Management of Acute Invasive Fungal Sinusitis
Authors: Swain Santosh Kumar
Published: January 2023

Acute invasive fungal sinusitis (AIFS) is an uncommon and usually life-threatening clinical condition. Mortality in AIFS is very high. The colonization of the fungi at the sinonasal tract does not indicate the infection. The status of the immune condition of the patient plays an integral part in different manifestations of AIFS. AISF is an aggressive type of fungal infection and often leads to a fatal situation, particularly in patients who are immunocompromised. Diagnostic nasal endoscopy, as well as a computed tomography scan, is warranted in these patients. Magnetic resonance imaging improves diagnostic accuracy and assesses the spread of the disease into orbit and the brain. Histopathological and microbiological examinations confirm the diagnosis. To save lives, early diagnosis and treatment are essential. Therefore, clinicians need to have a high level of suspicion for this illness. Management of AIFS requires a multidisciplinary approach with significant predictors of survival being surgical debridement and antifungal treatment. Patients require urgent hospitalizations with intravenous antifungal therapy and surgical debridement. As soon as AIFS is identified, antifungal medication should begin. Higher survival rates are achieved with complete endoscopic resection of the disease than with incomplete resection. Liposomal amphotericin B has a more favorable outcome and fewer side effects than amphotericin B. The mainstays of AIFS management continue to be early surgical debridement and antifungal treatment. This review article discusses the epidemiology, etiopathogenesis, clinical features, investigations, and current treatment options of AIFS.
Przyczyny wybuchu Arabskiej Wiosny w Bahrajnie i Jemenie – analiza porównawcza
Authors: Rogiewicz Paweł , Repczyński Mateusz
Published: January 2023

Niniejszy tekst został zainspirowany wydarzeniami Arabskiej Wiosny, czyli fali aktywizacji społeczeństw państw Afryki Północnej oraz części państw z regionu Bliskiego Wschodu na rzecz przeprowadzenia prodemokratycznych reform, zmian społecznych, a także poprawy sytuacji gospodarczej. Analiza porównawcza przeprowadzona w tym artykule dotyczy dwóch państw położonych w subregionie Zatoki Perskiej, czyli Bahrajnu oraz Jemenu. Sytuacja wewnętrzna w obydwu państwach przekłada się na dynamikę bezpieczeństwa w całym regionie, dlatego też kraje te cieszą się zainteresowaniem Iranu i Arabii Saudyjskiej, które to rywalizują ze sobą o uzyskanie jak największego wpływu w całym regionie. Analiza porównawcza opiera się na trzech czynnikach: politycznym, społecznym i ekonomicznym. Aspekty te miały ogromny wpływ na wydarzenia, do jakich doszło w 2011 r. w tych państwach. Analiza dotycząca wydarzeń w poszczególnych krajach skupiona była głównie na państwach z regionu Maghrebu, czy chociażby Syrii. Procesy do jakich doszło w Bahrajnie i Jemenie nie cieszyły się tak wielkim zainteresowaniem, jak wydarzenia w innych państwach. Niewątpliwie regionalni aktorzy byli żywo zainteresowani procesami toczącymi się w tych krajach, co przełożyło się także na ich zaangażowanie w omawianych wydarzeniach. Porównanie Arabskiej Wiosny w Bahrajnie oraz Jemenie może być pomocne w procesie określania pewnych strukturalnych problemów w arabskich państwach Zatoki Perskiej.

