Authors: Golay Datendra Kumar , Miya Mahamad Sayab , Timilsina Sachin
Published: April 2021

Chiuri trees and beekeeping are the major sources of livelihood among the Chepang community. The study was performed to assess the role of Chiuri on livelihood improvement of the Chepang community through beekeeping and to analyze the efforts of CFUGs to conserve the Chiuri in Silinge Community Forest User Group, Raksirang-6, Makawanpur district, Nepal. Focus Group Discussion, Key Informant Survey and Individual interview in households were carried out for the study from January to March 2019. With the increasing demand for organic honey made from Chiuri, the locals of the Chepang village in Makawanpur have started generating a good income from beekeeping. The majority (63%) of the respondents reported that the trends of the status of beekeeping were increasing in households. The selling of honey was the main source of income for the people of Silinge CFUGs. 1/3 of households earned the money in the range of NRs 200,000 (US$ 1,720.83) - NRs 300,000 (US$ 2,581.24). Physical capital and financial capital have significantly increased, whereas human, social and natural capitals were in increasing trends. The relationship between Chiuri and honey bees was very positive for both. The marketing system of Chiuri is not well developed in the study area. The Chepang community will get more prices after certifying their products as organic. Organic Certification of Nepal (OCN) should conduct studies about organic honey.

Published: April 2021

The need for new designs of Groundnut oil expeller is based on the cost and efficiency of the machine especially for the usage in small and medium size industries. It has to be cost effective and light weight to accommodate such demands. The existing Groundnut Oil Expellers in the market are too big and too expensive for these small medium size businesses to invest on. Other limitations are its maintenances aspect as well as its operations. Therefore, series of survey and research have been done to identify the needs and base on that, the Final Design and Specifications were synthesized. The Groundnut Oil Expeller is a screw type machine, which presses groundnut through a barrel-like cavity. Raw material (groundnut) enters one side of the press and by product (cake) exit the other side. The machine uses friction and continuous pressure from the screw drives to move and compress the groundnut. The oil seeps through small openings that do not allow groundnut fibre solids to pass through. Afterward, the pressed groundnuts are formed into a hardened cake, which is removed from the machine. This machine will satisfy the demand for the small and medium size industries because of its design, functionality and price. The measurements of the performance also being analyze by calculating the design efficiency.
NALAR EKOFEMINISME DALAM PEMIKIRAN HUKUM WARIS M. QURAISH SHIHAB
Authors: Ali Umar , Ridho Ridho
Published: April 2021

The focus of the study in this paper is M. Quraish Shihab's thoughts in the field of inheritance law. M. Quraish Shihab's (hereinafter referred to as Shihab) thought deserves to be appointed as a target study in relation to his views on gender equality. In various published writings, especially in his book entitled "Women: from Love to Sex, from the Mut'ah Marriage to the Sunnah Marriage, from the Old Bias to the New Bias", it is very clear how Quraish tried to get out of the mainstream of "right" thinking. who want to lock up women in domestic sectors as well as "left" thinking that tends to go too far in understanding equality between men and women, in other words, Shihab is classified as a moderate thinker in the study of gender equality. That is the conclusion of several studies examining Shihab's thoughts.

In contrast to these conclusions, this article concludes that Shihab can actually be classified as an eco-feminist who tries to maintain the status quo of gender inequality that is being sued by feminists. This can be seen very well in Shihab's rejection of feminist claims about equality in quantity in the distribution of inheritance between men and women, which in the sacred text is stated as two to one. For Shihab, the provisions in the distribution of inheritance are final because the details about the law of inheritance are closed with a firm statement "that is the limits of Allah" and a series of other arguments expressed by Shihab. This issue will be presented in the following descriptions so as to reinforce the above conclusions.

