Anesthetic Zombanol: The Horror Effect in the Fabrication of Evil as a Representation of the Other in Movies Based on a True Story
Authors: Alves Werner Almeida
Published: December 2024

This article approaches the claim of truth in the representation of zombies and elements of the Haitian folklore recreated in the American imaginary as a way to reinforce the evil Other through the fictionalization of historical accounts in movies under the umbrella label “Based on a True Story”. The movies in question are White Zombie (1932) and The Serpent and the Rainbow (1988) which claim to be based on factual accounts reported in the non-fiction books respectively The Magic Island, by Seabrook, and The Serpent and the Rainbow, by Davis, as a technique to amplify the horror effect in their viewers, and thus, resulting in the reinforcement of that very representation of the evil Other in the mainstream culture.

Authors: Silva Fernandes Vieira Ana Elisa , Pereira Siqueira Dirceu
Published: December 2024

Na contemporaneidade têm surgido diversos estudos sobre as novas tecnologias e os seus impactos sobre os direitos da pessoa. Nesse contexto, este artigo tematiza as possíveis tensões entre o direito de personalidade à liberdade e a manipulação comportamental realizada pelas mídias sociais por meio do big data. O problema que orienta a pesquisa pode ser assim sintetizado: em que medida há estratégias de manipulação comportamental dos usuários nas mídias sociais e como a literatura estrangeira perspectiva a temática? Parte-se da hipótese inicial de que há um contexto de manipulação on-line dos comportamentos que acarreta tensões aos direitos de personalidade, como o direito de personalidade à liberdade e à autonomia humana. O objetivo geral do estudo consiste em analisar a noção de manipulação on-line e investigar quais perspectivas são formuladas na literatura estrangeira sobre o tema, sob o viés dos direitos da personalidade. O texto está dividido em duas seções que correspondem aos seus objetivos específicos. Na primeira seção apresenta os fundamentos teóricos que conduziram à hipótese inicial. Na segunda seção, analisa os resultados da revisão sistemática da literatura realizada. Utiliza-se o método hipotético-dedutivo e a técnica de investigação de revisão bibliográfica comum na primeira seção, e revisão sistemática da literatura estrangeira na base de dados Web of Science, na segunda seção.
Gigi
Authors: Coutinho Luiz Fernando
Published: December 2024

Partindo das ideias de Thomas Elsaesser, situo o musical Gigi (1958) no contexto da filmografia de Vincente Minnelli. Produzido após uma sequência de melodramas filmados durante os anos 1950, o filme substitui o otimismo habitual dos musicais anteriores do diretor pelo pessimismo dos dramas. Procedendo por uma breve cartografia das obras de Minnelli no período e por uma análise mais aprofundada do filme em questão, defendo que Gigi é um musical fortemente influenciado pelas disposições melodramáticas, argumentando que, na conjuntura da obra de seu cineasta, trata-se de um filme musical revisto pelos melodramas que o antecedem.
Tipologias de comportamento tributário dos municípios baianos: uma análise do efeito do modelo de descentralização fiscal sobre o esforço de arrecadação
Authors: Machado Lopes Roberto Paulo , Portugal Vieira Olga Hianni
Published: December 2024

Este trabalho tem o objetivo de criar um quadro de referência, na forma de tipologia do comportamento tributário municipal, para mostrar o desempenho dos municípios baianos na exploração da sua base tributária. Além disso, busca avaliar quais tipos de transferência (redistributivas ou devolutivas) influenciam mais o desempenho arrecadatório desses municípios. Para proceder à classificação e tipologias dos municípios, utilizam-se a análise de cluster e o método hierárquico aglomerativo. A literatura teórica e empírica sobre descentralização fiscal baseada em transferências e sua relação com o desempenho fiscal dos municípios serve de base para a investigação. A hipótese central é que a classificação dos municípios em melhores e piores arrecadadores dos impostos locais (agrupados quanto ao comportamento tributário) está fortemente correlacionada às transferências redistributivas. O recorte temporal proposto enfatiza o ano de 2022 e atualiza estatísticas fiscais dos municípios baianos do ano de 2023. Os resultados permitiram agrupar os municípios baianos em 4 clusters e associar o esforço de arrecadação ao volume de transferências per capita recebidas. Desse modo, é possível inferir que o desempenho fiscal dos piores arrecadadores é influenciado pelas transferências recebidas. Os achados científicos reforçam a importância do modelo de descentralização fiscal para corrigir o hiato fiscal e reduzir desigualdades regionais. Mostram, no entanto, a necessidade de repensar as elevadas transferências incondicionais, dado que elas abrem espaço para a preguiça fiscal e outras imperfeições.
O discurso contraditório da produtividade como desenvolvimento no campo brasileiro
Authors: Santos Eliana Vieira dos , Conceição Alexandrina Luz , Santos Jânio Roberto Diniz dos
Published: December 2024

