Conflito mimético apropriativo nos discursos do processo eleitoral 2024: uma análise sob a perspectiva girardiana
Authors: De Sousa Santos Aires , Dias de Castro Maria Célia , Brito dos Santos Gisélia
Published: December 2024

Este trabalho analisa o conflito mimético apropriativo utilizado durante o processo eleitoral em discursos simbólicos com o propósito de alcançar o cargo de prefeito do município de Balsas/MA (Brasil). A investigação aplica a teoria mimética e do gênero do discurso aos discursos políticos dos candidatos, os quais revelam disputas por autoridade, controle ou protagonismo em que diferentes grupos competem por legitimação de suas visões, divulgadas nas redes sociais, durante as eleições municipais. Os discursos são interpretados a partir de uma perspectiva fenomenológica do conflito mimético apropriativo e os resultados revelam apelo à projeção midiática de influenciadores digitais, desconstrução da imagem do candidato adversário, apropriação do sagrado e manipulação da opinião pública com a utilização de narrativas miméticas apropriativas. Conclui-se que é crucial fomentar um espaço de diálogo, empatia e entendimento, permitindo que as diferenças sejam abordadas construtivamente, em vez de serem transformadas em rivalidades destrutivas.
HABILIDADES SOCIAIS EDUCATIVAS EM MÃES E PAIS DE CRIANÇAS COM DIAGNÓSTICO DE TEA
Authors: Soares Damasco Rodrigues Eduardo , Benevides Soares Adriana
Published: December 2024

O Transtorno do Espectro Autista (TEA) é descrito pelo DSM-V-TR como um transtorno do neurodesenvolvimento, caracterizado pelos prejuízos persistentes na comunicação e interação social, além de comportamentos repetitivos e interesses restritos. Segundo o Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), uma a cada trinta e seis crianças recebem esse diagnóstico na primeira infância. Com isso, cada vez mais famílias são impactadas pelas novas formas de lidar com essas demandas, marcadas pelo manejo constante dos comportamentos atípicos dos filhos, desafios emocionais, rede de apoio insuficiente, dificuldade no acesso aos tratamentos, etc. emergindo diversos tipos de sobrecarga. Como estratégias de enfrentamento desses desafios as Habilidades Sociais Educativas Parentais (HSE-P) se apresentam como fatores protetivos para esses cuidadores. O objetivo do estudo foi identificar e comparar as HSE-P em mães e pais de crianças com diagnóstico de TEA a partir de uma pesquisa descritiva, transversal, de natureza qualiquantitativa com comparação de grupos, contando com dez mães e dez pais que responderam o Roteiro de Entrevistas de Habilidades Sociais Educativas Parentais (REHSE-P). Os resultados evidenciaram que as mães apresentaram um repertório mais amplo de HSE-P, tendendo a práticas positivas. Em contrapartida, os pais demonstraram maior frequência de práticas negativas. Esses achados sugerem que desigualdades de gênero estão refletidas na qualidade das interações parentais e no bem-estar dos cuidadores, sendo as HSE-P essenciais para fortalecer a relação cuidador-filho. O estudo aponta para a importância de programas de treinamento em HSE-P como estratégia para minimizar o impacto das demandas impostas pelo cuidado de crianças com TEA.

Published: December 2024

Ganoderma resinaceum is a traditional mushroom that contains natural products, including ergothioneine (EGT), which has powerful antioxidant properties in the human body. To increase EGT yield from G. resinaceum, the optimal carbon and nitrogen sources in the culture medium were determined as 20 g/L sucrose and 4 g/L NH4Cl, respectively. The fermentation conditions were then optimized using response surface methodology, with the highest EGT yield of approximately 4.10 mg/L achieved at an initial pH of 5.19, a culture medium volume of 118 mL, and a fermentation temperature of 26.90°C. After extraction, EGT was purified using Sephadex G-10, resulting in a purity of 43.72%. Both the crude and purified EGT extracts were evaluated for their inhibitory activity against xanthine oxidase in vitro, with positive results. These findings suggest the potential for developing edible fungi-derived medicines to treat gout, which could alleviate the side effects of traditional medicines.
Syndrome of Inappropriate Antidiuresis
Authors: Rosner Mitchell H. , Rondon-Berrios Helbert , Sterns Richard H.
Published: December 2024

Syndrome of inappropriate antidiuresis (SIAD)—the most frequent cause of hypotonic hyponatremia—is mediated by nonosmotic release of arginine vasopressin, which promotes water retention by activating renal vasopressin type 2 (V2) receptors. There are numerous causes of SIAD, including malignancy, pulmonary and central nervous system diseases, and medications. Rare activating mutations of the V2 receptor can also cause SIAD. Determination of the etiology of SIAD is important because removal of the stimulus for inappropriate arginine vasopressin secretion offers the most effective therapy. Treatment of SIAD is guided by symptoms and their severity, as well as the level of plasma sodium. In the absence of severe symptoms, which require urgent intervention, many clinicians focus on fluid restriction as a first-line treatment. Second-line therapeutic options include loop diuretics and salt tablets, urea, and V2 receptor antagonists.

