Compost Turn. Neue Bestattungsprodukte im Spannungsfeld von Ökologie und Atmosphäre
Authors: Felber Silke
Published: September 2023

Abstract: Seit 2021 ermöglicht ein deutsches Unternehmen die Kompostierung menschlicher Leichname und bietet Hinterbliebenen ein dazugehöriges Ritual an. Der Beitrag widmet sich diesem Phänomen aus theatertheoretischer sowie diskursanalytischer Perspektive. Er fragt nach den konkreten Verfahren der Affizierung, die im Bewerben des Bestattungsprodukts namens Reerdigung implementiert werden, und fokussiert auf die spezifischen Begehrnisse (Böhme), die dabei adressiert bzw. evoziert werden. Das verkaufte Versprechen, als Kompost (wieder) in den Erdkreislauf einzugehen, reagiert, so die Prämisse, auf ein gegenwärtig im globalen Norden verstärkt zutage tretendes soziales Bedürfnis, dem Drang nach Luxus und Verschwendung etwas Bleibendes, Einzigartiges und ökologisch Vertretbares entgegenzusetzen. Paradoxerweise aber ist es ausgerechnet das den anthropozentrischen Raubbau vorantreibende Prinzip der Akzeleration, das das ökologisch bewahrende, ästhetisierte Produkt Reerdigung erst hervorbringt.
Verräumlichung von Oberflächlichkeit. Zur Gestaltung einer Szenosphäre bei Susanne Kennedy ( Drei Schwestern , Münchner Kammerspiele, 2019)
Authors: Prager Julia
Published: September 2023

Abstract: Der Beitrag möchte zeigen, wie Susanne Kennedys Inszenierung von Čechovs Stück Drei Schwestern Konzeptionen theatraler Atmosphären als eine ‚zwischenmenschliche Erfahrung' produktiv umdeutet: Der geteilte Raum steht in der installativen Verschaltung von fiktionalen, sprachlich-kulturellen, virtuellen und phänomenalen Räumen ebenso in Frage wie die Möglichkeit, das Zwischenmenschliche als Eigenschaft bestimmter Körper festzumachen. Klare Entgegensetzungen von virtueller Oberflächlichkeit und greifbarer Räumlichkeit, menschlichem und nicht-menschlichem Körper, An- und Abwesenheit werden ausgeräumt, wenn etwa die in der Luft hängende Guckkastenbühne von einer digitalen Projektionsfläche überblendet wird und die in ihrem Erscheinen in Silikonmasken ohnehin schon avatarhaft wirkenden Schauspieler*innen auf dieser dann noch einmal, nun jedoch als Körper-Simulationen sichtbar werden. Die gestaltete Szenosphäre kommt nicht allein bildgewaltig daher, sondern operiert durch das Sounddesign in sich abwechselnden Sequenzen von sterilen Sprechpartien mit eingespieltem Voiceover und ohrenbetäubenden Geräuschkulissen mit regelrechten Blackouts. Kennedys Theater erscheint gerade aufgrund seiner umfassenden Konstruktionen von Stimmungen als Versuchsraum, sich diesen auszusetzen und sich gleichzeitig der Gewalt ihrer Affektion entgegenzusetzen.
Do you get the #vibe? Zur postdigitalen Medienästhetik der Atmosphäre
Authors: Prokić Tanja
Published: September 2023

Abstract: Als alltagsnahe Konvention für unsagbare, subkutane Stimmungen hat sich mit den Sozialen Medien der Ausdruck ‚Vibe' etabliert, der im zugehörigen Hashtag Konjunktur hat. Was differenziert sensorisch erfahrbar ist, sich aber einer begrifflichen Festlegung verwehrt, bleibt durch die Kennzeichnung als ‚Vibe' offen für Assoziationen und Eindrücke. Gerade weil der Vibe ein indexikalischesVerhältnis zu einer sinnlich erlebten Wirklichkeit unterstellt, weist er eine Nähe zu installativen Künsten auf, die uns durch die Kreation von Atmosphären sinnlich involvieren, ohne eine eindeutige Bedeutung nahezulegen. Seit einigen Jahren tut sich auch in der Theorielandschaft die Forderung kund, den Atmosphären und Stimmungen von (literarischen, theatralen, filmischen, skulpturalen, musikalischen, architektonischen etc.) Kunstwerken und Objekten mehr Aufmerksamkeit einzuräumen. Die folgenden Ausführungen nehmen diese gehäufte Präsenz des‚Vibe' in unterschiedlichen Zusammenhängen von der Theorie über die Kunst bis in die Alltagskultur zum Anlass einer konstellativen Analyse, um den Vibe als spezifische Wissensfigur in Betracht zu ziehen.
When the clothes fit: Exploring the embodied transition to motherhood
Authors: DeLuca Jaime R. , Bustad Jacob J.
Published: September 2023

