CONSTRUCTING A SELF BETWEEN IMAGE AND TEXT: READING BECHDEL’S FUN HOME
Authors: Younus Zainab
Published: December 2021

Graphic memoirs offer a visual representation of the relationship between a moment and the construction of memory. McCloud describes the work of the comic author and the reader as a dance between “the seen and the unseen”. This is what makes the medium of graphic memoirs unique, as it “gives so much to its audience while asking so much from them as well” (1993, p. 92). My aim in this paper is to ascertain the impact using graphic conventions has on the effective and affective construction of meaning and identity in Alison Bechdel’s Fun Home: A Family Tragicomic (2006) and howr The Gutter becomes even more significant in graphic memoirs, because the use of panels can fracture the flow of the narrative into the sequenced segments which alternate with the blank spaces of the gutters. These blank spaces represent an effort to redefine the “connections between memory and history, private experience and public life” via a written account and the “act of witness” represented by a combination of the visual and the verbal (Cvetkovich, 2008, 111-20). Using this mix of image and text, Bechdel creates an almost palimpsestic effect as a majority of panels show items layered over other images, indicating a blending between the narrative of Bechdel’s real life experience and the representation of that life experience in the text. For the reader, this can imply a way to address the gaps in knowledge not only for them but also for Bechdel herself.
The “Mumbai Riots” and the Play of Literary Strategies: A Reading of Rahman Abbas’s Rohzin
Authors: Degener Almuth
Published: December 2021

The present paper traces reflections of the 1992-3 Mumbai Riots in Rahman Abbas’s 2016 Indian Urdu novel Rohzin by using instruments of literary criticism. While this novel is overtly a story about the love of two young people, it is also a profoundly political novel bearing on a number of problems faced by the younger generation, especially young Muslims in India. Since politics and aesthetics are enmeshed in the plot, the parts of novel related to the Mumbai Riots show that both plot and literary strategies—focalization, time-frame, flashbacks and flash-forwards—employed by the author carry the political import of the text. Furthermore, the features of Magical Realism in the selected text also have both aesthetic and political impact. The article attempts to shows how literary strategies are employed in support of a multi- religious, politically riven, and secular India.
Rumeur publique et voix des lecteurs dans le discours de la presse sur le vêtement au XIXe siècle
Authors: Sandu Corina
Published: December 2021

Dans la presse spécialisée sur le vêtement au XIXe siècle, le courrier des modes veut assurer une médiation de la rumeur ; dans la presse à grand tirage, le même courrier joue toujours sur la réception du lectorat et le confinement de la rumeur, avec en plus un rôle important prêté aux annonces-réclames expansives et une différenciation du rôle des lecteurs femmes ou hommes. De ce va-et-vient de la parole publique reprise, empruntée, citée, respectée, critiquée, dans une multitude de publications consacrées à la mode, naît la rumeur dont dépend le discours médiatique sur le vêtement. Bien que limité dans cette étude au sujet du vêtement, le discours de la presse du XIXe siècle se montre ouvert à la modélisation par la rumeur publique, ce qui représente, à notre avis, une étape obligatoire dans l’évolution du journalisme moderne. L’impact de l’opinion publique partiellement assumée par le concept de rumeur ne cessera de s’accroître dans la presse moderne et contemporaine.

Published: December 2021

España está inmersa en plena revolución digital. Sus efectos cuantitativos sobre el empleo mantienen un elevado grado de incertidumbre, aunque sabemos que incidirá en eliminación de unos, creación de otros y transformación de muchos más. A partir de las opiniones de protagonistas en los actuales cambios (expertos, empresarios y sindicalistas) y de la literatura especializada, hemos repasado los principales retos que en un horizonte 2025 pueden afectar a España. Partiendo de los puntos débiles y los puntos fuertes del país respecto a la digitalización, hemos evaluado posibles políticas para mejorar la calidad y la cantidad del empleo. Para dar más consistencia al análisis, hemos estudiado las experiencias regulatorias de tres países europeos, Alemania, Francia y Reino Unido, para el caso de las economías de plataforma.
Escola em meio rural e medidas de concentração escolar: o caso da zona geográfica do Pinhal Interior Sul, Portugal (início do século XXI)
Authors: Silva Carlos Manique da
Published: December 2021

O artigo procura analisar o impacto que o encerramento de escolas unitárias e as medidas de concentração associadas (construção de centros escolares) tiveram numa zona geográfica de Portugal Continental – o Pinhal Interior Sul (PIS), território de baixa densidade e rural –, no início do século XXI. O objetivo, mobilizando um conjunto de fontes estatísticas (demográficas e educacionais) e, também, recorrendo às cartas educativas dos municípios, foi o de perceber se esse processo obedeceu a razões sociais, económicas e pedagógicas fundadas na ideia de desenvolvimento rural numa perspetiva integrada. No fundo, que visão de desenvolvimento foi difundida? Aquilo que se conclui é que não só não se inverteu o recuo do mundo rural (intensificou-se, aliás) como a tipologia centro escolar parece não ter aumentado a capacidade pedagógica das escolas.

