Published: May 2024

Sarcopenia is associated with progressive generalized skeletal muscle weakness, persistent decline in muscle strength, function, and quality of life in the elderly population. The presence of sarcopenia worsens the prognosis of older patients. In this regard, the study of the etiology and pathogenesis of sarcopenia, the identification of early markers for the diagnosis of this disease are relevant areas today. Myokines are secreted by skeletal muscle and play a important role in the regulation of muscle mass and function, metabolic homeostasis. Myokine synthesis disruption may contribute to the development of sarcopenia. In addition, we can see the polymorphism association of various genes with the development of the disease. This review brings together current knowledge about myokines and genetic factors as potential biomarkers for the early diagnosis of sarcopenia.

Background. Forms of glucose metabolism disorders are one of the key processes in the course of cystic fibrosis (CF) and can be variable, starting with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) and ending with cystic fibrosis-related diabetes (CFRD), which is the most dangerous complication, worsening the prognosis and outcome of disease. Decreased lung function and poor nutritional status are the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in patients with carbohydrate metabolism disorders (CMD).
Materials and methods. The study included 85 children with CF. Patients underwent measurement of anthropometric parameters (height, weight) to assess nutritional status (NS), and spirometry test was used to assess pulmonary function (PF). Of these, 78 patients were assessed with an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) at 5 points (0 minutes, 30 minutes, 60 minutes, 90 minutes, 120 minutes) assessing the concentration of venous plasma glucose in mmol/l. The results of the OGTT were assessed in accordance with the diagnostic criteria for CFRD.
Results. According to the Kruskal–Wallis test, the maximum volumetric flow rate during exhalation of 75% FVC (FEF 75) differed between different forms of carbohydrate metabolism (p=0.031). Other indicators of respiratory function didn’t have any significant differences. Using the Mann–Whitney test, pairwise comparisons were performed, so the FEF 75 indicator was statistically significantly lower in the group of children with CFRD than in other groups. There were no statistically significant differences when assessing Z-scores weight/age (WAZ) and height/age (HAZ) depending on the forms of carbohydrate metabolism. However, BMI/age Z-scores (BAZ) were statistically significantly lower in groups of children with CFRD than in other forms of carbohydrate metabolism.
Conclusion. Children with CF in the period of prediabetes don’t have significant impairments in lung function and NS. These disorders are typical for children with CFRD.

NEGOTIATING FEMINIST IDEOLOGY IN ASMA NADIA’S NOVEL ASSALAMUALAIKUM BEIJING (Negosiasi Ideologi Feminis dalam Novel Asma Nadia Assalamualaikum Beijing)
Authors: Rasiah NFN , Bilu La
Published: May 2024

Feminis dan Islam sering dibenturkan sebagai ideologi yang berlawanan. Islam sebagai agama seringkali dipandang sebagai sumber munculnya praktik-praktik ketidakadilan terhadap perempuan. Akhir-akhir ini, ada upaya untuk menghidupkan kembali nilai-nilai Islam untuk memperkuat posisi perempuan, terutama bagi mereka yang lahir dan hidup dalam konteks budaya berbasis Islam. Artikel ini bertujuan untuk mengungkap upaya negosiasi ideologi feminis dalam novel Assalamualaikum Beijing karya Asma Nadia. Feminisme multikultural digunakan sebagai perspektif dalam mengkaji isu ideologi feminis dalam novel dengan asumsi bahwa perempuan tidak diciptakan dan dikonstruksi dengan cara yang sama tetapi bergantung pada latar belakang sosial budayanya. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa novel ini menekankan kemandirian perempuan dengan mendorong mereka melalui pendidikan dan karir untuk melepaskan diri dari masalah ekonomi dan sosial. Namun, kemandirian dan kesetaraan perempuan juga harus didukung oleh nilai-nilai agama (Islam). Tampaknya novel ini melawan stereotip yang menganggap atribut agama (Islam) yang melekat pada perempuan sebagai kurungan atau bentuk subordinasi, seperti hijab dan taaruf, namun atribut tersebut justru menjadi bentuk pembebasan dan otonomi perempuan. Feminism and Islam are often viewed as opposing ideologies. Islam as a religion is seen by feminists as the source of the emergence of fraudulent practices against women. However, in the present decade, feminists have developed their ideas dealing with cultural attributes, particularly about Islamic rule on women. There has been an effort to enliven Islamic values to strengthen the position of women, especially for those who were born and live in an Islamic-based culture. This article aims to reveal the negotiation of feminist ideology in Assalamualaikum Beijing novel written by Asma Nadia. Multicultural feminism is used as a perspective in examining how feminist ideology is negotiated in the novel. The assumption that women are not created and constructed in the same social and cultural circumstances, thereby having a different way to exist in society. The results show that the novel emphasizes women's independence by encouraging women's education and career to liberate themselves from economic and social shortcomings. However, women's independence and equality must also be in line with religious (Islamic) values. It seems that the novel fights against the stereotypes of Islamic attributes attached to women as confinement or a form of subordination, such as hijab and taaruf, these attributes, on the other hand, become a form of women's self-liberation and autonomy.

