Juventudes, patrimônio disposicional e aprendizagem situada: proposição de um modelo teórico para pesquisas
Authors: MORAES JHONY PEREIRA , COSTA SILAS DIAS MENDES , HELAL DIOGO HENRIQUE
Published: May 2023

Resumo O objetivo deste ensaio teórico é articulara discussão entre meios populares, patrimônio disposicional e aprendizagem situada, propondo um modelo teórico para pesquisas futuras. Sugere-se que o patrimônio disposicional dos jovens de meios populares (inclinações, comportamentos e práticas sociais) seja forjado em trajetórias individuais e contextuais, implicando o processo de aprendizagem situada e a socialização. A proposta traz contribuições para a compreensão sobre juventude de uma perspectiva sociológica e de práticas sociais, diferentemente de pesquisas conduzidas no mainstream da Administração, que tendem a focalizar a formação profissional e inserção dos jovens no mercado de trabalho do ponto de vista do comportamento organizacional. Após a articulação entre os conceitos, aponta-se um modelo teórico que pode orientar estudos empíricos. Ao fim, são apresentadas algumas possibilidades para a condução dessas pesquisas.
Traduzindo ideias de gestão: consultores como artífices da linguagem
Authors: VALVERDE JÉSSICA MONTEIRO , OLIVEIRA SAMIR ADAMOGLU DE
Published: May 2023

Resumo Com base na perspectiva da tradução e edição de ideias, buscamos compreender como consultores organizacionais utilizam elementos linguísticos para fazer circular ideias de gestão. Para isso, realizamos um estudo qualitativo com 16 consultores, por meio do emprego de análises de conteúdo e de retórica em entrevistas semiestruturadas. Os resultados apontam para o uso da tradução durante toda a atuação dos consultores, o que permite que eles obtenham legitimidade no campo. Evidenciamos que, para transitar entre os diferentes segmentos e portes organizacionais, os consultores utilizam a retórica numa perspectiva persuasiva, aliada ao conhecimento prático e teórico, por meio de um mecanismo por nós denominado “tradução para a prática” que visa à adaptação de conceitos à realidade consultada. Os consultores também recorrem a vocabulários específicos e a jogos de linguagem, o que enfatiza a importância estratégica do uso da linguagem para esse grupo ocupacional, que busca profissionalizar-se na sociedade contemporânea.
Translating management ideas: consultants as language artificers
Authors: VALVERDE JÉSSICA MONTEIRO , OLIVEIRA SAMIR ADAMOGLU DE
Published: May 2023

Abstract Using translation theory and management ideas literature, we aim to understand how organizational consultants use linguistic elements to circulate management ideas. We carried out a qualitative study with 16 consultants, using content and rhetoric analysis in semi-structured interviews. Results indicate the use of translation throughout the consultants’ work, allowing them to obtain legitimacy in the field. We showed that to move between different segments and organizational sizes, consultants persuasively use rhetoric, combined with practical and theoretical knowledge, through a mechanism we call ‘translation into practice,’ which aims to adapt concepts to the realities consulted. Consultants also resort to specific vocabularies and language games, emphasizing the strategic importance of language use for this occupational group that aims to professionalize itself in contemporary society.
From the effects to the verification of the uses of pornography by the audience
Authors: Ferreira Raquel Marques Carriço , Santos Marilia Souza
Published: May 2023

Abstract Pornography sites receive up to 75 million daily visits and digital technologies have made explicit sexual content more visible and accessible than ever before. Its intense consumption revived the interest of researchers in understanding what would justify the audience’s demand for pornography, as well as its possible effects, because, conceiving such relationships have direct consequences in the regulation and standardization of their production and circulation. In this sense, we seek to understand the motivations, the uses of the pornography by the audience, through a literature review that privileged the approach of the theoretical tradition of Uses and Gratifications. It also sought to expose our main findings: (i) manipulation of physiological reactions; (ii) social interaction; and (iii) self-awareness. In the end, we theoretically established the relationships between the uses and the possible effects of pornography on its users.
Dos efeitos à constatação dos usos da pornografia pela audiência

