeruginosa ATCC9027 and C. albicans ATCC10231. Minimum bactericidal/fungicidal concentrations were spread from 25.00 to >50.00 mg/mL. P. aeruginosa ATCC9027 and C. albicans ATCC10231 were completely killed in 2 h incubation time at 4 × MIC in a time-kill kinetics assay. In comparison to raw seeds and seed dregs extracts, the fermented seed dregs extract displayed a higher total phenolic content. In addition, the fermented extract had a lower IC50 concentration compared to raw seeds and seed dregs extracts. These results suggest that fermented black sesame seed dregs can be used as an alternative method to reduce the microorganism’s growth. This is crucial for ensuring food safety and minimizing the risk of foodborne poisoning.

Authors: Albasri Hibah M. , Alsharif Sultan M.
Published: March 2024

The COVID-19 outbreak was a serious challenge for countries around the globe. With the objective of mitigating the spread of the virus, both national and international health organizations swiftly enacted quarantine measures across numerous cities around the globe. This presented a unique chance to evaluate the consequences of human actions on the quality of the air. This study aimed to investigate airborne microbial levels in different outdoor locations in Al-Madinah City, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), during the COVID-19 pandemic by comparing lockdown against non-lockdown conditions. Twelve outdoor locations were investigated in terms of microbial total counts using the open plate method during and after the COVID-19 lockdown. Environmental factors that could affect the airborne microbial load, including humidity, temperature and wind speed, were recorded during the assessment. The means of the total colony-forming units (CFU) for each cubic meter (m3) of air were calculated. Lockdown restrictions caused significant decreases in the biological contaminants in all locations compared with the numbers after the pandemic. Gram-positive bacteria represented most of the samples, with fewer fungal strains detected. The outdoor average total bacterial counts ranged between 0.00±0.00-8337.50±248.98 CFU/m3, compared with 2903.75±407.60-19722.50±475.03 CFU/m3 after the pandemic. The mean concentrations of total fungi were lower than those of bacteria and ranged between 0.00±0.00-143.75±131.75 CFU/m3 during the COVID-19 lockdown and were elevated after the lockdown to reach 28.75±49.80-776.25±298.78 CFU/m3. Based on the available data, there are no studies comparing outdoor microbial counts during and after the COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, this research offers additional perspectives on the air quality experienced amidst the COVID-19 pandemic and the subsequent implementation of lockdown measures and could serve as a valuable resource for monitoring and implementing measures to control air pollution.

Actinomycetes are the potential producers of secondary metabolites of vivid applications; they are isolated from almost all the sources both terrestrial and aquatic habitats. Actinomycetes are a group of Gram-positive bacteria known for their filamentous structure and ability to produce a diverse array of bioactive compounds. These bioactive compounds include antibiotics, antifungals, antivirals, anticancer agents, immunosuppressants, and enzymes. Actinomycetes have been a major source of these bioactive compounds and have played a significant role in the development of many therapeutic drugs. Actinomycetes, which are isolated from practically all sources in both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, have the potential to create secondary metabolites with diverse uses. A class of Gram-positive bacteria called actinomycetes is distinguished by its filamentous structure and capacity to manufacture a wide range of bioactive substances. Antibiotics, antifungals, antivirals, cancer preventatives, immunosuppressants, and enzymes are a few examples of these bioactive substances. These bioactive substances have primarily come from actinomycetes, which have also contributed significantly to the creation of several medicinal medications. However, actinomycetes isolation and cultivation can be challenging due to their slow growth rate and complex nutritional requirements. In order to isolate and cultivate actinomycetes, several pre-treatment methods and media can be employed.

COVID-19 pandemic due to SARS-CoV-2 has been one of the major global health issues of this aeon. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association of SARS-CoV-2 cycle threshold (Ct) values with multiple factors among COVID-19 patients visiting a tertiary care hospital in Sudurpashchim province of Nepal. A retrospective analysis was performed on the data of randomly selected COVID-19 cases among the total RT-qPCR tested patients from March 2020 to April 2022. The Ct values at the time of patient admission and their clinical outcomes (discharge or death) were compared. Among the COVID-19 patients, survivor group had significantly higher initial Ct value compared to non-survivors [median Ct values 23.21 and 24.39 (P < 0.0001)]. Selected haematological parameters; white blood cells (P<001), neutrophils (P<001), and monocytes (P<0.0001), and all the biochemical parameters were significantly different between these two groups (p < 0.005). Furthermore, significantly increased CRP (61.54±63.00, P<0.0017), D-dimer levels (0.8979± 1.480, P<0.0001), creatinine (0.7931±0.2551, P<0.0001), monocytes (0.6782±0.7981, P<0.0001), and random blood sugar (152.4±34.32, P<0.0001) were observed among non-survivors indicating as cause of disease severity in COVID-19. The findings of this study imply that the Ct value, CRP and D-dimer levels could be a crucial marker for the early detection of severe COVID-19 patients or those at higher risk of developing severe disease. This will eventually help to identify cases requiring immediate and critical medical care and reduce mortality.

