The Pedagogy of Waiting: A Reorientation to Time with Artists with Disabilities and Creative Growth Art Center
Authors: Gu Min
Published: December 2023

This paper is rooted in my investigation of the artistic processes and practices of artists with disabilities through field observations at Creative Growth Art Center in Oakland, California. Through this investigation, I develop the concept of a pedagogy of waiting, which allows for a consideration of embodied differences. This pedagogy of waiting is conceptualized by and with 1) the everyday artistic processes and practices of artists at Creative Growth; 2) my positionality of being a Chinese art educator and researcher in an art studio, Creative Growth, in the United States; and 3) my conceptual and theoretical exploration with philosophers and disability studies scholars. Among the artists who informed the pedagogy of waiting is Latefa Noorzai, a native Farsi speaker and immigrant to the United States. The temporalities demonstrated through Latefa’s art practice and the pedagogical practice at Creative Growth challenge the normative temporalities in art learning and art making. The pedagogy of waiting is both informed by people with disabilities and as an alternative to able-bodied and able-minded pedagogies.
On the Question of Soul Wounding: Secular Debility, Biopolitics, and Canada's Right to Maim
Authors: Fraser Faye M.
Published: December 2023

Jasbir Puar has demonstrated that the targeted debilitation of entire racialized populations embodies a contemporary illustration of colonialism’s machine.  For Puar, colonizing states exist as biopolitical assemblages of control, the technologies of which instrumentalize a spectrum of debilities and capacities in the service of neoliberal colonialism, which requires maiming populations who are preconditioned for injury to secure sovereign power. This paper stages a conversation with Jasbir Puar to ask what additional insights might be gained about the relationship between colonialism and debility if critical disability scholarship went beyond a Foucauldian biopolitical analysis of the management of life, death, and debility when theorizing colonial violence. This paper thus reads across postcolonial and anti-colonial thought as well as Indigenous theories of trauma to encourage critical disability studies to expand the horizon of its reading practices when engaging these questions. These approaches, I maintain, provide critical insights into sovereign power that biopolitics cannot, including critical attention to non-secular configurations of settler colonial debility that biopolitical theory misses. I aim to show that a locus of Canada’s colonial sovereignty resides in targeted attacks, or “dis-membering,” forms of Indigenous non-secular transcendent self-consciousness—that is, the sanctioned maiming of Indigenous heterogeneous agencies in the service of neocolonial economic designs. In this sense, theories of metaphysics and violence must also be accounted for when attending to debility, colonialism, and sovereign power.
No Use to the State: Phrasing Escape and a Black Radical Epistolary of Disability in Early Twentieth-Century Alabama Prisons
Authors: Khater Micah
Published: December 2023

This article explores how Black women experienced and theorized disability from within Alabama’s prisons in the early twentieth century. Early-twentieth-century custodial prisons were a primary place in which disabled, southern Black women encountered the state. Some women entered prison disabled and many left with disabilities they had not had before. Indeed, disability was a condition of incarceration: a function of its punitive labor demands and the violence used to enforce disciplinary measures. Black women intimately understood and resisted this multifaceted violence and attempted to negotiate with the state for their release. Their handwritten letters, an archive that was unintentionally preserved by the state, demonstrate that incarcerated Black women’s articulation of uselessness was a profound critique of racial, carceral capitalism. Through close reading of recursive strategies, this article examines incarcerated Black women’s textual invocations of unproductivity as a disruption of the binary of metaphor and materiality in racial studies of disability.
Bed/Life: Chronic Illness, Postcolonial Entanglements, and Queer Intimacy in the Stay
Authors: Rhodes Heidi andrea restrepo
Published: December 2023

