TYPES OF SEMANTICAL RELATIONSHIPS IN THE TERM SYSTEM OF ENGLISH TRANSLATION
Authors: Yefymenko Tetiana , Solodka Anzelika
Published: June 2022

This scientific work focuses on the terminology of translation studies, namely on its semantic and structural characteristics. The study of translation terminology in English, analysis of the structure and semantics of terms, knowledge of their synonyms and variants is not only theoretical but also practical interest in developing the abilities of specialists in the field of translation theory and practice. The material of the study was the types of semantic relations in the terminological system (monosyllabic terms and terminological phrases), selected from indexes to textbooks and books on translation theory, written by European authors such as Jeremy Mandy, Mary-Snell Hornby, Alessandra Rickardi Encyclopedia of Translation Studies 2005 and 2009 edited by Mona Baker and edited by Mona Baker and Gabriel Saldana, respectively. Definitional analysis allowed to identify the types of semantic relations in the terminological system, selected by the method of continuous sampling; the selection criterion was the presence of a textual definition, historical method. The study of terminological vocabulary sometimes touches on aspects that are inaccessible to traditional semantic analysis, hence the need for a cognitive approach. Terms express concepts that relate to any field of human activity or human knowledge, they are combined into a terminology system that reflects the system of knowledge in the field of translation studies. Representation of this system of knowledge is impossible only within the framework of traditional semantic analysis, in particular, as types of terminological fields. A broader view requires the use of a cognitive approach, which makes it possible to present a broad cognitive basis for the mechanisms of knowledge accumulation, processing, storage and presentation as cognitive models. The aim of this work is a comprehensive study of the mechanisms of lexical units that form the types of semantic connections in English translation terminology.
TO SEE A FREE MAN AND DIE? SPECIFICS OF SHARED ADHERENCE TO VALUES IN UKRAINIAN SOCIETY
Authors: Tashchenko Anna , Zabrodina Diana
Published: June 2022

The aim of this paper is to reveal the general line of sociological research questions in authors’ theoretical, methodical, and analytical developments during the 2019-2020 period. That line was related to values, moral, and social approval, as well as typification search, since authors methodically looked for clusters of opinions. The paper focuses on socially relevant cultural phenomena and processes that seem purely routine, but affect the deep foundations of socialisation in Ukrainian society. The formation and choice of values in Ukrainian society does not appear to be a comprehensive process, as it seems at first glance – they are complex, and not easy to predict. The paper identifies the dominant stereotypes about values, obligations, and information consumption in Ukrainian society, and answers three main questions: whom did Ukrainians approve by the choice of values; which moral dilemmas’ decisions were Ukrainians willing to approve themselves; and whom did Ukrainians need approval from by assessing the veracity of information.
CHANGEMENTS DE L’ULTRASTRUCTURE DE LA MUQUEUSE DU GROS INTESTIN LORS D’UNE PANCREATITE AIGUE
Authors: Vashchuk Vsevolod , Kyryk Taras
Published: June 2022

Parmi les patients atteints de pathologie abdominale aiguë qui ont été hospitalisés dans des hôpitaux chirurgicaux, environ 5% sont des patients atteints de pancréatite aiguë. De plus, au cours des dernières décennies, il y a eu une augmentation multiple du taux d'incidence. Selon de nombreuses études dans les pays industrialisés, l'incidence de la pancréatite aiguë est de l'ordre de 200 à 800 nouveaux cas de pancréatite aiguë pour 1 million d'habitants par an. Selon de nombreux chercheurs, l'un des principaux facteurs à l'origine de la pancréatite aiguë sévère est l'invasion de bactéries gram-négatives à partir du côlon, par translocation bactérienne pathologique. Ce mécanisme peut jouer un rôle majeur dans le développement de complications septiques – "la mort commence dans le côlon, qui, dans une pathologie abdominale aiguë, se transforme en un abcès non drainé". L’aticle présente les résultats de l’étude concernant les particularités de l’ultrastructure de la muqueuse du gros intestin chez les malades avec pancréatite aiguë. Sur la base de l’analyse de 75 microphotos il a été constaté que l’épicentre principal des changements destructifs se trouvait dans les couches externes de la muqueuse du côlon. Les changements signalés ont été qualifiés comme les signaux précurseurs du développement de la translocation bactérienne pathologique.
Political stance of Libyan tribes during the Civil War (2019–2020)
Authors: Makhmutova Mariya I.
Published: June 2022