Addressing global climate change requires a shift to sustainable and renewable energy sources. Utilizing wind power via wind turbines presents a viable remedy. However, because wind patterns are unpredictable and these turbines are located in remote areas, effectively operating wind farms continues to be a difficulty. In this work, we present an integrated system that uses IOT Cloud Service to monitor, connect with, and manage small wind turbines utilizing IoT (Internet of Things) technology. We solve the issues with data collection and control those older turbines without supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems confront by fusing cloud-enabled IoT hubs with on-site sensing units. Our method guarantees effective control of wind energy devices, two-way communication, and real-time monitoring. With an emphasis on utilizing IoT cloud services, this paper offers a thorough examination of the application of Internet of Things (IoT) technology for the monitoring, communication, and control of tiny wind turbines. In decentralized and off-grid energy applications, small wind turbines are vital, and maximizing energy output and guaranteeing long-term sustainability requires optimizing their performance and maintenance. The scalability, flexibility, and real-time capabilities required to efficiently operate small wind energy projects are sometimes absent from traditional monitoring and control systems.

Authors: Usman Habib Muhammmad , Mahmud Muhammad , Yahaya Madaniyyu Sulaiman , Saminu Sani
Published: May 2024

Over an extended duration, small-scale farmers have been contending with the persistent issue of electricity scarcity, which adversely affects crop production, particularly during dry seasons. The dependence on generators, despite being expensive and environmentally harmful due to oil spillage and Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, remains a prevalent yet unsustainable solution. Wind energy emerges as a promising alternative with diverse benefits for farmers, addressing concerns related to irrigation, storage, and water management, ultimately leading to significant yield increases during dry periods. This study investigates the performance of a small-scale wind energy conversion system tailored for the irrigation needs of farmers in arid regions, focusing on Zaria Local Government, Kaduna State, Nigeria as a case study. Utilizing wind speed data from the Nigeria Meteorological Agency (NIMET), the system's electrical parameters, including voltage, current, frequency, and power, were analyzed to assess fluctuations resulting from wind speed variations. Results show significant variability in electrical parameters: wind speed ranged from 3.10 m/s to 9.83 m/s, resulting in fluctuations in generated voltage (98 volts to 250 volts), current (51 amps to 103 amps), frequency (39 Hz to 65 Hz), and power (5.1 kW to 20.6 kW). Converter systems were found effective in stabilizing output for grid integration: the AC/DC converter converted fluctuating AC signals into stable DC output (200 volts, 93 amps), while the subsequent DC/AC inverter produced non-fluctuating AC output (voltage: 200 volts, current: 92 amps, frequency: 50 Hz, power: 18.3 kW). These findings emphasize feasibility of implementing wind energy solutions in remote agricultural areas.

Authors: Valarezo Sevilla Diego , Sarzosa Terán Vanessa , Pinto C. Miguel
Published: May 2024

El gigantismo es una enfermedad rara que se caracteriza por una producción excesiva de hormona del crecimiento (GH) cuando las epífisis aún no se cierran, y tiene una incidencia anual de 8 a 11 casos por millón de habitantes. La mayoría de los casos se deben a un adenoma de la hipófisis, puede ocurrir de forma esporádica o por un factor hereditario, habiéndose encontrado una causa genética en un poco menos del 50% de los casos. El principal síntoma de la enfermedad es un crecimiento anormalmente incrementado, que afecta al sistema músculo-esquelético, y se acompaña de otras morbilidades concomitantes. Analizamos una publicación de 1841 del Dr. Abel Victorino Brandin, en la que describe el caso de una paciente indígena con gigantismo, habitante de una comunidad de Cayambe – Ecuador.  La descripción original del caso es de buena calidad, a pesar del uso de algunos términos que en la actualidad no son políticamente correctos, sintetizando las características de una mujer con hipercrecimiento armónico. Esta contribución busca promover el rescate y reanálisis de casos icónicos de la literatura médica ecuatoriana, para mejorar el entendimiento de la historia de la medicina del país, y en este caso específico en el contexto actual del conocimiento sobre el gigantismo.