O Brasil, nos últimos dez anos, tem se tornado um dos maiores produtores de commodities agrícolas e, paralelamente, um dos maiores consumidores de agrotóxicos. Embora já bastantes explícitas, as consequências trágicas, trazidas pelo uso de agrotóxico; a força do discurso da produtividade, do desenvolvimento, prevalece como condição necessária à aplicação em grande escala do seu uso. Nessa direção, a análise trazida nesse artigo foi desenvolvida no movimento contraditório da realidade concreta em áreas de pequena produção agrícola, em especial a produção do morango, utilizando-se pesquisas bibliográfica, documental, análise de dados, e pesquisa de campo, o que possibilitou demonstrar que o discurso do desenvolvimento para o campo tem se apoiado no uso indiscriminado dos agrotóxicos para promover o aumento da produtividade.

Ilhas de calor superficiais diurnas e noturnas: uma análise representativa das estações seca e chuvosa em Presidente Prudente – SP
Authors: Angeli Giovanna Aparecida Souza , Amorim Margarete Cristiane de Costa Trindade
Published: December 2024

O artigo aborda a formação das ilhas de calor urbanas superficiais (ICUs), tanto diurnas quanto noturnas, em função das alterações no uso da terra e da precipitação durante as estações seca e chuvosa em Presidente Prudente – SP. Para isso, foram utilizadas técnicas de sensoriamento remoto e imagens termais, que permitiram mensurar as variações térmicas, gerar mapas de intensidade das ICU e calcular o Índice de Vegetação por Diferença Normalizada (NDVI), indicador da densidade e do vigor da vegetação. Os resultados mostram que as ilhas de calor superficiais são mais intensas durante o dia e apresentam variações significativas entre as estações, influenciadas por fatores como precipitação e temperatura. Em particular, a baixa precipitação observada em novembro contribuiu para o aumento das temperaturas, intensificando os impactos das ICU.
Interação escalar em ambiente de manguezal: uma análise dos atributos do clima na escala regional e microclimática
Authors: Lima Rafael Augustto Epifanio , Galvani Emerson , Lima Nádia Gilma Beserra de
Published: December 2024

Os manguezais são ecossistemas de transição, onde o ambiente fluvial encontra o mar. Se desenvolve na faixa intertropical do globo, de modo que este ambiente demanda condições de elevadas temperaturas médias e totais pluviométricos para seu desenvolvimento. A vegetação do manguezal atua como um controle do atributo climático, criando uma condição microclimática específica abaixo e acima do dossel. É a partir da diferença entre os dois ambientes que se baseia o estudo multiescalar do clima, onde o ambiente microclimático dentro do bosque sofre influência da vegetação, e esta da dinâmica atmosférica regional que atua acima do dossel. É a partir desta relação entre as escalas do clima que se estrutura a análise multiescalar climática em ambiente de manguezal.

Published: December 2024

Este estudo objetivou examinar as contribuições da produção científica de Georges Bertrand em Geossistema para a análise da Paisagem na Geografia. Para tanto, tece a discussão em torno do conceito de Geossistema transcorrido em Bertrand (1978), Beroutchachvili e Bertrand (1978), Bertrand (2004), Bertrand, Bertrand (2007) e Bertrand (2008). Depreende-se pelo itinerário científico investigado que o lugar da paisagem em Bertrand não é inflexível, é da natureza do método e da epistemologia desse conceito na Geografia Física. A sua contribuição reside em oferecer seis níveis espaciais da paisagem, em integrar a organização dos elementos físico-naturais de forma sistêmica e compatível com as interferências humanas, e da evolução do seu pensamento ao materializar paradigmas pela comunhão a outros conceitos de conhecimento geográfico.
Visual expressions of environmental care in primary school students’ drawings
Authors: Antosa Zariul , Jupriani Jupriani
Published: December 2024