In this article, the author analyzes one of the most difficult problems in the Arab region, the civil war in Libya after the overthrow of Colonel Muammar Gaddafi in 2011. The author focuses on the fresh round of the escalation of the conflict (2019–20) between the eastern and western centers of power. The paper presents the importance of the political positions of Libyan tribes in the course of hostilities and their impact on the internal situation. The key issue of the study considered in the article directly concerns the political positions of the main clans within Libya. The author explains why some of the clans decided to participate in the military campaign on the side of the Libyan National Army, while the other defended the Government of National Accord; there were also those who adopted the position of non-interference in national affairs, since they sought to maintain autonomy. The main purpose of this work is to demonstrate the specifics of the Libyan problem, which is not only the desire of Tripolitania, Cyrenaica and Fezzan for their autonomous existence but also the internal contradictions between different tribes. It remains one of the most important factors hindering the unification of the country. After analyzing the publications in the modern Arabic-language press, the author offered her vision of the reasons for the ongoing armed confrontation in Libya and also presented and analyzed the full range of political positions and the role of the main Libyan tribes during the civil conflict, especially its latest round, which gives an idea of the complexity of the internal situation in Libya. The conclusion indicates the main reasons why Libya as a country cannot currently be a single and whole entity. The problem lies mainly in the complex ethnic and tribal situation as well as in the desire of individual tribes for an autonomous existence.

The formation of the microtopography of the machined surface is one of the most critical factors in ensuring the effective operating properties of the product. These are indicators such as wear resistance, fatigue strength, provision of friction parameters of moving joints, etc. The most important reason for the formation of microroughness is vibration in the technological surface of the machine-tool-tool-tool-workpiece. This article is devoted to describing a new method of modelling the dynamic processes of machining. The peculiarity of this technique is using the results of rheological modelling (DEFORM). In addition, the consideration of regenerative vibrations of the tool is the difference of the described model. Regenerative oscillations arise due to surface roughness, which will be processed as a result of the previous technological stage of mechanical treatment. The mathematical model and the research results are described in the article. Recommendations for reducing oscillations are given.
Optimization of cyclone operating modes with intermediate dust removal using gas flow structure analysis
Authors:   Department of Designing and Operation of Machines, Lviv Polytechnic National University, Maіstruk Volodymyr
Published: June 2022

The analysis of works in which designs of the dust collecting devices which are often used in the industry are investigated is carried out. It is established that forecasting the work of dust collecting devices in certain conditions is most effective to perform methods of numerical modeling and simulation of the separation process, which are widely used for research of devices of this type. Using numerical simulation methods, it is defined the structure of the gas flow in the cyclone with intermediate dust removal for different modes of operation, which was obtained by suction of gas through the dust unloading holes at constant total costs. For this cyclone, the change in the radius of the tangential, radial, and axial velocity component for different operating modes is investigated. In the course of the research, it is established that in the separation space the tangential component of velocity with increasing radius changes according to the parabolic law. The maximum values are 16–17 m/s. The suction of part of the gas in the amount of up to 20 % through the dust unloading holes slightly reduces the tangential component of the speed (up to 5 %) in the separation zone. It is determined that in the conical part the maximum values of the tangential component of the velocity decrease to 6–7 m/s. The reduction occurs both due to the flow of gas flow from the descending to the ascending, and the suction of gas through the dust unloading holes. It is established that the radial component of the velocity varies from 1 m/s in the separation zone to 5.5 m/s in the conical part. It has been found that the suction of gas through dust unloading holes in the amount of more than 15 % of the total volume leads to a change in the direction of the radial velocity component in the conical part. It is determined that the axial component of the velocity of the separation zone receives maximum values of 9–11 m/s. In the conical part of the device, it decreases to 2–4 m/s. The suction of part of the air through the dust unloading holes leads to a shift of the axis of the internal vortex relative to the geometric axis of the apparatus below the lower end of the exhaust pipe.It is established that the creation of a directed flow of gas through the dust unloading holes in the additional dust collector in the amount of up to 15 % of the total gas volume contributes to a more efficient operation of the dust collector. A further increase in the amount of exhaust air leads to greater turbulence of the flow and less efficient operation of the apparatus.

