Abstract. Wahyudi, Djitmau DA, Dwiranti F, Sagrim M, Manuhua D. 2024. Roles of local food and knowledge of indigenous communities during pandemic COVID-19 at three districts across West Papua Province, Indonesia. Asian J Ethnobiol 7: 1-12. The world suffered from the COVID-19 pandemic without exception to local communities in West Papua Province, causing deaths worldwide. During the pandemic, food supply, availability, and distribution were short. Indigenous communities in West Papua Province, Indonesia are surrounded by natural resources providing foods, vegetables, vitamins, and other nutrients for maintaining the human immune system. This research was designed to determine local food diversity, examine the contribution of local foods in fulfilling daily needs, nutrient sources, medicines, and others during the pandemic, and document local community perception of the pandemic COVID-19 among three study areas in West Papua Province. A questionnaire field survey was employed for data collection: 11 villages at three districts in Manokwari, South Manokwari, and Teluk Bintuni were selected to represent coastal, lowland, and mangrove areas. The results indicated that local food provides all daily food needs, offering various ingredients and supporting the livelihood of the local communities. Among the three districts, there are variations in food diversity, but they are similar. Furthermore, 18 plants were consumed as vegetables; 14 plants as carbohydrate sources; 16 plants for fruits, medicinal, herbs, respectively; 13 plants for flavor; Protein and fat-producing plants and animals were 7 of plants and 6 of animal, respectively. They were prepared by boiling, fresh, roasted, burned in a wood fire, and fried gently with cooking oil. These local foods are also the source of house income, offer informal work, and are a source of medicinal plants. When food supply and distribution are scarce everywhere due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the local communities rely on their local foods to maintain their health and immunity. They believe that the COVID-19 virus is a warning from God to humans who always exploit nature without caring for others.

Lembongan Island and Perancak are two areas located in Bali Province that have mangrove ecosystems that are utilized as ecotourism areas with different geomorphologies. This study was conducted with the aim to determine the density and spatial distribution of gastropods and their relationship with environmental characteristics using a multivariate analysis approach i.e., Correspondence Analysis (CA) and Principal Component Analysis (PCA). Sampling used a purposive sampling method consisting of 3 zones based on distance from the sea, namely the sea, middle and land zones. The results showed that the most gastropod species in Lembongan Island were found in the sea zone with 17 which the most gastropod species is Pyrene ocellata, while in Perancak the most gastropod species were found in the middle zone with 13 which the most gastropod species is Sphaerasiminea miniata. Environmental characteristics such as temperature, pH, ORP, salinity and dissolved oxygen still support the survival of gastropods. There is twelve mangrove species have found, were Rhizopora stylosa, Rhizopora apiculata, Rhizopora mucronata, Rhizopora lamarckii, Bruguiera gymnorrhiza, Ceriops tagal, Avicennia marina, Avicennia alba, Avicennia rumphiana, Avicennia officinalis, Sonneratia alba, and  Xylocarpus granatum.

Abstract. Rujehan, Setiawati, Matius P, Kristiningrum R, Halu YO. 2024. Use and assessment of the economic value of traditional medicinal plants by the Soputan Dayak tribe, East Kalimantan Province, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 25: 2393-2403. The Soputan Dayak tribe, who live in Long Penaneh III, Long Apari Sub-district, East Kalimantan, apparently still adhere to local wisdom values in using plants as medicine and contributing to the household economy. This study aims to identify the local wisdom of the Soputan Dayak tribe in using medicinal plants and determine the economic value of medicinal plant use. Using a snowball sampling technique, the methods used were observation and direct interviews with 15 households. The data were analyzed descriptively and qualitatively using logical explanation through a substitute-market approach to determine economic value. The results showed that the use of medicinal plants in the village of Long Penaneh III covered 41 families of 64 species with various benefits. The most used plant organs were leaves (50%) and roots (24%), with the rest comprising tubers, stems, fruit, shoots, skins, flowers, and cambium. The main diseases treated with medicinal plants were back pain (17%), cholesterol (14%), high blood pressure and leukorrhea (12% each), and flu, fever, hypoglycemia, ulcers, and kidney concerns (9% each). The economic value assessment from the 64 species showed IDR 36,685,000 per year could be obtained, based on the information of 15 respondents, with an average per household of IDR 2,445,666.67 per year. The economic value obtained is sufficient to support the household economy.

