Published: July 2021

When hearing the term veil, it seems to be attached to the identity of Muslim women who incidentally become a cover for their genitals. There is controversy that arises in the community, sticking to the term veil. Women, veils and the media seem to have a connection with each other that forms the identity of veiled women. But in this article, the researcher revealed another interesting thing about a women's community that carries positive activities, called the "Muslim Muslim Community" (KMB) in Indonesia. As the name implies, this community is an association of Muslim women who use veils to cover their nakedness in their appearance. Researchers want to describe the existence of veiled women who are shown through an Instagram account @ komunitasmuslimahbercadar. Researchers use virtual ethnographic research methods because they observe this community in their Instagram accounts, @komunitasmuslimahbercadar. The data collection techniques used were participant observation, interviews, and documentation. The findings in this study indicate that veiled women who are members of the veiled Muslim community show as a community that upholds the value of humanism and anti-terrorism and has a variety of positive movements and actions. The movement included the action of raising funds, sharing free ta'jil, the message of da'wah in the form of cartoon animation aimed at educating the public about veiled women, the KMB movement were containing discussions on Islamic studies in several regions in Indonesia.

Corporate Governance, Profitability, Media Exposure, and Firm Value: the Mediation Role of Environmental Disclosure
Authors: Kurniansyah Firdaus , Saraswati Erwin , Rahman Aulia Fuad
Published: July 2021

This study aims to examine and analyze environmental disclosure's effect in mediating the relationship between corporate governance, profitability, and media exposure towards firm value. Total 135 samples of companies that have been listed on IDX in 2015 - 2019 were obtained and analyzed using multiple linear regression. This study showed that corporate governance and profitability increase firm value as investors tend to see corporate governance and profitability as a signal in determining investing decisions. Meanwhile, media exposure and environmental disclosure cannot increase firm value. This study also finds that corporate governance decreases ecological disclosure. Meanwhile, profitability and media exposure cannot increase firm value. Thus, this study also proves that corporate governance, profitability, and media exposure cannot increase firm value through environmental disclosure.

Published: July 2021

This paper has the ambition to examine the work-life balance (WLB) standards applied by the Limited Company of Bank Central Asia (PT BCA) Samarinda branch and their impact on employee loyalty, job performance, and turnover intentions. Our targets for employees who work in customer services (CS). We collected the data through survey techniques, where the size of the informants was 340 samples. Multiple regression analysis indicates that the WLB policy has affected employee loyalty, turnover intentions, and job performance. Employee loyalty also plays an important role in job performance and turnover intentions. Meanwhile, job performance has a significant effect on preventing turnover intentions. The fundamental difference to this finding lies in the escalation in the causality of the variables and is worth developing.

Dinâmicas urbanas endocoloniais: Luanda em Predadores, de Pepetela
Authors: Fazzini Luca
Published: July 2021

Em Predadores, romance publicado em 2005, o escritor Pepetela, ao encenar as práticas cotidianas da elite financeira angolana, propõe uma reflexão sobre o pós-independência do país destacando as continuidades das dinâmicas do poder, apesar das mudanças radicais que Angola sofreu nas últimas décadas, tanto no plano político como no econômico. Através da leitura crítica do romance mencionado e de uma mais ampla discussão sobre a construção ocidental do espaço colonial como espaço do impolítico, estritamente vinculado às demandas do capital, o presente artigo pretende investigar as continuidades na organização e nas práticas do poder na cidade de Luanda, destacando a persistência das lógicas coloniais no pós-independência. Tais persistências e continuidades, conjugadas à ação transnacional do capital, tornariam adequada a noção de endocolonialismo, para pensar a organização do poder na contemporaneidade angolana.

Una generación olvidada de periodistas en la memoria del siglo XX: Manuel García Santos, vida y obra entre dos orillas
Authors: López Romero Laura , Coello Ugalde José Francisco
Published: July 2021

La huella periodística de Manuel García Santos fue longeva, pasional y con un verdadero afán por la supervivencia. Nacido en Jerez de la Frontera, provincia de Cádiz, y de profesión maestro, su afición por las letras lo encaminaron pronto al oficio al que dedicaría toda su vida, hasta su vejez: el periodismo. Aunque gozó de una trayectoria profesional larga y fecunda, la historia le tenía reservado, como a otros tantos periodistas, grandes obstáculos. Primero la guerra civil española, después, una dura posguerra y, por último, un exilio.

