Explication of Threat in the Bilingual Worldview of Belarusians: An Experimental Study
Authors: Lavitski Anton A.
Published: April 2024

The study presents the results of a comparative study of the characteristics of the perception of verbal manifestations of a threat as an unlawful act in the aspects of its explication in the bilingual worldview of Belarusians. Additionally, the features of everyday and scientific (linguo-legal) understanding of speech statements containing signs of threat were subjected to comparative analysis. The study reflects issues related to the understanding of the category “picture of the world” from the perspective of the theory of bilingualism and modern legal linguistics, the phenomenon of threat as a criminal offense committed verbally. The practical part of the work was implemented in the form of an experimental survey, in which two groups of 70 people of natural bilinguals took part, who completed a task in Belarusian or Russian: select one or more statements from the proposed list, which, in their opinion, can be legally interpreted as a threat. The results of the experimental study showed the presence of discrepancies in the verbalization of the threat depending on the language code used: in the group that worked with Belarusian-language material, the absolute number of respondents who chose the statement “I will adjudicate and exterminate my justice - execution!” in one or another combination of answers was 41 people (58.6 %). Among respondents who completed the task in Russian, this figure is 31.7 % (26 people), which is lower, even taking into account the possible error. An analysis of all the respondents’ answers allowed us to conclude that in the everyday picture of the world of Belarusians, the explication of a threat often does not require an indication of the addresser, as well as an identifiable type of potential harm.
Ahmadu Kuruma’s Novel Allah n’est pas oblige - As an Example of a Polylingual Text
Authors: Traore Yaya
Published: April 2024

Writing in the ethnic languages of Africa arose relatively recently on a historical scale, so local writers used the languages of the colonialists in their works of fiction. However, some of them did not completely break with the languages of their localities, capturing in their works the linguistic diversity characteristic of the living environment. The material of our research is the novel Allah n’est pas obligé (Allah is not obligated) by the Ivorian writer Ahmadou Kuruma, published in 2000. The literary work is considered as an example of multilingual artistic creation - French as the official language of Ivory Coast, Malinke as the author's native language and Liberian English (pidgin, originated in the territories of Liberia and Sierra Leone), common in this region. The article describes the linguistic ways of expressing the oral tradition of African storytellers, although the content of Kuruma’s work touches on topics relevant to modern Africa (the use of proverbs, repeated repetitions, literal translation of words and expressions from other languages). The main method of research is the linguistic analysis of the text. It is shown that multilingualism and the use of traditional storytelling techniques are key characteristics of the writer’s work, which contributes to the popularity of his works on the African continent.

Spatial differentiation at the micro level (example of Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia)
Authors: Bogdanov V.N. , Dugarova G.B.
Published: April 2024

The authors examine the spatial dynamics and distribution of the population and analyze the features and nature of Ulaanbaatar, the capital of Mongolia, development. A geoinformation system that enables spatial analysis of data and obtaining new knowledge at multi-scale levels was created. Based on the compiled maps, intra-district differences are described in terms of khoroo, showing real differentiation within the city. The feature of the article is the study of the territory at the level of urban microdistricts (khoroo), which is practically focused along with the possibility of using the results obtained for operational management and identifying various problems, such as those of unbalanced development of the urban area, due primarily to the colossal intra-city differentiation of many factors, for instance, the dynamics and distribution of the population, the provision of infrastructure facilities, transport accessibility, etc. The study revealed that the city`s population is gradually shifting to new residential developments surrounding the center, with relatively good social conditions, while at the same time the residents are moving out of khoroo with old yurt buildings and poor quality of life, but almost half of them are still living there
Comparative assessment of the terrain objects contours’ geometric complexity at implementing state land supervision and monitoring, an example of capital construction projects
Authors: Portnov A.M. , Dobrovolsky D.О.
Published: April 2024