Beliefs about Autonomy Support and Control in the Classroom
Authors: Moss Jennifer , Wheeler Theodore
Published: December 2024

Montessori education is characterized by autonomous learning, whereas traditional education is often depicted by high structure and fewer choice opportunities. This study examined differences in beliefs of Montessori and traditional teachers in regard to effectiveness, normality, and ease of autonomy-supportive and controlling teaching, as well as differences in motivating styles. We analyzed the U.S. subset from an international study examining self-described motivation styles and beliefs. Our secondary analysis revealed both groups felt autonomy-supportive teaching was easy and effective, and that they found controlling teaching also to be easy, but ineffective. Montessori teachers were more likely to believe autonomy-supportive teaching was normal, whereas traditional teachers believed controlling teaching was more normal. Both groups described their teaching style as autonomy-supportive, but traditional teachers more often rated controlling scenarios as similar to their own practices. These differences, supported by large effect sizes, demonstrate more potential for controlling behavior in traditional classrooms and suggest the possibility of a cultural difference between Montessori and traditional teachers.
Implementing the Ages and Stages Questionnaires in a Montessori Setting
Authors: Postlewaite Elyse , Avello Dalia , Massie Catherine , Sabater Ayize
Published: December 2024

Montessori educators face increasing demands to support growing numbers of students who have developmental delays or disabilities, and early detection and support are essential. Yet, detecting developmental delays is a complex task, and early childhood educators do not typically receive specialized training. The Ages and Stages Questionnaires (ASQ) is a set of valid and reliable developmental screening tools widely used in education and health settings, but ASQ use has not been assessed in Montessori settings. In a pre/post, multimethod design, this study examined the perceptions and impact of an ASQ training—adapted for Montessori settings—for guides and administrators. The results suggest the ASQ training and implementation of its tools were perceived as beneficial and valuable. The training positively influenced participants’ attitudes and beliefs, skills and knowledge, confidence and self-efficacy, and access to resources. Alumni of the training had similar attitudes and beliefs, as well as confidence and self-efficacy, compared to recent trainees, although alumni’s skills and knowledge, as well as access to resources, were more advanced than the recent trainees. Qualitative findings also point to the benefits of the training while highlighting the realities, needs, and challenges Montessori educators face. This study provides evidence that Montessori educators benefit from ASQ developmental screening training. Through ASQ training and implementation, Montessori educators can gain a better understanding of students’ developmental milestones, more effectively observe their students’ behaviors, and more confidently advocate for students’ support needs.
BOOK REVIEW The Montessori Movement in Interwar Europe: New Perspectives
Authors: Debs Mira Catherine
Published: December 2024

In recent years, biographical studies of Maria Montessori have increasingly moved away presenting Montessori as a singular pedagogical genius, to considering Montessori as a movement builder immersed in a complicated, dense and changing international network of theorists, practitioners and policymakers. Scholars have highlighted the wide-ranging intellectual networks of feminists, doctors, anthropologists, philosophers, theosophists, Catholics, fascists and pacifists whose work Montessori was reading and actively engaging with, even after leaving academic research. In addition, new research presents how all of these thinkers were actively debating Montessori education, grappling with a wide range of pedagogical, theological and philosophical issues, and defying the representation of Montessori education as a single ideological monolith. Christine Quarfood, a professor of the History of Ideas at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden, makes a vital contribution to this conversation. Thanks to a translation from Swedish into English, Christine Quarfood’s 2017 study Montessoris pedagogiska imperium: kulturkritik och politik i mellankrigstidens Montessorirörelse (Dansk Band: 2017) is now available to English-speaking readers as The Montessori Movement in Interwar Europe: New Perspectives (Palgrave Macmillan: 2022).