Kondisi kelas sosial dalam sebuah masyarakat tidak dapat terlepas dari pengamatan kelompok kapitalis untuk dikomodifikasi menjadi sebuah komoditas. Praktik komodifikasi ini sangat menguntungkan pihak kapitalis sebagai pemilik modal dari sisi materiil. Hal ini dapat mereka lakukan melalui praktik representasi kelas sosial menjadi sebuah komoditas tontonan dan hiburan untuk dinikmati khalayak. Salah satu produk dari industri ini adalah cerita anak yang berjudul Poupelle of Chimney Town: Petualangan Poupelle di Kota Cerobong Asap. Kisah fiksi tersebut merepresentasikan kehidupan manusia pinggiran, khususnya subaltern dari kelas sosial bawah. Hal ini sekaligus menjadi sebuah kritik sosial yang dikemas dalam bentuk cerita anak yang dapat menumbuhkan kesadaran kelas bagi khalayak. Penelitian ini menggunakan teori representasi yang ditawarkan oleh Stuart Hall. Di mana narasi dan visual yang ditampilkan dilihat memiliki kepentingan politis dalam merepresentasikan kehidupan masyarakat miskin di era modern. Metode yang digunakan adalah analisis wacana multimodal dengan pendekatan kualitatif. Peneliti menggunakan teknik observasi dan dokumentasi untuk mengumpulkan data primer. Adapun teknik validitas data yang digunakan peneliti adalah triangulasi teori guna mendapatkan hasil penelitian yang lebih objektif. Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa cerita anak tersebut membangun representasi dari masyarakat subaltern di era modern. Di mana dalam kelompok subaltern terdapat kekuasaan yang juga dimiliki oleh setiap individu. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa dalam realita di masyarakat, kelompok yang termarjinalkan sekalipun tetap memiliki power untuk menunjukkan posisi sosialnya. Selain itu, cerita ini juga menunjukkan bahwa cerita anak dapat dibuat berdasarkan narasi dari masalah sosial modern.

Keterlibatan perempuan menjadi sumber untuk menciptakan pembentukan yang berkeadilan. Negara tidak akan makmur kalau perempuan dibebaskan tertinggal, tersisihkan dan tertindas. Sebagaimana diungkapkan oleh Vivekananda (Darwin 2005:8) : negara dan bangsa yang tak menghormati perempuan tak akan menjadi besar, baik di saat itu biarpun di masa depan. Bukti esensial sebagai pemicu tertindasnya bangsa secara tajam adalah tak mempunyai rasa mulia pada aktivitas perempuan yang digambarkan sebagai istri. Sehingga pembangunan yang integral dan menyeluruh berasal dalam negara yang mengatur peranan penuh dari kaum perempuan pada berbagai ilmu kehidupan. Maka perempuan sebagai warga negara maupun sumber insan pembangunan mempunyai hak, kewajiban, dan kesempatan yang sama dengan laki-laki. Konsep yg fundamental ialah tak ada kontraskewenangan antara laki-laki dan  perempuan buat menerima Pendidikan serta perlindungan aturan, sebagai akibatnya mempunyai peluang dan  kesempatan yang sama pada mengakses lapangan pekerjaan dan  melakukan peran sosial dalam pembangunan.