Clothing practices can assist women in cultivating a particular body image and, thus, are sutured with details regarding how they manage their identity and appearance. Clothing can also help women cope with corporeal transitions, such as pregnancy. The relationship between clothing and one’s perception of their body shape changes during pregnancy as does how women feel about their clothes as they assume a new maternal identity. However, there is a lack of scholarly attention focused on exploring how postpartum mothers manage and relate to their bodies through clothing. Anchored in qualitative data collected from 128 in-depth, longitudinal interviews with 32 women at three, six, nine and twelve months postpartum, this article explores how postpartum body image, satisfaction and change are intricately linked with clothing across the first year after childbirth. Depicted through six women’s postpartum journeys, this article demonstrates that clothing becomes a barometer for bodily recovery following pregnancy and reveals details about maternal struggles, successes and spending patterns in the postpartum period.

Published: September 2023

This study aims to determine the patterns of family planning services during the pandemic and the providers' strategies in facing the new normal in the Special Region of Yogyakarta (DIY). This research uses a mixed method with a sequential explanatory design. This study found that the pattern of family planning services in DIY experienced changes when the COVID-19 pandemic occurred. Changes occurred in contraceptive coverage, types of contraception, methods, counselling behaviour and distribution of respondents serving family planning. Several providers have also conducted counselling through online media to increase family planning in the new normal period. However, they have not been able to solve the problem of family planning acceptors. The new family planning service strategy must pay attention to health protocols to minimize the risk of being infected with COVID-19 and increase the coverage of family planning acceptors. Therefore, a strategy is needed to realize the commitment and creativity of providers to improve the quality of counselling services through online media and provide services following health protocols in the era of the new normal.

Authors: Salsabila Aisyah , Budyanra Budyanra
Published: September 2023

Early childhood education is essential in the initial education process and in forming self-foundation. Java Island was the island with the highest average early childhood education gross enrollment rate in Indonesia in 2019. However, the difference in early childhood education gross enrollment rate between regions in Java is also the largest. The economic and socio-demographic conditions that support successful participation at the regional and household levels are not much different. This study aims to determine the general description of early childhood education participation status in Java in 2019, along with the determinants and trends of the variables that influence it. The analytical method used is multilevel binary logistic regression analysis using data from Susenas Kor March 2019 and Dapodik PAUD Kemendikbud. The results show that the participation in early childhood education in Java is 47.47%. All variables except the status of the area of residence had a significant effect, and the tendency to participate in early childhood education was more remarkable for girls. Participation in early childhood education also tends to be greater for children living in districts/cities with a high percentage of villages with a high PAUD unit and a high ratio of educators to children aged 3-6 years.
Migrasi dalam perspektif semiotika etnodemografi dan gender: Kasus masyarakat di hulu Sembakung, Kalimantan Utara
Authors: Hastuti Puji
Published: September 2023

State border areas are often considered rigid and isolated spaces, and this assumption is usually not in accordance with reality on the ground. Communities in border regions of Indonesia have kinship ties across countries, such as life across borders that occur in the upper Sembakung River. The river flows in the border area of North Kalimantan and upstream in Sabah, Malaysia. The problem occurs when to conduct social interaction, the population in the border area must conduct various negotiations on the rules of the spatial state. The natural morphology of the Sembakung River crossing connects the ethnic interactions of the population at the country's borderline, which is often assumed to threaten sovereignty. The concentration of state territory space, a legacy of colonial cartography, is not in line with the social boundaries of the population formed by the natural morphology of the Sembakung River channel, which provides space for residents to penetrate state boundaries. This paper explores cross-border interactions through the flow of the Sembakung River, which is strengthened by life cycle rites through the Mauss gift scheme, which is prone to creating marginalization of women. Cross-border social ties have penetrated rigid territorial boundaries. This situation resulted in the infiltration of economic commodities mobility intertwined with people's cultural activities in hulu Sembakung, a group of population with dual citizenship, and the practice of rites of exchange that are vulnerable to women's marginalization.
Pengaruh upah reservasi dan umur terhadap lama mencari kerja di Indonesia
Authors: Dewi Ratih Sari , Handayani Dwini
Published: September 2023

Reservation wage is the main variable in the job search model. Age effect based on the life course can also explains the differences in job search behavior. This study aims to understand the effect of reservation wage and age on job search duration. Using Indonesia’s Labor Force Survey, we first estimate the reservation wage of labour force aged 15-64 years with a Two-Step Heckman regression. The results show that reservation wage and age effect have an impact on job search duration. A per cent increase in reservation wages will extend job search duration by 0.97 months. The average reservation wage of the unemployed is higher than employed with a longer job search. The study found indications of discrimination against young job seekers (15-22). They are more likely to accept any work and vulnerable to receive indecent wages and hours. The higher their education and skills, the shorter their job search duration. The study also presumes a gap in agriculture, trade, and the construction industry and informal sector, indicated by high job turnover. The synergy among the workforce, firm, and government will support the utilization of Indonesia’s demographic dividend moment.