This study analyzed primary school children's drawings from a drawing competition to explore their attitudes towards environmental care. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach, data collection was conducted through observation, interviews, and document analysis. Data analysis was performed using an interactive model analysis technique. The findings reveal that the drawings depict both school and living environments, featuring objects from children's daily activities. The drawings do not fit into a single category, but are a mix of organic, structural, schematic, expressionist, and literary types. The drawing objects were depicted naturally and proportionally using primary colors. The students' visual expressions predominantly used green, red, yellow, and brown, with minimal mixing. The way the drawings are expressed shows the children's personal expressions, but the choice of objects tends to be influenced by adult thinking. The contribution of teachers in developing children's cognitive and skill skills is evident in their drawings, as revealed by interviews with the children regarding the sources of their ideas. Drawing objects reflect children's attitudes, behaviors, and values regarding environmental care, illustrated through scenes such as playing in the schoolyard, family settings, playground objects, school activities, and natural environments. The shapes were naturalistic, simple, overlapping, reclining, and layered with no transparent objects. Their choice of objects and techniques was shaped by their knowledge and experience of nature, with each drawing outlined. Children use drawings to express life events and experiences, so teachers should value these drawings, as research often overlooks children's perspectives in favor of adult viewpoints.
KAPADOKYA BÖLGESİ GELENEKSEL KONUT MİMARLIĞININ TEMEL ÖZELLİKLERİ
Authors: Budak Ayşe
Published: December 2024

Farklı yeryüzü şekillenmesiyle dikkati çeken Kapadokya bölgesinde kendine özgü bir konut mimarlığı da yaratımı da söz konusudur. Bölgenin Osmanlı döneminde hâkim nüfusunu Rumlar oluşturmaktadır. İstanbul’da ticaret yapan Ürgüp ve Mustafapaşalılar, 19. yüzyılın son çeyreğinde azınlıkların elde ettiği haklar çerçevesinde zenginliklerini memleketleri olan bu iki yerleşimde inşa ettirdikleri konutlarda sergilemişlerdir. Dönemin siyasi ortamıyla da bağlantılı olan bu yapılaşmada bölge konutlarının “konak” biçiminde inşa edildiği ve zengin taş işçiliğinin cephelerde sergilendiği dikkati çeker. Ancak bölge mimarisini belirleyen en temel husus malzeme olup, bölgenin kaya oyma mekân geleneği Bizans döneminden itibaren uygulanan ve sürdürülen bir gelenek olarak bölge konutlarına da imza atar. Kayalık yamaçlarda setler halinde yükselen konut geleneğinde avlu ve avlu altı seviyesinde yoğun kaya oyma mekânlar bulunur. 12. yüzyıldan itibaren bölgeye yerleşmeye başlayan Türkler de kendi mahallelerini oluşturmuştur. 20. yüzyılın ilk çeyreğinde gerçekleştirilen mübadele sonucu bölgeden ayrılan Rumların konutlarına bölgeye gelen mübadiller yerleştirilmiştir. Bu değişim de konut mimarlığını etkilemiştir. Bir birinden bağımsız düşünülemeyecek bu etmenlerle bölgedeki konut mimarlığını “Rum konutları” ya da “Türk evi” gibi terimler yerine, Anadolu’nun diğer bölgelerinden farklı bir dili bulunan bölge konutlarının “Kapadokya bölgesi geleneksel konut mimarlığı” olarak adlandırma gerekliliği bu makalede açıklanan konuların başında gelmektedir. Bölge mimarlığında görülen mekânların özellikleri, konut plan tipleri ve yöresel adlandırmaları da örnekler eşliğinde bu çalışmaya eklenmiştir. Halk mimarisi çerçevesinde gelişen bölge konutlarının halk mimarisinin özelliklerini yansıtma şekilleri de yine bu çalışmada ortaya konulmaya çalışılmıştır.

