Authors: Marín Conesa Isabel , Marín Conesa María Belén , Marín Conesa Ester , Conesa Ferrer María Belén
Published: February 2023

La técnica del doble picado no suele utilizarse en el clarinete por la dificultad que entraña. El objetivo es demostrar que la técnica puede ser desempeñada con el clarinete utilizando las TIC. Se puso en práctica la técnica en 13 clarinetistas con el Título de Grado Profesional o cursando estudios superiores. Estos la estudiaron mediante 29 ejercicios tras realizar una primera grabación de 2 ejercicios. Tras 8 semanas de estudio se realizó la última grabación para ver si la calidad de la técnica era mayor. La implementación de las TIC consistió en el uso de Audacity (para grabar), Sibelius7 (para escribir los ejercicios), ZyMi (para grabaciones y estudio) y los espectrogramas en Sonic Visualiser de los audios pregrabados (para valorar si existe evolución de la calidad del doble picado). Una vez que fueron analizados los espectrogramas y se escucharon las grabaciones en Sonic Visualiser, se observó que en la primera grabación la calidad del doble picado fue bastante deficiente en los registros agudo y sobreagudo de muchos de los participantes. Sin embargo, en la última grabación todos ellos consiguieron realizar los dos ejercicios con gran calidad en todos los registros. Como conclusión, puede decirse que el doble picado puede ser ejecutado por cualquier clarinetista y que, para ello, es muy recomendable la utilización de las TIC. La utilización de ZyMi y Sonic Visualiser permitió ver en los espectrogramas si la ejecución era precisa en cuanto a tempo, calidad del sonido, articulación, duración e igualdad de las notas.

Published: February 2023

The advent of the internet age offers overwhelming choices of movies and shows to viewers which create need of comprehensive Recommendation Systems (RS). Recommendation System will suggest best content to viewers based on their choice using the methods of Information Retrieval, Data Mining and Machine Learning algorithms. The novel Multifaceted Recommendation System Engine (MFRISE) algorithm proposed in this paper will help the users to get personalized movie recommendations based on multi-clustering approach using user cluster and Movie cluster along with their interaction effect. This will add value to our existing parameters like user ratings and reviews. In real-world scenarios, recommenders have many non-functional requirements of technical nature. Evaluation of Multifaceted Recommendation System Engine must take these issues into account in order to produce good recommendations. The paper will show various technical evaluation parameters like RMSE, MAE and timings, which can be used to measure accuracy and speed of Recommender system. The benchmarking results also helpful for new recommendation algorithms. The paper has used MovieLens dataset for purpose of experimentation. The studied evaluation methods consider both quantitative and qualitative aspects of algorithm with many evaluation parameters like mean squared error (MSE), root mean squared error (RMSE), Test Time and Fit Time are calculated for each popular recommender algorithm (NMF, SVD, SVD++, SlopeOne, Co- Clustering) implementation. The study identifies the gaps and challenges faced by each above recommender algorithm. This study will also help researchers to propose new recommendation algorithms by overcoming identified research gaps and challenges of existing algorithms.

Background/Objective: Traumatic injury is consistently the leading cause of death up to middle age and is the largest factor in reducing the United States economic productivity. Currently, there are few murine models that emulate orthopedic polytraumatic injury. Existing models typically require sophisticated vascular access resulting in higher costs. We have identified the need for a simple and easily reproducible model. Therefore, we developed a new polytrauma mouse model which included femoral fracture, quadriceps muscle crush, andhemorrhagic shock.
Methods: Sixty 12-week-old, C57BL/6 female mice were used in this study. Briefly, a mid-shaft femur fracture was surgically induced on the right leg of each mouse and was stabilized by an intramedullary wire. Next, the ipsilateral quadriceps muscle underwent an interval of crushing injury. Then, to create hemorrhagic shock, mice had approximately 400μL removed through the retroorbital sinus. Lasty, mice were resuscitated with intraperitoneal 1.6 ml of saline 90 minutes later. Other mice served as uninjured controls. Splenocytes were harvested in the control group and at 0-, 1-, 4-, and 24-hours post-trauma (n=12/group). Flow cytometric analyses and animal survival were examined.
Results: Of the 48 C57BL/6 mice undergoing the polytrauma model, all survived to their respective time point. There was a significant increase (p<0.05) in neutrophils from the 4-hour cohort compared to the control. There were also significant increases in the 24-hour group in natural killer (NK) cells compared to control (p<0.05), 0-hour (p<0.0001),1-hour (p<0.0001), and 4-hour groups (p<0.05).
Conclusion: The survival of all of the mice shows the effectiveness of this model to emulate non-fatal, poly-traumatic injuries. Additionally, increased levels of neutrophils, and NK cells, along with steady levels of B cells are consistent with the known immunologic traumatic response, further validating this model’s ability to create survivable polytrauma conditions.
Breast Cancer: The Death Sentence: The Socio-economic and Socio-cultural paradox of the underprivileged in Ghanaian Society
Authors: Adjoe Casimir
Published: February 2023

