Práticas espaciais insurgentes do movimento indígena no Brasil diante da ofensiva jurídico-legal contemporânea
Authors: Zilio Rafael
Published: December 2022

O artigo analisa algumas das principais práticas espaciais insurgentes do movimento indígena no Brasil diante da atual conjuntura de ofensiva jurídico-legal. Primeiramente, oferecemos como pano de fundo uma discussão sobre a problemática de origem colonial da imposição do Estado moderno no que chamamos de América, elemento que está presente até hoje em inúmeros conflitos de territorialidades em nosso continente e que repercutem nas atuais práticas espaciais indígenas. Posteriormente, contextualizamos a ofensiva jurídico-legal no Brasil contemporâneo destacando a tese do “marco temporal” em julgamento no Supremo Tribunal Federal e os principais Projetos de Lei em tramitação no Congresso Nacional, que constituem uma agenda anti-indígena. Em seguida nos debruçamos sobre as práticas espaciais insurgentes, notadamente as retomadas e autodemarcações, e complementarmente a constituição de redes e a política de escalas. Na seguinte seção aprofundamos a análise de uma experiência de autodemarcação territorial relacionada ao povo Munduruku Planalto, em Santarém, oeste do Pará. Por fim, arrematamos destacando os limites da lógica do Estado moderno perante a reconquista e defesa de territórios indígenas.

En el presente estudio se inventarió la riqueza de taxones endémicos que habitan en el Área Tropical Importante para Plantas (TIPA) Concepción, así como el efecto de la pérdida de la cobertura natural sobre estos atributos florísticos. El inventario fue realizado mediante fuentes de datos primarios (prospecciones de campo) y secundarios (bases de datos y especímenes de herbarios). La pérdida de la cobertura vegetal fue determinada mediante el análisis multitemporal de imágenes satelitales de tres periodos de tiempo (1990-2000, 2001-2010, 2011-2020). Basados en los registros históricos e inventarios de campo, un total de 28 taxones endémicos fueron inventariados (dos son nuevas especies para la ciencia). El endemismo que resguardan los hábitats que conforman el paisaje del área de estudio resultó distinto cuando comparados unos con otros (<30% de similaridad). Hasta el 2020, la cobertura natural se redujo progresivamente al 72.6%, bajo una tasa de pérdida anual de 0,88% ± 0,27%. Como consecuencia de la pérdida de la cobertura vegetal, ocho de los 28 taxones endémicos han desaparecido en la TIPA Concepción, ya que los hábitats donde fueron registrados se sustituyeron por áreas de producción agropecuaria. Por lo cual, los taxones remanentes enfrentan un alto riesgo de extinción local.
[Ensaio visual] Reconfigurações de um percurso académico em tempos de pandemia. O futuro é hoje
Authors: Ribeiro José Silva
Published: December 2022

Em março de 2020 fomos surpreendidos por uma pandemia que alastrou rapidamente por todo o mundo e se debateu com políticas desconcertadas de governos dos diversos países. Cientistas, políticos e negacionistas confundiram-nos com sua inação ou divergência na ação. Para mim, a esperança de uma experiência na Universidade do Maranhão animava minha atividade de docência, investigação e extensão e a ilusão de que a pandemia seria controlada rapidamente. Regressado a Portugal numa situação de emergência, no início de abril confrontei-me com o vazio afetivo, emocional, social, académico e profissional e com o histórico de um tio avô que migrando para o Rio Grande do Sul viria a ser vítima da Gripe Espanhola (1918 e 1919), no início do século XX. Pretendo apresentar a reconfiguração de meu percurso em tempos de pandemia até este tempo de um possível esperar que esta possa estar controlada. Usarei para esta reflexão as notas do diário que fui escrevendo ao longo do tempo, a memória do vivido e das realizações, atividades, conexões e outras formas que me permitiram estar vivo e ativo perante esta terrível situação. Reinventar-me como pesquisador e organizador de ações de formação, de extensão e de participação em redes de pesquisa e ação colaborativa, em formas de co-aprendizagem e aprendência centradas nos aprendentes, nas suas histórias, nos seus desejos, emoções e visões do mundo, na reconfiguração das interações umas vezes mediadas pelas tecnologias outras pelas formas possíveis dos encontros que a situação por vezes permitia. Certos que as crises nos reinventam e reinventam o nosso estar como docentes, pesquisadores e de ações com a comunidade e podem contribuir para a reinvenção das escolas, universidades e instituições, que a dimensão temporal se alterou – que o futuro é hoje.

