Bioregional Analysis and Ecological Politics of the Indian Sundarbans: An Interpretative Study
Authors:   Research Consultant, Observer Research Foundation (ORF), Kolkata, India, Roy Spriha
Published: November 2024

The Sundarbans is a uniquely gifted landscape. From the world’s largest thriving mangrove forest to the home to the Royal Bengal Tiger, it is indeed a storehouse of natural resources. But sadly, this ecosystem is equally fragile. This vulnerability is projected through biodiversity loss, rise in average temperature, and sea level rise due to climate change. In addition to being a low-lying coastal region, which makes it more susceptible to frequent cyclones, tidal floods, and earthquakes; this landscape experiences severe conflicts of interest between the locals and the wildlife, which has been impacting this dynamic relationship since the introduction of the conservation policies in the colonial era. There are many theoretical paradigms that challenge and examine this dynamic relationship, and one such is bioregionalism. Bioregionalism, in short, is both an environmental movement as well as a philosophy that affirms that a region is not solely defined by the border led by politics or legislation, but is held together by its natural forms, flora, and fauna. This movement critiques the mainstream dualistic modernity perspective and posits a co-adaptive, sustainable, and de-centralized working society. For this reason, this paper proposes to explore the Indian Sundarbans, as a unique cultural landscape by analyzing three events from the past: Project Tiger 1973, Morichjhanpi Massacre 1979, and The Sahara India Group Project of “Virgin Islands” 2003 from a bioregional perspective. This paper intends to undertake a correlational philosophical study to analyze a South Asian landscape (Indian Sundarbans) from an American theoretical standpoint (bioregionalism). Using the Indian Sundarbans as a case study, this study is aimed at exploring the underpinnings of bioregionalism and understanding the discourses that condition it.
Gothic Folklore as a Primordial Stimulation: Understanding of Cultural Inferences of North-East India Prevalent in Bhaskar Hazarika’s Kothanodi
Authors:   Assistant Professor, English and Literary Studies, Brainware University., Ghatak Sanghamitra
Published: November 2024

Native or the urban legends are often found to be under a garb of mysticism. From the legends to the lullabies, a certain level of eerie atmos is much sought for in these inferences. Bhaskar Hazarika’s 2015 film Kothanodi (The River of Fables) handpicks a collection of grandma tales intended to rejuvenate the lost stories of Assamese legends and folklore. The four intertwined narratives successfully transfer us to a world of mystery and cynicism. Infused with supernatural elements, these stories try to inculcate a sense of morality within the audiences. In a society dominated by evil forces, four distinct women from different walks of life are seen battling their own demons. A sense of unrestrained trepidation envelops the entire screenplay in a society that has been ruptured by the demons of their inner self.
Inspired by the tales of Burhi Aair Sadhu (Grandma’s Tales), a popular compendium of folk stories by Lakshminath Bezbaroa, Kothanodi brings out the traditional indigenous folktales of Assam. This paper intends to shed light upon the layers of induced meaning behind each of the stories told. The gothic and the supernatural intervention and their importance in a compelling storytelling process are to be focused on. The presence of ecology and superstations in the folk tales is distinctly observed here. Finally, the precedence of good over evil forces comes out as the moralistic preaching of this project.
Futebol como questão social
Authors: Camargo Wagner Xavier
Published: November 2024

Uma etnografia com coletivos de pessoas LGBTQIA+ que praticavam futebol society se converteu em uma ‘etnografia digital’ a partir da declaração da OMS sobre a pandemia do coronavírus, no início de 2020. A pesquisa antropológica então em curso, que ocorria em competições esportivas in loco desde 2017 acabou se tornando uma peregrinação pelo meio digital, que acompanhava perfis individuais e de clubes esportivos no intuito de entender como tais agentes lidavam com o futebol em tempos pandêmicos. A proposta deste texto é compreender os lugares possíveis de produção e aparecimento destes futebóis (as redes sociais), no período de quase dois anos, e discutir como se redimensionaram nestes ‘não-lugares’. Além disso, este texto dialoga criticamente com a ideia de ‘futebol como questão social’, inaugurada no contexto brasileiro neste período pandêmico por eles como algo novidadeiro e inédito.