Abstract. Adrian M, Wulandari R, Sembiring E, Natawijaya A. 2024. Metabolomic profiling unravels divergent adaptive responses of oil palm (Elaeis guineensis) seedlings to drought stress under shaded and unshaded conditions. Biodiversitas 25: 2404-2414. This research takes a unique approach by investigating the metabolomic responses of oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) seedlings to drought stress under both shaded and unshaded conditions. Drought stress poses a significant threat to oil palm cultivation, with profound implications for global palm oil production. Our study aims to unravel the adaptive mechanisms of oil palm seedlings through metabolomic profiling, specifically focusing on amino acids and isoprenoids. The methodology involved collecting samples at distinct time points, including normal conditions, 7 days after drought stress (7 DAT), and 14 days after drought stress (14 DAT). Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) was used for comprehensive metabolite analysis. The results unveiled substantial changes in metabolite profiles, particularly in amino acids and isoprenoids, indicating the plant's concerted efforts to maintain biochemical homeostasis and vitality during drought stress. Cluster analysis revealed distinct metabolic responses between shaded and unshaded conditions, suggesting an initial conservative response followed by subsequent adaptive measures over time. The fold-change analysis identified key compounds such as Proline, Methyl Palmitate, and octadecylamine, which are crucial for the plant's adaptation to drought conditions. ROC analysis further confirmed Proline and D-Glucuronic Acid Amide as potential biomarkers for distinguishing plant responses to drought stress. This comprehensive metabolomic investigation provides valuable insights into the adaptive strategies employed by oil palm seedlings, thereby offering practical implications for developing sustainable cultivation practices and mitigating drought stress in oil palm cultivation.

Abstract. Handoyo F, Soemarno, Sudarto, Hakim L. 2024. Bird diversity rate as variable of land use change protection scenario using a system dynamics approach. Biodiversitas 25: 2463-2477. The existence of enclave villages in Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park, East Java, Indonesia raises concerns about land use changes in the conservation areas. This study analyzed the position of bird diversity rate as a variable in system dynamics modeling. Data from the results of the stock flow diagram simulation, which consists of the bird diversity rate variable, along with other variables, are references used for assessing answers regarding efforts to protect conservation areas through several scenarios. The aim of this study was to predict the best scenario for the protection of national park areas that include the bird diversity rate as a variable. Bird species observations at 2 sites found 21 families and 34 species out of 135 total recorded individuals. The diversity index (H') is relatively high, the Evenness Index (E) is relatively evenly distributed between species. The Margallef Richness Index (R) at location 1 is classified as medium and location 2 is classified as low. The simulation results of stock flow diagram model (2015-2050) shows that the national park area, decreased. Measurements of bird diversity rate have also decreased. The best interventions seen in scenario 2 and scenario 3 have a good impact on reducing land use change. Protection of national park areas in scenario 3 can increase bird species diversity rate by up to 76% by implementing important actions in ecosystem improvement.

Abstract. Rusdimansyah R, Khasrad K, Jaswandi J, Rusfidra R, Aulia D. 2024. Heterotrigona itama workers bees homing ability as the basis for colony placement. Biodiversitas 25: 2478-2483. This study aimed to evaluate the ability of Heterotrigona itama worker bees to return to the nest from various test distances. This research is an observational study using the translocation method. There were 550 individuals of H. itama worker bees from 5 colonies reared for over two years. Each worker bee sample was identified with a mark in the form of water-based paint before being released at a testing distance every 100 meters until a distance where no more worker bees returned. The camera with a macro lens is installed at the entrance to the beehive to record worker bees returning to the hive. The video recording process was carried out over 90 minutes. The parameters observed included environmental temperature and humidity, the number of worker bees returning, and the time required for worker bees to return from each test distance. The data obtained were analyzed using Chi-square, Kruskal-Wallis, and Mann-Whitney U-test. The research showed that the maximum distance that H. itama worker bees can travel to return to the nest was 1000 meters. However, the most effective return distance was more than 500 meters because although some worker bees can return from greater distances, the number of returns significantly decreases after passing 500 meters. Therefore, the ideal distance for placing a colony of H. itama is less than 500 meters from the source of bee food plants. The minimum distance to move a colony from the initial location to a new location is around 1100 meters.

Abstract. Julyanto CMP, Dosan R, Victor H, Sugata M, Tan TJ. 2024. Analysis of heat?shock protein genes and their expression in Lactiplantibacillus plantarum SU-KC1a. Biodiversitas 25: 2494-2499. Lactiplantibacillus plantarum is lactic acid bacteria commonly used as probiotics. Throughout the manufacturing and processing stages for incorporation into functional food products, probiotics encounter different stress conditions, including heat stress, which can affect their viability. In this study, the ability of L. plantarum SU-KC1a to withstand heat stress conditions was assessed by measuring cell viability after incubation at 37, 42, 47, and 52? for one hour. Additionally, the growth of SU-KC1a in liquid cultures under various high temperatures was monitored hourly for three hours. Total RNA was extracted from each culture, converted into cDNA, and amplified using hsp3 gene-specific primers. The results indicated a slower growth rate of SU-KC1a at higher temperatures, with 42? as the maximum temperature supporting growth. Visualization of hsp3 amplicon showed increased intensity following incubation at higher temperatures, indicating upregulation of hsp3 gene expression. To identify the presence of heat stress-related genes, whole genome sequence annotation data of SU-KC1a was compared to that of L. plantarum SK151, F75, and WCFS1. Lactiplantibacillus plantarum was found to possess two systems involved in protein repair in response to heat stress damage: chaperone and protease. In summary, L. plantarum SU-KC1a harbors heat shock protein genes, and their expression is upregulated following exposure to high temperatures.