Published: December 2022

A pandemia da Covid-19 abriu perspectivas de novas alianças entre sociedade e universidade numa Ágora digital planetária. Com base no princípio da indissociabilidade entre pesquisa e extensão, apresentamos resultados de pesquisas sobre o Ateliê biográfico, enquanto dispositivo de pesquisa-ação-formação, cujo enfoque são vivências e práticas reconstruídas individualmente e de forma coletiva. O artigo focaliza possibilidades de entrelaçar memórias e devir no ato de narrar a experiência vivida mediante diversos instrumentos semióticos, incluindo webgrafias. Os resultados evidenciam que os participantes do Ateliê se apropriaram das interfaces entre vida existencial e profissional ao (re)interpretarem modos de ser e de agir. A reflexão coletiva contribui para a tomada de consciência e empoderamento de quem narra ao aliar dimensões pessoal, profissional e laboral com vista ao bem-estar necessário à preservação da qualidade de vida e do equilíbrio social numa sociedade mais justa.

Extensão Universitária e EJA
Authors: Moura Ana Paula Abreu , Rodrigues Solange Alves de Souza
Published: December 2022

Este trabalho tem como objetivo apresentar elementos que corroboram a importância da ruptura com o silenciamento sobre as questões raciais na Educação Superior. Nele, são tecidas reflexões sobre a inserção da temática em ações extensionistas desenvolvidas no âmbito da Extensão Universitária, direcionadas para a Educação de Jovens e Adultos, utilizando como objeto maior de reflexão a experiência do Curso de Formação de Alfabetizadores. Tendo como base o pensamento de Paulo Freire e as contribuições de pesquisadores como Almeida (2021) e Gomes (2002, 2005a, 2005b), o artigo ressalta a relevância de se compreender as relações raciais a partir dos condicionantes sociais, políticos e econômicos de nosso país. Destaca ainda, o papel fundamental que as práticas educativas podem desempenhar na construção de uma educação antirracista e, portanto, a importância da incorporação da temática racial nos cursos de formação docente.
Práticas anticapacitistas e antirracistas na extensão universitária durante a pandemia
Authors: Alves Camila Pereira , Machado Sofia Hein , Silveira Raquel da Silva
Published: December 2022

A interseccionalidade entre raça e deficiência é um tema importante que precisa ser ampliado nas universidades e sua visibilização expõe a fragilidade das formações acadêmicas para lidar com esse assunto. O objetivo geral deste trabalho é relatar a experiência de deslocamento e invenção de práticas extensionistas anticapacitistas e antirracistas para/no ecossistema digital, durante o período da pandemia do Covid-19. A metodologia utilizada está ancorada na Educação Popular de Paulo Freire, na Pedagogia Engajada de bell hooks e na contação de histórias. Desse modo, visa promover espaços que desenvolvam discussões interseccionais entre racismo e capacitismo. Na pandemia lives e seminários online tornaram-se ferramentas de atuação e de alcance a comunidade em geral, possibilitando a divulgação e a aproximação de pessoas negras com deficiência, mesmo que de forma limitada. Os resultados são satisfatórios, demonstrando adesão do público às atividades e debates propostos.