Aram Satian addressed the issue of the Armenian Genocide in the 21st century by composing “Chinar es[Slim Like a Poplar]” for duduk and symphony orchestra, and “1915” for duduk, chamber orchestra and kettledrums. Both pieces feature the duduk as soloist. The composer intertwined in a masterly manner the timbre of the Armenian folk instrument with the sound of a symphony orchestra, in one case, and a chamber orchestra with kettledrums – in another. Incidentally, the composer had not shown any interest in duduk in his earlier works. Obviously, in the timbre dramaturgy of the composer, duduk associates with the Armenian Genocide, with the suffering and tragic pages in the history of the Armenian people. By concluding his “1915” with the intonations of “Hovareq [Cast a Shade]” (in our opinion, in the lyrics of the song, the ‘indifference’ of the mountains may be perceived as the lack of empathy the world communityhad shown toward the tragedy of Armenians), rather than with the lively intonations of “Yerkingnampel e [The Skies Are Overcast]”, communicating the idea of inventive and peaceful nature of the Armenian people, A. Satian must have had the presentiment of the 44-Day War of 2020, when the world once again remained unresponsive to the woes of Armenians. Therefore, we dedicate this article to the 44-Day Warheroes, the memories of whom will never fade.

O uso de óleos essenciais para o controle de pragas do milho
Authors: Mattos Ana , Krewer Analu , Eccel Camila Eccel , Will Juliano
Published: December 2021

O Brasil é um dos maiores produtores de milho mundial. O clima e o surgimento de pragas são fatores que interferem na quantidade e qualidade desta produção agrícola. No que refere-se às pragas presentes nas lavouras, o seu combate com a utilização de agrotóxicos demonstra-se eficiente, no entanto, se mal-empregados, podem oferecer riscos à saúde humana e ao meio ambiente. Diversos estudos apontam os óleos essenciais como alternativa para substituição ao uso de agrotóxicos. A proposta deste trabalho consistiu em apresentar uma revisão bibliográfica a respeito da eficiência da utilização de óleos essenciais com efeito inseticida e repelente para o combate às diferentes pragas do milho. Os resultados demonstram que o óleo essencial de Baccharis dracunculifolia apresentou efeito inseticida significativo em aplicação contra os insetos; o óleo essencial do alecrim-pimenta  pode ser utilizado como controle alternativo contra o fungo Curvularia; o óleo essencial das folhas de mentrasto apresentou um resultado precoce no controle da lagarta-do-cartucho; o óleo essencial das folhas da aroeira-salso  apresentou eficiência no controle do gorgulho-do-milho, assim como o óleo essencial de cravo-de-defunto também apresentou resultado positivo no combate a esta praga. O óleo essencial de folhas de pimenta-longa possui atividade inseticida contra a lagarta-do-cartucho com eficiência na mortalidade. Os óleos essenciais do marmeleio, velame, aroeira e manjericão apresentou resultados positivos no combate ao besouro-castanho; os óleos essenciais de citronela, tomilho, capim-limão, eucalipto, canela e cravo controlam com eficiência a germinação de conídios e o crescimento micelial  nas sementes do milho. Os óleos essenciais de cravo-da-índia e canela reduziram a incidência de patógenos e os óleos essenciais de cravo-da-índia e tomilho atuaram diretamente no controle do fungo conídio. Ainda, os óleos essenciais de eucaliptos revelaram-se promissores na proteção de plantações quando pulverizados nas mesmas. Ou seja, diversos óleos essenciais apresentaram diferentes aplicabilidades no controle das pragas do milho.

THE E-SQUATTER: AN OUTLOOK ON THE DIGITAL DIVIDE
Authors: ÖKTEM M. Kemal , TUNÇER Mehmet , AKPİNAR İrem Ece , KARPAT Buket
Published: December 2021

Today, “Information and Communication Technologies” is developing rapidly. The development, adaptation and application of technology is important for the efficiency of the administrative and institutional competitiveness between countries. These rapidly developing technologies have affected every segment of the society and brought about a problem about accessibility and they have different reflections in different layers of society. This study first draws a general picture of urban development and slums. In terms of socio-economic conditions, access level, equity, relatively low education, and income levels do not benefit from technology in terms of access to information. Since resources are not distributed equally, qualitative analysis is developed with a sample residing in the shanty area, and significant differences are found in some variables to eliminate the problems that cause obstacles to being an information society and cause a digital divide.
Future OFDM-based Communication Systems Towards 6G and Beyond: Machine Learning Approaches
Authors: Juwono Filbert H. , Reine Regina
Published: December 2021

