Zamboanga Chavacano: A Survey on Written Practices, Reactions and Impact of its (Standardised) Orthography
Authors: Himoro Marcelo Yuji , Pareja-Lora Antonio
Published: September 2022

Zamboanga Chavacano is the most vibrant Philippine Creole Spanish variety. Since the implementation of the Mother Tongue-Based Multilingual Education (MTB-MLE) program in 2012, it has been taught as a subject and used as a medium of instruction in the public schools of Zamboanga City. Despite the approval of an orthography in 2014, it continues to be written using ad hoc spelling systems influenced by Filipino, English and Spanish to varying degrees. By means of a self-administered questionnaire distributed in social media, this study aims to investigate the level of awareness of the speakers to the orthography, their reactions to it, and show that it may be fairly complex for the average speaker. The results of this survey allowed us to preliminarily identify the contexts in which the language is usually written and devise a suitable corpus of written Chavacano for the study of the spelling errors made by the speakers.

Authors: Illamola Cristina , Pintó-Miralles Sila
Published: September 2022

El objetivo de este artículo es presentar el diseño y la compilación de uno de los corpus orales que constituyen la base de análisis del proyecto VarGEmpatLing (Variación genérica de la empatía lingüística). El principal interés de este proyecto recae en analizar el conjunto de mecanismos y de recursos lingüísticos disponibles en español que favorecen la empatía en un contexto de interacción muy concreto: el ámbito médico-sanitario. Para ello, como marco teórico, se revisan, por un lado, el concepto de empatía y algunas de las estrategias pragmáticas que la favorecen, y, por otro, las bases del diseño de corpus de lengua oral. A continuación, se presenta el proceso concreto para diseñar el corpus CAEmIM-P y se exponen sus limitaciones sin olvidar las consecuencias de la inevitable paradoja del investigador. En último término, se ofrece un conjunto de ejemplos de estrategias pragmáticas que favorecen la empatía, extraídas del corpus compilado, y se cierra con una reflexión sobre las futuras líneas de análisis.
Ideología y discurso sobre las feministas en las columnas de opinión de Amando de Miguel
Authors: Guerrero Salazar Susana
Published: September 2022

Este trabajo analiza el discurso de Amando de Miguel sobre el feminismo y las feministas en 41 columnas de opinión publicadas en el diario Libertad Digital desde 2000 a 2021. La muestra ha sido extraída de la base de datos del proyecto DISMUPREN. El objetivo es determinar el posicionamiento ideológico del columnista frente a las feministas y analizar las valoraciones y los argumentos empleados en la construcción de su discurso. Las preguntas de investigación de las que partimos son qué ideologemas sustentan el discurso y en qué mecanismos lingüísticos y retóricos se apoya. Para el análisis del corpus hemos seguido el marco teórico analítico del Análisis del Discurso, lo que nos ha permitido dar respuestas a las preguntas de investigación planteadas y mostrar cómo Amando de Miguel realiza sistemáticamente una representación negativa de las feministas, como grupo al que se haya claramente enfrentado ideológicamente.
Desespacialización y privilegio en el discurso glotopolítico en la prensa sobre mujeres andaluzas. Implicaciones para la comunicación intercultural y el multilingüismo
Authors: Rodríguez-Iglesias Ígor
Published: September 2022

El artículo estudia los discursos andalufóbicos contra las mujeres andaluzas en la prensa. En el análisis se pone de relieve cómo estos discursos no son únicamente patriarcales y únicamente andalufóbicos. Tales discursos dan cuenta de un vector patriarco-andalufóbico. Se trata de una interseccionalidad que debe ser observada en relación con el estudio de las prácticas discursivas contra las mujeres, de un lado, y en las prácticas discursivas contra el pueblo andaluz, ya sean explícitas o implícitas. Para llegar a tal conclusión, en el artículo se estudia el origen de la andalufobia, la irrupción de la mujer en la escena pública a partir de sus propias luchas feministas, diferentes visiones del feminismo desde posiciones colonialmente subalternizadas y los procesos ideológicos implicados (como la desespacialización) y su materialización (privilegio/no-privilegio, legitimidad/deslegitimación, etc.), así como las repercusiones que todo esto tiene para campos sociolingüísticos en auge como el multilingüismo y la comunicación intercultural.
THE POWER OF THAI DEMONSTRATIONS AGAINST THE ROYAL FAMILY
Authors: Saragih Hendra Maujana , Suhayatmi Suhayatmi , Zulham Muhammad
Published: September 2022