Este artículo rescata de la memoria colectiva la vida de un profesional de las letras que trabajó con pasión una de sus mayores aficiones, la crítica taurina. Dos fueron los países que pudieron disfrutar de su pluma: España en sus comienzos, y México en su etapa madura y vejez.

La vida de Manuel García Santos es parte del reflejo de tantos periodistas que sufrieron la represión durante la guerra civil española, pero en su caso con la fortuna de poder crear nuevos caminos que le permitieron reconstruir su oficio más querido, el periodismo, hasta su fallecimiento en México.
Creación de una plantilla de redacción de contratos de compraventa de viviendas. Un estudio aplicado a Irlanda
Authors: Arce Romeral Lorena , Seghiri Míriam
Published: July 2021

De acuerdo con el Instituto Nacional de Estadística (INE, 2018), actualmente 9.653 españoles residen en Irlanda, muchos de los cuales no sería de extrañar que acaben estableciéndose y adquiriendo su propia vivienda. Por su parte, según datos de la Organización Mundial del Turismo (OMT), España fue el segundo país más visitado en el 2018 y el turismo irlandés representó el 25 % del total, de los que 15 119 decidieron afincarse en el país (INE, 2018). Estas tendencias en el sector turístico provocan un auge en el sector inmobiliario residencial entre España e Irlanda, lo que a su vez genera una creciente demanda de traducción al inglés de contratos de compraventa. Dada su estructura recurrente y estereotipada, el objetivo del estudio es la implementación de una plantilla de contratos de compraventa de viviendas que semiautomatice el proceso de redacción en inglés (variedad irlandesa). Para ello, puesto que los corpus lingüísticos constituyen fuentes muy valiosas de información en cuanto que macro- y microfuente documental (Corpas, 2008), nos basaremos en la gestión de un corpus representativo y de calidad de contratos de compraventa de viviendas en inglés (variedad irlandesa).

Investigation of the effects of household processing on the reduction rate of chlorpyrifos, metalaxyl and diazinon residues in orange fruit
Authors: El-Sayed E. , Hassan H. , El-Raouf A. Abd , Salman S.N.
Published: July 2021

The effect of the household processing on the reduction rate of chlorpyrifos, metalaxyl and diazinon residues in contaminated oranges has been investigated and the processing factors were determined. The evaluation included validation parameters, matrix effect (ME %), reduction behavior and processing factors (PFs). Validation parameters were successfully applied; the three pesticides showed satisfactory recovery (70–120%) and precision (relative standard deviation - RSD<20%); they also exhibited no matrix effect. The most effective process in the pesticide residues reduction was juicing, followed by pulping while the washing process was less efficient in removing all pesticide residues; sonication showed a high reduction rate with both chlorpyrifos and diazinon. The processing factors (PFs) were generally less than one which indicates that all processes can reduce pesticide residues in oranges. The results could guide the safe and reasonable use of chlorpyrifos, diazinon, and metalaxyl. These processes contribute substantially to reduce consumer exposure to pesticide residues in oranges.

Emission of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in plants is triggered by several biotic and abiotic factors, such as nutrient deficiency, environmental stress, and pathogenic attacks. For instance, plants suffering from limited or excessive nitrogen (N) supply may experience internal stress which can ultimately lower their stability and immunity making them susceptible to infection and infestation. In this study, VOCs from Capsicum annuum var. longum (Solanaceae) exposed to nitrogen (1.8 g/L, 4.5 g/L, and 9 g/L urea) were extracted using a 100 μm Solid Phase Microextraction (SPME) fiber coated with polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS). Using Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS), extracted VOCs from N-treated plants were identified as Butanoic acid, 3-hexenyl ester, (E)-; Butanoic acid, hexyl ester; Hexanoic acid, 3-hexenyl ester, (Z)-; Hexanoic acid, 4-hexen-1-yl ester; cis-3-Hexenyl cis-3-hexenoate and 4-Pentenoic acid 2-methyl-, hexyl ester. Among these volatiles, butanoic acid, 3-hexenyl ester showed the most distinctive peak from the N-treated plants in comparison with the untreated. In addition, the Green Leaf Volatiles (GLV) 3-Hexenal; 2-Hexenal; 3-Hexen-1-ol, (Z)-; 2-Hexen-1-ol, (E) and 1-Hexanol were also detected from the N-treated plants. The identification of plant volatiles provides useful information that can be used in agricultural practices and plant phenotyping.