Published: April 2021

This study investigated the synergistic antibacterial potentials of Ocimum gratissimum (O. gratissimum) leaf acetone extract, honey, and ciprofloxacin against some multiple antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Multiple antibiotic-resistant bacterial isolates from stool samples of diarrhea patients and their typed cultures were subjected to inhibitory assay by mixtures of extract and honey, extract and ciprofloxacin, honey and ciprofloxacin, and extract, honey and ciprofloxacin using tube dilution method. Killing rate and mechanisms of action of the mixtures on the susceptible pathogens were determined. The multiple antibiotic resistance indices of the test organisms (MARI) ranged from 0.7 to 1.0. Extract, honey, and ciprofloxacin mixture at ratio 1:1:1 exerted the lowest minimum inhibitory concentration on E. coli, P. aeruginosa ATCC 10145, E. coli ATCC 25922, and S. typhi ATCC 14028 at 1.56×10-3 mg/mL compared with ciprofloxacin (3.13×10-3 mg/mL). Highest potassium, sodium, and protein leakage was induced by extract and honey mixture (97.4 cmol/g) in E. coli, extract, honey, and ciprofloxacin mixture (65.2 cmol/g) in B. cereus, and extract, honey, and ciprofloxacin mixture (21.6 mg/mL) in B. cereus, respectively. Extract, honey, and ciprofloxacin mixture exerted highest killing rate on B. cereus after 24 h (1.3×101 cfu/mL). These findings revealed a high synergistic antibacterial potential of O. gratissimum leaf acetone extract, honey, and ciprofloxacin against multiple drug-resistant bacteria, thus, implying their potential use in diarrhea treatment.

Authors: EMEGHA Joseph Onyeka , OKAFOR Chukwudi Mcdonald , UKHUREBOR Kingsley Eghonghon
Published: April 2021

Thin films of copper-zinc sulphide (CxZn1-xS) have been deposited by metal-organic chemical vapour deposition (MOCVD) technique at 400 °C on soda-lime substrates. The films contained copper dithiocarbamate and zinc dithiocarbamate of various concentrations. The effect of the precursor’s concentration was investigated using Fourier transforms infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and UV-Vis Spectrophotometer. The precursors’ FTIR spectrums have the characteristics of copper sulphide and zinc sulphide absorption bands below 800 cm-1. The optical properties for all the samples were studied by reading the absorbance and transmittance spectra in the range of 300 - 900 nm. The results indicate direct bandgap energy that ranged between 2.20 to 3.42 eV. The films were found to have a very high transmittance in the visible and near-infrared regions and an average reflectance of about 0.14 in the same regions. Optical constants like refractive index, extinction coefficient, and optical conductivity were estimated as a function of photon energy. The various properties exhibited by the films indicate that the films can find application in various optoelectronic devices.

Authors: Yevtushenko Inna , Bilyi Dmytro , Tsymerman Olesya , Nepochatova Anastasia
Published: April 2021

This paper provides data on the clinical signs of pododermatitis in dogs and also investigates effective treatment regimens. The urgency of the stated problem is due to the growing incidence of pododermatitis in dogs, its polyetiological nature, which requires a multifaceted approach to diagnostics and the introduction of effective treatments methods. Thereby, the purpose of the study was to investigate the clinical manifestations of skin diseases of the distal extremities in dogs and to determine the efficacy of complex therapy of pododermatitis. The studies were based on clinical research methods in dermatology, parasitological (skin scraping), bacteriological, and mycological (seeding on nutrient media with subsequent isolation of the pathogen) surveys. Based on the findings of the study, the absolute number of cases revealed lesions of 2 paws (53.3%), much less often – all 4 limbs (26.7%). It was found that mainly localisation of superficial skin lesions was found in 56.2% in the area of the interdigital space and 43.7% of cases – only on the plantar surface of the pastern (metatarsus), rarely – inflammation of the claw phalanx (31.2%). The main clinical signs of dermatitis of the distal extremities in dogs were erosive and ulcerative inflammation, alopecia, papules and pustules filled with purulent exudate, erythematous inflammation, haemorrhage, areas of lichenification. Studies on the treatment of dogs with pododermatitis caused by Staphylococcus intermedius, Demodex canis and Malassezia pachydermatis have shown the following: introduction of drugs Bravecto, Cefuroxime, Orungal, Apoquel and Derinat increased the efficacy of therapy in animals of the experimental group, as compared with the control (from 28.6% to 66.7%), reducing the duration of treatment to 21 days (p˂0.01) and extending the remission period to an average of 185 days (p˂0.01). The prospect of further research is the unification of clinical, morphological, and biochemical blood parameters as diagnostic criteria for pododermatitis in dogs