Abstract. Abdalrahem OMI, Ismail MH, Zaki PH, Singh DSAK. 2024. Effect of slope, aspect, and position on soil properties at various depths in an oil palm plantation in Selangor, Malaysia. Biodiversitas 25: 2507-2514. Limited information exists regarding the study of land and topographic characteristics and their influence on palm oil yield, as well as the effects on the physio-chemical properties of the soil. This study examined the impact of slope, aspect, and position at different soil depths on the physical and chemical properties of an oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) plantation in an oil palm plantation in Selangor, Malaysia. Two sites with distinct north and south aspects were chosen for each slope site. Three equal positions were identified within each slope: Summit, Sideslope, and Toeslope. Random sampling determined soil physical and chemical properties at two depths (0-20 cm, 20-40 cm). This study analyzed soil chemical properties, including pH, EC, total N, P, Ext K, Ca, Mg, and soil texture, and the soil properties across different slope positions, depths, and aspects results indicated a significant difference (p<0.05). The soil properties' main factors contributing to the observed variations were slope position and soil depth. Slope position had a significant effect (p<0.05) on soil pH, EC, Ca, Mg, K, and N. Soil depth significantly influenced (p<0.05) all soil properties examined. The slope aspect also significantly affected (p<0.05) pH, Ca, Mg, and K. The soil texture classification ranged from sandy clay to sandy clay loam. Sand constituted the highest proportion of soil particles in both aspect slopes, followed by clay. The clay content increased with depth, specifically in the 20-40 cm range.

Abstract. Nursamsu, Nuraini, Sarjani TM, Mardudi. 2024. The use of medicinal plants in the Aneuk Jamee tribe in Kota Bahagia, South Aceh District, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 25: 2524-2540. The Aneuk Jamee tribe comes from the Acehnese language, namely "Aneuk" which means child, while "Jamee" means guest/immigrant who is in the south of Aceh. The development of the use of medicinal plants is very promising in terms of supporting factors such as the availability of rich and diverse biological resources which can be developed as alternative treatment options for various types of diseases. The aim of this research is to document and study further the medicinal plants used by the Aneuk Jamee tribe in Kota Bahagia Sub-Sub-district, South Aceh, Indonesia, in four villages, namely Jombo Keupok, Alur Dua Mas, Ujong Tanoh and Beutong. This research is based on field surveys, plant collections, and interviews with local people. Interviews were conducted with 11 key respondents who are experts in the field of local medicine who were selected using the purposive snowball sampling method. This research highlights around 152 plant taxa belonging to 59 families. Poaceae (13 taxa) are the dominant family of medicinal plants. In the medicinal plant habitat, 77 taxa (50.7%) are predominantly wild and 75 taxa (49.3%) are cultivated. The part of the plant that is commonly used is the leaves (46.1%) which is the dominant part used. Squeezing (24%) was the main preparation method, and drinking (60.4%) was the commonly used method. The study categorizes 59 diseases into 16 categories. A high Informant Consensus Factor (ICF) value indicates that symptoms and signs affecting the skin and subcutaneous tissue (SCT), as well as diseases related to the blood and blood-forming organs, including certain disorders involving the body's immune mechanisms (DBF), have a significant level of agreement among the informants.

