Do conceito à definição: sobre o termo “desenho” em André Félibien
Authors: Macedo Cristian Cláudio Quinteiro , Barbosa Daniela
Published: September 2024

O presente artigo é um trabalho historiográfico com empréstimos da terminologia. A análise das obras de André Félibien sugere que as reflexões sobre o desenho levaram o autor a realizar uma síntese conceitual e, posteriormente, a elaborar uma definição do termo. Inicialmente usada no campo artístico, no século posterior a sua morte a definição foi absorvida em forma de exemplos pelos dicionários de língua.
Palavras-chave: História da arte. André Félibien. Desenho.
Abstract
This article is a historiographical work with borrowings from Terminology. The analysis of André Félibien’s works suggests that the reflections on drawing led the author to carry out a conceptual synthesis and, later, to elaborate a definition of the term. Initially used in the artistic field, in the century after his death the definition was absorbed in the form of examples by language dictionaries.

Performando com plantas no Antropoceno ob-cênico
Authors: Arlander Annette
Published: September 2024

Há alguma maneira para que a forma de arte antropocêntrica e antropomórfica por excelência – o teatro ou a performance – possa se expandir para além de seu viés humano e humanista? O termo Antropoceno é de alguma forma útil para os estudos de teatro e performance ou  para a performance como pesquisa? As afirmações das quatro teses sobre o feminismo pós-humano propostas por Braidotti podem, sem dúvida, ser trazidas à cena, mas elas têm relevância para o desenvolvimento ou compreensão de práticas de performance fora da cena e descentralizadas, como aquelas que tentam explorar formas e locais alternativos de performance, como o performar com plantas? Neste texto, examino as teses afirmativas de Braidotti e exploro sua utilidade no que diz respeito à análise de performances, utilizando alguns de meus  experimentos no projeto de pesquisa artística Performing with plants como exemplos, e pondero quais são as implicações e possíveis usos dessas teses para nossa compreensão das performances com entidades mais-que-humanas, com as quais compartilhamos nosso planeta.
Palavras-chave: Performance. Teatro. Não humano. Pós-humano. Análise de performance. Feminismo antropocênico. Braidotti. Antropocênico. Antropomórfico. Performando com plantas.
Abstract
Is there a way for the anthropocentric and anthropomorphic art form par excellence, the theatre, or performance art for that matter, to expand beyond their human and humanist bias? Is the term Anthropocene in any way useful for theatre and performance studies or performance-as-research? The assertions of Braidotti’s four theses can undoubtedly be put on stage, but do they have relevance for developing or understanding performance practices off- stage and off-center, such as those trying to explore alternative ways and sites of performing, like performing with plants? In this text, I examine Braidotti’s affirmative theses and explore their usefulness with regard to performance analysis, use some of my experiments in the artistic research project Performing with plants as examples, and consider what the implications and possible uses of these theses are for our understanding of performances with other-than-human entities, which we share our planet with.
Keywords: Performance. Theatre. Non-human. Posthuman. Performance analysis. Anthropocene feminism. Braidotti. Anthropocentric. Anthropomorphic. Performing with plants.

A review: Data visualization for COVID-19
Authors: Cai Yiheng
Published: September 2024

As COVID-19 raged across the globe, it seriously disrupted social health security, daily work, and the rest of the people, which aroused great panic among all classes. These facts extensively affected the regional circulation and economic growth of the epidemic area. Data visualization, an advanced technology, can help humans understand epidemic transmission trends, identify high-risk areas of outbreak, and evaluate prevention and control policies. Previous essays immediately established databases to organize and build datasets. Other researchers built new visualization models to analyze the causes of virus transmission and pointed out the low efficiency of the existing COVID-19 system response. Although various research and data visualization methods have been used on COVID-19, there has not been a comprehensive, systematic essay that covers the entire span of COVID-19 and its data visualization usage. Therefore, this paper will provide a new systematic and comprehensive perspective to explore the analysis of data visualization to solve COVID-19 data challenges and provide research methods and applications for COVID-19. To be specific, this paper first introduces the characteristics and challenges of COVID-19 epidemic data people may face during the data visualization process, which includes data complexity problems, data timeliness problems, data regional problems, and data quality problems. Then, this paper discusses data visualization methods used by predecessors in previous research. After that, this paper describes the urgent data visualization analysis requirements of COVID-19, including regional differences in virus spread, the influence of temperature on the virus, transmission trends, and death rates for different genders and ages, etc. Finally, this paper reviews applications of data visualization in COVID-19 analysis, followed by earlier-stage prevention, mid-term containment, and later-term reduction of impact. This paper provides an important reference for further research and application of data visualization technology in COVID-19 prevention and control, which brings new ideas for strengthening future epidemic surveillance and data visualization for global epidemic prevention and control.
Review on the Integration of Just-in-time Adaptive Intervention and Internet-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in Reducing Suicidal Thoughts and Behavior
Authors: Chen Zekai
Published: September 2024