The causes of the outbreak of the Arab Spring in Bahrain and Yemen – a comparative analysis

This text was inspired by the events of the Arab Spring, a wave of activation of the societies of North African countries and some countries in the Middle East region to carry out pro-democratic reforms, and improve the economic situation. The comparative analysis in this article focuses on two countries in the Persian Gulf subregion, namely Bahrain and Yemen. The internal situation in both countries translates into security dynamics throughout the region, which is why these countries are of interest to Iran and Saudi Arabia, both of which are in competition with each other to gain the greatest possible influence throughout the region. The comparative analysis is based on three factors: political, social and economic. These aspects had a huge impact on the events that occurred in 2011 in these countries. The analysis on events in individual countries focused mainly on countries in the Maghreb region, or at least Syria. The trials that took place in Bahrain and Yemen did not receive as much attention as events in other countries. Undoubtedly, regional actors had a keen interest in the events taking place in these countries, which also translated into their involvement in the events under discussion. A comparison of the Arab Spring in Bahrain and Yemen can be helpful in the process of identifying certain structural problems in the Arab states of the Persian Gulf.
Krewny, który stał się wrogiem. Rewizja stosunków ukraińsko-białoruskich w latach 2020-2022
Authors: Kamionka Mateusz
Published: January 2023

Ukrainę i Białoruś łączyła wspólna historia, podobna kultura, język i obecnie granica. Mogło się wydawać, że kraje te trudno podzielić i nawet mimo rządów autorytarnych Aleksandra Łukaszenki przyjazne stosunki będą trwać latami. Jednak zbrojna agresja Federacji Rosyjskiej na Ukrainę w lutym 2022 r., w tym atak z terytorium Białorusi, jednoznacznie zniszczył – wydawało się – głęboką współpracę budowaną ponad 30 lat. W artykule autor postara się odpowiedzieć, jak doszło do tego ogromnego zwrotu w stosunkach bilateralnych i czy możliwe są odwrotne działania w przyszłości.

A relative who has become an enemy. Revision of Ukrainian-Belarusian relations in 2020-2022

Ukraine and Belarus were linked by a common history, similar culture, language and border. It seemed that these countries were difficult to divide, and despite Alexander Lukashenko’s authoritarian rule, friendly relations would last for years. However, the armed aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine in February 2022, including the attack from the territory of Belarus, clearly destroyed – it seemed – the deep cooperation that had been built for over 30 years. In the article, the author will try to answer how this huge shift in bilateral relations took place, and whether the opposite actions are possible in the future.
„Political Re-education Camps” in Xinjiang as a part of panopticon-like Society: Clashing Discourses of Western and Chinese Media
Authors: Çiçek Ayşe
Published: January 2023

Today, we see crimes against humanity in the 21st century in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region within the borders of China. Human rights violations experienced by Uyghurs living in the aforementioned geography for centuries are not a new development, but they remain up-to-date. The state’s approach to the Uyghur people has evolved into a new dimension with the camps, which are described as vocational training centers by the state and also known as political re-education camps and internment camps in the literature. These camps, which are part of the state’s security policies, have inevitably been the subject of many research, especially in the context of human rights violations. This article explores how political re-education camps, unlike others, are represented in some Western media sources and in the Chinese media, using the method of critical discourse analysis. The analysis revealed that the camps have been a part of a panopticon-like society and places where the lives of Uyghurs are surveilled from every angle, and both violation of rights and political indoctrination have been experienced. However, these places have been portrayed by the Chinese media as places where minorities have been rendered safe, enabling stability, security and development.

„Polityczne obozy reedukacyjne” w Xinjiangu jako element społeczeństwa panoptykonowego. Ścierające się dyskursy zachodnich i chińskich mediów

