O papel do humor no cinema do suburbanismo fantástico
Authors: Martins India Mara , Lauria Pedro Artur
Published: September 2021

O subúrbio estadunidense é marcado por um recorte social bastante específico: uma classe média branca, arraigada em um discurso meritocrata e vinculada ao “Sonho Americano”. Sua imagem idílica foi consolidada desde os anos 1950 pelas sitcoms de subúrbio, mas também passou a ser contraposta pelo suburbanismo gótico – gênero literário que também encontrou ambiente fértil no audiovisual. Nestes subgêneros o humor se apresenta de forma dicotômica e contraditória, que pode ser resumido nas seguintes máximas: rir conosco ou rir de nós. Nosso interesse nesse artigo passa a ser na investigação do uso do humor em um terceiro subgênero, este muito mais recente: o suburbanismo fantástico. Definido por McFadzean (2019, p.1) como um conjunto de filmes Hollywoodianos que começaram a aparecer nos anos 1980, onde crianças e adolescentes que vivem no subúrbio são chamados para confrontar uma força fantástica e disruptiva, tais quais E.T. – O Extraterrestre, Os Goonies e De Volta Para o Futuro. O presente trabalho então se aprofunda no papel mercadológico, narrativo e moral do humor nessas narrativas, considerando tanto o seu público alvo, como sua natureza sintática explicitamente reacionária, e que, por isso, contrapõe a natureza subversiva tanto da comédia quanto da fantasia – gêneros que se fundamentam no confronto, respectivamente, das expectativas e das regras do real.
O rapto do riso em O Romance do pavão misterioso
Authors: Fernandes João Paulo
Published: September 2021

A busca por um conceito, definição ou características têm promovido grande parte dos estudos literários, ao longo de uma tradição que se mescla pela contemporaneidade, de modo que não se olhe, contundentemente, apenas pelos vieses da adjetivação, uma vez que simplificaria a subjetividade da literatura, tornando sua linguagem comum, no que se assemelha a outras linguagens não poéticas nem figurativas. Dessa forma, o objetivo principal deste artigo é analisar o riso, que se metamorfoseia ao longo do poema “O Romance do Pavão Misterioso”, de José Camelo de Melo Rezende, multifacetando-se pelo tom trágico legado pela épica grega, compreendido na obra pelo aspecto geográfico e interditos que contradizem o risível como característica primeira do cômico. A articulação teórico-crítica permitiu realizar a leitura da obra, em interface à (de)formação do humor, pelas dualidades e/ou antagônicas proposições ora presentes da narrativa fantástica. Nessa perspectiva, o reforço teórico é oriundo das premissas iniciais de Tzvetan Todorov (2017) à Literatura Fantástica, Vladímir Propp (2002) até as considerações recentes de David Roas (2014). Ainda nesse contexto, vale ressaltar o estudo proposto por George Desmeules (1997), que destaca a ambivalência da categoria a ser analisada. Em linhas conclusivas, pretende-se aproximar o humor e o fantástico que se mostram pelos reversos e deslocamentos, nos quais alteram os sentidos do riso.

Introduction/Objective. Vocal folds are the most common primary site of laryngeal carcinoma. Advancement in diagnostic and therapeutic modalities have provided better prognosis for patients with early glottic carcinoma. We aimed to report the role of videolaryngostroboscopy (VLS) in early diagnosis of vocal fold carcinoma. Methods. Prospective controlled study included 300 dysphonic patients admitted to the tertiary medical center for microlaryngoscopy with biopsy. All patients underwent stroboscopic examination prior to biopsy. VLS findings were classified according to Hirano into four stages, with an adynamic vocal fold segment and absence of vocal fold vibration, suspected for vocal fold carcinoma at stage IV. Histopathological findings have been graded according to Ljubljana classification into simple hyperplasia, abnormal hyperplasia, atypical hyperplasia, and carcinoma in situ. Results. Analysis of VLS findings showed that 41.67% of patients (n = 125/300) had asymmetrical and irregular vocal fold vibration with a mucosal wave reduction (VLS stage III), while an adynamic vocal fold segment and absence of vocal fold vibration (VLS stage IV), suspected for vocal fold carcinoma, was noticed in 17.33% of patients (n = 52/300). Histopathology report showed that vocal fold carcinoma was verified in 5.6% of patients in VLS stage III (n = 7/125), while VLS stage IV carcinoma was detected in 26.92% of patients (n = 14/52). Adynamic segment or entire nonvibrating vocal fold finding predicts early glottic carcinoma with a sensitivity of 66.77%, specificity of 86.4%, and moderate diagnostic accuracy (AUC = 0.844). Conclusion. VLS plays an important role as a timely indicator for microlaryngoscopy with biopsy in diagnosis of vocal fold carcinoma.