Published: December 2024

Partimos de la premisa de que para entender lo acontecido en Ecuador en junio de 2022 y los procesos que siguieron a la protesta social, al instalarse y luego al culminar las mesas de diálogo, solo pueden ser abordados si se coloca a esa coyuntura como parte de una acción y de una dinámica histórica que enmarcan y permiten entender la lucha concreta de un movimiento social en una coyuntura específica. Solamente así adquiere sentido el pliego concreto de peticiones sobre el que se negoció y las demandas que planteadas al gobierno por parte del movimiento indígena.
“Man, Soil and Time”: the Civilizational Concept of Malek Bennabi
Authors:   Russian Academy of Sciences Institute of Philosophy (Moscow), Nofal Faris
Published: December 2024

The article reviews civilizational concept by Malek Bennabi (1905–1973) – a prominent
Algerian philosopher and a public person. The author analyzes two treatises by the thinker (“The
Nativity of Society” (1960) and “The Conditions of Renaissance” (1949)) in comparison to the
theories by famous European culture experts of the beginning of the 20th century. The present
work shows that using as a basis systems by A. Toynbee and L. Lévy -Bruhl Bennabi develops his
own apology of Arabic and Muslim civilization: in ‘L’Afro-asiatisme’ ideologist opinion, the latter
neither genetically nor structurally differs from European and Chinese culture. In contrast with
‘motionless’ primitive societies, the civilization meets a challenge of religious or religious and
philosophical doctrine, and in its development creates the relations between their personalities,
the environment (‘soil’) and social experience (‘time’). These relations, according to Bennabi,
consistently go through three historical periods – the era of ‘spirit’, ‘mind’ and ‘instincs’. At the
end of the treatise there is a conclusion about the author’s philosophy of permanence of essential
features of alive civilizations. It is also mentioned common religious and philosophical, not the
sociological character of the thinker’s study.

Synergistic Application of Geoelectrical Methods for Mapping Placers along the Coastal Periphery of Southern Odisha, India
Authors: Singh Akarsh , Agrahari Sudha
Published: December 2024

This study examines the distribution and amount of placer deposits enriched with heavy minerals along the coastal region of Odisha, India utilizing a combination of geoelectrical techniques. Abundant heavy mineral placers have been identified along the southern coast of Odisha. However, while geological investigations have been conducted, there is a notable absence of geophysical analyses in this specific area. To ascertain both the horizontal and vertical extensions of heavy mineral placer deposits, a comprehensive investigation was undertaken, involving the execution of 23 ERT (Electrical Resistivity Tomography) and TDIP (Time-Domain Induced Polarization) profiles within the designated study zone. These profiles unveiled substantial heavy-mineral zones spanning from shallow layers to depths of approximately 10-15 m. Two primary patterns of mineralization were discerned: firstly, dispersed occurrences which manifested closer to the surface, characterized by irregular black patches of minerals; secondly, concentrated mineralization found at moderate to significant depths, hinting at concealed or buried deposits. Considering the presence of conductive minerals (ilmenite, magnetite) within the beach placers of the study locale, the application of ERT and IP methods proved to be viable. Additionally, the mineralization trends exhibited variance as one traversed from the southwest to the northeast within the study area. Notably, the resistivity of the heavy minerals ranged from 0.1 to 1.1 Ωm, coupled with chargeabilities surpassing 20 mV/V. Significantly, the arrangement of alternating heavy mineralization layers within the sand formations implied the potential presence of stratal anisotropy. Consequently, a specialized code was developed and implemented to perform 2D anisotropic inversion of the ERT data. The application of this anisotropic inversion rectified the depth estimations for concealed pockets of heavy mineralization. While conventional isotropic inversion suggested a concealed mineralization pocket at depths of 15-32 m, the anisotropic inversion revealed that the same mineral-bearing strata existed at depths of 16–28 m.

Published: December 2024

Talantodiscus is a rare genus within the pleurotomariid gastropods represented by only seven species from nine different Mesozoic localities of New Zealand and Europe, appearing from the late Middle Triassic (Late Ladinian) to the Middle Jurassic (Bajocian) in the fossil record. In the present paper, we report a new species, i.e., Talantodiscus gujaratensis, from the topmost Tithonian bed of the Kutch Basin, western India. The new find extends the palaeobiogeographic range of the genus to the western India beside New Zealand and European localities. Also, the last appearance datum (LAD) of the genus is extended to the latest of the Jurassic (Tithonian).
A New Fauna from the Deccan Intertrappean Sediments of Central India Reveals KP Extinction and Survivorship, and Origins of Asiatic Freshwater Molluscs
Authors: Delvene Graciela , Munt Martin C. , Paul Sharmistha , Gangopadhyay T.K.
Published: December 2024

