VALUATION OF AESTHETIC DAMAGE IN THE SCOPE OF BRAZILIAN CIVIL LAW
Authors: Konichi Renata , Fujisawa Raisa , Miziara Ivan
Published: July 2023

INTRODUCTION: Aesthetic damage has gained special relevance in recent decades, due to the appreciation of themes related to image and body harmony. The assessment of this damage continues to be quite imprecise, because it is an objectionable damage by the observer, measurable and valuable, however it has a large subjective component, both on the part of the subject who suffers from it, and on the part of the examiner. This article aims to present the current scenario in aesthetic damage valuation and to propose a new method for this purpose. METHOD: Bibliographic review of open access articles up to the year 2022, in Portuguese, Spanish and English. RESULTS: None of the existing methodologies proved to be sufficient to approach the real assessment of the damage that the aesthetic damage caused to the victims’ lives, none of the analyzed scales simultaneously evaluated the inherent characteristics of the lesion, the impacts on functionality and the psycho-emotional consequences. DISCUSSION: In Brazil, there are no definitive criteria for evaluating aesthetic damage. Currently, in order to reference and qualify the aesthetic damage, in addition to the detailed description of the condition, it is proposed to use an evaluative scale, the “gradual scale with seven degrees”, which is considered the most subjective method among the others. The difficulty of this assessment is a consensus in the literature and the real repercussions of aesthetic damage cannot be addressed by current methods, preventing the judge from awarding adequate compensation for the victim’s detriment. CONCLUSION: In order to contemplate all the fundamental aspects of the valuation as close as possible to the real impact of the damage, so that the judge can define the relevant compensation, we propose a new methodology for the evaluation of permanent aesthetic damage, composed of four tables that address objective and subjective criteria

Published: July 2023

Twitter is one of the most popular social media platforms in the world nowadays. Twitter users in Indonesia are the fifth largest in the world and are always active in expressing themselves and getting information through tweets. A hoax is a lie created as if it were true. Hoaxes are also often spread via tweets. The spread of hoaxes is extremely dangerous because it can cause social discord and even misunderstanding. Therefore, hoaxes must be resisted. This study aims to build a system to detect hoaxes on Indonesian tweets. The objective of this research is to identify hoax Indonesian tweets by using the Naïve Bayes classifier with Term Frequency Inverse Document Frequency (TF-IDF). This study collects and annotates tweets from hoax tweets post which sent by a user account. This study also applied several text preprocessing techniques to provide datasets. To provide the best hoax prediction model, this work splits datasets into training and testing datasets. There are four experimental scenarios that refer to splitting the dataset. The experimental results showed that the hoax prediction model using Naïve Bayes with TF-IDF had 64% accuracy and recall, 69% and 67% precision, and a F1-score respectively. This result is also superior to the hoax prediction model when using the Naïve Bayes classifier without the TF-IDF. It means that TF-IDF has made a positive contribution to improving model performance. Finally, this research contributes by detecting news with a proclivity for hoaxes and filtering what is classified as hoaxes or not.