Published: May 2024

The research gap in this article is due to lack of religious appreciation in the soul as well as a low level of self-identity among adolescents that occur in many cases. Youth self-identity development programs are much in need as a guide for dealing with the issues of youth involvement in social problems. Therefore, this study aims to present the components of the development model for delinquent adolescent self-identity according to the Islamic perspective based on the consensus of experts. To fulfil a particular set of this objective, we applied the Fuzzy Delphi method with a 7-point Likert scale to obtain the consensus of the expert group. The findings of the study illustrate that all the components of the self-identity development model of delinquent adolescents according to the Islamic perspective, which are the induction set, spiritual development, physical development, and follow-up of the main components, obtain expert consensus with an agreement level of more than 75% percent, the threshold value was less than 0.2 (d<0.2) and the value a-cut exceeds 0.5. Finally, the components of this model could be used as a basis and guide in efforts to develop self-identity of delinquent adolescents according to the Islamic perspective.
Posthumanism in Indonesian Short Stories and their Relevance to the Development of Critical Literacy
Authors: Nugraha Dipa
Published: May 2024

Posthumanism discusses the uncertainty of humankind’s future and the changing perspectives on humanity and life. In the Indonesian context, the issues of posthumans have not been discussed, while the usage of robot and artificial intelligence technologies has been proliferating in the related industry for several years. This article discusses two Indonesian short stories, Andina Dwifatma’s “Linus Damono” (2018) and Erwin Setia’s “Cerita Dua Robot dan Pemuda Penyendiri” (2019). Close reading is used in the data collection and analysis of the two short stories. It reveals that the short stories display non-human subjects' narratives. The two short stories also show non-human subjects that are/ are not humanistic and humans’ (total?) control over non-human subjects. Hence, the two short stories present two contradictory concerns on the projection of the human future: utopia and dystopia. The issues revealed from the short stories are essential to create awareness of the potential benefits and threats of using robotic and artificial intelligence technologies. Furthermore, this article also shows that the two short stories can be used as reading materials to develop critical literacy on posthuman issues.
Buddhist Roots of Ambedkar’s Judicial Philosophy
Authors: Queen Christopher Scott
Published: May 2024

In presenting the final draft of the Indian Constitution to the Constituent Assembly in 1949, drafting chair B.R. Ambedkar claimed the origins of Indian democracy in the parliamentary rules of the ancient Buddhist sanghas (monastic communities). In this article we trace the development of Ambedkar’s embrace of Buddhism, consider the documentary sources of his reference to Buddhist proto-democracy, and propose that his judicial philosophy was further shaped by his study of Western constitutions and the political slogans “Liberty, Equality, Fraternity,” and “Educate, Agitate, Organize”
Detection of Buried Nonlinear Targets Using DORT
Authors: Song Young Jin , Hong Sun K.
Published: May 2024

Ground-penetrating radars (GPR) based on a variety of techniques have been proposed to improve the performance of buried target (e.g., landmines, threat devices) detection. However, the small radar cross section (RCS) of small electronic devices poses difficulties for target detection, especially when they are buried in lossy and inhomogeneous media. This paper presents a novel buried nonlinear target detection method based on the decomposition of the time-reversal operator (DORT) that uses a multistatic system to overcome the limitations of conventional GPR. Using harmonic radar, which detects the harmonic responses scattered from electronic devices, and DORT processing, which enables focusing/imaging of the detected target, the detection performance is verified by conducting simulation and measurements. The overall results demonstrate that the proposed method achieves accurate detection of buried targets with small RCS.