The authors substantiate the relevance of the tasks of developing methods ensuring the greatest efficiency of implementing state land supervision and monitoring using automated procedures for the centralized formation of an annual inspection plan. The mechanisms of identifying natural objects, buildings and structures as potential ones included in the annual inspection plans on the mentioned issue are described. This meets many goals and, above all, the safety of land use, and eliminating negative processes of land degradation. Examples of using aerial photographs as the most significant practice at detecting violations in the field of land protection and use are given. To a greater extent, this applies to real estate cadastre objects with simpler geometric shapes, e.g. boundaries of land plots, buildings. The methods of comparing the geometric complexity of contours proposed in the study enable creating automated mechanisms and determine discrepancies between the actual and recorded characteristics of control objects, depending on the set goals and objectives. The expediency determining mechanisms of automated search for features with signs of land legislation violations are presented. It simplifies the implementation of control measures and makes the inspection system itself more transparent. The purpose of the research was to study the possibility of applying the theory of geometric complexity in the implementation of a centralized system of state land supervision and monitoring. In this regard, we made an attempt to use Minkovsky metrics for simpler geometric structures in contrast to natural objects, as well as morphometric indicators to identify those where land legislation is not being followed. The relative criteria values of the real estate cadastre control’s compared objects’ geometric complexity are numerically determined and proposed
Results of creating an altitude-base using a local quasi-geoid model in the Republic of Lebanon
Authors: Mustafin M.G. , Moussa Kh.I.
Published: April 2024

The technology for determining the coordinates of points on the earth using the global navigation satellite system (GNSS) is becoming a standard along with ground-based methods. In this case, determining the plane coordinates of points does not cause any particular difficulties. However, to identify normal altitudes using this technique with a given accuracy, a special research is required. The fact is that according to satellite definitions, the geodetic height (H) is directly obtained, which differs from the normal one (HN) by an amount called height anomaly. This and the above mentioned value itself can be determined from the results of satellite leveling, taking into account the gravitational model of the Earth. But without clarification through ground measurements the result may not meet the required accuracy. In this work, geodetic and normal heights were determined for 5 control points in the Mount Lebanon region, where surveys were carried out using GNSS technology and geometric levelling. The obtained data were compared with satellite levelling one using the EGM2008 Earth model. In this case, geometric levelling was performed along different routes to ensure the information redundancy and determine average values. Thus, the normal heights obtained using the referred technology (quasi-geoid) served to correct those of the EGM2008 Earth model. The results of creating an altitudinal base in a local area corresponding to the foothill area are presented

Authors: Syelvita Rema , Amin Qodri M. , Annisa Afro Fakhriyah
Published: April 2024

This article discusses the controversial issue of victims of online lending (Pinjol) and whether they are eligible to receive zakat. Online lending has become a social problem affecting many people who are trapped in difficult debt situations. This discussion raises ethical and humanitarian aspects of assisting Pinjol victims. The fundamental question is what criteria make Pinjol victims eligible to receive zakat, a conventional form of assistance given to the poor and needy. The aim of this article is to explore the concept of victims in the context of online lending and consider the Islamic legal aspects related to the acceptance of zakat. The article provides an in-depth analysis of the impact of Pinjol on the financial lives of communities, considering factors such as interest rates, lending practices, and the psychological impact on borrowers. Furthermore, the article discusses the principles of Islamic Sharia related to zakat, such as the criteria for zakat recipients, justice, and debt management. The analytical method used is a qualitative descriptive approach, utilizing literature studies and Islamic legal perspectives on the status of Pinjol victims as gharimin (debtors). It is hoped that the results of this research will provide a clear understanding of whether those indebted to Pinjol can be considered victims and eligible for zakat. Additionally, this article can serve as a guide for zakat institutions, governments, and communities to develop more effective ways of providing assistance to those affected by the negative impacts of online lending.

Published: April 2024

Introduction: CERA, the Council of Academic Family Medicine (CAFM) Educational Research Alliance, represents a unique collaboration between family medicine organizations, conducting annual surveys of distinct groups within family medicine. CERA’s mission is to support family medicine educational research. This paper presents the methods and demographic results of the 2023 General Membership Survey. Methods: CERA’s call for proposals for the annual General Membership Survey opened from June 2023 to July 2023. We received 16 proposals, and after a peer review process, five topics were accepted. Each author was assigned a research mentor. Because all the accepted proposals targeted physicians, the survey was distributed to select members of the CAFM organizations via SurveyMonkey from November 20, 2023 through December 22, 2023. We used χ2 and Fisher’s exact tests for analysis. Results: The final pool size was 3,598. Eight-hundred thirty-three members completed the survey, for a response rate of 23.2% (833/3,598). Demographic data of potential survey respondents were compared with data of actual respondents. There were no significant differences in gender, location and underrepresented in medicine status. Actual survey respondents were slightly older, less likely Asian, and more likely to have a doctor of medicine (MD) or combined doctorate degree compared to potential survey respondents. Conclusion: This paper describes the methods of the 2023 CERA General Membership Survey. The 2023 survey focused on active physicians. The demographics of the survey respondents differed slightly from potential respondents. Authors of the five accepted survey topics are responsible for publishing their study findings.

