Authors: Özkaya Öztopcu Özlem
Published: September 2024

Nahda, Mısır’da 19. yüzyılın sonlarından 20. yüzyılın başlarına kadar süren, öncülüğünü İslami reformistlerin, yazarların ve milliyetçilerin yaptığı entelektüel ve kültürel canlanma dönemini ifade eder. İngiliz işgâli ve Osmanlı-Türk seçkinciliğinden duyulan rahatsızlık Nahda döneminin belirleyicilerinden olmuş, bu sebeple başlayan eylemler ile 1919 Devrimi yaşanmıştır. Devrimin etkili olduğu bu dönemin sanat anlayışı iki karakteristik özellik barındırmaktadır. Birincisi, Mısır’ın antik ve görkemli döneminin yeniden hatırlanması ve ulusal tarih yazımında kayda değer bir yere getirilebilmesi amacıyla Yeni-Firavunculuğun benimsenmesi; diğeri ise dil ve coğrafya temelli kapsayıcı Mısır milliyetçiliği ideallerinin eserlerde görselleştirilmesidir.
Bu makalede Mahmud Muhtar’ın Nahdet Misr heykelindeki Yeni-Firavuncu stil üzerinden dönemin ulusal kimlik oluşturma sürecinden bahsedilmektedir. Özellikle antik Mısır dönemi estetiğinin modernleşen Mısır’ın ulusal kimlik oluşturma sürecine nasıl ve neden katıldığı üzerinde durulmaktadır. Modern Mısır’ın siyasi tarihinde önemli yer kaplayan Vefd Partisi milliyetçiliğinin belirtilen eser ile etkileşimleri ve bunun toplumsal ve siyasi yaşamdaki yansımaları makalenin tarihsel içeriğini oluşturmaktadır.

Como se pensa, se faz e se come a comida na escola: o PNAE e os significados sobre alimentação entre mulheres cantineiras e crianças no município mineiro de São João Batista do Glória
Authors: Codogno Camila Guedes
Published: September 2024

Partindo do pressuposto de que a alimentação é central para se pensar a organização social das sociedades humanas e de que a percepção do que é considerado saudável ou saboroso é relativo às experiências histórico-culturais de cada sociedade, este trabalho realiza uma reflexão, baseada em um relato de experiência de um projeto de extensão sobre a implementação do Programa Nacional de Alimentação Escolar (PNAE) enquanto política pública no município mineiro de São João Batista do Glória. Neste sentido, identificou-se que para além de questões objetivas relativas à produção, compra, preparo e consumo dos alimentos oriundos da agricultura familiar local, há que se atentar para aspectos simbólicos que envolvem o potencial para a plena execução do Programa. Desta forma, é de suma importância atentar-se para a agência de dois atores sociais fundamentais nesta engrenagem e na reelaboração dos patrimônios alimentares: as mulheres que produzem as refeições escolares, conhecidas como “cantineiras” e os consumidores destes alimentos, neste caso, as crianças.

Published: September 2024

A ansiedade generalizada é um transtorno psiquiátrico que afeta milhões de pessoas, gerando impactos significativos na qualidade de vida. Embora tratamentos convencionais, como os benzodiazepínicos e os inibidores seletivos da recaptação de serotonina (ISRS), sejam amplamente utilizados, eles apresentam limitações como risco de dependência e efeitos colaterais indesejados. Diante disso, surgem novas abordagens farmacológicas com o potencial de oferecer maior eficácia e segurança. Para isso, foi realizada uma revisão narrativa da literatura, abrangendo 14 artigos de bases científicas como BVS e SciELO, selecionados por critérios específicos, como publicações entre 2008-2024, em português, inglês ou espanhol. Estudos recentes exploram alternativas como os moduladores do sistema endocanabinoide, antagonistas de receptores NMDA e intervenções voltadas para o eixo hipotálamo-hipófise-adrenal. Esses tratamentos emergentes prometem superar as limitações dos medicamentos tradicionais, especialmente para pacientes que não respondem adequadamente às terapias atuais. A personalização dos tratamentos, impulsionada pela farmacogenômica, também é destacada como uma área crucial para melhorar os resultados terapêuticos. Embora esses avanços sejam promissores, muitos estudos ainda estão em fases iniciais, e há uma necessidade urgente de ensaios clínicos de longo prazo que avaliem a segurança e eficácia dessas novas intervenções, especialmente em populações vulneráveis. Além disso, é necessário padronizar as metodologias de pesquisa para permitir comparações mais consistentes entre os diferentes tratamentos. A evolução dessas novas terapias representa um avanço significativo no tratamento da ansiedade generalizada, mas ainda há desafios importantes a serem superados para garantir sua ampla aplicação clínica e acessibilidade. O desenvolvimento contínuo de pesquisas nessa área será fundamental para consolidar essas novas abordagens e oferecer melhores opções terapêuticas aos pacientes.
Biomechanical and Proprioceptive Differences during Drop Landings between Dancers and Non-dancers
Authors: Volkerding Katie E. , Ketcham Caroline J.
Published: September 2024

