Authors: Engel Jannis , Gkavanozi Athina , Veit Maria , Kneer Jonas , Kruger Tillmann H.C. , Sinke Christopher
Published: October 2023

Aim

Compulsive Sexual Behavior Disorder (CSBD) is a new category in ICD-11. Research examining underlying brain mechanisms is sparse. Research into neurobiological differences can be helpful in advancing the possibilities of new diagnostic approaches and therapeutic methods. The present study aimed to examine brain matter volume and resting state functional connectivity (rs-FC) in CSBD.

Methods

Structural and rs-FC magnetic resonance imaging and data from questionnaires were collected in 30 men with CSBD and 32 age- and education-matched controls. Whole brain voxel based morphometry (VBM) and seed based rs-FC in a-priori defined seeds were analyzed.

Results

Structural analyses showed that men with CSBD had significantly increased gray matter volume in the right cerebellum, middle occipital and superior frontal lobe. No differences in rs-FC could be detected when using these brain structures as seed regions in rs-FC. In contrast, literature based rs-FC analysis revealed decreased rs-FC between the right orbital middle frontal cortex (mOFC) and the right gyrus rectus, as well as between left pallidum and right post/precentral gyrus in men with CSBD. In the left amygdala we observed increased rs-FC with precuneus in this group. In addition, most of these measures correlated with symptom severity.

Conclusion

Structural findings may underscore the idea that the cerebellum plays an important role in sexual arousal and CSBD. Perhaps, a simultaneous activation of the left amygdala and the precuneus reflects a constant sexual occupation of men with CSBD. Furthermore, lower connectivity between mOFC and gyrus rectus in CSBD may support the assumption that sexual stimuli are evaluated more positively because inhibition is decreased.

An investigation of sociomathematical norms perceived by students regarding the legitimacy of solutions
Authors: Gülburnu Mehmet , Gürbüz Ramazan
Published: October 2023

With the study reported on here we aimed to determine what learners perceived as normative in the mathematics classroom. For this reason, we focused on negotiation of the problem solutions and we attempted to determine the sociomathematical norms perceived by learners (SNPS). Audio recordings of dialogues among learners, individual reports, and interviews were used as data collection instruments. The research participants were learners in the seventh grade. The study was conducted over a period of 10 weeks covering the second semester of the academic year. Three SNPS (functionality, inclusiveness, connectivity) regarding the legitimacy of the solutions were determined. The determined norms contributed to the understanding of learners’ mathematical preferences, thus bringing more inclusive and complementary understanding about the norms perceived by the learners to the literature. It has been observed that learning opportunities emerging through the negotiation of norms contribute to collective mathematics learning by shaping the interaction among class members. In this context, it was deemed necessary to continue research on norms perceived by learners to create general ideas of mathematics learning and teaching.
Another Recently Recognized Monotypic Genus Is No Longer Monotypic: A Second Species of Pachycaulos (Gesneriaceae) from the Huancabamba Depression in Northern Peru
Authors: Clark John L. , Smith James F. , Moonlight Peter W.
Published: October 2023

Abstract— A new species is described from the Huancabamba Pass, a relict montane forest in northwest Peru, near the southwestern border of Ecuador. Pachycaulos huancabambae J.L.Clark & Moonlight is a terrestrial or lithophytic herb with scandent stems
that grows in dense mats of bryophytes. This is the second species of Pachycaulos and renders that taxon as non-monotypic. We discuss several other genera of Gesneriaceae that are also no longer monotypic because of recent exploratory research in tropical forests and increased taxon
sampling from ongoing phylogenetic studies. A molecular phylogenetic analysis based on nrDNA ITS is presented that strongly supports the monophyly and sister-group relationship of P. huancabambae and P. nummularia. Based on IUCN guidelines, a preliminary conservation status is
assigned as Critically Endangered (CR).
Impressive hydrophobic TiO2@Cu mesh for electromagnetic interference shielding
Authors: Yuan Yongchao , He Yangyang , Shi Shouxin , Wu Degang , Yang Guanda
Published: October 2023

This study investigated the surface modification of copper mesh using modified titanium dioxide (TiO2) coatings to enhance its surface hydrophobic properties while preserving electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding effectiveness. Silicon-coupling-agent-treated titanium dioxide particles were employed to create micro/nanostructured superhydrophobic coatings. The deposition times were found to influence the coating distribution, pore filling and surface hydrophobicity. S-TiO2@Cu mesh with a single layer of modified titanium dioxide coating exhibited the highest water contact angle compared with T-TiO2@Cu mesh with triple layer coatings and the original O-TiO2@Cu mesh. The superior self-cleaning performance and robust wear resistance of the hydrophobic coatings for S-TiO2@Cu mesh were revealed. In addition, both S-TiO2@Cu mesh and T-TiO2@Cu mesh exhibited satisfactory EMI-shielding efficiency without compromising the intrinsic properties of the copper mesh. These findings provide practical insights into surface modification of copper mesh substrates, emphasizing the balance between surface properties and EMI shielding. The hydrophobic coatings hold promise for multifunctional applications, offering enhanced surface properties without compromising EMI-shielding performance.