In the conceptual sculpture titled, I Think We’re Alone Now (Host), Constantina Zavitsanos presents the bed as a site of desire, intimacy, and horizon for the sick/disabled queer body, bringing a multitude of meanings to the notion of “host.” This paper engages this artwork considering the politics and poetics of hosting and “the stay” as queer intimacies are formed in and with bodies—both in the chronicity of pathogenic presence effected through transnational flows of medical coloniality; and as an anti-colonial practice of disalienation, hospitality, and invitation into the erotic and social life lived in the space of the bed. I approach this work of disability scholarship through a feminist understanding that chronic illness is a condition of global entanglement within the colonial and postcolonial milieu of racial capitalism, its afterlives, and its historical traumas. To host challenges the notion that to be chronically sick and bedbound is an existence delimited by isolation and social death produced in the bedbound subject as one denied full entry into the western, liberal, public-political articulation of the human. I reflect on what it means to be a queer, brown, sick/disabled body and turn toward the possibilities of the bed as a material spacetime and hermeneutic for alternative expressions of aliveness through stillness and immobility as the entanglements of our histories and medical conditions also open space for our entangled practices of countermemory and ontological disobedience: how we refuse to be colonized objects of ruin. As settler colonial framings of illness evoke an always-already racialized diagnostic apparatus through which surveillance, impugnment, negation, and alienation are deployed via the medical industrial complex and the medical gaze as a subjugating mode of relation, bedlife is a vital counterpoint to this violence, a portal to crip fugitivity, existential and political affirmation, and connection. Finally, through encountering different artworks, this essay explores the linkages between intimacy and future-making, collapsing the space between queer desire for each other and one another’s bodies, and the particularly queer politics of desire for a world unbound by oppressive structures and the limitations of imposed binaries. Against what disability scholars Eli Clare and Eunjung Kim, among others, have critiqued as the hegemonic imperative toward cure, which seeks to get us out of bed and into capitalism’s racist and ableist coercive temporalities, this paper looks to the bed as a heuristic and material site for a radical politics of feminist carework, queer desire, crip time, and decolonial worldmaking. What it is to want — in all its senses, suggests there is a relevant kind of intimacy between what we are denied as sick and disabled queers in a heterosexist society founded on racial capitalism and colonial regimes of body, self and other—and how we share closeness, cultivating desire for each other and other possible worlds.
Madness/Disability as “Spectral Presence” in The Woman Warrior: Confusing Hegemonic Categories Through a Mad Asian American Modality
Authors: Johnk Lzz
Published: December 2023

Following queer crip theorists like Sami Schalk, Aurora Levins Morales, and Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha, this piece roots genealogies and origin stories of Disability Studies and Mad Studies in women of color feminist scholarship-activism. I offer an analysis of Maxine Hong Kingston’s enactment of a Mad Asian American modality in The Woman Warrior to locate examples of how women of color feminisms shift conceptual, methodological, pedagogical, and activist frameworks on Madness/disability. By thinking together Nirmala Erevelles’ historical materialist perspective on haunting with Yen Li Loh’s conceptualization of The Woman Warrior’s Mad women as “inhuman ghosts” (2018, 231), I assert that Kingston’s Mad Asian American modality blurs distinctions between human/nonhuman, past/present/future, and discourse/matter. Through the stories of Maxine and her family, Kingston engages in what I read as a form of Mad/crip of color critique, calling attention to the failure of whitestream Mad/Disability Studies to examine the entanglement of race, gender, and Madness/disability under the white supremacist settler colonial state. Kingston’s method of blurring reveals that the radical potential of Madness/disability lies in the ways that marginalized bodymind difference generatively confuses binary categories of eurowestern worldview and creates alternative modalities for living, being, and relating outside of white supremacist colonial cisheteropatriarchy.
Mules and Madmen: On the Disabling Habitats of Zora Neale Hurston and Jean Toomer
Authors: Bowen Liz
Published: December 2023

This essay reads the work of two major Harlem Renaissance authors as underacknowledged sites of disability politics and aesthetics, situating this moment in African-American artistic innovation as integral to the literary history of disability and illuminating the theories of disability that shaped these authors' experiments in literary form. Specifically, it argues that texts by Jean Toomer and Zora Neale Hurston were attuned to the intertwined vulnerabilities of Black people disabled by early-20th-century labor exploitation and more-than-human ecologies debilitated by the same industries. These works represent a serious challenge to the long-running myth in white disability studies that claims nonwhite authors have historically distanced themselves from disability for fear of racist pathologization. Toomer’s story “Box Seat,” for instance, positions its protagonist's atypical mental state—represented by voiceover-like internal monologues—as both aesthetically generative and materially responsive to the commercialization of racialized, disabled, and nonhuman spectacle. Meanwhile, Their Eyes Were Watching God’s oft-cited “mule of the world” metaphor finds literal representation in the form of a work-disabled mule, whose appearance in the narrative occasions one of Hurston’s most memorable aesthetic innovations: the incorporation of folklore into the realist novel. For both of these authors, disability represents not only vulnerability to the machinations of racial capitalism, but also creative invention and formal resistance to white-dominated narrative norms. They show that a capacious, ecologically oriented disability politics is central to the history of Black cultural production.
Abnormal Abilities: Black Women and the Production of Able-Bodied Normalcy in Thylias Moss’s Slave Moth
Authors: Orsak Sarah L.
Published: December 2023

