João Francisco dos Santos não é Madame Satã: Colonialidades, Racismo e a disputa de Imaginários acerca de Sujeitos Negros LGBTQIAP+
Authors: Alberto de Carvalho Carlos , Rodrigues Higidio Aleone
Published: December 2022

Este artigo parte da inquietação de um sujeito-pesquisador negro em investigar como as colonialidades contribuem na reconfiguração do racismo na narrativa, histórica e audiovisual, do ícone da contracultura brasileira, João Francisco dos Santos, inspiração para o filme Madame Satã (2002). Na tentativa de reivindicar a condição de sujeito, no lugar da objetificação desse artista, debruça-se sobre os estudos raciais, ancorando-se, principalmente, em autoras e autores negras, bem como nos estudos decoloniais. Conclui-se que, ainda que se retrate parte da vida artística de João Francisco dos Santos, o racismo, bem como as LGBTQIAP+fobias, são reelaborados no imaginário popular a partir da manutenção de alcunhas racistas, mesmo na obra de Karim Aïnouz, narrativa ficcional onde há espaço para fabulações.

Jambi is one of the areas that can not be separated from the cultivation of Dutch colonialism in 1906-1942 (36 years), this brought changes in Jambi in the field of political system, brings in Jambi in the field of political, socio-cultural and economic systems. This research was conducted to identify how the economic development of western influences, especially Dutch Colonialism in Jambi, can be used as a source of learning, especially teaching materials based on local history in Jambi, especially during the period of colonialism and Dutch imperialism. This research method uses qualitative descriptive research. The results showed that the economic development of Jambi during Colonialism can be used as a teaching material for local history in the subjects of Indonesian History and The History of Interest. This locally based teaching material is very useful for learners because the material is close to the environment of life, thus making the goal of historical learning achieved and become more meaningful. In addition, it can also build a character of love for history and the nature of responsibility for preservation, concern for heritage and historical relics and the growth of nationalism.
International Trade, Foreign Direct Investment, Financial Development and Renewable Energy Supply: Panel Data Evidence from Newly Industrialized Countries
Authors: Yücel Gülçin Elif , Ustabaş Ayfer , Acar Tuğçe
Published: December 2022

In many newly industrializing countries (NICs), increased international trade activities are often triggered by several advancements, including attracting foreign direct investment (FDI), financial development, and technological changes. Recently, abundant and diversified renewable energy sources used in production have also started to take their place among these advancements. Although the relationship between FDI, financial developments, and international trade for NICs has been analyzed in many studies, incorporating renewable energy supply’s impact in this linkage has been relatively narrow. This paper aims to fill the gap in the literature by investigating the effects of renewable energy supply on FDI, financial development, and international trade for newly industrialized countries using panel causality and panel cointegration analyses between 1990 and 2019. Our findings indicate (i) uni-directional causality running from international trade to financial development, (ii) uni-directional causality running from renewable energy supply to financial development, and (iii) bi-directional causality between financial development and FDI. The result of the cointegration analysis showed that there is no long-term relationship between the variables.
T.S. Eliot and the Sense of History
Authors:   Grand Valley State University, Lockerd Benjamin
Published: December 2022

Eliot’s deep interest in ideas about history began early and continued throughout his life. In his student days, he encountered the concepts of human pre-history put forward by early anthropologists such as Emile Durkheim and Lucien Lévy-Bruhl. He studied under Josiah Royce and George Santayana, was aware of the historical writing of his distant relative Henry Adams. The paper also dwells at some length on Eliot’s attitude to the “Whig historians” and the Criterion-group historians. As Eliot entered the Christian fold, his idea of history became that of the Bible and the Church. He followed St. Augustine, was deeply influenced by the British Catholic historian Christopher Dawson. As a Christian, Eliot rejected both progressive and regressive views of history as well as determinism in favor of a belief in free will, the doctrine of Original Sin and faith in Providence. Eliot’s views involve a challenge to the secular view of history, and his key terms are based on his Christian vision: the “historical sense”, in the meaning of awareness of “tradition”, which carries the truths of Revelation and the wisdom of the ages forward in time, adapting them somewhat to various times and cultures but remaining faithful to the essential truths, the “permanent things.”
Santha Rama Rau: A Footnote to History?
Authors:   California State University, Chatterjee Choi
Published: December 2022