Thailand has a long history of political riots and protests, but the pro-democracy actions that took place for most of 2020 and are continuing today are the biggest actions in Thai history. The wave of actions bearing the 'Three Fingers' symbol began in February 2020 after the Thai Raksa Chart, the most outspoken opposition political party, was suspended by the Constitutional Court. This freeze is considered by democracy activists to increasingly benefit the ruler of the military junta, Prime Minister Prayuth Chan Ocha. There were at least 10 demands made by the demonstrators, among others, urging the ruling government to step down immediately, demanding amendments to the military product constitution which is not pro-people, immediately holding fair and fair elections, and pressing for reform of the monarchy that has ruled Thailand for decades. The demonstrators were worried that Thailand would again be trapped in an absolute monarchy system as it was before 1932, where the king held full power as head of state as well as head of government.  In recent months, demonstrators have taken to the streets to resist resistance. Although the pro-democracy activists were responded to, the demonstrators, who were mostly students, students, and youth ranks, fearlessly continued to embrace to pressure the royal family. Actions against the monarchy like those of the country's demonstrators were both courageous and surprising. Why not, since birth in the realm of the body, Thai citizens have been instilled to love and obey the monarchy unconditionally and are instilled to be afraid to do things that are against or just talk about the royal family. However, the anger, disgust of the Thai people towards the feudal behavior of the royal family who are busier with self-interest coupled with the Military Junta ruling regime that is not pro-people makes their patience limit is on the limit.

Published: September 2022

Content creators are competing to increase viewers and enter the TikTok homepage or commonly known as FYP (For Your Page). The existence of this FYP encourages content creators to start doing something that makes their TikTok account viral, one of which is creating sad content or sadfishing. Sadfishing has become a trend where this trend occurs because artists, actors or even ordinary characters share unimportant sadness to get the attention of many people so that they will feel satisfied and are encouraged to continue to sell their sad stories to bring fame. This study uses the basic concept of sadfishing and Dramatism Theory. The approach in this research is qualitative with case study research method. The data collection technique was carried out by in-depth interviews. The data analysis technique uses a method that is carried out in three stages, namely: data reduction, data presentation, and conclusions or verification as a technique for compiling research. The results show that influencers who own TikTok accounts share sadness or Sadfishing because of the "Trend" insistence on TikTok Social Media in order to gain sympathy and empathy, content creators will increasingly look for ways to keep their content liked by many people. the point of it all is that they just want to go viral and be famous.
Usage of satellites for the Earth remote sensing: legal problems and prospects
Authors: Lysenko M. N. , Lozhkovoi P. N.
Published: September 2022

The subject of the study incorporates the problems and prospects of remote sensing of the Earth, an analysis of the effectiveness of the international legal framework in this area is given in the article.

General and special methods of legal analysis were used.

The main results of the research include the proof that from a technical point of view, the definition and concept of remote sensing do not cause disagreement among professionals, but it was not possible to achieve consensus on the international legal status of remote sensing. It is not in the main sources of international space law. The Principles of Remote Sensing of 1986 are imperfect and outdated in many respects, although they remain the only universal international document regulating remote sensing, and have not been challenged for more than 30 years. A balance has been established between the interests of states on the main controversial issues, such as the relationship between freedom of space monitoring, state sovereignty and access to remote sensing data.

The results are practically significant, as they can serve as the basis for new normative legal acts at the international level, in the long term it is important to further expand cooperation in the field of remote sensing within the UN and other international organizations, conclude regional and bilateral agreements and develop national legislation.