For most rural dwellers, breast cancer is a death sentence. While the concern and discourses of health practitioners and professionals, researchers and analysts may focus on medical attention and the creation of awareness, defined as a deliverance from ‘ignorance’, the personal experience of victims of breast cancer and the members of the community in which they are embedded have a different take. Their focus is more on the origins of the illness and its management in waiting for the ultimate inevitable fate. The paper uses the approach of personal experience and Guttenplan’s categories of consciousness/experiencing, attitude/attitudinizing, and act/action/activity to undertake a somewhat longitudinal examination to investigate the anatomy of the decision-making processes involved in such incidents - socio-cultural and socio-economic -involving personal and family perspectives, facts/experiencing, beliefs, critical decision-making processes and conclusions attendant with the course of management of the disease through a case study. It concludes that the outlook as currently enacted on what creates and causes delayed medical attention may need to be more critically reviewed. It recommends that the acceptance of seeking medical attention for perceived ‘death sentence’ diseases such as breast cancer should first tackle the certainty of ‘cure’ and the solidarity with victims to ‘fight’ and ‘defeat’ the disease rather than on awareness creation based on unexamined and unsupported assumptions of ‘ignorance’ of victims and their communities that make the efforts to tackle the breast cancer menace in Africa not as effective as they could be.
Post-Corona World Revisited: Economic, Political and Social Effects of Covid-19 Pandemic
Authors: ACAR Mustafa
Published: February 2023

Since the beginning of 2020 the world has been experiencing difficult times due the eruption and subsequent effects of a coronavirus called Covid-19. So far it has caused more than 6 million deaths, many more millions active patients and hundreds of millions recovered. More importantly many things in our economic, political, social and academic lives have changed for good. To be fair and balanced, we can talk about both negative and positive effects of Corona. On the one hand, in our so-called “new normal,” government regulations and state interventions became more visible, inflation climbed to record-high levels all over the world, we lost some of our loved ones, and wearing mask became part of our life. On the other hand, sensitivity to hygiene and cleanliness has increased, technological infrastructure and digitalization has been improved tremendously in this process, many educational services started to be offered over the internet, and virtual zoom-meetings became part of our academic life. This article reviews the basic effects of Covid-19 on economic and social life from both perspectives, negative as well as positive.

Published: February 2023

Low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) are most importantly used in the clinical practice for cardio vascular diseases from 1990. The LMWH was a sulfated polysaccharide obtained from animal sources and some in natural especially from marine sources. The actual anticoagulant has the molecular weight about 25000 Daltons which have bleeding as side effect in the cardiovascular diseases. The LMWH are prepared by enzymatic or chemical hydrolysis the length of the heparin chain is reduced and also in same manner the molecular weight also reduced below 10000 Daltons. So, it has main advantage to reduce the bleeding in the cardiovascular diseases. The LMWH eliminated through the renal and it was not given to the patients with renal dysfunction. The LMWH of some product are still in clinical trials in order to reduce its side effects. The commercial LMWH preparation has concentrated in animal sources by killing them and lungs, intestine etc are used to prepare heparin. Here the alternate sources are discussed in order from killing the animal. This review summarizes the importance, difference between commercial heparin and LMWH, mechanism, preparation, LMWH products, clinical trials and LMWH from marine sources, Enzymatic degradation in shrimp species, Preparation of LMW heparin by chemically modified Fractions, Chromatography separation of LMW Heparin are discussed in this review.
Non-Neoformans Pulmonary Cryptococcosis Due to Cryptococcus Laurentii in a Positive SARS-COV-2 Patient
Authors: Luciano Priscilla Duran
Published: February 2023