This article analyzes Santha Rama Rau’s 1959 travelogue, My Russian Journey, and places it in the context of Soviet-American relations in the early decades of the Cold War. Rau, an eminent Indian American novelist, was commissioned by the literary travel magazine, Holiday, to write articles on the Soviet Union in the late 1950s. She was recruited for her literary ability, but her personal relations with important personalities in the United States and India gave her an unusual degree of access to members of the Soviet cultural elite. Rau’s leisurely travels through different parts of the Soviet Union resulted in a new kind of travel account of everyday life in the Soviet Union. I analyze three major themes in My Russian Journey: the problem of Soviet censorship, descriptions of elite lifestyles in the Soviet Union, and a comparison of Soviet and Indian national identity. I argue that the publication of Rau’s My Russian Journey marked an important milestone in Soviet American relations that was mediated through India.

Experiences of UK-based adult transition services for Interstitial Lung Disease in childhood: “There’s a lot less cushioning”
Authors: Gilbert Carlee , Bennett Kate M. , Brown Christopher , Bush Andrew
Published: December 2022

Interstitial Lung Disease in childhood (chILD) is rare and no longer
solely a childhood issue. Many are surviving into adult life. Therefore,
many affected with chILD need to transition from paediatric to adult
healthcare services. Transition is a significant life event that has the
potential to impact on physical and mental health outcomes and across
Europe this is a haphazard process for chILD. This qualitative study
explores how young people and parents in the United Kingdom experienced
transition from paediatric to adult healthcare services for chILD.
Participants (n = 7) were recruited from chILD patient organisations and
online communities. We focused on the experience of transition and
whether there were any information packs or support provided for the
transition. The data was analysed by constructivist grounded theory. The
study presents a lived experience of transition with themes of lack of
transition preparation and planning, challenges of learning how to adapt
to adult services and a changing healthcare scene. Due to the complexity
of ChILD, parents discussed their need to remain, in part, as an
advocate for the young person. Respondents provided recommendations for
how transition could be improved along with tips for young people who
are new to the transition process, which include educating oneself about
the condition and learning medical terminology, being open if there are
issues and reaching out for support.
Conformational changes in the AdeB transmembrane efflux pump by amphiphilic peptide Mastoparan-B, down-regulates expression of the ade B gene and restores antibiotics susceptibility
Authors: Shakibaie Mohammad Reza , Modaresi Farzan , Azizi Omid , Tadjrobehkar Omid , Ghaemi Mohammad Mehdi
Published: December 2022

No report exists on the role of Mastoparan B (MP-B) as an RND efflux
pump inhibitor in multi-drug resistant (MDR) Acinetobacter
baumannii. Here, we performed a series of in-silico experiments to
predict the inhibition of the AdeB efflux pump by MP-B as a drug target
agent. For this reason, an MDR strain of A. baumannii was
subjected to minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) against 12
antibiotics as well as MP-B. Expression of the a deB gene in the
absence and presence of sub-MIC of MP-B was studied by qRT-PCR. It was
found that MP-B had potent antimicrobial activity (MIC=1 µg/ml)
associated with a 20-fold decrease in its expression at sub-MIC of MP-B.
The stereochemical analysis using several automated servers confirmed
that the AdeB is an inner membrane of the RND tripartite complex system
with helix-turn-helix conformation and a pore rich in Phe, Ala, and Lys
residue. The best model that showed high accuracy (Z=1.2, C=1.41,
TM=0.99, and RMSD=4.4) was selected for docking purposes using the Site
Map tool, and the correct protein-peptide complexes were simulated in
the BioLiP platform. The molecular docking via AutoDock/Vina suggested
that MP-B form H-bound with amino acid residues of the AdeB helix-5 and
caused a shift in the dihedral angle by distances of 9.0 Å, 9.3 Å, and
9.6 Å, respectively. This shift was detected by the AlphaFold 2 tool and
influenced the overall druggability of the protein. From the results, we
concluded that, MP-B can be a good candidate for inhibition of bacterial
efflux pump.
SYNTHETIC BIOLOGY APPROACHES FOR MAMMALIAN CELL FACTORY ENGINEERING
Authors: Segatori Laura , Bachhav Bhagyashree , Rossi Jacopo de , Llanos Carlos D.
Published: December 2022