Sokan tiszteltük és szerettük Mádl Ferencet, a szerény és szelíd, de határozott embert, a barátot, a kivételes tudóst, a bölcs és türelmes tanárt, az erős akaratú, értékeinek elkötelezett politikust, a sikeres minisztert és a kiemelkedő államfőt. Tudtuk, nagyon sokan tudtuk, hogy megteremtette a politikai harcoktól magát távoltartó, az alkotmányos rendet feltétlenül tisztelő köztársasági elnök mintáját, éreztük és láttuk, hogy úgy tudott egész nemzetének elnöke lenni, hogy semmit sem engedett értékeiből és hitéből. Ma már azt is tudjuk, hogy Mádl Ferenc nélkül másként alakultak volna közös dolgaink és talán mások lennénk mi is. De eleget tudunk-e Mádl Ferencről? Ismerjük-e életének legfőbb állomásait, hogyan épült a német eredetre az egész életében nagyon erős magyar identitás, hogyan kapta meg szintén egész életére a katolikus hit kegyelmét, mit jelentett számára a nagycsalád, hogyan formálta gyermek és ifjúkorát a háborgó történelem, hogyan lett a parasztgazda fiából kiváló diák, hogyan indult el a tudósi pályán, hogyan épültek fel biztos, kiegyensúlyozott családi kötelékei, hogyan lett itthon és a világban köztiszteletnek örvendő egyetemi tanár, sokoldalú, hihetetlenül gazdag életművel rendelkező tudós, hogyan szervezte és irányította a tudományt, majd az oktatást és a kultúrát? Hogyan és miért lépett a nagy kultuszminiszter elődök nyomába? Hogyan látta el változó és nem könnyű politikai feltételek között az államfői feladatokat, hogyan töltötte be a legfőbb közjogi méltóság hivatását? És legfőképpen hogyan tudott ebben a méltóságban is az maradni, aki volt. Egy igaz ember, aki szerette a családját, a barátait, a munkatársait, a tanítványait, szerette az embereket, mert ez következett a hitéből. És szerette a hazáját, mert ez következett abból, hogy pontosan tudta, hogy hová tartozik. Bízott a magyar nemzet összetartozásában és felemelkedésében és mindent meg is tett ennek érdekében. Biztos volt abban is, hogy Magyarországnak Európában van a helye és hogy keresztény értékek nélkül nincs sikeres Magyarország és nincs sikeres Európa. Ha meg akarjuk jobban ismerni és érteni e kérdésekre a válaszokat, vegyük kézbe és alaposan olvassuk végig Domaniczky Endre könyvét a tudós és államférfi Mádl Ferencről. A lényeg gyakran a részletekben van, érdemes tehát egy életmű megértése érdekében az e mögött álló életre, az ezt formáló körülményekre és mindenekelőtt az ezt megteremtő emberre is odafigyelni. Ebben segít ez a könyv, meg abban is, hogy mindazok a jelen és jövő generációk, akik nem ismerhették Mádl Ferencet, lássanak és kapjanak mintát mindazokból az értékekből, amelyeket e tudós és államférfi életműve és élete képvisel.

Rapid Cystic Development in Relation With an Impacted Lower Third Molar: A Case Report
Authors: Chye CH , Singh B
Published: July 2023

Cystic changes can arise in relation with unerupted lower third molars. This case report describes a large odontogenic keratocyst (OKC) which developed rapidly and aggressively over a short period of 2 years and presented with acute symptoms. The development of a large OKC over the mandible is evidenced by radiographs taken 2 years apart. The OKC was enucleated and the residual cavity was treated with Carnoy’s solution and packed with bismuth iodoform paraffin paste dressing. The impacted third molar and second molar associated with the lesion were also extracted. This case illustrates how rapidly a cyst can develop in association with a previously asymptomatic, unerupted tooth and how quickly a radiographic diagnosis can become out of date. As such, the authors recommend the use of repeated radiographs for monitoring unerupted teeth at a tighter time frame of 6 to 12 months.

Authors: Seneviratne U , Puvanendran K
Published: July 2023

Introduction: The aims of the study were to determine the demographic, clinical, and polysomnographic characteristics of narcolepsy, and to address the difficulties in diagnosing narcolepsy and cataplexy, which is a cardinal symptom. We also ventured to investigate the differences between narcolepsy with and without cataplexy. Materials and Methods: Data were collected retrospectively from patients diagnosed with narcolepsy at the Sleep Disorder Unit of Singapore General Hospital over 5 years. Each patient had had a detailed clinical evaluation and overnight polysomnography (PSG) followed by a multiple sleep latency test (MSLT). Results: A total of 28 cases were studied. Males made up 85.7% of the total and females, 14.3%. The mean age was 30.9 years. All had excessive daytime sleepiness. Other manifestations were cataplexy (48.1%), sleep paralysis (51.9%), hypnogogic hallucinations (84%), disturbed night sleep (29.2%), automatisms (17.4%) and catnaps (95.8%). The mean duration of symptoms was 7.24 years. In the MSLT, the mean values for mean sleep latency and number of sleep onset rapid eye movement (REM) periods (SOREMP) were 4.3 minutes and 2.7, respectively. Narcolepsy was associated with obstructive sleep apnoea and periodic limb movement disorder (35.7%). All the variables were compared between those who had narcolepsy with cataplexy and without cataplexy. The duration of presenting complaint, REM latency, respiratory disturbance index, number of SOREMPs and the presence of sleep paralysis were significantly different in the 2 groups. Conclusions: Narcolepsy predominantly affects young males. Concurrence of other sleep disorders is not uncommon. Some differences are evident between those who have narcolepsy with and without cataplexy.