Authors: Barreto Anderson Cristian , Silva Marcio Rafael da , Souza Vânia de Fátima Matias de
Published: September 2023

O presente estudo objetivou verificar se a formação inicial e continuada de professores de Educação Física atuantes no Ensino Fundamental Anos Iniciais de uma rede pública municipal do noroeste paranaense contribui para o processo de inclusão de alunos com necessidades especiais (TEA/TDAH) no âmbito escolar. Participaram do estudo 06 professores de Educação Física, que responderam a uma entrevista semiestruturada sobre a formação inicial e continuada, estrutura física, material e pessoal e os aspectos inerentes a aptidão ao trabalho docente com alunos com TEA e TDAH. A análise dos dados ocorreu conforme pressupostos de análise de conteúdo com o tratamento dos dados em ordenação; classificação; e análise propriamente dita. Ocorreu a organização dos resultados pelos significados, aproximação e agrupamento das palavras contidas nas respostas. Os resultados apontaram que os docentes não possuem formação continuada que se origina da unidade gestora. Suas formações inicial e continuada (curso de especialização) possibilitaram uma base de conhecimentos para otimizar sua atuação no trato com os alunos que demande de atendimento educacional especializado. Os aspectos físicos e materiais são abundantes, porém o professor de apoio não acompanha os alunos nas aulas. Aponta-se para a necessidade de formações específicas e olhares atentos a um acompanhamento profissional específico nas aulas de Educação Física e para as demandas envolvendo crianças com TEA e TDAH.
Score! What is it Good for? Why Football Managers Need to Look Beyond Results
Authors: Simmons Iain
Published: September 2023

Outcome bias is a pervasive phenomenon in decision-making, referring to the tendency to evaluate decisions made under identical circumstances as more favourable when it results in the desired outcome. This paper analyses this cognitive bias in the context of top-flight European football, examining whether a Bayesian updating model distorted by a multiplicative outcome bias is valid. Managers make significantly more changes to their strategy following a loss than a win, even having controlled for expected performance, in-game performance, and team and game-specific variation. The results of this paper are consistent with a positive-outcome bias, but not necessarily a multiplicative bias.

Authors: Maulana Muhammad Akbar
Published: September 2023

In our daily lives, computers and keyboards are essential tools for both work and gaming. However, despite the variety of keyboards available on the market, few consider the comfort and needs of individual users. To solve this issue, a mechanical keyboard that can be adjusted in width, shape, and positioning is required to lessen hand injuries when used for extended periods. This research produces a mechanical keyboard hardware prototype using Arduino as the main component. The device will be connected to an electronic circuit and use C Language as supporting software. Tests were conducted to compare existing keyboards on the market related to function tests, compatibility, usability, and performance tests. The results show that all hardware components function perfectly at 98% capacity.
Analisis Yuridis Rekomendasi Bawaslu Tentang Diskualifikasi Petahana (Studi Kasus Pilkada Kabupaten Tasikmalaya Tahun 2020)
Authors: Jani Nur
Published: September 2023

This research was motivated by the polemic on the recommendation of the General Election Supervisory Board (Bawaslu) of Tasikmalaya Regency regarding the disqualification of incumbent Tasikmalaya Regent Candidates who allegedly took advantage of government programs during the 2020 Tasikmalaya Regency Regional Head Election (Pilkada). Meanwhile, the General Election Commission (KPU), which did not implement the recommendations, was decided to have acted according to its authority. Demonstrations were rife everywhere which raised the precariousness of the Pilkada at that time. So, the author's research object is the disqualification recommendation documents which are formally and materially reviewed according to Law Number 10 of 2016 concerning the Election of Governors, Regents, Mayors with qualitative research of the type of retrospective case studies collecting recommendation documents disqualified from Bawaslu, KPU, DKPP, sources of legislation, interviews and the mass media. The results showed that the recommendation for disqualification violated authority in terms of time (onbevoegdheid ratione temporis), so that the Bawaslu was considered unprofessional.
Elemental analysis of Fadogia ancylantha leaves used as a nutraceutical in Mashonaland West Province, Zimbabwe
Authors: Muzenda Tom , Shoko Ryman , Chimwanda Peter , Ndlovu Joice
Published: September 2023

In this study, the concentrations of the essential elements to the human body N, K, Mg, P, Ca, Fe, Mn, and Zn of the fermented and non-fermented Fadogia ancylantha leaf samples were analysed to assess their nutritional value in two different areas in Zimbabwe: Mhangura (Mashonaland West, Province) and Alaska (Mashonaland West Province). Atomic absorption spectroscopy and ultraviolet spectrophotometry techniques were used to measure the concentrations of the minerals. The concentrations of manganese were significantly high (p < 0.05) in non-fermented treatments, with Mhangura samples having 0.447 mg/g and Alaska samples having 0.453 mg/g. Iron was high in fermented samples with Mhangura samples having 0.245 mg/g and Alaska samples having 0.270 mg/g. The concentrations of manganese and iron in Fadogia ancylantha can be used to supplement the recommended daily doses in pregnant, menstruating, and lactating women. The study, therefore, recommends that Fadogia ancylantha be used as a nutraceutical for the supplementation of iron and manganese.