This article offers an alternative genealogy for disability accounts of normalcy by analyzing American poet Thylias Moss’s 2004 neo-slave narrative in verse, Slave Moth. While disability scholars have historically understood normalcy and able-bodiedness as synonymous, ability is not always normative for Black women. Although Slave Moth’s narrator Varl is putatively able-minded, her enslaver positions her as abnormal because she is literate. Drawing on Black feminist thought, I argue that normalcy describes multiple, seemingly contradictory, measures that operate through racialized standards of proper capacity. Moss illuminates how Black women and girls might inhabit a position of abnormality-ability because she situates abnormality within chattel slavery, making freak shows peripheral to the narrative. The anti-black formation of abnormality-ability mediates the boundaries of ability/disability and normal/abnormal. I address how this occurs in disability scholarship. Research on normalcy and the freak show has argued for the importance of disability as an analytic by relying on blackness as a fungible site of meaning. Ultimately, able-bodiedness becomes normative for white subjects, and disability abnormal, through their frictional relationship to and reliance on Black women’s abnormality-ability. However, Varl illuminates, critiques, and refuses this weaponization of abnormality. Through her embroidery, Varl develops technologies for living in the fissures of both abnormality and able-bodiedness.
“Yanqui-man Put Roots on Her”: Afro-Religiosity and (Dis)abilities in Nelly Rosario’s Song of the Water Saints
Authors: Kim Eun-Jin Keish
Published: December 2023

This essay analyzes (dis)ability at the intersection of colonialism, afro-religiosity, and literary studies to reassess illness and (dis)ability under histories of racialization. I approach Nelly Rosario’s novel Song of the Water Saints (2002) as a “texto montado” (possessed text), following Lorgia García Peña (2016), to suggest an alternative reading of (dis)ability in diasporic texts, particularly in relation to Afro-religiosity and colonial violence. By bringing together the history of colonial erasure of Afro-religiosity and violence against Black and poor women, this essay examines the stages of syphilis on the protagonist’s, Graciela, body and life alongside the material impacts of U.S. occupation of the Dominican Republic (1916-1924). If readers are to take the story of Graciela’s life as one of the erased and unrecorded narratives in the colonial archives, how do we make sense of the otherworldly ontology accessed through (dis)abilities offered toward the end of Graciela’s life? Rosario’s novel is a practice of truth-telling and a resistance against the erasure of Dominican women’s stories of violence and power. Finally, this essay demonstrates the possibilities of bringing together Afro-religious ontologies and disability studies to expand our understanding of (dis)ability as a condition of becoming imbricated within colonial and imperial history.

(Re)centering the Knowledge of Disabled Activists, Poverty Scholars, and Community Scholars of Color to Transform Education
Authors: Brown Lydia X. Z. , Dickens Brianna , Gray-Garcia Tiny (Lisa) , Kulkarni Saili S. , McLeod Lateef , Miller Amanda L. , Nusbaum Emily A. , Pearson Holly
Published: December 2023

This duoethnography weaves the experiences and perspectives of disabled activists, poverty scholars, community scholars of color, and university-based scholars partnering on a teacher preparation professional development project that (re)centers disability and its intersections by (a) reconsidering who creates knowledge, (b) positioning disabled activists, poverty scholars, and community scholars of color as experts with pedagogical authority, and (c) providing opportunities for teacher candidates (current and future teachers) to learn from activists and scholars in accessible, online spaces. The experiences and perspectives of multiply marginalized disabled youth and adults are often ignored and/or discounted in teacher preparation programs. However, one way to re-zone and re-people disability studies in teacher education is by teaching and learning at the intersections of critical race studies and disability studies through cross-coalitional community-university partnerships.