The focus of this research was to determine if female dancers have differing kinematic and kinetic characteristics when landing from three heights (0.2, 0.5, and 0.8 m) both with and without vision compared to non-dancers. It was hypothesized that dancers would show differing kinematic and kinetic patterns of control due to their increased proprioceptive awareness. Eight collegiate dancers and seven collegiate controls who were neither dancers nor collegiate jumping athletes volunteered for this study. Sagittal plane lower limb joint angles were measured at 100 Hz prior to landing through stability with a high-speed camera, and peak vertical ground reaction forces relative to body weight were recorded with an indwelling force plate. Results indicated biomechanical differences across height and vision conditions, as well as between groups. Kinetic results showed a significant height effect with respect to vertical ground reaction forces. From the 0.8 m drop, both dancers and non-dancers produced significantly greater ground reaction forces when landing without vision compared to when they landed with vision. No significant kinetic differences were found between groups. Kinematic results revealed a significant height effect for the hip and knee angles across groups and vision conditions, meaning that as drop height increased, the participants demonstrated greater range of motion in their hip and knee joints. Dancers and non-dancers responded differently when dropping from 0.8 m without vision. Dancers significantly increased hip flexion compared to landing with vision, while non-dancers tended to stiffen up and reduced hip flexion. These findings suggest that dancers utilize proprioceptive input more effectively as they adopted a hip strategy (flexion of the hips) to maintain stability. Training dancers without vision may impact dance instruction and reduce the risk of injuries when landing.
Comparisons between Swing Phase Characteristics of Race Walkers and Distance Runners
Authors: Smith Laura C. , Hanley Brian
Published: September 2024

The aim of this study was to analyze swing characteristics during race walking and to compare these with distance running. The rules of race walking demand that no visible flight time should occur and the stance leg must be straightened from initial contact to midstance. Previous research has not examined whether these rules also have an effect on swing and what consequences might arise. Ten male race walkers and ten male distance runners walked or ran respectively on an instrumented treadmill for 10 km with two in-dwelling force plates. Trials lasted 30 seconds and simultaneous 2D video data were recorded and digitized at 125 Hz. The moment of inertia of the thigh, shank, foot and whole lower limb was calculated using the parallel axis theorem. The distance runners were faster with longer strides, although cadence was not different. The race walkers had shorter swing times, longer contact times, and smaller maximum knee flexion angles (100° ± 6) than the distance runners (56° ± 6). The smaller knee flexion angles in race walkers meant they experienced greater swing leg moment of inertia than the distance runners but there were few associations in either group between knee flexion angle or moment of inertia with key performance parameters. Swing phase kinematics in race walking are restricted by the rules of the event and result in knee angular motions different from those in distance running, preventing race walkers from reaching the speeds attainable by distance runners.
Improving NSAID Safety: The Role of Transdermal Ketoprofen in the Management of Musculoskeletal Pain and Inflammation
Authors: LaStella Alexandra
Published: September 2024