Published: June 2022

The characteristics of internal combustion engines (hereinafter referred to as ICE) have the following disadvantages: there is a gap between zero and minimum angular velocity, so it is impossible to move out of a state of rest; the dependence of torque on angular velocity is not ideal. They are corrected by the following converters: the first by a clutch or torque converter, and the second by a gearbox or variator. In addition, the ICE characteristics can be partially close themselves to ideal. Electric motors (here in after referred to as motors) of electric vehicles have an ideal characteristic that starts from scratch and has a large zone with a sustainable maximum power. The addition of the drive with the ICE motor in hybrid electric cars solves these problems. The different characteristics of ICE, motors and converters increase the number of possible configurations that affect the characteristics of the supply of power to the wheels. According to the traction characteristics of the car, the indicators of the traction and speed properties of the car are determined: the ability to overcome climbs, maximum acceleration, maximum speed on a horizontal road, acceleration time to a given speed, etc. The last two indicators depend primarily on the maximum power of ice or motor and are important for supercars, while for conventional cars or electric vehicles with close values of maximum speed and acceleration time to a given speed, they mean nothing. The authors propose to evaluate the efficiency of the drive during acceleration with maximum acceleration of the power utilization factor k N 0–100 – the particles from the division of the average value of the realized power on the wheels in the interval of speeds (0; 100) km/h by the maximum power value on the wheels. The characteristics of ICE and motors are given, traction characteristics in power coordinates are calculated – the speed of movement of cars with typical drive configurations, their power utilization coefficients are determined and appropriate conclusions are made. In the future, it is planned to investigate the use of power in more complex drive systems of hybrid cars with the recovery of braking energy.
EXTERNAL EVALUATION OF SELF-DIRECTED LEARNING SKILLS: ONLINE EDUCATION
Authors: Egorov Konstantin Borisovich , Zakharova Vera Anatolievna
Published: June 2022

Self-isolation measures implemented during the Covid-19 pandemic resulted in a quick transition to online instruction. As a result, teachers and students must master online learning tools and technologies in educational institutions. In addition, the problems with online education are frequently reported in scholarly sources. Many participants in the educational process faced difficulties during this period. In our opinion, many difficulties in online education were caused by insufficient training of self- directed learning skills in students and corresponding skills in teachers. At the same time, this group of universal learning skills is a mandatory part of education in Russian schools. The skills of self-organization and self-control are included in the Russian federal state educational standards requirements. A considerable number of scientific publications are devoted to the formation of assessment skills in school children. At the same time, the problem of training self-directed learning skills in online classes has not been sufficiently studied. This article examines the results of an independent assessment of self-directed learning skills and training in online classes for both primary school students and primary school teachers. As a result of the study, the following skills were identified as important for teaching primary school online learners: Planning, Self-Monitoring, Self-assessment, and selecting effective approaches for online learning. Empirical data were collected as part of the study. From this, the following points can be made: Primary school teachers are not prepared for online teaching; time demands on teachers have increased due to the specifics of teacher self-monitoring under the new conditions. Consequently, students need to learn the following skills during online teaching: self-monitoring, use of automated assessment and monitoring tools, self- and peer-assessment in the digital educational environment, and planning. The empirical data obtained show the importance of training self-monitoring skills for online teaching. Therefore, the proposed recommendations for improving teacher training education programs in pedagogical universities and in the teacher professional development system have practical relevance and can be implemented through appropriate educational programs.
VALUE PARADIGMS OF CHARACTER EDUCATION
Authors: Apressyan Ruben Grantovich
Published: June 2022