Background/Aim. Heart transplantation is the most effective way to treat patients in the terminal stage of heart failure. Endomyocardial biopsy has proven to be a safe and appropriate technique, with little sampling error, and remains, to this day, one of the most commonly used methods for diagnosing acute rejection. In 1990, the International Society of Heart and Lung Transplantation defined a standardized system for grading the severity of acute transplant rejection regarding endomyocardial sampling histopathological analysis. The aim of the study was to assess the morphological, immunohistochemical, and immunofluorescent markers of cell- and antibody-mediated rejection of heart transplants in patients monitored during 2020. Methods. From 31 patients transplanted at the Clinic for Cardiac Surgery of the University Clinical Center of Serbia, endomyocardial biopsy material was obtained, then processed and analyzed at the Institute of Pathology of the Faculty of Medicine, University of Belgrade. Results. The average Transplant Rejection Score (TRS) value was 0.42. The Spearman's correlation test did not show a statistically significant relationship between the TRS value and the difference between the ejection fraction values three and twelve months after transplantation. Conclusion. The mean TRS value obtained in this study suggests dominant cell-mediated graft rejection.
Strategic Nondisclosure in Takeovers
Authors: Li Jing , Liu Tingjun , Zhao Ran
Published: September 2021

We examine takeover auctions when an informed bidder has better information about the target value than a rival and target shareholders. The informed bidder's information is either hard or soft, and only hard information can be credibly disclosed. We show that withholding information creates a winner's curse, thereby serving as a preemption device that deters the rival's participation. In turn, an endogenous disclosure cost arises that induces the informed bidder to optimally withhold favorable information to minimize the acquisition price—breaking down the standard unraveling result, even if his information is always hard. Perhaps surprisingly, stronger competition from the uninformed bidder can reduce the target shareholders' payoff and increase the payoff of the informed bidder while unambiguously improving social welfare. Moreover, “hardened” information can reduce the gains to trade, decreasing welfare, but increasing shareholders' payoff. Our results provide a cautionary note to promoting more competition and more disclosure.

LUZ DE DOCUMENTOS E MEMÓRIAS
Authors: Mori Robert
Published: September 2021

Durante os séculos XIX e XX, a história dos indígenas Araxá esteve circunscrita à lenda da Catuíra ou às narrativas dos memorialistas. Todavia, a partir da leitura de fontes documentais do século XVIII, uma nova perspectiva de compreensão da história se tornou possível. Partindo do cruzamento desses documentos com a lenda e os trabalhos dos memorialistas, apoiados em questões relacionadas ao imaginário e na literatura especializada, percebe-se convergências e divergências entre essas narrativas, o que permite não só uma nova interpretação da história, como também uma possível aproximação entre os Araxá e os Kayapó do sul.

O artigo se propõe a discutir as questões referentes à busca por reconhecimento quilombola, empreendida por moradores da Comunidade negra rural de Helvécia, localizada no Extremo Sul da Bahia, como forma de preservação cultural e física do espaço que ocupam. O processo de busca por reconhecimento abriu algumas fissuras no seio da comunidade, que puderam ser analisadas por intermédio das narrativas orais cedidas por alguns moradores. Dessa maneira, para a elaboração do texto, utilizou-se a História Oral como metodologia, bem como a análise de documentos e da bibliografia, o que nos permitiu discutir as questões referentes à memória coletiva, à História Oral, à escravidão negra e à resistência escrava, bem como questões referentes à luta fundiária empreendida por comunidades negras para obterem acesso à terra.
“INJUSTAMENTE POSSUÍDOS COMO ESCRAVOS”
Authors: Pinheiro Fernanda Domingos
Published: September 2021

As formas de exploração da mão de obra indígena, em especial a escravidão, constituem temáticas pouco exploradas pela historiografia brasileira. Mas, diferente do que se costuma pensar, a escravidão não se reduziu a uma experiência africana. Tampouco a promulgação das leis gerais de libertação puseram fim ao cativeiro dos indígenas e seus descendentes. Em Mariana, um importante núcleo de mineração no interior da América portuguesa, os dispositivos legais não garantiram a liberdade de todos. Essa legilação, contudo, influenciou os processos de redução ao cativeiro, bem como os de resistência a eles, como revelam algumas ações cíveis produzidas na segunda metede do século XVIII.

