Elizabeth Bowen’s Equivocal Modernism
Authors: Battersby Doug
Published: July 2024

Abstract: The equivocal relation to modernist modes of narration exhibited by Elizabeth Bowen’s fiction provides a unique vantage point for revising critical understanding of modernism’s place in the history of the novel. Readings of The Last September (1929), To the North (1933), The House in Paris (1935), and The Death of the Heart (1938) show how these works both exploit stream of consciousness techniques and foreground the aspects of emotional life those techniques are poorly calibrated to capture. This growing skepticism of modernist narration is notably accompanied by freer use of an explicitly philosophizing narrative voice, tacitly justified by the premise that the fullest depiction of a character’s feelings requires a working theory of emotional attachment. Bowen’s fiction ultimately helps us delineate the fundamental affordances—and limitations—of modernist forms for representing affect and emotion.
Inaugural Address
Authors: Shaukat Aziz
Published: July 2024

It is a matter of privilege and pleasure for me to attend this annual Conference of the Pakistan Society of Development Economists. Over the past years this gathering has turned into a regular event providing a unique opportunity to scholars, economists and social scientists to deliberate on issues of national and international significance. The participation of eminent scholars and experts from within and outside the country and the large number of papers on various topics to be presented during its four-day deliberations signify the importance of the Conference and augurs well for its success. I feel that in addition to offering a platform for academic and professional interaction, the Conference can also be used for putting forward specific recommendations that may be considered by the government in formulating its policies. The theme of the Conference, namely “Governance and Development”, is critical and timely. It implies that the issue of governance is not only significant in its own right but also has a direct and close bearing on development issues. Experience in Pakistan and elsewhere shows that neglecting the issue of governance and management has severely impaired economic growth and contributed to social and political malaise. It is a happy coincidence that this theme is also occupying a high position in the agenda of the present Government. You may recall that in his address to the nation on 17th October, the Chief Executive, General Pervez Musharraf, has identified good governance as the pre-requisite to achieving the seven aims and objectives that the government has set before it. This seven point agenda, includes the revival of the economy, restoration of investors’ confidence and ensuring swift and across the board accountability.
Reproductive Tract Infections among Women in Pakistan: An Urban Case Study
Authors: Durr-e- Nayab
Published: July 2024

Reproductive tract infections (RTIs) among women—despite being common and having grave consequences—are not given much attention by policy-makers and health planners. The asymptomatic nature of most infections makes their detection and diagnosis difficult, making laboratory testing the most accurate method of bio-medical diagnosis. The present paper assesses the magnitude and nature of infections as diagnosed through laboratory testing and looks into the variation in magnitude and the nature of RTIs among women with different socio-economic and demographic characteristics. The aetiological rate of infection among women is found to be 24 percent, with the majority of these women testing positive for endogenous infections. Factors significantly increasing the likelihood of having an infection include intrauterine device use or getting a tubectomy, short inter-pregnancy intervals, and lower economic status of women.

Published: July 2024

Female infertility, which results in disruption of the female reproductive function has link to indiscriminate or chronic burning of Mosquito coil (MC) culminating in increased levels of oxidative stress biomarkers. Oils with significant antioxidant effects have shown promising attenuating effects on oxidative stress processes in reproductive function. The study investigates the mitigative role of red-palm oil (RPO) on oxidative and antioxidant activities following exposure to mosquito coil smoke in female Wistar rats. The study employed 60 female rats of 160-200 grams and was randomly place into 5 groups. Group A was exposed to environmental air only, group B received 2ml of red-palm oil only, groups C was exposed to mosquito coil for 2-hours, groups D exposed to 4-hours of mosquito coil smoke and group E was treated with 2 ml of red-palm oil and 4-hours of mosquito coil smoke for 21-days. Data obtained was analysed using Graph pad prism 9.5 using ANOVA followed by post-Hoc Turkey comparison, and alpha was set at p≤0.05. Rats exposed to MC resulted in a significant increase in MDA levels, significant decrease in SOD, CAT, and GSH levels in exposed groups C and D compared to A. Treatment with RPO significantly reduced the levels of MDA in groups B and E as compared to D. Conversely, SOD and GSH showed a significant increase levels following RPO in groups B and E compared to D; and CAT had no significant difference in treatment groups B and E following RPO intake. Thus, the study concludes that RPO has an ameliorative effect by mitigating the effect of lipid peroxidation of MC exposed rats.