Published: April 2021

The paper presents the findings of a study of species diversity of forests in the Kharkivska Oblast. The study was conducted on the territory of ten forestry enterprises and the State Enterprise Kharkiv Forest Research Station and the Homilsha Woods National Nature Park on an area of 282.3 thousand ha (area is subordinated to the State Forest Resources Agency of Ukraine). The purpose of the study was to analyse the species diversity and typological structure of forests in the Kharkivska Oblast. The study of species diversity was carried out based on analysis of the subcompartment database of the VO Ukrderzhlisproekt. The plantations were classified by the trophotope on the territory of the research facility in accordance with the main methodological provisions of the Ukrainian forestry and forest typology. A diagrammatic map of forests and dominant species (common oak and Scots pine) was compiled using the MapInfo Professional 12.5 software package and a vector map of 12 forestries in the Kharkivska Oblast. It has been established that 56 species of trees grow in the Kharkivska Oblast. Among these tree species, the predominant ones are common oak (53.4%) and Scots pine (32.7%). The distribution of plantations by trophotope is characterised by certain features. For example, dubrava conditions prevail in the stands (65.6% of the total area covered by forest vegetation), subor forests are 3.5 times less represented, and sudubravas and pine forests are the least common. Among the forest types, the most common are fresh maple-linden dubravas (43.7%) and fresh oak-pine subors (18.9%). The practical significance of the study is that the analysis of species diversity and typological structure of forests must be taken into account during the planning, organisation, and conduct of forestry activities in the Kharkivska Oblast
Ecological and fire characteristics of forest ecosystems of the “Drevlyansky” nature reserve
Authors: Martynenko Vasyl
Published: April 2021

The paper deals with the ecological and fire situation in the forest ecosystem of the “Drevlyansky” nature reserve. The relevance of this study is that every year Ukraine's forests suffer from fires that destroy significant areas, and forests with radiation pollution suffer from fires the most. The purpose of the study was to investigate the impact of radiation pollution on the fire situation in the forest ecosystem of the reserve. The main task was to distribute the area of the reserve according to the level of radiation pollution and fire hazard classes with and without taking into account radiation pollution. To achieve the results, the area of the forest ecosystem of the Reserve was distributed according to the levels of radiation pollution. The average fire hazard class between 2008 and 2018 ranged from 2.02 to 2.06, which in turn improves the fire situation. However, since the territory of the reserve has been exposed to radiation pollution, the distribution of areas by fire hazard classes has undergone changes between the years of forest management. Thus, the fire situation, taking into account radiation pollution, has deteriorated compared to the area that was not exposed to radiation pollution, and between 2008 and 2018 it improved and amounts to 1.16 and 1.17, respectively. Consequently, the distribution of area by fire hazard classes depends not only on the level of radiation pollution, but also on the taxational specifications (land category, and in plantations it depends on the type of forest vegetation conditions, age, and tree species). The results of the fire that occurred on the territory of the reserve in the spring of 2020 are shown, along with a map of the fire danger of the forest fund of the “Drevlyansky” nature reserve in 2018. The prospect of further research is to re-conduct a study of the level of radiation pollution and to carry out actual measurements every 10 years, without using calculation methods. This will provide a more reliable distribution of forest fund areas by fire hazard classes and affect the planning of strategic tasks to prevent fires in the reserve

Published: April 2021

About 40% of the Global Electricity produced is fuelled by coal. Although Coal has various advantages like good High Heating Value, easy availability etc., it also has various disadvantages. Green House Gas Released from Coal Thermal Power Plants is the single major contributor to Global warming. Coal is also nonrenewable. Hence it is important to analyze the viability of potential alternatives and reduce the usage of coal. In this assessment, various potential replacements of coal have been analyzed based on their High heating value (HHV) and their Global Warming Potential. The Global warming Potential (GWP) of the assessed fuels have been calculated by the Respiratory Quotient (RQ) Factor method. Hence a direct comparison between Coal and other replacements based on their HHV and GWP has been performed.