Esta ação visou sensibilizar a comunidade escolar em três escolas públicas sobre a importância de ações de estímulo à participação de meninas nas Engenharias ainda na fase do Ensino Fundamental e Médio. Assim, este artigo objetiva apresentar a experiência desse projeto e seu impacto nas escolas parceiras. Para saber a percepção da comunidade escolar, foram aplicados questionários ao final de cada atividade realizada. As educadoras e bolsistas envolvidas no projeto participaram de entrevistas semiestruturadas. Os procedimentos de coleta de dados passaram pela aprovação no Comitê de Ética. Como resultado, verificou-se que, embora as atividades tenham sido consideradas positivas pelas comunidades escolares, o maior impacto deu-se nas docentes e discentes da UFG que conduziram o projeto, pois consistiu-se num processo de formação que gerou oportunidades de inovação nas atividades didático-pedagógicas e na alteração de suas percepções a respeito do sistema educacional de escolas públicas.

Published: December 2022

Este artigo objetiva suscitar discussões a respeito da acessibilidade do estudante com deficiência via projeto de extensão da Universidade Estadual de Goiás. Com base no direito à educação para qualquer cidadão brasileiro questiona-se, em que medida a comunidade acadêmica da UEG tem discutido, promovido a acessibilidade e o direito de aprendizagem? O estudo se deu com base em estudos entre acadêmicos e professores por documentos oficiais e ou publicações que contemplam a educação especial-inclusiva e ou atendimento educacional especializado – AEE e relata a experiência de uma professora de apoio com dois estudantes sendo, um surdo e uma de baixa visão. Os resultados apontam que o AEE é uma das principais ações institucionalizadas pela lei e de maneira tímida, com todas as adversidades, minimiza o impacto da falta de políticas públicas assertivas, ainda que a previsão legal do direito, sem mudança de atitude refletida em prática pedagógica, não garante equidade de oportunidades.

Published: December 2022

Este estudo busca compreender as ações institucionais do Programa UFGInclui da Universidade Federal de Goiás (UFG). O foco será nos estudantes surdos que cursam Letras Libras, sobretudo a partir da aplicabilidade da Lei n. 13.409/2016, que alterou a Lei de Cotas de 2012 ao incluir as pessoas com deficiência na reserva de vagas. A pesquisa consiste em revisão bibliográfica e documental, articulando o histórico das ações afirmativas no Brasil, com ênfase nas normativas institucionais da UFG e nos seus desdobramentos como instrumento de acesso e permanência na instituição. Inicialmente, foram coletadas informações sobre os sujeitos pesquisados junto ao órgão responsável na UFG. Como resultado, foi possível identificar que as matrículas oscilaram e diminuíram no decorrer dos anos. Por fim, o estudo destaca que, apesar das ações para ingresso e permanência de pessoas com surdez na UFG, os desafios enfrentados por estudantes surdos na universidade causaram significativa evasão do curso.

Pijat bayi adalah terapi sentuhan tertua dan terpopuler yang dikenal manusia, yang juga merupakan seni perawatan kesehatan dan pengobatan yang dipraktikkan sejak berabad-abad silam. Berdasarkan hasil observasi dan wawancara dengan kader kesehatan di Desa Tondomulyo Kecamatan Jakenan Kabupaten Pati, diketahui jumlah kader ada 12 orang, ibu yang mempunyai bayi sebanyak 30 orang. Perwakilan kader menyampaikan bahwa masih banyak ibu yang tidak mau melakukan pijat secara mandiri, padahal sebelumnya ibu pernah mendapatkan penyuluhan dan praktik tentang pijat bayi yang dilakukan di kelas ibu hamil. Melihat fenomena ini, maka perlu adanya pendekatan melalui kader kesehatan agar mampu mendorong ibu untuk dapat melakukan pijat bayi secara mandiri serta menerapkan komunikasi terapeutik dalam melakukan praktik/ demonstrasi pijat bayi. Metode/pendekatan yang digunakan dalam masalah tersebut adalah dengan melakukan penyuluhan dan demonstrasi. Penyuluhan ini diikuti oleh 12 kader kesehatan. Kegiatan ini dilaksanakan selama 2 kali pertemuan, yang terdiri dari pemberian materi dan juga demonstrasi. Tujuan dari kegiatan ini adalah untuk meningkatkan kemampuan kader kesehatan dalam melakukan komunikasi terapeutik pada kegiatan pijat bayi sebagai salah satu upaya peningkatan kesehatan bayi dan balita. Hasil kegiatan diketahui kader kesehatan sudah mengalami peningkatan pengetahuan dan keterampilan. Diharapkan setelah pengabdian ini, desa perlu dilakukan pelatihan lebih rutin kepada kader terutama dengan tema kesehatan bayi, balita dan anak pra sekolah.