Published: May 2024

The purpose of the study is to study the features of generative development of introduced pine species based on the material of the arboretum of the Mountain Taiga Station. The results of studying the morphology and quality of pollen and seeds of pine species under the conditions of the introduction of Primorsky Krai are presented. Pollen and seed viability indicators are the most important characteristics of the development of male generative structures. This, in turn, determines the degree of adaptation of the species to external conditions during introduction. Morphometric indicators of pollen (length and height of the body and air sacs) were determined on micro preparations, and the number of abnormal pollen grains was counted. Pollen viability was determined by germinating it in a 15% sucrose solution in a thermostat at a temperature of 25 ºС using the “hanging drop” method. Under the conditions of introduction, a direct correlation was found between the number of germinated pollen grains and the intensity of growth of pollen tubes. Germination and seed germination energy were determined according to GOST 13056.6‑75. Germination was carried out in Petri dishes on filter paperi n a thermostat at a constant temperature of +24°C. A direct relationship was found between the number of germinated pollen grains and the rate of growth of pollen tubes. Among the studied pine species, P. banksiana, P. hamata, and especially P. sylvestris, have a sufficiently large potential for a favorable completion of the embryonic stage in the generative process. The same species have the best indicators of germination and seed germination energy. The degree of viability of pollen has a direct impact on the formation of full-grained seeds.

Authors:   Timirâzevskaâ selʹskohozâjstvennaâ akademiâ, Zagoruiko M.G.
Published: May 2024

The article discusses the main stages of soybean cultivation using irrigation in the arid conditions of the Left Bank of the Saratov region. The purpose of the work is to analyze the technology of soybean cultivation under irrigation in the arid conditions of the Saratov region, to establish optimal irrigation periods and norms. A brief technological scheme is presented, including soil preparation, sowing, irrigation, harvesting and post-harvest refinement of soybeans. In the conditions of the Left Bank of the Saratov region, it is necessary to cultivate soybeans for seed purposes using zoned varieties, strictly in accordance with agro technology and irrigation. Compliance with agro technological techniques allows you to obtain stable soybean yields with minimal application of herbicides and rational use of irrigation water. Depending on the conditions of moisture availability of the growing season, from 3 to 5 watering is carried out with a rate of 450‑600 m3 / ha. Watering is usually carried out from mid-June to mid-August. If dry conditions form after germination, the first watering is carried out even earlier – in the phases of formation of 2‑3 nodes on the plant. Critical phases of development for soybeans in terms of sensitivity to lack of moisture are the phases of flowering – bean formation – seed filling, this period lasts the duration of which is 1.5‑2 months. During that period, the soil moisture in the 0.5‑0.7 m layer should be at least 60‑65% the lowest moisture capacity (LC) on light soils, 70% LC on medium and 75‑80% LC on heavy soils. At the same time, it is necessary to take into account the depth of groundwater in order to avoid their contact with irrigation water. The total water demand, taking into account the coefficient of water use (CWU) and the efficiency of irrigated areas, is 296‑518 thousand for soybean irrigation m3 per irrigation period, depending on the conditions of moisture availability during the growing season. At the same time, the last watering carried out in the conditions of the Saratov Left Bank in August should be carried out strictly taking into account the predicted weather conditions.

Authors: AlAita Abdulrahman , Aslam Muhammad , Smarandache Florentin
Published: May 2024

The existing Mood’s median test is a non-parametric test used to compare two or more sample data sets whether they are from the same population or not. There can be no application of this test to uncertain and indeterminate data. Therefore, it is necessary to find a generalization of this test that will enable us to apply it in uncertain environments. This study will present a new approach that utilizes neutrosophic statistics to apply Mood’s median test. The approach involves defining hypotheses, determining a decision rule, and performing the test in an uncertain environment. An evaluation of the performance of the proposed test will be conducted using numerical examples. The results reveal that the proposed test under neutrosophic statistics is more informative, efficient, and flexible than the existing test under classical statistics in the presence of uncertain data.