Parental conflict is a scourge that has ravaged society in so many forms. Many homes experience parental conflict at varying degrees and intervals. In some cases, partners have been burned with iron or hot metals, experienced fractured bones or skulls, broken teeth, bruises, sprains, abrasions, loss of consciousness, and, in some severe cases, a form of deformity or the ultimate: death. The children who see these nasty occurrences as well may have trouble sleeping because they keep having memories of these events that have occurred or are occurring. Children who live in homes where violent forms of parental conflict take place go on to become abusers of drugs and experience PTSD due to the recurring nature of the violence from childhood into adulthood. The study investigated parental conflict as a predictor of drug abuse and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) among secondary school students in Rivers State. A sample of 800 secondary students in Rivers State participated in the study. The study measured Parental Conflict using the Parental Conflict Scale (PCS), drug abuse using the Drug Abuse Screening Test (DAST-10), and PTSD using the PTSD Checklist (PCL-5). The data was analysed using linear and multiple regression. The outcomes of the study revealed that parental conflict significantly predicts drug abuse and PTSD. It is recommended that parents be taught about the impact their conflicts have on their children and about better conflict resolution methods. Also, parents who have anger problems should be taught anger management. Adolescents who have been identified as being dependent on substances and having symptoms of PTSD need to be retrained and restored.

The Impact of Work Motivation and Engagement on the Productivity: Case Study at Consumer Loan Account Officer
Authors:   Institut Teknologi Bandung, Indonesia., Ahmad Fina Petrina
Published: July 2023

Consumer credit has emerged as the type of credit that leads most banks in Indonesia, including Bank Batara, which has made consumer credit the first pillar of its credit operation. However, taking into account the situations that have come about in the recent few periods, the quantity of consumer loan disbursement at Bank Batara genuinely reveals a minor average benefit in distribution compared to rival banks, despite the fact that the characteristics and credit terms offered remain largely the same, which suggests the differences in productivity issues within consumer credit divisions, particularly account officer productivity at Bank Batara. The present study seeks to evaluate the effect of job motivation and employee engagement on employee work productivity. This study makes use of linear analytic methodologies to verify the hypothesis given. The findings gathered suggest that all variables are in dire straits. Partially, job motivation and employee engagement have a favourable and profound effect on employee work productivity. Likewise, simultaneously, job motivation and employee engagement have an enormous impact on employee work productivity.

Background: Hyperlipidemia is one of the factors that can trigger atherosclerosis which is characterized by abnormalities in lipid metabolism in the blood, especially increased LDL levels above normal. The increase in level of LDL stimulates the production of several cytokines that can affect the increase in acute phase proteins, especially fibrinogen. The presence of fibrinogen functions in increasing the Erytrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) through its positive charge to neutralize the surface of erythrocytes. Prevention efforts to reduce ESR use herbal plants that do not have side effects, namely robusta coffee. Anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activity in robusta coffee is thought to be effective in reducing ESR through inhibition of cytokine production in the inflammatory response. Objective: This study aimed to determine differences in ESR values ​​after administration of robusta coffee to hyperlipidemia rats. Methods: Fiveteen male Wistar rats were randomly divided into 3 research groups including the control group (K), the hyperlipidemia group (H), and the hyperlipidemia + coffee group (C). Induction of hyperlipidemia by feeding duck egg yolk and pork oil. The calculation of the ESR level uses the Westegreen method in mm/hour. Results and Conclusions: Robusta coffee can affect the decrease in ESR values ​​in hyperlipidemia rats