A previously undescribed Danian freshwater intratrappean mollusc fauna from Barga, Shahpura District, Madhya Pradesh, Central India is dominated by bivalves and pulmonate gastropods. We introduce the new unionid genus and species Shahpuranaia shai (Tribe Indochinellini) with other bivalve taxa including a margaritiferid, and a sphaeriid tentatively assigned to Pisidium. The genus Telankhedilymnaea is introduced for elongate fusiform Lymnaeid gastropods. We record KP extinction survivorship amongst the Lymnaeids indicating that the intertrappeans were a Late Cretaceous to Early Palaeogene refuge. The Barga fauna lived prior to the diversification of the East and Southeast Asian mollusc faunas during the convergence between the Indian plate and Burma Terrane with Asia.

Published: December 2024

Perubahan iklim, perkembangan urbanisasi dan pertambahan penduduk antara faktor utama terjadinya penurunan tahap kualiti dan kuantiti bekalan sumber air dunia. Pelbagai langkah dan cara yang dilakukan bagi mengekang masalah dan isu ini termasuklah menambah baik Sistem Penuaian Hujan (SPAH) seiring peredaran masa. Kajian ini cuba menilai keberkesanan dan kesesuaian penggunaan Sistem Penuaian Hujan (SPAH) sebagai salah satu alternatif yang boleh digunakan dalam mengatasi kekurangan bekalan air dalam ruang lingkup Malaysia. Fungsi SPAH dari aspek penggunaan dalam jangka masa panjang serta dampaknya terhadap masyarakat juga alam sekitar turut akan dibincangkan. Oleh itu, kajian ini dijalankan melalui kajian kepustakaan dan analisis kajian lepas. Secara umumnya, SPAH ini adalah model yang dibangunkan sebagai altenatif bagi menggantikan kebergantungan terhadap sumber bekalan air bersih apabila krisis bekalan air berlaku. Walaupun SPAH ini boleh diaplikasikan namun, dapat dilihat sistem ini hanya terhad kepada binaan pada skala yang kecil sahaja. Hasil analisis dan penelitian yang dijalankan, implikasi positif SPAH ini dalam skop Malaysia lebih jelas kesannya dalam sektor pertanian dan kegunaan air hujan ini untuk kegunaan luaran sahaja. Justeru itu, kajian yang lebih teliti dan mendalam terhadap SPAH ini dari semua aspek harus diteruskan bagi membolehkan sistem ini digunakan oleh setiap lapisan masyarakat mahupun diaplikasikan pada setiap bangunan supaya sumber air secara percuma ini tidak dibazirkan begitu sahaja.

Peranan Singapura sebagai pusat perdagangan telah menjadikan lokasi tersebut sebagai tumpuan wartawan, penulis, sasterawan, dan bintang filem untuk mencipta karya. Ini telah memberi sumbangan tidak langsung kepada pertumbuhan industri percetakan, akhbar, industri media, dan hiburan. Keadaan ini juga mendorong timbulnya akhbar dan majalah berbahasa Melayu seperti Majalah Sinaran, yang memainkan peranan penting dalam pembangunan intelektual, sosial, dan politik masyarakat Melayu, sama ada sebelum atau selepas kemerdekaan Tanah Melayu. Majalah Sinaran, yang diterbitkan bermula pada tahun 1950, berfokus kuat pada isu-isu keagamaan dan memegang peranan penting dalam membincangkan isu-isu berkaitan Islam di Tanah Melayu dan di luar negara. Kajian ini bertujuan untuk meneliti sejauh mana perkembangan dan peranan Majalah Sinaran sebagai majalah bertemakan Islam di Tanah Melayu dari tahun 1950 hingga tahun 1951. Kajian ini menggunakan sepenuhnya pendekatan kualitatif yang melibatkan proses heuristik, kritikan, analisis, dan histriografi. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahawa Majalah Sinaran memainkan peranan penting dalam memperjuangkan isu-isu berkaitan Islam yang berlaku di Tanah Melayu. Situasi ini juga boleh dilihat melalui keterlibatan majalah ini dalam tragedi Natrah, yang menyebabkan pihak British merasa terancam dengan penerbitan majalah ini melalui tulisan pengarangnya, Karim Ghani. Tambah implikasi kajian Kajian ini menonjolkan sumbangan signifikan Majalah Sinaran dalam membentuk wacana isu-isu berkaitan Islam di Tanah Melayu. Pendekatan editorialnya yang berani bukan sahaja menyediakan platform untuk perbincangan intelektual, tetapi juga mencerminkan aspirasi sosio-politik yang lebih luas dalam kalangan masyarakat Melayu. Selain itu, kajian ini menunjukkan bagaimana media cetak boleh menjadi ejen perubahan, yang mempengaruhi perkembangan intelektual dan budaya yang bertumpukan di Tanah Melayu.