Published: September 2023

This article aimed to explore the rehabilitation efficacy of intelligent rehabilitation training systems in hemiplegic limb spasms after stroke and provided more theoretical basis for the application of intelligent rehabilitation systems in the rehabilitation of hemiplegic limb spasms after stroke. To explore the rehabilitation efficacy of intelligent rehabilitation training system (RTS for short here) in post-stroke hemiplegic limb spasms, this study selected 99 patients with post-stroke hemiplegic limb spasms admitted to a local tertiary hospital from March 2021 to March 2023 as the research subjects. This article used blind selection to randomly divide them into three groups: control group 1, control group 2, and study group, with 33 patients in each group. Control group 1 used a conventional RTS, group 2 used the brain–computer interface RTS from reference 9, and research group used the intelligent RTS from this article. This article compared the degree of spasticity, balance ability score, motor function score, and daily living activity score of three groups of patients after 10 weeks of treatment. After 10 weeks of treatment, the number of patients in the study group with no spasms at level 0 (24) was significantly higher than the number of patients in group 1 (7) and group 2 (10), with a statistically significant difference (P < 0.05); In the comparison of Barthel index scores, after ten weeks of treatment, the total number of people in the study group with scores starting at 71–80 and 81–100 was 23. The total number of people in the score range of 71–80 and 81–100 in group 1 was 5, while in group 2, the total number of people in this score range was 8. The study group scored considerably higher than the control group and the difference was found to be statistically relevant (P < 0.05). In the Berg balance assessment scale and motor function assessment scale, after 10 weeks of treatment, the scores of the study group patients on both scales were significantly higher than those of group 1 and group 2 (P < 0.05). The intelligent RTS is beneficial for promoting the improvement of spasticity in stroke patients with hemiplegic limb spasms, as well as improving their balance ability, motor ability, and daily life activities. Its rehabilitation effect is good.
Combination of a bronchogenic cyst in the thoracic spinal canal with chronic myelocytic leukemia
Authors: Zhang Hao , Li Hai-Feng , Duan Hai-Feng , Huang Ke-Feng , Tian Zhi-Hua
Published: September 2023

The presented case report describes an incredibly rare instance of an intramedullary bronchial cyst located in the thoracic spinal canal on the dorsal side of the spinal cord, which was observed in a patient with chronic myelogenous leukemia. A 29-year-old man presented with back pain for half a month, along with numbness and pain below the chest and ribs for 1 week. Hypersensitivity was present in the inferior plane of the long xiphoid process in the nervous system. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed intramedullary cystic lesions in the vertebral body plane of the third to the fourth thoracic vertebra. There was no recurrence during the 6-month postoperative follow-up period. The histopathological findings were consistent with bronchogenic cysts. Cystic lesions were eliminated through the posterior median approach. After the cyst ruptured during surgery, gel liquid was seen, and the majority of the cyst walls were removed. One week after the surgery, the hypersensitivity fully subsided. Six months following surgery, an updated MRI revealed no recurrence. Intramedullary bronchogenic cysts on the dorsal side of the thoracic spine are extremely uncommon. Diagnosis requires histopathological evidence, and it is challenging to diagnose before surgery. Prompt surgical resection is recommended in case of positive diagnosis.

Published: September 2023

The cement industry is considered one of the strategic industries, because it is directly related to construction work and cement is used as a hydraulic binder. However, it is a simple industry compared to major industries and depends on the availability of the necessary raw materials. This study focuses on optimizing and coordinating the location of raw materials needed for the cement manufacturing in Wasit Governorate in Iraq. Field works include detailed reconnaissance, topographic work, and description and sampling of 24 lithological sections that represent the carbonate deposits, which crop out in the area. The investigated area has the following specifications: The weighted averages of chemical components in the industrial bed are as follows: CaO = 47.83%, MgO = 1.12%, SiO2 = 7.28%, SO3 = 0.34%, Fe2O3 = 1.85%, Al2O3 = 1.85%, L.O.I = 39.26%, Na2O = 0.29%, and K2O = 0.38%. The average thickness of the investigated raw materials is 15.68 m. The average bulk density of the investigated raw materials is 2.32 g/cm3. The compressive strength of the investigated raw materials ranges from 6.182 to 55.21 MN/m2. The positive area is 922,552 m2. The volume of the industrial bed is 14,466,242 m3. The economic reserve of the industrial bed is 33,561,682 tons.
Bischöfe beim Kaiser. Norm, Praxis und Darstellung unter Konstantins Söhnen
Authors: Schulz Fabian
Published: September 2023