Pain and inflammation affect patients both acutely and chronically across all patient demographics. Often, the medications which are used to target musculoskeletal conditions are poorly tolerated due to various contraindications, drug interactions, and troublesome adverse events. The investigation and development of localized, externally applied NSAIDs is on the rise among researchers and pharmaceutical manufacturers, but research is still inefficient in determining the role in therapy of transdermal analgesics and anti-inflammatories. Compounding Pharmacies and FDA 503b Outsourcing Facilities aid in this critical endeavor through endogenous compounding and manufacturing (respectively) of transdermal analgesic formulations. This review summarizes the currently available data supporting the implementation of transdermal ketoprofen preparations in the management of musculoskeletal pain and inflammation. Externally applied NSAIDs are crucial in the development of pain management modalities which reduce the risk of numerous complications, including drug-drug interactions, conflicting comorbidities, and harmful systemic adverse events.

DESIGNING ARCHITECTURE TECHNOLOGY BASED CLOUD COMPUTING IN BUILDING MATERIALS MANUFACTURER
Authors: Fajar Muttaqi
Published: September 2024

Users can access the necessary services from anywhere and at any time thanks to the cloud computing technology, which places the majority of processing and computing on the Internet. However, in practice, each business develops its own information systems architecture and requirements. This brings up a number of issues, including the potential for redundant information systems, the lack of data structure standards, the inability of information systems to consolidate their data, and inconsistent information system development. The motivation behind developing a model of information technology architecture using the idea of cloud computing stems from some of these issues. A cloud-based information technology architectural model was created in line with the requirements and needs of the organization based on the analysis of the company's state and the use of the chosen framework. Another Indonesian company is anticipated to benefit from the research, primarily as a resource for constructing the information technology architecture.

Published: September 2024

Palaeobotanical reconstruction of the Eemian Interglacial vegetation and climate, revealed differences resulting from panregional and local factors. Lithostratigraphic analyses documented changes in sediments associated with evolution of three fossil Żabieniec lakes. Special attention was paid to Mid Eemian, for which records of thermophilic taxa were found. During the next phase the eutrophic lake shallowed, and a peatbog was formed. These processes were asynchronous and suggesting three separate lake basins. Sediments recording the longest phase of the interglacial revealed a long pause in sedimentation caused probably by a combination of factors (drop in the water level and increase in climate continentality).
«De sancto Adriano» («Legenda aurea», CXXVIII) y su recepción en el «Flos sanctorum» catalán (ms. P)
Authors: Puche López María Carmen
Published: September 2024

En este trabajo analizamos la vida De sancto Adriano que recoge Vorágine en su Legenda aurea, CXXVIII, y prestamos particular atención al personaje de Natalia, la esposa del santo, que tiene un singular protagonismo en el relato y es un claro ejemplo de cómo la hagiografía recoge tópicos y motivos de otros géneros literarios para «construir» como personajes a los modelos de santidad y hacerlos más familiares y cercanos. El análisis está dividido en tres secciones: las descripciones de los rasgos y cualidades del personaje, sus intervenciones en estilo directo y sus acciones. En cada una de estas secciones, llevamos a cabo, además, un análisis comparativo del texto latino con el de la tradición catalana (particularmente el del manuscrito P), con el objetivo de comprobar en qué medida es una traducción fiel del texto latino y si introduce cambios significativos en la caracterización del personaje de Natalia
Morfología del encierro: obturación del espacio público y expresionismo en el teatro de Buenos Aires durante la última dictadura militar (1976-1983). El caso de Visita (1977).
Authors: Schcolnicov Eugenio
Published: September 2024

