A recepção paradoxal de Milan Kundera no Brasil sob a ótica da Epistemologia do Romance
Authors: Barroso Maria Veralice
Published: October 2024

A Epistemologia do Romance demonstra especial interesse por autores que apresentam como resultado da criação obras oriundas de um gesto reflexivo cujas entrelinhas dizem ao leitor ser o romance literário uma construção estética orientada, não somente pela inspiração sensível, mas também pelo trabalho e pela consciência objetiva do escritor. Para a Epistemologia do Romance, tanto o labor quanto a reflexão serão mensurados e desenvolvidos no espaço ficcional conforme as intencionalidades do romancista. Ao retomar uma das proposições basilares que orientam os estudos epistemológicos do romance quanto ao exercício teórico-crítico frente às narrativas literárias – um olhar atento sobre a racionalidade e a intencionalidade do escritor -, encontro condições de expor aqui uma tentativa de dar conta de um longo percurso de pesquisa que fez do escritor tcheco Milan Kundera uma importante referência literária e teórica no âmbito dos trabalhos de pesquisa da Epistemologia do Romance. Para dar conta das reflexões pretendidas parto especificamente das controvérsias acerca da recepção kunderiana no Brasil.
Multimundos simbólicos e materiais
Authors: Moreira Menezes Ludimila
Published: October 2024

Este artigo busca pensar a relação entre a oralidade como espessura de uma linguagem que dissemina mundos, imaginações e pulsões de afetos ambivalentes e uma evocação não romantizada de ancestralidade marcada pela perspectiva amefricana da narradora negra do romance Louças de família, de Eliane Marques. O artigo também busca evidenciar a miríade de performances da língua portuguesa diante da amálgama sobretudo com o espanhol, as línguas indígenas e iorubá se adensando em um idioma, lugar de desrecalque de traumas e violências constitutivos da nação brasileira. Outro ponto que o artigo explora é a força criativa e a ética negativa de afetos como a raiva e o ressentimento para elaborar lutos, futuro e presente em uma dicção barroca, modernista e antirracista.
Teias de cuidado e articulações políticas quilombolas no contexto da covid-19: refletindo com a comunidade quilombola Sumidouro
Authors: Nabuco da Fonseca Clara , Fortes do Espírito Santo Isadora
Published: October 2024

Neste ensaio nos propomos a refletir sobre os modos de ser, fazer, resistir, existir e promover a vida das comunidades quilombolas (e tradicionais) evidenciados pela pandemia da covid-19, também diante a ameaça do então chefe do governo brasileiro, Jair Messias Bolsonaro. Reconhecemos no modo dentro da ética do cuidado (DE LA BELLACASA, 2020) e biointerativo (BISPO DOS SANTOS, 2015) fios éticos que costuram teias de cuidado para com todos os agentes humanos e não humanos que sustentam e possibilitam a vida nesses territórios. Para isso, partimos do encontro com a comunidade quilombola Sumidouro, que se deu através de trabalho etnográfico no decorrer de 2020 a 2023. Abordamos as experiências compartilhadas por algumas lideranças no que diz respeito ao enfrentamento da pandemia, suas consequências e a permanência de megaempreendimentos que ameaçam a vida tanto quanto o vírus. Por fim, reforçamos que o vírus serviu para revelar com ênfase as práticas genocidas do Estado e do governo, e ativar ainda mais as redes de cuidado e de articulações políticas do movimento quilombola na luta pela garantia dos serviços e políticas de saúde.

The article will conclude with discussions of the strengths, limitations, and lessons learned.
Child Life in Practice: Applying Theories in the Emergency Department and on a Pediatric Unit
Authors: Rourke Karin , Chen Jou-Chen , Blaisure Karen
Published: October 2024

Certified child life specialists (CCLS) serve as an integral component of the health care team by attending to the psychosocial concerns that arise as children and their families face stressful situations. The CCLS provides individualized care to meet the developmental needs of infants, children, teens, and young adults and assists in coping with medical-related stressors, using play as a main healing modality. As they engage, assess, and educate, CCLS use play for therapeutic purposes and provide education to children and their families regarding diagnosis, treatments, procedures or tests needed, strategies for coping and managing pain, and the medical environment. In this article, two theories and one process that help guide the work of the CCLS are applied in a scenario: Bronfenbrenner’s bioecological theory of human development (Bronfenbrenner, 2005), Lazarus and Folkman’s (1984) transactional theory of stress and coping, and the APIE process (Wilson et al., 2006). CCLS use theory to assess, plan, and provide appropriate interventions to promote optimal care of patients.