When speaking about the value component of character education, one usually means, first and foremost, the value content of education associated with educational goals. A look at the current network resources only confirms this impression. For example, the authors of online publications deal mainly with the problems of patriotic, civic, ecological, and democratic education; to a lesser extent, also with moral (which is often reduced to patriotic and civic education) and esthetic (artistic, musical); there are also publications on Christian, especially Orthodox education. There is no reason to believe that diversified education can be effective. However, as a preparatory intellectual elaboration on ideologically heterogeneous content to be incorporated into character education, such an approach, analogous to subject-differentiated learning, may have practical significance. The relationship between values and character education has two aspects. One concerns the value content of character education. Here, it is appropriate to discuss the values of education programs. The other concerns the value bases, the value component of the educational activity itself, and the ethos of education. The theme of the value paradigms of character education, mentioned in the title of this article, emerges here. The educator implements a specific value system in their activity. However, the particular educational activity is not always directed at forming the underlying value system.

Authors: Chlost Michał , Gdula Michał
Published: June 2022

Five-axis milling is a modern, flexible and constantly developing manufacturing process, which can be used for the machining of external cylindrical gears by means of cylindrical end mills and special disc mills on universal multi-axis machining centres. The article presents a new method of positioning the tip and the axis of the end mill and the disc cutter in order to ensure a constant value of deviation of the theoretical roughness Rth
along the entire length of the tooth profile. The first part presents a mathematical model of the five-axis milling process of the cylindrical gear and an algorithm for calculating the Rth
deviation values. The next section describes the positioning of the end mill and the disc cutter. Then, a new method for the empirical determination of the distribution of the involute root angle Δui and the data description by means of the interpolation function are presented and described. In the conducted numerical tests, the influence of the geometrical parameters of the cylindrical gear on the deviation Rth
is determined, assuming a constant Rth
value in the five-axis milling process.
The Use of Artemia for Aquaculture Industry: An Updated Overview
Authors: Madkour Khaled , Dawood Mahmoud A.O. , Sewilam Hani
Published: June 2022

The increasing global population tends many sectors to overcome the food security issue; sustainable aquaculture is one of the systems that reveal the food problem in the world. The aquaculture industry is drastically increasing to offer the growing demand for this food type. The high mortalities threaten this sector during the first larval stages because of the low supplies of suitable feed for the fish larva. Artemia is vital for the aquaculture industry as it is the primary feed source for fish larvae; it is distinguished by its small size, food carrier characteristic, and off-the-shelf food feature. However, the principal source of artemia cysts has been affected by climate change, ultimately affecting artemia cyst production. Consequently, many areas worldwide try to produce artemia locally to satisfy the aquaculture rearing requirements. As a feed transmitter, artemia can be enriched with essential elements to feed the fish larvae; this method increases survivability, growth performance, and other growth indicators for many fish species. This review aimed to update the academia and stakeholders involved in artemia production in relation to the aquaculture industry. An updated overview of artemia production is also presented in the current review.

Published: June 2022

Cell cycle synchronization of donor cells is an important step in mammalian somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT). This study was designed to compare the efficiency of serum starvation (Ss) and contact inhibition (cI) on cell cycle synchronization of jaguarundi, manul, and domestic cat skin fibroblasts, in the production of G0/G1 cells suitable for SCNT in felids. Ss was performed after the growing (G) cells reached 40–50% (G50+Ss), 60–70% (G70+Ss) and full confluency (Fc), i.e. in association with cI (cI+Ss). Frozen-thawed cells were cultured to the given state of confluency (d0; controls), and subjected to Ss or cI for 1, 3, and 5 days (d). In manul, the effect of Ss on arresting fibroblasts in the G0/G1 phase was noted after just 1d of culture at G70 confluence, while G50+Ss and cI+Ss were effective after 5d of treatment. In jaguarundi, 1–5d of G50+Ss and 5d of G70+Ss increased the percentage of G0/G1 cells versus d0 (P<0.01), with 5d of G70+Ss producing more (P<0.05) quiescent cells than after the same period of G50+Ss, cI+Ss and cI. In the domestic cat, Ss was efficient only after 3 and 5d of G50+Ss. In all species, cI alone failed to increase the proportion of G0/G1 cells compared to d0, however in the domestic cat, 5d of cI was more efficient than the same period of G50+Ss. In jaguarundi, >93% of cells were already in G0/G1 phase at d0 of Fc, suggesting that culture to Fc could be also a valuable method for fibroblast cell cycle synchronization in this species. In contrast to cI, prolonged Ss generated cell loss and could induce apoptosis and/or necrosis. In conclusion, Ss was the more efficient method for skin fibroblast cell cycle synchronization at the G0/G1 phase in manul, jaguarundi and the domestic cat. The response of cells to the treatments was species-specific, depending on cell confluence and duration of culture. This research may find application in preparing donor karyoplasts for SCNT in felids.
Why Osteoglossomorpha is one of the most peculiar groups of fish - a review
Authors: Dymek Anna M. , Dymek Jakub , Pol Przemysław
Published: June 2022