Astronomical Surveys, Catalogues, Archives, Databases and Virtual Observatories
Authors: Mickaelian A. M. , Abrahamyan H. V. , Paronyan G. M. , Mikayelyan G. A.
Published: December 2022

Astronomical surveys and catalogs are the main sources for the discovery of new objects, both Galactic and extragalactic. Archives and Databases maintain billions of astronomical objects; planets, comets, stars, exoplanets, nebulae, galaxies, and quasars. We will review the current background in astronomy
for further all-sky or large-area studies. Modern astronomy is characterized by multiwavelength (MW) studies (from gamma-ray to radio) and Big Data (data acquisition, storage, mining and analysis). Present astronomical databases and archives contain billions of objects observed at various wavelengths, and the
vast amount of data on them allows new studies and discoveries. Surveys are the main source also for accumulation of observational data for further analysis, interpretation, and achieving scientific results. We review the main characteristics of astronomical surveys (homogeneity, completeness, sensitivity, etc.), compare photographic and digital eras of astronomical studies (including the development of wide-field
observations), and describe the present state of MW surveys. Among others, Fermi-GLAST, INTEGRAL (gamma-ray), ROSAT, Chandra, XMM (X-ray), GALEX (UV), DSS1/2, SDSS, Hubble, Gaia (optical), 2MASS, IRAS, AKARI, WISE, Herschel (IR), NVSS and FIRST (radio) surveys and major astronomical archives and databases will be presented and discussed, as well as surveys and databases for variable and transit objects.
The Precise Individual Masses and Theoretical Stability and Habitability of some Single-lined Spectroscopic Binaries
Authors: Algnamat B. S. , Abushattal A. A. , Kraishan A. F. , Alnaimat M. S.
Published: December 2022

Over the past few decades, some Spectroscopic Binaries (SBs) have been resolved using high-resolution techniques. Astrophysics is interested in this subject because we can obtain the mass of each component. By combining a visual solution with a complimentary one, such as the spectroscopic orbit or Edward method, we can determine the individual masses, semimajor axes, magnitudes, spectral types, radii, and temperatures. These provide the most probable physical parameters for some single-lined spectroscopic binaries. Then We can use these parameters to calculate theoretical the stability and habitability of the system. Additionally, we assume the composite spectrum, the apparent global magnitude, and the parallax (generally the Hipparcos, and recently the Gaia ). The next step is to obtain the spectrum for each components. The Edwards method will be used in this case. As soon as we have two spectra foe two single-lined spectroscopic binaries (HIP 754 and HIP 3841), we can determine each mass based on the magnitude difference, ∆m. For selected samples, we calculate the rest of the physical parameters needed to calculate the theoretical stability and habitability.
Magnetic Field in some Selected Directions of the Galaxy: Sagittarius Spiral Arm
Authors: Andreasyan R. R. , Paronyan G. M. , Suqiasyan A. G.
Published: December 2022

Faraday rotation data on 180 pulsars are used in a detail study of the magnetic field in the direction of galactic longitude 40◦ < l < 70◦, including the Sagittarius spiral arm region. The highly regular magnetic field in northern hemisphere of galaxy is directed to the Sun, when the magnetic field of southern hemisphere is directed from the Sun. We propose that the Sagittarius spiral arm lies mainly to the north of the Galactic plane, while the magnetic field with opposite direction below this plane is the field of the halo of the southern hemisphere of the Galaxy.