Incorporating q-Rung Picture Fuzzy Frank Prioritized Weighted Aggregators with Multimoora Strategy for Decision Making
Authors: Ramesh Chitra , Kesavan Prabakaran
Published: October 2024

The Frank norm operators and ˇq-rung picture fuzzy sets offer a versatile framework due to their adjustable parameters. Conversely, prioritized weighted operators are crucial for indicating the relative significance of alternatives and attributes. In this research, we have devised Frank’s prioritized weighted procedure for ˇq-rung picture fuzzy numbers. Thus, the ˇq-rung picture fuzzy prioritized weighted Frank averaging (ˇq-RPFPWFA) and geometric (ˇq-RPFPWFG) operators are presented and analyzed along with some of their properties. Utilizing these proposed operators, a novel approach is established, combining the enhanced MULTIMOORA (MM) procedure with unspecified weight data. A numerical example regarding the multiple attribute group decision making (MAGDM) problem of selecting the financial director of a residential society is handled based upon the aforementioned procedure. Furthermore, we have compared the results with those obtained using available operators. Evidently, the novel ˇq-RPFPWFA and ˇq-RPFPWFG aggregators with the MM technique yield reasonable and consistent outcomes for solving MAGDM.
Relativity and the Magnitude of Velocities
Authors: Ajeti Musa , Berisha Valbona , Klinaku Shukri
Published: October 2024

In modern physics, relativity is primarily understood through the framework of Einstein’s theory. According to the special theory of relativity (STR), Galilean relativity serves as a very accurate approximation at low velocities, where ‘relativistic effects’ can be neglected. However, at high velocities, these effects become significant and are accurately described by STR. This paper challenges this understanding, arguing that the opposite is true. In Galilean relativity, the relativity of time is substantial and cannot be ignored. Thus, relative time is more negligible in STR than in Galilean relativity. By comparing Galilean relativity and STR through physical, mathematical, and specific examples, two conclusions are drawn: first, the current categorization of relativity theories based on velocity magnitude is artificial and inaccurate; second, the relativity of time can be ignored in special relativity, while it remains significant and cannot be overlooked in Galilean relativity.

Authors: Saefullah Lalu , Kormil Saputra  , Wida Puteri Agista  , Masruroh  , Dionysius J. D. H. Santjojo  , Istiroyah
Published: October 2024

Radar-absorbent materials (RAMs) have become essential technologies in fields that require them, such as the military. Their working principle is that they absorb electromagnetic waves and prevent their reflection. In developing the manufacturing of RAMs, high-performance materials are needed for effective use as RAMs. In general, RAMs possess two essential properties: magnetic and dielectric. This research reports the author’s successful synthesis of an Fe2.75Mn0.25O4/rGO nanocomposite as an anti-radar material using the coprecipitation method. Interestingly, the main precursors used were natural materials, namely iron sand and corn cob waste. XRD, FTIR, and SEM-EDX characterized the research samples to determine the nanocomposite’s structure and phase, functional groups, and morphology after doping. XRD characterization results showed that Fe2.75Mn0.25O4/rGO nanoparticles had a cubic crystal structure and that there were no new peaks, which indicates that Mn had been successfully substituted into Fe. FTIR test results showed that the Fe2.75Mn0.25O4/rGO nanocomposite had Mn and Fe-O functional groups in octahedral and tetrahedral positions at wave numbers of 418 480 cm-1 and that there were C=C functional groups at the wave number of 1629 cm-1. SEM results showed that the nanocomposite comprised Fe2.75Mn0.25O4/rGO particles in agglomerated spheres and corn-cob-based rGO in sheet form, with a grain size of around 26–31 nm. EDX test results showed the appearance of Fe, Mn, O, and C elements. It was also found that the 3-mm-thick Fe2.75Mn0.25O4/rGO nanocomposite sample achieved the highest reflection loss (RL) value of -43.6 dB at a frequency of 8.5 GHz, indicating a significant radar wave absorption capability.