Categorias do torcer e participação feminina em uma torcida chopp carioca
Authors:   Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Lessa Ana Caroline
Published: November 2024

Como estão inseridas as mulheres torcedoras em uma torcida organizada? Este artigo tem por objetivo destrinchar a inserção das mulheres na arquibancada a partir de uma torcida do tipo chopp. Argumento que essa modalidade de organização favorece a integralização das torcedoras em termos de segurança, conforto e acolhimento. Se por um lado o machismo e as praças esportivas ainda demasiado masculinizadas podem cercear o envolvimento das mulheres na torcida por um clube, por outro lado, torcidas como as do tipo chopp privilegiam a participação feminina. A partir de etnografia em dias de jogos do Botafogo de Futebol e Regatas e entrevistas semiestruturadas realizadas com a Torcida Fogoró, mais especificamente com o Alambique Feminino, discuto presença, participação, acolhimento e pertencimento entre as torcedoras-interlocutoras nas atividades e socialidades futebolísticas. Verifica-se que torcida chopp, muito marcada por não se envolver em episódios violentos e por ter um caráter mais familiar, colabora para atrair um público distinto do que geralmente abrange torcidas organizadas mais tradicionais, as “jovens”. Para situar estas diferenças entre modos de torcer classifico as torcidas organizadas em três categorias, chopp, jovem e barra, que serão apresentadas no texto.

Between Secularisation and Loss of Faith
Authors: Dobra Dorin Mircea
Published: November 2024

We study the thesis that today we are faced with secularization in its true sense, and not so much with the loss of faith. At a summative and sentimental look, it would seem that faith in God is losing ground among the masses. The desecration of more and more religious edifices, or their simple depopulation, creates an image that confirms the thesis of contemporary society's distance from the Church. But we seek to evaluate how much of our behaviour today is actually deeply Christian in a secularized Europe.

Authors:   , Silva Taciana de Melo Fernandes
Published: November 2024

A acupuntura é uma técnica terapêutica da Medicina Tradicional Chinesa,
que vem sendo muito difundida no Ocidente. Definida como uma técnica de tratamento
com inserção de agulhas em pontos (acupontos) exatamente pré-estabelecidos sobre o
organismo, para produzir uma reação fisiológica específica com o intuito de restabelecer
o equilíbrio entre estados contraditórios de função e a homeostase, alternando os estados
de energia e com isto mantendo a organização do órgão e do organismo. Com isso, o
objetivo do presente trabalho foi mapear e descrever os principais pontos de acupuntura
nas espécies Boa constrictor (Jiboia), Euphractus sexcinctus (Tatu-peba), Chelonoidis
carbonaria (Jabuti-das-patas-vermelhas) e Iguana iguana (Iguana), assim como suas
indicações para promover o controle terapêutico dessas espécies. O resultado inédito do
mapeamento foi à descoberta de acupontos específicos e suas indicações terapêuticas e a
impedância de cada um, o que reflete a resistência e a necessidade de uma maior
estimulação ou profundidade para ser eficaz. Na espécie Chelonoidis carbonaria foram
descobertos um total de 14 acupontos. Na espécie Boa constrictor foram achados 8
acupontos, na espécie Iguana Iguana 10 acupontos e na espécie Euphractus sexcinctus
encontraram 14 acupontos. Como os pontos possuem efeito terapêutico para muitos
tipos de síndromes, o seu mapeamento nos permite uma visualização melhor e mais
rápida para efetivar o tratamento
Perfis sanitário e social da ovinocaprinocultura do oeste potiguar
Authors:   , Souza Carlos Henrique de
Published: November 2024