The production of high-quality recombinant proteins is critical
to maintaining a continuous supply of biopharmaceuticals, such as
therapeutic antibodies. Engineering mammalian cell factories presents a
number of limitations typically associated with proteotoxic stress
induced upon aberrant accumulation of off-pathway protein folding
intermediates, which eventually culminate with the induction of
apoptosis. Recent progress in mammalian synthetic biology provides
unique opportunities to endow cells with programmable, user-defined
behaviors, thereby addressing some of the challenges of current methods.
In this review, we will discuss advances in synthetic biology to design
efficient strategies for biomanufacturing.

Influenza A infection can mimic coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in
case of their signs and symptoms, making it almost impossible to
distinguish them clinically, necessitating using high-precision assays
in such patients. Clinicians should be careful in treating such patients
merely based on their unspecific manifestations.
Is Omicron really mild? - Comparative analysis of comorbidities and disease outcomes associated with SARS-CoV-2 Omicron (B.1.1.529) and Delta (B.1.617.2) variants

Published: December 2022

Introduction Multiple variants of SARS-CoV-2 from Alpha to
Omicron have an estimated 6.1 million deaths globally till date.
However, variants have been found to vary in transmissibility and
severity. The present study deals with comparison of morbidity and
mortality with SARS-CoV-2 Omicron (B.1.1.529) and Delta (B.1.617.2)
variants. Methods An observational retrospective cohort study
was conducted on a cohort of laboratory confirmed patients of SARS-CoV-2
diagnosed by qRT-PCR of nasopharyngeal swabs in periods; April-2021 &
January-2022; that were sequenced and variants were recorded. Patients
were invited for a telephonic interview after voluntary and informed
consent was obtained from each participant wherein, the demographics,
co-morbidities, oxygen requirement and mortality outcomes of the
patients were enquired about. Results A total of 200 patients,
with 100 from each period were included in the study. Major
comorbidities in patients included hypertension, diabetes mellitus and
pulmonary disease. Patients who succumbed to the Delta variant (26%)
were higher as compared to the Omicron variant (10%); with the elderly
(68 ± 9.7 years) having mortality during the Omicron variant. A
significantly increased risk for mortality was observed in comorbidities
in both Delta and Omicron variants with hypertension (OR:1.3;5.44),
diabetes mellitus (OR:0.99;1.94), chronic pulmonary disease
(OR:1.6;2.25), chronic kidney disease (OR:3.18;0.89), and smoking
(OR:1.74;1.55). Conclusion The study concluded that the Omicron
has potential of high transmissibility and milder disease for the
population by large, however, it is not a milder strain for patients
with comorbidities having a higher risk of adverse outcomes than that of
the previously dominant Delta variant.
An Artificial Intelligence Based Self-Adaptive Dynamic Process Control System for Enhancing In-Situ Bioremediation of Benzene-Contaminated Groundwater
Authors: He Li , Duan Xu , Li Chenyang , Xu Yang , He Mengxi
Published: December 2022

This study develops a new AI-based Self-Adaptive DPC (SADPC) system
based on stepwise inference combing with genetic algorithm optimization
technologies, including a filtered-clustering inference prediction model
(FCI simulator), a stepwise inference controller (SI emulator), a model
predictive control controller (MPC controller), a 1st-stage optimizer,
and a 2nd-stage optimizer. This system effectively reflects the dynamics
and complexity of the biodegradation process and realizes the control
for the remediation system based on the feedback information. To achieve
this goal, a statistical model for simulating the bioremediation process
through the FCI simulator is proposed, which can predict the resulting
contamination situation based on the previous contamination situation
and control action. Then a bridge between control actions and
contamination situations is established through the SI emulator, which
can generate a control action based on a given contamination situation.
Through running the SADPC system, the desired control action can be
identified. Results show that The SADPC system increases the removal
rate of benzene and arrives at the remediation goal earlier than other
systems. This suggested decision makers that guidelines and policies on
remediation-oriented SADPC systems could be tentatively investigated,
developed, and applied in the future effort.
Quantifying 3D Gravity Wave Drag in a Library of Tropical Convection-permitting Simulations for Data-driven Parameterizations
Authors: Sun Y. Qiang , Hassanzadeh Pedram , Alexander M. Joan , Kruse Christopher G
Published: December 2022