Tomsu, belediyedeki çalışma yıllarından sonra akademiye yönelerek bu alanda da öncü olmuştur. Akademik alanda ürettiği ilk çalışma ise “Bursa Evleri” doçentlik tez çalışmasıdır. 1941 yılında tamamlamış olduğu bu çalışma, Tomsu’nun da ifadesiyle yerel mimarinin tespitinin yapılması ve milli bir mimari inşa edilmesine katkı sunmak amacını taşımaktadır. Tomsu, bu çalışmasında geleneksel Bursa evlerini detaylı olarak incelemiş, kent ölçeğinden yapı elemanı ölçeğine kadar inerek tespitlerde bulunmuştur. Önemli bir belgeleme çalışması olarak nitelendirilebilecek bu çalışma, 1940’ların Bursa’sının geleneksel konut dokusuna dair bir bellek sunmaktadır.
Bu makalede, Leman Tomsu’nun yaptığı çalışmaların niteliğini değerlendirmenin yanı sıra 1940’ların başında çalıştığı Bursa evlerinin günümüzdeki durumuna dair tespitlerinin yapılması amaçlanmıştır. Bu kapsamda ayrıntılı çalışmış olduğu 19 evin yeri tespit edilmiş, günümüzde mevcut olup olmadıkları belirlenmiştir. Bunun için alan çalışmaları yapılmış, arşiv araştırmaları yürütülmüş, sözlü görüşmeler gerçekleştirilmiş ve çok sayıda yazılı kaynak incelenmiştir. Bunların sonucunda, bu yapılardan dördünün günümüze ulaştığı, diğerlerinin ise zaman içerisinde yıkıldığı tespit edilmiştir. Bu yapıların geçirdiği değişimler ve yıkım sebepleri, ortaya koyulmaya çalışılmış, mimarlık tarihi ve koruma bağlamında değerlendirmeler yapılmıştır. Tomsu’nun bu çalışması dönemi için yeni bir mimari pratiğin oluşmasını hedeflerken günümüzde Bursa’nın geleneksel mimarisine ve korunabilme durumuna dair bilgi sunmaktadır. Bu açıdan ele alındığında hem kendi dönemi için hem de günümüz için önemli bir çalışma olduğunu belirtmek gerekir. Leman Tomsu’nun hem uygulama hem de akademik sahada yaptığı çalışmalar, onu Cumhuriyet’in yetiştirdiği öncü kadın bir mimar yapmakta ve çalışmalarını incelenmeye değer kılmaktadır.
Political Propaganda: Indonesian Communism & Anti-Communism in the Mass Media
Authors: Mahadika Alam
Published: December 2024

After the Indonesian reformation, communist and anti-communist propaganda debated each other, and the digitalization of mass media enabled the speed of propaganda transmission, so this research points out that communism still often appears in Indonesian mass media. For the purposes of the research, 260 news items were collected, the data of which was processed using NVivo Pro and RStudio software. Text mining and Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) methods were used and data were analyzed using tools such as Strip Plot, Scatter Plot, Timeline and Word Frequency. The results of this research conclude that in the last few years in Indonesia, anti-communist propaganda has become irrelevant and is no longer a concern. Analysis of the time sequence reveals that anti-communist propaganda consistently occurs in September and October each year. Even repetitive narratives play a role in propaganda. Communist propaganda was tracked through analysis of the frequency of words, news narratives about Marxism and figures of the Indonesian communist movement, and through reports on communist massacres and human rights violations from the end of 2023, to which the Indonesian government provided access.

Published: December 2024

Introduction: The rise of reemerging pathogens such as DENV and CHIKV
presents a major public health threat. With half the global population
at risk, Paraguay experiences particularly high infection rates. Despite
this, data on the seroprevalence of these viruses in this country is
lacking. This study aims to assess the seroprevalence of anti-DENV IgG
and anti-CHIKV IgG among blood donors in Paraguay. Material and Methods:
Serum samples from 546 blood donors across seven regional departments
and Asunción were collected from March to May 2023. Participants filled
out a questionnaire and underwent eligibility screening. Serum samples
were tested for anti-DENV IgG and anti-CHIKV IgG antibodies using
immunoassays. Data were analyzed using IBM SPSS version 23.0. Results:
The median (IQR) age of donors was 34 (26-44), and 47.1% were female.
Anti-DENV IgG prevalence was 87.7%, ranging from 73.7% to 100% by
location, with an age-related association. Donors aged 18 to 25 had a
79.2% seroprevalence, while those over 46 had the highest at 91.5%
(p=0.010). Anti-CHIKV IgG prevalence was 37.2%, with men showing a
seroprevalence nearly 10% higher than women, but no significant
age-related differences were observed. Regional variation in CHIKV
seroprevalence was not significant. Conclusions: This study reveals a
high seroprevalence of both DENV and CHIKV in Paraguayan blood donors.
The high DENV seroprevalence reflects the impact of past outbreaks,
while the notable CHIKV prevalence underscores the effects of recent
outbreaks. Continuous surveillance, improved diagnostics, and effective
vector control measures are essential to mitigate these arboviruses’
impact in Paraguay.