Abstract. Lelono TD, Bintoro G, Setyanto A, Setyahadi D, Sutjipto DO, Adhihapsari W, Aliviyanti D, Isdianto A. 2024. Conservation status of sharks and rays caught in Indonesian Fisheries Management Area 712. Biodiversitas 25: 2603-2614. Elasmobranchs, including sharks and rays, are some of the most vulnerable marine fish and are particularly at risk from fishing pressure. Sharks and rays landing data that listed in the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) appendices and/or assessed as in The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List threatened categories were collected from July to October 2023 at two sites in Indonesian Fisheries Management Area (FMA) 712, East Java, Indonesia, namely Pelabuhan Perikanan Nusantara (PPN) Brondong at Lamongan District and Pelabuhan Perikanan Pantai (PPP) Muncar at Banyuwangi. Stingray species designated as Critically Endangered (CR), Endangered (EN), or Vulnerable (VU) were recorded at both landing sites. More IUCN Red List threatened ray species were recorded at Brondong than at Muncar. Based on Brondong's international trade status, ray species landed at Brondong are at higher risk of extinction than those landed at PPP Muncar. Six shark species are currently listed in CITES Appendix II: A pelagicus, A. superciliosus, S. lewini, S. zygaena, C. falciformis, and I. oxyrinchus. At PPP Muncar, two of these species were traded. Sharks landing at Muncar included species in IUCN Red List categories, while those landing at Brondong were in four categories. Two CITES categories regulate the capture of sharks landed at PPP Muncar and PPN Brondong. At both sites, numerous species with conservation statuses of CR, EN, VU, and NT are still caught. In conclusion, exploitation and insufficient control threaten the shark and ray populations in PPP Muncar and PPN Brondong. To save these species, conservation efforts should prioritize trade monitoring, habitat protection, and stricter laws.

Abstract. Ekpo GI, Eteng OE, Ekam VS, Onyemaizu MU, Ofonime N, Blessing OE, Uduak OL, Robert AE, Ufot S, Eyong U. 2024. Hesperidin and quercetin modulate carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) induced hepatotoxicity in male rats. Asian J Nat Prod Biochem 22: 19-26. Quercetin and hesperidin are bioactive chemicals that have shown considerable promise in both conventional and herbal medicine due to their significant impact on treating various human diseases. Oxidative stress is linked to the etiology of many liver disorders. Quercetin-containing foods and fruits include kales, onions, berries, apples, cherries, and other citrus fruits like grapefruit, oranges, lemons, and mandarins. The purpose of this study is to examine the potential therapeutic benefits of quercetin and hesperidin on oxidative stress-induced hepatotoxicity using male rats treated with carbon tetrachloride (CCl4). A total of (30) male rats weighing 160-180 g were divided into 5 groups (n = 6). For twenty-one days, rats were gavaged with quercetin and hesperidin (2.4 and 2.4 mg/kg each) after being exposed to CCl4 (0.5 mg/kg). Samples were taken to evaluate several biochemical markers. Nitric oxide (NO), Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), and Malonialdehyde (MDA) levels were assayed for oxidative damage. The enzymes alanine transferase (ALT) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity were estimated to represent liver function. Glutathione peroxidase (GPx), Catalase (CAT), and Glutathione (GSH) levels were evaluated for antioxidants, and histopathology was also assessed. CCl4 increased significantly (P <0.05) the concentration of MDA, NO, H2O2, SOD, CAT, GPX, GSH, and also, the activities of ALT, ALP, and AST in serum. Following treatment with quercetin and hesperidin, significantly (P <0.05) reduced MDA, NO, H202, ALT, AST, and ALP activities and modified SOD, CAT, GPX, GSH, in rats substantially (P <0.05). Hepatotoxicity caused by carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) was protected by quercetin and hesperidin treatment. This study concludes that by recovering from ROS-mediated oxidative stress, the injection of quercetin and hesperidin helps to offset the damage that CCl4-induced hepato-renal ailments generate. Hence, quercetin and hesperidin supplements may be recommended as an adjunctive natural therapy because they can scavenge free radicals and prevent hepato-renal damage.
FIGURAÇÃO DA BEBIDA ALCOÓLICA NA OBRA DE TENNESSEE WILLIAMS: MARCAÇÃO SOCIAL, CARACTERIZAÇÃO DE PERSONAGEM E DESLOCAMENTO DO REALISMO
Authors: Toledo Luis Marcio Arnaut de
Published: August 2024

O artigo analisa como a obra de Tennessee Williams figura personagens considerados outsiders na sociedade estadunidense em função do uso de bebidas alcoólicas. Personagens de várias peças de diversas fases de sua carreira, tanto em um ato quanto longas, são identificados nesta situação, contextualizando suas tessituras. O trabalho busca compreender como o uso de álcool identifica esses personagens como excluídos e deslocados da sociedade, para tanto considera, sobretudo, o conceito de desfiguração de personagens de Linda Dorff (1997), a qual revela a caracterização psicossocial e desafia o realismo na peça de Williams. Desta forma, pode-se dizer que Williams constrói esses personagens para discutir o American Way of Life e o American Dream como ideologias capitalistas, para isso, apresenta personagens deslocados dessas ideologias.
Depois do último trem, de Josué Guimarães: fato e ficção (em Altinho e Abarama), mas em acervo literário