Published: December 2024

Kajian ini bertujuan untuk menilai literasi politik pengundi di Parlimen Port Dickson, Negeri Sembilan, terutamanya semasa Pilihan Raya Umum ke-15. Literasi politik merujuk kepada tahap kefahaman pengundi mengenai sistem politik, hak warganegara, dan proses membuat keputusan politik. Seramai 385 responden terlibat dalam kajian ini, terdiri daripada pelbagai latar belakang demografi termasuk jantina, umur, dan etnik. Kaedah yang digunakan dalam kajian ini adalah seperti soal selidik atau analisis statistik serta temu bual dalam mendapatkan gambaran yang lebih komprehensif dalam penggunaan pendekatan metodologi. Dapatan menunjukkan media cetak masih menjadi sumber maklumat utama, manakala media sosial digunakan secara minimum. Majoriti pengundi menyatakan bahawa ideologi parti politik memainkan peranan penting dalam keputusan mengundi, dengan sebahagian besar mereka lebih cenderung memilih parti berbanding calon. Pengundi di kawasan ini juga menunjukkan sokongan yang kuat terhadap nilai-nilai seperti integriti, keadilan, dan tanggungjawab sosial. Kajian ini mendapati bahawa faktor pendidikan menjadi faktor prediktor yang kukuh dalam menentukan literasi politik di mana pengundi yang mempunyai pendidikan tinggi lebih dapat memahami struktur politik, proses pilihan raya serta kecenderungan dalam mengundi bagi melibatkan diri dalam politik. Faktor akses terhadap teknologi dan media yang juga dipengaruhi oleh faktor pendidikan dan pendapatan yang secara tidak langsung menjejaskan literasi politik pengundi. Walau bagaimanapun, penglibatan pengundi dalam parti politik masih rendah, walaupun terdapat minat yang tinggi terhadap ceramah politik. Kajian ini mencadangkan agar pendidikan politik dipertingkatkan untuk memperluas literasi politik, terutamanya di kalangan golongan muda. Kesimpulannya, literasi politik yang lebih mendalam mampu meningkatkan penyertaan politik yang lebih bermakna dalam proses demokrasi Malaysia.
Active contour-based tooth segmentation in radiographs using fuzzy logic and CNN
Authors: Durmuş Fatih , Özbilgin Ferdi , Karagöl Serap
Published: December 2024

Radiographic imaging is a crucial tool frequently employed by dentists for initial diagnosis and treatment planning. However, these images often suffer from distortion or inaccuracies due to incorrect exposure settings, making it challenging to identify critical regions such as tooth roots and margins. This study addresses these issues by presenting two innovative methods for tooth segmentation from radiographs, aimed at isolating the tooth regions for better analysis. The first method utilizes fuzzy logic rules to detect edges within the radiographic images. These detected edges are then used as a mask for the Active Contour Method (ACM) to segment the teeth accurately. The second method involves the creation of a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) for tooth segmentation. The segmentation performance of the CNN is further refined using the ACM, leveraging the initial segmentation as a mask. Both methods demonstrated notable results with varying performance metrics. Specifically, the Fuzzy-Based Active Contour Method achieved precision, recall, and F1 score values of 0.6246, 0.4169, and 0.50, respectively. In contrast, the CNN-Based Active Contour Method calculated accuracy and specificity values of 0.9706 and 0.9872, respectively. These findings indicate that both approaches have distinct strengths in different performance aspects. Our study suggests that these advanced segmentation techniques can significantly enhance the diagnostic capabilities of dental professionals by providing clearer images of tooth structures, aiding in the detection of issues such as root problems, fractures, and wear patterns. Implementing these methods either independently or in combination could lead to more accurate diagnoses and better patient outcomes. Future work could explore the integration of these techniques to leverage their complementary strengths, potentially leading to even greater segmentation accuracy and reliability.
Application and comparison of theoretical approaches to mechanical properties of bulk YBCO-358 ceramic superconductors
Authors: Bulut Fatih
Published: December 2024