Genre determination of grammatical expression of textual chronotope in regional documents of the 18th century
Authors:   Volgograd State University, Gorban Oksana A. , Sheptukhina Elena M. ,   Volgograd State University
Published: December 2023

The article reveals several current issues of documental linguistics and genre theory – grammatical means of expressing/actualizing textual chronotope in the 18th cent. official documents from the Archive Fund of the Mikhailovsky Stanichny ataman of the State Archive of the Volgograd Region, which are described with the procedure of genre related analysis. By comparing organization and grammatical representation of text chronotope in administrative, informative and registration documents, there was revealed a tendency for typological genre implications defined by the document properties and the character of its narrative structure. In most sources, the reference point relative to which the time of recorded actions and events is determined was established as being explicated: the date of the document is coordinated with the associated verb forms in a performative function. In the texts with a narrative element, verb forms correlate with this reference point or enter into temporal relations with each other, which might actualize in some syntactic constructions: complex sentences with a subordinate clause of time, condition, an explanatory object clause, etc. Although the set of forms varies in the documents, some corresponding regulations were noted in administrative documents as three time spans – preceding, simultaneous and subsequent actions (in military certificates), in informing ones – two time spans – preceding and simultaneous (in reports) or preceding and subsequent (in fairy tales). In non-narrative documents (receipts, statements), single actions or a number of single actions are recorded, they are loosely interconnected by temporary relationships or these relationships are not explicated. Such actions are viewed as belonging to the same time span, grammatical means of temporal characteristics of actions are monotonous.
Emotive metaphorics in the genres of diplomatic discourse: A dynamic aspect (based on the texts of the press conference and interview of Russian foreign minister Sergey Lavrov in 2023)
Authors:   Saratov State University, Balashova Lyubov V.
Published: December 2023

The article presents the analysis of emotive metaphors used by the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation Sergey Lavrov in the genres of interview and press conference in 2023. The research is a continuation of an earlier similar study based on the materials of 2022. The relevance of the topic is determined by the fact that these genres of diplomatic discourse, combining the properties of status-role and relatively personal communication, allow us to identify the aspects of the use of emotive figurative means in achieving the main goal of diplomacy – in approving the course of the country’s foreign policy in the context of a consistent escalation of the “hybrid” (including informational) war of the “collective West” against the Russian Federation in 2023. The purpose of the study is to identify the functional aspects of emotive transfers used by S. V. Lavrov in the studied texts in the dynamic aspect (in comparison with similar transfers in 2022). The research is based on 46 transcripts of the two genres, published from 01.01.23 to 06.06.23 on the official website mid.ru (mid.ru/ru/press_service/minister_speeches). Based on the complex methodology of semantic, discursive, linguocognitive analysis, it was found that in 2023, as in 2022, the Minister regularly uses emotive metaphors in order to draw attention to the most acute and significant, from the state point of view, problems of international relations (escalation of tension in the world, “hybrid” war against Russia, the main source of which is the aggressive policy of the “collective” West”), as well as to express the attitude towards them (in status-role and personal aspects). To solve these problems, S. V. Lavrov not only continues to systematically use reduced, ”undiplomatic” hyphenations (“vulgarisms”), but also more actively attracts bookoriented (“rhetorical”) metaphors. The cognitive and pragmatic functions of emotive metaphorics are most fully realized, as in 2022, in a system of conceptual models, the composition, structure of which and the main trends in development in 2023 are directly related to the solution of topical political and ideological problems.
Latin graphemes Z and V in Internet genres
Authors:   National University of Science and Technology MISIS, Shtukareva Elena B.
Published: December 2023

The article compares the use of graphemes Z and V in written Russian Internet mass media of various genres: traditional (articles of Internet news portals and sites of regional governments), communicative (comments, messages, posts on social networks), marketing (names of brands, advertisements, event announcements, promotional posts) of two time periods, the watershed for which was the political event of February 24, 2022, which became known in the language under the name “military special operation in Ukraine”. We observe the dynamics of change in the semantics of Latin graphemes Z and V: the intensification of these letters continues the tradition of interaction between Cyrillic and Latin as a mechanism for creating occasionalisms and a means of creating expression, on the other hand, reflects such a linguistic phenomenon as the expansion of the semantics of a letter, its acquisition of ideological significance and turning to it as a tool in information war. In some cases, expressive graphemics becomes an effective means of implementing the genre of patriotic appeal, in others, it is used as a tool for expressing civic position, attitude to today’s political events. In the course of the work, general scientific methods of observation, description and comparison, as well as the method of contextual analysis were used.
Peer groups for medical professionals in Ukraine: experience of implementing an innovative format of continuing professional development
Authors: Chernysh Tеtiana , Korolenko Olga
Published: December 2023