ENTRE MUSEUS E TUBARÕES
Authors: Candido de Souza Leandro
Published: September 2021

Este artigo tem como objetivo analisar os primeiros anos da produção artístico-cultural de Gontran Guanaes Netto (1933-2017), do momento de sua chegada a São Paulo, em 1950, até sua partida para o exílio parisiense, no final de 1969. O itinerário se inicia com a publicação do “Manifesto Consequência” (1952), passa pelos debates em torno da estética nacional-popular defendida pelo Partido Comunista brasileiro, pela polêmica envolvendo a criação das bienais e museus de arte no país, pela experiência gestionária da Unilabor e se encerra pouco depois de sua primeira exposição individual, ocorrida em 1964. Num segundo momento, pretendemos demonstrar como suas atividades no período integravam um projeto político-cultural que foi pensado e executado, desde o princípio, como contraposição à oligopolização mercantil da arte promovida pela financeirização transnacional dos mercados artísticos latino-americanos no segundo pós-guerra.
ATELIÊ COMO AUTORRETRATO DO ARTISTA
Authors: Dias Elaine , Aquino Gomes Natália Cristina
Published: September 2021

O ateliê de artista foi tema de inúmeras representações na pintura, especialmente nos autorretratos, e também na literatura internacional e nacional. O local de trabalho era o cenário perfeito para afirmação e reconhecimento social do artista e o autorretrato neste espaço era um dos principais gêneros de divulgação de sua imagem. Comumente voltados aos aspectos positivos de sua arte e tendo em vista um modelo já consolidado na história da arte, o ateliê e o autorretrato foram bastante explorados por artistas brasileiros, construindo igualmente sua importância profissional entre os pares e clientes. Já a literatura foi além em sua construção visual, abordando narrativas que enveredaram, na maioria dos casos, para a tragédia intrínseca às suas vidas, culminando em fracassos, morte e suicídio. Analisaremos, assim, as facetas da representação do artista no ateliê no campo das artes, da literatura internacional e dos exemplos brasileiros, explorando suas intenções e diferenças na composição de sua imagem.

The research evaluates the activity of using digital banking in components of the marketing mix of Ukrainian banks, such as «product», «place», «promotion», and «price». The developed methodological approach is based on the analysis of traditional bank's marketing mix elements and their innovative components, mainly digital banking. It has been established that banks, offering a generally standard set of primary products, introduce product innovations quite unevenly. According to the «place» component of the marketing mix, it has been noted that the pace of traditional marketing replacement by banking innovations marketing is slow. Regarding the «promotion» component of the marketing mix, the distribution of the indicators of the bank's activity in the use of social networks is uneven. Facebook is more used than Instagram, and not all banks use YouTube's capabilities. Banks are market leaders that use social networks and the Internet most actively.

Heat exchangers are tools used to transfer thermal energy between two fluids (liquid or gas) by convection and conduction at different level of temperatures. Heat exchangers are the common equipment and employed in many different applications because of ability to withstand high temperatures and compactness. There are no intermixing or leakage occurred between two fluids during the heat transfer process as fluids are separated by walls of heat exchanger. The main objective of this project is to determine the heat exchanger effectiveness in heat transfer performance. This will be done by investigating the performance of five different angles of heat exchanger which are 150,300, 450, 600 and 750. The effectiveness of heat exchanger depends on the convection heat transfer coefficient of the fluid. Besides that, this project also aims to develop some parameters such as Nusselt number, Reynolds number and Prandtl number for evaluating the heat transfer. It is found that the Nusselt Number at angle of 150 is lower compared to angle of 750. Meanwhile, Reynolds number for angle 150 is higher than angle 750 which means that the type of flow produced by angle 150 is turbulent flow while for 750 angle is laminar flow. Hence, the overall result of this project proved that 150 is the best angle for heat exchanger in chimney because of higher velocity, higher volume flow rate, higher density of gas and higher LMTD. The relationship between Nusselt number and Reynolds number between different angles can be observed by plotting the graph using Maple Software.