Authors: Chinnala Balakrishna  , Shepuri Srinivasulu
Published: July 2024

Space situational awareness (SSA) system requires detection of space objects that are varied in sizes, shapes, and types. The space images are difficult because of various factors such as illumination and noise and as a result make the recognition task complex. Image fusion is an important area in image processing for a variety of applications including RGB-D sensor fusion, remote sensing, medical diagnostics, and infrared and visible image fusion. In recent times, various image fusion algorithms have been developed and they showed a superior performance to explore more information that is not available in single images. In this paper I compared various methods of RGB and Depth image fusion for space object classification task. The experiments were carried out, and the performance was evaluated using fusion performance metrics. It was found that the guided filter context enhancement (GFCE) outperformed other image fusion methods in terms of average gradient, spatial frequency, and entropy. Additionally, due to its ability to balance between good performance and inference speed, GFCE was selected for RGB and Depth image fusion stage before feature extraction and classification stage. The outcome of fusion method is merged images that were used to train a deep assembly of CoAtNets to classify space objects into ten categories. The deep ensemble learning methods including bagging, boosting, and stacking were trained and evaluated for classification purposes. It was found that combination of fusion and stacking was able to improve classification accuracy.

Lipid droplets in cancer: A review of their implications for tumor biology and treatment
Authors: Kelly Osayi Otakhor  , Elizabeth O. Soladoye
Published: July 2024

Lipid droplets (LDs) are intracellular organelles traditionally known for their role in lipid storage and energy homeostasis. Recent research has unveiled their significant involvement in cancer biology, revealing them as dynamic structures that contribute to various aspects of tumor development and progression. This review delves into the multifaceted roles of LDs in cancer, highlighting their implications for tumor biology and potential therapeutic strategies. LDs are increasingly recognised for their ability to modulate cellular metabolism, signaling pathways, and stress responses in cancer cells. Their accumulation is often observed in various tumor types, correlating with aggressive phenotypes and poor prognosis. LDs support rapid cell proliferation by providing essential lipids for membrane synthesis and energy production, enabling cancer cells to thrive under metabolic stress. Furthermore, LDs serve as hubs for lipid signaling molecules, influencing key oncogenic pathways such as the PI3K/Akt/mTOR and Wnt/β-catenin pathways, thereby promoting tumorigenesis and metastasis. Beyond their metabolic functions, LDs contribute to the oxidative stress response and lipid peroxidation, mechanisms that can either facilitate cancer cell survival or lead to cell death, depending on the context. The dual role of LDs in regulating reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels underscores their complexity in cancer biology. Importantly, LDs have emerged as potential targets for cancer therapy. Strategies to disrupt LD formation, enhance lipid catabolism, or modulate lipid signaling are being explored to impair tumor growth and sensitize cancer cells to treatment. Pharmacological agents targeting LD-associated proteins, such as perilipins and diacylglycerol acyltransferase (DGAT) inhibitors, are showing promise in preclinical models. LDs play a critical and versatile role in cancer biology, influencing tumor metabolism, signaling, and stress responses. Understanding the intricate functions of LDs in cancer can pave the way for novel therapeutic approaches, offering hope for more effective treatments in oncology. This review underscores the need for further research to fully elucidate the therapeutic potential of targeting LDs in cancer.

Published: July 2024

The objective of this work was to measure the physical damage and impact on production caused by freezing temperatures that occurred in January 2023 on the maize crop in the Yaqui Valley, Sonora, Mexico. Field trips were carried out to monitor the damage in 134 commercial fields which represented 5,256 hectares. The damage estimate was accounted for by visual inspection, calculating the percentage of green area affected by the freezing temperatures multiplied by the population damaged; also, the percentage of foliar damage and the sowing date were correlated with grain yield. Eighteen fields sown with different maize hybrids on different dates, and with different percentage of damage, were selected to evaluate the weather effect, by harvesting six random samples 1 m2. The number of ears per plant were counted considering the complete and incomplete ones, and the grain weight was standardized to 12 % humidity. The estimated average foliar damage in the total area monitored was 30.24 %. The lowest damage was related to the irrigation applied before the freezing temperatures occurred, while the greatest damage in fields sown early, was related to the phenological stages 9th to the 11th ligulated leaves. The interaction between foliar damage and grain yield indicated that for every 1 % damage, yield was reduced by 0.0228 t ha-1 and the average production of the fields by 1.85 t ha-1, while for late sowing, grain yield was reduced by 0.0638 t ha-1 per day of delay, and the average production of the fields by 1.53 t ha-1.