Atmospheric gravity waves (GWs) span a broad range of length scales. As
a result, the un-resolved and under-resolved GWs have to be represented
using a sub-grid scale (SGS) parameterization in general circulation
models (GCMs). In recent years, machine learning (ML) techniques have
emerged as novel methods for SGS modeling of climate processes. In the
widely-used approach of supervised (offline) learning, the true
representation of the SGS terms have to be properly extracted from
high-fidelity data (e.g., GW-resolving simulations). However, this is a
non-trivial task, and the quality of the ML-based parameterization
significantly hinges on the quality of these SGS terms. Here, we compare
three methods to extract 3D GW fluxes and the resulting drag (GWD) from
high-resolution simulations: Helmholtz decomposition, and spatial
filtering to compute the Reynolds stress and the full SGS stress. In
addition to previous studies that focused only on vertical fluxes by
GWs, we also quantify the SGS GWD due to lateral momentum fluxes. We
build and utilize a library of tropical high-resolution
($\Delta x =3~km$) simulations using
weather research and forecasting model (WRF). Results show that the SGS
lateral momentum fluxes could have a significant contribution to the
total GWD. Moreover, when estimating GWD due to lateral effects,
interactions between the SGS and the resolved large-scale flow need to
be considered. The sensitivity of the results to different filter type
and length scale (dependent on GCM resolution) is also explored to
inform the scale-awareness in the development of data-driven
parameterizations.

Published: December 2022

More than six billion people worldwide consume dairy products every day. Dairy products and their constituents contain hundreds of different components, but milk fat globule membrane (MFGM) polar lipids are still underestimated from a nutritional point of view. The unique composition of phospholipids (PLs) – the main MFGM component – provides high nutraceutical properties. Therefore, the research of bioactive dairy components and their impact has promising potential in human health by various mechanisms. The positive effects of MFGM PLs are mainly based on animal studies, but there are a small number of in vivo studies with volunteers. The present study aimed to review the research findings of dairy PLs in human nutrition and their functional properties. Dairy PLs effectively impact intestinal integrity and gut microbiota, lipid profile and risk lowering of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), cognitive performance during stress, and neonatal brain development.

Authors:   Latvia University of Life Sciences and Technologies, Latvia, Andersone-Trezina Elizabete , Kince Tatjana ,   Latvia University of Life Sciences and Technologies, Latvia
Published: December 2022

Demands for plant-based food in the European Union are growing especially nowadays. Pulses are common and regional; they have an excellent nutritive value but its consumption in food industry is still low. In last decades extrusion technology has become extremely popular in food development. The aim of this study was to investigate the latest findings about pea Pisum sativum L. and beans Phaseolus vulgaris L. flour suitability for high-moisture food extrusion. Monographic method was used to analyse pulse seeds chemical content, possible pre-treatment methods, functional properties, covering the latest information about high-moisture extrusion, raw materials and technical parameters used. Pulses are a good source of protein, carbohydrates, minerals and vitamins. Chemical content, functional properties of yellow peas and different varieties of beans, except grey peas are well described in scientific literature. Germination can be promising pre-treatment for pulse seeds, it increases folic acid content, water absorption capacity and reduces the amount of antinutrients. Extrusion technology increases ready product protein digestibility and induces changes in antinutrient activity. High-moisture food extrusion characterises with moisture of raw materials above 40.00% where mostly protein concentrate and isolates from pulses are used.