El siguiente trabajo se propone indagar las resonancias políticas que se advierten en las concepciones espaciales desplegadas en la obra Visita (1977), escrita por Ricardo Monti y dirigida por Jaime Kogan en el Teatro Payró. En la primera parte del estudio señalaremos algunos rasgos específicos del dispositivo de censura construido por el régimen militar y describiremos su incidencia en la estructura del espacio público, en las dinámicas de la vida colectiva y en los modos de organización y producción del campo cultural. Posteriormente, focalizaremos nuestro análisis en las concepciones espaciales que se advierten en la obra, tanto en el nivel del texto dramático como en las estrategias de escenificación desplegadas en la puesta en escena. En ambos casos, identificaremos la reformulación de una serie de procedimientos vinculados al expresionismo teatral que incidieron en las características del espectáculo y en sus imaginarios espaciales. Nuestro estudio parte de algunos supuestos teóricos elaborados por David Harvey (2006) y Edward Soja (2008, 2010) en torno a la construcción social del espacio, su articulación con el desarrollo de las prácticas artísticas y sus connotaciones políticas. Tanto en sus aspectos temáticos como en su dimensión formal, los imaginarios espaciales desplegados por Visita pueden ser leídos como síntoma y como metáfora de la obturación del “espacio público” y de las dinámicas que la conducta social asumió durante el último régimen militar.
Estrategias retóricas y posiciones subjetivas en la representación de la enfermedad y la muerte en Un testigo fugaz y disfrazado y Un testigo perenne y delatado
Authors: Suquet Mirta
Published: September 2024

Este artículo examina los poemas de Severo Sarduy de Un testigo fugaz y disfrazado y Un testigo perenne y delatado como textos tanatográficos que exploran la conciencia de la enfermedad y la muerte. Se analizan las reflexiones teóricas de Sarduy sobre la “libertad vigilada” en la poesía, como estrategia de sobrevivencia y estímulo creativo. Un testigo fugaz  utiliza una “tanatografía periférica” que recurre a eufemismos, alegorías y alusiones anamórficas para ocultar el sentido. Además, se exploran las significaciones poéticas y políticas de las prácticas homoeróticas en el contexto de la pandemia de VIH/sida. En Un testigo perenne y delatado, se analiza el cambio de perspectiva del “testigo” frente a la cercanía de la muerte. Estos textos reflejan una transformación reflexiva y emotiva que representa el proceso de duelo del autor.

Digital reading in English for Business Management and Tourism: The importance of micro-skills for the curriculum
Authors: Curado-Fuentes Alejandro Blas
Published: September 2024

An optimal reading performance is key in university degrees, and yet, the research focus on digital academic reading is much smaller than on writing skills (Boulton & Cobb, 2017; Pérez-Paredes, 2019; Curado-Fuentes, 2023). This paper focuses on analyzing learners’ development of digital reading skills in English at university. The study has been conducted as a mixed-methods analysis in two consecutive academic years (2021 and 2022) with first-year students in the double degree of Business Management and Tourism at the University of Extremadura. The two groups used different digital tools along 4-week reading sessions and were tested on their reading comprehension before and after the sessions. Additionally, students answered various questionnaires about the activities. Learners’ use of digital data-driven learning (DDL) techniques was combined with other types of online tools. Some face-to-face interviews with students were also conducted at the end of one course. The results from the tests indicated significant reading comprehension improvements in both years, whereas no significant difference between the two years was found. In the second academic year, the DDL tool was favored much more, in addition to online dictionaries, and students were more open to reading comprehension work. Overall, it is found that the reading of academic texts can be fostered by empowering learners with meta-cognition via specific digital reading micro-skills.
Training in digital and didactic competences for future foreign language teachers: reflecting on the learning process
Authors: Díez-Arcón Paz , Martín-Monje Elena
Published: September 2024

This study explores the evolution in the self-perceived digital and didactic competences of student-teachers completing a course on "Teaching English as a Foreign Language". The main aim of the research was to assess the impact of the integrated practice of these two competences through the completion of specific tasks. The research method chosen was mixed (quantitative and qualitative), and the self-reflection tools used were the SELFIE (Self-reflection on Effective Learning by Fostering the use of Innovative Educational Technologies) for digital competences and EPOSTL (European Portfolio for Student Teachers of Languages) for didactic competences. A total of 244 student-teachers participated in this innovative proposal during the academic year 2021-22. They had to complete collaborative tasks addressing both competences: pre-task video discussions, lesson planning, and post-task video presentations. They made use of MS Office 365 and Teams for their collaborative work. Results show that their perception of digital competence fluctuates but shows an overall improvement, while their perceived progress in didactic competence is more erratic, with a more positive result in the pre-task and in the task, but not in the post-task. This study contributes to gaining a deeper understanding of digital and didactic competence practice in teacher training, underlining the effectiveness of an integrated approach.
Monster in the Archive
Authors: Reid-Pharr Robert F.
Published: September 2024