Non-neoformans Cryptococcus species were formerly considered to be saprophytes and nonpathogenic to humans [1-2]. However, the incidence of Cryptococcus laurentii infections in immunocompromised and immunocompetent patients has been gradually increasing over the last decades [1-2]. During the COVID-19 pandemic, multiple cases of opportunistic bacterial and fungal infections have been reported in patients after a severe SARS-CoV-2 infection. The author reports the first case of opportunistic pulmonary cryptococcosis caused by Cryptococcus laurentii in a severely ill COVID-19 patient who received treatment with Tocilizumab and dexamethasone. This case contributes to the expanding knowledge of emergent secondary infectious complications including opportunistic pathogens after a SARS-COV-2 infection.

Authors: Mallah Fatemeh , Rajabzadeh Farrin , Ebrahimpour Malahat
Published: February 2023

Congenital absence of the vagina with variable uterine development known as Mullerian agenesis. We presented the case of a patient with distal vagina agenesis with presence of proximal vagina and functioning unicornoate uterus. A 13-year-old patient was referred to pelvic floor service due to primary amenorrhea and pelvic pain. She was diagnosed with the distal vaginal agenesis, functional unicornoate uterus and the ectopic right kidney. Rectoabdominal examination revealed segmental vaginal agenesis and a likely atretic cervix with a huge abdominopelvic mass of about 10 cm in size. On exploratory laparotomy, the bladder was completely dilated and the right kidney was ectopic and both kidneys had moderate hydronephrosis. On the left, a unicorn uterus containing blood and clot, and on the right, a non-functional rudimentary horn with a normal fallopian tube was seen. A neovagina was created by dissection of the space between the urethra hyatus and rectum in laparatomy. It is important to note that the patient may initially present with urinary symptoms and renal signs. Therefore, in the symptoms of urinary tract obstruction, mullerian anomalies should be considered.
Esophageal-Pleural Fistula: the Cause or Effect of Recurrent Pneumonia?
Authors: Asadzadeh Aghdaei Hamid , Sadeghi Amir , Nouri Gholamreza , Salarieh Naghmeh , Ketabi Moghadam Pardis
Published: February 2023

Esophageal-pleural (E-P) fistula is introduced to be an uncommon clinical finding maybe due to non-specific clinical pointers and vague radiologic clues. In this regard, the main drivers are esophageal traumatization, endoscopic dilation, irradiation and corrosive agent ingestion as well as major underlying esophageal diseases like carcinomas and tuberculosis. The presented case is a 51-year-old man with medical record of recurrent pneumonias resulted in right lobectomy who admitted to the medical institution with a significant empyema leading to chest tube insertion. It should be noted that the presence of food particles in the chest bottle in addition to the history of previous surgery raised suspicion of a post-surgical E-P fistula formation. Attempts were made to find fistula tract and insert an esophageal stent bypassing the fistula opening. However, investigations argued against E-P fistula as an ensuing event after surgery and arose the question that whether E-P fistula would be the cause or effect of pneumonia in the presented case?

Published: February 2023

Subacute thyroiditis is an uncommon thyroid disease which usually occurs after a viral infection. During COVID-19 pandemics, several subacute thyroiditis cases were identified during or after COVID-19. Due to their similar manifestations and high prevalence of COVID-19, subacute thyroiditis might be neglected if the clinicians do not keep it in mind. In this care report, we present a missing patient with SARS-COV-2 infection and subacute thyroiditis which was not suspected until the latent phase of the disease. The patient report can be a re-emphasis on the importance of clinical examination and especially paying attention to palpation of the thyroid gland.

Weed Dynamics in Acid Saline Pokkali Ecosystem of Kerala
Authors: Shaji Jeen , Thomas Deepa , Vighneswaran Veena
Published: February 2023