The Nexus of Agricultural Efficiency, Renewable Energy Consumption, and Climate Change in Turkey
Authors: Çam Salih
Published: May 2024

Agricultural practices and renewable energy consumption have a major impact on the absorption of heat-trapping greenhouse gases and are closely linked to climate change. The impact of agriculture on climate change is due to the GHGs such as methane, nitrous oxide and carbon dioxide carbon dioxide that are released into the atmosphere during the agricultural practices. Therefore, to avoid undesirable effects of agriculture on climate change, it is important to understand the relationship between agricultural activities and greenhouse gases. In this study, we analyze the long-term effects of agricultural efficiency, fertilizer use, and renewable energy consumption on total carbon emissions in Turkey. The analysis is performed in two steps. In the first step, the values of agricultural efficiency are calculated using the CEE method. In the second step, ARDL and NARDL models are used to estimate the long-term effects of agricultural efficiency, fertilizer use, renewable energy consumption, GDP and population on CO2 emissions. The results show that improving agricultural efficiency and increasing the share of renewable energy would reduce carbon emissions, while fertilizer use, GDP, and population have negative long-term effects on CO2. In addition, the results of the Wald test indicate asymmetric long-term effects of renewable energy, agricultural efficiency, and fertilizer use on climate change.

Ortak alıntı analizi sonucunda, örgütsel adalet ve lider-üye mübadelesi gibi örgütsel davranış konularının, kuramın gelişimine önemli katkıda bulundukları tespit edilmiştir. Bibliyografik eşleştirme ağı, son zamanlarda kuramın, bazı örgütsel davranış konuları haricinde turizm, pazarlama ve yönetim konularında da sıklıkla ele alındığını göstermiştir. Ortak kelime analiziyle, kuramla birlikte en sık ortaya çıkan anahtar kelimenin “güven” olduğu belirlenmiştir. Sosyal Mübadele Kuramı’nın, özellikle örgütsel davranış konularıyla birlikte gelişim gösterdiği, ancak son zamanlarda turizm, pazarlama ve yönetim konularıyla birlikte uygulanabilirliğini genişleterek disiplinler arası bir kuram haline geldiği sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.

Published: May 2024

Çalışanların sahip olduğu farklı özellik ve yetenekler ile birçok zenginlik de beraberinde gelmektedir. Ortak bir istihdam ve kimliğin temelini oluşturan örgüt kültürü, bünyesinde barındırdığı çeşitlilik ve farklılık ile bireylerin performanslarını ve motivasyonlarını etkilemektedir. Bu zenginliklerin doğru yönetimi ile örgütler, çalışanları ile arasında güçlü bir ilişki ve özdeşleşme kurabilmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, farklılıkların yönetimi anlayışı alt boyutlarının ve örgüt kültürünün, örgütsel özdeşleşme üzerindeki etkisini incelemek ve farklılıkların yönetimi alt boyutlarının örgütsel özdeşleşme üzerindeki etkisinde örgüt kültürünün rolünü araştırmaktır. Araştırmada, kartopu ve kolayda örnekleme yöntemi kullanılmıştır ve katılımcı sayısı 265’tir. Veriler online anket aracılığıyla toplanmıştır. Verilerin analizinde, SPSS 24 programı ve PROCESS macro kullanılmıştır. Analiz sonucunda, farklılıkların yönetimi alt boyutlarının örgütsel özdeşleşme ve örgüt kültürü üzerinde etkisi olduğu belirlenmiştir. Örgüt kültürünün tüm ilişkilerde aracı role sahip olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmış ve tüm hipotezler kabul edilmiştir. Çalışma sonucunda bulgular tartışılmış ve gelecek çalışma önerileri sunulmuştur. Literatürde bu üç kavramın ilişkisini birlikte inceleyen çalışma bulunmamaktadır. Bu durum çalışmanın özgünlüğünü ortaya koymaktadır. Bu bağlamda literatüre katkı sağlayacağı düşünülmektedir.

A modernização da agricultura em São Paulo no início do século XX: ciência e política em conexão
Authors: Da Silva Ferreira Aldenor , Roberto Ferraro Mário , Raffi Menegaldo Ferreira Luciana
Published: May 2024

Neste texto, analisamos algumas leis e decretos publicados pelos governadores paulistas Fernando Prestes de Albuquerque (1898-1900) e Jorge Tibiriçá Piratininga (1904-1908). O texto é resultado de uma pesquisa bibliográfica com análise de documentos oficiais encontrados nos acervos de importantes instituições no campo da produção agrícola de São Paulo, como o Instituto Agronômico de Campinas (IAC) e a Escola Superior de Agricultura Luiz de Queiroz (Esalq). O objetivo é discutir a relevância que a ciência agronômica desse período teve na orientação da política de modernização da agricultura paulista. Na primeira década do século XX, São Paulo passou por uma crise de superprodução de café, fato que fez a vanguarda da oligarquia cafeeira duvidar da viabilidade dessa cultura em terras paulistas e buscar uma solução que lhe favorecesse.
Pengarusutamaan Perlindungan Konsumen Indonesia: Tantangan dan Implikasi
Authors: Simanjuntak Megawati
Published: May 2024