The training of medical professionals does not end with graduation – continuing professional development (CPD) should be integrated in the professional life of each medical professional. Peer groups, an innovative format of CPD, were launched in the Netherlands in 1979. Subsequently, in 1980-1990, this format spread to other European countries and became an important method of quality improvement in primary health care. Research on peer groups is rare, and especially for Eastern Europe. The purpose of this study, which is unique for the region and Ukraine, is to describe the context and results of implementation and functioning of the first peer groups in Ukraine among doctors, nurses, and primary care managers. The methodology of the study is a case study, which was implemented through (a) data analysis – a description of the experience that was independently prepared by the facilitators of the newly created peer groups, reflected in text and graphic information on posters, and voiced their stories orally during the Congress of Peer Group Facilitators (October 2021), (b) analysis of facilitators’ publications on social media that highlight their experience, (c) analysis of semi-structured interviews during supervision and organizational meetings on the implementation and development of peer groups, (d) analysis of an expert interview with a Swiss medical doctor who was also involved in the development of peer groups in Ukraine. The results of the study are as follows: more than half of the trained facilitators have created their own peer groups; such groups have been functioning for several years despite COVID-19 and Russia’s full-scale invasion of the sovereign territory of Ukraine. Facilitators and participants of peer groups emphasize not only the educational contribution of peer groups to their profession, but also the social and psychological one. Barriers to the creation and sustainability of peer groups include lack of management support, lack of time, motivation and formal incentives (CPD points). Peer groups as one of the approaches to continuous professional development are gradually creating a culture of learning in healthcare facilities, bringing more trust in the interaction of professionals with each other and improving the quality of care provided.
MSL Role and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs): From Traditional to the Future
Authors:   Università Degli Studi Guglielmo Marconi, Dott. Fabio Landi Veronica Battaglia,
Published: December 2023

Objectives and methods Medical Scientific Liaisons (MSLs) are essential assets for the pharma company. MSLs are scientific experts in a therapeutic area, and their role is to link industry and doctors to disseminate scientific information and gather insights on unmet medical needs. Their role is quite different from others in the industry because based on quality more than quantity; therefore, there still needs to be an evaluation method able to capture in full the potential of the role. This results in MSLs needing to feel more valued and the industry needing to demonstrate the value that MSLs bring to the company. This work aimed to collect all the information available in the literature on metrics and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) currently used for MSL's evaluation. To achieve that, I collected data from trusted and specialized papers, using PubMed as the central database. An interesting factor is the scarcity of published material on the issue, even if the topic is considered central for both industry and MSLs. I also had some interviews with experts in the field. Their contributions were precious because they helped me fill the literature's lack of data. Collecting all the information available helped me better understand the role of the MSL and clearly showed that the current metric system can be improved.
Evaluation of weight alteration in patients undergoing orthodontic treatment in KIST dental hospital
Authors:   Department of Orthodontics, KIST Medical College and Teaching Hospital, Imadol, Kathmandu, Nepal, Shrestha Rosha
Published: December 2023

Introduction: Fixed orthodontic treatment is the most favored treatment of choice of young individuals nowadays who are motivated by a desire to improve appearance.1 Fixed orthodontic treatment usually takes around 1½ to 3 years for its completion and during this duration many dietary restrictions and modifications are advised.2 The changes in dietary patterns might result in an increase or decrease in weight. This present study is conducted to assess the amount of weight loss in patients undergoing fixed orthodontic treatment. Methods: The height and weight of the study population was measured using stadiometer and digital weighing scale respectively. BMI of each individual was calculated. These measurements were taken three times in the duration of the study; first measurement collected pretreatment, second measurement in 1st follow up after starting of fixed orthodontic treatment and the third measurement will be collected in 2nd follow up i.e. after 2 months. The results were tabulated and analyzed with the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences software (SPSS). The mean changes between different parameters in three visits were compared. Results: When we compared the pretreatment weight and weight at 1st follow up statistically significant difference was observed. Similarly, the difference in pretreatment weight and weight at 3rd follow up was found statistically significant. The difference in pretreatment BMI and BMI at 2nd follow up was statistically not significant. Similarly the difference in pretreatment BMI and BMI at 3rd follow up was also statistically not significant. Conclusion: This study confirms the reduction in weight seen in patients undergoing fixed orthodontic treatment in the first month after initiation of treatment. If the nutritional demand and the intake can be monitored during the treatment, proper health can also be maintained for a long run along with the proper treatment outcome.
Firm Productivity, Organizational Choice and Global Value Chain
Authors: Canto Patricia
Published: December 2023