Co nanopowder substituted YBCO-358 (Y3Ba5Cu8-xCoxO18-δ) bulk ceramics were prepared with weight ratios of x=0, 0.05, 0.10 and 0.15 using the SSR (Solid State Reaction) method in tube furnace at oxygen (O2) atmosphere. The impact of partially replacing Cu with Co impurities on the load-independent (or true) microhardness parameters of YBCO-358 have been examined using five theoretical models: Meyer's law (ML), Hays-Kendall (HK), elastic/plastic deformation (EPD), proportional sample resistance (PSR) and the last is indentation-induced cracking (IIC). These models were applied to results that obtained by experimental microhardness tests conducted at various loads. Vicker’s Microhardness analysis shown that each samples has reverse indentation size effect (RISE). The results showed that partial Co nanoparticle doping affected the mechanical behavior/properties of produced YBCO-358 ceramics due to an enhance in crystal structural defects. Additionally, the degradation of the crystal structure led to a reduce in the typical RISE behavior of YBCO-358 superconducting ceramics. It has found that the IIC model was the best fit as it was the only one that produced results close to the saturation point, while the other models did not.

“Picture Worlds: Narratives in Greek, Moche, and Maya Pottery,” edited by David Saunders and Megan E. O'Neil, is a catalog published to accompany the 2023 exhibition at the Getty Museum and the Michael C. Carlos Museum. The publication's main appeal is its unusual approach, combining three distinct cultural traditions into one comprehensive work. By exploring the context and characteristics of ceramic production in each culture, the authors highlight both commonalities and unique aspects of the ceramic work in these three cultures. Significant attention is given to iconography, the analysis of storytelling formats, and styles depicted on ceramic pieces. The book includes a wealth of high-quality illustrations, making it valuable for both general readers and professional researchers. This review summarizes the authors’ key ideas, analyzes the book’s structure, and assesses its strengths and weaknesses.
IN THE LABYRINTH OF TRADITIONS, OR A THING ABOUT THE SOURCES OF INVENTION OF THE OLD POLISH MAKERS OF GENETLIACONS
Authors:   University of Białystok, Bialystok, Poland, Jurkowska Elżbieta A.
Published: December 2024

The article was devoted to selected Old Polish genetliacons, created by important poets of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries (including Daniel Naborowski, Kasper Miaskowski, Andrzej Trzecieski and Andrzej Zbylitowski). The subject of the study was primarily the sources of their poetic invention, links with literary and rhetorical traditions and conventions of the era. Analysis of selected poetic works showed their deep roots in both Greco-Roman, Judeo-Christian and folk traditions. Andrzej Zbylitowski, educated on old models and following the ancient formula of do ut des, intentionally directed it to potential patrons with whom he wanted to enter into client relationships. In works exposing the gift of life, “children’s offspring” were presented as supports and decorations of the family, intended to bring it glory and the desired “eternity of the name”, as well as prognoses about the child’s future, often referring to astrology and fortune-telling, and ancient reminiscences. The mentioned genetliacons, written to commemorate private anniversaries, often addressed to well-known people representing noble families, on the one hand were maintained in a strongly conventionalized tone of modus gravis and the “old style” of client poetry, written for powerful patrons and benefactors, while on the other hand one can also see in them expressions of sincere, authentic sympathy and close relationships. Topics related to baptismal celebrations were also used by Kasper Miaskowski in genetliacons written for his godchildren One can also notice the adaptation and contamination of individual elements concerning issues of custom and worldview: starting from fragments of Christian liturgy and rituals, to the presence of relics of pagan beliefs and practices: belief in divination, prophecies, superstitions, the power of magical gestures and rituals. Attention is also drawn to the syncretism of the classical and biblical tradition, the use of motifs, patterns and examples of ancient provenance, as well as references to the Czarnolas tradition, in order to illustrate the expressed content.

Published: December 2024

Mechanical testing of ring specimens for radial compression between flat dies (ovalization) was carried out, supplemented by analyzing the stress-strain state calculated by a specialized computer program. To verify the values of plastic strain, laser marks were made on the side surface of the ring. It is found that the maximum plastic deformation accumulates at the inner and outer walls of the ring, where maximum tensile and compressive stresses act, respectively. The deviation of the experimental values of plastic strain from the predicted ones does not exceed 10%. It is shown that the analysis of the stress-strain state of the ring specimen during ovalization can be useful for evaluating the critical values of the mechanical characteristics of the shell material irradiated in a fast neutron reactor to a high damaging dose.