The conclusion of the study is that the formation of the legal framework for remote sensing occurs by integrating the norms of "soft laws" into national laws, fixing them in international treaties and, as a consequence, the emergence of norms of customary law and norms of international law.
Current issues of digitalization of criminal proceedings: a look into the future
Authors: Meretukov G. M. , Gritsaev S. I. , Pomazanov V. V.
Published: September 2022

The authors point out the main problems of the transformation of criminal justice. Which rest on the need to reform the entire system of the branch of law, as the digitalization of any sphere of activity requires changes in formal and constitutional institutions, culture, as well as the creation and use of AI artificial intelligence systems, the creation of technological capabilities to analyze huge amounts of Big Data and the protection of personal data. This is a condition of digital transformation.

In the formation of a strategy of digitalization of criminal justice in the Russian Federation, according to the authors, there is a stalemate, which is difficult to resolve. On the one hand, criminal justice is a procedural institute, which operates strictly within the system of regulations, on the other hand, the digitalization of criminal proceedings requires huge changes in the sphere of law in general and in its individual branches.

From the technological point of view, we see from the example of some business projects that such processes of some sectors of the economy are feasible. To build a technological platform for criminal proceedings is currently possible, it requires a transition to electronic criminal records (with minor amendments to the RF Criminal Procedural Code), to implement artificial intelligence and “drive” it all into technologies for processing large heterogeneous data Big Data, OLAP and DataMining. The problem lies not in the impossibility to change the existing legal model of criminal procedure and other procedural subjects, but in the fact that law enforcement is carried out between values where logic is powerless, where thinking is carried out in the form of understanding. And the necessary condition for understanding requires intuition and empathy as the most important elements of legal thinking of the law enforcement officer. Artificial intelligence cannot have them.

In other words, in some parts of the law enforcement will be possible to create some kind of digital platforms, which will not meet the whole concept of building a sectoral platform, the consequence of these particular transformations is the fact that a co mprehensive digitalization of criminal justice is not expected in the near future, in view of the thin matter of science – law.
Unified system of public authority: debatable aspects of legal regulation
Authors: Kozhevnikov O. A. , Kostyukov A. N. , Larichev A. A.
Published: September 2022

The subject of this study is the legal regulation of the unified system of public authority in the Russian Federation. Its purpose is to determine the theoretical approaches and practice of legislative regulation of a unified system of public authority, which is unfolding after the adoption of amendments to the text of the Constitution of the Russian Federation in 2020. The main hypothesis, which authors propose is that there is a contradiction between the norms of the acts, governing organization and activities of public authorities, and those norms in their relationship with the constitutional norms governing the relevant relations. In the course of the work, the authors used both general research methods, including methods of analysis and synthesis, as well as field-specific ones, including the formal legal method. The authors believe that the difficulties in reflecting public authority in normative regulation lie primarily in the fact that neither in Soviet legal research, nor in the current Russian legal thought, issues of public authority have been considered meaningfully and in detail. Its content and structure do not have a clear, complete doctrinal understanding. Foreign experience, however, shows that such a clear understanding at the theoretical level is absent in foreign jurisdictions either.
Metakognitiv kunnskap om hukommelse og arbeidsevne: En replikasjon og stringent test
Authors: Nordahl Henrik , Vollset Tarjei , Hjemdal Odin
Published: September 2022

Self-assessed work ability is a prospective predictor of sick leave and is defined as the subjective balance between human resources and work demands. Since self-assessed work ability is not equivalent to health status, it is important to identify factors that contribute to self-assessed work ability and that are modifiable to change, since they have the potential to reduce sick leave and related problems. The metacognitive model suggests that metacognition may be related to work ability and work status, and a previous study reported an association between memory confidence (metacognition) and work ability. We aimed to replicate this finding and to test its robustness. In a cross-sectional study with convenience sampling, 502 participants responded to self-reporting measures. As expected, confidence in memory correlated significantly with self-assessed work ability, and this association held even when controlling for gender, age, impairing physical illnesses, anxiety and depression symptoms, negative automatic thoughts related to anxiety, fear of bodily sensations, and intolerance of uncertainty. Memory confidence may be a target for treatment with a view to improving work ability.