Based upon insights of the global value chain literature, the aim of this paper is to investigate the impact of being a supplier firm on labour productivity. The country of analysis is Italy, historically characterized by a very strong division of labour among firms. We make use of a unique database, which collects information on several organizational, structural and performance variables of a representative sample of more than 3000 Italian manufacturing firms, spanning the period 1998-2006. Our econometric investigation confirms predictions coming from the global value chain literature. By and large, our findings indicate that being a “traditional” supplier is associated with lower levels of productivity in comparison with the ones exhibit by final firms. However, supplier firms that both export a significant percentage of their production and carry out product or process innovations (i.e. the subset of suppliers that we name “advanced suppliers” against “traditional suppliers”) display productivity levels not lower (and, actually, higher) than final firms ones.
Interference with Payment of Remuneration to Court-Appointed Lawyers in a Criminal Procedure
Authors:   Postgraduate Student of the Department of Advocacy of the Kutafin Moscow State Law University (MSAL), Attorney at the Grits and Partners Law Firm, Shorygin Konstantin S.
Published: December 2023

The article explores the procedure of payment of remuneration to the lawyers participating in criminal proceedings as defence counsels by appointment, for defence of the accused and the defendant. Analyzing the provisions of regulatory legal acts regulating the remuneration to the appointed counsel in criminal proceedings and practical examples of their implementation in various constituent entities of the Russian Federation the author identifies systemic problems in the procedure of such payments. Particular attention is paid to significant gaps in legislation and law enforcement practice of the subjects of preliminary investigation, which lead to the emergence of the mentioned systemic problems. Drawing conclusions, the author mentions a necessity to improve the relevant legislation and points out a possibility of reducing the extent of participation of investigators and interrogators in the process of payment to advocates by appointment.

The Use of Strategic Modeling Tools to Assess the Impact of State Initiatives on the Advocacy. Part 1. “Three Horizons of Growth”
Authors:   Attorney of the Moscow Regional Bar Association, Doctoral Student of the National Research University Higher School of Economics, PhD (Law), Nikiforov Aleksandr V.
Published: December 2023

This article considers the possibility of applying one of the strategic modelling tools to assess the impact of government initiatives on advocacy. As such, the author proposes an adapted “Three Horizons” model proposed for the development of commercial organizations by McKinsey. Based on the analysis of the state initiatives in recent years, the conclusion is made about two possible vectors of development of the legal profession: the creation of commercial law entities and the creation of the state bar. Using an adapted “Three Horizons of Growth” model, the author suggests that the state could simultaneously implement the two proposed concepts while aiming at creating a stateowned legal profession. The author’s application of the adapted “Three Horizons of Growth” model to evaluate public policy has not previously been seen before.

Problems of Contesting Agreements with the Attorney in Insolvency (Bankruptcy) Proceedings of Clients
Authors:   Attorney, Presiding Judge of the First Bar Association of the Altai Territory, Council Member of the Bar Association, Zaytsev Vladimir V.
Published: December 2023

In the article the author analyzes the existing judicial practice in cases of contesting legal assistance agreements in insolvency (bankruptcy) proceedings of the client and identifies the most vulnerable terms of such agreements from the point of view of protection of the attorney’s rights to remuneration. Special attention is paid to the position of the courts in assessing the attorney’s knowledge of the client’s financial insolvency and the expected future initiation of bankruptcy proceedings, as a result of which the attorney may be deprived of the remuneration received and, in some cases, may even be held criminally liable. The author sums up that this situation causes irreparable damage to the human rights mechanism in Russia, of which the Bar is an integral part, undermining its reputation and reducing the motivation to ensure the exercise by subjects of their constitutional right to legal assistance. In the author’s opinion, the means of changing the current malicious practice of depriving attorneys of their just remuneration can be the introduction of an additional stage prior to the conclusion of the agreement, i.e. the analysis of the risks of entering into a potentially void transaction, which would allow to protect the attorney, at best, from financial losses and, at worst, from accusations of his complicity in the unlawful reduction of the bankrupt’s assets.