Resonance and Reverberation: Sounding Out Screen Adaptation
Authors: David Evan Richard
Published: April 2021

This chapter attends to the phenomenological quality of sound and how it
contributes to the experience and appreciation of adaptation. Attending
to an adaptation’s soundscape not only reveals how it faithfully ‘re-sounds’
its source novel through the use of dialogue, but also how an adaptation
might use sound to be creatively divergent from its source. This chapter
therefore not only examines how an adaptation’s non-diegetic score can
smooth its narrative structure or give emotional and psychological insight
into its characters. But further, this chapter also examines how the warped
and uncanny use of the actor’s voice—or an extremely atonal soundscape
and score—can palpably affect the spectator. In doing so, this chapter
examines how sound—both ‘faithful’ and ‘unfaithful’ recording of its
source—intersects with adaptations both ‘faithful’ and wonderfully
‘unfaithful’ to its source.
Conclusion: Body Language
Authors: David Evan Richard
Published: April 2021

The conclusion of the book re-examines the value of film-phenomenology
in the evaluation and appreciation of film adaptation. I argue that before
we make sense of an adaptation we must first attend to their sensual
experience: their sight, their sound, their feeling, and how they are groped
in embodied structures of imagination and memory. The conclusion fleshes
out how an aesthetics of adaptation is inherently tied up with an ethics
of adaptation, and gestures towards future work that needs to be done.
Introduction: A ‘Fleshly Dialogue’
Authors: David Evan Richard
Published: April 2021

This chapter positions the book in the extant scholarship of adaptation
and phenomenology. It establishes the book’s argument that in order
to ‘make sense’ of adaptations as adaptations, we must first attend to
their sensual presence: their look, their sound, their touch, and how
they materialize in the embodied imagination. This chapter builds on
foundational adaptation scholarship by Robert Stam, Linda Hutcheon,
and Christine Geraghty who advance an intertextual approach to studying
adaptation. Rather, this chapter employs the existential phenomenology
of Maurice Merleau-Ponty—and how it has been adapted to film studies
by Vivian Sobchack—to propose an intersubjective account of adaptation.
Dancing the Image
Authors: Roei Noa
Published: April 2021

This essay offers a close reading of Archive (2014), an hour-long performance
by Israeli dancer and choreographer Arkadi Zaides, during which the artist
conducts a corporeal dialogue with audio-visual documentation of human
rights violations in the occupied Palestinian territories. I will point to
the ways in which the work’s atypical engagement with the mediation
of violence resonates Judith Butler’s thought on opaque subjectivities,
collective responsibility, risk and complicity. I will further place Butler’s
call for ethical responsibility in dialogue with current debates on the
production, circulation, and reception of images of violence, both in the
specific context of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and in relation to more
general conceptualizations of spectatorship.
Santiago Sierra’s Workers Who Cannot Be Paid
Authors: Sigler Friederike
Published: April 2021

Since the late 1990s, the artist Santiago Sierra has hired people from
socially deprived milieus to perform physically exhausting acts. With
Judith Butler’s concept of precariousness, Sierra’s controversial artistic
practice emerges as an attempt to make visible two central dimensions
of today’s working world: work as a technique that either substantially
minimizes or maximizes the precariousness of bodies, and the global
inequality that is expressed through different modes of work and precarity.
Butler’s theory helps to grasp Sierra’s artistic practice and his critique
of the modern world of work and at the same time locates possible new
forms of resistance.
Branding or Excluding?
Authors: van de Schoor Rob
Published: April 2021

Various aspects of branding can be recognized in the Dutch nineteenthcentury
literary book trade, even though for a long time publishers and
booksellers shied away from the explicit commercialization of what was
considered to be merchandize of superior cultural value. A search for
examples of branding reveals that branding studies seem to lack their
own heuristic methodology: what can be described as branding is often
a relabelling of the findings of ‘old school’ literary studies. Moreover, the
history of important nineteenth-century printing houses has yet to be
written. Research into branding strategies therefore might be somewhat
premature, although the branding concept might be useful for book
historians in describing the relations between publisher (printer), author,
and reader.