Keywords: work ability, metacognition, S-REF model, cognitive confidence, metacognitive therapy
The Myologia by Saeghemolen and Van Horne in context: Art, science and religion at Leiden University, ca. 1660
Authors: Jorink Eric
Published: September 2022

This paper explores the intellectual and culture context in which the Van Horne – Saeghemolen alba were commissioned and used. It is argued that these have to be understood in the broader Dutch context of the overlapping fields of art and science in genral, and in the comntext of Leiden university in particular. Established in 1575, the university took great care to innovate both education and research. Eye for detail – both philological and anatomical – was considered of great importance, also with regard to religious notions of the ‘Book of Nature’, God’s second revelation. After discussing the these backgrounds, some attention is paid to two of Van Horne’s students, Nicolaus Steno and Johannes Swammerdam.

The Impact of Multinationalism and Solvency on Profitability of Fast-Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) Multinational Enterprises
Authors: Panhwar Rubab , Pathan Dr. Saima Kamran , Gilal Muhammad Akram
Published: September 2022

The current study examined the impact of multinationality and solvency on the profitability of multinational firms. In this study, a panel framework of forty-five FMCG has drawn from 2005 to 2017. This study adopted the dynamic generalized method of moments (GMM) and used the simultaneous equation method to cope with endogeneity issues and robustness result. Most of studies have formulated on large heterogeneous firms in literature and contained dummy variables, which are also causes of endogeneity. Hence in this study, large likely homogeneous firms have been used as samples. The results of this study suggest that solvency has a profound effect on performance. In this study, FMCGs showed inverse influence of multinationality on profitability. We concluded that the large FMCGs are at an optimum level of multinationality. So, if they would further increase cross-border investments, they could decrease their return on a total investment of assets.

Authors: Vijayan Aswathy K. , Muthukrishnan Arvind
Published: September 2022

Background: High-risk Human Papillomavirus infections, and polymorphism of the p53 gene, have been implicated in oral potentially malignant disorders. The present study determines whether the polymorphism at codon 72 of the p53 gene and the presence of HPV-16/18 strains are associated with OLP patients. Materials and methods: The biopsy specimens were obtained from 250 OLP individuals. The samples were processed for HPV-DNA analysis and polymorphism of the p53 gene using PCR. Data were analyzed by applying the Chi-square test. Results: There were 103  positive HPV sample specimens with 34 males and 69 females which were shown to be statistically significant (p<0.001). Arg/Arg, Pro/Pro, and Arg/Pro were found in 19.4%, 31.1%, and 50% of HPV-positive cases of OLP, respectively, compared to 17%, 47%, and 36% of HPV-negative samples, which were found to be statistically significant between the two groups. The Arginine allele (44%) was more prevalent in HPV-associated OLP than in HPV-negative OLP cases (35%) which was found to be statistically significant between the groups. Conclusion: The results of the current study relate to the premalignant potential of OLP based on the occurrence of codon 72 of the p53 gene polymorphism in HPV-associated OLP patients in terms of genotype and allele.

Published: September 2022

Introduction. There is an increase in the prevalence of neurological disorders. An adequatetraining of medical neurology personnel is an imperative task. The phenomenon of neurophobia can affect proper learning and even aspirations to be a neurology specialist. Methods. A cross-sectional study was carried out through a questionnaire to evaluate the perception of students about medical specialties and factors that contribute to the difficulty of neurology. The questionnaire was distributedthrough social media groups of medical students. Excel was used for the management and tabulation of the answers obtained and SPSS for data analysis. Results. In relation to an interest in specialties (high interest), the most frequent specialties were cardiology 37.3% (22) and neurology 20.3% (15). The complexity of neuroanatomy 42.4% (25) and little contact with neurological patients 40.7% (24) were the factors that contributed to the difficulty of neurology. Conclusion. The traditional teacher-centered teaching model is prone to neglect essential tools such as neurology laboratories, standardized patient simulation, and essential contact with neurological patients.There is an important need to implement new teaching methodologies in neurology and greater contact with neurological patients.