Published: December 2022

One of the promising areas of research applicable in astrophysics is the study of the properties of quantum dots (QDs) and quantum wells (QWs) in the IR region of the spectrum. The IR region of the spectrum contains a huge amount of astronomical information. Devices based on GaAs/AlGaAs QWs and Ge/Si QDs can serve as detectors and sources of IR radiation. In the current work, the photoluminescence, absorption, and transmission spectra of these nanoheterostructures were obtained in the near, mid, and far IR ranges using Fourier spectroscopy. Thus, the studied optical properties of QWs and QDs make it possible to use these structures in astrophysics as sources and detectors of IR radiation.
Robotising Existing Astronomical Observatories
Authors: Tuparev G. , Andreasyan H. R. , Jackson Thomas M.
Published: December 2022

Astronomical observatories can be operated either manually or remotely, but both of these options currently have many disadvantages. Manual observatories require real-time staffing by on-site astronomers and technicians, and observation time is often not used optimally. Remote observatories, on the other hand, often make it cumbersome or near-impossible to modify any observing schedules already fed into the system, making reacting to important events like gamma-ray bursts unrealistic. In addition, it is generally expected that the cheapest way to upgrade an ageing observatory is to simply build a new one, but this is not always the case. For many relatively modern observatories, it is possible to convert to a fully robotic mode of operation. In these proceedings, we describe a few straightforward ways to robotise an existing observatory and how to connect it to a network of other robotic observatories. We also discuss the use of inexpensive device controllers, the importance of emergency shut-down procedures, the introduction of local and network schedulers, and the implementation of fully automated observation planning. We finally also describe hardware and software solutions, including an example of how this is currently being applied.
New concept of ground based-space radio interferometer and modern technologies application for deployment simulation of precise petal space reflector
Authors: Bujakas V. I. , Glotov M.D.
Published: December 2022

Radio interferometers make it possible to achieve high resolution of astronomical observations due to the large base of the measuring instrument. The ground-space radio telescope RadioAstron holds the record for angular resolution among radio interferometers, its maximum base was about 340 000. km. The project turned out to be very successful. The new concept is based on the experience of the RadioAstron project and proposes the use of several orbiting radio telescopes that work together in the cm and mm spectral regions. This will further increase the base of the radio interferometer and expand the viewing angle at each current moment of time. Modern technical means make it possible to launch into orbit several identical mirrors operating in the short-wavelength region of the spectrum with an effective area no worse than the effective area of the RadioAstron antenna at a wavelength of 1.35 cm. Thus, the project can be quite budgetary. Now 3D modeling and 3D printing technologies make it possible to speed up and simplify the development of physical models. The manufacture of complex parts used to take days of work. Now we can use 3D printing to make different parts in a matter of hours. In the physical model of a new petal mirror project, we used FDM and LCD printing technologies. The paper discusses examples of manufacturing petal mirror physical model components, limitations and features of these technologies.
A Modern Space Situational Awareness System
Authors: Jackson Thomas M. , Holland H. , Tuparev G. , Steinbatz M. , Promper W. , Weinzinger D.
Published: December 2022

We, Tuparev AstroTech in partnership with Astro Syteme Austria, present a next-generation Space Situational Awareness (SSA) system currently being created for the tracking and characterisation of satellites and space debris in the age of big-data astronomy. Our SSA system will be based on the image processing of white-light images to detect streaks produced by satellites and space debris. These images will be obtained by a network of 20-30 custom and in-house built SSA observatory stations, which will be made operational worldwide over the coming decade. The system will use machine learning algorithms to choose the optimal part of the sky to observe at any given moment, analyse the incoming data on-site and in real-time, and deliver various standardised data packages and science-quality images to be stored on a bespoke central archive capable of storing petabytes of data. With this system, we aim to cover a greater geographical and celestial area than any previous SSA system, to create a scalable system that is both fast and efficient, and to enable access to orders of magnitude more storage capacity and information than any other system currently available, commercial or governmental.
Future Flood Management and Control Policies: A Comparative Study of Europe and Indonesia
Authors: Firdaus Pramudhian , Koestoer Raldi Hendro
Published: December 2022