Published: October 2023

The article discusses the solidification and phase composition of the (wt.%) Mg–4.8Gd–2.1Nd–1.6Y–0.4Zn–0.6Zr (GEWZ522K) casting alloy. It is demonstrated that in the as-cast state, the alloy structure comprises primary zirconium particles, dendrites of the magnesium solid solution (αMg), and eutectic intermetallic phases located between dendritic branches. Following solution heat treatment at t = 530±5 °C, the alloy transitions into a single-phase state and can be significantly strengthened through artificial aging after quenching. It is recommended to apply alloy aging at t = 250 °C for 8–10 h or at t = 200 °C for 15–18 h. This approach leads to the maximum strengthening of the alloy, with the best mechanical properties achieved for the alloy aged at t = 250 °C. Regardless of the aging method used, the ultimate tensile strength (UTS) of the samples surpasses 300 MPa, which significantly exceeds that of commercial casting alloys according to GOST 2856-79. The measured corrosion rate for the GEWZ522K alloy is 7.5±0.4 mm/year, that slightly higher than that for the less alloyed commercial alloy ML10 (approximately 2.5 mm/year) tested under similar conditions. Furthermore, the alloy was subjected to tests for ignition resistance when in contact with air. It was observed that with continuous airflow over the specimen’s surface, ignition centers appear at t = 625 °C due to the breakdown of the oxide film, causing the alloy to nearly completely melt. Therefore, the GEWZ522K alloy can be employed as a high-strength casting alloy. However, during the operation of cast parts, particular attention must be paid to safeguarding the surface of these parts against corrosion.
Optimisation of Almond-Based Dairy-Free Milk Alternative Formulation Fortified with Myrtle, Bay Leaf and Fennel Extracts
Authors: Balbino Sandra , Cvitković Daniela , Skendrović Hanna , Dragović-Uzelac Verica
Published: October 2023

Research background. Herbs and spices used in traditional medicine are nowadays increasingly used in combinations to create functional food formulations aimed at treating specific symptoms and disorders. Among herbs originating from the Mediterranean region, extracts of myrtle (Myrtus communis L.), bay leaf (Laurel nobilis L.) and fennel (Foeniculum vulgare Mill.) are traditionally used for gastrointestinal disorders. When considering how to incorporate these extracts into products, dairy-free milk alternatives provide an excellent base with almond-based drinks being among the most popular within this group.
Experimental approach. The aim of this study is therefore to optimise the formulation of an almond drink fortified with a 25 % (on dry mass basis) aqueous herbal extract containing myrtle, bay leaf (25 % each) and fennel seed (50 %) extracts. A central composite design with 20 formulations varied the content of φ(aqueous herbal extract)=2–6 %, lecithin as emulsifier 0.15–0.45 and xylitol as sweetener 2–5 % (m/V), while antioxidant activity, total phenolic content and sensory properties were determined as dependent variables.
Results and conclusions. The antioxidant activity and total phenolic content of the prepared almond drink formulations increased with the amount of added concentrated aqueous herbal extracts, as did the colour, herbal odour and flavour, bitterness and aftertaste. The addition of lecithin resulted in a darker colour and the sweetness was increased by the xylitol content. All formulations had good overall attractiveness, which increased with higher xylitol content.
Novelty and scientific contribution. The current work offers new insights into the optimisation of fortified dairy-free alternatives. The addition of myrtle, bay leaf and fennel seed extracts to almond drink-based formulations resulted in a 12-fold increase in antioxidant activity. Xylitol masks the potential bitterness of the phenolic compounds so that higher amounts of extracts can be added.