Published: March 2024

Hingga saat ini film dokumenter yang mengisahkan hidup penyandang disabilitas masih sangat jarang. Karena itu film Widya, Jemari Jiwaku Menari (Widya JJM) menjadi film yang tergolong langka. Artikel ini mengkaji tentang representasi diskriminasi terhadap anak perempuan penyandang disabilitas tuli. Peneliti menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dan jenis penelitian deskriptif. Teori yang digunakan adalah semiotika model John Fiske. Teknik pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan observasi, wawancara, dan studi pustaka. Analisis data dilakukan dengan analisis semiotika John Fiske. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa representasi kedudukan penyandang disabilitas belum setara dengan nondisabilitas. Penyandang disabilitas memiliki stereotip sebagai orang yang bodoh dan selalu tergantung pada orang lain. Mereka dianggap sebagai objek dan bukan subjek. Objek untuk dikasihani, bahan tertawaan, cemoohan, dan perisakan (bullying). Stereotip ini menyebabkan orang gagal memahami penyandang disabilitas secara adil. Penyandang disabilitas tidak perlu dikasihani. Mereka hanya perlu mendapat hak dan perlakuan yang sama dengan manusia lainnya. Untuk bisa berhasil penyandang disabilitas harus memiliki tekad yang kuat dan berjuang secara gigih seperti tokoh Widya dalam film ini.
Finanças, infraestrutura e o espaço nacional: da integração produtiva à desintegração neoextrativista da nação
Authors: Yassu Alexandre Mitsuro da Silveira , Klink Jeroen Johannes
Published: March 2024

A promoção de recortes espaciais competitivos ligados aos setores primários- exportadores, aqui chamados de neoextrativista, nas últimas cinco décadas tem promovido uma reestruturação do espaço nacional, gerando uma tendência à fragmentação da nação. Neste artigo, contribuímos com uma leitura crítica e atualizada do processo de fragmentação da nação, a partir da compreensão de como o Estado, a infraestrutura, as finanças e o neoextrativismo articulam-se no desenvolvimento capitalista em geral e no Brasil, revelando novas dinâmicas e estruturas de controle do território e de extração de riqueza. Os agentes ligados a estas dinâmicas e estruturas formam uma coalizão desintegradora neoextrativista que atua na manutenção e aprofundamento das atividades primário-exportadoras, reforçando as tendências de fragmentação da nação.
“We are right in the middle of them”: mining and the production of disasters
Authors: ROCHA Maria Cecília , Baltazar Ana Paula
Published: March 2024

This article draws on the history of Mingú, a neighborhood located at the center of the activities of a long-standing mining company in Nova Lima, in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil, and discusses the interrelation of the production of disasters over time with the formation of a socio-spatial group. The narrative is informed by fragments of everyday life that seek to highlight the trends and patterns of broader processes, and which resonate beyond the particular context presented. Three phases in the history of Mingú are analyzed, revealing the continuity between extractivism and neoextractivism and the notion that disasters are not restricted to natural events, isolated in time and space. In this historical process, the constitution of the group is understood by the way its everyday practices take place within an unstable context, permeated by expropriation and by the difficulty of socio-spatial consciousness and autonomy.

O artigo recorre à história do Mingú, bairro situado no centro das atividades de uma longeva empresa de mineração, em Nova Lima, Minas Gerais, para discutir a inter-relação entre a produção dos desastres ao longo do tempo e a formação de um grupo sócio-espacial. A narrativa é informada por fragmentos do cotidiano, buscando evidenciar tendências e conjuntos de processos mais amplos, indo além da singularidade do contexto apresentado. Assim, são analisados três momentos da história do Mingú, revelando a continuidade entre extrativismo e neoextrativismo e a noção de que os desastres não se restringem a eventos naturais, isolados no tempo e no espaço. Nesse processo histórico, a constituição do grupo é entendida pela forma como suas práticas cotidianas se inserem num contexto instável, permeado pela expropriação e pela dificuldade de consciência sócio-espacial e autonomia.
Incoerências doutrinárias na obra Evolução em Dois Mundos parte II: animais na erraticidade, conceitos de fluidos, alimentação dos Espíritos e outras questões
Authors: Fonseca Alexandre
Published: March 2024

André Luiz (AL) é o autor espiritual da obra Evolução em Dois Mundos (E2M), recebida através da psicografia de Francisco C. Xavier e Waldo Vieira. E2M introduz teorias complexas sobre a formação, propriedades e evolução do perispírito, em contato com seres vivos de diversos níveis e escalas biológicas. Em sua segunda parte, esse artigo consiste no estudo da coerência doutrinária da obra. O estudo foi feito de modo muito sério e apresenta críticas e conclusões com bastante respeito ao autor espiritual da obra, ao médium que a intermediou, à editora que a produziu, e aos Leitores a tem como verdade. Na primeira parte do estudo, mostrei que a proposta de E2M do corpo espiritual registrar em si os mecanismos fisiológicos da vida e, posteriormente, comandar o automatismo fisiológico do corpo humano, é bastante incoerente com a Doutrina Espírita (DE). mostro outras questões e conceitos presentes em E2M que são incoerentes com a DE e inconsistências internas à própria obra. Embora AL seja muito fraterno na sua linguagem, a obra é muito especulativa, não fundamenta as inovações que apresenta na DE, em dados e métodos de pesquisa ou na Ciência (as citações científicas presentes à obra não servem de comprovação das suas inovações). Dessa forma, seu conteúdo exemplifica a recomendação de Erasto e de Kardec de não tomarmos como verdades, inovações que não podem ser devidamente comprovadas cientificamente.