Os objetivos deste trabalho foram descrever o perfil sanitário do rebanho e social dos
criadores de ovinos e caprinos do Oeste Potiguar, através de questionários que revelassem as
características sociais dos criadores e higiênico-sanitárias dos rebanhos. Foram realizadas 243
entrevistas com criadores de ovinos e caprinos da agricultura familiar, com rebanhos de no
máximo 100 animais. Após aplicação dos questionários, obteve-se um banco de dados, que a
partir dos quais pode-se identificar características importantes, bem como fragilidades da
cadeia produtiva e eventuais fatores de risco dos manejos higiênico e sanitário. Os resultados
mostraram que 85% e 81,2% dos criadores de ovinos e caprinos respectivamente, residem na
propriedade; 71,2% e 75,3% tem a propriedade como única fonte de renda e mais de 75% dos
criadores não concluíram o ensino fundamental, independente da espécie do rebanho
analisada. O sistema de criação predominante é o semi-extensivo, as instalações são
predominantemente de chão batido e o uso de quarentena e isolamento para os animais não é
prática rotineira. A vermifugação é uma prática comum em 99,1% dos ovinos e 95,9% dos
rebanhos caprinos, porém é realizada sem nenhuma orientação técnica, como dosagens e
frequência. Dentre as imunizações, a clostridiose é a mais aplicada entre os criadores, tendo o
rebanho caprino um índice de imunização (60,6%) e o rebanho ovino (41,6%). Os sinais
clínicos mais relatados pelos criadores de ovinos e caprinos foram respectivamente diarreia
(88,5% / 88,8%), bicheira (81,4% / 79,4%), anemia (62,8% / 59,4%), aborto (51,3% / 46,5%)
e abscesso (38,1% / 30%) variando apenas a proporção das citações. Podendo-se concluir que
a assistência técnica e a participação em associações ou cooperativas contribuíram para um
aumento na produtividade e no controle das enfermidades nos rebanhos
Dinâmica térmica em cutias (Dasyprocta leporina Linnaeus, 1758) e preás (Galea spixii Wagler, 1831) em ambiente semiárido neotropical
Authors:   , Queiroz João Paulo Araújo Fernandes de
Published: November 2024

Como a termorregulação de cutias (Dasyprocta leporina Linneus, 1758) e preás
(Galea spixii Wagler, 1831) em um ambiente semiárido permanece desconhecida, o presente
trabalho objetivou determinar a termólise evaporativa e a transferência de calor por radiação e
convecção. Foram utilizadas 20 cutias e 28 preás em experimentos distintos. As cutias foram
submetidas a oito dias de amostragem, sendo as coletas de dados realizadas em cinco horários
(7h00, 9h00, 11h00, 14h00 e 16h00). Cada preá foi submetido a três dias de amostragem,
com coletas de dados realizadas em intervalos de uma hora, das 6h00 às 13h00. O ambiente
térmico foi monitorado em cada horário de coleta. A temperatura da superfície corporal foi
mensurada por termografia infravermelha. As regiões corporais consideradas nos
termogramas das cutias foram: focinho, olhos, orelhas, corpo, membros torácicos e pélvicos.
Nos termogramas dos preás foram consideradas, além daquelas mencionadas para cutias, as
vibrissas e as perioculares. A termólise evaporativa foi determinada por calorimetria. As
orelhas (13,10±1,17 W m-2) e os membros pélvicos (11,19±1,17 W m-2) foram as principais
regiões envolvidas na perda de calor por radiação em cutias, funcionando como janelas
térmicas. A termólise por radiação em preás foi mais elevada nas regiões perioculares
(45,23±0,81 W m-2), seguida dos olhos (41,41±0,81 W m-2), orelhas (31,56±0,80 W m-2) e
vibrissas (27,03±0,80 W m-2). As temperaturas das regiões perioculares mostraram ser
valorosas preditoras da temperatura retal de preás, exibindo coeficiente de correlação de 0,61.
A termólise convectiva em cutias foi mais intensa no corpo e membros pélvicos em todos os
horários. Nos preás, a transferência de calor por convecção foi irrisória (0,54±0,56 W m-2). A
termólise evaporativa em cutias (52,53±1,64 W m-2) e preás (143,69±1,37 W m-2) foi mais
intensa no horário com maior temperatura atmosférica. Assim, observamos que tanto
mecanismos não-evaporativos quanto evaporativos são importantes para a manutenção da
homeotermia de cutias e preás em ambiente quente. Estes roedores utilizam regiões corporais
especializadas na transferência de calor, que correspondem às janelas térmicas

Published: November 2024

Objective:

This study aimed to establish a model based on Multi-detector Computed Tomography (MDCT), 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose Positron Emission
Tomography/Computed Tomography (18F-FDG PET/CT), and clinical features for predicting different growth patterns of preoperative Invasive
Adenocarcinoma (IAC).

Methods:

This retrospective study included 357 patients diagnosed with IAC who underwent surgical treatment. According to pathological subtypes, IAC
was classified into low-risk growth patterns (lepidic, acinar) and high-risk growth patterns (papillary, micropapillary, and solid). The clinical
features of patients, preoperative MDCT, and 18F-FDG PET imaging characteristics were collected. Logistic regression analysis was used to
determine the independent risk factors for the high-risk growth pattern of IAC and construct models for predicting the high-/low-risk growth
patterns of IAC. Receiver operating characteristics and calibration curves were plotted and Decision Curve Analysis (DCA) was performed to
evaluate the performance and clinical benefits of the models, respectively.