Authors: Chen Qinxian , Zhong Xuanxuan , Liu Xinyi
Published: October 2024

With the continuous advancement of education informatization, Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK), as a new theoretical framework, provides a novel method for measuring teachers’ informatization teaching ability. This study takes normal students of English majors from three ethnic universities as the research object, collects relevant data through questionnaires, and uses structural equation modeling to conduct data analysis and empirical research to investigate the differences in the TPACK levels of these students at different grades and the structural relationships among the elements in the TPACK structure. The technological pedagogical knowledge element of the TPACK structure was not obtained by exploratory factors analysis but through path analysis and structural equation modeling, the results show that the one-dimensional core knowledge of technological knowledge (TK), content knowledge (CK), and pedagogical knowledge (PK) have a positive effect on the two-dimensional interaction knowledge of technological content knowledge (TCK) and pedagogical content knowledge (PCK); furthermore, TCK and PCK have a positive effect on TPACK; and TK, CK, and PK indirectly affect TPACK through TCK and PCK. On this basis, suggestions are provided to ethnic colleges and universities to develop the TPACK knowledge competence of normal students of English majors.

The Pathways and Mechanisms for Collaborative Innovation in Vocational Education, Higher Education, and Continuing Education
Authors: Liu Yijun
Published: October 2024

Against the backdrop of rapid global economic development, the demand for education has gradually shifted from quantitative growth to qualitative improvement. Vocational education, higher education, and continuing education are crucial components of China’s education system, each serving different educational functions. However, the collaborative innovation among these three types of education is still in the preliminary exploration stage, with issues such as scattered resources and imperfect coordination mechanisms. This paper systematically reviews relevant domestic and international research and practical experiences, thoroughly analyzes the pathways, models, and mechanisms of collaborative innovation among these three types of education, and proposes practical and operational suggestions based on the actual situation in Xuzhou City. The study finds that collaboration between vocational education, higher education, and continuing education through innovation not only enhances the overall efficiency of educational resources but also promotes regional economic development and social progress. On this basis, this paper proposes specific measures such as building an education resource-sharing platform, promoting a chain-based talent training system, strengthening policy and institutional guarantees, and improving incentive mechanisms, aiming to provide a reference for local education administrators and contribute to the innovative development of education in China.

Experiments on suffusion of coarse soils from an ageing British dam
Authors: Benamar Ahmed , Santos Ricardo
Published: October 2024

This study presents a laboratory investigation on the susceptibility of suffusion in soil samples collected from a very old earth dam. The dam, rebuilt around 1800, is composed of two earth fills and lacks a clay core or filtration components, making it vulnerable to internal erosion. Following an inspection in 2006, concerns were raised about the dam’s vulnerability to internal erosion during strong floods. Boreholes and vibro-cores were performed to collect samples, which were then tested for suffusion susceptibility. The study found that four out of six samples were highly susceptible to suffusion erosion, with the erosion process starting at gradients much lower than unity. The opposite was observed for samples with fines content greater than 30% and showing some plasticity. The results were compared to predictions from seven geometric criteria found in the literature, but none of the methods could forecast the behaviour of all tests. The study highlights the need for laboratory tests when there is no agreement between the predictions from available criteria. The findings of this study were used to inform the rehabilitation of the dam, which included installing sand filters designed to capture the smallest particles and relief wells distributed along the entire length and height of the eastern embankment. The study demonstrates the importance of assessing suffusion susceptibility in embankment dam safety control and the need for laboratory tests to validate predictions from geometric criteria.

Authors: Ansari Md Asfaque , Roy Bahadur Lal , Kumar Sanjeet
Published: October 2024

Large quantities of scrap tires are produced by the automobile industry each year, which causes disposal challenges and impacts the environment. However, scrap tires exhibit various properties, including tensile strength, abrasion resistance, durability, thermal conductivity, elasticity, and more. Due to their versatile characteristics, these scrap tires can be utilized as construction materials for various civil engineering works to reduce their negative environmental effects and conserve natural resources. This study aims to understand the shear strength behaviours exhibited by geocell-reinforced mixtures of rubber and sand through the unconsolidated undrained triaxial test. Various parameters, including rubber sizes (425 μm to 12 mm), rubber contents (10% to 40% by volume), confining pressures (50 to 300 kPa), and geocell heights (0.2H to 0.8H, where H is the height of triaxial sample), were systematically examined to understand their impact on shear strength characteristics. The experimental findings reveal that deviatoric stress is enhanced with increasing confining pressure and rubber sizes. The maximum benefits of the rubber-sand mixture were observed at 30% rubber content. Geocell-reinforced rubber sand mixture has a higher shear strength with respect to the unreinforced mixture. Furthermore, the energy absorption capacity of the geocell-reinforced rubber sand mixtures was much better as compared to either the clean sand or rubber-sand mixture. The findings of this research demonstrate that geocellreinforced rubber sand mixtures are suitable for various geotechnical engineering works.