“Monster in the Archive” asks what the presence of a figure with a massive archival presence like James Baldwin does to our understanding of the presumed “absence” or “lack” of Black subjects in American archives. Paying careful attention to Michel Foucault’s observations about archives in “Lives of Infamous Men” as well as Baldwin’s correspondence with his friend, Mary Painter, this article argues that Baldwin’s “exceptionality” forces scholars and archivists to treat his archival presence as monstrous. Moreover, it argues that we need to develop new methods to approach Black archives. Again, following Foucault, the article proposes that we imagine approaching archives through the lens of friendship suggested by Foucault shortly before his death.
Sedat Pakay’s Photographs of James Baldwin in Istanbul
Authors: Spanel Donald
Published: September 2024

Despite his several long periods of residence in Istanbul, James Baldwin published little about his experiences there. Visual documentation, however, is abundant—much more so than for any other place associated with Baldwin—because of the Turkish-American photographer Sedat Pakay. Although better known for his short film James Baldwin: From Another Place (1973), Pakay also took scores of still photographs of Baldwin. This article draws on the work of Magdalena J. Zaborowska and includes previously unpublished and rarely exhibited works. Selected from Pakay’s extensive archives, these photographs illustrate the comfort and freedom Baldwin found in Istanbul, which led to his most productive period.
“These Things We Sort of Know”: Speech at U.C. Berkeley
Authors: Baldwin James
Published: September 2024

On May 7, 1963, Baldwin appeared at his first major event during a loaded and intense western tour for the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE), a speech at the packed Harmon Gymnasium on the U.C. Berkeley campus. Published estimates measured the crowd to be between 7,000 and 9,000. While he had been a committed member of CORE for years and had toured and appeared on the organization’s behalf, throughout the 1963 West Coast tour Baldwin took on a role and summoned a force quite beyond anything he had been involved in before. This speech allows us to track Baldwin’s shifting sense of engagement while the civil rights movement changed rapidly in multiple directions and as Baldwin’s notoriety grew. The transcription below has been prepared by Ed Pavlić and Justin A. Joyce. Vocal emphasis has been captured with italics. Significant pauses, interruptions, and non-word interjections have been captured in editorial brackets.
James Baldwin’s Psychoanalysis
Authors: Stringer Dorothy
Published: September 2024

Recent scholarship has clarified the centrality of psychoanalytic concepts like desire and the unconscious to James Baldwin’s major fiction and political essays, though it has not yet addressed his notable distaste for talk-based mental health care including clinical psychoanalysis. The writer’s complex position on psychoanalysis both reflected the prestige of clinical psychoanalysis at midcentury, and responded to white colleagues’ racist use of psychoanalytic concepts. His fiction and political essays also participated consequentially in a broader post-Freudian psychoanalytic discourse. Giovanni’s Room (1956) in particular engages significantly with prolific contemporary US analyst Edmund Bergler. Baldwin’s psychoanalysis was an attempt to seize Freudian conceptuality from reactionary, pro-normative institutions, and put it to work for human freedom, one that achieved partial success. Examining the full range of the writer’s psychoanalytic thought, including its contradictions, refines his intellectual biography.
3D directional tuning in the orofacial sensorimotor cortex during natural feeding and drinking

Directional tongue movements are essential for vital behaviors, such as feeding and speech, to position food for chewing and swallowing safely and to position the tongue for accurate sound production. While directional tuning has been well-studied in the arm region of the sensorimotor cortex during reaching tasks, little is known about how 3D tongue direction is encoded in the orofacial region during natural behaviors. Understanding how tongue direction is represented in the brain has important implications for improving rehabilitation for people with orolingual dysfunctions. The goal of this study is to investigate how 3D direction of tongue movement is encoded in the orofacial sensorimotor cortex (OSMCx) during feeding and drinking, and how this process is affected by the loss of oral sensation. Using biplanar video-radiography to track implanted markers in the tongue of behaving non-human primates (
Macaca mulatta
), 3D positional data was recorded simultaneously with spiking activity in primary motor (MIo) and somatosensory (SIo) areas of the orofacial cortex using chronically implanted microelectrode arrays. In some sessions, tasks were preceded by bilateral nerve block injections to the sensory branches of the trigeminal nerve. Modulation to the 3D tongue direction was found in a majority of MIo but not SIo neurons during feeding, while the majority of neurons in both areas were modulated to the direction of tongue protrusion during drinking. Following sensory loss, the proportion of directionally tuned neurons decreased and shifts in the distribution of preferred direction were observed in OSMCx neurons. Overall, we show that 3D directional tuning of MIo and SIo to tongue movements varies with behavioral tasks and availability of sensory information.
Functional characterisation of neuropeptides that act as ligands for both calcitonin-type and pigment-dispersing factor-type receptors in a deuterostome