Authors: Veledar Benina , Bašić Meliha
Published: July 2021

The field of business ethics has received considerable attention from the corporate, academic, and public sectors over the past several decades. A key purpose of this paper is to examine existing research and knowledge creation in the field of business ethics. The paper includes systematic literature review using bibliomteric analysis which covers 50 articles, published in 11 peer-reviewed journals from 1994 to 2019, examining the methodological and theoretical approaches, as well as the main research focus areas. We found significant amount of studies concerning business ethics appeared mostly in business ethics journals. We identified seven areas of research covered by numerous authors in the observed period, of which three predominate: corporate culture; education; and national (cultural) approach to business ethics.
Occurrence of Cephenemyia stimulator larvae in male roe deer (Capreolus capreolus L.) in the Lublin Upland, Poland, and their impact on particular animal health indicators
Authors: Flis Marian , Rataj Bogusław , Grela Eugeniusz R.
Published: July 2021

Introduction

The aim of the study was to carry out epizootic assessment of male roe deer to detect the presence of Cephenemyia stimulator larvae and determine the influence of the parasite on the carcass and antler weight in animals living in different habitats.

Material and Methods

The investigations were based on post-mortem analysis of Cephenemyia stimulator infestations of the nasal passages and throat of 177 male roe deer culled between May 11 and September 30, 2020 in hunting districts of the Lublin region in Poland. The individual quality of the animals was assessed by weighing the gutted carcasses after cooling, and the antlers were weighed after dissection and their total weight was determined.

Results

The parasite prevalence ranged from18 to 48% according to habitat type, with a mean value of 33%. The highest prevalence was detected in bucks living in grassland ecosystems. The presence of the parasites exerted influence on the individual condition of the animals, which was reflected in reduced carcass and antler weight. The differences were found both in young individuals and in somatically fully developed animals, but they were not statistically significant in all age groups.

Conclusion

Although the parasitic infestations impaired the individual condition traits, their parametric values in most cases were not lower than those reported from other regions of Poland. Despite the Cephenemyia stimulator infestation, male roe deer from the Lublin region are characterised by high carcass and antler weight.
New insights into the prevalence and phylogenetic diversity of Cysticercus ovis isolates in sheep from Sulaymaniyah, Iraq
Authors: Ahmad Mohammed Aram
Published: July 2021

Introduction

Although ovine cysticercosis is not a zoonotic problem, it results in substantial economic losses due to the condemnation of infected tissues or entire carcasses. This study aimed to record preliminary data on the prevalence, and phylogenetic diversity of Cysticercus ovis isolates from slaughtered sheep in the province of Sulaymaniyah, Iraq.

Material and Methods

From January to September 2020, 6, 411 slaughtered sheep were examined for C. ovis by routine meat inspection. The amplification and sequence analysis of the COX1 gene for up to 35 specimens of C. ovis was performed using conventional PCR.

Results

The overall prevalence rate was 1.3%, and the prevalence was significantly higher in older sheep (>1 year) than younger ones (<1 year) (P< 0.05). The cardiac muscle showed a higher tendency to carry C. ovis infection compared to other examined muscles. Sequence analysis of the COX1 gene revealed six haplotypes, and the level of pairwise nucleotide diversity between individual haplotypes was 1–2%. Five out of six of the Taenia ovis haplotypes recovered could have been recorded for the first time globally. Phylogenetic interpretation indicated that all the T. ovis haplotypes clustered in a single clade, and it also indicated an extremely close similarity to Iranian and New Zealand isolates.