Background: Pokkali is a versatile rice- fish system of cultivation, producing naturally organic rice along the waterlogged coastal regions of Kerala. The weed flora of Pokkali rice fields is different from other rice ecosystems. Diverse weed flora appears in low saline phase, when rice is cultivated, but they dry up and decompose in high saline phase. With time, significant deviations have been reported in various climatic parameters and as a result, the weed spectrum has also undergone changes. Methods: Two level stratified surveys and anotomical studies were conducted during Kharif 2017 and 2018 to study the weed flora in five major Pokkali growing blocks of Kerala. Two panchayaths (political village units) from each block and two padasekharams (group farming units) in each panchayath were selected for surveying. To understand the adaptive mechanism of weeds in saline soil condition, anatomical studies were performed on individual weed species. Result: Cyperaceae family dominated in the ecosystem with more number of species. Diplachne fusca and Eleocharis dulcis were the major weeds. Echinochloa crus-galli, a dominant weed reported in earlier weed survey was found confined to very few locations and the frequency got reduced from 80% to 12.5%. In addition, Sphenoclea zeylanica was observed as an emerging weed with notable morphological adaptations. Floating ferns like Najas graminea and Hydrilla verticillata caused problems to aeration in the water in fields.

Published: February 2023

Background: The species of the Bunium kinds are aromatic plants with medicinal properties. especially the earth nut. which the fruits are used as aroma.and the leaves and roots consumed as vegetables (Taufel et al. 1993). The present study was conducted in order to valorize its roots by studying the physicochemical and rheological properties of its flour. Methods: The study focuses on tuber nuts from different regions Khenchela. Mostaganem. Relizane.and Tissemsilet (Algeria).and the earth nut roots harvested the months of February (Y-1 2018 and Y 2019). Those latter were initially reduced into smaller particles. followed by milling into flour using a laboratory mill and sieving through a 250-300 ì aperture screen. The flour samples were packed in resealable polyethylene bags. Mix flour is prepared from wheat flour containing varying proportions of BN flour (1. 2. 5. 10. 15. 20. and 50%). Result: The results made it possible to conclude that this gluten-free flour (BF) contains about 7% of proteins; lipid and ash contents are 3.34% and 3.96% respectively. On the sensory level. the color parameters (L *, a *, b *) conclude that there is a significant region effect and the harvest period on the color of the flour. The results reveal that all earth-nut flour (EN) differ significantly (P£0.05) in all the chemical properties investigated. The presence of BF improves P when going from 5 to 50% substitution. improves fat rates. However. it has a negative influence on the W energy. the swelling and the P/L ratio of the dough. This study would suggest that earth-nut flour could be suitably incorporated in wheat flour up to 5%, but at higher doses with gluten-free flours. Mean levels of the metals in samples ranged from 62.91 to 80.08 mg/kg with those of Cu and 0.01 mg/kg with those of Pb, Hg.

Published: February 2023

Background: Artificial Insemination in pigs is much easier than other domestic species but the training of boar for the collection of semen is a big constraint. Certain boars are not acquainted with the fixed steel dummy sow and the surrounding environment. Hence, the dummy sows brought in the boar’s pen. The steel dummy sow in comparison to wooden is too heavy and found difficult to bring in a boar’s pen. Moreover, the wooden dummy sows are locally made and it becomes cost-effective too. The present study was designed to assess the libido and semen quality of boars by using locally made low-cost portable wooden dummy sows. Methods: The study was conducted on 16 numbers of Large White Yorkshire (LWY) and Mizoram local Zovawk crossbred boars at the age of 10-12 months. The semen collection was done by using a homemade portable “wooden dummy sow” and steel made “fixed dummy sow.” The training was done every morning before feeding and semen was collected twice a week by using the gloved hand method when the boars mounted over the dummy sow by holding protruded and erected corkscrew end of the penis firmly. During collection, libido characteristics of the boars were recorded and semen quality was determined. Result: The duration of training taken by the boars for semen collection was significantly (P less than 0.01) less in portable wooden dummies. The sexual behaviour and other behavioural traits were better when boars were trained on a portable wooden dummy. The mean semen volume, sperm mass activity, pH and sperm concentration of LWY crossbred boar was not significantly different between fixed steel and portable wooden dummy. The percentage of initial sperm motility and intact acrosome of boar spermatozoa was significantly (P less than 0.05) higher in portable wooden dummy. In conclusion, the homemade portable “wooden dummy sow” was found to be very effective for the training and collection of semen from breedingboars.

Published: February 2023

Completion of studies by students is the result of the process carried out in the learning process in university. The problem that arises related to this condition is that many diploma students are often late in completing their studies or even dropping out of school. Departments at the university do not have a significant measuring tool in predicting student graduation rates based on the competencies mastered. This paper proposes a program model to predict the basic abilities of Information System Diploma Program students to be mapped in the level of ability in an effort to reduce the delay in the learning process. The method used in the program model was a quantitative method with a K-Means Clustering model approach. The results showed that there was a significant increase in the timely graduation rate for Information System Diploma Program.