Results:

Gender, tumor location, size, spiculation, and SUVavg were independent risk factors for high-risk growth patterns of IAC. The PET/CT imaging-
clinical characteristics combined model could well identify high-/low-risk growth patterns of IAC (AUC=0.789), which outperformed the CT

model (AUC=0.689, p=0.0012), PET model (AUC=0.742, p=0.0022), and clinical model (AUC=0.607, p<0.0001). The calibration curve indicated
good coherence between all model predictions and actual observations in both training and test sets (p>0.05). DCA revealed the highest clinical
benefit of PET/CT imaging-clinical characteristics combined model in identifying the high-risk growth pattern of IAC.

Conclusion:

The PET/CT imaging-clinical model based on multiphase MDCT features, 18F-FDG PET features, and clinical characteristics could predict the
high-risk growth pattern of IAC preoperatively, aiding clinicians in deciding personalized treatment strategies.
A Review on Diabetes: Current and Future Perspectives
Authors: Chauhan Anushree , Mishra Ganesh Prasad , Gupta Surbhi
Published: November 2024

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a metabolic syndrome that gradually leads to chronic microvascular or macrovascular complications. There
are 2 types of DM: Insulin-dependent diabetes, commonly called type I DM, is an organ-specific autoimmune disorder that destroys the body’s
pancreatic β cells, causing insulin deficiency, and can be treated through insulin replacement therapy. Non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, or
type II DM, is caused by pancreatic cell dysfunction that affects a person’s ability to use insulin and can be treated with oral hypoglycaemics.
Recent investigation confirms that combination therapy of metformin (biguanides), sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors, and
Dipeptidyl Peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors not only reduces HbA1c glucose dependently but also provides better sustained glycaemic stability with
good tolerability in comparison to monotherapy. Multi-particulate drug delivery provides targeted drug administration with high bioavailability and
compressed dosage administration. In this review analysis, an effort has been made to explore the pathophysiology of type II DM and the
importance of combination therapy using microspheres for the delivery of drugs for the management of type II DM.

Marine tourism contributes socioeconomically to its stakeholders. Appropriate management of perceived price, word-of-mouth (WOM), and tourist satisfaction overall the destination image must be ensured, ultimately influencing tourists’ behaviour. This research looks at the impact of perceived price, word-of-mouth (WOM), and tourist satisfaction on the destination image of Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh, and their subsequent effects on tourist behaviour in the marine destination. Using a quantitative approach and focusing on young, educated, and budget-conscious travelers, data was collected from 426 respondents through structured surveys. The connections among the constructs were evaluated using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The result reveals that perceived price and word of Mouth (WOM) tourist satisfaction significantly influence Cox's Bazar's destination image and mediates their effect on tourist behaviour. It provides useful insights for all stakeholders, especially tourism marketers by pointing to tourist satisfaction to promote goodwill to maintain the sustainability and competitiveness of maritime tourist destinations.

Published: November 2024

Objective: To identify indications for magnesium use and assess physicians' knowledge of different formulations of magnesium in medication and supplements
Method: A descriptive study was conducted online via Google Forms between January 18 and April 20, 2023. The study population consisted of family physicians (general practitioners, residents, and specialists) and internal medicine physicians (residents and specialists) in Ankara. All physicians were attempted to be reached, and no sampling calculation was made. The survey consisted of 15 questions.
Results: A total of 119 physcians completed the survey. The mean age of the physicians who participated in our study was 30.47±4.94 years (min=25, max=48) and 62.2% were female. Of them, 69.7% were family physicians, 30.3% were internal medicine physicians, 77.3% were research assistants and 22.7% were specialists. The most common indications for magnesium treatment were muscle cramps (89.1%) and hypomagnesemia (87.4%); the most commonly used preparations were magnesium oxide (79.8%) and magnesium sulfate (32.8%). The most common indications of using magnesium were cramps (32.4%) and insomnia (13.5%); the most frequently used preparations were magnesium oxide (26.3%), magnesium citrate+malate+glycinate (13.1%), and magnesium biglycinate (13.1%). Physicians who had been practicing for more than 5 years prescribed magnesium more (p=0.010), recommended magnesium supplements more (p=0.020), and used magnesium supplements themselves more (p=0.025) than physicians who had been practicing for 5 years or less. It was found that specialists questioned patients' use of vitamin-mineral supplements more (p=0.044) and recommended magnesium supplements more (p=0.001) than residents. It was found that family physicians prescribed the magnesium used by patients more (p<0.001) and recommended more magnesium-rich nutrition to patients (<0.001) than internal medicine physicians.
Conclusion: The physicians who participated in our study preferred magnesium forms covered by social security institution reimbursement for their patients, whereas they preferred forms with higher bioavailability for their own use. It was observed that family physicians provided more magnesium-rich dietary recommendations and prescribed the magnesium used by the patients than internal medicine physicians.