Published: September 2021

Electrical energy losses are found in any part of the power system. In the power system, it is essential to minimize the real power loss in transmission lines. The voltage deviation at the load buses through controlling the reactive power flow is very important. This ensures the secured operation of power systems regarding voltage stability and the economics of the process due to loss minimization. In this paper, the Modified Artificial Bee Colony (MABC) algorithm is implemented to solve the power system's optimal reactive power flow problem. Generator bus voltages, transformer tap positions, and settings of switched shunt of compensators are used as decision variables to control the reactive power flow. These control variable values are adjusted for loss reduction. MABC algorithm is tested on the standard IEEE-30 bus test system. The results are compared with Firefly algorithm (FA) and Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) algorithm method to prove the effectiveness of the newest algorithm. The power loss results are quite productive, and the algorithm is the most efficient than the other methods such as ABC algorithm and FA algorithm. These results are produced by Matlab 2017b.

The integration of engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) in the food and agriculture industry is now common and rampant among giant food manufacturers to enhance the quality, functionality, and physicality of food products. However, consumers have not been consulted and informed on the use of ENMs in food despite various potential safety and health risks associated with oral exposure of ENMs illustrated from scientific studies. In the European Union, the food law was amended to include provisions on nanotechnology after conducting a public consultation to explore public awareness and perception of nanotechnology. In the absence of a specific regulatory framework for nanofood in Malaysia, this study aims to analyse consumers’ awareness and knowledge of nanofood. The result from the study serves as an invaluable input to the regulatory authority in framing any regulatory reform to regulate nanofood. A survey was conducted using a closed-ended questionnaire distributed online. The result indicates that the awareness and understanding of nanofood are still lacking and not satisfactory.

Employees are the most important asset of organizations. Making them happy with their workplace and the work itself will benefit not only the employees but also the organizations. Employee satisfaction is also based on their awareness of future development. Hence, this paper aims to determine the relationship between job satisfaction and five variables of pay, colleague, management, nature of work and promotion toward individual happiness. Data were collected from 126 respondents from Universiti Teknikal Malaysia Melaka (UTEM), a public higher education institution in Malaysia using simple random sampling. Subsequently, the data were derived using SPSS Version 22.0. The findings indicated that there is a positive relationship between pay, colleague, management, nature of work, and promotion. Based on the results, the nature of work and promotion are the most important factors that influence employee happiness, thus leading to job satisfaction. Moreover, the result from the hypothesis test revealed that there is a significant relationship between pay, colleague, management, nature of work, and promotion. These findings may guide the implementation of policies by human resources or other organization management in a higher education institution. For instance, they may use job happiness (mental well-being) as a predictor of employee behaviors and then formulate recruitment policies that will help maintain employee happiness and satisfaction, thereby helping in employee retention.
Gisela Kriebel: A History of a German War Bride
Authors: Skiles William
Published: September 2021

Among the tens of thousands of GI war brides after the Second World War, a small fraction of them were German women who left their defeated and devastated homeland behind. The war story of Gisela Kriebel explores how her circuitous move from Berlin to Los Angeles, half a world away, meant the virtual severing of family ties and cultural connections that would leave her descendants with scant information about her genealogy and the fate of her family members in the war. Barriers of distance, language, and accessibility of records have made genealogical research particularly difficult concerning this specific population of war brides of defeated nations. The article explores Gisela Kriebel’s family, and specifically how she was conscripted into service in the war, began a career as an interpreter and secretary, and was swept up in two love affairs—one tragic and the other life-long—that, in the end, brought her to Los Angeles. Throughout the article, genealogical sources will be used, such as newly available online military records, to demonstrate how researchers can discover the rich family history of war brides separated from their war-torn homelands.