Evidenciou-se um grande desafio: tanto manter a presença como a participação ativa e colaborativa entre os alunos nas aulas virtuais, baseadas em atividades remotas. Identificou-se uma significativa evasão escolar, ademais, tem se demonstrado pouca adesão por parte dos alunos nas atuais propostas de atividades pedagógicas. Tem-se como hipótese que adoção da abordagem da Aprendizagem Colaborativa possa engajar a participação dos alunos, para tanto, investiga-se como utilizar a Aprendizagem Colaborativa de forma que possa contribuir no engajamento dos alunos, propiciando o desenvolvimento das habilidades de comunicação, do senso crítico, lógico e analítico, na aprimoração das habilidades de compreensão e interpretação de diferentes gêneros textuais, a partir de pontos de vista diferentes.
Gestão escolar participativa: caminhos para participação das famílias
Authors: De Lima Leiliane dos Santos , De Oliveira Sonia Maria Borges
Published: July 2024

Artigo que aborda a participação das famílias na escola e, considerando a concepção da gestão democrática, questiona quais ações a escola pública tem traçado para viabilizar a participação das famílias no contexto escolar e se essas ações atendem a perspectiva da gestão participativa. O objetivo é analisar a perspectiva teórica das ações de gestão voltadas para a participação da família no contexto escolar, viabilizadas em uma escola pública da Rede Estadual/MS, uma vez que a Lei de Diretrizes e Bases da Educação Nacional - LDBEN/1996 - prevê a gestão democrática para as escolas públicas e coloca as formas de participação dos segmentos escolares. Para tanto, fez-se uma pesquisa de abordagem qualitativa com pesquisa bibliográfica e de campo. A fundamentação teórica e legal conta com as produções de Nogueira (2006), Paro (2000), Sá (2001; 2002), Lück (2006) e Libâneo, Toschi e Oliveira (2011) e a Lei de Diretrizes e Bases da Educação Nacional (LDBEN). Para pesquisar as ações realizadas no cotidiano escolar, delimitou-se uma escola pública da rede estadual de ensino, localizada no munícipio de Deodápolis-MS, na qual foi realizada entrevista semiestruturada com a direção da escola. O estudo permitiu perceber que a participação dos pais na escola é de suma importância, mas que nem sempre essa participação acontece como deveria. Os dados da entrevista demonstraram que, apesar das definições dos teóricos a respeito de uma gestão voltada para participação de todos, não é possível, ainda, conceituar as ações desenvolvidas na escola como sendo participativa, já que muitas ações realizadas não contribuem para que a participação se realize. Nessa perspectiva os gestores, juntamente com os envolvidos no ambiente escolar, precisam avançar nos caminhos que viabilizem a participação das famílias, capaz de construir a gestão, de fato, democrática.

Published: July 2024

Este relato aborda a trajetória de docentes de uma instituição de Educação a Distância no Ceará, explorando os desafios enfrentados e os avanços conquistados nesse contexto. Para tanto, tem-se como objetivo relatar os desafios e Oportunidades da Educação a Distância no Ceará, por meio de experiência vivenciadas por docentes de Instituição Superior nesta modalidade de ensino. Inicialmente, a EAD enfrentou estigmas e desvalorização, sendo percebida como uma alternativa de qualidade inferior em comparação ao ensino presencial. A instituição, com mais de 100 polos distribuídos nacional e internacionalmente, enfrentou obstáculos logísticos, culturais e tecnológicos, mas manteve seu compromisso com a excelência educacional. A superação dessas barreiras foi alcançada por meio de estratégias proativas, incluindo formação contínua para professores e equipes administrativas, partilha de experiências entre polos e investimento em recursos humanos. Essas abordagens permitiram o desenvolvimento de metodologias inovadoras de ensino, bem como a construção de uma comunidade educacional coesa e colaborativa. Embora progressos significativos tenham sido alcançados, persistem desafios, como a necessidade de combater preconceitos enraizados e garantir acesso igualitário a recursos tecnológicos. A promoção de interação eficaz no ambiente virtual e a garantia de avaliações autênticas também permanecem como metas. A formação continuada emergiu como o investimento mais valioso, impulsionando a capacitação de docentes e o aprimoramento constante das práticas pedagógicas. Através da busca incansável pela excelência, a instituição reafirma seu compromisso com a qualidade e acessibilidade do ensino, vislumbrando um futuro no qual a EAD continue a transcender barreiras e a promover uma educação inclusiva e enriquecedora.
Mapeamento de índices de erosão pela cobertura da terra na microbacia do Ribeirão Guaiuvira em Pompeia - SP
Authors: Francisco Alyson Bueno
Published: July 2024