Suicide remains a major public health challenge in the world. The current suicide prevention approaches face challenges in timing mismatch, access barriers, and lack of personalization, complicating the environment for successfully reducing suicidal thoughts and behaviors (STBs). Mobile health has been an emerging but effective approach to supporting and treating mental illnesses. The strengths of Just-in-Time Adaptive Interventions (JITAI) and Internet-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy(iCBT) are potential approaches to resolving the current challenges of suicide prevention. This paper examines the definitions of JITAIs and iCBT and explores their use in mitigating suicidal thoughts and behaviors. It is proposed that the integration of JITAIs and iCBT could address the current obstacles in preventing suicidal thoughts and behaviors due to their advantages in availability, accessibility, and personalization. However, this integration also has its limitations, necessitating further research. The paper underscores the necessity of future empirical studies on the combined use of JITAIs and iCBT to reduce suicidal thoughts and behaviors.

Authors: García Parada Ricardo , Villar Laguna Víctor , Marrón Ramos Domingo Noe , Ortiz Camacho Jorge Javier , Marrón Hernández Uriel Noe
Published: September 2024

En un mundo académico cada vez más competitivo, ¿cómo perciben realmente los estudiantes de posgrado la calidad de su educación? Esta pregunta fue el punto de partida de un fascinante estudio realizado por un equipo de investigadores mexicanos. Utilizando el modelo SERVQUAL, una herramienta probada para medir la calidad del servicio, el equipo se sumergió en las experiencias de 15 estudiantes de posgrado en educación.
Los resultados pintaron un cuadro intrigante y algo agridulce. Con una satisfacción general del 62.79%, los estudiantes parecían tener una relación de amor-odio con sus programas. Mientras apreciaban la seguridad y empatía ofrecidas por sus instituciones, se sentían menos impresionados por la fiabilidad y capacidad de respuesta de los servicios.
Este estudio no solo arroja luz sobre las fortalezas y debilidades de los programas de posgrado en México, sino que también plantea preguntas más amplias sobre la educación superior en la era digital y globalizada. ¿Cómo podemos cerrar la brecha entre las expectativas de los estudiantes y la realidad de la educación de posgrado? ¿Qué papel juegan factores como la tecnología y la diversidad en la percepción de la calidad educativa?
Al final, este estudio nos recuerda que detrás de cada estadística hay seres humanos: estudiantes ambiciosos que buscan crecer, profesores dedicados que se esfuerzan por inspirar, y administradores que intentan equilibrar múltiples demandas. Es un llamado a la acción para que las instituciones de educación superior escuchen más de cerca las voces de sus estudiantes y trabajen incansablemente para mejorar la calidad de la experiencia educativa.

Authors: Ayu Oktoriza Linda , Rahmawati Nur Fitri
Published: September 2024

This study aims to analyze the effect of the capital structure on PT. Pegadaian (Persero) tbk. It can determine where the capital is obtained by going directly to the field. This study uses qualitative methods with various other literature. The pledge is a right obtained by a creditor for a movable object, which is handed over to him by a debtor or by another person on his behalf, and which gives the debtor the authority to take payment of said item in priority over other creditors, except for the cost of auctioning the item and the costs incurred to salvage it. Based on the research described by the researchers, it can be concluded that the existing capital structure of the two pawnshops is either sharia or conventional. The capital structure owned by these two pawnshops is purely from the State. Because this pawnshop company is a State-Owned Enterprise (BUMN), all the principal capital comes from the State.

Authors: Bagirov Siyavush
Published: September 2024

The subject of the article is the return of Azerbaijanis to their native territories, a topic that has gained enough attention recently in the legal community and in both Azerbaijani and Armenian society, particularly after the 2020 clashes between the two states. The article's study direction, in contrast to many other scientific and journalistic works already in existence, addresses this return to the national level rather than the international ground. As a result, the constitutional acts of the Armenian Soviet Socialist Republic and the Republic of Armenia are interpreted. To support this interpretation, the relevant legislation from the USSR at that time, as well as the Azerbaijan SSR's analogical citizenship acts are also evaluated. The article's goal is to assess the 1988–1991 deportation from the perspective of Armenian legislation. It was determined that the 1988–1991 deportation described in the article violated Armenia's constitutional acts in addition to other theoretical aspects and public legal relations. Keywords: citizenship, deportation, constitutional law, declaration of state independence, fall of the USSR, Azerbaijan-Armenia relations, Karabakh conflict.

As enterprises increasingly migrate to digital platforms, securing systems from unauthorized access becomes crucial to safeguarding sensitive data. Identity and Access Management (IAM) systems have traditionally been implemented to manage user access and authenticate identities. However, with growing threats of sophisticated cyber-attacks, traditional IAM methods are proving inadequate. Artificial Intelligence (AI) has emerged as a transformative force in enhancing IAM systems by providing adaptive, intelligent solutions to prevent unauthorized access. This paper explores the role of AI-enhanced IAM in modern enterprises, emphasizing its ability to predict, detect, and respond to potential security breaches. Through a detailed examination of current AI applications in IAM, this study demonstrates how AI-enabled tools can increase security resilience, reduce false positives, and automate responses to evolving threats, thus offering enterprises a proactive defense against unauthorized access.