Conclusions

Globally, this report adds new data on C. ovis genetic diversity, which provide an extremely useful molecular background with regard to future preventive as well as control strategies.
Acrylamide-induced changes of granulopoiesis in porcine bone marrow
Authors: Grzybowska Dominika , Snarska Anna
Published: July 2021

Introduction

Due to the widely documented and diverse toxic effects of acrylamide, the authors decided to evaluate the impact of high and low doses of this compound on the process of granulopoiesis in porcine bone marrow.

Material and Methods

The experiment was conducted on 15 Danish Landrace pigs at the age of 8 weeks. The animals were randomly assigned into three equal groups (n = 5). Control animals received empty gelatine capsules as placebo. Animals in the first experimental group (the LD group) received a low dose of acrylamide of 0.5 μg/kg b.w./day, and animals in the second experimental group (the HD group) received a tenfold higher dose of acrylamide of 5 μg/kg b.w./day. Placebo and acrylamide capsules were administered with feed every morning for 28 days. Bone marrow was collected into tubes without an anticoagulant twice – before the first capsule administration (day 0) and on the 28th day of the study. After drying and staining, bone marrow smears were subjected to detailed cytological evaluation under a light microscope.

Results

Changes in cell morphology, i.e. degenerative changes in the cellular nuclei, were observed in both experimental groups. Both low and high doses of acrylamide decreased the number of segmented eosinophils, neutrophilic and segmented metamyelocytes, neutrophils, as well as basophils and basophilic metamyelocytes.

Conclusion

Acrylamide at doses of 0.5 μg/kg b.w./day and 5 μg/kg b.w./day clearly influences porcine granulopoiesis.
Porcine enteric coronavirus infections in wild boar in Poland – a pilot study
Authors: Antas Marta , Olech Monika , Szczotka-Bochniarz Anna
Published: July 2021

Introduction

Porcine epidemic diarrhoea virus (PEDV) of theCoronaviridaefamily causes significant economic losses in the pig industry worldwide. Wild boars contribute to the transmission of different viral, bacterial and parasitic infections to livestock animals and humans. However, their role in the maintenance and transmission of PEDV has not been established.

Material and Methods

In this study, blood and faecal samples from 157 wild boars were collected from 14 provinces of Poland during the 2017–2018 hunting season. RNA was extracted from the faecal homogenate supernatant and subjected to quantitative RT-PCR (RT-qPCR), while clotted blood samples were used for detection of antibodies against PEDV by ELISA.

Results

Five blood samples (3.2%) were seropositive in ELISA, while none of the faecal samples were found positive using RT-qPCR assays.

Conclusion

The results of this analysis indicate the need for additional studies incorporating a larger number of samples and preferably comparing different serological methods, to confirm whether wild boars in Poland act as PEDV reservoirs.
Corporate social responsibility activities conducted by football clubs playing in the Polish top division – PKO Ekstraklasa
Authors: Wysoczański-Minkowicz Rafał
Published: July 2021

The main goal of this paper is to analyze how football clubs playing in the Polish top division approach the issue of corporate social responsibility (CSR). Professionalization processes in football clubs all over the world have led to the situation in which they are treated as companies and must follow the same rules. The goals of companies from all industries are no longer only about generating financial profits; they also want to meet the expectations of their shareholders, which can be done through CSR activities. Strong social bonds between football clubs and local societies indicate the CSR approach has massive potential for football clubs. The aim of this paper is to describe how PKO Ekstraklasa are approaching the concept of CSR and to answer the following questions: “To what extent were clubs playing in PKO Ekstraklasa during the 2020/2021 season active in the area of CSR? To what groups did they direct their activities?” The analysis was conducted based on data published by clubs on their websites. The results of the analysis show that PKO Ekstraklasa clubs are active in the field of CSR. However, they need to improve significantly in terms of the regularity of their activities and reporting in order to become truly socially responsible.
Tapetum Types and Forms in Angiosperms
Authors: Shamrov Ivan I. , Anisimova Galina M. , Babro Anastasija A.
Published: July 2021