Authors: Caprara Giovanni
Published: September 2021

RESUMEN: La obra del escritor italiano Leonardo Sciascia es, en su globalidad y en su profundidad, una continua reﬂ exión acerca de las (in)justicias y de la búsqueda de la verdad. En distintas ocasiones, sus palabras se han dirigido hacia algunos episodios bélicos del pasado: las verdades, como también las mentiras, han sido utilizadas por Leonardo Sciascia con el ﬁ n de realizar un verdadero tratado sobre las imposturas surgidas durante los conﬂ ictos civiles. El presente trabajo pretende analizar una de sus obras más polémica, L’Antimonio y marcar las relaciones literarias y culturales que han protagonizado desde esta obra la historia social y civil de España e Italia.ABSTRACT: The work of the Italian writer Leonardo Sciascia is, in its globality and its depth, a continuous reﬂ ection on the (in) justices and the search for truth. On several occasions, his words were directed towards some warlike episodes on the past: truths as lies, have been used by Leonardo Sciascia in order to make a real treatise on the deceptions caused by civil conﬂ icts. This paper aims to analyze one of his most controversial work, L’Antimonio and marks the literary and cultural relations that have shaped the social and civil history of Spain and Italy.
Hacia el traductor de La zucca del doni en Spañol
Authors: Capra Daniela
Published: September 2021

RESUMEN: La Zucca del Doni en Spañol (1551) se publicó tan solo cuatro meses después de la princeps de la Zucca doniana. El traductor es anónimo, pero la calidad del texto traducido, algunas peculiaridades suyas y la fuerte personalidad que el traductor deja entrever nos han inducido a intentar un acercamiento a esta ﬁ gura para dibujar su perﬁ l. Con este propósito investigamos tanto unos datos externos como otros internos al texto, de los cuales emerge una ﬁ gura de hombre culto y sumamente ortodoxo en cuestiones religiosas.ABSTRACT: The Spanish translation of A. F. Doni’Zucca (1551) was published just four months after the Italian editio princeps by the same printer; the translator remained anonymous, in spite of the fact that he shows a strong personality, emerging from the pages of his dedication and from the translation itself. It is our pourpose to approach his portrait, following the traces that he left in is work, but also collecting some extra-textual data. It will emerge the ﬁ gure of a cultivated person, with a deep knowledge of the Holy Scripture and a strong sense of religion.

Authors: Polo José
Published: September 2021

RESUMEN: Transcurridos varios años desde la aparición del trascendente volumen epistolar objeto de comentario, lapso temporal que ayuda a sedimentar los juicios en torno a obra de tanta resonancia dentro del hispanismo, se lleva a cabo un estudio relativamente amplio (nunca exhaustivo, digo) teniendo en cuenta aspectos múltiples sintetizados en los tres conceptos que presiden el subtítulo del trabajo, materializado este en dos entregas: la presente, centrada fundamentalmente en el denso y expresivo prefacio (págs. 9-68) de los dos responsables de la edición, en los índices auxiliares (págs. 371-392) y en determinados asuntos llamativos, diríamos, más bien «ruidosos»; la siguiente, última, se proyectará hacia cuestiones «rutinarias» o menores de los propios textos epistolares (págs. 69-370; cartas entre 1929 y 1964).ABSTRACT: Several years after the appearance of the transcendent epistolary volume subject of comment —time lapse that helps settle judgments about this important work for the Hispanism— is carried out a relatively large (never exhaustive) study taking into account multiple aspects summarized in the three concepts which govern the subtitle of the article, materialized this in two installments: the present, centered mainly in the dense and expressive preface (pp. 9-68) by the responsible editors, in auxiliary indices (pp. 371-392) and certain striking issues that we would say rather «noisy»; the next, the last, will stick «routine» or minor issues about the espistolary texts themselves (pp. 69-370; letters between 1929 and 1964).

Literatura y filosofía en el pensamiento hispano: ¿tragicomedia de Celestina o tragedia de Pleberio?
Authors: Pérez Herranz Fernando Miguel
Published: September 2021

RESUMEN: Se ensaya una lectura ﬁlosóﬁca de La Celestina en el contexto abierto por Miguel de Unamuno: el pensamiento ﬁlosóﬁco español se encuentra diluido en la literatura, en la acción o en la mística y no en sistemas ﬁlosóﬁcos. La Celestina muestra la imposibilidad de comunicación entre los hombres y remite al Goce como fundamento ontológico, epistemológico y ético, en claro contraste con el posterior cogito cartesiano, deﬁ nido como sustancia pensante.ABSTRACT: This paper experiments a philosophical reading of La Celestina in the context created by Miguel de Unamuno: the Spanish philosophical thinking is at that moment diluted in literature, action or mysticism and is not supported by philosophical systems. La Celestina shows the impossible communication between people and refers to Pleasure as an ontological, epistemological and ethical foundation, in a clear opposition to Cartesian cogito, deﬁ ned as a thinking substance.