For three main reasons, assessment is a crucial part of ‘Language Teaching’. First and foremost, the assessment offers teachers reliable foundation and continuing points for planning and developing lessons. Next, the assessment delivers instant feedback to gauge learners' progress and enables students to establish their goals. Additionally, assessment contributes to program evaluation, ensuring the alignment of curriculum and teacher growth. Within the realm of listening, assessment holds significant significance as it fosters learner confidence by providing necessary feedback and facilitates the design of instruction that addresses both learners' apparent weaknesses and curriculum gaps. This paper provide direction on how to incorporate assessment into listening instruction. It addresses various aspects of issues, such as various listening assessment methods, elements that affect performance and difficulty, the use of oral interviews to evaluate effective listening, the use of descriptive scales to represent levels of listening proficiency and the implementation of portfolio-style listening assessments.

Authors:   , Sá Lundrigs Pantoja de
Published: July 2023

A Liderança Governamental do Poder Executivo Municipal na gestão da pandemia da Covid- 19 apresenta complexidade na realização das ações executadas em um cenário inédito de pandemia, em que se evidenciam as implicações no estilo de liderança presente na gestão pública governamental municipal. O propósito desta pesquisa é compreender o(s) tipo(s) de liderança adotado(s) pelo Executivo Municipal de Parintins (AM) para o enfrentamento da crise sanitária provocada pela pandemia da Covid-19 no âmbito municipal. Levantaram-se as informações publicizadas das ações adotadas para o enfrentamento da doença pela Gestão municipal, procurando identificar as implicações decorrentes dessas operações nos campos político, social e econômico. Tais informações foram agrupadas e analisadas em um quadro caracterizador do estilo de liderança do Executivo Municipal de Parintins (AM) no contexto da pandemia da Covid-19. A abordagem metodológica adotada na pesquisa foi qualitativa com o estudo de caso, para obter respostas às pressuposições feitas quanto à promoção de gerenciamento de ações de políticas assertivas e à geração de resoluções satisfatórias ao combate à pandemia, dentro de um estilo de liderança apresentado em um contexto local. Os principais resultados da investigação apontaram a necessidade de liderança para a condução das ações de combate à doença e às suas implicações nos campos político, social e econômico, destacando-se as competências gerenciais para o desenvolvimento de pessoas e das equipes na construção de alternativas para redução dos efeitos negativos ocasionados pela Covid-19. Isso foi expresso por Decretos Municipais, Atos de Gestão, Relatórios, Planos de Combate ao Coronavírus, tudo alinhado às orientações da OMS. Assim, o exame dos documentos e das ações decorrentes do combate à pandemia mostrou que o estilo de liderança foi democrático e com ampla representação da sociedade de Parintins (AM). Portanto, conclui-se que o estilo esperado de liderança para o cenário pandêmico em um contexto local do município de Parintins se desenvolveu com ações efetivas e diferenciadas, possibilitando aproveitar a experiência de uma liderança de um município, uma ilha no meio do Amazonas, com dificuldades logísticas muito diversificadas e que teve que desenvolver competências em nível local para suprir suas necessidades. Tais ações indicam que o estilo de liderança, em situação de crise, remete à criatividade de inovação para ser menos burocrático, não desperdiçando recursos e, ao mesmo tempo, trazendo uma resposta que foi considerada positiva pela população. Palavras-chave: Liderança. Gestão. Parintins (AM). Covid-19.

Reescrita E Línguas Indígenas:
Authors: Rezende Patrick
Published: July 2023

Este trabalho busca discutir e problematizar como a tradução foi empregada de forma a esconder, marginalizar, subalternizar e domesticar as línguas, as histórias, as narrativas e as epistemologias indígenas, influenciando os modos com os quais concebemos o narrar da história. Intenta-se, com isso, refletir sobre a possibilidade de se reposicionar a tradução, a fim de enxergar no ato tradutório uma transformação regulada e sobredeterminada por diversos fatores, a qual expõe as diferenças e implica necessariamente lidar com relações assimétricas de poder. A partir do conceito de reescrita (LEFEVERE, 1992), os processos tradutórios são debatidos pela apresentação de produções indígenas contemporâneas, enquanto formas de se recontar e recuperar narrativas que foram silenciadas ao longo do tempo. Como resultado, o conjunto de obras apresentadas indica a abertura de brechas que desafiam as narrativas hegemônicas e permitem o surgimento de novas formas de se conceber a história, ao se reposicionar a tradução.
Popper’s Propensity Interpretation of Quantum Physics as a form of Modal Metaphysics
Authors: Dzelajei Basilis
Published: July 2023