Osteoglossomorpha is a significant taxon for studies of evolution and various aspects of fish biology as an evolutionarily old group of fish. The taxon exhibits anatomical, morphological and physiological diversity and various adaptations such as air breathing or electroreception as well as modifications visible in sight and olfactory organs. A peculiarity of this group is the presence of four types of spermatozoa, namely complex introsperm and uni-, bi-, and aflagellate aquasperm. Given the unique morphology and large dimensions of some species, osteoglossomorphs are popular in aquaristics as ornamental fish, and in fisheries because they are an important source of food in many countries. The aim of this paper is to focus on some aspects of the biology and unique features as well as the importance for humans of this unusual group of fish.
Aquamimicry system: a sutiable strategy for shrimp aquaculture – a review
Authors: Khanjani Mohammad Hossein , Mozanzadeh Mansour Torfi , Fóes Geraldo Kipper
Published: June 2022

Shrimp culture is the most lucrative sector in aquaculture industry; however, for its sustainable development the environment conservation should be concerned. New developed technologies are required to achieve aquaculture to its sustainable goals. Among the different novel sustainable technologies, the biofloc technology (BFT) and more recently the aquamimicry system are considered as reliable methods in burgeoning development of shrimp culture. The establishment of the BFT needs a certain carbon to nitrogen (C: N) ratio so that heterotrophic bacteria able to utilize nitrogenous metabolites, and preserve the water quality in the standard ranges suitable for shrimp culture. In addition, the produced floc can be used as supplementary food for shrimp. On the other hand, the establishment of the aquamimicry system relies on organic carbon without providing a specific C: N ratio. In this system, a synergistic relationship between a prebiotic source, which usually consists of an oligosaccharide derived from the fermentation of a carbon source (e.g.,rice bran), and a probiotic source such asBacillussp. can provide natural conditions by blooming phytoplankton and zooplankton organisms, especially copepods. These live foods can be used as complementary foods for shrimp. Furthermore, the proliferation of beneficial bacteria in the aquamimicry system can provide stable culture condition for growth and welfare of shrimp. Based on the findings of recent literature, using the aquamimicry system for shrimp production is a more sustainable, eco-friendly, and greener than the conventional systems.
Optimizing and dimensioning a data intensive cloud application for soccer player tracking
Authors: Dobreff Gergely , Molnar Marton , Toka Laszlo
Published: June 2022

Cloud-based services revolutionize how applications are designed and provisioned in more and more application domains. Operating a cloud application, however, requires careful choices of configuration settings so that the quality of service is acceptable at all times, while cloud costs remain reasonable. We propose an analytical queuing model for cloud resource provisioning that provides an approximation on end-to-end application latency and on cloud resource usage, and we evaluate its performance. We pick an emerging use case of cloud deployment for validation: sports analytics. We have created a low-cost, cloud-based soccer player tracking system. We present the optimization of the cloud-deployed data processing of this system: we set the parameters with the aim of sacrificing as least as possible on accuracy, i.e., quality of service, while keeping latency and cloud costs low. We demonstrate that the analytical model we propose to estimate the end-to-end latency of a microservice-type cloud native application falls within a close range of what the measurements of the real implementation show. The model is therefore suitable for the planning of the cloud deployment costs for microservice-type applications as well.