Hora do conto drag e guerras culturais
Authors: Sequeiros Paula
Published: December 2023

Partindo de casos de hora do conto drag em bibliotecas públicas e escolas nos EUA, procura-se a compreensão tanto da defesa da sua existência como dos ataques dirigidos à sua eliminação. Aduz-se um levantamento de situações, recentes em Portugal, dirigidas a intimidar a fruição pública de obras LGBT+, por altura das celebrações do Orgulho. Identificam-se agentes, ideias e ideologias que se têm confrontado em disputas pela hegemonização da censura e pelo mainstreaming da liberdade de expressão na leitura pública com temas e pessoas LGBT+. Ataques a bibliotecas, escolas e livros têm sido sinalizados noutros países, ameaçando direitos e agravando desigualdades sociais. Refere-se a construção de um quadro teórico, a partir de questões e conceitos das ciências sociais e humanidades sobre guerras culturais e sobre a contação drag, para a análise de textos científicos e noticiosos e da auscultação feita a ativistas em Portugal. A finalidade central deste trabalho é entender como e porquê as guerras presentes se centraram no livro e na leitura mediada por bibliotecas. Entendendo como desfinanciamento, censura e ataques com violência convergem para a debilitação da leitura pública e agravam desigualdades sociais, reflete-se sobre como a bibliodiversidade e a liberdade de expressão são requisitos fundamentais, que se vêm tornando mais atuais e prementes, para políticas culturais em democracia

Adaptive learning refers to autonomous interactive systems that adjust their behavior and functionality to environmental changes. The present exploratory research is based on this type of adaptive learning in the tutorial work in the subject of English to promote autonomy considering the macro adaptation process in which a characterization of students was made and a process of micro adaptation in which the main learning styles were stated according to the results of the previous analysis, content management, interfaces and learning routes. This is a case study with statistical support. The results showed that the experimental group managed to see in this model a possibility to promote their autonomy in the tutorial sessions and outside the classroom to recognize strategies, abilities, skills, and values that allow them to advance in their English learning process.
The role of drought-induced proteins in regulating drought tolerance in cereals
Authors:   University of Nevada – Reno, USA, Mengistu Mitiku A. , Cushman John C. ,   University of Nevada – Reno, USA
Published: December 2023

Cereals provide a majority of caloric intake of the human population on earth. Projected population growth will require future increases in global grain production in the coming decades. However, many studies have demonstrated that increasing global warming trends will lead to hotter and drier climates in many areas of the earth’s surface resulting in declines in regional and global cereal production in the future. However, cereals are well adapted to environmental conditions and have developed many drought-adaptive strategies to resist or tolerate water-deficit stress. Among other strategies, such adaptations can be monitored by evaluating changes in protein expression patterns. Large-scale proteomic studies have been aided in recent years by improved availability of genomic, proteomic, and transcriptomic sequence information for most major cereal crops. This chapter will summarize advances made in transgenic engineering or genome editing approaches.

Современная Россия активно стремится повысить свой статус в мировом сообществе, что тесно связано с ростом роли человеческого капитала профессионалов. Это делает особенно актуальной диагностику определяющих качество их человеческого капитала характеристик, вектора их изменений и влияющих на них факторов. Отдельная проблема – насколько это качество связано с социальной и экономической успешностью российских профессионалов, что именно определяет степень этой успешности или, напротив, приводит их к «сползанию» в число бедных. Не менее важным является и сравнение значимых для оценки конкурентоспособности страны особенностей человеческого капитала профессионалов в России и в других странах. Именно этим проблемам и посвящена настоящая монография. Эмпирической базой исследования выступили данные Российского мониторинга экономического положения и здоровья населения (РМЭЗ НИУ ВШЭ), общероссийских опросов Института социологии ФНИСЦ РАН и International Social Survey Programme (ISSP) 2000–2022 гг. Монография является продолжением начавшейся в 2000-х гг. работы группы социологов Института социологии ФНИСЦ РАН под руководством Н. Е. Тихоновой по комплексному осмыслению особенностей социальной структуры российского общества первой четверти XXI века.