Human activities have caused changes in land use, climate, and rainfall in the last few centuries, one of which is marked by an increase in the occurrence of floods. Flood events in Europe in the period 1998 – 2009 caused more than 1100 damage and displacement of more than one million people. To overcome this, the European Commission (EC) published the Flood Directive 2007/60/EC (FD) with the aim of reducing and managing flood risks for human health, the environment, natural resources, and economic activities. This paper aims to determine the policies and management of the government and the community towards flood disaster management in the future from the results of research conducted in countries in Europe (Portugal, Slovenia, Serbia, and Bosnia & Herzegovina) and then a comparison is made with conditions in Europe. Indonesia to see the differences and similarities in the perception of the government and the public regarding policies and management of flood events that occur in Indonesia. The provision of infrastructure requires not only technical and financial capacity but also appropriate coordination between different government agencies. Disaster risk reduction through appropriate land use planning and control is an important instrument for securing urban areas from flooding (as a result of a case study in Indonesia). Perceptions of future flood management and control policies require serious attention from various lines, especially within the government as policy makers and the community as implementers in the field.
The Implications of Political Tenure Instability of Elected Local Government Officials on Grassroots Development of Southeastern Nigeria
Authors: H.I. Ugorji , J. Ugwuneke , E.E. Nkwocha
Published: December 2022

Political tenure instability in the Local Government Areas of the elected chairmen and counsellors have been a common phenomenon in Nigeria. This general phenomenon has its beginning from the military era (1966–1998) and has not changed much even with the return of the country to democratic governance in 1999. Nigeria has 36 states and 774 local government areas. Nearly 90% of these local government areas are without chairmen and counsellors. In their place, state governors set up caretaker committees that are now saddled with local governance. This paper provided insights on the causes and effects of this trend on the local government system in particular and grassroots development in general with special reference to the southeastern region of Nigeria. It was concluded that if this practice is not stemmed, particularly as the country’s democracy flourishes, sustainable development goals at the local levels will not be achieved. The paper recommended measures that could be used to put a permanent end to this political quagmire.

Authors: P.C. Okwelle , C.N. Idibia , P.M. Ajie
Published: December 2022

The study investigated milling machine operational skills required by metalwork facilitators for effective production of ready-to-work graduates in tertiary institutions in Rivers state. The study adopted descriptive survey design. The population of the study was 174 respondents which comprised 67 metalwork facilitators (43 lecturers and 24 instructors) and 107 final year students of Metalwork/Mechanical Technology department. No sampling was done as the population was manageable; therefore, census technique was adopted. Two research questions and two hypotheses were formulated. A survey questionnaire was developed to elicit responses from the respondents. The instrument was validated by two experts in the Department of Vocational and Technology Education, Rivers State University, Port Harcourt. The reliability of the instrument was established using Cronbach Alpha Reliability Coefficient which yielded a reliability index of .84. Statistical Mean was used to answer the research questions while standard deviation was used to determine the homogeneity in the responses of the respondent and z-test was used to test the null hypothesis at .05 significance level. The study found among others that skills prepare metalwork facilitators to contribute meaningfully to their area of specialty, help individuals to be outstanding, and prepare graduates to be ready-to-work.

الفرد الديستوبي وتمزق الهوية في مسرح سعد الله ونّوس، دراسة مقارنة
Authors: الخفاجي بسام , القللي محروس
Published: December 2022