W XXI w. możemy zauważyć zbrodnie przeciwko ludzkości w Regionie Autonomicznym Sinkiang-Ujgur, znajdujący się w granicach Chin. Naruszenia praw człowieka doświadczane przez żyjących od stuleci w tym regionie Ujgurów nie stanowią żadnej nowości. Stosunek państwa do Ujgurów ewoluował w nowy wymiar wraz z powstaniem obozów, które władze określają jako ośrodki szkolenia zawodowego, a w literaturze znane są również jako obozy reedukacji politycznej czy też internowania. Będące częścią polityki bezpieczeństwa państwa obozy stały się nieuchronnie przedmiotem szeregu badań, zwłaszcza w kontekście łamania praw człowieka. W niniejszym artykule, korzystając z metody krytycznej analizy dyskursu, poszukiwana jest odpowiedź na pytanie, w jaki sposób obozy reedukacji politycznej, w przeciwieństwie do innych, są ukazywane w wybranych mediach zachodnich i chińskich. Analiza wykazała, że obozy stanowią część społeczeństwa skonstruowanego na wzór Panoptikonu, w którym życie Ujgurów jest monitorowane pod każdym kątem, gdzie doświadczano zarówno łamania praw, jak i indoktrynacji politycznej. Jednakże chińskie media przedstawiają je jako miejsca, dzięki którym życie mniejszości staje się bezpieczniejsze, stabilniejsze i nastawione na rozwój.
Polityka Niemiec w stosunku do proklamacji ukraińskiej niepodległości i jej następstwa w ostatniej dekadzie XX w.
Authors: Siekierka Michał
Published: January 2023

Celem badawczym niniejszego tekstu jest ukazanie stanowiska Niemiec w stosunku do proklamacji ukraińskiej niepodległości oraz analiza stosunków niemiecko-ukraińskich w latach 90. XX w. Historyczne powiązania między Niemcami a Ukraińcami były bardzo głębokie. Jednak natura tych relacji pozostawała asymetryczna. Nie ulega wątpliwości, że dobre relacje z Rosją były w okresie lat 90. XX w. dla Niemiec priorytetowe w porównaniu z byłymi republikami sowieckimi. Przyczyn takiego stanu rzeczy można upatrywać w wielu czynnikach: politycznych, gospodarczych i historycznych. Począwszy od 1991 r. Niemcy nie posiadały klarownego, sprecyzowanego i celowego programu politycznego w stosunku do Ukrainy, a wszelkie polityczne działania były wypadkową relacji z Rosją, która stanowiła główny punkt odniesienia dla polityki wschodniej Berlina.

German policy towards the proclamation of Ukrainian independence and its aftermath in the last decade of the 20th century

The purpose of the paper is to show the most important dimensions which shaped the German-Ukrainian relations in the year 1991 and and the rest of the 90s. Nature of these relationships remained asymmetric. There is no doubt that good relations with Russia were a priority for Germany in the 1990s compared to the former Soviet republics. The reasons for this can be found in many factors: political, economic and historical. The German-Ukrainian relations were strongly determined the German-Russian relations which were the main point of reference for Berlin’s eastern policy.

Published: January 2023

Food commodities such as shallots and garlic are still a concern for the Indonesian people, this is because prices are not fixed and fluctuate for each period. It is these price fluctuations that cause high price volatility. An illustration of the magnitude of the risks that will be faced by economic actors in the future can be illustrated by the magnitude of price changes that indicate market fluctuations in a period of time. The model that can be used to analyze the nature of price volatility is Autoregressive Conditional Heteroscedasticity (ARCH) and Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroscedasticity (GARCH). The purpose of this study was to determine the price volatility of shallots and garlic in West Java Province for the period January 2013 to December 2021. The results showed that retail prices for garlic were heteroscedastic, so the model that was more suitable was ARCH/GARCH. As for the commodity of shallots that are homoscedastic, the model that is carried out is only up to the ARIMA model analysis. The volatility model for garlic is the ARCH(1) model. The results of the model estimation show that garlic price volatility is quite high

The background to this research problem begins with the results of observations where students are weak in performing arithmetic operations so students need a long time to perform simple calculations. Besides taking a long time, students are also weak in stacked calculations. For example in addition, where there are students who forget to put inserts, so the inserts are not added up which results in erroneous results. Students have difficulty solving questions with more than two numbers and students rely more on calculators or cell phones (hand phones) for calculating. Then the paradigm which states that mathematics is a complex subject makes students less interested in this lesson. To overcome this, it is necessary to update learning methods, including using the mathemagics. In this mathematics method calculations, are given in a simple and interesting way so that students are more motivated to learn mathematics and instill in students that mathematics is fun. The purpose of this study was to find out whether the learning outcomes of students who were taught with mathemagics were better than the learning outcomes of students who were taught without mathemagics. This research is experimental research with a randomized control group-only design. The research population was class VII junior high school students. The research sample was taken randomly after being tested for normality, homogeneity and average similarity. Data processing of the final test results is done through hypothesis testing using the t-test. After doing the calculation, it is obtained t count > t table (1.779 > 1.645). It was also seen from the average value of the two samples, the average value of the experimental class was 72.42 while the average value of the control class was 67.63. The standard deviation of the experimental class and control class is 11.215 and 11.034. This shows that the proposed hypothesis is accepted. This means that the mathematics learning outcomes of students who are taught with mathemagics are better than those who are taught without mathemagics