Trata-se de uma pesquisa cujo objetivo central foi compreender a história da educação de Água Doce, município localizado no interior do Maranhão, no período compreendido entre 1990 e 2000, sob a ótica de professores. O estudo é desenvolvido sob o amparo teóricos da história cultural e da história oral como metodologia. A coleta dos dados foi realizada mediante entrevistas livres com seis professores, cujas narrativas foram gravadas, transcritas, textualizadas e validadas. A reconstituição histórica da educação de Água Doce permitiu conhecer as condições educativas antes e depois da emancipação desse município, que pertenceu a Araioses até 1994. Os resultados demonstram que no período que antecede a esse marco houve prevalência da educação desenvolvida por professoras leigas ou com parca formação, que não contavam com remuneração adequada e lecionavam em casa particulares ou na paróquia, não existindo reconhecimento dos estabelecimentos educacionais; realidade modificada após a emancipação, quando houve investimento na construção e equiparação de escolas, bem como na realização de concurso público para a vinculação efetiva do corpo docente. Conclui-se que a década de 1990 foi marcante na história da educação de Água Doce por possibilitar avanços educacionais significativos.

Probiotics are live microbes that are used as supplementary feed that work to increase the good bacteria that live in the digestive tract by suppressing pathogenic microorganisms in the intestine so that good bacteria can grow can optimize the feed absorption process. This study aims to determine the effect of adding probiotics as feed additive Against the height and width of the duodenal villi of the laying chicken in early production. Probiotics can nourish the digestive tract and increase nutrient digestibility so that nutrient intake is met for livestock. Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus coagulans as a prophylaxis against bacterial diseases by balancing intestinal microbes, increasing digestibility, and secreting protease, lipase, and amylase enzymes. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of probiotics Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus coagulans on duodenal histomorphology. Twenty-four layers were randomly divided into 4 groups. The control group was not given probiotics, groups P1, P2, and P3 were given probiotics of 2 ml, 4 ml, and 6 ml. Probiotics were given for 14 days. One-way ANOVA showed a significant difference in each group (P<0.05) and continued with the DUNCAN test. The average length and width of the duodenal villi in each treatment showed that the control group was significantly different from the P1, P2, and P3 groups. The P3 group had the highest average length of duodenal villi. The increase in villi height and villi width is due to the increase in short-chain fatty acids induced by probiotics. An increase in the height and width of villi indicates the absorption capacity of the small intestine, the work of digestive enzymes on the intestinal mucosa is more maximal in the intestine with a wider morphological size, so that absorption and growth are better. The conclusion from the research that has been done is that the use of Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus coagulans as probiotics has an effect on the layer duodenal villi which is characterized by an increase in the average length of the duodenal villi according to the increase in the probiotic dose.
A Critical Discourse Analysis on Bvrtan’s Persatvan Rakyat Svkatani
Authors: Akhtabi Petrik Mahisa
Published: December 2023

Bvrtan is a quite unique Indonesian black metal band. Combining humor with the black metal’s dark aesthetic, Bvrtan’s works have been well appreciated by the Indonesian underground scene. In contrast to other black metal practices that shout anti-religion and absolute freedom messages, Bvrtan’s works are identical with social criticism of Indonesian agrarian context. Thus, this study exists to discuss one of Bvrtan’s work entitled Perstavan Rakyat Svkatani. By applying theoretical approach of Fairclough’s critical discourse analysis, the researcher uncovers how Bvrtan’s work is composed of various type of texts, ranging from linguistic, the discursive practice and social contexts. By the theoretical view, the researcher finally found that this work specifically relate to a wider context of Indonesian agrarian problem that involves the pseudo-welfare of farmers. With satirical lyrics and angry expletives, the phrase of “sejahtera matamv” is the pivotal key to understand every dimension of discourse within this work.
Sexual Assault and Trauma as Reflected in Amadu Maddy’s “No Past No Present No Future” (1973) and Zakes Mda’s “The Madonna of Excelsior” (2002)

This study aims to analyze the causes of sexual violence and conduct a critical examination of the traumatic impact of sexual violence as portrayed in Amadu's novel "No Past No Present No Future" and Mda's novel "The Madonna of Excelsior" by incorporating the theories of trauma by Freud, Van der Kolk, and Greenberg as the basis for the analysis. The results of this study reveal that betrayal and negative heterosexual encounters are the causes of trauma and, ultimately, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in Amadu’s novel. Based on these findings, using literary texts that specifically focus on the consequences of sexual violence to educate the public about victims' reactions to rape is highly recommended. This research also suggests that psychology researchers are expected to be able to use the implications of this study to explore further the role of literature in reducing violence, including rape, and creating healthy community life.