يعد المسرح من أعرق النشاطات الإنسانية التي مارسها الإنسان عبر التاريخ، وقد عَبَرَت النصوص التي تعالجُ الواقعَ الإنساني وموضوعاته حدودَ الجغرافيات الأدبية العالمية. وتتعدد الأشكال وتتنوع في مسرح "سعد الله ونّوس (1941-1997)": فمنه الكلاسيكي في مسرحية "ميدوزا تحدق في الحياة، 1964"، والملحمي في مسرحية "مغامرة رأس المملوك جابر، 1971". وتُمثل الديستوبيا "Dystopia" "تيمةً" واعية تتشكل في بناء مسرح سعد الله ونوس. وتتلاقى تيمة "تمزق الهوية الإنسانية" في مسرحه مع أصولٍ "موضوعاتية" متنوعة في المسرح العالمي، وهذا من شأنه أن يعيد خلق وحدة العالم عن طريق ذلك التلاقي الإنساني مع نصوص عالمية، منها لــ: سوفقليس اليوناني (496-405) وهنريك إبسن النرويجي (1828-1906) وجورج برنارد شو الإيرلندي (1856-1950) ويوجين يونسكو الفرنسي (1909-1994)...إلخ. تعالج فكرة البحث تمثّلات "تمزق الهوية الإنسانية" في مسرح سعد الله ونوس وفق المنهج الموضوعاتي المقارن الذي "يحتفي بأي موضوع يتيح تصنيف الأعمال الأدبية إلى مجموعات دون التوقف عند القوميات". ويهدف البحث من خلال إجراءين متكاملين إلى: أولا- استقراءٍ موضوعاتي لتيمة "تمزق الهوية الإنسانية" في مسرح ونّوس، والآخر ويكون في موازاة الإجراء الأول- يتمثل في البحث عن أصول التيمة نفسها في المسرح العالمي، وبخاصة في النصوص التي تُعد أصولا للنوع الأدبي عالميا، بما تحمله من تمثلات "ديستوبية. ونهدف كذلك إلى أن نكون على وعي، ليس فقط بحجم التأثّر أو بكثافةِ المبادلات الفكرية، وتوازيها، بل بضرورة التأويل النقدي المباشر للنصوص الأدبية بعيدا عن المقاصد الواعية للمؤلفين، أو حتى للباحث، وهذا ما تفرضه الرؤية الموضوعاتية على البحث الأدبي المقارن.
البنى الصرفية والإيقاع الشعري
Authors: البعول أ.د. إبراهيم
Published: December 2022

لقد كان لزاما علينا في هذه الدراسة أن ننظر في العلاقة الجدلية بين البنى الصرفية والإيقاع الشعري، انطلاقا من العنوان، وقد وجدنا هذه العلاقة تتشكل في أربعة محاور أساسية؛ وهي البنى الصرفية والوزن العروضي والزحافات والعلل العروضية والضرورات الشعرية والقافية، إذ تجد بين هذه المحاور والبنى الصرفية تعالقا قويًّا من حيث إنّها تتقاطع مع الميزان الصرفي والتغييرات التي تجري على بنية الكلمة من حذف أو زيادة أو إبدال، فضلا عن ضبط بنيتها بالحركات المختلفة والسكون. وقد اجتهدت هذه الدراسة في الكشف عن العلاقة الجدلية بين هذه المحاور والدلالة التي تتشكل منها من جهة، وإحساس الشاعر وشعوره من جهة أخرى. وتؤكد هذه الدراسة أنّ علم العروض يتغذى من علم الصرف في مصطلحاته وضوابطه مع الاحتفاظ بخصوصيته. كما اجتهدت هذه الدراسة في الكشف عن العلاقة القائمة بين البنى الصرفية والإيقاع الشّعري بالكشف عن درجة التكثيف الموسيقي المتشكل من توافق البنى الصرفية والوزن العروضي.
التَّفسيراتُ المخْتَلَقَةُ لأسماءِ البُلْدَانِ