Goal setting for family firm owners: An agency-stewardship perspective
Authors: Raghavan Srividya
Published: April 2024

Goal setting for family firms is a vital activity since the performance of businesses is measured against their goals. Using prior research on goal-setting in the context of family firms, this narrative literature review paper aims to bring forth, the importance of goal-setting specific to family business owners who straddle family and business. A review of family-business literature indicates that using the three-circle model comprising family, business, and ownership as the base theory, goal setting in family firms has been examined from the perspective of whether they are economic or non-economic and whether they are family-oriented or business-oriented. Both these approaches to family business goal setting are based on the ideology that the unique feature of family businesses is that they aim to satisfy two groups of stakeholders — family members and business members. While family and business perspectives are captured in these two approaches, goal setting from an owner’s perspective has been largely ignored. Rooted in the concept of corporate responsibility, the agency-stewardship framework is emerging as an alternative perspective for family businesses and hence is proposed as a useful dominant logic framework for decisions on goal setting. This conceptual paper based on a narrative literature review aims to present the agency-stewardship framework as a relevant and important lens in the two most important decision contexts of family businesses, i.e., governance and succession. The paper exemplifies how the agency-stewardship continuum can be used for goal setting to nurture next-generation family business leaders and manage family business operations through goal setting in governance policies and succession processes.
THE LARGE AND CENTRAL Caligo martia EYESPOT MAY REDUCE FATAL ATTACKS BY BIRDS: A CASE STUDY SUPPORTS THE DEFLECTION HYPOTHESIS IN NATURE

Published: April 2024

Many animals have colorations that resemble eyes, but the functions of
such eyespots are debated. Caligo martia (Godart, 1824)
butterflies have large ventral hind wing eyespots, and we aimed to test
whether these eyespots act to deflect or to thwart bird attacks through
intimidation in a natural community in a Restinga Forest in
austral South America. We used four types of paper facsimiles:
unmanipulated C. martia (with eyespots, WE), facsimiles with UV
enhanced eyespots (UV), camouflaged facsimiles lacking eyespots (CM),
and light-coloured facsimiles that were not camouflaged and lacked
eyespots (NC). Two experiments were performed: Experiment 1 used
facsimiles in a natural resting position, and in Experiment 2 facsimiles
were positioned with the wings open, with ventral wing surfaces and body
exposed to viewers. In both experiments facsimiles were placed in two
forest sites, organized in 50 blocks with four facsimiles each, and
checked for predator attacks every 24 h for five consecutive days. While
WE and UV facsimiles were mostly attacked in non-vital areas (wings),
most bird attacks on CM were directed at vital body areas. Notably, CM
facsimiles had lower attack probability than WE, UV and NC. Our results
indicate that C. martia eyespots appear to have a deflection
function. Eyespots did not appear to reduce attack rates, suggesting
that local bird species were not intimidated. Both eyespots and
camouflage can be considered efficient functional traits in defence
against predation in forest environments, and experiments focusing on
local predators and prey are key to our understanding of wing pattern
evolution in Lepidoptera.
Hydropeaking Mitigation with Re-Regulation Reservoirs
Authors: Mchayk Ali , Marttila Hannu , Klöve Björn , Haghighi Ali Torabi
Published: April 2024

The role of hydropower as a renewable and balancing power source is
expected to significantly increase in a Net Zero Emissions by 2050
scenario. As a common phenomenon in hydropower plants, hydropeaking will
become more prominent, resulting in additional stresses on the
ecological status of rivers. Here we propose a novel approach to design
and operate auxiliary reservoirs called re-regulation reservoirs that
aims to mitigate the adverse impacts of hydropeaking on rivers. A
re-regulation reservoir aims at smoothing flow fluctuations caused by
hydropeaking by diverting and retaining parts of high flows and
returning them back to river corridors during low flows. The regulatory
performance of re-regulation reservoirs is a function of its geometry
and volume availability. It is defined (and optimized) by restricting
various flow components thresholds. Using actual data from a
hydropeaking-influenced river system, the operation and efficiency of
potential re-regulation reservoir have been investigated by employing a
range of thresholds for hydropeaking mitigation. A methodology and an
open-access algorithm to operate re-regulation reservoirs, by
establishing a hierarchy of conditions to restrict peak flow, minimum
flow, up-ramping rates, and down-ramping rates was developed. Our
calculations show clear theoretical possibilities for regulating
hydropeaking with re-regulation reservoirs, while offering several
advantages, including greater flexibility and adaptability to changing
environmental conditions, power, and water demand without increasing the
operational cost of power systems.
A decoupled algorithm for fluid-fluid interaction at small viscosity
Authors: Li Wei , Huang Pengzhan
Published: April 2024