The business world recognizes that leasing can be used as an alternative financing, especially in the delivery of capital goods or other equipment. Finance or leasing companies are the priority chosen by the community as credit to obtain assets. Today, Islamic and conventional finance companies pay less attention to the principle of prudence in dealing with financing risks. With easy terms for making credit flows, finance companies face the risk of bad debts. This research method uses a library research approach that comes from credible journals and authoritative news stories. In this method the author tries to give a real picture of the financing risks that occur. The results of the study indicate that financing is a gift in the form of money which is carried out on the basis of mutual agreement by both parties between the owner of capital and the recipient of capital on the condition that the return of financing is carried out periodically within the time specified in accordance with the agreement. Financing risk management is risk management that focuses on risks that can be managed using financial instruments. Keywords: Management; Risk; Financing

People's preference for saving in islamic banks can be determined by how much they know or understand about islamic banks and services, as well as how easily they can access islamic banking, and how much this influences their interest in Bacan District. Multiple linear regression has been used to determine the impact of knowledge on people's interest in saving money at islamic banks there. The findings revealed that the knowledge component (P1), which had a probability value of 0.00%, had a substantial impact. The study's findings on the service variable (P2) indicate that there is a lack of public interest in saving in islamic banks, with a likelihood value of 0.87%. The findings disprove the idea that low public interest in saving at islamic banks is a result of poor service. According to earlier research by Maysaroh (2014), location factors have a significant impact on customers' decisions, however the impact is not very strong. In contrast to earlier studies, the findings of which are invariably significant, this study. The location variable (P3) had no statistically significant impact. Despite being easily accessible and including security indications and location techniques, P3 remains the most prominent signal. Additionally, islamic banks must make islamic banking systems and products available to the general public in order to gauge that population's interest in islamic banks.

Published: January 2023

The purpose of this study is to develop a teaching-learning model using argumentative questions as an effective method for a discussion class. The researcher guided the students to learn the concept of argument as an essential part while learning the ＜Reading Classics of Great Literature＞ course at Pusan National University. This learning process can improve the student’s ability to analyze classical works logically, and to identify correct arguments and errors in discussion activities. As a result learners can realize that the argumentation of a specific topic can be opened in another way through analysis of classical works and discussion activities based on the concept of argumentation. In other words, the learner discover new question to argumentation. This researcher thinks that the learner’s ability to ask such questions eventually approaches the pedagogical significance of promoting true creativity.
Role of Channel Migration and Influencing Hydro-Geomorphic Attributes in Dibru River Basin Using Remote Sensing and GIS
Authors: Sonowal Gulap , Thakuriah Gitika , Hazarika Satyendra
Published: January 2023