Afterword
Authors: Ho Benjamin Tze Ern
Published: April 2021

This chapter analyzes Chinese responses to the events of the Covid-19
global pandemic and identifies themes of Chinese exceptionalism and
Chinese benevolence in Beijing’s pandemic-related global interactions.
Three core narratives have framed China’s response: that China is a responsible
power; that China is self-sacrificing; and that China is superior to
the West. At the same time, however, the events of the Covid-19 pandemic
have also generated considerable criticism of the Chinese government,
and how it being perceived as being good and different from the West. All
of these factors have long-term implications for China’s claim to global
leadership and the attractiveness of its political worldview.

Published: April 2021

This study was aimed to assess the blood pressure influence of rocuronium drug under general anesthesia and compares it with atracurium drug. The study recruited 50 adult patients, divided in to two groups the rocuronium drug groups which included 25 patients and atracurium drug group which included 25 patients, age ranged from (18-60 years) of both sexes who were (ASAI and ASAII) patients undergoing (elective surgeries) in Baghdad education hospital during the period from (October 2019 to March 2020). Anesthesia was induced with using I.V. propofol drug (1.5-2.5 mg/kg), ketamine drug (0.5 mg/kg) or (2-3 mg/kg) propofol drug.  For the endotreacheal tube, and facility of intubation injection muscle relaxation the rocuronium drug (0.6 mg/kg) or atracurium drug (0.5 mg/kg), for maintenance rocuronium drug (0.1-0.2 mg/kg). 60 sec. was used after administration of the relaxant, attempt of intubation. Next intubation, lungs were mechanically ventilated, monitored, blood pressure recorded and MAP after five minutes and every five minute for 15 minutes. The resulting P-value of MAP in Rocuronium drug groups and Atracuruim drug group at pre-operative was 0.811 which was non-significant (P> 0.05). While at induction it was 0.309 which was also non-significant (P> 0.05). After 1min it was 0.574 which was non-significant (P> 0.05). After 5min it was 0.321 which was non-significant. After 10 min it was 0.954 which was non-significant (P> 0.05). The blood pressure effected from rocuronium drug and atracurium drug are different under general anesthesia. The Atracurium drugs has less marked change in MAP. In healthy patients it maybe not be of importance, nevertheless it could be nonessential in patients with preexisting cerebral, cardiac diseases, hypertension or the elderly, but Rocuronium drug has a marked change in MAP. This could be cautiously in the patients with preexisting cardiac or cerebral pathology or elderly or hypertension. In conclusions the MAP was increased at induction of rocuronium drug and was decreased at induction of atracurium drug in this study.

Published: April 2021

Heat-polymerized resins are common substances utilized for construction of removable dental prostheses (i.e. Orthodontic appliances). Such materials should have appropriate physical properties. The use of disinfectant solutions might influence the physical characteristics of the acrylic materials.  This study was conducted to assess the influence of different disinfectants on heat polymerized resins in terms of surface hardness. Forty specimens were made from heat-polymerized acrylic resins in total. The investigation comprised 4 groups according to the disinfectants utilized and each group had ten specimens. The 1st group was immersed in distilled water (control); the 2nd group was disinfected in Efferdent; the 3rd group was disinfected in 4 % Chlorhexidine; and the 4th group was disinfected in 1% hypochlorite. All specimens were tested via a hardness tester three times and the average reading was measured for all specimens. The statistical results indicated a slight decline in the mean values of surface hardness of acrylic specimens following immersion in disinfectants. The greatest value of mean was for distilled water specimens whereas the lowest value of mean was for 4% Chlorhexidine specimens. Furthermore, no significant differences were found among all groups (P>0.05). The study concluded that the use of disinfectants solutions slightly decreases the hardness of heat polymerized resins. It is recommended to evaluate the chemical interaction between the acrylic resins and disinfectants.