Pasuruan City, located in East Java, plays a significant role in the fisheries sector, contributing to industrial and trade activities. However, production declines, influenced by poor water quality and flooding, threatens the sustainability of jelak milkfish farming. This study aims to analyze the status and sustainability index of the milkfish farming business using the MDS-Raps method, which evaluates it based on five dimensions: ecology, economy, social aspects, technology, and institutions. The respondents included 41 farmers from four fish farming groups (Pokdakan). The results shows that the business is fairly sustainable, with a multidimensional index of 51.99, meaning it can be continued and developed but does still has room for improvements. The sustainability status by dimension is as follows: ecological (65.24, fairly sustainable), economic (37.39, less sustainable), social (78.72, very sustainable), technological (27.40, less sustainable), and institutional (51.18, fairly sustainable). The study also proposes seven strategies to enhance sustainability and identifies a link between the MDS analysis and SWOT strategies in managing milkfish farming. Each SWOT strategy offers insights for improving the value of individual dimensions in the MDS framework.

The participation of women living in coastal areas in economic endeavors is influenced by unmet household needs which is influenced mainly by the relatively low income generated by their husbands as fishermen. This study aims to understand the role of coastal women in increasing household income in Tajungan Village, Kamal District, Bangkalan Regency, Madura. It identifies their types of work, opinions on their roles, working time allocation, and their contribution to household income. Applying a descriptive-quantitative method, this study finds that coastal women engage in various jobs, including housewives, fish sellers, cracker processors, shopkeepers, domestic helpers, fishing laborers, and shrimp paste processors. More than 70% of coastal women are involved in sales and possess strong financial management skills. They balance household duties and support the local economy, fostering a happy and healthy environment in the home. They spent most of their time resting (38%), compared to productive activities (26%). Although they make a small contribution (25.3%), their income still plays an important role for their families. Skill development programs, financial access, and better support systems for domestic responsibilities are needed to enhance productivity, income, and balance dual roles, improving household welfare.

Authors: Amelina I. O.
Published: November 2024

The article is devoted to revealing the features of quest technology in the educational process, conducting a “live” excursion quest for the development of sociocultural competence of foreign students.

The relevance of the study lies in the need to study the features of creating and conducting excursion quests in the preparation of foreign students.

The purpose of the study is to consider the features of conducting a “live” excursion quest in a foreign audience, to analyze the effectiveness of integrating such a quest into the educational process as a tool for developing sociocultural competence at the pre-university stage. In accordance with the stated purpose of the study, the following tasks are identified: developing a “live” quest as part of a museum excursion; conducting a test to determine the degree of effectiveness of integrating the quest into the educational process.

The development and testing of the quest was carried out on the basis of Southwest State University as part of teaching Russian as a foreign language at the pre-university stage.

During the research process, theoretical, empirical, pedagogical methods were used, such as analysis and synthesis of scientific literature, descriptive method when disclosing the content of the developed excursion quest, and a statistical method when determining the level of formation of students’ socio-cultural knowledge.

The research material was a developed excursion quest designed to work with foreign citizens as part of a visit to the city’s local history museum at the stage of pre-university preparation.

An excursion quest is a promising technology for achieving educational goals when teaching foreign citizens. Quest technology updates the language knowledge, communication skills and abilities of students, while stimulating their cognitive activity and developing such important personality qualities as intelligence, attentiveness, and independence. Sociocultural competence is an integral part of foreign language communicative competence, and a “live” excursion quest, used within the framework of linguoeducation in a foreign audience, is capable, with careful preparation, of effectively introducing foreign speakers to the culture of the country in the context of real urban space, expanding their knowledge of culturally oriented vocabulary, and emphasizing the importance of sociocultural observation.