With the emergence of quantum physics in the 1920s, the major philosophical question was, do the unobservables in quantum system have ontological status or are mere instruments for scientific prediction? The Copenhagen interpretation developed an instrumentalist thesis, contending that the unobservables are tools for making predictions concerning the observables. Thus, we cannot have knowledge of the quantum particles. However, Popper attempts a realist and an objective interpretation. As such, he criticizes the Copenhagen interpretation, developing the propensity view, which accords ontological status to subatomic particles. The main thrust of our argument in this paper is that by replacing probability possibilities with propensities, Popper positions himself as a proponent of the metaphysics of modality. It is then our objective to establish the parallelism between Popper’s Propensity Interpretation and Modal Metaphysics.  To establish this contention we proceeded analytically: firstly by situating the seismic shift from macro to quantum physics, secondly by examining Popper’s critique of the Copenhagen Interpretation and thirdly by attempting a demonstration of the correlation between Popper’s propensity interpretation and modal metaphysics. The merit of this paper resides in its elucidation of the importance of metaphysics in science. It is a double challenge at the same time for antimetaphysical philosophy of science and for antiscientific metaphysics, to rethink the relationship between Metaphysics and science and invest in finding how both disciplines nurture each other. Finally, it is hoped that policy makers in Philosphy and science uses our findings to revamp the conceptualisation and practice of interdisciplinarity.

Authors: Tacbalan Aileen D. , Alcalde Antonina P. , Modina Edna P.
Published: July 2023

This study was designed to analyze the influences that affect the job satisfaction of teachers and its efficacy in teaching. A descriptive research method used to a total of 46 teachers, both regular and part-time lecturers. It was found out that the identified variables influencing teachers job satisfaction were interactions with department leadership, recognition of achievements in research, possibilities for professional growth, possibilities for student interaction outside of the classroom, an appreciation for effective instruction, options for extracurricular school involvement, and paid time off for teachers. Sufficient technical and multimedia teaching resources, sufficient physical resources for teaching, and adequate financial resources for instruction were the variables influences that teachers answered neutrally. Teachers’ self-efficacy on student engagement was strongly agreed upon; the variables holding the students’ interest will help you deliver the courses smoothly, and promoting student participation to the fullest extent possible will improve my teaching skills. Preparation for daily lesson topics was also strongly agreed upon by teachers’ self-efficacy on instructional strategies. Teaching the students a lesson, preparing the teaching materials in advance, manifesting respect towards my students, and encouraging students to participate actively were agreed upon by teachers on classroom management. In order for teachers to function successfully and efficiently, the study recommended that school management look into and pay attention to the identified elements that affect teachers’ job satisfaction.
A Simulation Model Based on Experimental Data to Determine the Optimal Tilt Angle for a Fixed Photovoltaic Panel
Authors: Solyali Davut , Mollaei Amir
Published: July 2023

The angle at which a photovoltaic (PV) panel is tilted has a significant impact on its performance, as it affects the amount of solar energy the panel can capture. This paper explores a new mathematical model, as well as simulation and experimental results, to determine the optimal tilt angle for PV panels. The optimal angle is determined by searching for the values that yielded the highest total solar radiation on the PV panel surface for a specific period, and this study introduces a new method to find the yearly optimal tilt angle for a fixed PV panel. The proposed model uses experimental data to simulate the performance of a fixed PV panel at different tilt angles and determine the angle that harvests the highest energy production. The results of the simulation model can be used to guide the installation and positioning of PV panels, allowing for more efficient energy production. Overall, the simulation model provides a valuable tool for optimizing the performance of fixed PV panels and increasing the use of renewable energy sources. The experimental site is located at Famagusta, Cyprus, and the ideal tilt angle for maximum solar radiation was found to be 27°, with a total solar radiation of approximately 2016.99 kWh/m2. The simulation results were then compared to those of four different methods, and it was discovered that solar panels could be installed in that region at angles ranging from 21° to 32° in order to capture the maximum energy from solar radiation for a PV panel.