In this paper, a decoupled finite element algorithm is proposed for solving
the fluid-fluid interaction at small viscosity. The basic idea of the
presented algorithm is to first solve an artificial viscosity elliptic
problem with explicit treatment for nonlinear interface conditions, and then
solve an artificial viscosity Stokes problem to correct the previous
solution. The unconditional stability is established and the efficiency is
illustrated by some numerical tests.
Weakly n-hyponormal weighted shifts: A sufficient condition and their examples
Authors: Baek Seunghwan , Lee Mi , Li Chunji
Published: April 2024

The n-hyponormal and weakly n-hyponormal weighted shifts were developed to
study bridges of operators between the subnormal and hyponormal operators on
an infinite dimensional complex Hilbert space about 30 years ago. In this
paper we discuss the distinction between the classes of n-hyponormal and
weakly n-hyponormal weighted shifts. For such a purpose we consider an
arbitrary contractive hyponormal weighted shift W? and find a sufficient
condition for the weak n-hyponormality of W?. We provide a general technique
for distinction between the n-hyponormality and the weak n-hyponormality of
W?, and investigate the distinction between the classes of n-hyponormal and
weakly n-hyponormal weighted shifts with Bergman shift and some other
examples.
Elevated cobalt levels in metal-on-polyethylene knee megaprostheses: a prospective 1-year cohort study of 56 patients with hip and knee megaprostheses

Published: April 2024

Background and purpose: Concerns have emerged regarding elevated levels of cobalt and chromium in patients with metal-on-metal megaprostheses. This prospective study aims to identify systemic cobalt and chromium levels in metal-on-polyethylene knee and hip megaprostheses and their associations with other factors.Methods: 56 patients underwent knee or hip megaprosthesis surgery at 2 sarcoma centers. Serum cobalt and chromium levels were measured preoperatively and thrice within the first year using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry.Results: A statistically significant difference in serum cobalt levels (1.4 ppb; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.0–3.3) was observed 1 year after knee megaprosthesis surgery compared with preoperative levels. In contrast no difference in chromium levels was observed after 1 year compared with preoperative levels (0.05 ppb; CI 0.0–0.8). An association between younger age, higher eGFR, and increased cobalt levels was observed. No significant correlations were found between ion levels and resection length or the number of modular connections.Conclusion: We found elevated serum ion levels in metal-on-polyethylene knee megaprostheses in contrast to metal-on-polyethylene hip megaprostheses. Furthermore, a positive correlation between cobalt and chromium levels, and between cobalt and eGFR was identified, along with a negative correlation between cobalt and age. This study highlights the importance of monitoring systemic cobalt and chromium levels in patients with megaprostheses.
Educação urbana para consciência do direito à cidade
Authors: Placido Gabriela Vargas Freitas , Maass Marisa Cobbe , Souto Virgínia Tiradentes
Published: April 2024

Este artigo pretende investigar de que maneira o ensino de questões urbanas com preceitos da educação para a autonomia, pode ajudar na emancipação de pensamento do indivíduo em relação à sua condição na cidade, de maneira a potencializar a apropriação da cidade, tanto na experiência do espaço quanto na reivindicação de direitos. Para isso procurou-se entender a dinâmica do espaço, partindo da definição de espaço urbano segundo Milton Santos (2002) o papel do indivíduo nesse contexto segundo o sistema de ordem de relações na cidade segundo Lefebvre (2001), para entender a importância do indivíduo no tecido urbano. Posteriormente foram analisadas as prerrogativas legais que norteiam o viver em cidades brasileiras e a importância do direito à cidade, para defender sua reivindicação também como um direito. Por fim, foram analisados alguns preceitos da educação para a autonomia e como eles se inserem na educação urbana. A crise urbana é uma realidade nas cidades brasileiras e os problemas decorrentes afetam toda a população residente em áreas urbanas, logo é relevante trazer a debate maneiras de superar os problemas urbanos a partir de reivindicações que partam da própria sociedade.
Diagnóstico ambiental para implementação da nbr iso 14001:2015: estudo de caso em um zoológico
Authors: Flores Gonzalo Javier Olivares , Ribaski Nayara Guetten
Published: April 2024

