Published: July 2023

The productivity of lecturers’ scientific work is an important factor in career advancement, quality of study programs, and university rankings. The research aimed to strengthen and optimize the productivity of lecturers’ scientific work. The research method used is modeling and steering optimization (POP-SDM), data analysis using path analysis by looking for mathematical model equations. Scientific Identification Theory of Operation Research in Education Management (SITOREM) analysis is carried out to improve weak indicators and maintain strong indicators. The research was conducted on lecturers at private universities as many as 197 respondents. The qualitative research findings indicate that creativity, academic culture, knowledge management, and professional commitment were mentioned in the interviews. The results of quantitative research prove that creativity, academic culture, knowledge management, and professional commitment affect the productivity of lecturers’ scientific work. Research finds novelty through the SITOREM approach, by conducting an analysis to identify indicators of the variables studied in order to determine indicators that are good enough to be maintained and indicators that are still weak and need to be improved. The SITOREM approach can be in the form of a model for developing scientific papers for lecturers as a model of behavior, constellation patterns, and guidelines for the productivity of scientific works produced by lecturers.

Published: July 2023

The research reported on a literacy intervention program for 150 early grade learners from low socio-economic background by involving 50 volunteers in 50 different village spots in Sumbawa Regency of Indonesia. The research was emancipatory because it seeks to empower the community to address the local problems of literacy learning loss experienced by the needy early graders. The data were collected through literacy assessment, observation, interviews, and documentation. The findings showed that 90% of the early graders improved their literacy mostly with two and one level progress. Factors contributing to the success were good preparation of volunteers, engaging teaching approaches, relevant materials that suited student levels, and continuous assessment. The last key finding was that the volunteers strongly embodied teaching voluntarism as a soul with six features (affection towards others, action of giving, availability, positive inner feelings, heroism, and divinity). The recommendation from these findings is that multi-stakeholders, including the government, provide support to enhance the program sustainability. This research contributes a model of voluntary teaching for low socio-economic early graders that can be adapted in other locations in Indonesia and overseas.

Published: July 2023

Teachers hold strategic roles in the education system, and their career success is important to make sure they are strongly motivated at work. The big five personality is one of the personality approaches to form one’s subjective career success. This study aimed to identify the role of each dimension of the big five personality in affecting teachers’ subjective career success in Indonesia. To this end, the subjective career success inventory and personality item pool-big five factor makers were employed. This quantitative correlational study involved 320 teachers as respondents. The data were analyzed using multiple linear regression test. The result showed that dimensions of extraversion (p<0.000), agreeableness (p<0.000), and conscientiousness (p<0.001) influence Indonesian teachers’ subjective career success. These three dimensions show that teachers in Indonesia tend to have personalities related to other people’s acceptance or awareness of their social environment to attain subjective career success. Such personalities help them consider their personality and its aspects in evaluating their career.

Published: July 2023

The study examined the violation of the maxim of cooperation in early childhood conversation be means of a pragmatic case study, which is an important undertaking given the strong influence of the surrounding environment on children’s language development. Previous studies have delved into this area, particularly with regard to children with special needs, but have not widely explored how such a violation emerges in the early childhood period. Here, we adopted a qualitative approach using a pragmatic case study design, and over seven months collected data by observing, listening to and recording the conversations of a 4-year-old boy. The results of this process were used as transcripts for conversation data. Specifically, we found that of the 40 conversation data items concerning the form of cooperative maxim violations, there were 13 (32.5%) conversation data items. These results indicate that children in the early childhood period already possess pragmatic abilities, as evidenced by the ability to answer questions relevantly, but are constrained by their ignorance in answering questions correctly, thereby leading many children to violate the maxim of manners.

Published: July 2023

COVID-19 increases the awareness of cleanliness and sanitation in society. Trends in launching sanitizer and disinfectant products have risen significantly to meet customer demand. However, the existing commercial sanitizer products are mostly chemical-based and may cause adverse effects. Therefore, eco- enzyme is a perfect bio-waste utilization for nonchemical-based sanitization products. The authors investigated eco-enzymes' effectiveness in an aerosol spray from fruit waste for a pleasant natural disinfectant. This review aimed to compile results from previous studies on fruit waste by systematically reviewing empirical studies on household waste practices to develop an eco-enzyme following the PRISMA guidelines. A digital search in five databases from Google Scholar, PubMed, Garuda, Sinta, and Open Alex resulted in 24 relevant journals, considering keywords such as eco-enzyme, disinfectant, and organic waste. The mapping results show that eco-enzyme is feasible and economical for disinfecting and sanitizing surfaces due to its antimicrobial activity. The presence of acetic acids and enzymes (i.e., lipases and amylases) can inhibit specific strains of microorganisms, namely Escherichia coli and Enterococcus sp.