Published: August 2024

O Acervo Literário de Josué Guimarães (ALJOG/UPF), sob guarda da Universidade de Passo Fundo desde 2007, conserva milhares de itens relativos à memória do autor, o que envolve originais, objetos pessoais, esboços, notas, correspondência, além de uma grande quantidade de publicações na imprensa, relacionada à vida profissional de um autor tardio, que se dedica à literatura na maturidade. Depois do último trem, de Josué Guimarães, publicado em 1973, possui registros de seu movimento escritural resguardados, como mapas, esquemas e datiloscritos. Há, contudo, um item “outro”, uma notícia de 1972, do Jornal do Brasil, arquivada desde o espólio do autor, que migrou da intimidade de seus guardados à institucionalidade pública de um acervo literário. Apoiado em Foucault (2001), Derrida (2007) e Marques (2015) este trabalho propõe pensar a função arquivista e anarquivista em um acervo literário, considerado um “outro” espaço, “de fora”, na perspectiva de Foucault, no qual o que ali se deposita ganha “outros” sentidos no cotejo com as demais materialidades arquivadas.

Neste artigo, objetivamos discorrer sobre as três grandes tendências da Linguística: Estruturalismo, Gerativismo e Funcionalismo Linguístico, assim como apresentar uma proposta para o tratamento dos usos linguísticos por esta última teoria a partir de duas categorias de análise (iconicidade e informatividade), com base nos trabalhos de Santos (2016) e Autor (2022). Foram fundamentais para se abordarem tais tendências linguísticas Castilho (2010), Costa (2015), Faraco (2011), Furtado da Cunha (2015), Givón (1995; 2001) Kenedy (2015) Pezatti (2011), Weedwood (2002), entre outros. Esperamos que este artigo possa contribuir com os estudos da linguagem, assim como auxiliar aqueles que se interessam pela linguagem humana em seus estudos e análises.

A partir de dois documentos manuscritos em 1689 pelo homem negro forro Jorge Luiz Soares, integrante de uma das grandes corporações coloniais, os Terços de Homens Pretos e Pardos, surgidos ao longo da Insurreição Pernambucana de 1654, este artigo apresenta uma análise paleográfica da mão do scriptor, com o propósito de atestar a sua autoria nos documentos estudados e conferir veracidade à escrita e a futuros estudos, linguísticos ou não, possibilitados pelo corpus analisado. Assim, com base em Acioli (1994); Saez e Castillo (1996); Petrucci (2003) e Jesus (2021), foi definida a noção de Paleografia e, então, construído o material de análise: um quadro escriptográfico com base na caligrafia do scriptor. O resultado atesta que os documentos são autógrafos e abrem margem para questionar como um homem negro dos seiscentos dominou as letras. É importante destacar que os dois manuscritos analisados, certidões, são parte de um corpus maior, o Acervo dos Terços de Homens Pretos e Pardos (ATHPP), organizado e editado semidiplomaticamente.

O Livro Didático de Português ao longo do tempo: mais do mesmo
Authors: Malheiros Santana Andreia da Cunha , Michelato João Pedro Buzinello
Published: August 2024

Este artigo propõe uma reflexão sobre o ensino de língua portuguesa ao longo do tempo, ele é fruto de uma pesquisa cujo objetivo principal foi comparar dois livros didáticos destinados ao ensino da disciplina escolar de Português, para o oitavo ano do ensino fundamental: um livro didático de 1969 e outro, de 2018. Para realizar esta comparação foi escolhido o tema “formação de palavras”, tópico que se manteve nos dois materiais. A metodologia empregada foi de natureza qualitativa. A análise dos dados teve como aporte teórico diferentes estudos, entre eles os que envolvem livro didático, realizados por Bunzen (2000; 2001) e Bräkling (2014) e os que envolvem a epilinguística, cujos teóricos se alternam entre Franchi (1991), Wamser (2013) e Wamser e Rezende (2014; 2019). A partir da articulação destes estudiosos, foi possível compreender um pouco do processo de ensino-aprendizagem através do tempo. Os resultados obtidos apontam algumas mudanças, mas também algumas permanências. Foi possível identificar mais flexibilidade dos exercícios, mais interação com os alunos e uma tentativa de atrelar o estudo da gramática ao texto, no entanto, apesar destas alterações, o livro didático  carrega ainda uma metodologia transmissiva do conhecimento, baseado na metalinguística e com pouca reflexão pragmática ; o texto, embora presente no tópico, aparece como um pretexto para exemplificar a gramática.
ensino da literatura, em tempos de pandemia, por meio de releituras nas aulas de língua espanhola. Dom Quixote, presente!
Authors: Antonelli Pivetta Luzia , Cesco Andréa
Published: August 2024