Authors: Figueroa Fonseca Any
Published: September 2022

Introducción. Los vendedores de ruta en Tegucigalpa y Comayagüela están expuestos diariamente a ser víctimas de actos delictivos, los cuales resultan en pérdidas económicas o materiales. Sin embargo, menos evidente es el deterioro en las actitudes al trabajar bajo esta condición. El objetivo de este estudio fue explorar las consecuencias que la violencia laboral intrusiva tiene sobre las actitudes hacia el trabajo de esta población. Métodos. Se utilizó el método de teoría fundamentada, mediante entrevista a profundidad semiestructurada y con un muestreo no probabilístico que incluyó a nueve vendedores de cinco compañías. La técnica de muestreo fue por bola de nieve a través de las referencias que los participantes dieron sobre compañeros de trabajo que podían formar parte del estudio. También, se utilizó muestreo intencional al contactar directamente a posibles participantes del estudio. Resultados. Las consecuencias a nivel organizacional incluyeron ausentismo, descenso en la productividad, bajo desempeño y actitudes negativas a la hora de trabajar. Los participantes en el estudio percibieron de parte de la empresa: falta de empatía, un deficiente manejo de las circunstancias adversas y falta de apertura hacia la opinión del empleado. Conclusión. Se percibió un deficiente apoyo organizacional, mientras que la satisfacción y el compromiso están menos ligados a la situación de violencia. Estas dos actitudes parecen estar más vinculadas con la estabilidad, el salario, la antigüedad y el desarrollo de carrera.
The Intervening Effect of Investment Policies on the Relationship between Corporate Governance and Performance of Pension Fund Managers in Kenya
Authors:   Management University of Africa, Ali Derow Aden
Published: September 2022

The pension fund is a common asset pool meant to generate stable growth over the long term, and provide pensions for employees when they reach the end of their working years and commence retirement. These targeted investments often require union built construction or are aimed at job creation and retention as in the case of private equity investments. Pension fund performance has received increased attention across the world with public pension fund performing dismally when compared to private pension fund.. This study sought to determine the intervening effect of investment policies on the relationship between corporate governance and performance of pension fund managers in Kenya. The study employed a cross sectional survey design whereby access to the widest possible amount of data from the targeted Fund Managers in Kenya was sought. The population of interest of the study was 31 Fund Managers in Kenya licensed by RBA and CMA. The study used purely primary data sources. Primary data was obtained from the selected respondents. Primary data was collected through questionnaire. Regression analysis was used to establish the relative significance of each of the variables on the influence of corporate governance on the performance of pension fund managers in Kenya. The study findings indicated that there exists a partial mediation effect on the mediating role of investment policies on the relationship between corporate governance and performance of pension fund managers. The study thus, rejected the null hypothesis and adopted the alternative hypothesis that there is a partial intervening effect of investment policies in the relationship between corporate governance and performance of pension fund managers in Kenya. The study recommends that the governing body of the pension fund should set forth in a written statement and actively observe an overall investment policy. The investment policy should establish clear investment objectives for the pension fund that are consistent with the retirement income objective of the pension fund and, therefore, with the characteristics of the liabilities of the pension fund and with the acceptable degree of risk for the pension fund, the plan sponsor and the plan members and beneficiaries. The approach for achieving those objectives should satisfy the prudent person standard taking into account the need for proper diversification and risk management, the maturity of the obligations and the liquidity needs of the pension fund, and any specific legal limitations on portfolio allocation. Keywords: Investment Policies, Corporate Governance, Performance & Pension Fund Managers.
Rare Earth Element Mobility and Sr Isotope Systematics of Altered Volcanic Rocks from Seawater-Based and Magmatically Influenced Hydrothermal Systems: Brothers Volcano, Kermadec Arc (IODP Expedition 376)
Authors: Humphris Susan E. , Blusztajn Jerzy , Cai Yuanfeng
Published: September 2022