Published: September 2024

El estudio tuvo como objetivo determinar la relación entre los hábitos de lectura y la comprensión lectora en estudiantes de octavo año de Educación General Básica Superior en Latacunga, Ecuador. Se utilizó un enfoque mixto con métodos inductivo y deductivo, aplicando un cuestionario sobre hábitos de lectura y una prueba de comprensión lectora. La muestra incluyó a 160 estudiantes seleccionados mediante muestreo aleatorio estratificado. Los resultados indicaron una correlación negativa significativa entre la falta de hábitos de lectura y el bajo nivel de comprensión lectora. El 50% de los estudiantes dedica menos de una hora a la lectura semanalmente, y el 68,75% presentó niveles bajos de comprensión lectora. Se observó que los estudiantes que no leen con frecuencia obtuvieron puntuaciones significativamente más bajas en las pruebas de comprensión. Asimismo, se identificaron barreras que afectan los hábitos de lectura, tales como la falta de bibliotecas escolares y la escasa participación de los padres en la promoción de la lectura. Además, el 84,38% de los estudiantes indicó que los profesores son la principal fuente de influencia para la elección de lecturas, mientras que el 50% de los padres nunca lee en casa, lo que refuerza la falta de hábitos de lectura en el hogar. Las conclusiones sugieren que es necesario implementar estrategias educativas para fomentar los hábitos de lectura en los estudiantes, a través de la creación de bibliotecas escolares y la capacitación de los docentes en la promoción de la lectura. Mejorar estos hábitos contribuiría a un aumento en el nivel de comprensión lectora de los estudiantes. Este estudio proporciona una base sólida para futuras investigaciones que exploren la relación causal entre los hábitos de lectura y el rendimiento académico.

The Spatial-Temporal Canvas That We Call the Stage: Text and Performance in Final Solutions
Authors: Kumar Manivendra , Ghoshal Ananya
Published: September 2024

The article studies the significance and function of stage directions in Mahesh Dattani’s Final Solutions (1993). The stage directions propel the play-text to transcend into a performative script. Scholars Jisha Menon (2013) and Aparna Dharwadker (2005) commend Dattani’s ‘innovative’ dramaturgy for realistically representing the urban-middle-class home along with the complex social issues pervading this social milieu. This article argues for their assertion and extends their studies by examining the source of Dattani’s inventive stagecraft – his stage directions. It argues that Dattani challenges the label of dramatic text through his stage construction and stage directions. These directions add theatricality and render a visual appeal to the written text, which acts as a ‘drama’ for the students and critics of literature and a ‘fabel’ or a blueprint for other directors. The ostension of multiple levels of space-time in the text through stage directions reifies the mise-en-scene in the readers’ minds and also foregrounds Dattani’s reformist method of creating a conflict in his readers/audiences’ minds. Using a comparative analysis of the stage directions in the play-text by Dattani and a stage production by the Delhi-based Asmita Theatre under the direction of Arvind Gaur, it foregrounds Dattani’s extravagant and complex construction of the stage. It studies his distinct usage of the stage as a ‘spatial-temporal’ entity and establishes that Dattani’s stage directions are quintessential to his reformist agendas.

Farmers in rural areas can only earn revenue from rice farming which rice farming supports their better lives. Agricultural knowledge is a potential incentive for promoting well-being. This paper was survey research, there were two sections: 1) the author utilized an econometric approach to analyze the earnings of farmers from 10 provinces from 2017–2021; there were 1120 farmers involved in the survey; 2) the author used an economic evaluation approach to analyze effectiveness and efficiency of ODA by using data from 1110 farmers in 2018; 1205 farmers in 2019; and 1330 farmers in 2020. ODA is Instrumental Variables (IV) in the mincer model, ODA promotes agricultural knowledge for farmers, and of course, agricultural knowledge promotes revenue for farmers. The 2SLS and maximum likelihood are essential for the quartic function of mincer. Evaluation approaches from OECD/DAC and PCAP/JICA were utilized to compare the results of well-being indicators called basic human needs (BHN). According to the results of this study, the earnings of farmers who joined ODA projects were higher than the earnings of farmers who did not join ODA projects. The result of the economic evaluation approach found ‘ineffectiveness’; on the other hand, the author could find the efficiency of ODA projects. Finally, the recommendation is that the government policy on BHN should be consistently linked to the ODA program made by both the government and donors. Certainly, BHN policy for farmers who are minorities is necessary such as providing rice fields to be utilized for free, this will lead to chances for farmers to enhance their well-being from rice production.