The Utilization of Serratia marcescens to Increase Phosphate-Availability and Production of Cucumber in Alfisols
Authors: Abdillah Muhammad Majid , Setiawati Tri Candra
Published: February 2023

Serratia marcescens is a bacterium that can dissolve phosphate (P) in soil, increasing phosphate availability and allowing plants to use it to support plant growth. P-available in the soil is generally low, including in Alfisols, due to the formation of bonds with Al, Fe, Ca, Mg, and other cations, which is influenced by soil pH or clay mineral adsorption. Cucumber plants require adequate nutrients, including P nutrients, for optimal growth and production. The study was carried out in a greenhouse using a completely randomized design (CRD) with four treatments and five replications. The treatments were S. marcescens bacterial solution concentrations of P0 (0 ml); P1 (20 ml); and P2 (20 ml); P3 (60 ml) bacterial colony density: 33x109 cfu/ml. According to the findings of the study, S. marcescens inoculation had a significant effect on increasing soil pH by 6,16, P-total concentration of 41,62 mg/100g, P-available concentration of 28,39 ppm, P-tissue concentration shoot and root were 0,30% and 0,78%, respectively, and P-root uptake of 2,27 g/pot. Similarly, S. marcescens inoculation significantly affected the plant height of 138,72 cm, root volume of 43 ml, and root length of 59,92 cm compared to the control treatment.

Wilson’s disease is a disease that results from a genetic disorder that causes copper accumulation. Wilson’s disease has presented challenges for physicians during the last century, but it can be diagnosed and treated over time. Diagnosing Wilson’s disease is challenging for doctors because of its wide range of clinical manifestations and complexity. Studies that can help diagnose Wilson’s disease include a 24-hour copper urine examination and neurological tests, such as a CT scan or MRI, and liver function tests. There is also a scoring system to help medical personnel diagnose this disease. Correct diagnosis and adequate therapy can be provided, such as penicillamine, trientine, zinc, and, most rarely, liver transplantation. It is also necessary to monitor the side effects of treatment and its effectiveness of treatment. When receiving therapy, Wilson’s disease has a better prognosis than if it is not treated.

Published: February 2023

Introduction: HIV AIDS patients who have a CD4 count < 200 cells/uL often complain of respiratory symptoms (Wallace, 1993). The complaint was shortness of breath (62%). Opportunistic infections (IO) in HIV patients are also brought on by a decreased CD4 count of 200 cells/uL (Peters, 2007). HIV/AIDS patients with CD4 < 200 cells/uL have a risk of death of 10.399 (Kusumaadhi, 2021). This study aims to determine the association between CD4 cell count with mortality in HIV patients with shortness of breath at Cendana, Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital Surabaya, during the period of January–December 2020.Methods: This study used a cross-sectional retrospective design. The population in this study were patients diagnosed with HIV at Cendana, Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital, using a total sampling technique. The variables studied were the CD4 counts as the independent variable, and the mortality of HIV patients with dyspnea as the dependent variable. The sample in this study must meet the inclusion criteria, namely, the sample must have a history of CD4 counts in their medical record in the last 2 to 3 months while in Cendana, Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital. Secondary data from medical record data in Cendana, Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital, was used for the research from January to December 2020. Results: A total of 128 HIV patients with dyspnea and a history of CD4 counts in the previous 3 to 4 months were included in the study: 79 (61.7%) males and 49 (38.3%) females. The most common age groups were 31–40 years (33.6%), 20–30 years (32.0%), 41–50 years (23.4%), and > 60 years (2.4%), with no patients under the age of 20. The distribution of the most opportunistic infections were: pneumocystis pneumonia (n = 62), tuberculosis (n = 49), and bacterial pneumonia (n = 17). Patients lived (n = 79) and died (n = 49) in total.Conclusion: There was no significant association between CD4 count and mortality in HIV patients with dyspnea (p-value 0.084 > 0.05).