In 2018, International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP) Expedition 376 successfully drilled into seawater-based and magmatically influenced hydrothermal systems within and on the wall of the caldera of Brothers volcano, an active submarine volcano in the Kermadec arc. We report rare earth element (REE) abundances and ratios for altered volcanic material recovered from three holes to assess mobility and partitioning under the different conditions of fluid-rock reactions. We combine these with loss on ignition (LOI) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) data to document the extent of alteration, and with Sr concentration and isotope data to evaluate water/rock (W/RSr) ratios and provide constraints on hydrothermal exchange and conditions of alteration. Rocks recovered from the seawater-based NW Caldera hydrothermal system show variable extents of alteration (LOI values of 1–11 wt %) at low W/RSr ratios (1–14) to chlorite- and quartz-rich alteration mineral assemblages. We attribute the limited changes observed in total REE content (ΣREE) and chondrite-normalized REE patterns to a combination of their incorporation into secondary minerals such as chlorite and smectite and complexation with chloride ligands in the reacting fluids. Rocks recovered from the magmatically influenced Upper Cone hydrothermal field (and from an older interval deep beneath the NW Caldera wall) are more extensively altered (LOI values of 4 to >22 wt %), although at similar low W/RSr ratios (~1–16) to heterogeneous natroalunite- and pyrophyllite-bearing assemblages. The REEs exhibit considerably greater mobility with lower ΣREE contents, particularly in the middle and heavy REEs (LaN/YbN ratios up to 4). We suggest that accommodation in secondary minerals is unlikely to play a role in REE behavior due to their lack of substitution sites for the REEs. We attribute enhanced mobility of all the REEs to increased solubility due to the very low pH, and interpret fractionation of the middle and heavy REEs as likely due to complexation with fluoride, which enhances their solubility relative to the light REEs.

Writing Abstracts for Research Articles: Towards a Framework for Move Structure of Abstracts
Authors: Yoong Wei Ho , Razali Abu Bakar , Abd Samad Arshad
Published: September 2022

The abstract as a sub-genre of the research article has been explored in many studies, particularly with regards to its rhetorical move structure. However, these studies have mainly focused on the macro-structures of abstracts in terms of the main moves present based on pre-existing models by Swales (1990), Dos Santos (1996), and Hyland (2000). Studies analyzing the micro-structures of abstracts in which the sub-categories under each main category are lacking. This study identifies the main moves of abstracts, the steps and sub-steps within each move to propose a comprehensive framework for abstract structure. Using a move based analysis, 100 research article abstracts in the field of social science and humanities were analyzed at the sentence level, where each sentence was coded and assigned a move. Based on the analysis, five main moves consisting of 12 steps and 25 sub-steps were identified. The frequency of occurrence revealed that Move 2: Introducing Study and Move 4: Presenting Findings were conventional, while Move 1: Situating Research, Move 3: Describing Methodology, and Move 5: Describing Implication and Recommendation were optional. This study has implications for research on the genre analysis of abstracts as well as the teaching of abstract structure in the academic setting.

O ser humano, no decorrer da história, tem atuado de forma colonizadora sobre as demais espécies de vida que habitam o planeta Terra, corroborando uma postura antropocêntrica que tem causado prejuízos irreversíveis aos não humanos e ao próprio vivente humano. Partindo dessa premissa, nossa proposta, com o artigo em questão, é otimizar uma discussão acerca das relações coloniais que o ser humano mantém com o mundo natural, a partir do diálogo com os estudos animais e com a ecocrítica, a fim de demonstrar como essas vertentes de pensamento, em contato com a literatura, são importantes caminhos para se pensar as resistências não humanas. Assim, nossos questionamentos se potencializam pelo encontro entre, por um lado, os textos do poeta Carlos Drummond de Andrade, que revelam acentuada preocupação com a coexistência de todas as formas de vida do planeta Terra ou “arranjos multiespécies” e, por outro lado, o pensamento colaborativo de Donna Haraway (2016). Em nossa reflexão, concebemos que tais textos denominamos de “ativismo poético”.
Crianimalça: figurações da relação criança-animal
Authors: Melo Anita P. de
Published: September 2022

O presente artigo oferece uma leitura comparada de duas narrativas de ficção, a saber: “Nós matámos o cão-tinhoso” de Luís Bernardo Honwana, e Quem me dera ser onda de Manuel Rui. Essas obras, cujos personagens principais são crianças e animais não-humanos, tematizam, entre outros tópicos, condições de vulnerabilidade enquanto correlacionam a resistência dos animais não-humanos com os atos de insurreição das crianças. A partir de uma revisão do complexo estatuto da criança dentro do modelo humanista (antropocêntrico e focado no humano adulto) e à luz dos estudos literários animais contemporâneos, este artigo propõe revisitar as obras supracitadas acima a partir de uma análise factual, não-alegórica, tanto das crianças como dos animais não-humanos. Desfocalizando o humano adulto, o objetivo aqui é examinar como a relação interespécie e de afeição que crianças desenvolvem para com animais não-humanos pode contribuir com maior fôlego para se pensar e debater, de uma forma mais antiantropocêntrica, a complexa e multidimensional relação entre humanos e não-humanos.