ФИЛОСОФИЯ ТРАНСФОРМАЦИИ ТЕЛА В СОВРЕМЕННОЙ КУЛЬТУРЕ
Authors: Волохова Елена Викторовна , Молоканов Александр Александрович
Published: October 2023

Целью исследования является исследование концептуальных основ и практик трансформации человеческой телесности в культуре постмодерна, когда человеческое тело, получив широкие возможности для укрепления здоровья, увеличения физических сил и способностей, роста продолжительности активной, плодотворной жизни, оказалось проблематическим феноменом.

Методологическую базу исследования составляет понятие телесности как способа социокультурного существования биологического тела человека. Каждый конкретно-исторический тип культуры формирует специфические формы человеческой телесности. Базовый культурный код телесности включает в себя систему сложившихся в определенном обществе на определенном этапе его развития социокультурных условий формирования и развития тела человека, а также систему нормативных, аксиологических ценностей и образцов формирования биологического тела человека, норм и идеалов телесности.

Результаты исследования. В современной культуре сложились два направления развития культуры телесности. К позитивному направлению можно отнести физическую культуру как систему практик по развитию, совершенствованию и укреплению физического организма человека. К негативному направлению относятся практики, связанные с искусственными трансформациями физического тела. Выделены три основные особенности современной культуры телесности. Первая особенность состоит в том, что культ физического тела развивается в ущерб духовному развитию личности. Второй особенностью является демонстративное позиционирование телесности, которое связано с переосмыслением статуса физического тела в структуре личностной идентичности. Тело, а не душа становится основным выражением личностной идентичности и индивидуальности. Третьей особенностью современной культуры телесности является виртуализация телесности, развитие практик диджитал-телесности.

Перспективы исследования заключаются в критическом анализе современных дегуманистических практик трансформации естественной, человеческой телесности и их концептуальных оснований. Необходимо противопоставить дегуманистической идеологии трансформации телесности современную гуманистическую философию единства душевного и телесного здоровья.
МЕЖПОКОЛЕНЧЕСКИЙ ДИАЛОГ В РОССИЙСКОМ ОБЩЕСТВЕ КАК АКТУАЛЬНАЯ ПРОБЛЕМА СОЦИАЛЬНО-ФИЛОСОФСКОЙ РЕФЛЕКСИИ
Authors: Денищенко Мария Евгеньевна
Published: October 2023

Цель данной статьи заключается в обосновании актуальности проблемы диалога поколений в условиях современной цифровой реальности для социальной философии с позиций более глубокого проникновения в природу межпоколенческих отношений и их прогнозирования в период смены эпох (доцифровой на цифровую).

Методологические основания базируются на осмыслении и обобщении сложившегося в социально-философском и социологическом поле дискурса в области оценки характера межпоколенческих отношений в современном российском обществе с учетом разнообразия исследовательских позиций, сформировывавшихся по вопросу о наличии/отсутствии конфликта поколений, влияния цифровизации на взаимодействие доцифрового и цифрового поколений.

Результаты исследования. Обосновывается важность более глубокого понимания природы межпоколенческих отношений в цифровую эпоху с позиций кардинальных изменений самой реальности в результате смены эпох, в связи с чем предлагается использовать потенциал феноменологического, экзистенциального подходов, а также концепцию коммуникативно-диалогового пространства как ключевых для объяснения, измерения и разработки перспективных направлений формирования диалоговой культуры межпоколенческих отношений в России.

Перспективы исследования связаны с разработкой методологической модели социально-философского изучения межпоколенческого диалога в границах указанных методологических подходов и ее реализации в рамках изучения жизненных миров разных поколений россиян в контексте реалий их взаимодействия и перспектив сближения в условиях глобальной цифровизации.
СИСТЕМНАЯ МОДЕЛЬ УПРАВЛЕНИЯ ПРОФЕССИОНАЛЬНОЙ МОБИЛЬНОСТЬЮ РОССИЙСКОЙ МОЛОДЕЖИ В ЭПОХУ ГЛОБАЛЬНОЙ ИНФОРМАТИЗАЦИИ
Authors: Мищенко Дмитрий Николаевич
Published: October 2023

Целью исследования является социологическое обоснование системной модели управления профессиональной мобильностью молодежи и определение условий ее реализации в координатах современной российской реальности и вызовов современной эпохи информатизации.

Методологическую базу исследования представляют положения, во‑первых, теории профессиональной колеи об институциональной природе жизненной и профессиональной колеи, а также увеличивающейся значимости факторов внеинституционального порядка, личностного потенциала в условиях вызовов глобальной информационной эпохи и, во‑вторых, рискологического подхода о средовых и деятельностных факторах риска в молодежной среде.