Based on the analysis of literature and our own data, we have suggested a new version of the typification of types and forms of the tapetum. It is proposed to distinguish two types of tapetum: parietal and periplasmodial. Parietal tapetum lines the locule of microsporangium and this position is maintained throughout the development. A periplasmodial tapetum is characterised by the formation of a coenocyte as a result of the fusion of protoplasts, while the cytoplasm and nucleus are located not only between the developing microspores and pollen grains, but also come into contact with the inner layers of the cavity. The differences between tapetum types relate to the peculiarities of structural and temporal reorganisation in anther development. The protoplasts that form after the disappearance of the cell walls (usually at the stage of microspore tetrad, or after their disaggregation), gradually break down (form 1 – typical parietal tapetum), or they form protrusions inside the microsporangium cavity (form 2 – amoeboid tapetum). The protoplasts in the periplasmodial tapetum are formed before or during meiosis. They fuse resulting in a symplast. It is possible to distinguish two forms of periplasmodial tapetum: combining and invasing of protoplasts into the locule of microsporangium (form 1 – typical periplasmodial tapetum), and almost or partly fusion of protoplasts, which do not organise the invasions and maintain the initial position (form 2 – bordering symplast). Data on the diversity and structure of the tapetum, like any other characters, are used to clarify the position of taxa on the phylogenetic tree.
Influence of Macro- and Micro-Element Content on Mycelial Growth of Phoma Sp.1
Authors: Ramanenka Maryna O. , Šķipars Vilnis , Yarmalovich Vasili A.
Published: July 2021

Phoma blight of conifer seedlings is poorly studied. The main causal agent in Belarus differs in DNA sequence from other described Phoma species, and has not been fully taxonomically described, and therefore has been temporarily designated Phoma sp. 1. The basic morphological and growth culture characteristics of Phoma sp. 1 have recently been published. This report provides additional data about the influence of macro- and micro-elements on the growth of Phoma sp. 1 in vitro to complement the description of growth culture and morphological features. It was found that addition of tricalcium phosphate and potassium chloride to the media at concentrations of 1 g/l and 2 g/l slows the mycelial growth by an average of 30%. The micro-elements copper sulphate (at 50 mg/l and 100 mg/l) and zinc sulphate (at 100 mg/l) decreased growth by 50%, 63%, and 32%, respectively. Urea completely inhibited Ph. sp.1 growth at 0.5 g/l. Summarising previously published information, Phoma sp. 1 is a mesophilic acidophile, capable of forming chlamydospores in culture. Pycnidia form deep in the media only after prolonged low-temperature storage. The optimal pH for growth is 4.3–4.9. Constant medium aeration favours the formation of typical mycelium, proportional growth and stable biomass accumulation.
Calculation of One-Electron Wave Functions and Energy Levels of N-Butane Molecule on the Basis of Slater Atomic Orbitals

Published: July 2021

It is known that the application of the group theory greatly simplifies the problems of polyatomic systems possessing to any space symmetry. The symmetry properties of such systems are their most important characteristics. In such systems, the Hamilton operator is invariant under unitary symmetry transformations and rearrangements of identical particles in the coordinate system. This allows to obtain information about the character of one-electron wave functions — molecular orbitals — the considered system, i.e. to symmetrise the original wave functions without solving the Schrödinger equation.

European automotive technological innovation systems in the age of disruption: The suppliers’ view
Authors: Hafner Ana , Modic Dolores
Published: July 2021

Although empirical studies show that suppliers’ innovativeness enhances original equipment manufacturers’ (OEM) total innovation performance, some evidence reveals that suppliers’ innovation affects OEM in quantitatively and qualitatively limited ways. This study aims to explore innovation systems of European automobile producers, i.e., OEM. Technological innovation systems (TIS) remain relatively underexplored, but the approach is especially valuable for explaining why and how sustainable and circular innovation develop and spread. We applied a mixed-method approach and conducted patent analyses and interviews with 20 respondents from Slovenia, Austria, and Hungary, which are representatives of suppliers for the automotive industry and automotive clusters. We confirm that the European OEMs build innovation ecosystems that are more closed than their Asian counterparts. Furthermore, we define three paths of how inventions of suppliers can reach the OEMs, with developmental suppliers (large companies) having the highest probability of influencing the innovation activity of OEMs. The entry of small and medium-sized enterprises (SME) and start-ups with their inventions is difficult. However, it is not impossible, especially if they develop new solutions connected to current disruptive trends in the automotive industry: electric cars, autonomous driving and digitalisation.
“Communism Didn’t Touch My Kids Like Me.” Images of Communism in a Family Perspective
Authors: Schindler-Wisten Petra
Published: July 2021