Konsumen Indonesia saat ini dihadapkan pada pasar dengan pilihan produk/jasa yang semakin beragam. Hal ini membuat tantangan perlindungan konsumen semakin kompleks terbukti dengan masih banyaknya pelanggaran hak konsumen oleh pelaku usaha. Sistem perlindungan konsumen yang belum efektif, pelaku usaha yang kurang bertanggungjawab serta keterbatasan pengetahuan dan kesadaran konsumen menjadi penyebabnya. Berbagai hasil penelitian juga mengindikasikan masih rendahnya Indeks Keberdayaan Konsumen (IKK) Indonesia. Untuk itu, pengarusutamaan perlindungan konsumen menjadi sangat penting untuk menjaga kepercayaan bertransaksi antara konsumen dan pelaku usaha sebagai fundamental ekonomi Indonesia. Policy brief ini menguraikan tantangan dan sekaligus implikasi untuk mengarusutamakan perlindungan konsumen. Otoritas yang terkait dengan perlindungan konsumen di Indonesia harus meningkatkan koordinasi antar lembaga tanpa mengedepankan ego sektoral dengan berpedoman pada Strategi Nasional Perlindungan Konsumen atau Stranas PK. Dengan demikian, program-program perlindungan konsumen di Indonesia akan lebih terarah dan pada akhirnya akan dapat meningkatkan indeks keberdayaan konsumen yang saat ini masih rendah.

Development of Green Composite Based on Recycled-Low Density Polyethylene (r-LDPE) as an Environmentally Friendly Packaging
Authors: Hamdiani Saprini , Kamali Siti Raudhatul , Ismillayli Nurul , Kurniawati Lely , Sumarlan Iwan
Published: May 2024

Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE) is one of the most popular and commonly used petroleum-derived thermoplastics for packaging. The large production of LDPE has an environmental impact. Reducing production can be done by recycling LDPE (r-LDPE) and adding organic fibres as a filler that is easily decomposed. Cattle farming solid waste as a fibre source was mixed with r-LDPE with coupling agent maleic anhydride (MA). Before use, the cow manure was processed through a bleaching and hemicellulose removal process, which resulted in Cow Manure Fiber (CMF). The CMF was analyzed using FTIR spectroscopy and microscopic fibre dimension analysis. The FTIR results showed peaks at wavenumbers 3538 and 1056 cm-1, representing the -OH, -C-O and -CH functional groups from the cellulose structure. The resulting composites were tested for physical properties, including elastic modulus, yield stress, and elongation. Pure LDPE material was also used for comparison. The best physical properties of the composites were obtained by composites with 95% r-LDPE, 5% CMF, and 2% MA.
A PRESENÇA DO GÓTICO NO TRAJETO DE UM HOMEM QUE SABE QUE VAI MORRER EM LE DERNIER JOUR D'UN CONDAMNÉ (1829), DE VICTOR HUGO
Authors: Lemos Rodrigo de Oliveira
Published: May 2024

Le Dernier Jour d'un condamné (1829) é um romance social e político contrário à pena capital. Nele, acompanham-se os pensamentos de um condenado à morte, desde seu julgamento até sua execução. Primeiramente, traçaremos um breve histórico das influências mútuas entre a Grã-Bretanha e a França na gênese da literatura gótica e apontaremos algumas características recorrentes na espacialidade de algumas dessas obras. Em seguida, entraremos de pleno na narrativa hugoliana, usando categorias como narrador e narração, personagens e tempo e espaço. Finalmente, deter-nos-emos nos três espaços principais do romance: Bicêtre, a Conciergerie e o Hôtel de Ville de Paris. Questionar-nos-emos, enfim, sobre o porquê dessa presença do gótico sob o ponto de vista da estratégia retórica do romance a fim de convencer o leitor da brutalidade intrínseca da pena capital.