Published: November 2024

It is of great significance to reveal the influence on the reverse circulation performance and cuttings transport efficiency of Large-diameter pneumatic DTH hammers under different bottom structures to improve their cuttings removal efficiency used in drilling applications. These findings hold significant value for improving rock carrying performance in drilling applications. Using multiphase flow numerical simulations, the effects of three different bottom structures—flat-bottom, concave-bottom, and convex-bottom—on flow field characteristics and cuttings transport efficiency were analyzed. The results indicate that the concave-bottom drill bit demonstrated the best performance in airflow concentration and cuttings suction efficiency, achieving the highest cuttings transport efficiency of 97.67%. Although the convex-bottom drill bit exhibited the highest suction ratio at 51.12%, its cuttings transport efficiency was not significantly better than the other designs. These findings provide theoretical support for the design of bottom shapes in large-diameter DTH hammers and have practical implications for enhancing drilling efficiency.

Review of Automatic Party Popper Stapler Machine
Authors: Halande Ms. Bhakti Rajendra
Published: November 2024

An automated party popper stapler machine is a specialized tool made to automated the process of joining party
poppers stapling components together. A small cylindrical container filled with streamers or confetti and an internal mechanism
that produces a popping effect when activated are the standard components of party poppers. Historically, manually building
these devices has been time-consuming and prone to human error. This problem is resolved by the automated stapler machine,
which uses a number of mechanical arms, sensor, and precision stapling mechanisms to quickly, reliable and effectively secure
the party poppers essential parts. To move the poppers parts through different assembly phases, the machine incorporates
rotating platforms or conveyor belts. The materials are fed into the machine by auto med feeders, which position them perfectly
before stapling. The primary advantages of this system consist of enhanced production speed, reliable quality monitoring and
decreased need for manual labor. More sophisticated models may also includes live quality control checks and the capability to
modify stapling force or setup depending on the dimensions and kind of popper being assembled. Implementing such machines

products is essential.
Experimental Investigation of the Fatigue Behavior of Fiber-Reinforced Composites under Cyclic Loading Conditions
Authors: K V Lavanya
Published: November 2024

The research presented here aims to conduct a performance assessment of fiber-reinforced composites (FRC) under
cyclic loading with emphasis on Glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) & Carbon fiber-reinforced polymers (CFRP). FRCs’
use in engineering applications is occasioned by the high strength-to-weight ratios despite the poor performance under cyclic
loads. In the experiments conducted CFRP was found to more than double the fatigue life for similar applied stress compared to
GFRP. The study also brings out the nature of damage in each composite where GFRP is seen to be more vulnerable to matrix
crack, fiber breakage, and delamination which reduce its fatigue life. On the other hand, CFRP exhibits high stiffness and high
strength, which can prevent further damage to the composite structure and increase Fatigue endurance ability. These
observations imply the necessity of material choice in high-stress conditions and indicate the possibility of utilizing hybrid
composites to achieve a satisfactory combination of cost and service life. The following findings of the investigation of this paper
will thus be useful for the improvement of FRCs in aerospace, automotive, and civil engineering where durability due to cyclic
loading is crucial. Further research should be aimed at considering the influence of temperature and moisture on FRC fatigue
behavior to improve the corresponding reliability at various conditions.
Les principes de détermination de la peine sous la Loi sur le système de justice pénale pour les adolescents : une intégration des rationalités de droits de l’enfant ?
Authors: Laplante-Bédard Clara
Published: November 2024

Résumé
L’article explore comment les principes de détermination de la peine de la Loi sur le système de justice pénale pour les adolescents (LSJPA) intègrent les rationalités des droits de l’enfant. L’analyse se structure en quatre sections : les principes fondamentaux des droits de l’enfant en droit pénal, leurs intégrations dans le cadre de la détermination des peines, les limites de cette intégration, et les pistes de solutions proposées pour renforcer la protection des droits des enfants en conflit avec la loi. Bien que la LSJPA intègre certaines rationalités des droits de l’enfant — la réduction du recours à la détention et l'accent mis sur la réhabilitation — des obstacles subsistent, telles que la réforme de 2012, l’assujettissement des jeunes à des peines pour adultes, et les disparités dans l’application des principes de détermination des peines. L’article appelle à une intégration complète de la Convention relative aux droits de l’enfant en droit canadien.
Summary
This article examines whether the sentencing principles of the Youth Criminal Justice Act (YCJA) effectively integrate the rationalities of rights of children. The analysis is structured into four sections: an overview of fundamental children's rights in criminal justice, an evaluation of their reflection in the YCJA’s sentencing framework, an exploration of limitations in their integration, and a discussion on potential improvements to enhance the protection rights children in Canada’s youth justice system. While the YCJA incorporates certain child rights —such as reduced reliance on detention and emphasis on rehabilitation—significant limitations persist. These include restrictive legislative amendments introduced in 2012, the possibility of adult sentencing, and disparities in sentencing practices. The article concludes by advocating for the fuller incorporation of the Convention on the Rights of the Child into Canadian law to address these challenges and strengthen the protection of children's rights in the youth justice system.