The target of this study is to introduce one particular life story and on the basis of its content analysis to focus on the narrator’s connection with the period of so-called normalization era in Czechoslovakia. Based on oral history interviews with one narrator during the longitudinal oral history project, the author focuses on whether the memories of a given period change over time and how the narrator reflects on his memories. The author maps the narrator’s family background, the extent to which it shaped him and how he evaluated it as a thirty year old man and now, when he is fifty years old. The core of our narrator’s life story stays the same in principle; he did not change it after twenty years. The reason is that the narrator’s experience and the memories have sunk in and are consistent. What changed in the narrator’s story is the amount of self-reflection that was reflected during the last interview. It was confirmed that shifts in the reflection are a common phenomenon and that some variability may not be conscious. Interpretations and evaluations of life can change, but the experiences themselves do not change.

Published: July 2021

Analysis of the acylcarnitines’ (ACs) is the mainstay for screening for fatty acid oxidation disorders (FAOD). Data about the ACs profile in the dried blood spot samples of healthy newborns in Serbia are not at disposal. Therefore, we determined the ACs levels and established the cut-offs. Between August 2018 and August 2019 a total of 1771 samples had been analysed. Cut-offs, established using a non-parametric approach, were verified in comparison with the worldwide target ranges and the data for several Caucasian populations. The majority of ACs had comparable distribution in Serbian and the worldwide population. In case of discrepancy, the individual alterations had a frequency of less than 10%. Seventeen out of 25 established cutoffs were in the worldwide target range. Reliability of the cut-offs positioning out of the target ranges is not jeopardized, since alterations are negligible or similar findings were reported for other Caucasian populations. The established and verified set of cut-offs can be used in the future screening for carnitine uptake/transport defect, medium-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency, very long-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency, long-chain L-3 hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency, trifunctional protein deficiency, carnitine palmitoyltransferase deficiency Ia and II, as well as carnitine:acylcarnitine translocase deficiency.

La descolonización no es una metáfora
Authors: Tuck Eve , Wayne Yang K.
Published: July 2021

Nuestro objetivo en este artículo es recordarle a los lectores lo inquietante de la descolonización. La descolonización trae consigo la repatriación de la tierra y la vida Indígena; no es una metáfora de otras cosas que queremos hacer para mejorar nuestras sociedades. La fácil adopción del discurso descolonizador evidenciado por el creciente número de llamados a «descolonizar nuestras escuelas», o utilizar «métodos descolonizadores» o «descolonizar el pensamiento», convierte la descolonización en una metáfora. Por importantes que sean sus metas, la justicia social, las metodologías críticas o los enfoques que descentralizan las perspectivas del colonizador tienen objetivos que pueden ser inconmensurables con la descolonización. Debido a que el colonialismo de asentamiento se construye sobre una estructura de tríada enmarañada de colono-nativo-esclavo, los deseos descoloniales de las personas blancas, no blancas, inmigrantes, poscoloniales y oprimidas pueden enredarse de manera similar en el reasentamiento, la reocupación y la reinserción que, en realidad, fomentan el colonialismo de asentamiento. La metaforización de la descolonización hace posible una serie de evasiones, o «movidas de colonos hacia la inocencia», que intentan conciliar de manera problemática la culpa y la complicidad de los colonos, y rescatar el futuro de los colonos. En este artículo, analizamos múltiples movidas de colonos hacia la inocencia con el fin de promover «una ética de inconmensurabilidad» que reconozca lo que es distinto y lo que es soberano para los proyectos de descolonización en relación con los proyectos de justicia social basados ​​en los derechos humanos y civiles. También señalamos temas inquietantes dentro de las descolonizaciones transnacionales / del Tercer Mundo, la abolición y las pedagogías críticas del espacio-lugar, que desafían la coalescencia de los esfuerzos de justicia social, dando lugar a alianzas potenciales más significativas.
Las mujeres zapatistas reconceptualizan su lucha
Authors: Marcos Sylvia
Published: July 2021