Dreißig Jahre nach der konstantinischen Wende, die den Kaiser zu einem wichtigeren Akteur der Kirche gemacht hatte, ärgerten sich die führenden Bischöfe darüber, dass Provinzbischöfe und Abweichler die Aufmerksamkeit und die Gunst des Kaisers erlangen konnten. Um den eigenen Einfluss zu sichern, wurden auf Konzilen in Antiochien und Serdika Beschlüsse gefasst, die die Kontakte von Bischöfen zum Kaiser regulierten. Dieser Aufsatz versucht in einem ersten Schritt, die jeweilige Motivation und Zielsetzung der Bischöfe zu rekonstruieren. Anschließend werden Hypothesen über die Präferenzen der Kaiser gebildet, die von den Regelungen ja unmittelbar betroffen waren. Waren die Kanones (zumal im Westen) gegen die Macht des Hofes gerichtet, wie viele Wissenschaftler denken? Schließlich werden wir in einer Fallstudie zu Athanasius untersuchen, ob diese Regelungen in der kaiserlichen und kirchlichen Praxis griffen und wie ihre Einhaltung und Missachtung literarisch inszeniert wurde. So werden Norm, Praxis und Darstellung zu einem Gesamtbild zusammengebracht, das neue Aufschlüsse über das Verhältnis von Staat und Kirche im Osten und Westen des römischen Reichs verspricht.
Scripture, Sovereignty and National Self-Determination in Martin Buber’s Bein Am Le’Artzo (1944)
Authors: Rubin Abraham
Published: September 2023

This paper investigates Buber’s understanding of the relationship between the Jewish people and the Promised Land as it emerges from his biblical commentaries of the 1940s. It argues that Buber’s exegetical writings from the period should be read as an extension of his political pronouncements on Zionism, complementing his binational vision of Arab-Jewish coexistence in Palestine. Focusing on Buber’s 1944 lectures published under the title Bein Am Le’Artzo, I show how Buber questions the indigenous identification between the people and Land of Israel. Drawing on Amnon Raz-Krakotzkin’s theoretical concept of “exile within sovereignty,” I read Buber’s commentaries on the commandments of shmita and bikurim as an attempt to integrate the memory of exile within his vision of Zionism. The biblical resonance he attributes to the Jews’ resettlement in Palestine thus forms a pointed polemic against the ideal of Jewish nativism. In contrast to those who used the Bible in order to mythologize the Jews’ autochthonous relationship to the land of origins, Buber’s commentaries stress the diasporic consciousness preserved in the scriptures themselves.
Programmable optical meta-holograms
Authors: Zhang Jing Cheng , Fan Yubin , Yao Jin , Chen Mu Ku , Lin Shirong , Liang Yao , Leng Borui , Tsai Din Ping
Published: September 2023

The metaverse has captured significant attention as it provides a virtual realm that cannot be experienced in the physical world. Programmable optical holograms, integral components of the metaverse, allow users to access diverse information without needing external equipment. Meta-devices composed of artificially customized nano-antennas are excellent candidates for programmable optical holograms due to their compact footprint and flexible electromagnetic manipulation. Programmable optical meta-holograms can dynamically alter reconstructed images in real-time by directly modulating the optical properties of the metasurface or by modifying the incident light. Information can be encoded across multiple channels and freely selected through switchable functionality. These advantages will broaden the range of virtual scenarios in the metaverse, facilitating further development and practical applications. This review concentrates on recent advancements in the fundamentals and applications of programmable optical meta-holograms. We aim to provide readers with general knowledge and potential inspiration for applying programmable optical meta-holograms, both intrinsic and external ways, into the metaverse for better performance. An outlook and perspective on the challenges and prospects in these rapidly growing research areas are provided.
Die ausgebliebene Ahndung
Authors: Bernhard Patrick
Published: September 2023

Zu den wenig beachteten Opfern der NS-Diktatur gehören tuberkulosekranke Menschen. Das liegt nicht zuletzt daran, dass Fälle von gezielter Patientenvernachlässigung, physischer Gewalt und schließlich Mord nach 1945 juristisch nicht belangt wurden, soweit es deutsche Opfer betraf. Patrick Bernhard fragt nach den Gründen dafür und zeigt auf der Basis neu erschlossener Quellen, dass dies mit dem Unwillen zusammenhing, Verbrechen zu ahnden, die nicht in Konzentrationslagern oder als genuin nationalsozialistisch begriffenen Institutionen begangen worden waren. So kann man das Vorgehen der beteiligten Juristen als erfolgreichen Versuch begreifen, den Nationalsozialismus und die in seinem Namen begangenen Verbrechen einzuhegen und sie auf bestimmte Tatkomplexe, Täter und Tatorte zu begrenzen. Der Aufsatz verweist damit auch darauf, wie in der westdeutschen Gesellschaft „Normalität“ konstruiert wurde.
Exploring firm performance in Central and Eastern European regions: a foundational approach
Authors: Egyed Ildikó , Zsibók Zsuzsanna
Published: September 2023