يُعالجُ هذا البحثُ قضيَّة تعليل التَّسمية؛ من خلالِ التَّطبيقِ على جُملةٍ من أسماء البقاعِ، ردًّا على مقولةِ: "الأسماء لا تُعَلَّل"، فالأسماءُ بكلِّ ضُروبِها لها علَّةٌ قائمةٌ في نفسِ واضعِها، سواءً صرَّحَ بها، أم سكتَ عنها، وسواءً وَقَفْنا عليها، أم عَجَزْنا عن تفسيرِها، ولكنَّ نفرًا من مُؤلِّفي معاجمِ البُلْدان لم يستسلموا للعجزِ عن تفسيرِ بعضِ أسماءِ البُلْدان الموغلةِ في القدمِ، والتي حظُّ المنطقةِ العربيَّة منها جدُّ كبيرٍ، فَطَفِقُوا يخترعونَ تفسيراتٍ أسطوريَّةً بعيدةً، إمَّا بربْطِها بأسماءِ بعضِ الغابرينَ من خلالِ أنسابٍ لا زمامَ لها ولا خِطامَ، وإمَّا بِعَرْضِها على معاييرِ الاشتقاقِ العربيِّ مع أنَّ أكثرَها أسماءٌ أعجميَّةٌ. وقد عالجَ الباحثُ المادَّةَ من خلالِ المنهجِ الوصفيِّ التَّحليليِّ، وانتهى إلى رفضِ تلك التَّفسيراتِ الأُسطوريَّة بنوعيْها، لأنَّها بين سلاسلَ نسبيَّةٍ مُختلَقَةٍ، أو لا دليلَ عليها في أحسنِ الأحوالِ، كما أنَّ الاشتقاقاتِ الـمُدَّعاةَ قائمةٌ في مُعظمِها على التكلُّفِ الـمُصْطَنَعِ، وبخاصَّةٍ مع الأسماءِ الأعجميَّةِ، ودعا الباحثُ إلى ضرورةِ التوقُّفِ مَلِيًّا أمامَ تلك التَّفسيراتِ، وبخاصَّةٍ عند الاعتمادِ فيها على أخبارٍ موقوفةٍ على بعضِ الصَّحابةِ، أو مرفوعةٍ إلى الرَّسولِ rـ مباشرةً، وشدَّدَ على ضرورةِ استثمارِ مُنْجَزَاتِ علومِ الحديثِ والجُغرافيا والتَّاريخِ واللِّسانيَّاتِ الـمُقارنةِ، مع أهميَّةِ الاحتكامِ إلى خبراءِ التَّأثيلِ اللُّغويِّ؛ لِتتبُّعِ مَسارِ الكلمةِ لُغويًّا، واسْتِكْناهِ تحوُّلاتِها الصَّوتيَّةِ والدَّلاليَّةِ، وهو ما يُقرِّبُ شُقَّةَ الوُصولِ إلى تفسيرٍ صحيحٍ، يُعانِقُ الحقيقةَ، ويُجافي الخُرافةَ، ويَهدمُ أصنامَ تلك الأساطيرِ.

Authors: Dwi Nurul Huda  , Selly
Published: December 2022

Trikomoniasis atau trich adalah suatu infeksi vagina yang disebabkan oleh suatu protozoa yang disebut trichomonas vaginalis. Trikomoniasis hampir semuanya ditularkan secara seksual. Penyakit ini sering menyerang pada traktur urogenitalis bagian bawah pada wanita maupun pria. Kebanyakan orang malu untuk mengkonsultasikan penyakit kelamin yang dideritanya, karena itu merupakan hal yang sangat pribadi, dan juga terdapat faktor biaya apabila langsung melakukan konsultasi kepada dokter. Dengan sistem pakar ini, pasien yang menderita penyakit tidak malu karena diagnosa penyakit bisa dilakukan sendiri, dan juga bisa menghemat biaya konsultasi. Metodologi yang digunakan untuk pengembangan aplikasi ini adalah metodologi waterfall, alasan nya ialah dikarenakan aplikasi ini dirancang dari nol, sehingga penulis merasa metodologi ini sangat tepat untuk diterapkan dalam proses pengembangan sistem pakar ini. Dan untuk metode perhitungan dalam sistem pakar ini, penulis menggunakan metode certainty factor yang mana metode ini memang biasa digunakan dalam sistem pakar.Dari hasil perancangan, didapatkan suatu sistem yang mampu melakukan diagnosa tentang berapa persen kah kemungkinan seseorang terkena penyakit trikomoniasis berdasarkan dari pilihan gejala-gejala yang dimasukkan oleh pengguna ke dalam program dan sistem pakar ini dibuat menggunakan tools Netbeans IDE 8.0 dan MySQL sebagai Database Management System.