Este artigo prevê a compreensão das associações existentes entre a narrativa da obra cinematográfica argentina Necrofobia (2014) e a estrutura do cinismo moderno, segundo Peter Sloterdijk (1987), no intuito de analisar como o filme em questão trabalha sua narrativa de horror artístico para a construção da representação do horror social real.  A partir da análise do cinema como forma de reflexo da sociedade, trabalhada por Siegfried Kracauer (1985), o texto toma a narrativa da obra audiovisual para explorar a relação entre o cinismo moderno que adentrou à sociedade latino-americana e a ideologia fascista que se articula no arco narrativo do protagonista da obra.
LITERATURA, MEMÓRIA E HISTÓRIA
Authors: Vinhas Luciana
Published: February 2023

O artigo reflete sobre a obra Vista Chinesa, de Tatiana Salem Levy, com base na teorização sobre o testemunho, a memória e a história. A narrativa toma como ponto de ancoragem o estupro sofrido pela personagem principal, que relata aos filhos, através de uma carta, toda a cena envolvendo a situação traumática e as tramas indefinidas entre passado-presente-futuro que colocam a vida em suspenso e (des)organizam a temporalidade, o imaginário de si e a linguagem, que tenta falar sobre o impossível. A situação-limite do estupro ganha um corpo verbal sempre em falta que gira ao redor do corpo da mulher.
O FUTURO DE MARTIM
Authors: Lemos da Costa Fabrício
Published: February 2023

Este trabalho pretende refletir sobre a liberdade no romance A maçã no escuro (1961), de Clarice Lispector (1920-1977). Neste estudo, problematizaremos a ideia de liberdade que chamamos de autêntica — desligada de qualquer perspectiva racional, burguesa e capitalista. Trata-se, de acordo com a nossa abordagem, de uma vida livre que se revela futura — por vir —, onde se é possível conviver em alteridade com os seres orgânicos e inorgânicos, não os vendo como mercadoria, mas como intensificadores de experiência.
Palavras-chave: A maçã no escuro, Clarice Lispector, Liberdade, Futuro, Capitalismo.
CENA CONTEMPORÂNEA
Authors: ALFELD ELISABETE
Published: February 2023

Cena contemporânea: o caos textualizado em O mez da grippe (Xavier, 2020) diz sobre o procedimento criativo realizado com recorte de recortes – coleção de fragmentos – para compor a página e situar, dois momentos de crise mundial com reflexos sensivelmente sentidos em nosso país: a primeira guerra mundial e a contaminação pelo vírus da gripe. O objetivo norteador da análise consistiu em verificar como os materiais encenados (fragmentos de notícias de jornais, de documentos, de anúncios publicitários etc.) foram incorporados na criação narrativa. Para isso, centramos o processo de recorte, colagem e montagem segundo as formulações conceituais relativas à pós-produção e às poéticas do século XXI.
NARRATIVAS FOTOGRÁFICAS NA POESIA DE MARÍLIA GARCIA
Authors: Da Costa Ferreira Jailma
Published: February 2023

Apresentamos neste trabalho uma leitura crítica do poema “Parque das ruínas”, da poeta brasileira Marília Garcia, publicado no livro homônimo. A escritora coloca seu texto no limiar entre poema, diário e ensaio, com isso aborda a questão da fotografia como meio de registro capaz de narrar acontecimentos que podem ir além da narrativa da palavra, mas sem antepor uma forma a outra. Temos poesia e crítica adstritas no mesmo compasso narratológico. Para fins de análise, recorreremos aos estudos de Martelo (2012), sobre poesia e imagem; Rezende (2013), acerca da poesia contemporânea; Ludmer (2007), sobre a literatura pós-autônoma; entre outros.
LITERATURA DE FLUXOS MIGRATÓRIOS E GUERRAS
Authors: Mathias Dionei
Published: February 2023

Este artigo tem como objetivo discutir a figuração de guerras, no horizonte de produções ficcionais oriundas do contexto de fluxos migratórios. A primeira parte se dedica a uma discussão teórica, cuja finalidade é problematizar o nexo entre guerras e narrativas identitárias, com base em três pressupostos: (1) guerras precisam de uma mobilização narrativa para eclodir, (2) membros de um grupo precisam mobilizar essa narrativa para a representação do si e (3) guerras modificam substancialmente os fundamentos de narrativas identitárias. Na sequência, o artigo se utiliza da metodologia comparatista para discutir dois romances contemporâneos, escritos em alemão: Tauben fliegen auf (2010) de Melinda Nadj Abonji e Jacob beschließt zu lieben (2011) de Catalin Dorian Florescu.
ALEGORIA E NECROPOLÍTICA
Authors: Pereti Emerson
Published: February 2023