Результаты исследования. Предложена целостная модель управления профессиональной мобильностью молодежи, которая, по сути, представляет собой модель управления системой профессиональной мобильности молодежи с учетом таких структурных элементов данной системы, как этапы, каналы, ресурсы и факторы профессиональной мобильности. Механизм управления этой системой базируется на управлении рисками, включающем две стратегии: профилактику рисков и устранение рисков, а потому субъекты управления профессиональной мобильностью молодежи функционально разделены на тех, за которыми закреплены функции профилактики рисков (институциональное управление) и устранения рисков (внеинституциональное управление или самоуправление).

Перспективу исследования составляет дальнейшая социологическая разработка предложенной управленческой модели и ее эмпирическая верификация с учетом низкой эффективности предпринимаемых на современном этапе мер и усилий в области управления профессиональной мобильностью российской молодежи. Эта управленческая неэффективность объясняется тем, что реализуется управленческая схема по типу борьбы с последствиями рисков профессиональной мобильности, а не с самими рисками.
“The Door You Can Walk Through to Society”: Social Inclusion and Belonging in Vocational Programmes for Immigrants
Authors: Söderlundh Hedda , Heinonen Maria Eklund
Published: October 2023

This article presents a qualitative, empirical study of two educational programmes for immigrants that integrate language instruction and vocational training. In the context of migration, social inclusion is often conceptualised as access to social capital. Proficiency in the national language is considered key for employment and fast integration into working life has become a primary goal in Swedish migration policies. This article examines the two programmes from the perspective of inclusion into an (imagined) future professional community of practice (CoP), focusing specifically on the participants’ possibilities to invest in a professional linguistic repertoire. The article is dedicated to empirical analyses and positive factors, recognising the need for research. Data consists of interviews with students and teachers, observations, and video recordings of course activities. Organisational aspects of the courses, such as the teachers’ backgrounds and the courses’ proximity to future CoPs, as well as relational aspects of the learning environments, are considered essential for the participants’ inclusion in a future professional CoP. Analyses of the programmes’ content demonstrate that participants are assumed to lack context‐specific, vocational knowledge, including professionally related vocabulary. The article contributes to knowledge on how inclusion can be managed in practice in educational settings for adult immigrants and promotes an understanding of how vocationally adapted courses can assist immigrants in becoming members of a future professional CoP.
SOME ISSUES OF SAFETY AND LABOR PROTECTION IN DECISIONS OF THE EUROPEAN COURT OF HUMAN RIGHTS (CRIMINAL PROCEEDINGS)
Authors:   National Academy of Internal Affairs, Kiev, Ukraine, Taran O. V.
Published: October 2023

The article is devoted to issues of occupational safety and health in the decisions of the European Court of Human Rights. The purpose of the article is to study and generalize the practice of the ECtHR, which concerns issues of occupational safety and health, in particular in cases of criminal offenses. The decision of the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) in the cases of Öneryıldız v. Turkey; Vilnes fnd others v. Norway; Brincat and others v. Malta; Budaeva and others v. Russia; Kolyadenko and others v. Russia; Kosmata v.Ukraine, in which Article 2 and Article 8 of the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms (ECHR) are applied to labor relations, in particular offenses that resulted in or risked harm to the life and/or health of employees. The methods of legal regulation of responsibility for offenses that encroach on the human right to safe working conditions in different countries were considered, and it was noted that the Criminal Code of Ukraine chose the most successful approach, which allows distinguishing such criminal offenses from others, for example, against human life and health. The decisions of the ECtHR determined that the positive obligation of the state is to ensure the protection of the right to life from industrial risks; human rights to information about industrial (production) risks; the expediency of criminal proceedings, if the case concerns dangerous types of activity. This should be taken into account by national courts during consideration of relevant cases and by authorized entities during pre-trial investigation.
IMPROVEMENT IN QUALITY OF MANUFACTURING THE LARGE-CALIBER ARTILLERY PROJECTILES (122, 152, 155) FOR GUNS WITH A RIFLED TUBE