Published: October 2024

This research aims to provide answers to two problems: to analyze the influence of economic, ecological, and demographic variables on environmental quality and which variables of the three have more influence on environmental quality. Using panel data analysis, with 24 Emerging Markets countries as the research objects and a series for the period between 2013 to 2022, it was found that: (a) the variables of economic growth, greenhouse gases, petrol consumption, and population influence the pollution index, while carbon emissions have no significant effect on the Pollution Index in Emerging Market countries; (b) the variables that have the greatest influence on the pollution index in emerging market countries are ecological and demographic variables compared to economic variables. Based on the findings, the implications for policy implementation are: (a) providing understanding to the public about ecology; (b) increasing population must be balanced with increasing education for the community to provide information about maintaining environmental quality; and (c) directing a sustainable economic development model in all countries through an appropriate and consistent policy framework. Theoretically, this research contributes to sharpening and understanding the flow of thinking of the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) theory. Doi: 10.28991/HEF-2024-05-03-07 Full Text: PDF

Published: October 2024

With the objective of determining the productive components, chemical characterization, digestibility and energy contribution of the Brachiaria hybrid vc Mulato I at different ages of cuts in both periods of the year. For which a randomized block design with four repetitions was used. It was sampled in plots of 25 m2, to which a uniformity cut was applied 10 cm from the ground, without irrigation or fertilization. The yield of total dry matter, leaves and stems was determined; the length and width of the leaves; the leaf-stem ratio, chemical composition (CP, NDF, ADF, ADL, CC, Si, P, Ca, ash and OM), energy contributions and digestibility. A double classification analysis of variance was applied to each variable studied and the means were compared according to Duncan. Crude protein decreased with age for both periods, showing significant differences between all ages. The best values were shown at 30 days of cutt (9.47 and 10.40 % in the rainy and dry periods respectively), the fiber increased with age with its best values at 75 days with (71.39 and 70.11 % in the rainy periods and little rain), aspects that conditioned the quality with a decrease in digestibility and energy intake. The yield of the plant was affected by the periods of the year, being higher in the rainy period. It is concluded that the increase in regrowth age directly influences the depression of nutritional quality and yield in both periods of the year.
Inter-Candidate Agenda Setting Effect of the 2018 Mexican Presidential Election: Political Party Candidates Vs. an Inde-pendent Candidate
Authors: Flores María de los Ángeles
Published: October 2024

The 2018 Mexican presidential election marked the initiation of a new political communication dynamic in which traditional electoral communication strategies of political parties were challenged by an independent candidate. This study evaluated this innovative electoral setting by examining Telemundo’s electoral coverage of party-affiliated candidates —Anaya Cortés, Meade Kuribreña, and López Obrador— and the independent candidate —Rodríguez Calderón— through agenda setting theory. The data was collected from Telemundo’s national newscast “Noticias Telemundo” with José Díaz Balart during INE’s official 90-day electoral campaign period. The inter-candidate agenda setting effect regarding the horse race topics was strong among the contenders suggesting that Telemundo’s journalists were disseminating the same information regarding party candidates, but the journalists’ reporting differed when covering the independent candidate. Outcomes indicate that there were two dominant political discussions in Telemundo regarding horse race topics, one emerging from all party candidates and the other one from the independent candidate. The inter-candidate agenda setting effect of issues presented strong correlations among all contenders, suggesting that their policy issues news agendas in Telemundo were nearly identical, which could have made it difficult for voters to distinguish among the candidates’ campaign messages. Overall, Rodríguez Calderón challenged parties’ political communication strategies in terms of horse race topics for his ability to disseminate a distinct campaign message in Telemundo despite having acquired the most negative coverage from journalists. But the independent candidate did not represent an opposition for parties regarding issues because his political rhetoric was not dissimilar from the other contenders.