Os jardins zoológicos são instituições que passaram por diversas transformações ao longo do tempo, principalmente no modelo inicialmente proposto de coleção de animais para espaços destinados para conservação de espécies, bem-estar animal, educação ambiental, pesquisa científica e lazer e recreação. As atividades operacionais dos zoológicos, podem gerar diversos impactos ambientais derivados do manejo de animais sobretudo nos tópicos de geração de resíduos, efluentes e emissões. Desta forma a implementação de um Sistema de Gestão Ambiental (SGA), assegura a responsabilidade ambiental, eficiência operacional e uma imagem positiva em relação à sustentabilidade da instituição. Este trabalho teve como objetivo realizar um diagnóstico ambiental em um jardim zoológico do interior do Estado do Paraná, visando atender aos padrões da NBR ISO 14001:2015. Foram elaborados critérios de avaliação para um SGA conforme a ISO 14001 dentro dos requisitos de contexto, liderança, planejamento, suporte, efetivação das operações, avaliação de desempenho e busca contínua por melhoria. Como resultados obteve-se uma nota final de 70% de atendimento da instituição aos requisitos da NBR ISO 14001:2015, classificando uma situação “boa” onde apenas algumas adequações são necessárias para atingir um SGA completo baseado na norma. Conclui-se que o jardim zoológico em questão pode tornar-se um espaço de referência, visto que não há no país uma instituição do tipo certificada pela norma e também receber inúmeros benefícios em termos de sustentabilidade, qualidade ambiental e imagem positiva frente a outras entidades e instituições ambientais.

Published: April 2024

A soja é uma das culturas mais importantes na economia mundial. Nesse cenário, o Brasil tem cada vez mais utilizado o agronegócio, como uma estratégia de inserção na economia mundial, sendo um dos maiores produtores mundiais. Há grandes desafios para o país relacionado ao mercado, devido as mudanças climáticas e os altos índices de desmatamento nos biomas cerrado e amazônia. O artigo tem como objetivo, apresentar as principais dificuldades do país para não perder mercado e mostrar a importância de estabelecer padrões e critérios de produção de soja responsável. A produção certificada é uma das possíveis soluções viáveis para o mercado, onde os produtores e empresas tem o compromisso de cumprir indicadores obrigatórios e progressivos, relacionados aos temas sociais, ambientais e agrícolas, aumentando a transparência na produção, facilitando aos comerciantes demonstrarem que seus produtos estão livres de desmatamento e problemas sociais. A produção de soja sustentável é fundamental para mitigar impactos ambientais e sociais, trazendo benefícios para conservação de recursos naturais, segurança alimentar e fortalecimento da agricultura de baixo impacto.
A perspectiva dos municípios brasileiros sobre a proteção ambiental na campanha da onu "construindo cidades resilientes – minha cidade está se preparando”

Published: April 2024

A conservação das áreas naturais em ambientes urbanos é de suma importância para a manutenção da resiliência ambiental, visto que a redução, fragmentação e degradação do ambiente natural estão diretamente relacionadas com o aumento da vulnerabilidade das cidades frente aos eventos climáticos extremos. Este trabalho teve como objetivo analisar as iniciativas de conservação ambiental dos municípios brasileiros que aderiram à campanha "Construindo Cidades Resilientes – Minha cidade está se preparando”, lançada em 2010 pelo Escritório das Nações Unidas para a Redução do Risco de Desastres, em apoio à implementação do Marco de Ação de Hyogo, e posteriormente, o Quadro Sendai. A partir dos relatórios auto declaratórios “Local Government Self Assessment Tool” (LGSAT), realizou-se a análise dos níveis de progresso para o “Fundamento 8”, que trata da proteção ambiental e fortalecimento dos ecossistemas pelos municípios. Das 1.076 cidades brasileiras participantes, apenas 51 disponibilizaram o relatório LGSAT online, destas 41 localizam-se no estado de São Paulo. Constatou-se que na maior parte dos municípios existe algum compromisso institucional e capacidades para a Redução de Risco de Desastres, mas o progresso não é abrangente ou substancial. Os municípios que apresentaram as maiores pontuações foram Mogi das Cruzes, Itu, Guarulhos, Joanópolis, Lins, Bertioga, Capão Bonito, Iacanga, Jaguariúna, Piquete e Sorocaba, todos no estado de São Paulo. Considerando o caráter auto avaliativo do relatório, observou-se grande diversidade de respostas, o que pode estar relacionado a diferentes compreensões quanto aos pontos de referência do fundamento analisado, bem como diferentes realidades municipais.
Sinergia educativa: família e escola a caminho da excelência
Authors: Lopes Gabriel César Dias
Published: April 2024