Os textos contidos neste número discutem a vulnerabilidade ontológica e enfatizam a patogenia das relações entre animais humanos e outros viventes animais, ao mesmo tempo em que apontam para caminhos de resistência contra a violação dos corpos. A vulnerabilidade patogênica, ou seja, aquela que nasce das relações de opressão e exploração, é revelada nos corpos torturados, assujeitados e assassinados, como se vê na poesia de Drummond (Guida e Melo) e na leitura do romance de Ana Paula Maia (Barros). Este último texto abre espaço para uma reflexão acerca das lutas anti-capitalista e anti-especista e dialoga, portanto, com a análise de O sofá estampado (Bortoletto e Libanori), em que a opressão figura na pobreza social e na miséria da vida para além do humano. A intersecção entre diferentes formas de violência aparece, também, nas análises de f (Rodrigues e González) e Contos Gauchescos (Copstein), que reforçam a relação entre modos de opressão como o especismo, o capacitismo e o sexismo. Por fim, o questionamento do sujeito nos textos de Arce, Alkmin, Gonçalves, Melo, Costa e Guimarães revê o lugar da animalidade e possibilita um entendimento da vulnerabilidade ontológica como aquela que propicia o encontro entre corpos marcados pela força da insurreição.
A experiência da animalidade em "A maçã no escuro", de Clarice Lispector, e em "Acenos e afagos", de João Gilberto Noll: um estudo comparativo
Authors: Costa Fabrício Lemos da , Guimarães Mayara Ribeiro
Published: September 2022

O presente artigo pretende analisar a experiência dos personagens de A maçã no escuro (1961), de Clarice Lispector (1920-1977), e Acenos e afagos (2008), de João Gilberto Noll (1946-2017), com a animalidade. Nesta aproximação, problematizaremos vivências, que, pelos animais, convocam a desclassificação e desorganização dos sujeitos. Para isto, o informe e o “imundo” emergem como maneira mais particular de evidenciar um contato entre o homem e o selvagem. Estamos, pois, no campo da desarticulação de qualquer ordenamento diante dos inumanos, na figura dos animais. Para este artigo, recorremos às reflexões de Nascimento (2012), Giorgi (2016), Berger (2021), Nor (2018), Maciel (2016), Sousa (2012), Seligmann-Silva (2011), Garramuño (2011), Agamben (2017), Bataille (2008), Yelin (2015) e Deleuze; Guattari (1980).
"Você precisa de mais": reflexões sobre trabalho no contexto dos esports
Authors: Rosa Arruda Jenifer
Published: September 2022

No contexto da sociedade contemporânea atual, denominada Sociedade do Desempenho, o trabalho assume a tarefa de gerenciar o tempo que se apresenta dominado pelo senso de produtividade e rentabilidade. À vista disso, o presente estudo objetivou refletir sobre o trabalho no contexto dos esports – jogos videogames competitivos em nível profissional. Para tanto, realizou-se um estudo exploratório de natureza qualitativa. A coleta de dados se deu a partir do episódio de podcast intitulado “Profissionais dos eSports", que foi transmitido pelo programa Nerdcast em 15 de maio de 2020. As reflexões que daí emergiram possibilitaram observar que no contexto dos esports o trabalho se mostra intensificado e reproduz as perspectivas que orientam a Sociedade do Desempenho, assim como a lógica imperante do “yes, we can” que a rege.