Incluir a literatura nas aulas de Língua Espanhola no ensino médio expande o conhecimento linguístico dos discentes, a cultura de determinadas épocas e países, e propicia momentos de fruição literária. Com esse propósito, as adaptações de obras clássicas e suas releituras podem contribuir no sentido de aproximá-los aos textos literários, despertando o interesse pela leitura. Diante disso, este artigo apresenta uma sequência de atividades realizada, durante a pandemia (2020 e 2021), com o objetivo de familiarizar os discentes de 3º ano do Ensino Médio, de uma escola estadual de Santa Catarina com a obra El Ingenioso Hidalgo Don Quijote de La Mancha (de 1605 e 1615) de Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra (1547-1616), por meio da utilização de diversos gêneros, tanto em Língua Estrangeira quanto em Língua Materna, como comics, músicas, charges, cordéis, séries e adaptações. A multimodalidade desses textos contribuiu para a inferência de significados e os discentes, além de compreenderem a relevância desse romance, em que a cavalaria é parodiada por Cervantes, puderam apreciar a presença de aspectos culturais e linguísticos, e realizar atividades de escrita criativa, como a produção de uma charge no final da sequência, com a recriação do ambiente e de seus personagens em uma releitura relacionada a temas contemporâneos que envolvem tecnologias, redes sociais e o uso de aplicativos.
O ensino da língua inglesa na síndrome de Down: um estudo sobre a epêntese vocálica por aprendizes brasileiros atípicos
Authors: Viana Alencar Lucas , Oliveira Marian
Published: August 2024

Quando o aluno começa a aprender uma segunda língua (L2), é esperado que ele tenha dificuldade como componente sonoro da L2. Por exemplo, o aprendiz brasileiro tende a inserir uma vogal epentética [i] empalavras com consoantes oclusivas /p,b,t,d,k,g/ em posição de coda, uma vez que esses segmentos não ocupam acoda silábica no português brasileiro. Este artigo tem como objetivo analisar se aprendizes brasileiros comsíndrome de Down também utilizam a epêntese vocálica ao aprender inglês como influência das regras fonotáticasda sua L1, o português brasileiro, para sua L2, o inglês. A síndrome de Down, também conhecida comoTrissomia 21 (T21), é uma alteração genética que compromete o desenvolvimento global do sujeito, trazendoimplicações para o aspecto cognitivo, físico, motor e linguístico (MUSTACCHI, 1997, PUESCHEL, 1990). Pararealizar este trabalho, coletamos dados de fala de dois aprendizes brasileiros com síndrome de Down. Osparticipantes responderam a um teste de nomeação de palavras do inglês dentro de uma cabine acústica. Emseguida, analisamos os dados pelo Praat (BOERSMA; WEENINK, 2022) com o intuito de confirmar se osparticipantes produziram as vogais epentéticas. Os resultados evidenciam que os aprendizes com síndrome deDown também adaptam as palavras com consoantes oclusivas em posição de coda do inglês por meio da inserçãode uma vogal epentética. Logo, concluímos que aprendizes com síndrome de Down, apesar do comprometimentoglobal devido à alteração genética, também são influenciados pelas regras fonotáticas da sua L1, pois i
Some Linguistic Evidence against Crèvecoeur's Oneida Adoption
Authors: Pentangelo Joseph
Published: August 2024

Abstract: One of the disputed elements of Crèvecoeur's biography is the question of whether or not he was ever adopted by the Oneida. In this article, I review the evidence in favor of his adoption and trace the history of this claim. I use a linguistically driven approach to argue that this evidence is unsuitable, and I provide previously unused evidence to suggest that, although he may have been granted an Indigenous name, he was never really adopted by, or even particularly familiar with, the Oneida. In this way, I aim to encourage the broader consideration of linguistics in interpreting historical texts and understanding the past, while highlighting the importance of Indigenous languages to the study of early American texts.

Résistance paysanne contre le mégaprojet touristique Destination Île-à-Vache
Authors: Osna Walner
Published: August 2024