Published: December 2022

Human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) comprise about 20% of the total carbohydrates of human milk. There is currently a growing interest in HMOs as many researchers have recognized the importance of their benefits to infant health. Accumulated evidence suggests that HMOs are anti-adhesive antimicrobials that serve as soluble bait receptors, prevent pathogens from attaching to infant mucous membranes, and reduce the risk of viral, bacterial, and protozoan parasites. It also provides functionality including anti-adhesion and immunomodulators. Even though the composition of human milk in Latvia has been studied in detail, there are no studies on oligosaccharides in human milk. The aim of the study is to find out recent advances in the analysis of HMOs. Semi-systematic method was used to analyze the latest information about the recent advances in the analysis of HMOs by liquid phase separation methods, to investigate any known associations between HMOs composition and maternal nutrition and nutritional factors during lactation and the effect of HMOs on the infant’s development and health. The analysis of HMOs is considered very complex because of heterogeneity and different isomeric/anomeric structures of compounds. The proposed methods for analysing HMOs are largely based on liquid chromatography.
Music’s Mystery
Authors: Varden O.C.S.O Erik
Published: December 2022

Our experience of being ‘addressed’ by music makes it legitimate to maintain that music ‘speaks’ to us; in so far as it constitutes a ‘language’ it does not, however, convey logical, linear discourse: its power depends on ambiguity and on a capacity for the simultaneous sounding of opposites. This language of harmonised contrast engages both our intellect and our emotions but cannot be fathomed by either; the fact that music inspires at once satisfaction and hunger shows that it points beyond itself to the source from which it springs and is, in this respect, a ‘sign’. How do we absorb this language? How do we hear it? In this chapter, the author discusses questions like these related to the thinking of Élisabeth-Paule Labat (1897–1975), a French pianist and composer. In 1922, Élisabeth-Paule Labat entered the Benedictine abbey of Saint-Michel de Kergonan in Brittany. In 1963 she published her Essai sur le mystère de la musique (translated from French by the author of this chapter), where she discusses the decisive role that great music can play in the spiritual life.4
Musikk og religion som estetisk erfaring. Et augustinsk perspektiv
Authors: Holm Henrik
Published: December 2022

In this article, I reflect on how music and religion meet in aesthetic experience, and how thinking responds to this encounter. The way of thinking takes the form of an interpretation of key elements in Augustine’s description of his musical experiences in Confessions (Confessiones). This article is not a philological-historical interpretation of Augustine, but an attempt to think with Augustine today. Therefore, the article culminates in a reflection on the self as a place where music and religion meet. If we place the aesthetic experience of music within a theory of subjectivity, it shows that man himself becomes the place where the drama between good and evil in the meeting between religion and music takes place. With Augustine, one can interpret one’s own musical-religious experiences even today, and with Augustine we see the importance of a theological reflection on music that is sceptical of how music can be (mis)used in religious contexts. According to Augustine, thinking about the relationship between music and religion takes the form of descriptions of aesthetic experiences. They cannot be universalized into an abstract theory of the relationship between music and religion. Thinking must therefore go into the concrete experience to understand how music and religion respond to each other in human subjectivity.
Et ikon av lyd: John Coltranes A Love Supreme som liturgisk praksis
Authors: Opsahl Carl Petter
Published: December 2022

John Coltrane’s 1965 album A Love Supreme stands as one of the most iconic and transformative statements in the recorded history of jazz. Capturing the “classic Coltrane quartet” at its peak, this album became widely popular and also reached listeners who otherwise were not interested in jazz. This is undoubtedly “religious” music: Coltrane described it as a musical prayer and offering to God. As the album also is central to worship in the Saint John Will-I-Am Coltrane African Orthodox Church in San Fransisco, it opens unique avenues for exploring the relation between “religious experience” and music.