Economic development in post-transition countries is dominated by the performance of capital cities, although second-tier cities are also important drivers of development. However, peripheral regions struggle with problems of adaptation and response, often leading to brain drain and economic decline. Industrial strategies highlight those tradable sectors of the economy that favour leading edge KIBS firms and advanced manufacturing, while neglecting the residentiary economy that is more sheltered from competition and provides jobs in local production and services sectors. Our research is inspired by the burgeoning literature of the ‘foundational economy’ approach to economic development, focusing on mundane economic activities providing essential goods and services, and we investigate the differences of economic performance across the NUTS3 regions in selected CEE countries. We study regionally aggregated, firm-level financial and employment data including sectoral classification of the companies with 10+ employees. Our position is that a well-functioning foundational economy is necessary for the whole local economy to work efficiently in the long run. Moreover, increasing productivity in the foundational economy should lead to more regionally balanced growth than an exclusive focus on the ‘frontier firms’ that are highly concentrated spatially as the regional productivity gap in the case of certain foundational activities is not necessarily large.

REFLEXÕES SOBRE GÊNERO, EUROCENTRISMO E INF NCIA INDÍGENA NA PERSPECTIVA DA "COLONIALIDADE DO PODER"
Authors: Neder Kaira , Schlindwein Santino Fernando
Published: September 2023

Objetivamos trazer para o debate a perspectiva da Colonialidade do Poder como meio para discutir a superação/diminuição da desigualdade racial e de gênero, bem como delinear as contribuições desta para os temas relativos à infância indígena no Brasil. No que diz respeito à metodologia, realizamos uma pesquisa bibliográfica, de caráter descritivo-analítico, com ênfase na obra de Rita Segato, intitulada: “Crítica da Colonialidade em oito ensaios: e uma antropologia por demanda”, considerando esta, buscamos realizar articulações políticas sobre crianças/infâncias indígenas, mais especificamente, sobre como a legislação brasileira “enxerga” questões relacionadas ao “infanticídio indígena”. Ao findar, nas considerações finais, evidenciamos que a Colonialidade do Poder em consonância com a Educação da sociedade brasileira, apresentam-se como possibilidades de se (re)pensar teorias, práticas e visões errôneas do patriarcado de alta intensidade, proporcionando mais poder político para as mulheres e povos indígenas, por exemplo. Com isso, será possível pensar e realizar o “Giro Decolonial” para reconstruir o presente e o futuro, com base em uma releitura do passado.
FEMINISMO NEGRO COMO MECANISMO DE TRANSFORMAÇÃO SOCIAL
Authors: Reis Silva Luciene , Braga Moruzzi Andrea
Published: September 2023

O processo de escravização de pessoas negras foi o ato mais desumano creditado na história do Brasil. A prática racista advinda do período colonial se expressa concretamente como desigualdade política, social, cultural, educacional e econômica. Reconhecer a existência do racismo é identificar  a incoerência dele enquanto ideologia - conjunto de ideias e valores sociais, que se estrutura na lógica de superioridade de sujeitos brancos em detrimento de sujeitos negros. O presente artigo  se insere em um projeto de pesquisa cujo propósito é investigar as diferentes expressões dos feminismos negros e a forma pela qual eles nos ajudam a pensar diretrizes e orientações para uma educação antissexista e antirracista. Entre as várias intelectuais negras sobre as quais tal pesquisa se debruça está Grada Kilomba e especificamente o seu livro “Memórias da Plantação: episódios de racismo cotidiano”, fruto de sua tese de doutorado. Procura-se nesse texto revisitar as contribuições do feminismo negro de Grada Kilomba para pensar sobre os  corpos racializados, especificamente corpos de mulheres negras, intencionando compreender a intersecção entre os conceitos de raça, de gênero e estruturas de poder, assim como as contribuições do feminismo negro para a ascensão socioeducacional de mulheres negras. A metodologia utilizada faz parte do escopo de investigação antirracista e feminista, elencando direcionamentos propositivos para uma educação nessas dimensões. Como indicativo dessa preposição, observa-se que o feminismo negro de Kilomba atribui grande importância para aquisição de um novo vocabulário antirracista que possa produzir subjetividades negras afirmativas e subjetividades brancas antirracistas.
CONVERSAS (SOBRE)VIVER ÀS FRONTEIRAS, FEMINISMO DA DIFERENÇA E EDUCAÇÃO, ACOMPANHADAS DE GLORIA ANZALDÚA
Authors: Cristina Bomfim Juliana , Aparecida de Moura Taís
Published: September 2023