Résumé: Cet article porte sur la « résistance paysanne » à l'Île-à-Vache en Haïti au projet touristique de l'administration Martelly/Lamothe (2013–2014). La construction de cette résistance paysanne est un mouvement contre le modèle de développement touristique qui, d'une part, exclut la population locale et met en danger les bases matérielles de vie en accaparant les terres agricoles des paysans; d'autre part, ne répond qu'au besoin du marché touristique international. Ainsi est née la résistance au projet. Au regard d'une posture épistémologique décoloniale de la sociologie des absences fondée sur une enquête qualitative, cet article analyse le processus de construction de la résistance paysanne au projet touristique Destination Île-à-Vache par la mise en évidence des stratégies et tactiques déployées par les paysans. Les paysans se donnent une structure organisationnelle pour mener le mouvement : Konbit peyizan Ilavach (KOPI). Cette dernière a assuré la coordination du mouvement qui a pris deux grandes formes : une contre-propagande médiatique et des mobilisations sur le terrain. Les dirigeants de l'organisation arpentent plusieurs espaces médiatiques aux Cayes et à Port-au-Prince afin de porter le plus loin possible leur revendication. Et ils ont réalisé des manifestations de rue, des blocages entre autres sur l'Île pour forcer l'interruption des travaux. La résistance paysanne a eu finalement gain de cause puisque le projet était interrompu. Abstract: This article focuses on peasant resistance on Île-à-Vache, Haiti, to the Martelly/Lamothe administration's tourism project (2013–2014). The construction of this "peasant resistance" is a movement against the model of tourism development which, on the one hand, excludes the local population and endangers the material bases of life by monopolizing the agricultural land; on the other hand, it responds only to the needs of the international tourism market. Resistance to the project arose for these reasons. Using a decolonial epistemological approach based on the sociology of absences and a qualitative survey, this article analyzes the process of building peasant resistance to the Destination Île-à-Vache tourism project, highlighting the strategies and tactics deployed by the local population. The peasants set up an organizational structure to lead the movement, called Konbit Peyizan Ilavach (KOPI). KOPI coordinated the movement, which took two main forms: media counterpropaganda and field mobilizations. The organization's leaders publicized their demands widely through media outlets in Les Cayes and Port-au-Prince. They also staged road demonstrations and blockades across the island to force the work to stop. The "peasant resistance" finally won the day, as the project was halted.
Household Characteristics and Resource Access among Haitian and Haitian Dominican Families in the Puerto Plata Area, Dominican Republic
Authors: Arps Shahna , Peralta Karie Jo
Published: August 2024

Abstract: Considerable research has focused on the social, political, and economic marginalization of Haitians and Haitian Dominicans living in the Dominican Republic, particularly in rural areas. Yet studies rarely discuss household sociodemographic information and the material lives of this population in urban and peri-urban neighborhoods using a comparative framework that takes into consideration national and regional-level data. We intend to help fill this gap by describing household survey data for 91 families with 454 household members residing in the Cibao Norte region in or near the city of Puerto Plata and identifying disparities in education, employment, and access to resources. Compared to regional and national statistics, the households were larger, younger, and poorer, with less access to sanitation and material goods. We also found lower educational attainment and a greater dependence on informal, low-paid work among adults. Addressing these disparities will require large-scale social change, as well as interventions that target economic insecurity and living conditions that pose health risks. Given the youthfulness of this population, investments in child health and education are strongly recommended. Resumen: Una cantidad considerable de investigaciones se ha enfocado en la marginación social, política y económica de los haitianos y los dominicanos de ascendencia haitiana que viven en la República Dominicana, particularmente en áreas rurales. Sin embargo, los estudios de investigación casi nunca analizan la información sociodemográfica del hogar y la vida material de esta población en residenciales urbanos y periurbanos utilizando un marco comparativo que tenga en cuenta datos a nivel nacional y regional. Intentamos ayudar a llenar este vacío describiendo los datos de encuestas domiciliarias de 91 familias con 454 miembros del hogar que residen en la región de Cibao Norte, en o cerca de la ciudad de Puerto Plata, e identificando disparidades en educación, empleo y acceso a recursos. En comparación con las estadísticas regionales y nacionales, los hogares en esta investigación eran más grandes, más jóvenes y más pobres, con menos acceso a saneamiento y bienes materiales. También encontramos un menor nivel educativo y una mayor dependencia del trabajo informal y mal remunerado entre los adultos. Abordar estas disparidades requerirá un cambio social a gran escala, así como intervenciones que se dirijan a la inseguridad económica y a las condiciones de vida que representan riesgos para la salud. Dada la juventud de esta población, se recomienda fuertemente invertir en la salud y educación infantil.
Prophecies and Parables in Elizabeth Gaskell’s “Lois the Witch”
Authors: Johnson Alyssa Q.
Published: August 2024

ABSTRACT: Elizabeth Gaskell’s historical novella “Lois the Witch” (1859) employs Gothicism to depict foreign religion as abhorrent, upholding English superiority by portraying American Puritans as religious fanatics. But the story’s condemnation of the Salem witch trials shifts to readers who may also struggle to practice a rational, caring religion. Lois’ recollections of witchcraft in England enable the tale to function as a juridical parable by asking readers to evaluate and internalize tolerance toward the Puritan characters and to themselves. This study complicates the functions of both religion and the Gothic in “Lois the Witch,” which has been read through the lenses of Gaskell’s Unitarianism but not in terms of its function as a juridical parable or its use of the ambiguous supernatural. Gothicism underlines the call for tolerance, with supernaturalism neither “explained” nor “real.” Instead, the question of supernatural activities (prophecies, spells) remains ambiguous, suggesting the Puritans’ cruelty in the name of religion supersedes the issue of witchcraft.
Photon-count fluctuations of spontaneous parametric down conversion exhibit long-range correlations
Authors: Tey Lian Seng , Muniandy S. V. , Chong Wu Yi
Published: August 2024