An analysis of the technique of manufacturing the large-caliber artillery projectiles (122, 152,155 mm) on modern screw-cutting lathes was carried out taking into account normalized tolerances for metalworking of the projectile components in accordance with international standards in force. It has been established that regardless of the qualifications of the personnel and the use of modern machines in compliance with the requirements of international standards for metalworking, the quality of projectiles from one batch can differ significantly in the value of drift. The reason for the drift of the projectile in the air is the torque of forces arising from the discrepancy in the location of the center of gravity and aerodynamic pressure in reference to the dynamic axis. Since the projectile rotates rapidly in the air, it has been suggested that because of the presence of manufacturing tolerances in metalworking, the center of gravity of the projectile can shift in the transverse plane in reference to the dynamic axis of rotation, and this is the second probable reason which, together with the first one, can affect the kinematics of the flying projectile and drift value. Thus, shocks which deviate the projectile away from the trajectory in space and have a direct impact on the value of drift are exactly caused by the presence and ratio of the forces of two torques caused by a shift in the location of the center of gravity and the center of aerodynamic pressure in reference to the dynamic axis of rotation. To reduce the range of variation (scatter) of drift values, it is proposed to improve the quality control of artillery projectiles by introducing an additional manufacturing operation into the engineering process for calibrating projectiles, and, if necessary, balancing them, by means of the determining parameter in the value of residual disbalance. Both procedures can be carried out on a balancing machine using special manufacturing equipment. Theoretically, projectiles calibrated by the residual disbalance parameter in the same weather conditions of firing will have a reduced range of variation (scatter) of drift values, but it is desirable to check this in practice.

Mine weapons, as one of the most affordable means of destroying personnel and weapons and military equipment, are increasingly used in modern military conflicts, which has brought to the fore the issue of maintaining the combat capabilities of troops (forces) in the conditions of "mine warfare". Due to the aggression of the Russian Federation, Ukraine has become the most explosive contaminated country in the world today. During combat operations, one of the most difficult tasks of supporting the troops is to reconnoiter the area for explosive devices, demine the area and make passages in the enemy minefields during the offensive, and in the absence of such, to perform humanitarian demining. To accomplish these tasks, the organizational and staffing structure of the engineer troops provides for appropriate units equipped with both equipment and hand-held reconnaissance and demining kits. However, the reconnaissance and demining kits are currently outdated, inefficient, and do not meet the requirements for performing this type of task. At the same time, due to the obsolescence and unsatisfactory condition of reconnaissance and mechanization of making passages in minefields, the manual method remains the main one, which is extremely dangerous and leads to personnel losses. Given this state of affairs, namely that the manual method of reconnaissance and demining is the main one, the issue of improving (developing) new manual reconnaissance and demining kits has become acute. During the development (improvement) of RCs, one of the fundamental issues is to determine the significance of their parameters. The article presents a partial methodology for comparative evaluation of the parameters of demining kits using the method of expert assessments. The proposed partial methodologyallows determining the weighting coefficients of certain parameters of demining kits. Based on the theoretical provisions presented in the study, an algorithm for processing the results of the expert survey. Finally, the numerical values of the weighting coefficients of the parameters of demining kits are obtained and the direction of further research is formulated.
MONETARY ALLOWANCE OF MILITARY PERSONNEL OF THE LEADING NATO MEMBER COUNTRIES AND UKRAINE: COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS
Authors:   Military Institute of the Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv Ukraine, Gorodianska L.V.
Published: October 2023

The article provides a comparative analysis of the models of monetary allowance systems for military personnel of the leading NATO member countries and Ukraine for further formation of an effective model of the monetary allowance system for military personnel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The criteria for the selection of a number of leading NATO member countries for a comparative analysis of models of monetary allowance systems for military personnel have been defined and substantiated, namely, the largest total number of armed forces, financial expenditures for the armed forces, and expenditures for defense needs as a percentage of GDP. Based on these criteria, a group of NATO member countries was formed on a continental basis: North America, Great Britain, and Europe. A detailed analysis of NATO countries' defense expenditures as a percentage of GDP in the period before the beginning of the Russo-Ukrainian war and during full-scale Russian armed aggression was carried out. The principles of formation and functional components of the monetary allowance systems of military personnel of the studied NATO member countries are defined and analyzed, the main of which is basic salary, which takes into account the military rank, years of service, and the corresponding payment grade and additional payments. The procedure and amount of monetary allowance for military personnel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the calculation of which depends directly on the serviceman's participation in combat operations and on his performance of combat tasks is given. Based on the conducted analysis, common features were established and a generalized model of monetary allowance systems of the leading NATO member countries and Ukraine was built. It is claimed that such a model can be used as a basis for the development of a perspective system of monetary allowance for military personnel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine according to the scheme "pay for military rank according to the level of responsibility on the position - payment for years of service in a military rank - additional payments and allowances for skills and conditions of service" taking into account the principles of the state-wide labor remuneration system. The study showed that the average salary in the country could be a fundamental indicator in the formation of a new model of the monetary allowance system for military personnel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Diversity in Physio-Chemical Attributes of Milk from Various Cow Breeds in Haryana
Authors: Sharma Himani , Ratish Chandra Mishra
Published: October 2023