Галактика SBS1001+555 исследуется в качестве объекта базовой выборки в реализуемой нами программе по изучению эволюционных процессов звездообразования в галактиках. В основе работы результаты панорамной спектроскопии центральной части, являющейся зоной активности галактики, с ее основным очагом звездообразования, обозначенным нами А. Наблюдения выполнены с использованием мультизрачкового спректрографа MPFS на 6-м телескопе САО РАН, получен спектральный диапазон 635-725 нм с дисперсией 0.76 Е /эл. Кроме наиболее интенсивной бальмеровской линии излучения водорода Hα, в полученном интегральном спектре зарегистрированы линии гелия HeI 6678, HeI 7065, запрещенные линии азота, серы, аргона [NII] 6548, 6583, [SII] 6716, 6731, [ArIII] 7136 и более десятка слабых линий нейтральных и однократно ионизованных линий железа и неона FeI 6824, 6837, 7447, 7453, 7544, NeI 7245, 7544, FeII 7682, 7687, NeII 7213. Проведен подробный анализ двухмерных распределений интенсивностей, радиальных скоростей и других параметров по полю наблюдений в Hα . Помимо A, наиболее крупной и яркой области HII, выявлены три небольшие, А1, А2, А3, формирующие вместе с А общую стуктуру. Одна из вторичных областей, А1, отождествляется с дифференцируемым на снимке IRAC 4.5 мк конденсацией. В качестве численных характеристик областей HII приводятся значения основных параметров в их пиках, из интегральных - эквивалентные радиусы, светимость и темп звездообразования, Req, L(Hα) и SFR(Hα) . Представленные данные, в частности, указывают на активные процессы непосредственно связанные с наиболее ярким в SBS1001+555 источником излучения в оптике и развитие вокруг него звездоформирующей структуры.

Doğu ve Güneydoğu Anadolu Bölgesinde yer alan Adıyaman, Batman, Elazığ, Malatya, Mardin, Şanlıurfa ve Diyarbakır illerindeki bağ alanlarında fitoplazma hastalık etmenlerinin durumlarını belirlemek için 2013-2021 yılları arasında sörveyler gerçekleştirilmiştir. Güdümlü örnekleme yöntemine göre yapılan bu sörveyler sonucu 1110 bitki örneği toplanmıştır. Fitoplazma varlığını belirlemek amacıyla toplanan örneklerin Gerçek Zamanlı Polimeraz Zincir Reaksiyonu (qPCR) analizi ile hızlı teşhisleri gerçekleştirilmiştir. qPCR analizi sonucunda biri Elazığ diğeri ise Mardin ilinde olmak üzere toplam 2 örnekte fitoplazma etmeni tespit edilmiştir. Tespit edilen pozitif örneklerin teşhisleri için R16mF2/R16mR1 ve R16F2n/R16R2 üniversal primerlerinin kullanıldığı Yuvalanmış Gerçek Zamanlı Polimeraz Zincir Reaksiyonu (Nested qPCR) analizleri gerçekleştirilmiş ve 1.25 kb boyutunda bantlar elde edilmiştir. Fitoplazma örneklerinin 16S rDNA bölgesinden elde edilen 1.25 kb’lik amplifikasyon ürünlerine BLAST ve sanal RFLP analizleri uygulanmıştır. Bu analizler ile doğrulanan 2 pozitif örnekte ‘Candidatus Phytoplasma solani’ (16Sr group XII, subgroup A)’nin varlığı belirlenmiştir (OM212474 ve OM909048). Fitoplazma izolatlarına ait 16S rDNA dizilerinin BLAST karşılaştırmasında dünyadaki diğer fitoplazma izolatları ile %99-100 arasında benzerlik gösterdiği tespit edilmiştir.
Technical Paper on Electromagnetic Railgun
Authors: Anish Pratha
Published: September 2022

The paper has the information about the model and working of electromagnetic rail gun. The basic idea of study is Lorentz Principle and applications of this principle. The model can be translated as the simple model of a loop which is made from a current carrying wire and studying the loop properties in an external magnetic field. Although applying this idea on a practical system has its own difficulties and necessities. These necessities and difficulties are discussed in this paper. The concept of launching the projectile using the electromagnetic field under the influence of external magnetic conditions is a new concept. this type of concept is a future development concept but however It has been demonstrated how this concept is effective.