Authors: Da Cruz e Zica Guilherme
Published: December 2024

Este artigo pretende analisar a maneira como alguns aspectos das experimentações literárias de Michel Butor contribuem para a articulação dos elementos visual, espacial e referencial da escrita, e quais os seus efeitos sobre o conjunto do processo literário. Para ilustrar e fundamentar as análises feitas nesse estudo, registraremos experimentações conduzidas em diferentes obras de Butor, entre elas, Passage de Milan (1954), L’emploi du temps (1956), Mobile (1962), Description de San Marco (1963) e 6.810.000 litres d’eau par seconde (1965). Inicialmente, investigaremos a articulação dos aspectos visual, espacial e referencial da escrita nos livros de Butor. Em seguida, procuraremos demonstrar como essa articulação, via experimentações, se faz ver na dinâmica de escrita de Butor. Finalmente, avaliaremos os efeitos dessa articulação sobre o conjunto do processo literário – produção, difusão e recepção –, considerando as relações entre Butor, isto é, o autor, e os diferentes agentes literários, em especial, o editor e o leitor.
O mercado editorial da curadoria literária: do Círculo do Livro ao modelo da TAG Experiências Literárias
Authors: Oliveira Isa Marques
Published: December 2024

A curadoria, tradicionalmente, esteve atrelada à atuação museológica ou artística, tanto como forma de organização quanto de cargo profissional. O crescimento do Círculo do Livro, nos anos 1970, foi o marco do grande ciclo editorial brasileiro de uma incipiente curadoria literária. Em meados do século XXI, surgem clubes de livros que foram apropriados pelo mercado editorial criando os conhecidos clubes de assinatura de livros para leitores. Este estudo aborda a atuação no mercado editorial da TAG Experiências Literárias, um clube de assinatura de livros nos moldes de uma curadoria literária. Foi feita análise do clube e da empresa curadora. Assim, postula-se que o atual mercado editorial, ao apostar na retomada desse modelo de negócio visa superávits financeiros que nenhuma editora consolidada alcançaria em um lançamento de livro. As curadorias literárias são voltadas para um nicho de leitores que dão a elas garantias de vendas e público, assim como o êxito obtido pelo Círculo do Livro, no início do século XX. O resultado do atual sucesso das curadorias deve-se aos avanços das tecnologias e meios de comunicação de massa, dessa forma que a TAG expandiu seu nome e crescimento como empresa. O papel influenciador do curador fortalece o modelo de curadoria no mercado editorial. As curadorias fazem o papel de mediação literária entre a obra e o leitor, mas não criam espaços para debates literários com a participação do curador, mas estimulam fortemente a consolidação da ideia do clube de leitores ou clube do livro.

Filosofia, literatura e teoria literária: diálogos universitários e institucionais
Authors: Philipson Gabriel Salvi , Lucas Fábio Roberto
Published: December 2024

A intenção é pensar o desenvolvimento da teoria literária como agente mediador e transformador das relações entre filosofia e literatura em quatro situações histórico-geográficas do século XX: a Rússia dos anos 1920 pelo diálogo entre Bakhtin e formalistas; a França da mesma década com a institucionalização universitária da tradição Poe-Baudelaire-Mallarmé por obra da teoria poética de Paul Valéry; a reflexão em torno do limiar poético-conceitual empreendida por Derrida e Nancy a partir dos anos 1960 na França e EUA; e o pensamento poético-jornalístico de Flusser como desafio à filosofia brasileira universitária nos anos 1960. O fio que interliga os quatro momentos seria a apreensão das implicações e afinidades de certas transformações da teoria literária com reflexões e práticas que questionam e refinam as diferenças entre literatura e filosofia, gestos com importantes consequências para pensar as leis, limites, equívocos e limiares dos modos de institucionalizar que vigoram no campo literário ou na universidade e suas diferentes áreas do saber.
Algumas considerações a respeito do diálogo literário de Antonio Tabucchi com Fernando Pessoa e Luigi Pirandello
Authors: Torre Melissa Cobra
Published: December 2024

A partir da leitura da obra de Antonio Tabucchi, é possível perceber em seus textos a recorrência de dois escritores em particular, os quais se fazem presentes por meio de inúmeras citações, alusões e referências a suas figuras e suas poéticas. Fernando Pessoa e Luigi Pirandello são esses escritores com quem Antonio Tabucchi estabelece um constante diálogo em sua obra, evidenciando a importância de ambos para a construção de seu universo narrativo. Partimos do pressuposto de que Antonio Tabucchi busca estabelecer sua tradição literária, apontando o lugar desde o qual deseja ser lido, o que pode ser constatado ao empreendermos a leitura dos textos Chamam ao telefone o Senhor Pirandello e “Apparizione di Pereira”, os quais nos fornecem importantes elementos para o delineamento de uma poética da escritura de Antonio Tabucchi.