A partir do conceito de alegoria em Walter Benjamin, são propostas, neste artigo, considerações sobre os vínculos entre o desaparecimento de corpos humanos pela ditadura cívico-militar brasileira e pelas políticas de morte empreendidas, durante a pandemia de Covid-19, por seus herdeiros, hoje no poder. O argumento parte da expressão alegórica do cadáver como emblema. Em ambos os contextos, tal expressão se encontraria na própria ausência desses cadáveres. Essa ausência impede o trabalho de luto coletivo. Analogamente, propicia um esquecimento passivo sobre o qual podem se instaurar, novamente, retrocessos antidemocráticos, como os que tomam forma agora, nesta outra fase do neoliberalismo.
TRÊS NOTAS SOBRE UM BRASIL DITATORIAL EM A NOITE DA ESPERA E PONTOS DE FUGA, DE MILTON HATOUM
Authors: Araújo Gomes Camila
Published: February 2023

Este trabalho baseia-se na articulação da teoria da sensibilidade como forma da experiência possível, com a teoria da arte como reflexão da experiência real (DELEUZE, 2015). Desse modo, pretende-se abordar a trajetória ficcional de Martim – protagonista dos romances A noite da espera (2017) e Pontos de fuga (2019), de Milton Hatoum –, que se cruza com a formação nacional do Brasil, evidenciando o mais recente passado ditatorial do País e sua presença espectral no presente. Nesse sentido, a sociedade civil contemporânea assume o dever político-ético de transformar as energias reprimidas por esse trauma histórico em uma sinergia que impulsione a imaginação política brasileira em direção a enquadramentos e reconhecimentos democráticos; construindo, assim, corpos possíveis cujas subsistência e prosperidade sejam oportunizadas e garantidas, ante a precariedade generalizada da vida (BUTLER, 2015).
LITERATURA E HISTÓRIA
Authors: Gonçalves Davi , Mendes Ana Carolina de Sousa
Published: February 2023

No presente artigo, analisamos o romance As Aventuras de Huckleberry Finn (TWAIN, 1982), levando em conta as questões políticas e sociais que o permeiam. Com as contribuições teóricas de Terry Eagleton (1984), Serge Gruzinsky (2001) e Farid Ameur (2010), discutimos como a escravidão e a branquitude se manifestam na narrativa. A justificativa de nossa pesquisa, portanto, se deve ao fato de considerarmos as aventuras vividas pelos personagens Huck e Jim como uma fonte de reflexão rica para quem queira se debruçar sobre questões de costume, crenças, moralismos e escravidão do século XIX, nos Estados Unidos. O narrador de Twain (1982) desenvolve com destreza temas polêmicos, mas muito relevantes ainda na atualidade – seja naquilo que toca as relações entre classes e raças, bem como naquilo que concerne ao divisionismo norte-sul estadunidense.
DO ANTICOLONIALISMO COLONIAL
Authors: Camila Geovanna Alves da Silva
Published: February 2023

Este artigo versa sobre os debates encetados em resenhas críticas da obra de Pierre Loti acerca dos efeitos de sentido da obra do autor. Partindo da presença do discurso colonial que impregna a obra de Loti, promovemos um diálogo com as possibilidades interpretativas elaboradas pelos estudos aqui citados, atentando para as dinâmicas histórico-políticas de dominação epistemológica eurocentrada na intenção de promover a criação metodologias analíticas voltadas à elaboração de contrapedagogias da dominação epistêmica no âmbito da crítica e da análise literárias.
LUTAR É PRECISO
Authors: Brandão Neto Geraldo , Pachêco de Souza Abilio
Published: February 2023