We investigate the fluctuation dynamics of photons generated by spontaneous parametric down conversion (SPDC) using detrended fluctuation analysis (DFA). SPDC photon pairs were generated via a periodically poled potassium titanyl phosphate waveguide, pumped by a 405 nm continuous-wave laser. The scaling exponents obtained from DFA reveal that SPDC photons exhibit long-range correlations at high pump power regimes. The average scaling exponent of DFA increases from 0.67 to 0.97 as the laser diode drive current increases, indicating the existence of long-range correlations. Our analysis concluded that the scaling exponent of aggregated time series is correlated to the number of SPDC photon pairs.
Vortex beam assisted generation and manipulation of structured light

We conduct theoretical investigations into a fundamental closed-loop Λ-type atomic system using 87Rb atoms, aiming to efficiently generate and manipulate structured light beams. A phase-singular microwave (MW) beam with a topological charge l

and a phase-singular optical probe beam with a topological charge l

. We provide a detailed theoretical explanation of these results using the analytical expression of probe susceptibility. We outline how this scheme effectively serves as a sensor adept at discerning particular OAM modes. This selective detection capability is valuable in scenarios where only certain OAM states carry relevant information. The relative phase between the interacting fields can be used to rotate the structured probe beam by 360 deg in the clockwise or counterclockwise direction. This manipulation of spatial position of different OAM modes can be employed in implementing OAM-based logical operations.
Fabrication tolerant multi-layer integrated photonic topology optimization

Published: August 2024

Optimal multi-layer device design requires consideration of fabrication uncertainties associated with inter-layer alignment and conformal layering. We present layer-restricted topology optimization (TO), which we believe to be a novel technique which mitigates the effects of unwanted conformal layering for multi-layer structures and enables TO in multi-etch material platforms. We explore several approaches to achieve this result compatible with density-based TO projection techniques and geometric constraints. Then, we present a robust TO formulation to design devices resilient to inter-layer misalignment. The novel constraint and robust formulation are demonstrated in 2D grating couplers and a 3D polarization rotator.

In this work, an all-fiber high-speed and high-resolution dispersion measurement approach for chirped fiber Bragg gratings (CFBGs) is proposed and demonstrated. Dispersion information (1-4 order) of CFBGs that with different dispersion are determined experimentally, which agree well with the theoretical results. The measurement speed, accuracy, and repeatability are also studied and discussed. Compared with the well-developed techniques, the proposed new method is not only time-saving but with higher accuracy and repeatability. The method and results of high-order dispersion information of CFBGs are reported for the first time to our best knowledge, which will greatly benefit the fiber chirped pulse amplifier (CPA) and ultrafast laser techniques.
Enhanced chiral sensing by optical whispering gallery mode microresonator
Authors: Tian Xiaojun , Bai Yijing , Fu Tong , Zhang Zhongyue
Published: August 2024

Chiral sensing is essential in biochemistry, biomedicine, and food industries. Traditional chiral sensing mainly focuses on enhancing the chiral near fields, where the quality factor of the resonator has largely been ignored. Here, we propose a whispering gallery mode (WGM) optical microresonator to enhance the chiral signal by exploiting its high quality factor. The enhancement factor in the WGM resonator is linearly dependent on the quality factor of the microresonator and exponentially increases with the decreasing thickness of the chiral analyte. Based on this, we achieve a chiral enhancement factor of more than two orders of magnitude, which features a background-free chiroptical signal. Our results open a route to attain highly sensitive chiral sensing based on the WGM optical resonator, which promotes the realization of chiral applications in integrated optics.

Bound states in the continuum (BICs) on metasurfaces have garnered significant interest for their ultrahigh Q-factor potential in sensing applications. Reconfigurability and multi-band resonance are highly desirable for sensing systems. In this work, we introduce a metasurface comprising four nanocubes with different permittivity asymmetries, which can be dynamically adjusted using Ge2Sb2Te5 (GST225), a phase-change material, in the near-infrared (NIR) region. Additionally, a simulation for a liquid molecule sensor based on the metasurface shows a sensitivity of 1017 nm/RIU. This research introduces a novel, to the best of our knowledge, approach for designing multi-band, dynamically tunable quasi-BIC metasurfaces, which are good candidates for tunable, high-sensitivity biochemical sensing and nonlinear optics applications.