This article examines the circumstances surrounding the first publication of an Indigenous novel in Canada, namely Uumajursiutik unaatuinnamut by Markoosie Patsauq, in 1969-70 It describes the context of the federal government’s cultural policy, in particular within the then Department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development, and how this impacted relations with Inuit generally speaking, but also how it set the stage for bureaucratic involvement in the production of an English adaptation of Patsauq’s text, widely known today as Harpoon of the Hunter. Finally, we present our own rigorous new translations, titled Hunter with Harpoon/Chasseur au harpon, done in collaboration with the author and based on his original Inuktitut manuscript, suggesting some more ethical practices for working with Indigenous source texts.
The Role of Book Covers in Shaping Visual Discourse
Authors: Yilmaz Simge
Published: June 2022

Book covers as visual materials convey what reading audiences can expect from texts. A quick glance at covers of translated Turkish books, translations from other languages and also German books (fiction and nonfiction) in the German-speaking book market shows that covers of works containing the word “Istanbul” in their title are typically decorated with mosques and minarets. Taking this observation as a starting point, this paper aims to question the underlying motivations of this special case focusing on selected literary translations, non-literary works on Istanbul, and local literary productions written in German. The analysis indicates that Istanbul holds a predefined, fixed, and clear-cut image in the minds of professional and nonprofessional German-speaking readers.

A “Guerra da Lagosta” , o “Dispositivo Pós-Colonial” e o Golpe de 1964.
Authors: Muniz Tulio souza
Published: June 2022

Este artigo aborda conflitos económicos e diplomáticos internacionais que, no discurso jornalístico e no imaginário social, são precipitadamente classificados como “guerras”. Parece ter sido o caso do conflito entre Brasil e a França, em 1963, que culminou com o que a imprensa chamou de “a guerra da lagosta”, pretexto para eclosão do que chamarei “Dispositivo Pós-Colonial” (DPC) e uma espécie de laboratório para o enfrentamento dos militares brasileiros com o governo João Goulart.
The forgotten voices of the militares cassados in Brazil
Authors: Schneider Nina
Published: June 2022

Forcibly retired military officials whose political rights were withdrawn (militares cassados) during the military regime have previously received no attention from either the military institution or civilians (the State, the general public, and scholars). It is only recently that the Brazilian Truth Commission appointed a subgroup to investigate the militares cassados and that new research projects have been initiated. This article asks why research on military repression has been neglected for so long, and discusses three hypotheses. It then introduces two militares cassados ─ Brigadier Rui Moreira Lima, whose political rights were withdrawn despite his distinguished military career in the Second World War; and Ivan Proença Cavalcanti, a military official who defied instructions from his superiors to open fire on students. Based on oral history interviews, autobiographies, military journals, and intelligence files, this article aims to kick-start a discussion about whether the neglect of the militares cassados may be symptomatic of a historiographical tendency to homogenise the Armed Forces in Brazil.
Representação do trabalho escravo na mídia brasileira: relatos de estudo de recepção com trabalhadores rurais maranhenses
Authors: Moura Flávia de Almeida
Published: June 2022

O presente artigo apresenta resultados preliminares de um trabalho de campo realizado em agosto de 2013 junto a trabalhadores egressos do trabalho escravo, realizado em Açailândia (MA). Na ocasião, utilizamos a abordagem orientada pela metodologia do grupo focal (COSTA, 2008) para uma primeira aproximação com o tema junto a um grupo de oito trabalhadores que foram contactados e mediados pelo CDVDH/CB (Centro de Defesa da Vida e dos Direitos Humanos de Açailândia Carmen Bascáran), entidade de referência na região e reconhecida nacional e internacionalmente. A pesquisa faz parte do projeto de doutoramento que tem o objetivo de identificar de que formas os trabalhadores rurais maranhenses compreendem a sua representação na mídia (como eles se veem na televisão). Buscamos analisar qual a identificação dos trabalhadores com os discursos midiáticos que tratam do tema.
As profissionais do sexo e a justiça do trabalho
Authors: Marques Maria Celeste Simões , Gomes Lilian Samantha Vasconcelos
Published: June 2022