A literatura de testemunho traz discussões pertinentes acerca da necessidade de que os discursos suprimidos pela história oficial venham à luz e assim a voz daqueles que sofreram com a opressão seja escutada. Importante como forma contra histórica, isto é, como oposição ao discurso oficial dos órgãos reguladores de poder, testemunhar é a maneira que se tem de apresentar que um fato histórico não apenas possui uma voz que ecoa, mas muitas outras que reverberam. Encarando os estudos sobre a Literatura de Testemunho na América Latina como fonte principal de análise deste trabalho, o presente artigo tende a pesquisar como o teor testemunhal se faz presente no romance Torto arado (2019), de Itamar Vieira Júnior. A resistência dos personagens, que ora se pauta pela memória, ora se configura na materialização de sua cultura é o meio pelo qual não apenas eles podem testemunhar sobre o sistema opressor em que estão inseridos, mas também resistir a este sistema. Por isso, BOSI (2002), tende a afirmar que resistência é, antes de tudo, um conceito ético, e não estético, pois para o crítico resistir é um ato de não ceder a outra força. Ao manter como foco de interpretação a literatura de testemunho, este trabalho compreende que o teor testemunhal, elemento característico presente no romance Torto arado representa os esforços revolucionários dos oprimido. A fim de organizar a coesão conceitual que norteará as reflexões sobre o objeto em questão este texto utilizará os trabalhos de Márcio Seligmann-Silva (2003; 2008) e dos demais teóricos que desdobram seus estudos sobre a Literatura de Testemunho.
HI-FI (1999) E AUGUSTO DE CAMPOS
Authors: Passos Rafael
Published: February 2023

O termo artemídia é responsável por englobar as poéticas interessadas na aventura entre meios e suportes tecnológicos – numa concepção artística pautada na convergência formal entre as expressões. Assim sendo, este artigo, dialogando com a produção teórica advinda dos universos da comunicação e da teoria literária, reflete criticamente a tradução operada por Ivan Cardoso no curta-metragem Hi-Fi (1999) da informação estética contida na poética de Augusto de Campos, hibridizando poesia, música, artes visuais etc. em linguagem cinematográfica, numa dinâmica de abertura, como conceitualizou Eco (1988). Discorreremos, ainda, acerca do panorama pós-utópico (CAMPOS, 1997) da produção artística contemporânea, índice da modernidade.
COMUNIDADE REMANESCENTE DE QUILOMBOLA ILHA DE SÃO VICENTE
Authors: Cruz Edna Sousa , Torres Bianca de Sousa
Published: February 2023

Este estudo ocupa-se em discorrer a narrativa de resistência da comunidade remanescente de quilombo Ilha de São Vicente, em Araguatins/TO. Discorre-se a respeito de sua na luta pela reapropriação de seu território, bem como do processo de construção da identidade quilombola. Norteada pela metodologia da história oral, a pesquisa teve como objeto de estudo relatos orais de uma ativista social quilombola, que exerce papel de liderança em sua comunidade. O corpus da pesquisa compõe-se de depoimento biográfico único, o qual porta experiências e vivências de uma coletividade. A leitura analítica dos dados aponta ser a construção identitária quilombola um processo recente, que teve início a partir da certificação da área territorial do quilombo. A relação afetiva da comunidade com o território é tecida por meio de memórias de lutas, de resistências e militância, sobretudo na mobilização coletiva para comprovar a ligação com uma história portadora de uma ancestralidade comum: a descendência de escravizados.

Self-Organized Criticality of Traffic Flow: Implications for Congestion Management Technologies
Authors: Laval Jorge
Published: February 2023

Self-organized criticality (SOC) is a celebrated paradigm from the 90’s for understanding dynamical systems naturally driven to its critical point, where the power-law dynamics taking place make predictions practically impossible, such as in stock prices, earthquakes, pandemics and many other problems in science related to phase transitions. Shortly thereafter, it was realized that traffic flow might be in the SOC category, implying that conventional traffic management strategies seeking to maximize the local flows can become detrimental. This paper shows that the Kinematic Wave model with triangular fundamental diagram, and many other related traffic models, indeed exhibit SOC, thanks in part to the fractal nature of traffic exposed here on the one hand, and our need to get to our destinations as soon as possible, on the other hand. Important implications for congestion management of traffic near the critical region are discussed, such as: (i) Jam sizes obey a power-law distribution with exponent 1/2, implying that both its mean and variance become ill-defined and therefore impossible to estimate. (ii) Traffic in the critical region is chaotic in the sense that predictions becomes extremely sensitive to initial conditions. (iii) However, aggregate measures of performance such as delays and average speeds are not heavy tailed, and can be characterized exactly by different scalings of the Airy distribution, (iv) Traffic state time-space “heat maps” are self-affine fractals where the basic unit is a triangle, in the shape of the fundamental diagram, containing 3 traffic states: voids, capacity and jams. This fractal nature of traffic flow calls for analysis methods currently not used in our field.