Published: March 2024

This descriptive study traced the employability of graduates in the course program of Bachelor of Science in Computer Science, Bachelor of Science in Information and Technology, and Bachelor of Science in Game Development from a Philippine Private Higher Education Institution in this age of disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Furthermore, the study assesses the relevance of the imparted competencies and skills in the respondents’ jobs. Appropriate protocols were observed during data collection. Purposive and snowball sampling techniques were used to identify and reach graduates from 2016 to 2020. Hence, results show that most of the respondents were male, single, and residents of the National Capital Region, Philippines. In addition, the respondents were able to secure employment from local and international competitive companies within less than three months after their graduation. Thus, the acquired competencies and skills are very relevant to their job. On the one hand, the findings of this study can be used as a basis for the institution and other HEIs to innovate the educational programs, practices, and services relevant to computing courses following guidelines and standards set by the Philippine Commission on Higher Education.
Impacts on Education and Teaching from the Advance of Artificial Intelligence in Secondary Schools
Authors: Aletras Konstantinos
Published: March 2024

Artificial Intelligence has begun to rapidly invade our daily lives as well as the education system. It decisively affects the lives of all of us in every aspect. It tends to change the way everyone works, including, pupils, students, and teachers with unprecedented rapidity.
This specific work aims to study the changes that the new reality has brought to the way of teaching, to assessment, to the differentiation of teaching, and to any form of feedback that can be offered in real time, from the teacher’s side.
From the student’s point of view, we will look for the ways in which it affects the process of studying the courses, in the preparation of assignments, in strengthening the interest in learning, especially of students with learning gaps, and how much and how it contributes to changing the way of working and thinking of the students.
Education will be directly affected and will have to adapt to the new reality. The new reality introduces other learning requirements and techniques. New tools are being introduced, never seen before, which have not been tested before. The demands for new knowledge are great but at the same time, the insecurity that every innovative achievement creates grows. The application of artificial intelligence in secondary schools, where this has been achieved,will be studied.
The work will then list the positives and negatives that have been recorded from the implementation of artificial intelligence in education as well as expectations and fears for the future.
The specific research is bibliographic and additionally, due to the immediacy and rapidity of the changes, it also includes reports from the international press. The investigation of the bibliography is done, separately, for the teachers and for the students, with different criteria in each case.
Computational Thinking: A Proposed Formative Assessment Rubric for Physical Computing Courses
Authors: Kalovrektis Konstantinos , Dimos Ioannis A. , Kakarountas Athanasios
Published: March 2024

The term Computational Thinking (CT) is commonly acceptable as a 21st century skill in reading, writing, and arithmetic, causing many states to adopt new policies as far as the curriculum, didactic material, teaching and learning methods, as well as assessment methods. In this frame, we have developed a series of Arduino lessons for teachers’ training, including physics computing and computational thinking development. For the training material quality improvement, we have developed a set of assessment criteria (Rubric) that will be used during the teacher’s training course resulting in the formative assessment. The aim of this work is to analyze and justify the rubric’s format and priorities, as well as to inform the teachers’ trainers about the course assessing priorities.

Museum education is a constantly evolving field that adapts to the changing needs and expectations of learners. By combining the unique assets of museums with innovative educational practices, the field continues to create enriching and engaging learning experiences. eXtended Reality technologies play a key role in this evolution, allowing museums to extend their reach and create more immersive, inclusive, and accessible educational experiences for a broader audience beyond their physical walls. Embracing well-structured and standardised metadata modelling is vital in achieving this vision. It can serve as the foundation that enables widespread interoperability and seamless integration of systems as well as in fostering synergies among the domains of cultural institutions, education, and XR technologies. This work surveys the historical and current state-of-the-art advancements in metadata models for each pillar of the work’s theme, namely the domains of education, cultural institutions, and XR while also detailing the key steps of metadata model amalgamation as a promising direction towards creating robust metadata frameworks from constituent models.