Published: October 2024

Indonesia has the highest rice consumption rate in the world, averaging 130 kg per capita per year. Despite government efforts to reduce this through food diversification programs, there has been little success. One approach to reducing rice consumption is to process non-rice ingredients into rice analogues that have similar characteristics to traditional rice. The amylose content of the ingredients plays a significant role in determining the physical properties of these rice analogues. Additionally, the screw speed of the extruder used in the production process also influences these physical characteristics. This study aimed to explore the impact of extruder screw speed and material amylose content on the physical properties of rice analogues. Local corn flour was mixed with high-amylose corn starch to create mixtures with amylose contents of 16.99, 19.35, 21.72% and 24.08%. The tested screw speeds were 100, 125, and 150 rpm. The evaluated physical characteristics included the hardness of the rice analogues, bulk density, cooked rice hardness, gumminess, and sensory properties of the cooked rice. The results showed that as amylose levels increased, the hardness of the rice analogues, cooked rice hardness, and gumminess also increased. Similarly, increasing the screw speed of the extruder led to higher cooked rice hardness, gumminess, and rice analogue hardness, but it decreased bulk density. The optimal extruder operating conditions were found to be an amylose content of 21.72% and a screw speed of 100 rpm, producing rice analogues with a hardness of 3610 gf, a bulk density of 0.63 g/mL, a cooked rice hardness of 3200 gf, and gumminess of 1200 gf.

Children's independence will be difficult to develop if there is no habituation, education, and supportive environment. This community service aims to strengthen children's independence through the scaffolding method implemented in storytelling activities. Scaffolding is a learning approach that allows children to develop abilities gradually with the help and guidance of a companion. The implementation of the community service was carried out at the Lab School Early Childhood Education which involved all students, parents, and teachers. The methods used include material development and direct practice with storytelling. Community service activities were carried out in several stages starting from teacher and parent training on storytelling techniques based on the principle of scaffolding, children were involved in storytelling sessions designed to develop independence, reflection and discussion activities were used to measure progress and provide feedback on children's independence. Data were collected through interviews, and content analysis from aspects of children's independence. The results of the study showed that children's independence has great potential to become a habit through scaffolding where children's independence in thinking and acting, improving communication skills, and strengthening relationships between children, teachers, and parents are more memorable to children when using the storytelling method. Active activities during storytelling that use music, movement, and positive narratives in educating children's independence so as to create a fun learning experience for children. The continuation of this community service activity will develop scaffolding content in the form of ebooks.

Gaya hidup modern masyarakat Kota Kendari dapat menimbulkan dampak terhadap kesehatan terutama stroke. Proses penyembuhan pasien stroke merupakan proses yang panjang sehingga membutuhkan peran keluarga sebagai caregiver. Kurangnya pengetahuan dan keterampilan caregiver dalam melakukan perawatan pasien pasca stroke di rumah dapat menimbulkan beban bagi caregiver. Caregiver belum pernah mendapatkan edukasi dan pelatihan tentang cara mengangkat dan memindahkan (Hands on) anggota keluarga pasca stroke. Tujuan pelatihan teknik Hands on dengan posisi ergonomi adalah meningkatkan pengetahuan dan keterampilan caregiver, yang pada akhirnya dapat berkontribusi dalam menurunkan beban termasuk beban biaya perawatan pasca stroke dan meningkatkan kualitas pelayanan kesehatan di masyarakat. Metode pelaksanaan pelatihan ini meliputi pemberian edukasi, demonstrasi, dan pendampingan. Pre test dan post test dilakukan sebelum dan setelah pelaksanaan pelatihan. Hasil pengabdian masyarakat ini terdapat peningkatan pengetahuan caregiver dan kader kesehatan sebesar 31% dan peningkatan keterampilan dalam menerapkan teknik hands on dengan posisi ergonomi. Hasil pengamatan selama redemonstrasi tampak bahwa peserta mampu mengulangi keterampilan yang telah diajarkan dengan baik. Pengetahuan dan keterampilan yang baik memudahkan caregiver stroke berperan aktif dalam proses pemulihan pasien stroke di rumah. Ilmu yang diperoleh dari pelatihan ini dapat dimanfaatkan caregiver dalam merawat anggota keluarga pasca stroke tanpa adanya keluhan kelelahan. Kader kesehatan juga dapat memanfaatkan ilmu dan keterampilan yang diperoleh selama kegiatan pelatihan ini dengan mengajarkan kepada caregiver lainnya yang belum mengikuti kegiatan pelatihan ini. Kegiatan pelatihan teknik Hands on dengan posisi ergonomi yang telah dilaksanakan memberikan pengetahuan baru dan meningkatkan keterampilan caregiver stroke informal dan kader kesehatan. Peningkatan ini dapat meningkatkan kualitas pelayanan kesehatan masyarakat.