The vision towards 6G and beyond communication systems demands higher rate transmission, massive amount of data processing, and low latency communication. Orthogonal Frequency Division Modulation (OFDM) has been adopted in the current 5G networks and has become one of the potential candidates for the future communication systems. Although OFDM offers many benefits including high spectrum efficiency and high robustness against the multipath fading channels, it has major challenges such as frequency offset and high Peak to Power Ratio (PAPR). In 5G communication network, there is a significant increase in the number of sensors and other low-power devices where users or devices may create large amount of connection and dynamic data processing. In order to deal with the increasingly complex communication network, Machine Learning (ML) has been increasingly utilised to create intelligent and more efficient communication network. This paper discusses challenges and the impacts of embedding ML in OFDM-based communication systems.
Efeito da densidade de plantio sobre o feijão caupi (Vigna unguiculata (l.) Walp) e sobre as características de um Latossolo na Amazônia Central
Authors: Hara Francisco Adilson dos Santos , Vendruscolo Jhony , Bastos Anilson Lima
Published: December 2021

A densidade plantio e a população de plantas interferem diretamente na produtividade das culturas e é um fator que pode ser facilmente controlado pelo produtor. Sendo assim, o objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a influência da densidade de plantio sobre a cultura do caupi e sobre solo. Os espaçamentos entre linhas de plantio e espaçamento entre covas não influenciaram o rendimento de biomassa, a nodulação e a fixação do nitrogênio atmosférico, no entanto afetaram a produtividade de vagens e de grãos. Em relação as características físicas e térmicas do solo, apenas a umidade do solo foi afetada pelo espaçamento entre linhas, enquanto o espaçamento entre covas influenciou apenas a temperatura do solo. De acordo com os resultados o maior adensamento de plantas com o espaçamento de 0.25 entre covas no espaçamento de 0.5 m entre linhas propiciou maior rendimento de vages e de grãos

Alimentos ou ingredientes funcionais são aqueles que produzem efeitos benéficos a saúde, além de suas funções nutricionais básicas, são caracterizados por ter um valor nutritivo inerente à sua composição química, por oferecer vários benefícios à saúde, além de poder desempenhar um papel importante na redução do risco de doenças crônicas degenerativas. Diante dos inúmeros alimentos considerados funcionais, o colágeno representa de 25-30% das proteínas totais do organismo, sendo que alguns tipos são mais abundantes do que os outros. Analisando então a demanda do mercado atual e visando a praticidade do consumidor, a presente pesquisa possui o objetivo de constatar através de avaliações sensoriais, quais os tipos de suco em pó, para uma bebida instantânea, que mais disfarçou o sabor do colágeno em pó, e se este sabor conseguiria mascarar diferentes marcas de colágenos do mercado. O método utilizado foi por meio de duas análises sensoriais com questionários em escala hedônica de aceitação onde se obteve os resultados em relação ao sabor, aparência, cor, aroma, solubilidade, intenção de compra e avaliação geral. O sabor de bebida à base de colágeno com maior avaliação geral foi a de frutas vermelhas e a marca de colágeno hidrolisado melhor avaliada foi a número 1.

The human body has important digestive organs such as the stomach. One of the stomach diseases that is gastritis or ulcers has indeed begun to be experienced due to a lack of knowledge about the factors that cause gastritis and behavior to prevent the occurrence of gastritis. Gastritis known as ulcer disease is an inflammation or bleeding in the mucosa of the stomach caused by irritants, infections, and irregularities in the diet. The method used is a literature review article by reviewing 7 journals published from 2010-2020 about the effect of fasting on the health of the stomach digestive system conducted in April 2020. The results of changing dietary patterns during fasting cause various changes in the body, especially in the digestive tract. Fasting gives the digestive system time to rest, so it can reduce the risk or cure health problems indigestion. The conclusion is that there is a relationship between diet, knowledge, and stress to the incidence of gastritis. While in the behavior of coffee consumption and sex there is no association with the incidence of gastritis.
Fire Service Summary: Study of the Effectiveness of Fire Service Vertical Ventilation and Suppression Tactics in Single Family Homes
Authors:   UL Firefighter Safety Research Institute, Kerber Steve
Published: December 2021

There is a continued tragic loss of firefighter and civilian lives, as shown by fire statistics. One significant contributing factor is the lack of understanding of fire behavior in residential structures resulting from the use of ventilation as a firefighter practice on the fire ground. The changing dynamics of residential fires as a result of the changes in home construction materials, contents, size and geometry over the past 30 years compounds our lack of understanding of the effects of ventilation on fire behavior (Kerber S. , 2012). If used properly, ventilation improves visibility and reduces the chance of flashover or back draft. If a fire is not properly ventilated, it could result in an anticipated flashover, greatly reducing firefighter safety (Kerber S. , 2012). This fire research project developed empirical data from full-scale house fire experiments to examine vertical ventilation, suppression techniques and the resulting fire behavior. The purpose of this study was to improve firefighter knowledge of the effects of vertical ventilation and the impact of different suppression techniques. The experimental results may be used to develop tactical considerations outlining firefighting ventilation and suppression practices to reduce firefighter death and injury. This fire research project will further work from previous DHS AFG sponsored research (EMW-2008-FP-01774), which studied the impact of horizontal ventilation through doors and windows (Kerber S. , 2010).