A crise da narração e a narração da crise em duas obras de F. Scott Fitzgerald
Authors: Fabbri Viscardi Roberta
Published: December 2024

Neste artigo, buscamos investigar como a crise de 1929 representou um ponto de inflexão decisivo para o modo como o escritor F. Scott Fitzgerald figurou a sociedade norte-americana da década de 1920 nos romances O grande Gatsby (1925) e Suave é a noite (1934). Para tanto, analisamos em O grande Gatsby o impacto das contradições que levaram à crise econômica e interpretamos o impacto da crise já deflagrada na narração de Suave é a noite. Em ambos os casos, nos interessa compreender de que maneira a iminência da crise de 1929 e sua deflagração evidenciam a crise da narração e os mecanismos por trás da ideologia do sonho americano.
Por que o Brasil precisa dos Estudos Clássicos
Authors: Rocha Roosevelt Araújo da
Published: December 2024

Neste breve ensaio, discuto algumas ideias que podem servir de argumento para demonstrar como os Estudos Clássicos são importantes, especialmente para o nosso país. Em suma, defendo aqui que o incremento dos nossos conhecimentos nessa área é condição sine qua non para que alcancemos a nossa independência intelectual.
Eça de Queirós contista: o gótico nas narrativas "A aia", "O tesouro" e "O defunto"
Authors: Matos Xênia Amaral
Published: December 2024

Este artigo analisa os contos “A aia”, “O tesouro” e “O defunto”, escritos por Eça de Queirós, tendo como objetivo compreender como algumas características góticas são utilizadas na composição dessas narrativas. Nesse sentido, os elementos góticos apresentados nos contos ecianos são reconhecidos como topoi: ideias generalizadas/commonplaces usados para desenvolver ideias ou discursos. Para isso, o estudo utiliza as concepções de E. R. Curtius (2013) e Umberto Eco [19--] sobre topoi. Além disso, David Stevens (2000), Fred Botting (2014) e Júlio França (2017) são mencionados para compreender a tradição gótica. Os resultados demonstram que os três contos ecianos apresentam o medo e atmosferas obscuras, as quais são alcançadas pelo trabalho com os topoi góticos e com o suspense.

Édipo em dose tripla
Authors: Malta André
Published: December 2024

O Édipo Rei de Sófocles é a criação clássica em sua quintessência: referência atemporal para se avaliar os mecanismos de construção da boa ficção desde a Poética de Aristóteles (que lá atrás, na própria Grécia Antiga, já o tomou como sua obra-prima); precursora das cada vez mais populares histórias de investigação criminal em livros, filmes e séries; e, ainda por cima, poesia escrita de forma depurada, com seu estilo elegantemente equilibrado. Talvez nenhum outro texto antigo, seja ele dramático ou não, mobilize o leitor – qualquer leitor – como a peça do dramaturgo ateniense do século V a.C. Pois é esse clássico dos clássicos que ganha agora três novas traduções para o português, saídas no intervalo de menos um ano, entre 2018 e 2019.
The Metaverse
Authors:   , Ivery-Robinson Jazzmyn M. , Phillips Joy C.
Published: December 2024

This exploratory sequential mixed methods study explored how African American, Asian/Pacific Islander, Latino/Hispanic, and Native American (ALANA) students develop a sense of belonging within higher education at one private, Predominantly White Institution (PWIs) within the United States when co-curricular programs are offered within the metaverse facilitated through extended reality (virtual reality and augmented reality) headsets. Research has identified that PWIs and private institutions within the United States often lack support and resources to help ALANA students develop a sense of belonging. Despite the increased interest in immersive technology in higher education, limited research has explored leveraging such technology to improve the ALANA student experience. This study included a survey distribution, two workshops, and semi-structured interviews with fourteen participants to explain how VR and AR technology can help develop students' sense of belonging. The data collected revealed that ALANA students' comfort with extended reality technology varied. Many participants shared experiences of curiosity, excitement, and anxiousness before entering the workshops while feeling emotions of happiness, excitement, and joy after the workshops. All participants were interested in continuing such programming efforts to supplement for co-curricular programming. Familiar themes such as relationships, connections, and experiences emerged from this study. However, new insights were provided on how extended reality can be used beyond the classroom.