The action of the river is dynamic and exhibits morphological changes over time. River channel migration may take place because of sedimentation, geology, soil properties, geomorphic setup, precipitation, land use pattern, natural bank geometry (e.g., channel width, meander length, meander wavelength, amplitude, the radius of curvature, arc angle, and sinuosity), discharges of various frequencies (Brice 1982, MacDonald et al. 1991, Garcia et al. 1994), distribution of riparian vegetation, and vertical and horizontal heterogeneity of floodplain soils (Motta et al. 2012), etc. are some factors for channel migration. The present study is undertaken in the Dibru River Basin, the left-bank tributary of the Brahmaputra River. To identify the Spatio-temporal changes, satellite imagery is used in the GIS environment. The extraction of the river is done from the GIS software (Arc GIS 10.4) by digitizing process and tries to overlay the different time periods of shifting of the river and find out the rate of magnitude and nature of the river course changes. An interval of 10 years is taken to find the rate of magnitude and nature of changes in the river courses from satellite imagery. The time period is taken from 1977-2020 at 10 years intervals. Along with the rate of river course changes, channel avulsion is also shown with the help of satellite imagery. The Dibru Saikhowa National Park falls within the Dibru river basin, where numerous streams are found, within the national park. The Saikhoa river and Ajuka river flow within the national park. The Sursa river is a small channel linked with the Dangori river. With phases of time, the river made a headward erosion and confluence with the Ajuka river and formed a channel. The Saikhoa river flowed till 1987; due to deposition, the river abandoned its original course. In 1988, the Ajuka river and Sursa river merged and flowed northwest direction. The high discharges of the Lohit river diverted towards the Ajuka and Sursa Rivers and took a new channel named the Lower course of Lohit river within the study area. It can be called an avulsion channel because it changed its direction from its original to a new course in 1990. Since 1990, the course of the channel has been tremendously expanding its length and breadth, causing a flood, bank erosion, and deposition nearby human habitats and Dibru Saikhowa National Park. From the multi-temporal satellite imagery, the river courses were studied, and found the year of avulsion took place in the channel. Multi-temporal satellite imagery is used to identify the channel’s avulsion. An avulsion is the rapid separation of a river channel to form a new course, which is only possible due to flood, high discharge, soil properties or tectonic activity, etc. that creates instability and causes the channel avulsion.
Mountainous City Landscape Water Supply System Potential Carbon Footprint: Case of the Philippines’ Catbalogan Sky City Mega Project
Authors: Orale Ronald L. , Montecastro Doris
Published: January 2023

Catbalogan Sky City Mega Project (CSCMP) is a climate-change (CC) adaptation strategy proposed after Typhoon Haiyan devastated the Philippines in November 2013. It is currently being built on top of a hill about 120m from sea level to avoid the impact of storm surges, sea-level rise, and flooding. With the city’s continued expansion, water demand further worsens the supply gap. This study focused on determining the carbon footprint of the proposed water supply scarcity solution. This solution includes the construction of a reservoir to receive runoff water from the watershed where the CSCMP is located. Results of the study show that the reservoir can supply the water requirement for the entire city. However, the carbon footprint of the recommended solution is between 123% and 557% due to water treatment of heavily contaminated runoff water and the power consumption in distributing water to higher elevations. There is a need for the city to design a harvesting system that will reduce the need for more intense water treatment (i.e., reducing exposure of runoff water to contaminants) and the use of renewable energy in powering pumps and other treatment activities.

Published: January 2023

In recent years, palm oil production has grown rapidly as a result of rising demand. Oil palm plantations have been established on thousands of acres to meet this demand. The objective of this study is to assess the suitability of oil palm production as driven by soil, climate, and land use. The land suitability assessment (LSA) method was adopted in this study. We use geospatial techniques of overlay mapping as a suitable land suitability assessment method, in which the evaluation criteria are recorded as superimposed layers. A land suitability map is produced by integrating these layers into a single layer. The method is also applied to delineate available areas for growing oil palm in Peninsular Malaysia. The findings revealed that suitable soil areas for oil palm production are extensively found in the selected regions of Peninsular Malaysia, in states like Selangor and some parts of Kedah, Kelantan, and Terengganu with clay loam and sandy loam soil properties, while in the southern region like Melaka, moderate suitability for oil palm production was found due to the domination of clay soil in the area. Highly suitable areas were estimated (mean annual water deficit <150 mm) to be 3688254.00 ha (29.54%) of the total land area; suitable areas (mean annual water deficit <250 mm) were 6540669.00 ha (52.38%); moderately suitable areas were (mean annual water deficit <400 mm) 2227500.00 ha (17.84%), and unsuitable areas (mean annual water deficit >400mm) for oil palm production as a result of poor water availability was 31104.00ha (0.25%). The Land Use Land Cover Map of Peninsular Malaysia revealed the suitable areas to cover an average of 10885001.46 ha (82.45%), water bodies 1239505.58 ha (9.39%), built-up areas (unsuitable areas) 1051544.34 ha (7.96%), and bare surface areas are also not suitable areas for oil palm production at 26509.73 ha (0.20%). This study recommends that oil palm plantations be expanded into areas with highly suitable soils and climates.