Authors: Tirtanadi Rendy
Published: April 2021

Ada banyak interpretasi tentang perayaan Sabat, oleh karena itu agar dapat menangkap keseriusan atas perintah untuk menjalankan Sabat ini diperlukan suatu konsep pemahaman yang komprehensif. John Calvin yang dikenal sebagai seorang pemikir yang sistematis dan teolog yang seksama sekaligus praktis patut mendapat perhatian kita. Demi memahami konsep Sabatnya, Calvin menuliskan tema Sabat dalam berbagai tulisannya, baik dalam tafsiran, Institutes, katekismus, dan khotbah-nya. Dengan demikian, kita akan memperoleh suatu konsep Sabat yang Alkitabiah dari kitab Perjanjian Lama dan Baru, tanpa harus berkompromi dengan konteks zaman saat Calvin hidup.
PENERAPAN PANDANGAN JOHN CALVIN TENTANG DISIPLIN GEREJA DALAM KASUS PERZINAHAN DALAM KONTEKS GEREJA MASA KINI
Authors: Nugraha Yan Wira
Published: April 2021

John Calvin sebagai tokoh reformasi terkemuka telah memberikan sumbangsih besar dalam kehidupan bergereja, terlebih menjadi dasar bagi pengajaran dan penerapannya. Ketika gereja masa kini banyak diperhadapkan dengan kasus imoralitas, penerapan disiplin gereja berdasarkan Alkitab dan diinterpretasikan oleh Calvin, telah memberi prinsip yang baik dalam penanganannya. Artikel berikut akan membahas penerapan disiplin gereja berkaitan dengan kasus perzinahan dalam jemaat gereja masa kini. Dalam pembahasannya, penulis mengawali dengan konsep seksualitas menurut pandangan Alkitab serta berbagai bentuk penyimpangannya. Ketika penyimpangan seks terjadi dalam jemaat, disiplin gereja perlu dijalankan. Calvin telah merumuskan disiplin gereja yang dapat mengakomodasi kasus penyimpangan tersebut. Pengalaman tindakan disiplin memberi gambaran bahwa prinsip dan langkah-langkah praktisnya sangat Alkitabiah, dan kontekstual jika diterapkan dalam gereja sejati yang mau kembali kepada Alkitab.?
The Utility of Recycled Eyeglasses: A Pilot Study at the Los Angeles County Department of Health Services
Authors: Huang Valerie , Kim Mary , Mohan Sukriti , Daskivich Lauren , Berry Jesse
Published: April 2021

Background:

The cost of eyeglasses is variably covered by medical insurance and thus is a significant barrier for patients in lower socioeconomic classes. We wanted to evaluate the efficacy of Recycle Vision (RV) at LAC+USC Medical Center, a monthly clinic run by volunteer medical students that provides free donated eyeglasses.

Methods:

A convenience sample of 30 patients were surveyed from August 1, 2019 to December 31, 2019. Patients’ prescriptions were matched with available eyeglasses based on spherical equivalent and axis of astigmatism using Winglasses software algorithm; patients selected glasses from these options based on subjective improvement of vision. All participants consented to a phone follow-up survey 1 month after initial visit to gauge satisfaction with glasses and rate difficulty in completing daily activities pre- and post-RV visit on a scale of 1 to 5 (5 being the greatest), with a 100% response rate.

Results:

Of the 30 study participants, 90% received eyeglasses from RV, with reported improvement in ease of daily activities of 3.96. 67% of respondents stated that if RV clinic did not exist, they would not have obtained glasses elsewhere; cost was the most commonly (70%) cited barrier. Upon follow-up, average likelihood of patients referring friends/family to RV was 4.07 (SD 1.14).

Conclusion:

The majority of RV patients received free eyeglasses and had subsequent improvement in their quality of life. This pilot study demonstrates that programs offering free eyeglasses can effectively correct refractive error and can offer a practical public health solution to improve functionality for underserved populations.