A Study on the Expansion of the Application Scope of Article 2(1) of the Civil Law
Authors:   The K Association of Education Research, Park Jong-Ryeol
Published: July 2023

The purpose of this study is to examine the problem of extending the scope of application of the principle of good faith stipulated in Civil Law and to suggest a reasonable plan. The principle of good faith, as an abstract ethical and moral norm, is the formative basis of law that embodies the content of individual legal norms. And as a living law that supplements and corrects the deficiencies of the existing legal system, it is a very important principle that plays various roles throughout civil law. However, since the specific details have not been finalized, it is true that the interpretation of the law or the expansion of the scope of application depend on the judgment. In addition, while many Supreme Court precedents that expand the scope of application of the principle of good faith have appeared recently, there is a voice of criticism that it cannot only harm legal stability but also make lawyers more vulnerable. Therefore, in this study, the concept of the principle of good faith, which is the guiding ideology of Civil Law, was comprehensively examined, as well as comparative legal review and problems resulting from the expansion of application by recent precedents. And, In terms of applying the principle of good faith, it was derived and suggested that it is desirable to exclude the application as much as possible when there are individual provisions in civil law and other laws and apply it when a just conclusion has not been drawn.

Subsequently, as a result of measuring cell viability through MTT assay using RAW 264.7, which is a macrophage, GBKW-r and GBKE-r showed a cell viability more than 95% at a concentration of 10 μg/ml. Afterwards, NO production inhibitory activity was conducted at a concentration of 10 μg/ml or less. As a result, it was confirmed that GBKW-r and GBKE-r showed anti-inflammatory effects of 10.99% and 35.66%, respectively, at a concentration of 10 μg/ml. Therefore, irradiatied Green Coffea Arabica Beans (in Kenya Nyeri) hot water and 70% ethanol extract have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity, and it is considered that there is a possibility of application as a natural material.

Authors: HARMANKAYA Sezen
Published: July 2023

The aim of this study was to examine the effect of different incubation times on the shelf life of kefir. For this purpose, kefir samples were first incubated for 8, 12, 18, 24 and 36 hours, creating 5 different kefir groups. It was then stored at 4±1°C for 21 days.. Microbiological (Lactobacillus spp., Lactococcus spp., and yeast), chemical (pH, titratable acidity), and sensory analyses of the kefir groups were performed during the storage period. The Lactobacillus (7.80 log10 cfu/mL), Lactococcus (7.30 log10 cfu/mL) and yeast (6.14 log10 cfu/mL) counts were higher in the kefir groups that were incubated for a long time, and changes were observed during the storage process depending on the incubation time. It was determined that the titratable acidity became higher as the length of the incubation and storage time increased. The results showed that the incubation time had an effect on Lactobacillus spp. and Lactococcus spp. counts, pH and acidity (P
Signs, Miracles, and Conspiratorial Images
Authors: Krass Urte
Published: July 2023

This chapter describes the system of signs, miracles, and images that existed in Portugal in the run-up to the revolt. Portuguese political providentialism is explained as a central component of the ideological framework of the Portuguese Restoration. A vital current that contributed to the events of 1640 was Sebastianism, the anticipated return of the last Avis king who allegedly had “disappeared” in the Battle of Alcácer Quibir in Morocco. Linked to this belief was the movement of Bandarrism, which had its origins in a collection of verses composed by Gonçalo Anes Bandarra that were thought to have already pointed to the person of the Duke of Braganza as the new Portuguese king. The chapter discusses a sculpture in Alcobaça, a trove of ancient coins in Évora, as well as objects and images that might have served as conspirators’ “senhas.”
The Lisbon Miracle of the Crucifix (1 December 1640)
Authors: Krass Urte
Published: July 2023