This chapter will draw on insights from liturgical thinkers such as Ansgar Chupungco, Aidan Kavanaugh and Gordon Lathrop, resonance theory as developed by Hartmut Rosa, and music theology. The author proposes a liturgical exploration of Coltrane’s music with three lines of study: A Love Supreme as anamnesis and thanksgiving, as liturgical text and as an icon of sound. In addition to the album, a recently issued live recording and Coltrane’s manuscript will be discussed, as well as the worship practices of the Saint John Will-I-Am Coltrane African Orthodox Church.
Musikalske mirakler: Transcendens i estetiske og religiøse erfaringer
Authors: Rinholm Hanne
Published: December 2022

This essay discusses commonalities between religious and musical-aesthetic experiences regarding their potential for transcendence. Inspired by existential autoethnography, the author presents situations from her own life to explore such correspondence. The essay shows how transcendent musical-aesthetic experiences may occur both while creating and performing as well as while listening to music. Narratives of transcendence in music and literature are discussed and contrasted with philosophical and psychological accounts of musical-aesthetic experience. The essay suggests that the unique value of transcendent musical-aesthetic experience is its existential significance.
Mariakultens musik i ett skandinaviskt perspektiv – exempel från olika sociala och historiska kontexter
Authors: Nelson Karin
Published: December 2022

The Mary theme has been a central part of our Scandinavian history and occurs both on rune stones and in art from the 900s and 1000s. When Christianity was introduced, many earlier customs were adapted to conform with the new religion. Although the view of Mary changed after the Lutheran Reformation, the cult of Mary remained in folklore for several centuries.

Through the spread of Christianity, this tradition also came to the Nordic region. Christianity was combined with established religious practices that were partly applied in tandem. The Old Norse goddess Freya, like the Sami Sáráhkká, was replaced – or in many cases supplemented – by the Virgin Mary.

This article provides examples of music relating to the cult of Mary in various cultural expressions in Scandinavia: the Birgitta Order’s Our Lady’s divine office, as well as Mary joiks and Mary hymns in various Scandinavian hymn books from more recent times. Issues discussed include why certain perspectives have had a greater impact on the writing of history than others, who writes history, and what consequences this has for the dissemination of knowledge.

With the Reformation, the cult of Mary was restricted in the Lutheran Church. The Lutheran Church has periodically had a complicated relationship to Mary but in recent decades has increasingly opened up. As an overview, the occurrence of Mary hymns in Swedish and Norwegian hymn books in modern times is described in comparison with previous centuries.

Lifestyle is a person's way of socializing to meet their needs with others, a person's behavior will be formed related to the image of a person to show his social status. There are many verses of the Qur'an that describe excessive style. The author takes the verse of QS. Al-A'raf: 31, Q.S Al-Isra':26-27, QS. Al-An'am: 141, along with the development of science, many people have researched excessive lifestyles from various perspectives, but to be more convincing, the author takes the perspective of Wahbah Az- Zuhaili's Tafsir Al-Munir. The purpose of this study is to find out how the interpretation of Wahbah Az-Zuhaili in Tafsir Al-Munir on the Excessive Lifestyle of Norman Fairclough's discourse analysis perspective. This research uses descriptive qualitative with the type of literature research, the source of data used is Tafsir Al-Munir by Wahbah Az zuhaili, books, journals and literature related to excessive lifestyle. Data collection techniques use documentation techniques, and data analysis techniques researchers perform a mufassir analysis of excessive lifestyle verses. Based on the results of this study, the validity of an excessive lifestyle is an act that is not liked by God because it is a wasteful act and can be punished as haram.
O CIENTISTA-ADMINISTRADOR: A ATUAÇÃO DE JOSÉ REIS NA ADMINISTRAÇÃO PÚBLICA DURANTE A DÉCADA DE 1940 SEGUNDO A IMPRENSA
Authors: Magalhães Danilo , Massarani Luisa
Published: December 2022