Este artigo discorre sobre a importância da família no processo de aprendizagem dos alunos, onde ressalta a importância da associação entre escola e família com o objetivo de uma educação de excelência. É crescente em nossas escolas o não envolvimento da família na vida escolar da criança, e, entendemos que isso acontece por diversos motivos, seja ele por falta de empenho dos pais e compromisso com a vida escolar ou por falta de projetos oferecidos pela escola no qual possam criar laços entre ambos. A ideia de que a educação é responsabilidade da escola é equivocada e só coopera para que esses dois eixos da sociedade sejam cada vez mais afastados. Os resultados mostram que a parceria escola-família exerce grande importância na formação da criança, tendo em vista que, é na família que são trabalhadas as primeiras formações morais e na escola são solidificadas de forma sistemática. Entende-se então que é necessária a união família-escola na direção do processo educacional das crianças como objetivo comum a estas instituições.

Authors: Villanueva Bernardo de Almeida , Catapan Anderson , Lousada Sérgio António Neves
Published: April 2024

A humanidade enfrenta o desafio da adaptação às mudanças climáticas e ao aquecimento global, e a eletricidade desempenha um papel essencial no desenvolvimento econômico, sendo fundamental que haja transformações nos sistemas de energia para fontes renováveis. Na transição energética, cada país enfrenta diferentes oportunidades e desafios, sendo necessária a criação de um novo sistema energético, justo e renovável. As cooperativas de energia, especialmente na Europa, emergem como elementos-chave na transição, permitindo que cidadãos se tornem produtores independentes de energia, promovendo uma matriz descentralizada e sustentável. Cooperativas de energia são vistas como estruturas eficazes para apoiar a transição energética de baixo carbono, proporcionando propriedade e responsabilidade comunitárias. Este artigo apresenta uma revisão sistemática da literatura sobre cooperativas de energia. De um universo inicial de 772 artigos nas bases Scopus, Web of Science, Science Direct e Scielo, chegou-se a um portfólio de 46 artigos que indicam tendências, desafios comuns e proposições para o segmento em escala global.
O urbanismo e o governo das populações
Authors: Cunha Hugo Freitas da
Published: April 2024

Através do pensamento de Michel Foucault, o presente trabalho procura indicar o momento na história em que a política moderna de gestão populacional produziu o urbanismo como seu dispositivo. Para Foucault, o que inaugura a modernidade política é o fato de que, a partir do século XVIII, a população torna-se objeto de governo do poder político estatal. Os Estados tiveram que tomar por encargo e objeto fundamental de seu exercício de poder, não mais a unidade do território, mas a complexidade de uma população. Foucault observa que as práticas de governo irão buscar maximizar a vida das populações, aumentar a sua saúde, assim como a sua riqueza e sua capacidade produtiva. Trata-se do desenvolvimento de uma biopolítica, uma política que objetiva gerir a vida das populações para fins produtivos, que irá se organizar dentro dos quadros do liberalismo e que será capaz de reunir os instrumentos indispensáveis para a emergência e desenvolvimento do capitalismo. A partir dessas análises, procuramos estudar como o “problema do espaço” aparece na estratégia política de gestão de massas. As cidades passam a cumprir funções fundamentais, elas irão compor um meio circundante por onde as técnicas de governo poderão fazer circular suas ações, de modo que atinja a conduta das populações. O urbanismo vai se formar como um conjunto de instrumentos de projeto e de organização do espaço físico urbano, capaz de estruturar um meio por onde vai-se buscar gerir populações em face de processos econômicos. Neste sentido, trabalhamos com a hipótese de que o urbanismo só pôde se desenvolver na medida em que o governamento liberal biopolítico o situou como dispositivo de sua própria gestão. Pudemos compreender que, embora o urbanismo tenha no espaço urbano a matéria em que ele faz incidir estrategicamente seus instrumentos, é no corpo da população que o urbanismo encontra seu objeto último.
Utilização de aglomerante alternativo na construção civil – A aplicação da sustentabilidade
Authors: Fachini Daniela , Ribaski Nayara Guetten , Soares Jocássio Batista , Belini Ugo Leandro , De Araújo Marcia Silva , Cerri José Alberto
Published: April 2024