O presente artigo tem por objetivo colocar em pauta a discussão acerca do reconhecimento de direitos trabalhistas as chamadas “profissionais do sexo”. Abordamos tal temática através do discurso jurídico, sem deixar de tratar, contudo, questões sociais que lhe são inerentes. Iniciaremos a partir da distinção doutrinária entre trabalho ilícito e trabalho proibido e faremos uso da CLT para identificar os elementos caracterizadores de uma relação empregatícia entre a prostituta e seu agenciador, e a sua inviabilidade atual, decorrente da tipificação imposta pelo Código Penal Brasileiro à prostituição subordinada. Por fim trazemos algumas decisões do Judiciário Trabalhista que reconhecem relação empregatícia para profissionais que exercem funções que, de alguma forma se relacionam à atividade prostitucional, evidenciando a dificuldade do Judiciário Trabalhista em reconhecer a Dignidade como primado de Direitos Humanos à esse conjunto de trabalhadoras frente a normatividade posta. Em última análise, a ausência de regulamentação da profissão acaba por alimentar uma cadeia de práticas ilícitas e de exploração humana que as reduz, inclusive, a condições análogas à de escravas.
Trabalho análogo a de escravo na Bahia: desmascarando o explorador
Authors: De Oliveira Gilca Garcia , Germani Guiomar Inez , Silva Elen Coutinho , De Araújo Théo Nascimento
Published: June 2022

Após o reconhecimento da presença do trabalho análogo a de escravo no País, como resposta da pressão popular e internacional, o Estado vem implementando medidas de combate deste crime tratado no artigo 149 do Código Penal brasileiro. É importante reconhecer avanços em algumas destas medidas como no caso da criação dos Grupos Especiais de Fiscalização Móvel (GEFM) e da “Lista Suja”. No entanto, em outras instâncias como no caso da PEC438A, sua aprovação na Câmara levou à proposição, por representante da bancada ruralista, de uma nova definição para o artigo 149 por meio da PL3842/2012 que pode incorrer em retrocessos quanto ao entendimento jurídico do trabalho análogo a de escravo. Assim, busca-se analisar aqui a atuação no bloco de poder de representantes de classes ou frações de classes quanto aos encaminhamentos adotados nas Plenárias das Casas Legislativas.
Sob o signo da diferença
Authors: Machado Madalena Aparecida
Published: June 2022

RESUMO: Neste artigo pensamos a questão da diferença na Literatura Pós-moderna, tanto em elementos poéticos e prosaicos quanto em sentidos possíveis nos textos literários. Formas de sensibilidade, paradoxos e fragmentações avaliados teoricamente corroboram para uma visão mais percuciente do que se entende por Literatura em tempos de globalização. No século XXI, autores do chamado cânone são pesquisados lado a lado dos não canônicos a fim de ultrapassar a barreira do mercado editorial. Ligados via qualidade estética nesta interpretação, o diferente deixa de ser o ignorado para uma compreensão mais perspectivada do que a Literatura pode produzir em termos de conhecimento. ABSTRACT: In this article we thought the issue of difference in Postmodern Literature, both poetic and prosaic elements as possible meanings in literary texts. Forms of sensibility, paradoxes and fragmentation theoretically evaluated to corroborate a more insightful than we mean by literature in times of globalization. In the twenty-first century, the authors called canon are searched abreast of noncanonical order to overcome the barrier of the publishing market. Connected via aesthetic quality in this interpretation, the other ceases to be ignored for a more than envisaged Literature can produce in terms of knowledge.

Men in transit: The spectrum of masculinity in Caio Fernando Abreu’s White Limit (1970)
Authors: Stacul Juan Filipe , Gonçalves Gracia Regina
Published: June 2022

In the present work, we aim at discussing the construction of subjectivity in relation to gender categories, especially in regards to male identity, in Caio Fernando Abreu’s first novel White Limit (Original title: Limite branco, 1970). We believe that the protagonist’s process of aging, alongside with his subject’s formation, in the narrative, takes us to face a fluidity, which puts at stake the notions of what is taken for granted as appropriate for the  individual.  Studies on the displacement of the contemporary subject, Gender Studies, and on men's studies in particular, will serve as the theoretical apparatus for the discussions raised here.