After the proclamation of the new king from the Lisbon palace on 1 December 1640, the central Restoration image miracle occurred: a silver crucifix on the bishop’s staff came to life, released its right arm from the crossbeam, and blessed the crowd, signifying Christ’s approval of the coup. The chapter provides a close reading of contemporary interpretations of the miracle and investigates the bishop’s staff as a political relic. The tradition of living images of Christ is outlined as well as the special veneration of Christ among the Habsburgs. A crucifix in Goa, in the Augustinian monastery of Santa Mónica, might have provided inspiration for the Lisbon miracle. A 1641 pamphlet with imagery from the Estado da Índia, too, points to the powerful transcontinental connections of image worlds.
Images in Diplomatic Service
Authors: Krass Urte
Published: July 2023

Among the first tasks of every newly installed ruler is having portraits of him- or herself made and distributed. The new Braganza king, however, had little chance of contracting first-class portraitists. The ambassadors who took royal portraits with them on their diplomatic missions abroad thus recognized these paintings’ virtue as being not in their high artistic quality, but in their ability to reveal truth about the person portrayed. The chapter traces the use of royal portraits and family trees on diplomatic missions to Paris, Rome, and London. The treatise Lusitania Liberata of 1645, presented to the English King Charles I, is then subjected to an in-depth analysis. Its engravings represent an ambitious attempt to reconceptualize Lusitanian iconography.
The Funeral Apparatus of John IV (November 1656)
Authors: Krass Urte
Published: July 2023

John IV died on 6 November 1656. A funeral apparatus was planned in the Church of São Vicente de Fora. The planned iconographical program attempted a balance between traditional iconographies and innovative pictorial ideas. One of the paintings described in the source is iconographically unique and deserves an in-depth analysis: it plays on the idea of the headless body of state that John IV had revived, at a time when one of Portugal’s most important allies, Charles I of England, had in fact lost his head. This chapter explores the extent to which the beheading of the English king and the images disseminated in its aftermath, the widespread European metaphor of the “body of state,” and the planned painting on the Lisbon castrum doloris may be connected.
Ivory Good Shepherds as Visualizations of the Portuguese Restoration
Authors: Krass Urte
Published: July 2023

The chapter examines a group of objects that has enjoyed great popularity in art historical research on global artifacts in recent years: ivory sculptures of the childlike Christ as a good shepherd on a mountain, richly detailed with animals and biblical scenes. These were produced in Goa and found numerous buyers and collectors in Europe and in Brazil. This chapter links these figures to the idea of the Fifth Empire, which enjoyed widespread popularity above all in Brazil, popularized by the Jesuit António Vieira. According to this hypothesis, John IV of Braganza’s ascent to the throne announced the last, peaceful age before the end of the world. The iconographies of the objects, but also their materiality and stylistic characteristics, are examined in detail in conjunction with Viera’s theory.
The case of Matto, the manatee
Authors: Brito Cristina
Published: July 2023

The so-called magnificent manatee lived in the Guainabo Lagoon in 16th-century Hispaniola. Descriptions offer insights into how different societies reacted and dealt with this aquatic animal. Matto was captured by the Cacique Caramatexi, who nourished and kept it for 26 years, during which it was as friendly as any other pet and held in high esteem. I will reconstruct a chronology of this story, trying to understand how it has been influenced by translation and copying, and interest in exotic natural themes. I will use it as an example of interactions and entanglements between humans and aquatic animals, before delving into origin myths and aquatic deities. I am de-centring history focusing on interactions while giving Matto agency.
(Early) modern ‘naturecultures’ : A co‑constructed narrative of the world
Authors: Brito Cristina
Published: July 2023