The Adversity Quotient (AQ) is a measure of a person's resilience in adversity and ability to solve problems in Mathematics. In this study, the solution to the two-dimensional shape problem of grade 3 elementary school students was explained based on the adversity quotient. This type of descriptive exploration is used to conduct qualitative research. Three grade III students of SD Muhammadiyah 9 Malang City were involved in this study representing 3 categories of AQ. The tools used are written exam questions, interview guidelines, and observations. One question related to the circumference of a two-dimensional shape is given in the form of a written test. This study analyzed the learning outcomes of three third-grade students through four stages: data transcription, data selection, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results showed two problem-solving patterns based on the AQ category. The first pattern is understanding the problem, planning the problem-solving, executing the plan, and looking back is done by the category of quitters and campers. The second pattern of understanding the problem, planning the problem solving, executing the plan, understanding the problem, planning the problem solving, executing the plan, and looking back is done with the category of climbers.
Identificando argilominerais nas Minas do Camaquã, RS, através do método Spectral Angle Mapper em uma cena ASTER

O presente estudo visou identificar a ocorrência de argilominerais nas Minas do Camaquã/RS através da aplicação do método Spectral Angle Mapper (SAM) numa cena ASTER. O minério de cobre das Minas do Camaquã ocorre na forma de veios, preenchendo falhas subverticais, e disseminado nas rochas sedimentares que recobrem a região. A ocorrência destes corpos de minério também desencadeia um intensivo processo de alteração hidrotermal, marcado pela presença de halos com paragêneses minerais distintas, que representa a manifestação lateral das mineralizações controladas pelas falhas. Um modelo metalogenético do tipo epitermal foi proposto como sendo o responsável pela geração dos fluídos mineralizantes e formação das zonas de alteração. Os principais argilominerais identificados na área foram a montmorillonita e a nontronita, ambos pertencentes ao grupo das esmectitas. Além destes, também foram identificados exemplares do grupo da caulinita (caulinita e haloisita), misturas de caulinita/esmectita e ilita. Quanto à sua gênese, esses argilominerais são produtos comuns da alteração argílica intermediaria, comumente associada a sistemas epitermais, e que pode estar presente nos estágios tardios das alterações hidrotermais desencadeadas pelas mineralizações de cobre nas Minas do Camaquã, assim como pela alteração supergênica dos rejeitos deste depósito.

A alimentação artificial de praia (AAP) é uma técnica amplamente adotada em todo o mundo para a proteção costeira e a restauração de ecossistemas litorâneos afetados pela erosão costeira. Seu objetivo principal é recriar o ambiente natural, proteger infraestruturas urbanas e fornecer espaços recreativos. No Brasil, o processo de licenciamento ambiental é um requisito obrigatório para viabilizar a localização, instalação, ampliação e operação de empreendimentos ou atividades potencialmente poluidoras e/ou utilizadoras de recursos ambientais. Dessa forma, o poder Executivo, por meio de um ato administrativo (licença ambiental) emitida pelo seu órgão competente, estabelece as condições, restrições e medidas de controle ambiental que deverão ser obedecidas pelo empreendedor para determinado empreendimento/atividade. As praias de Canasvieiras e dos Ingleses, situadas no norte da Ilha de Santa Catarina, foram submetidas ao processo de licenciamento ambiental visando o engordamento da faixa de praia, através de sedimentos oriundos de jazidas de empréstimo situadas na plataforma continental interna. A definição adequada da jazida é um fator crucial para o sucesso de um projeto de AAP, uma vez que o sedimento utilizado deve ter um tamanho médio de grãos compatível com a praia a ser alimentada. Portanto, são analisados os aspectos técnicos e peculiaridades dos processos de licenciamento ambiental da AAP, conduzidos pelo Instituto do Meio Ambiente (IMA), nas praias de Canasvieiras e dos Ingleses. A AAP se mostrou uma prática apropriada frente à erosão costeira, em ambos os setores, no entanto, alimentações periódicas devem ser consideradas. O processo de licenciamento ambiental desempenha um papel fundamental na sustentabilidade da AAP, e o monitoramento contínuo é necessário para avaliar os impactos e a eficácia dos projetos.
POLÍTICAS SEXUAIS DA UNÇÃO
Authors: Mochel Lorena
Published: November 2024