Se analizan las re-configuraciones de género emergentes en los discursos de mujeres zapatistas, que provienen de procesos móviles y complejos que revelan concepciones profundamente propias formadas por significados históricos, simbólicos, y epistémicos de enunciaciones como: la paridad-igualdad, la fluidez-dualidad de género, la Tierra Madre benevolente y destructora, el «mandar obedeciendo», la autoridad ejecutora de los acuerdos de la comunidad, el corazón: sede del conocimiento y la organización, la intersubjetividad con la tierra, el entorno y el todo comunal. Son caminos propios arraigados en reconfiguraciones de legados mesoamericanos ancestrales. Se introduce el concepto de Otroas, compañeroas, niñoas, como experiencia vivida en el hoy, profundizando los alcances de una bipolaridad de género, otorgándole su cualidad de cambio permanente que expresa la fluidez inscrita en el género.

Expressive means of prosody in the address “On the State of the Country” (on the material of the speech given by Barack Obama in 2014)
Authors: Anikyan Tamara
Published: July 2021

This article examines the expressive potential of prosodic means based on the 2014 State of the Union Address to Congress delivered by the President of the United States Barack Obama “On the State of the Country”. Special attention is given to the discursive characteristics of the text and the peculiarities of communicative situation, including such prosodic parameters as pausation, tone and intensity, word accents, as well as capabilities of the syllabic consonants. The author employs auditive and instrumental methods for the analysis of speech fragments of the politician, which illustrates the effectiveness of modifications of suprasegmental speech characteristics for achieving the optimal rhetorical effect in the information-enriched text. The relevance of this research is defined by need for comprehensive analysis of the political discourse and techniques used to influence the audience. The scientific novelty lies in consideration of the expressive capabilities of prosodic means in the political texts with consideration of various extralinguistic factors, as well as within the specific type of political discourse – orientation genre as a speech of information-prescriptive nature. The acquired results demonstrate the expressive potential of suprasegmental means in oral speech, and can be implemented in teaching students-philologists the principles of analysis of political texts from the perspective of expressive syntax, prosody, cognitive syllabics, and rhetoric.

The objective of this research is the vacation rental growth in tourist destinations; Tenerife Is‑ land is taking like a case study. Specifically, we analyzed the influence of the accommodation structure on the expansion process of this business model; and, on the other hand, the impact that the vacation rental may have on the rules of the game in the tourist field. It starts from a theoretical perspective that analyzes economic spaces as complex productive realities, made up of actors and capitals, which interact on the basis of behavioral guidelines based on norms and (un) equilibria of power. Methodologically, we proceed by means of a coherent, systematic and triangular approach from different data sources. As for the results, there is an increase in vacation rental, partially conditioned by the existing tourism model, and also an open and conflicting debate regarding the operating rules in the sector

The objective of this research was to identify the set of municipalities that are configured as tour‑ ist areas in the State of Paraná, Brazil, considering the concentration and specialisation of their tourist at‑ tractions. In order to achieve this goal, mathematical tools were applied as a means to define the degree of concentration, measured by the Herfindahl‑Hirschman Index (HHI), and the level of specialisation, calculated using a Location Quotient (LQ), of the tourism in the municipalities. The origin of the data analysed came from TripAdvisor and from the Secretary for Employment at the Ministry of Economy. The importance of this study is the need for instruments that subsidize the decision‑makers from public and private sectors in the elabora‑ tion of strategic planning for municipalities or regions. The results obtained point to the conformation of tourist spaces around the large demographic centers, highlighted the municipalities of Foz do Iguaçu, Curitiba and Paranaguá, by specialization and concentration criteria of tourism in the State. Furthermore, it was possible to identify isolated tourism destinations, which have very specific and unique attractions, as Iretama, Verê, Mal‑ let and Tijucas do Sul, besides the growth potential of other tourism areas like Ponta Grossa, Prudentópolis, Cascavel e Guarapuava