Withanolides and Withaferin A- What’s next in Ashwagandha Research
Authors: P* Krishnan
Published: December 2024

Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera), long valued in Ayurvedic medicine for its adaptogenic properties, has drawn significant
interest due to the therapeutic potential of its key bioactives, withanolides. Among these, Withaferin A is the most studied,
with promising applications beyond stress management, including cognitive health, inflammation, metabolic regulation, and
cancer therapy. Preclinical studies suggest withanolides may promote neurogenesis, protect against neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s, and reduce oxidative stress and inflammation. Withaferin A’s immunomodulatory effects also show
potential for managing autoimmune conditions like rheumatoid arthritis and multiple sclerosis.
Additionally, the synergistic use of Withaferin A with other bioactives such as curcumin is being explored to enhance antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits. Withanolides have shown promise in improving metabolic health by regulating blood
sugar and insulin sensitivity. Advances in delivery methods, such as liposomal and nanoemulsion formulations, are improving
their bioavailability. Withaferin A’s anticancer properties, including its ability to induce apoptosis and inhibit tumor growth,
highlight its potential in future cancer therapies. This review outlines current research and the expanding role of withanolides
in preventive and therapeutic health

The study was carried out during the month of June to August in the year, 2022  in the FGR field in the nursery of Institute of Forest Productivity (IFP), Lalgutwa, Ranchi, Jharkhand (835303), India to find out effective germination techniques to expedite nursery propagation of Chironji, an economically significant non-timber forest produce (NTFP) in red and lateritic zone (RLZ) of eastern India. The research evaluated seven pre-treatments to enhance germination potential using seeds harvested from a Candidate Plus Tree (CPT) in the natural forest of Burdwan Forest Division, West Bengal. The study employed a completely randomized design with four replications, evaluating various germination parameters over a 50-day period. The combination of hot water treatment and mechanical scarification (T6) exhibited highest germination of 87.5% and also outperformed all other pre-treatments in every germination parameter evaluated. It also yielded the highest seed vigour indices (SVI) of 1303.53 (SVI-I) and 109.155 (SVI-II). This method proved to be the most effective for breaking seed dormancy and promoting robust seedling development of Chironji for the prevailing agroclimatic conditions in RLZ of eastern India. The outcomes of this study demonstrate an affordable and swift seed treatment method without relying on costly growth hormones or chemicals contributing to conservation efforts. Given the challenges of seed dormancy in this species, marginal farmers and state forest departments (SFDs) can employ the pre-treatment reported in the study for commercial cultivation of Chironji as well as contributing to conservation efforts of the species.
Daya Simpan Benih Botani Bawang Merah (Allium cepa var. agregatum) Setelah Invigorasi
Authors: Adhinugraha Qudus Sabha , Widajati Eny , Palupi Endah Retno
Published: December 2024

Benih botani bawang merah (TSS) merupakan alternatif bahan tanam dalam budidaya bawang merah.  Penggunaan TSS sebagai bahan tanam memiliki keunggulaan dibandingkan dengan benih asal umbi, antara lain kebutuhan benih yang lebih sedikit, dapat memutus siklus patogen, tidak ada masa dormansi, dan dapat disimpan dalam jangka waktu lebih dari satu tahun. Walaupun dapat disimpan dalam jangka waktu yang lama, namun TSS tetap akan mengalami deteriorasi atau kemunduran yang dapat menyebabkan penuruan mutu benih.   Salah satu upaya yang dapat dilakukan untuk meningkatkan kembali mutu benih adalah dengan perlakuan invigorasi KNO3.  Saat ini peran invigorasi terhadap daya simpan benih TSS masih belum diketahui.  Penelitian ini dilaksanakan Laboratorium Penyimpanan dan Pengujian Mutu Benih IPB University, Indonesia.