O que traz sentidos eróticos a um objeto religioso, ou significados religiosos a um objeto erótico? A partir de uma etnografia realizada com pastoras, missionárias e fiéis que revendem e/ou consomem lingeries, fantasias, “brinquedinhos” e “cosméticos sensuais”, reflito neste artigo sobre como mulheres evangélicas vem produzindo tensões nas fronteiras entre aquilo que nomeiam como erótico e/ou religioso. O trabalho de campo foi realizado em circuitos do nascente mercado erótico gospel que incluiu lojas, feiras eróticas e Chás de Mulheres realizados em igrejas pentecostais, visibilizando formas como a agência sexual de mulheres no âmbito do casamento define prescrições sobre objetos e espaços, acirrando disputas por quem e como se fala de sexo nesse contexto. As políticas sexuais em jogo evidenciaram a unção como categoria que relaciona erótico e religioso, tornando-se central para compreender sensações, memórias e estratégias adotadas para driblar riscos de transitar em fronteiras da sexualidade evangélica.
TRANSFORMAÇÕES NAS PEREGRINAÇÕES CATÓLICAS BRASILEIRAS
Authors: Steil Carlos Alberto
Published: November 2024

O presente artigo faz uma leitura da trajetória do catolicismo, a partir das configurações que as peregrinações assumem em diferentes momentos da história do Brasil. Estas configurações, no entanto, longe de se constituírem em etapas de um processo sucessivo de transformações, convivem e se tensionam no presente, como memória e atualização de diferentes modos de ser católico, apontando para um pluralismo interno ao próprio catolicismo. Neste movimento, serão destacadas quatro modulações do catolicismo que demarcam ênfases específicas na vivência social da fé e na organização institucional da Igreja Católica: o catolicismo popular tradicional, o catolicismo romanizado, o catolicismo da libertação e o catolicismo carismático. O artigo procura, ainda, mostrar como em cada uma dessas modulações surgiram e se configuraram formas específicas de peregrinações. Estas formas de peregrinação, no entanto, não serão interpretadas aqui como reflexos de um processo histórico, mas serão vistas, elas mesmas, como agências produtoras destas modalidades de ser católico, assim como de reprodução e transmissão social do catolicismo no país.

A discussão deste texto, elaborada a partir de uma pesquisa de doutorado realizada em uma escola pública municipal do Rio Grande do Sul, tem por objetivo compreender como a autoetnografia crítica constitui um processo teórico-metodológico de pesquisa que permite reconstruir a prática docente. Para isso, apresentamos o aporte teórico-metodológico da autoetnografia crítica ao relacionar a pesquisa autoetnográfica com a fundamentação conceitual da teoria crítica. Na sequência, utilizamos narrativas de experiências docentes para identificar como os processos recursivos e reflexivos, ambos sustentados na reflexão crítica, têm implicações diretas na formação e na prática docente do pesquisador. Nas considerações finais, dialogamos sobre a autoetnografia crítica como experiência duplamente transformadora, pois envolve processos gradativos e simultâneos de leituras de mundo e reconstrução da prática docente que ocorrem ao longo da própria investigação.

Neste artigo apresentamos um conceito de “práticas corporais integrativas”, tecendo reflexões sobre as práticas corporais no contexto das Práticas Integrativas e Complementares em Saúde. Discutimos apontamentos teórico-metodológicos para o trabalho com estas práticas no Sistema Único de Saúde, dialogando com as tensões do campo da Educação Física, as quais ensejam diferentes formas de abordagem. A argumentação provém de uma tese de doutorado que analisou experiências de grupos de yoga, lian gong, qi gong e danças circulares presentes na Atenção Básica do município de Florianópolis-SC, por meio da metodologia Grounded Theory. As práticas corporais integrativas foram gestadas e institucionalizadas no contexto de mudança do modelo de saúde no Brasil, sinalizando a necessidade de que a produção de conhecimento, a formação e a intervenção profissional absorvam o debate da Reforma Sanitária e da Saúde Coletiva em perspectiva crítica.