A sustentabilidade, não só na construção civil, é um tema que vem sendo amplamente discutido a fim de se buscar ou encontrar alternativas duradouras e de baixo impacto ambiental no ambiente, seguindo a premissa de suprir as necessidades da geração presente sem afetar a habilidade das gerações futuras. A reutilização de materiais dentro da construção civil, por exemplo, trata de transformar os resíduos gerados nas obras em produtos comerciais que possam ser novamente utilizados. Quando realizada de forma correta, o reaproveitamento ou reciclagem de resíduos contribui com a diminuição da extração de recursos naturais. Este artigo tem o objetivo mostrar que o uso de materiais alternativos (resíduos de construção) contribui com a sustentabilidade na construção civil, neste caso, substituindo parcialmente o cimento em misturas visando um aglomerante alternativo para a indústria da construção.

O objetivo geral que norteou o trabalho foi o de entender quais são as percepções que jovens do ensino médio de duas escolas públicas do estado de São Paulo e os jovens internos da Fundação Casa, em regime socioeducativo, têm a respeito do fenômeno violência e identificar uma possível influência desses fatores no processo de ensino-aprendizagem e nas próprias relações interpessoais entre professor e aluno. Realizou-se entrevistas com dois professores de matemática a fim de entender como eles percebem a questão da violência durante as aulas. E uma entrevista com um representante da Secretaria de Infraestrutura e Meio Ambiente do Estado de São Paulo que trouxe à tona a questão da violência ambiental para esta pesquisa. As análises apoiaram-se nas ideias teóricas do Prof. Dr. Ubiratan D`Ambrosio. Os resultados indicaram: a violência como um fator que interfere no aprendizado dos alunos; a educação escolar como um fator que minimiza a violência; a importância da aplicação da Etnomatemática numa perspectiva de tolerância, respeito, diálogo e coletividade; a importância da educação matemática como um instrumento para a cultura da PAZ. Na conclusão, propõe-se uma Educação Matemática voltada para a PAZ.

Os recursos da tecnologia da informação têm revolucionado a vida de pessoas, organizações, governos e assim, o modo como as cidades fazem a gestão dos serviços públicos. O objetivo deste estudo é analisar a interface dos serviços públicos municipais disponibilizados eletronicamente pela Prefeitura de São José dos Pinhais-PR aos cidadãos do município. A metodologia da pesquisa se constituiu de um estudo de caso, exploratório, descritivo, qualitativo e quantitativo, pois analisou o nome e número dos serviços públicos municipais e temáticas municipais envolvidas, assim como a interface destes no portal eletrônico da prefeitura. O estudo foi norteado por um protocolo de pesquisa, com um constructo e quatro variáveis. Dentre os serviços públicos municipais disponíveis no portal, foram estabelecidos critérios de análise da interface para as variáveis de acessibilidade e navegabilidade, pois, quando a interface é de simples navegação e de fácil compreensão pelo cidadão, este se sente mais motivado a fazer uso. A conclusão enfatiza que os serviços públicos eletrônicos encontrados e a interface deles podem contribuir para a gestão do município e, para que a cidade de São José dos Pinhais possa ser entendida como cidade digital estratégica. Os resultados auferidos demonstram preocupação com a modernização dos serviços públicos, para facilitar o acesso dos munícipes aos serviços digitais, por meio dos 31 serviços analisados
Is Conscience the Measure of a Person?
Authors: Drăghici-Vasilescu Elena Ene
Published: April 2024

One could say that we are human beings to the degree to which our conscience is developed. My paper analyses the conscience from an ethical point of view and states that it is to be understood as the measure of morality within a person. [‘Moral’ refers to a sense of right and wrong, and ethics to the principles of “good” and “bad” agreed by a society].
Taking into consideration that there are people who feel an acute sense of guilt when committing a crime and others who feel nothing, my work tries to identify the factors responsible for such a state of affairs. Therefore, it deals with the question, “Why are there considerable differences among people from the point of view of morality?”.
I shall elaborate mainly on the role of education and genetic heritage, which are instrumental in the development of moral conscience within a person. Their influence in shaping it is ensured by the activity of the neurons and of other processes within the brain, which firstly produce the human consciousness. Other elements ‘grow’ on it.