This research paper presents a comparative analysis of the physio-chemical properties of milk from four different breeds of cows in Haryana, namely Sahiwal, Tharparkar, Red Sindhi, and Cross-breed. The study aimed to evaluate various parameters including fat content, solid not fat (SNF), total solids, protein content, density, lactose content, titratable acidity, freezing point, pH, and specific gravity. A total of 80 cows, 20 from each breed were selected for the study, and milk samples were collected twice a day, in the morning and evening. The analysis revealed significant differences among the four cow breeds in terms of their milk composition. The Sahiwal breed exhibited the highest fat content (4.71), while the Red Sindhi had the lowest (3.97). Similarly, variations were observed in SNF, total solids, proteins, density, lactose, titratable acidity, freezing point, pH, and specific gravity across the different breeds. The findings of this research contribute to a better understanding of the physio-chemical characteristics of milk from different cow breeds in Haryana. These results can assist in breed selection for improved milk production, processing, and product development. Furthermore, the data obtained can serve as a valuable resource for dairy industry stakeholders, regulatory bodies, and researchers in the field of dairy science and technology. Future studies could explore the relationship between physio-chemical properties and milk yield, as well as investigating the impact of these variations on the processing and quality of dairy products. Additionally, exploring the influence of environmental factors and management practices on milk composition could further enhance our understanding of the subject.

This paper finds out that adding these places and activities enhance the social interactions and in turn establish social Capital.
Achaques de padres e opressão de proprietários

Notável pela inflexão na utilização de narradores em primeira pessoa, Casa velha comporta um apuro estrutural que se conecta à penetrante representação da sociedade brasileira do século XIX. O narrador protagonista alterna o registro de memórias com o discurso indireto livre para expressar a “alegria particular” das suas intenções narrativas, pretensões ideológicas e de ascensão social, enquanto revela a sua subordinação à ordem estabelecida na casa de D. Antônia, uma espécie de metáfora da ordem e dos recalques sociais brasileiros. Exploramos a voz de subordinado como ponto de vista e a intensidade da representação machadiana em diálogo com a história social.
Musa impossível
Authors: Mora Arthur Katrein
Published: October 2023

Amiúde relacionados à geração de poetas boêmios alcunhada “cancioneiro alegre” da época romântica (FRANCHETTI, 1987), Bernardo Guimarães (1825-1884) e Luiz Gama (1830-1882) dispõem, entre si, afinidades poéticas que se manifestam, conforme propomos no presente artigo, não somente nos arranjos formais e temáticos de sua sátira, mas no sentido que ambos conferem à prática poética moderna e seu papel em meio à proeminência estético-cultural do Romantismo no século XIX. Mediante análise do legado devido à sátira latina e gregoriana (HANSEN; MOREIRA, 2013) nos versos de Poesias (1865) e Primeiras trovas burlescas de Getulino (1859), reconhecemos nestas obras os sintomas da visão de mundo romântica, orientada por projeções nostálgico-utópicas, expressas tanto em desencanto melancólico, como em revolta e insubordinação perante as rupturas causadas pelo racionalismo e pelo progresso capitalista (LÖWY; SAYRE, 2015). O manuseio do humor permite aos poetas lamentar a condição impossível da Musa em semelhante contexto, mesmo enquanto troçam a ira desta deidade para com os vates, cuja artificialidade fundamenta novas relações entre a arte e vida, e divertem-se às custas de sua própria Weltanschauung romântica.
(S)em nome do Pai
Authors: De Souza Francisco Renato
Published: October 2023

Este artigo pretende apresentar a relação entre o movimento errante dos narradores da obra de João Gilberto Noll e a sua impossibilidade de manterem um vínculo com a figura paterna. Para tanto, a inviabilidade do narrador em ter um pai ou de ser um pai será analisada neste artigo por meio de duas perspectivas: primeira, a partir do paralelo entre a ruptura de toda e qualquer possibilidade de ascendência e de descendência genealógica e o movimento errante constitutivo das narrativas nollianas. Em seguida, através da possível associação entre a figura de autoridade do Pai e a figura de autoridade do Autor. Como base teórica deste estudo, o pensamento de Maurice Blanchot e de Roland Barthes se farão presentes.
Aproximações temáticas e estruturais em O homem (1887), de Aluísio Azevedo, e O papel de parede amarelo (1892), de Charlotte Perkins Gilman
Authors: Peixoto Mayara , De Freitas Bruna
Published: October 2023