The need for more healthy food is increasing in line with population growth and human awareness. The use of fertilizers to increase productivity is a must and the choice of using organic fertilizers can be a solution to answer that need. Human urine has the potential to become liquid organic fertilizer (LOF). The objective of the study was to compare the growth of B. chinensis treated with human urine LOF, NPK fertilizer, and well water as the control, and to determine the best concentration of LOF. This research was conducted experimentally using a complete randomized design (CRD) with three repetitions. The treatments applied in this study were the treatment of LOF concentration variations with doses of 5 ml/1, 20 ml/1, 35 ml/1, 50 ml/1 and 65 ml/1, NPK fertilizer 10 grams/1 and well water. The data from this study were tabled, then analyzed descriptively, ANOVA analysis, and DMRT. The fermented LOF increased N by 0.6%, P2O5 by 0.8%, K2O by 0.9%. It was concluded that the best treatment in the growth of B. chinensis, which was observed from the parameters of width of leaf, height, wet weight, dry weight of plants, was in the treatment of NPK fertilizer 10 grams/1 and followed by LOF treatment 65 ml/1. The number of leaves parameter was less representative in expressing the impacts of LOF treatment, NPK fertilizer, and even the Well Water Treatment.

Porselen izolatör massesinde akışkanlaştırıcı olarak genellikle feldspat kullanılmaktadır. Günümüzde stoneware, seramik sağlık gereçleri, anortit bazlı porselenler, kemik porselenleri, seramik karoları üzerinde yapılan çalışmalar ile çeşitli magnezyum oksit kaynakları ile akışkanlaştırıcı özellik sağlanması yanı sıra mukavemet değerlerinde artış ve sinterlenme tepe sıcaklıklarında yaklaşık 50ᴼC’lik azalma görüldüğü gözlemlenmektedir. Porselen izolatörler için yüksek maliyetli feldspatlara alternatif olarak toprak alkali içeren hammaddelerin ikame edilebilirliği hammadde maliyetinin azaltılmasını ve alternatif ergitici kaynakları oluşmasını sağlayacaktır. Ayrıca porselen izolatörlerin; sinterlenme sürelerinin azaltılması, doğal gaz tüketiminin azalmasını sağlayacağından hem enerji kaynaklarının korunmasını sağlayacak hem de daha çevreci bir üretime imkân sağlayacaktır. Bu çalışmada magnezyum oksit içeren ham maddelerden talk ve manyezit, porselen izolatör bünyesinde %0,5-1 ve 3 oranlarında, feldspat ile ikame ettirilerek teknik özellikleri üzerine etkileri araştırılmıştır. Elektroporselen bünyesinde magnezyum oksit kaynağı olarak talk ve manyezit kullanımın oranının artması ile beraber % görünür gözeneklilik, % su emme, % pişme küçülmesi, deformasyon değerlerinde artış ve % görünür katı yoğunluk, sırsız ve sırlı pişme mukavemeti değerlerinde azalma gözlemlenmiştir.

Published: December 2024

This research aims to investigate ethno-religious conflicts in the Southeast Asia region with a focus on the role of religion (Islam), nationalism, and citizenship issues, as well as to understand the complexity of resolving these conflicts within the framework of ASEAN Way norms. This research combines qualitative approaches and policy analysis to provide a comprehensive picture of the interactions between conflict factors and regional norms. The research methodology includes analysis of ASEAN policy documents and case studies of selected conflicts in the region. Qualitative analysis will be used to explore community perceptions and experiences regarding conflict, while policy analysis will examine how ASEAN Way is reflected in conflict resolution efforts. Preliminary results show that religious factors and nationalism often trigger conflict, while citizenship issues can complicate the dynamics of conflict. The ASEAN Way, which emphasizes the principles of non-intervention, deliberation, and consensus, has limited impact in responding to ethno-religious conflicts. This research will provide insight into how the ASEAN Way can be improved to be more effectively respond the ethno-religious conflict in the region. The implications of this research can also help design more effective conflict resolution mechanism and support sustainable peace in Southeast Asia.