Polivalente, o cientista e divulgador científico José Reis atuou também na administração pública. Durante o Estado Novo, foi diretor do Departamento de Serviço Público de São Paulo (DSP), órgão responsável por cuidar da gestão e reestruturação do funcionalismo público do estado de São Paulo, de acordo com as premissas de suposta modernização e racionalização do regime. O objetivo deste artigo foi compreender como os jornais brasileiros registraram e representaram a passagem de Reis pela direção do órgão e as demais atividades ligadas à administração pública que ele manteve na década de 1940. Para a realização deste estudo, consultamos a Hemeroteca Digital da Biblioteca Nacional e os acervos digitais da Folha de São Paulo, O Globo e O Estado de São Paulo. Os jornais foram observados levando em consideração seu contexto histórico e político, bem como seus posicionamentos durante e após o Estado Novo. A análise do corpus de 311 registros em 37 jornais revelou três principais aspectos. O primeiro é a retórica de racionalidade e cientificidade que teria sido adotada por José Reis na condução do DSP e na defesa das reformas propostas pelo regime. O segundo é a existência de dois momentos na cobertura pelos jornais: um primeiro momento de celebração de Reis e um segundo, depois da queda do Estado Novo, de crítica, que resultou na sua exoneração. O terceiro aspecto é a desvinculação na representação pública feita nos jornais entre o cientista pesquisador do Instituto Biológico e especialista em doenças de aves e o administrador público.
O MASSACRE DE GREENSBORO: NAZISTAS, COMUNISTAS E KU KLUX KLAN NOS ESTADOS UNIDOS DA AMÉRICA (1979) - PARTE I
Authors: de Carvalho Siqueira Mayara , Oliveira Muinhos Júlia
Published: December 2022

Em novembro de 1979, na cidade de Greensboro, na Carolina do Norte, manifestantes do Partido dos Trabalhadores Comunistas (Communist Workers’ Party - CWP) foram assassinados por membros do Ku Klux Klan (KKK) e do Partido Nazi Americano (American Nazi Party - ANP). Os homicídios aconteceram durante um protesto organizado pelo CWP em oposição à KKK e faziam parte de um contexto maior de oposição entre comunistas e trabalhadores negros, de um lado, e nazistas e supremacistas brancos, de outro. O massacre foi televisionado, gerando grande mobilização da população local, e ganhou notoriedade em todo o país. Décadas depois, em 2004, houve a instalação da Comissão da Verdade e Reconciliação de Greensboro (CVRG) para analisar os impactos desses fatos e fazer recomendações para sua reparação. A pesquisa foi iniciada na tentativa de compreender e analisar as nuances restaurativas da prática transicional de Greensboro. Contudo, ao tomarmos contato com a complexidade e a relevância dos fatos históricos, optamos por distribuir a pesquisa em diferentes artigos. Este é o primeiro destes trabalhos, propondo-se a compreender e contextualizar o massacre, apresentando as relações entre comunistas, nazistas, Ku Klux Klan e sindicatos que culminaram no evento de 03 de novembro de 1979. Para isso, partimos do seguinte problema de pesquisa: como o Partido Comunista dos Trabalhadores, o Partido Nazi Americano e a Ku Klux Klan estavam envolvidos no massacre de Greensboro?

Os estudos e práticas da Justiça Restaurativa e da Justiça de Transição têm se operacionalizado de modo majoritariamente apartado. Com interesse em investigar as convergências entre os dois campos, a presente pesquisa propõe-se a analisar adequação das ações de Justiça Restaurativa de Transição da cidade de Greensboro ao paradigma restaurativo, de modo a compreender sua estrutura, desafios e impactos. O foco da pesquisa foram as ações e impactos da Comissão da Verdade e Reconciliação de Greensboro (CVRG) (2004-2005). Tratou-se de uma prática transicional de origem popular, sem interferência do Estado, voltada a ampliar a consciência sobre as narrativas relacionadas ao Massacre de Greensboro, compreender seus impactos e reparar danos. A experiência de Justiça de Transição de Greensboro foi autointitulada de restaurativa e empreendeu esforços de memória e reconciliação frente às violências estruturais decorrentes de uma abolição inconclusa na região. A pesquisa foi documental e bibliográfica, tendo analisado especialmente o Relatório Final da Comissão da Verdade e Reconciliação de Greensboro; as postagens e comentários do blog da Comissão; os vídeos de apresentação da CVR disponíveis no Youtube; a filmagem do evento Truth Matters! The 1979 Klan/Nazi Greensboro Massacre, produzido pela organização da sociedade civil Repairers of the Breach; e os conteúdos de Verdade e Reconciliação de autoria e armazenamento no site Beloved Community Center, os quais incluem cartas abertas das viúvas e sobreviventes da tragédia, além de livros sobre o trabalho da CVRG.
DIREITO COMPARADO: REFLEXÕES METODOLÓGICAS E COMPARAÇÕES NO DIREITO CONSTITUCIONAL