Published: September 2024

The calcitonin (CT) family of related peptides exert their diverse physiological effects in mammals via two G-protein coupled receptors, CTR and the CTR-like receptor CLR. Analysis of the phylogenetic distribution of CT-type signaling has revealed the occurrence of CT-type peptides and CTR/CLR-type proteins in deuterostome and protostome invertebrates. Furthermore, experimental studies have revealed that in the protostome
Drosophila melanogaster
the CT-like peptide DH
31
can act as a ligand for a CTR/CLR-type receptor and a pigment-dispersing factor (PDF) receptor. Here we investigated the signaling mechanisms and functions of CT-type neuropeptides in a deuterostome invertebrate, the sea cucumber
Apostichopus japonicus
(phylum Echinodermata). In
A. japonicus,
a single gene encodes two CT-type peptides (AjCT1 and AjCT2), both of which act as ligands for a CTR/CLR-type receptor (AjCTR) and two PDF-type receptors (AjPDFR1, AjPDFR2), but with differential activation of downstream cAMP/PKA, Gαq/Ca
2+
/PKC and ERK1/2 signaling pathways. Analysis of the expression of the gene encoding AjCT1 and AjCT2 revealed transcripts in a variety of organ systems, but with highest expression in the circumoral nervous system.
In vitro
pharmacological experiments revealed that AjCT1 and/or AjCT2 cause dose-dependent relaxation of longitudinal body wall muscle and intestine preparations. Furthermore,
in vivo
pharmacological experiments and loss-of-function tests revealed a potential physiological role for AjCT2 signaling in promoting feeding and growth in
A. japonicus
. This is the first study to obtain evidence that CT-type peptides can act as ligands for both CTR/CLR-type and PDF-type receptors in a deuterostome. Furthermore, because of the economic importance of
A. japonicus
as a foodstuff, discovery of the potential role for CT-type peptides as regulators of feeding and growth in this species may provide a basis for practical applications in aquaculture.

The conformational ensemble and function of intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) are sensitive to their solution environment. The inherent malleability of disordered proteins combined with the exposure of their residues accounts for this sensitivity. One context in which IDPs play important roles that is concomitant with massive changes to the intracellular environment is during desiccation (extreme drying). The ability of organisms to survive desiccation has long been linked to the accumulation of high levels of cosolutes such as trehalose or sucrose as well as the enrichment of IDPs, such as late embryogenesis abundant (LEA) proteins or cytoplasmic abundant heat soluble (CAHS) proteins. Despite knowing that IDPs play important roles and are co-enriched alongside endogenous, species-specific cosolutes during desiccation, little is known mechanistically about how IDP-cosolute interactions influence desiccation tolerance. Here, we test the notion that the protective function of desiccation-related IDPs is enhanced through conformational changes induced by endogenous cosolutes. We find that desiccation-related IDPs derived from four different organisms spanning two LEA protein families and the CAHS protein family, synergize best with endogenous cosolutes during drying to promote desiccation protection. Yet the structural parameters of protective IDPs do not correlate with synergy for either CAHS or LEA proteins. We further demonstrate that for CAHS, but not LEA proteins, synergy is related to self-assembly and the formation of a gel. Our results suggest that functional synergy between IDPs and endogenous cosolutes is a convergent desiccation protection strategy seen among different IDP families and organisms, yet, the mechanisms underlying this synergy differ between IDP families.