Published: July 2023

Nutritional literacy related to diabetes control can play an important role in glycemic control and the reduction of complications of type 2 diabetes. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between nutritional knowledge and hemoglobin A1C (HbA1c). In this study, nutritional literacy and its components (food portion, nutritional content, healthier food choice, and food label reading skill) were evaluated by a valid and reliable questionnaire designed in Singapore for the evaluation of diabetes-related nutrition knowledge. Furthermore, family income, level of education, type of ethnicity, having a smartphone, as well as access to social media of 64 type 2 diabetic patients were assessed. Pearson’s Correlation coefficient between HbA1c and total nutritional knowledge score was calculated at -0.58, which was significant (p<0.001). Participants scored 48%, 55%, 51%, 52%, and 52% of total score for food portion and sizes, nutrition content of food, healthier food choices and safety, food label reading, and overall, respectively. After controlling for possible confounding, regression model results suggested nutritional knowledge and family income were two potential predictors of HbA1c. Improving nutrition and media literacy may help reduce blood sugar levels and treatment costs.

Published: July 2023

The drug delivery system in breast cancer therapy with the thermosensitive hydrogel method developed significantly due to the influence of the availability of various polymers which have characteristics that are affected by changes in temperature. Drug release from thermosensitive gel preparations has advantages over traditional intravenous drug release. Despite the fact that the injectable thermosensitive hydrogel has the capability of gradual and sustained drug release, the drug release from the hydrogel is unpredictable because drug diffusion and hydrogel degradation are both uncontrollable processes. In this review, we examine a localized hydrogel thermosensitive system with regard to the effectiveness of drug release in the treatment of breast cancer

Nowadays, there are lots of hospitals both managed by the private and public sectors. It is a fact that patients have an excellent opportunity to choose the hospital they want to be treated in, which will lead to higher competition between hospitals. Hospitals must be ready to compete with public and private hospitals. The strategy is carried out as well as possible for the success of the services offered by the hospital. One that can be done is using the 7Ps marketing mix theory (product, price, place, promotion, people, physical evidence, and process), which aims to increase the number of visits to the hospital. This research is quantitative research, descriptive-analytic with a cross-sectional approach. The sample size in this study was 110 people, chosen from outpatients in the studied hospital. The sampling technique in this study used purposive sampling with criteria determined by the researcher. The analysis used in this study is multivariate analysis. In this study, it was found that all variables influence consumer decision-making. However, from the seven variables that have been tested, three variables greatly influence consumer decisions partially in using services in the studied hospital. These variables are promotion, process, and physical evidence.

Published: July 2023

In Indonesia, dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) continues to be an issue. Although there have been fewer dengue infections in the past three years, many areas of Indonesia remain dengue endemic. Insecticide use is one DHF prevention and control method that has been used for a long time. Long-term usage of insecticides can cause the vector, Aedes aegypti, to develop resistance. Insecticide resistance to Aedes aegypti in Indonesia was the focus of this study's analysis of the literature review. A systematic review using keywords based on population, interest and context (PICo) was employed in the study strategy. The databases used to find the publications were ScienceDirect, ProQuest, PubMed, Google Scholar, and Garuda from 2018 to 2022. Hence, 40 papers out of the 6,429 total articles were relevant and should be reviewed and analyzed. According to an analysis of the paper, it was discovered that Aedes aegypti mosquitoes are resistant to insecticides of the pyrethroid and organophosphate classes in various parts of Indonesia. However, it was discovered that several regions were both tolerant of and vulnerable to pyrethroids and organophosphates. If insecticides are to be utilized intolerant and vulnerable locations, monitoring and evaluation of their usage must be done, and a strategy of varying insecticide kinds and dosages and boosting community empowerment toward mosquito nest elimination behaviour must be implemented.

Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) experienced diabetes burnout, which influences the patient’s daily living. Some treatments had been introduced to reduce this burnout, but self-instructional training method remained unknown for its effectiveness. This study was aimed to analyse the influence of self-instructional training toward diabetes burnout syndrome. This research was a quasy-experimental study involving patients with diabetes mellitus type 2. About 72 respondents were chosen using purposive sampling. This study divided the respondents into control and treatment groups. The treatment group gained self-instructional training in 4 meetings. Data was obtained from pre-test and post-test using diabetes burnout scale questionnaire and analysed with Paired T-test and Independent T-test. Study results showed that the treatment group had a significant decrease in diabetes burnout (severe to low level) (p=0.000). Diabetes burnout score among treatment group was lower compared to the control group (24.69±4.73; 19.19±4.24). In the control group, there was no significant statistical reduction about diabetes burnout (p=0.110). Besides, this study presented the difference diabetes burnout syndrome between treatment and control group (p=0.000; p<0.05). This study showed self-instructional training could minimize the occurrence of diabetes burnout syndrome among T2DM patients. This method has been proven to influence patient’s behaviour positively.

Unhealthy food intake, physical inactivity, and body image (BI) dissatisfaction could potentially lead to obesity and health problems. This cluster-randomized intervention study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of a nutrition and physical activity (PA) intervention on related knowledge, attitudes, and practices among Saudi adolescent girls (aged 13–14) living in Arar City. One hundred thirty-eight girls were selected and recruited randomly from two schools. The respondents in the intervention group (IG; n=68) received a three-month intervention program that consisted of six 90- minute sessions. The participants in the control group (CG; n=70) received only their traditional education and did not receive the intervention program. The groups’ total pre-test scores for practices were significantly different; therefore, the pre-test scores were used as covariates. The IG demonstrated significant improvements in knowledge, attitudes, and practices (p<0.001 for all), and improvement in the IG was greater than that in the CG at the post- test and three-month follow-up time points (p<0.001 for both). These findings provide evidence of the significant influence of a nutrition, PA, and positive BI intervention on related knowledge, attitudes, and practices among Saudi adolescent girls.

The National Health Insurance program started running in Indonesia on January 1, 2014. Along with the increasing number of National Health Insurance participants and health facilities, more criticism has emerged from various parties, including from National Health Insurance providers regarding the alleged fraud. Fraud can have a negative effect on finances, the standard of medical care, and the perpetrator's reputation. This study's goal was to assess the likelihood that fraud may occur at Dadi Regional Hospital in Makassar, Indonesia. The study also explored the procedures and policies in place for preventing the fraud. This qualitative study employed phenomenological design. The results of the study show that there is a fraud prevention system at Dadi Regional Hospital in the form of policy and guideline formulation, a culture of prevention, implementation of quality control, and cost control. Even though they already have a prevention system in place, there is still some lack of information being disseminated about the fraud prevention team established. There are still frequent discrepancies between the diagnosis code input in the National Health Insurance system and the patient's diagnosis Hence, the Internal Monitoring Unit is still in the process of establishing a fraud prevention system

The skills of a good nurse manager, the quality and quantity of human resources, and the development of human resources to face changes both the internal and external environments begin with building nurses' commitment to various indicators of human resources development in hospitals that have an impact on customer or patient satisfaction. Quantitative research with an analytical observational approach was conducted in hospitals, with a sample of 136 nurses from the population obtained by probability sampling. The results of the statistical test that training is the human resources development factor that most affect the job satisfaction of nurses in hospitals with an Exp (B) ratio or odds of 1.790, indicating that nurses with more specialized training tend to be 1.790 times more satisfied than nurses with less specialized training, and that this is also true since their Exp B grades are good. This study concludes that training has a big impact on how happy nurses are. As healthcare providers in hospitals, nurses need to optimize their abilities and competencies to raise the standard of nursing care. Nursing directors are essential in building and recruiting, and measuring nurse competencies.

Published: July 2023

Melanin-producing cells are the origin of melanoma, the worst form of skin cancer (Melanocytes). If this cancer is not caught early, it might spread to other organs. With automated diagnostic technologies, clinicians and non- professionals may better diagnose diseases. Dermoscopic analysis, biopsy, and histological tests may be needed starting with a clinical assessment. Photo-based skin lesion categorization is challenging due to the fine-grained variability of skin lesions. We provide a more reliable melanoma detection model for each suspicious lesion in this paper. A set of characteristics characterizing a skin lesion's borders, texture, and coloursis used to educate convolutional neural networks. The deep learning models were generated using a standard dataset. To know the model's performance, consider the metrics like accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, Jaccard index and Dice coefficient. Transfer learning is used to categorize normal and diseased skin pictures automatically. This model-driven design helps doctors swiftly assess lesions.