Published: December 2022

O campo do direito comparado contemporâneo ganha maior relevância, no direito privado, a partir da Codificação Civil francesa de 1804, e no direito constitucional depois da Segunda Guerra Mundial. De outro lado, esse artigo demonstra que o comparativismo na seara jurídica possui raízes históricas mais antigas. Por sua vez, a primeira parte do texto reflete sobre questões metodológicas centrais, analisando as origens e principais características do comparativismo, além de enfrentar os temas da macrocomparação e da microcomparação. Ainda, a suposta função modernizadora do direito comparado é objeto de análise crítica, dialogando com as reflexões desenvolvimentistas e o pluralismo. A segunda parte do artigo sustenta que o campo contemporâneo do direito constitucional comparado, sem desconsiderar as especificidades do direito público, em muito se beneficia das análises promovidas pelo campo mais amplo do direito comparado e de discussões originalmente produzidas sob o influxo do direito privado.

This work aims to study the personality and cognitive characteristics of social media users with eating disorders. The work involved 209 people (84 women with anorexia nervosa, 82 women with bulimia nervosa, a control group of 43 healthy women). The Eating Behavior Rating Scale (EBRS), Cognitive-behavioral Patterns in Eating Disorders Questionnaire, 16-factor Personality Questionnaire, and the Dysfunctional Relations Scale (DRS) were used to assess cognitive and personal characteristics of people with eating disorders. It was found in the work that emotional instability, anxiety, and suspicion are characteristic personality traits for persons with eating disorders. It has been found that individuals with anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa have different cognitive characteristics. The cognitive characteristics of individuals with eating disorders are correlated with their personality traits.
Quasi-Experimental Research as An Epistemological-Methodological Approach in Education Research

Pedagogy as a social-humanistic science that deals with upbringing and education expresses its complexity through a plurality of ideas, understandings and opportunities for studying, learning and researching educational practice. The methodology dealt with by experimental and quasi-experimental pedagogy is exact and serves to establish reliable data, i.e., it searches for facts and evidence that can replace research hypotheses. A synonym for quasi-experimental pedagogy is “new pedagogy” because the evaluation of research quality in educational practice can be defined through the methodological basis of research, originality, novelty and significance. The question arises: how many quasi-experiments have been conducted so far that researchers are not even aware of, that is, they have not called this type of research by its real name? The main goal of theoretical research is to analyze the crucial differences between non-experimental, experimental and quasi-experimental research. From the presented goal of the research arises the research task which is reflected in seeking to affirm quasi-experimental research in pedagogy with the aim of bringing closer to the scientific public the characteristics and advantages of quasi-experiments in terms of streamlining implementation and practicality in the natural school environment. The paper uses the theoretical analysis method with the content analysis technique. The authors presented conclusions about the importance of quasi-experimental research as a special epistemological-methodological approach in determining the causality of educational phenomena.

The current study explores the differences in metacognitive awareness perceptions of students who had high and low scores on TIMSS-like science tests. The sample consisted of 937 Omani students, 478 in Grade Five and 459 in Grade Nine. TIMSS-like tests were specially designed for both grade levels, and students also completed a metacognitive awareness perceptions inventory which explored their use of four main skills: planning, information management strategies, debugging strategies and evaluation. MANOVA was used to analyze the data. The findings indicated that students with high scores in the TIMSS-like test out-performed students with low scores in the test on all four metacognitive skills surveyed. This was true for all three performance areas analysed: performance in the TIMSS-like test as a whole, performance in lower-level test questions and performance in higher-level test questions. These findings highlight the extent to which students’ metacognitive skills influence their performance in science tests. The study recommends that students be trained to improve their metacognitive skills, reviews several methods for doing this, and suggests that such training might better prepare them for taking science tests. However, it also notes that further research is needed to explore the impact of metacognitive training on student performance in specific science examinations such as TIMSS.