Este artigo tenciona desenvolver uma leitura comparativa quanto aos métodos de composição da personagem feminina na prosa de ficção do fim do século XIX, aproximando dois autores de diferentes contextos: Aluísio Azevedo, brasileiro, vinculado ao naturalismo; e Charlotte Perkins Gilman, estadunidense, ativista pelos direitos das mulheres. Para tanto, valemo-nos do aporte teórico de Candido (2014), de alguns instrumentos da leitura intertextual aqui abordada a partir de Allen (2006) e Riffaterre (1980; 1987), e também do estudo de Ambra et al. (2018) para auxiliar na compreensão da histeria, reconhecida como tópos comum aos textos literários em questão.
poesia escrita/cantada
Authors: Dick André
Published: October 2023

Este artigo pretende abordar o diálogo entre Augusto de Campos e Caetano Veloso, por meio de alguns poemas e determinadas canções, estendendo laços entre os campos da música e da literatura, também sob a influência do acaso de Stéphane Mallarmé, John Cage e Pierre Boulez. Com isso, é possível perceber a importância de estabelecer um elo entre poema e canção para a discussão de como diferentes meios podem se completar, atingindo os objetivos propostos não apenas pela poesia concreta, como também pela poesia contemporânea.

Augusto de Campos
Authors: Silva Rogério Barbosa
Published: October 2023

Nesse artigo, refletimos sobre a poesia de Augusto de Campos a partir da noção de “outra voz”, proposta por Octavio Paz, no sentido de que a poesia de Augusto Campos se insurge tanto pela negação dos acordos, dos valores e das formas do mundo, quanto pela afirmação das linguagens e do potencial inventivo do poema. Pode aí se constituir o poema como essa voz subterrânea que desloca todas as outras, e que é capaz de acenar ao futuro e, ao mesmo tempo, escovar a contrapelo as tradições. Consideramos também a noção de voz na lírica, a partir da leitura de Alfonso Berardinelli sobre Hugo Friederich e T. S. Eliot. Para compor esse cenário de uma recusa que instaura uma voz singular, analisaremos alguns poemas de Não e Outro, refletindo sobre o prisma da apropriação de linguagens distintas e do desdobramento do poema e do livro entre o impresso e o digital.
The exploration of ethnic identity through dance/movement therapy
Authors:   , Shim Minjung , Goodill Sherry W.
Published: October 2023

The purpose of this phenomenological study was to develop an in-depth description of Korean American 1.5- and second-generation young adults’ subjective, lived experiences in two areas: the experience of being 1.5- or second-generation Korean American, and the experience of exploring their ethnic identity—as experienced in a dance/movement therapy workshop structure that incorporates traditional Korean dance/movement forms. Growing up as children of immigrants, the 1.5- and second-generation Asian Americans often experience ambiguity, uncertainty, and tension about their ethnic identity. And this in-between existence causes isolation, alienation, anxiety, vulnerability and identity crises. Dance/movement therapy offers Asian American individuals an opportunity to experience their two different cultural identities and help them integrate those experiences through self-exploration and expression at a bodily level. For the present study, a dance/movement therapy workshop was designed to encourage self-searching and self-expression through creating movements and experiencing Korean traditional dance/movement. Six Korean American young adults participated in the study. Their subject experiences were collected through in-depth interviews and analyzed by phenomenological method. The findings about being a 1.5- or second-generation Korean American experience include: feelings of not belonging to any specific identification; a sense of isolation associated with their ethnic identity; a sense of pride about Korean heritage and their Korean American identity; and bicultural awareness. Exploring ethnic identity through a dance/movement therapy structure workshop incorporating Korean traditional dance/movement forms allowed this population to search deeper within themselves; yielded positive emotional, cognitive gains; helped them to get in touch with the Korean culture. It is seen to be potentially beneficial as an intervention for people who are struggling for ethnic identity.