Published: July 2023

Vector surveillance and control are the only reliable means for the prevention and control of dengue fever and dengue hemorrhagic fever, such as in Customary Village environments. Indonesia is an archipelagic country that has many Customary Villages, so the variables that affect the breeding of dengue vectors are numerous and complex. This study identifies potential vector breeding places and environmental factors for the presence of Aedes sp. in Customary Villages. A study with a cross-sectional design was conducted in the Segenter Customary Villages, West Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia. Simple and multiple logistic regression analysis to identify risk factors associated with the presence of Aedes larvae. The results showed that the entomological index was in the high category and at risk as a potential breeding place for the Aedes sp. The determinant factor that affects the presence of dengue vectors is the traditional type of house (p-value=0.005; RP=2.138). This factor is strengthened by the 70-90% humidity (p-value= 0.009; RP=1.764), 25-30 oC house temperatures (p-value=0.011; RP=1.650), and mixed type house (p-value=0.067; RP=1.413). These findings contribute to the development of an early warning system regarding the potential spread of Aedes vector-borne diseases, increase awareness, promote and prevention of dengue fever (DF), and its vectors to healthy tourism in Indonesia.

Published: July 2023

Quality of life (QoL) has received more and more attention from scholars and researchers from various fields such as healthcare, philosophy, psychology, sociology, and especially economics after many decades of focusing on income. However, researchers have faced many challenges to gain the proper measurement of QoL due to the contextually based concept. This study employs the primary data conducted in Ho Chi Minh City including 500 observations in 2022, with the application of partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) to construct a hierarchical model to measure the QoL of the dwellers in Ho Chi Minh City. The empirical model supports the multi-level hierarchical structure of the QoL. The statistically significant contribution of economic, social, and environmental dimensions in the integrated index has been confirmed. The environmental component shares the highest weight, followed by the economic factor. The social aspect contributes the least share in the quality- of-life index. Further analysis of the sub-criteria in each dimension has been made. The findings implicitly suggest the policy concentration on sustainable factors enhancement to raise the QoL. It was a milestone for policy makers to switch the focus from material to non-material factors in the life quality model in Vietnam.

Quality of Life in Epilepsy Inventory 10 (QOLIE-10) and QOLIE-31 is used to measure patient’s quality of life. While longer version of QOLIE-31 is thought to have higher validity and reliability, QOLIE-10 is shorter and more practical to use in clinical setting. This study aimed to compare Indonesian version of QOLIE-10 and QOLIE-31. This was a cross sectional study conducted at Dr. Moewardi General Hospital, Surakarta, Indonesia. Participant were asked to complete the Indonesian version of QOLIE-10 and QOLIE-31, and data obtained then analysed to find the correlation between QOLIE-10 and QOLIE-31. A total of 51 epilepsy patients were included on this study. We observed correlation of 0.41 to 0.84 (p<0.05) for each item of QOLIE-10 with their respective QOLIE-31 subscale. We also found correlation value of 0.898 (p=.000) between total score of QOLIE-10 and QOLIE-31 showing strong positive correlation of two questionnaire. Independent T-sample test on QOLIE-10 and QOLIE-31 T-score result of p=.361, showing no statistical difference between two questionnaires. Frequency of seizure is correlated with patients’ quality of life. QOLIE-10 has strong positive correlation to QOLIE-31, which make it a useful tool to assess epilepsy patients’ quality of life.

Published: July 2023

The inability to control themselves causes adolescents to have low self- regulation and causes engage in risky sexual behavior which can cause serious problems such as sexually transmitted diseases, disability, and death. This study aims to develop a self-regulation model based on the theory of planned behavior to prevent risky sexual behavior in adolescents. Explanatory observation with a cross-sectional approach to 140 adolescents in four high schools/vocational schools selected using a convinience sampling. Data collection used questionnaires, focus group discussion (FGD), and expert discussions. Data analysis using partial least square. The development of a self-regulation model based on the theory of planned behavior toward preventing risky sexual behavior in adolescents has the best path, namely the path from background factors (X1) to subjective norms (X3) to personal regulation (X6) and behavioral self-regulation (Y1). The direct effect shows that intention (X4) has a direct effect on self-regulation (Y1). Intention is an important domain for forming a behavior through attitudes, subjective norms, and behavioral control so that self-regulation will be formed to prevent risky sexual behavior in adolescents. Adolescents should be given the training to improve self-regulation to be able to take action to prevent risky sexual behavior.