A erosão de solos tornou-se um problema na região de Marília, interior de São Paulo, devida alta suscetibilidade das condições geomorfológicas e formas de uso e ocupação do solo. A microbacia do Ribeirão Guaiuvira está localizada na bacia do Rio do Peixe, uma das mais afetadas com os processos erosivos no Estado de São Paulo, ocorrendo a necessidade de elaboração de bases cartográficas para diagnosticar as áreas degradadas e apontar formas de disciplinar a ocupação do solo na escala municipal. Para a geração da carta de índice erosivo da microbacia hidrográfica, foram analisados os dados de cobertura da terra a partir da classificação supervisionada no sistema de informação geográfica QGIS, com imagens do satélite Landsat 7. O produto da análise espacial realizada em ambiente SIG foi uma carta de índice erosivo a partir dos fatores de erosão atribuídos a cada classe de cobertura da terra na microbacia do Ribeirão Guaiuvira. Foi constatado que maior índice erosivo ocorre nas áreas de solo exposto e pastagens degradadas com declividades médias nas vertentes, cujas áreas de declividades mais acentuadas estão protegidas por reflorestamentos.

Globalization and sustainable development: a return to Milton Santos’ fable
Authors: Schubert Marcus Vinicius Porcaro Nunes
Published: July 2024

The SDG (Sustainable Development Goals) were crated following the same logic of the Millenium Development Goals, but changing its emphasis and adding more substance to its core concepts. Unfortunately, current ways of production and the complexity of international society, along with the evolution of the idea of globalization combine to suggest that some of these objectives are presented in an contradictory way, and lack both a more incisive approach in order to be enforceable, while also ignore methods of production and state dependance of market structures. With this in mind, this work will address the idea of globalization in Milton Santos’ “Toward an Other Globalization”, while presenting the main discourse which is addressed in the Sustainable Development Goals.
O clima internacional como um direito humano e fundamental na Era do Antropoceno
Authors: Leves Aline Michele Pedron , Stoll Sabrina Lehnen , Souza Carina Lopes de
Published: July 2024

O presente artigo aborda a temática das mudanças climáticas em âmbito internacional. O problema que orienta o processo de pesquisa desenvolvido pode ser sintetizado a partir do seguinte questionamento: como promover e proteger o direito humano e fundamental a um sistema climático equilibrado na Era do Antropoceno? Com base nos dados levantados a partir de um conjunto de pesquisas realizadas sobre o tema na área do Direito e da Sociologia, refletidas na bibliografia que dá amparo ao presente estudo, torna-se possível afirmar que a concretização do direito humano e fundamental a um sistema climático equilibrado na Era do Antropoceno pressupõe uma metamorfose na forma como o indivíduo se relaciona com a natureza. Especificamente, os objetivos da pesquisa, que se refletem na sua estrutura em duas seções, são: a) apresentar o fenômeno das mudanças climáticas na Era do Antropoceno; e b) discutir a necessidade premente de concretização do direito humano e fundamental a um sistema climático equilibrado a partir de um diálogo amplo e inclusivo. Para conduzir a investigação emprega-se o método científico hipotético-dedutivo, o método de procedimento monográfico e, por fim, utiliza-se como técnica de pesquisa a documentação indireta.
Educação anticapacitista em Direitos Humanos: um horizonte ético-político?
Authors: Melo Douglas Christian Ferrari de , Silva João Henrique da
Published: July 2024

Trata-se de um ensaio teórico que objetiva refletir sobre a educação anticapacitista na educação em direitos humanos como um compromisso ético-político. Consiste numa pesquisa bibliográfica, de natureza teórica, amparada em perspectivas críticas do Direito, da Filosofia e Sociologia. As reflexões evidenciam que o direito fundamental à educação é resultado de uma luta histórica e política. No caso das pessoas com deficiência no Brasil há uma disputa de hegemonia no campo da educação especial, com o exercício da direção e domínio das instituições privadas-assistenciais. O capacitismo permeia todos os espaços, excluindo as pessoas com deficiência do direito à educação, à cidadania e à dignidade humana. Conclui-se que a educação anticapacitista na educação em direitos humanos é um horizonte ético-político a ser percorrido por todos que visem à igualdade e participação plena das pessoas com deficiência nos processos sociais e escolares.