O presente artigo, ancorado nas reflexões de Gloria Anzaldúa, teve por objetivo apresentar algumas considerações sobre o existir nas fronteiras, a partir da perspectiva epistemológica da diferença interseccional e articulações que perpassam conceitos como consciência mestiça, entre-lugares e possíveis contribuições do feminismo da diferença para pensarmos experiências na Educação (das infâncias). Optou-se pela pesquisa qualitativa de cunho bibliográfico, por meio de leituras analíticas de artigos e livros que contemplam a temática. De modo especial, a consciência da nova mestiça, portanto, faz um inventário, passa a história por uma peneira, anuncia a ruptura e as tradições opressoras, documenta a luta e reinterpreta a história com novos símbolos e criando mitos. Nesta perspectiva, a consciência da nova mestiça é um projeto de recuperação da consciência política. Um texto multilíngue, escrito em inglês, espanhol e náhuatl é parte de sua metodologia, como a própria autora expõe um “salto de códigos” que reflete as exigências linguísticas de linguagem da fronteira, de um território de múltiplos idiomas mestiços. A língua chicana também é uma mestiçagem que dilui dualismos. Espera-se que as reflexões apresentadas fortaleçam uma concepção alternativa ao adultocentrismo que, infelizmente, ainda marca as relações entre as crianças e as pessoas adultas. Desejamos que tais reflexões desacomodem e que também sejam inspiração para outros debates entrelaçando feminismos, Educação e infâncias.
Um CONVITE - APROXIME-SE E VERÁ

Published: September 2023

Objetivamos divulgar e popularizar o debate/pensamento da bell hooks relacionando-o com a educação, em especial, a Educação Infantil, por meio da literatura infantil com perspectivas feministas. Para isso, utilizamos como metodologia, a pesquisa qualitativa, de caráter descritivo analítico. Nossa abordagem consistiu-se na leitura e análise do livro: “O feminismo é para todo mundo: Políticas arrebatadoras” da autora bell hooks (2018), os conceitos-chave discutidos no livro são acerca de: “gênero”,“raça”, “classe”, “empoderamento feminino”, “sororidade”, “sexismo”, “misoginia” e sobre a “sociedade patriarcal”. Um dos pontos destacados por hooks (2018) é a escassez de livros infantis, ela considera que poucas pessoas dos movimentos feministas escrevem livros infantis ou sequer tem este público, as crianças, como foco. Por esse motivo, neste estudo, selecionamos, descrevemos e analisamos três livros infantis, a saber: "Meu crespo é de rainha", "Princesas em Greve" e "As bonecas da vó Maria" com a intenção de divulgar/inspirar a construção de mais literatura infantil que possa articular-se com os movimentos feministas. Ao finalizar o estudo, acreditamos que a prática do diálogo nos contextos educacionais, desde a mais tenra idade, é um dos meios mais potentes com a qual nós, como professoras, acadêmicas e pensadoras críticas, podemos começar a (re)pensar, cruzar as fronteiras e as barreiras que podem ou não ser erguidas pela raça, pelo gênero e pela classe social. Esse artigo é um convite à percepção dessas dimensões a partir de bell hooks.
HISTÓRIAS DE TRAVESTIS NO MOVIMENTO BRASILEIRO DE PROSTITUTAS
Authors: Cardoso Barreto Letícia
Published: September 2023

O movimento organizado de prostitutas no Brasil atua desde a década de 70, marcado por lutas contra a ditadura civil-militar, a Aids, o tráfico de pessoas e por tentativas de interferir em ações do poder público. Objetivamos analisar como se construíram as relações do movimento organizado de prostitutas, formado prioritariamente por mulheres cis, com as mulheres trans, que se deu principalmente através de travestis. Observamos que a participação incluiu momentos de protagonismo, invisibilidade, afastamento e reaproximação. Se a primeira manifestação pública foi organizada por travestis e transexuais em reação a ações repressivas relacionadas à ditadura civil-militar, em outros momentos estas se afastaram do movimento, almejando se distanciar também do estigma que associa a transexualidade ou a travestilidade à prostituição. Em meados dos anos 2010 vemos uma reaproximação entre movimentos de travestis e movimentos de prostitutas, que traz novas pautas e questões para o movimento e suas formas de atuação.

Authors: Alves Dombkowitsch Luciana , Netto Brum Amanda , Duro Dias Renato
Published: September 2023

Este estudo investiga algumas possibilidades de políticas educativas centradas na justiça curricular, como caminho para a concretização de uma justiça social. De abordagem qualitativa e metodologia bibliográfica a proposta avança tendo como hipótese que o cinema se constitui como uma ferramenta de aprendizagem, ou seja, como uma possiblidade de construção pedagógica pautada em justiça curricular. Para tanto, no primeiro momento abordar-se-á a forma como o neoliberalismo vem impondo uma transformação nas políticas públicas educativas por meio da introdução do currículo neoliberal.  Já no segundo momento problematiza-se a forma como os professores fazem política e como a política faz professores. Logo, questiona-se a possibilidade de existir Justiça Curricular dentro de um modelo de educação neoliberal, e por fim, apresenta-se, a partir do filme A Forma d’água, o cinema como ferramenta de aprendizagem, isto é, como uma possiblidade de construção pedagógica pautada em uma justiça curricular  despatriarcalizada, anticlassita, antirracista e LGBTQIAP+ inclusivo.