Published: January 2023

The possibility of contaminants percolating and diffusing into the groundwater system is referred to as groundwater vulnerability. When groundwater once gets polluted it is very difficult to process/clean it so, measures must be taken to assess the vulnerability of the groundwater for effective groundwater conservation and management planning. This study aims to evaluate and map the vulnerability of Raipur city using the SINTACS and DRASTIC models and to compare their effectiveness between them. To assess the hydrogeological setting and evaluate aquifer vulnerability, each model includes seven environmental parameters (aquifer hydrogeologic features, effective infiltration, topographic slope, soil media, water table depth, unsaturated conditions, and hydraulic conductivity). The parameter data sets are evaluated in a Geographical Information system (GIS) environment to get the vulnerability index (VI), the index is categorized into five classes that show low to high vulnerability. The area under the low class for DRASTIC and SINTACS is 26.14% and 20.34% respectively whereas for the highly vulnerable class it is 15.54% and 22.54% respectively of the total area. By comparing the 15-groundwater sample value of nitrate concentration on the two vulnerability maps it was found that the SINTACS method result was shown to be significantly associated with the nitrate concentration with an accuracy of 86.7 percent.
Anthropogenic Influence on Protected Areas: A Case Study of Achanakmar Tiger Reserve (ATR), Chhattisgarh, India
Authors: Mahato Anupama , Singh S. S.
Published: January 2023

India’s broad network of protected areas, which encompasses 4.93% of the country’s geographical area, is exposed to immense anthropogenic pressures that can create an imbalance and also hinder the prime objective of wildlife conservation and protection. The present study assesses some of these problems in relation to the Achanakmar Tiger Reserve (ATR). The main anthropogenic influence in ATR is the presence of eighteen core villages, five buffer villages, and 49 fringe villages in the periphery of the reserve area. The population density of the core zone was higher (16.0 people/km2) as compared to the buffer zone (7.41 people/km2). Another important disturbance in the protected area is state highway 8 which bisects the entire core zone into two halves. This highway also connects the neighboring state of Madhya Pradesh and there is the continuous movement of traffic, which hampers the smooth movement of wild animals. ATR also has a wide network of tourist roads of 192 km passing through the core zone. The average population density of livestock in ATR is relatively high compared to the average population of wild ungulates. It creates competition between wild ungulates for food, and they are also under constant threat of infectious diseases. The livestock depredation by apex predators is one of the major reasons for man-wildlife conflict in ATR. The cattle kill incidences by both the apex predator (tiger and leopard) was 378 during the period of three years (2015 to 2018) and these incidences were recorded more in the core zone as compared to the buffer zone. In the present study, anthropogenic effects on ATR have been studied and evaluated. It concludes that for effective management and conservation of tigers in ATR, these aspects need to be considered. To restore the tiger population in ATR, there must be a proper balance between human (anthropogenic) approaches and conservation benefits for the effective sustainability of the protected areas.
Representaciones de la violencia en el cine mexicano premiado en festivales internacionales 2000-2020
Authors: Bañuelos Capistrán Jacob , Olmedo Estrada Juan Carlos
Published: January 2023