Un relato sobre la trata de mujeres
Authors: Favaro Alice
Published: April 2021

Beya. Le viste la cara a Dios, es la transposición en historieta de la novela breve Le viste la cara a Dios. La bella durmiente. Publicada en 2011, la historieta aborda el tema sumamente actual de la trata de mujeres en Argentina que la autora, propone una reescritura de La Bella Durmiente. La protagonista, Beya, es una joven víctima de las redes de prostitución en el conurbano bonaerense que, después del secuestro, está obligada a prostituirse y vivir en cautiverio. La novela gráfica narra la historia de la protagonista con imágenes violentas que se mezclan con un registro lingüístico vulgar. Los dos lenguajes se cruzan para narrar, desde el punto de vista de las víctimas, la tragedía de la desaparición de mujeres en manos de las redes de prostitución. El texto fuente y el hipertexto representan un instrumento de denuncia social y colocan al lector ante una evidente violación de los derechos humanos.
Antisociológicas Arawá: modos de relación en Amazonia occidental
Authors: Aparicio Miguel
Published: April 2021

La zona interfluvial situada entre las cuencas de los ríos Purús y Juruá, en la Amazonia occidental brasileña, se ha caracterizado por la baja densidad de investigaciones históricas, arqueológicas y lingüísticas. En ella se concentra un circuito de pueblos indígenas que integran la familia lingüística Arawá y que, durante los últimos 15 años, han constituido el centro de atención de nuevas etnografías. Este artículo desarrolla un cruzamiento entre los análisis de investigaciones antropológicas recientes en esta región y los resultados del trabajo etnográfico de campo junto a dos grupos del conjunto Arawá: los Banawá y los Suruwaha, con foco especial en los procesos de constitución de colectivos. Sus formas de socialidad manifiestan una especie de inconformidad con las fronteras étnicas, con movimientos de resistencia a morfologías sociales o delimitaciones sociológicas estables. Los Arawá desarrollan un cromatismo en sus relaciones que nos conduce a reconocer en ellos una antisociología de las relaciones-entre-si más que un conjunto de grupos étnicos sólidamente constituidos.

Houses beyond manifestos
Authors: Zein Ruth Verde
Published: April 2021

Brazilian historiography on modern architecture, replicated by international authors, confirms the importance and the pioneer stance of Gregori Ilitch Warchavchik (1896-1972)/Mina Klabin’s (1896-1969) 1927-1932 architecture in São Paulo, and the 1126 Bahia Street (Luiz da Silva Prado) house, 1930-1931, São Paulo, Brazil, is a remarkable example of their initial set of houses. Its design dialogues with other houses simultaneously designed by Adolf Loos (1870-1933), Le Corbusier (1887-1965), Juan O’Gorman (1905-1982), and the connections among all these modernist pieces and their authors suggest the informal existence of an interconnected network of creators, spread across continents. Likewise, they all put forward proselytizing strategies to amplify the repercussion of their works through exhibitions, publications, and debates. The generous internal spaces of this house on Bahia Street, the steady play of its geometrical composition, and its wise topographical and innovative landscape arrangements are well balanced, providing the authors’ aim of both making a manifesto and providing the site and the client’s necessities with an appropriate individual solution. The house has been used as a commercial space in recent decades, but it has been properly maintained and it is still in good shape.
Past Readings, Present Findings: on Intervening Emilio Duhart’s PDVN House
Authors: Beals Alejandro , Lyon Loreto
Published: April 2021

Between 1963 and 1966 Emilio Duhart (1917-2006) worked on the design of this single-family house in what used to be the outskirts of Santiago. During this period, a series of younger collaborators worked on the project, transforming it continuously. Now, confronted with the task of refurbishing the house, we trace back and try to understand the project development by researching archival material. However, it is the process of physically dismantling damaged fabric – almost everything, besides the concrete structure – that really reveals the main principles behind the whole design process. A silent dialogue with architects already gone, which provides the guidelines to write just another chapter in the life of this structure.