Resultados: Nessa revisão integrativa foram selecionados 41 estudos primários publicados nos últimos 5 anos, disponíveis gratuitamente e nos idiomas inglês e português. Discussão: Com relação às técnicas não farmacológicas, observou-se que os métodos de exercício físico, dieta, medicina tradicional iraniana, suplementação de vitamina D e terapia cognitivo-comportamental obtiveram boa eficácia na atenuação dos sintomas da SPM, como dismenorreia e alterações de humor; o tratamento com auriculoterapia mostrou resultados semelhantes ao uso de placebo; outros como acupuntura e acupressão não trouxeram resultados conclusivos.  Entre os métodos farmacológicos, o tratamento padrão preconizado é por meio de anticoncepcionais orais combinados. Além disso, o uso de inibidores seletivos da recaptação da serotonina (ISRSs) pode aumentar a quantidade de serotonina para neurotransmissão e consequentemente melhorar os sintomas da SPM. Os moduladores seletivos do receptor de estrogênio oferecem uma estratégia segura para manejo de sintomas, inclusive os de menopausa. O uso de moduladores do receptor de progesterona, por outro lado, mostrou maior controle de comportamentos agressivos. Por fim, um estudo multicêntrico realizado na Suécia mostrou resultado promissor do neuroesteroide endógeno em comparação ao uso de anticoncepcionais orais combinados. Conclusão: Há fortes indícios de melhora dos sintomas da SPM diante das diversas possibilidades para sua reabilitação, sejam elas farmacológicas ou não-farmacológicas.

A rombencefalite é uma inflamação rara que acomete a região do tronco cerebral e cerebelo. Esta condição tem relação com consequências neurológicas graves e representa um desafio para a equipe de saúde. Neste sentido, propõe-se a abordagem do histórico de internação hospitalar de um paciente com diagnóstico de rombencefalite secundária à neuromielite óptica em um setor de terapia intensivo. Os dados foram coletados a partir dos registros hospitalares em um hospital de referência em Recife, Pernambuco, Brasil no período de setembro de 2020. A partir da análise dos dados coletados foi possível elaborar os cuidados de enfermagem no contexto neurointensivo. O reconhecimento das necessidades do paciente acometido por doenças raras fornece uma melhor qualidade na assistência de saúde prestada pelos profissionais de saúde, em especial a equipe de enfermagem.
Estresse e coping entre estudantes do ciclo básico de medicina durante a pandemia de COVID-19
Authors: Almeida Adriano Leitão de , Costa Juan Enrique Moraes da , Cordovil Valéria Rebouças
Published: July 2023

Introdução: A realidade dos estudantes de medicina os leva a buscar estratégias de enfrentamento, que são diferentes formas de lidar com situações estressoras, visando melhorar a saúde mental. Contudo, a pandemia de COVID-19 modificou drasticamente este contexto, pelo estresse gerado, pela limitação do uso de estratégias e pela implementação do ensino híbrido no curso de medicina. Objetivo: Avaliar as estratégias de enfrentamento ao estresse de estudantes do ciclo básico de medicina, correlacionando com o nível de estresse dos alunos. Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo transversal, descritivo, de caráter qualitativo e quantitativo, aplicando-se a escala de estresse percebido e o inventário de comportamento de enfrentamento a alunos dos primeiros dois anos do curso de medicina, avaliando as estratégias mais utilizadas e comparando-as com o estresse percebido e com variáveis sociodemográficas, cuja análise foi feita com ANOVA, qui-quadrado e regressão múltipla, considerando significância de 5%. Resultados: Ao todo, 150 respostas foram obtidas. As estratégias mais utilizadas foram resolução, otimismo e transferência, mais prevalentes no 4° semestre, turma que apresentou relativamente menos estresse. O evitamento, apesar de menos utilizada na amostra, foi mais recorrida no grupo com estresse alto e apresentou uma relação positiva com esta variável, em contraste com resolução e otimismo, com relação negativa e menos usadas em altos níveis de estresse. Houve uma relação significativa entre religião e a resolução, com maior uso desta estratégia entre evangélicos e espíritas em comparação com agnósticos e sem religião.  Conclusão: A pesquisa conclui que resolução e otimismo foram estratégias mais empregadas pelos estudantes e são potencialmente funcionais, enquanto o evitamento, apesar de menos utilizado, é potencialmente disfuncional para o controle do estresse. Os achados deste estudo, no cenário atípico de pandemia, devem orientar pesquisas futuras dentro deste tema.