La presente investigación tiene como objetivo central identificar y analizar las temáticas del cine mexicano premiado en festivales internacionales nodales entre 2000 y 2020. El estudio emplea una metodología mixta que combina una búsqueda longitudinal para la conformación de una base de datos histórica sobre películas premiadas mexicanas en festivales internacionales durante dos décadas. La metodología cuantitativa se usa para conocer el número de películas mexicanas premiadas internacionalmente, así como su evolución en el tiempo y sus temáticas durante las décadas de 2000 a 2020, a través de la construcción de una base de datos con fundamento en informes y bases de datos especializadas. El análisis teórico-metodológico de los discursos cinematográficos se realiza con base en los conceptos sobre la violencia desarrollados por Galtung, Foucault, Arendt, Butler, Magnani, Han, así como desde el concepto de estructura del sentimiento de Williams. El estudio revela que un 81% de los premios recibidos por la cinematografía mexicana en festivales internacionales trata sobre un tipo de violencia estructural, directa o cultural, expresadas a través de la violencia de Estado, pobreza y desigualdad, violencia de género, violencia intrafamiliar y la guerra contra el narcotráfico. El cine mexicano que ha participado durante las últimas dos décadas en festivales internacionales nodales, ha experimentado una tendencia progresiva a tratar temas relacionados con la violencia en México y es previsible que siga esta tendencia.
Ecos de outras Áfricas: festas domiciliares de santos católicos nas Américas
Authors: Iyanaga Michael
Published: January 2023

O trabalho visa reimaginar o legado africano nas Américas. Em particular, o foco do texto são as festas domiciliares de santos católicos que as pessoas celebram hoje em alguns países específicos da América: Venezuela, Brasil, Colômbia, Equador e República Dominicana. De forma significativa, as celebrações musicais para os santos católicos que se realizam em casas particulares nestas várias localidades da América são bastante parecidas em termos tanto cosmológicos como estéticos. Isso se deve, em grande parte, a uma matriz comum não só na Ibéria como também na África Central, pois, ao comparar as dimensões musicais, estruturais, sociais e cosmológicas destas festas americanas numa perspectiva histórica, percebemos que seriam evidentes frutos da contribuição centro-africana às Américas, e especialmente do catolicismo centro-africano que começou a se desenvolver desde o século XV. Ainda, o texto procura avançar –– de modo implícito –– um argumento metodológico-teórico de que as práticas musicais têm uma historicidade que deixa com que o seu estudo (especialmente quando comparativo e historicizado) possa fazer ressoar vozes e narrativas esquecidas e silenciadas.
metodologia da preguiça: concepções sobre o processo criativo em um manuscrito musical de Mário de Andrade
Authors: De Carvalho Teixeira Maurício
Published: January 2023

Na leitura de Macunaíma, principal romance de Mário de Andrade, logo se percebe que a preguiça está no centro dos acontecimentos. Um levantamento documental mostra que essa questão se potencializa nas pesquisas desse autor sobre os processos de criação da poesia cantada no Brasil. A preguiça, nesse caso, está ligada a uma economia necessária à produção, fruto de um procedimento técnico, com suas origens nas tradições populares e nos embates culturais. Este artigo observa estudos que ajudam a analisar a ocorrência do termo preguiça na sociedade e na arte. Percorre pontos do pensamento musical modernista para relacionar com o manuscrito Poética popular de Mário de Andrade, pertencente ao arquivo do Instituto de Estudos Brasileiros da Universidade de São Paulo.

Authors: Parmar Unnati , Mishra Ankit Kumar Mishra
Published: January 2023

Shape memory alloys (SMA) are innovatively designed for engineering applications including, but not limited to, medical devices, actuators, micromechanical systems, deployable structures, and elastocaloric devices. Prior to the manufacture of any component for the above mentioned applications, an extensive simulation study is recommended as the basic properties are required to be filled in the software. The unavailability of to-the-point literature makes this task difficult for researches. In this paper, an overview of binary NiTi based shape memory alloy is given, where its characteristic physical properties i.e. shape memory effect and super elastic effect, and mechanical properties like fatigue failure, stress-strain characteristics and yield and ultimate strength is stated for several different specimens prepared using thermomechanical methods.