Creating a Home Elsewhere: Diasporic Imagination in Lee Isaac Chung’s Minari
Authors: Fauziyah Alifya Aini , Manggong Lestari , Maulana Sandya
Published: April 2024

Minari, a film screened in 2020 directed by Lee Isaac Chung, presents a Korean immigrant family having moved to Arkansas in fulfilling their American dream at the cost of being displaced and out of place. By focusing on the attempt made by Jacob, the father, to recreate the imagined home which refers to South Korea, this study aims to show how the displacement and unhomeliness in the construction of diasporic imagination are displayed in the film. David, the son, not only feels out of place but is also obligated to feel a kind of belonging to both cultures. Jacob’s mother-in-law, Soon-Ja, having newly arrived in the US brings recent memories of home into the family that represent the Korean immigrant perspective of living in the US for the first time. This approach will show how the American film attempts to incorporate the new forms of portraying the ‘elsewhere’ which is an important characteristic of American dream narratives. The analysis is conducted by referring to Bhabha’s unhomeliness and Walder’s displacement in comprehending the contrast between the stereotypical characteristics of Korean immigrants and the American dream through the dialogues and scenes. We would like to argue that Minari follows the convention of the American dream narratives. However, due to displacement and unhomeliness, the film shows how Korean immigrants experience being awkwardly immersed within the mainstream American cultural discourse.
Marriage, Motherhood, and Self-Blame: Analyzing the Tragic Heroine’s Spiritual Suicide in Jude the Obscure
Authors: Javier Wenona Bea
Published: April 2024

The societal phenomenon of self-blame disproportionately impacts women who encounter tragedies as wives and mothers. This is demonstrated in Jude the Obscure (1896) by Thomas Hardy, one of the most controversial pieces in Victorian literature. With the use of textual analysis and the application of feminist theory concentrating on Clarissa Pinkola Estes' idea of the female psychic slumber in her book Women Who Run With the Wolves (1995), this paper inspects Hardy's character of the enigmatic Sue Bridehead, aiming to unearth the underlying causes of her spiritual suicide after the three children’s death. Estes’ notion of spiritual demise indicates a woman’s submission to conventionality after encountering tragedy, especially during marriage and motherhood. As a nonconformist within a traditional societal framework, Sue’s transformation from Part III to VI of the book stands out as she shifts from being a free spirit to a conventional wife after encountering tribulations. Her spiritual suicide stems from three interrelated factors: Regret for her children’s short life; culpability; and her idea that it is God’s way of punishing her for her nonconformist beliefs. This convergence weaves together a memorable picture of a woman's spiritual self-destruction amidst traumatic events and the expectations of a conventional society that women should submit to their husbands and renounce whatever unorthodox beliefs they have.
Constructing Masculine and Feminine Traits: A Social Constructive Reading of Robert Frost’s “Home Burial”

Reading Robert Frost’s “Home Burial” from a sociological perspective is a herculean task. Given that this poem by the American poet has received large volumes of critical literary conversation since its publication. Notwithstanding this daunting scholarly task, it is imperative to point out the nuanced representation of gender and the constitutive manifestations reflected thereof. This paper, therefore, examines Frost’s characters and their expression of masculinity and femininity in “Home Burial”. The paper is framed within the social constructivist theory of masculinities proposed by Moynihan (1998). The paper asserts that Frost favors the man/male gender over the woman/female gender in his assessment of how both gender types receive and process emotions, grief, pain, and fear. From the purview of the social constructivists, the paper reveals that there are fixed signifiers for males and females that shape their outlook during social events/contexts such as death. The paper further reveals that the theme of reality (realism) is crucial in 20th-century poetry, explicating its social context and application. The paper is a contribution to the research on Frostian poetry.