Segundo o artigo 6º da Constituição Brasileira1, a saúde é um direito de todos, um direito social. E é nosso dever como cidadãos, profissionais da área da saúde, zelar para a garantia deste direito fundamental. E a meu ver, esse dever também está associado com a formação de futuros(as) profissionais da saúde, pois, o(a) estudante está em fase de aprendizagem do que encontrará nas portas além dos muros acadêmicos das Universidades.
Literatura afro-brasileira feminina nas salas de aula: um recorte inspirado na percepção de estudantes do Mestrado Profissional em Letras da Uemasul
Authors: Vieira Duana Ravena dos Santos , Correa Jannyelle de Souza
Published: July 2023

A produção artístico-literária está diretamente ligada ao contexto histórico-social e se constitui como uma forma de representação da sociedade em que se vive. Neste artigo propomos questões importantes sobre o espaço das autoras afro-brasileiras nas salas de aula do Brasil, na percepção de estudantes do Mestrado Profissional em Letras da Universidade Estadual da Região Tocantina do Maranhão (Uemasul), que cursaram a disciplina Memórias, Histórias e Identidades Culturais Afro-Brasileiras. Evidenciamos três autoras afro-brasileiras que foram estudadas na disciplina em questão e ressaltamos a importância de suas obras chegarem às salas de aula do Brasil, considerando a representatividade e a necessidade real de dar voz às minorias tão prejudicadas ao longo da história, diante da construção e do fortalecimento de um cânone literário branco e masculinista. Para fundamentar este artigo, contamos com os(as) autores(as): Assis Duarte, Cuti, Kabengele Munanga e Ngozi Adichie Chimamanda. Neste texto, após apresentarmos as autoras afro-brasileiras, compartilhamos recortes de entrevistas com professores de língua portuguesa sobre o espaço que essas figuras têm nas salas de aula que frequentam, pois é preciso combater o silenciamento sofrido por essas autoras durante a formação da nossa sociedade e, consequentemente, da nossa literatura.
Democracia racial nas obras de autoras e autores negros
Authors: Souza Joanízia Feitósa de , Ecar Ariadne Lopes
Published: July 2023

Esta pesquisa tem por objetivo pensar o racismo no Brasil contemporâneo que é um país com multiplicidade étnica e racial. Analisamos como se apresenta a democracia no contexto racial, apoiando-se principalmente nas obras de autores negros como Kabengele Munanga, Silvio de Almeida, Frantz Fanon, Sueli Carneiro, bell hooks e Neusa Santos Souza. Buscamos, a partir da reinterpretação de narrativas históricas, analisar o pensamento crítico de escritoras e escritores negros como uma resposta à desigualdade racial e opressões a partir de suas perspectivas e vivências. Consideramos a necessidade de reparação histórica e políticas públicas para enfrentamento ao racismo, observamos os efeitos das cotas raciais em relação ao acesso ao ensino superior. O objetivo central da pesquisa realizada foi provocar discussões acerca da problemática racial no Brasil, como um símbolo de resistência que possa ser transformado em reparação contra o apagamento histórico, em resposta à democracia racial brasileira que é fracionada e excludente contra os grupos racializados.

O enredo se passa em Angola, num cenário marcado por guerras pela independência colonial, bem como pós-coloniais, notadamente as guerras civis, as quais se conformam como traumas históricos que marcam as vidas das personagens. Buscou-se em autores como Jeanne Marie Gagnebin e; Márcio Seligmann-Silva o embasamento teórico para análise da obra.
Santo Antônio de nó de pinho: expressão material de uma devoção mestiça
Authors: Souza Marina de Mello e
Published: July 2023

Existentes no antigo Congo, na África Centro-ocidental, imagens de Santo Antônio foram lá confeccionadas e utilizadas de formas particulares. Quando relacionadas a esse contexto, pequenas imagens de Santo Antônio feitas no Vale do Rio Paraíba paulista ganham novos sentidos, só perceptíveis quando são consideradas as culturas de origem dos escravizados para lá levados. Este artigo atualiza a análise já feita pela autora em artigo anterior, trazendo novas informações acerca das circularidades atlânticas que uniram o sudeste paulista à África Centro-ocidental.