Humans and aquatic other animals live in interrelated, and interdependent systems of “naturecultures.” Addressing the history of their entangled ecologies, times, and spaces, and of multi-species assemblages allows us to set aside traditional dichotomies and move beyond current scientific and cultural understandings. I will review early modern tropical knowledge for the construction of a local and European natural history and philosophy. The role of manatees and their interactions with different people, and their own agency, are explored in this chapter in the context of the early modern history of natural history and the coconstructions of existences and worldviews in the past and present. To end the chapter and the book, I will engage in a discussion of a blue early modern Anthropocene.
Becoming a Borderland
Authors: Wilkinson Matthew
Published: July 2023

Chapter 2, ‘Becoming a Borderland’, discusses the colonial frontier-making project in the Naga Hills, where an ‘Inner Line’ was created to divide the Naga Hills from the plains of Assam, and later post-Independence continuations of these policies, cartographies, and emergency laws. Essentially, where colonial efforts produced a sense of remoteness as being ‘cut-off’ from the plains surrounding Nagaland, post-colonial efforts produced a sense of remoteness as being outside of and cut-off from legal protections and rights.
Unveiling the Himalayan Nexus: Unraveling Anthropogenic Triggers and Pursuing
Sustainable Development in Uttarakhand
Authors: Rawat Arvind Singh , Semwal M.M.
Published: July 2023

The physical environment has been detreated by the impact of humans in a variety of ways including pollution, overpopulation, deforestation. These changes lead to poor air quality, soil erosion, land degradation which results into health issues. These negative consequences can have an impact on human behavior, leading to mass migrations or water wars. The state of Uttarakhand is already fragile towards natural disasters due to its topography. Over the past few decades, we have seen a large no. of disasters in Uttarakhand. Most of them are termed as natural disasters but one cannot ignore the impact of human in triggering these disasters. As a result of the unstable soil on
the Himalayan range's high slopes and the fragility of the mountain range itself, heavy rainfall has wreaked havoc on the region. However, the magnitude of the calamity has been worsened by human actions. Major contributors to the extraordinary extent of destruction include the continuous expansion of hydro-power projects and the construction of highways to accommodate ever-increasing travel, mainly religious tourism. 1998 Malpa Landslide, Ukhimath Landslide, Kedarnath Floods are some of the biggest disasters the state has faced in past years. Why these disasters
are so frequents nowadays and what role human have played in triggering them. These questions need to be analyzed. This paper will try to highlights the impact of human activities in making the region more fragile for Disaster. It will also try to focus on need for the sustainable development for the region.

Published: July 2023

The present work in article format analyzes the concepts, applications and repercussions extracted between the terms Judicial Activism, Administrative Merit and Administrative Discretion. The objective is to examine, explain well, signify, separate and, where possible, correlate the three institutes above. To this end, a brief literature review was carried out on the Constitutional Principles Applicable to the study and research themes: Legality, Judicial Control of Public Administration and Jurisdictional Inalienability; as well as - by the same bibliographical methodology - of the trio indicated in the first paragraph. The diagnosed data revealed that they are distinct legal spaces and contents, however relatable to each other; above all for a skillful technical and hermeneutic dialogue in the light of the Federal Constitution and the other regulations of the Brazilian Legal Order.
EPILEPSY

Published: July 2023

Epilepsy is a chronic neurological disorder characterized by the recurrent and unpredictable occurrence of seizures. Seizures are episodes of abnormal electrical activity in the brain that can affect different areas and functions of the body. This disordered electrical activity can lead to symptoms such as involuntary movements, loss of consciousness, strange sensations, sensory changes, unusual behavior or confusion. Understanding the different types of seizures, potential triggers, and how to administer first aid during a seizure can help reduce anxiety and increase feelings of control. In this way, the objective of this study is to understand the ways of living and dealing with epilepsy in favor of a better life. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle can help improve the quality of life for people with epilepsy, including hours of sleep, diet and regular physical activity. The methodology was a bibliographic review, concluding that it is possible to live with seizures as long as there are preventive and adequate treatment measures, aware that each case of epilepsy is unique, and the treatment and management of the condition must be personalized to meet individual needs. Emotional support, adherence to prescribed treatment, self-management and a positive approach can help people with epilepsy achieve a good quality of life.