Ataxia telangiectasia and Rad3-related protein (ATR) is a critical component of the DNA damage response and a potential target in the treatment of cancers. An ATR inhibitor, BAY 1895344, was evaluated for its use in differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) therapy. BAY 1895344 inhibited cell viability in four DTC cell lines (TPC1, K1, FTC-133, and FTC-238) in a dose-dependent manner. BAY 1895344 treatment arrested DTC cells in the G2/M phase, increased caspase-3 activity, and caused apoptosis. BAY 1895344 in combination with either sorafenib or lenvatinib showed mainly synergistic effects in four DTC cell lines. The combination of BAY 1895344 with dabrafenib plus trametinib revealed synergistic effects in K1 cells that harbor BRAFV600E. BAY 1895344 monotherapy retarded the growth of K1 and FTC-133 tumors in xenograft models. The combinations of BAY 1895344 plus lenvatinib and BAY 1895344 with dabrafenib plus trametinib were more effective than any single therapy in a K1 xenograft model. No appreciable toxicity appeared in animals treated with either a single therapy or a combination treatment. Our findings provide the rationale for the development of clinical trials of BAY 1895344 in the treatment of DTC.

The biochemical phenotype of paragangliomas (PGLs) is highly dependent on the underlying genetic background and tumor location. PGLs at extra-adrenal locations usually do not express phenylethanolamine N-methyltransferase (PNMT), the enzyme required for epinephrine production, which was explained by the absence of glucocorticoids. PGLs with pathogenic variants (PVs) in Harvey rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog (HRAS) can occur in or outside of the adrenal, but always synthesize epinephrine independently of the localization. Here, we characterize the signaling pathways through which PVs in HRAS influence PNMT expression. Catecholamines, cortisol, and transcriptional features of PGL tissues with known genetic background were analyzed. Genetically modified rat pheochromocytoma cells carrying PVs in Hras were generated and analyzed for regulation of Pnmt expression. Elevated epinephrine contents in PGLs with PVs in HRAS were accompanied by enrichment in mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling compared to PGLs with PVs in genes that activate hypoxia pathways. In vitro, Hras PVs increased Pnmt expression and epinephrine biosynthesis through increased phosphorylation of stimulatory protein 1 via MAPK signaling. Here, we provide a molecular mechanism that explains the PV-dependent epinephrine production of PGLs.

Undoubtedly, road accidents are a public health problem, the impact and importance of which have increased in recent decades. Road safety data have systematically shown how cyclists are very vulnerable to being involved in a car accident and suffering serious injuries resulting from it. Furthermore, although the data are still very limited, in addition to the other human factors involved in cycling accidents, distraction when using the bicycle seems to contribute significantly to the road risk of riders. It is well known that driving is a complex process that requires the simultaneous existence of physical, mental and sensory abilities. Despite the complexity of driving, it is observed that drivers deal with things that are irrelevant to the driving task. And this is a huge problem in transport safety, the distraction of the driver. With the growing number of portable devices as well as the electronic help and entertainment systems offered to the driver, the sources of distraction are constantly increasing. The purpose of this study is to understand the phenomenon of driver distraction and to export results, important for the progress in dealing with the phenomenon by the various agencies that can be used as a basis for further research. More specifically, a summary of the recent literature on driver distraction is made, focusing specifically on the distraction of drivers, both by technological means and by external factors. Finally, a methodological approach is applied to the phenomenon, and in particular to the distraction of the bicycle driver in the urban environment, which includes the realization of an experiment in real conditions in the city of Volos. The research involved 15 drivers, who were asked to perform a specific route by cycling and following specific instructions through a navigator. The data collected were analyzed and showed that the phenomenon of driver distraction is real and is a high-risk factor.

As urban problems and the COVID-19 pandemic worsen, public health issues are taken seriously. As an important part of building environment, urban green space has been concerned about its health. The paper of 2035 in Web of Science Core database is taken as the research object, and CiteSpace visualization software is used for research and analysis to clarify the status quo of urban green space and health (UGSH) field. The research shows that the research object has gradually expanded from a single green space to cities, countries and the world. The research focuses on the relationship between people and green space, and discusses the comprehensive benefits of green space. Research methods from early investigation and evaluation, simulation experiment to qualitative and quantitative cross analysis, formed a relatively perfect subjective and objective research paradigm. In addition, the research content mainly focuses on the urban ecosystem, mental health and physical health. In a review of the existing research, the urban green space to promote public health, the improvement of human welfare puts forward three Suggestions: 1) in the urban planning, the city as a comprehensive social ecosystem, the urban green space planning and design should pay attention to provide ecosystem services and create a social network, in order to improve the social and environmental justice; 2) Urban planning should consider residents' preferences for different green Spaces to create a more pleasant living environment; 3) Improve the coverage of urban green infrastructure and expand the ecological network.