Cumhuriyet’in kurulması ile birlikte çoğu alanda olduğu gibi sağlık alanında da bireylerin iyilik halinin sağlanmasına yönelik yenilikçi politikaların izlendiği görülmektedir. Bu politikalar; sağlık yönetimi, sağlık mevzuatı, sağlık kurumlarının yapılanması, sağlık ekonomisi ve finansmanı, sağlık hizmetleri sunumu, sağlık insan gücü, halk sağlığı ve sağlık endüstrisi gibi birçok alanı kapsamaktadır. Derleme niteliğinde olan bu çalışma kapsamında, Cumhuriyet’in yüz yıllık döneminde sağlık politikalarının genel olarak değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Bu amaç doğrultusunda, Cumhuriyet dönemi sağlık politikaları 1920-1938, 1938-1960, 1961-1980, 1980-2000 ve 2000 ve sonrası olmak üzere beş dönemde ele alınmıştır. 2000 ve sonrası dönem, önemli kırılım noktaları olan Sağlıkta Dönüşüm Programı, Dijitalleşme, Sığınmacı Göçü ve Pandemi olarak dört ayrı alt başlıkta incelenmiştir. Türkiye sağlık politikalarının toplumun sağlık ve refahını geliştirmeyi amaçladığı ve dünyadaki eğilimlerden ve Türkiye’de meydana gelen güncel gelişmelerden etkilendiği düşünülmektedir.
Türkiye’de Sosyal Bilimlerde Yöntem Sorunları:1930-2000 Arasında Yazılmış Araştırma Yöntemleri Kitaplarının Eleştirel Bir İncelemesi
Authors: COŞKUN Recai
Published: October 2023

Çalışma Türkiye’de sosyal bilimlerde yöntem olgusunun gelişimi ve işleyişini ve alanda görülen sorunları ele almaktadır. Nitel belge çözümleme deseni ile incelenen 34 kitapta gözlenen başlıca sorunlar şunlardır: Kitapların başlıkları içeriği yansıtmakta yetersiz kalmıştır. Kitaplarda çok sayıda kavramsal tutarsızlıklar gözlenmiştir. Kitap yazarlarından bilimsel yönteme ama özellikle bilim felsefesine özel ilgi duyanlar azınlıktadır. İdeolojik gerilimin yoğunlaştığı 1970’lerde Türk yazarların yazdığı kitap sayısında artış görülmüş ve bunlar arasında istatistik giderek ağırlık kazanmıştır. 1980’lerden itibaren ise bilim felsefesi ve yöntembilim tartışmalarına yer verilmeye başlanmıştır. Ancak bilimin mahiyetine ilişkin tartışmalar pozitivist kavramlarla sınırlı kaldığı gibi yazarların bu konulardaki açıklamalarında eksiklikler ve çelişkiler görülmüştür. Kitaplarda nadiren monografi ve örnek olaylardan söz edilmiş olsa da bu yıllarda yazılmış herhangi bir nitel yöntem kitabına rastlanmamıştır. Yazarlar bilgi aktarırken sorgulama, eleştirme ve örtük ilişkileri açığa çıkarma bakımından yeterince özenli davranmamıştır. Bundan ötürü ders kitaplarında kavram, tanım ve tekniklere ilişkin hatalar yeniden üretilerek ve yaygınlaştırılarak tekrar diğer yöntem kitaplarına ve bilim camiasına aktarılmıştır. Kalite konusunda mesafe alınmasına karşın ders kitabı yazımında aktarma ve öykünme aşamalarından özgün bilimsel bilgi üretme evresine geçişte zorluklar yaşanmıştır. Çalışmanın bulgu ve önerilerinin bu alanda yeni araştırmaların yürütülmesi için bir zemin oluşturacağı umulmaktadır.

This work presents a statistical study on the captures of meteors from the Southern Delta-Aquariids (SDA) shower. The records were performed by the cameras of the meteor monitoring stations UVP1 and UVP2 of the EXOSS network. The stations are installed in São José dos Campos, SP, at the Astronomy and Space Physics Observatory of the University of Vale do Paraíba (UNIVAP), in cooperation with the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of São Paulo (IFSP). The SDA shower occurs annually from July to August. Meteor records from the years 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020 were analyzed. In 2017, 27 records were obtained between July 12th and August 24th, with peak activity on July 27-28th; in 2018, 12 records between July 18th and August 20th, peaking on the night of July 29-30th; in 2019, 45 meteors were recorded between July 11th and August 13th, peaking on July 27-28th; and in 2020, there were 22 records between July 25th and August 7th, peaking on July 28th, with about a third of the SDA meteors recorded that year. In the four consecutive years, the SDA meteors had an average duration of 0.18 s, 0.23 s, 0.23 s, and 0.21 s; average apparent magnitude of -1.1, -1.2, -0.8 and -1.1 and average linear velocity of 47.1 km/s, 51.4 km/s, 49.0 km/s, and 45.7 km/s, respectively