Published: May 2023

Resumo Sites de acesso à pornografia chegam a receber 75 milhões de visitas diárias e as tecnologias digitais fizeram do conteúdo sexual explícito mais visível e acessível do que nunca. Seu intenso consumo reavivou o interesse de pesquisadores pelo entendimento do que justificaria a procura e a exposição da audiência à pornografia, bem como seus possíveis efeitos, isso porque conceber tais relações têm consequências diretas na regulação e normatização da sua produção e circulação. Nesse sentido, nosso trabalho de pesquisa buscou compreender as motivações, os usos da audiência da pornografia, por meio de uma revisão de literatura que privilegiou a abordagem do tema pela tradição teórica de Usos e Gratificações. Além de explicitar nossos achados principais: (i) manipulação de reações fisiológicas; (ii) interação social; e (iii) autoconhecimento; estabelecemos teoricamente as relações entre as motivações de uso e os possíveis efeitos da pornografia sobre seus usuários.
The new rural economy in the discourse about sustainability in the Globo Rural magazine
Authors: Lengert Mathias , Moraes Cláudia Herte de
Published: May 2023

Abstract En este estudio, observamos la articulación y la construcción discursiva sobre el tema de la agricultura de base ecológica en las historias de portada de la revista Globo Rural. Nuestro objetivo general es identificar cómo esa revista construye el discurso sobre la agricultura ecológica al actuar bajo la tensión entre los discursos que circulan en ese medio de comunicación. A partir del trayecto de sentido vinculado al marco discursivo, reflexionamos sobre los aspectos socioculturales presentes en esa revista. Con base en ellos, notamos el dominio de la racionalidad económica, que busca despejar ideológicamente el discurso del ambientalismo. Por lo tanto, observamos la operación de la “nueva economía del campo” como un marco discursivo de Globo Rural, basado en la lógica de mercado de la ruralidad hegemónica y en la apropiación de la ideología ecológica de algunas ruralidades contrahegemónicas.
A proposed new frame score system for Nellore cattle
Authors: Sainz Roberto Daniel , Guimarães Nayanny Corrêa , Carmo Adriana Santana do , Magnabosco Claudio Ulhoa
Published: May 2023

Abstract A new frame score system was developed for Nellore cattle, based upon ideal slaughter weights to achieve desired degrees of carcass fat cover. Data consisting of 688 complete records including sex, age, weight, hip height, and subcutaneous fat on growing Nellore cattle (190 males and 498 females) were obtained from the National Association of Breeders and Researchers (ANCP), Ribeirão Preto – SP, Brazil. Weight data were regressed on sex, age, hip height, and fat cover as covariates. Age was then fixed at 550 days and fat cover was set to 6 mm, and new equations for frame scores (1 to 11) in Nellore cattle were developed: FrameNellore (males) = -42.43 + 0.04919 × Age + 0.3368 × Height – 0.0003369 × Age × Height and FrameNellore (females) = -41.76 + 0.04919 × Age + 0.3368 × Height – 0.0003369 × Age × Height (Age and Height in days and cm, respectively). The Nellore equations resulted in average frame of 5.3, ranging from 2.3 to 7.7. Values were similar for males (5.4) and females (5.3). By contrast, previous equations gave higher values, that were very different between males and females. The new Nellore frame scores appear reasonable, particularly regarding body composition.

Published: May 2023

Abstract Bovine leukosis is caused by an oncogenic virus of the genus Deltaretrovirus, causing losses associated with decreased production indicators and restrictions on exports of cattle and cattle products. The disease has a prolonged incubation period of between 1–5 years and the antibodies can be detected 2–3 weeks post infection. The disease can present asymptomatically, and develop persistent lymphocytosis or lymphosarcoma. The objective of this study was to estimate the prevalence and risk factors associated with bovine leukosis in Villavicencio, Colombia. Blood samples were taken from 636 animals, and obtained randomly from 24 herds. The samples were analysed using a Competition ELISA kit for the detection of anti-gp51 antibodies. Information on possible risk factors was collected, then OR and X2 were calculated, and statistically significant with p < 0.05 variables were included in a linear regression multivariate analysis. The general seroprevalence was 24.6% and the herd seroprevalence was 83.3%. The seroprevalence was 21.3% in males and 25.0% in females. The risk factors identified were abortion, non-bearing cows, artificial insemination, and use of common needles, Creole breed and participation in cattle exhibitions. The study confirmed the presence of bovine leukosis associated with reproductive and management factors.
Uso de placa de polimetilmetacrilato (PMMA) no tratamento de craniosquise associada à meningocele em uma bezerra girolando: relato de caso

Published: May 2023

Resumo A maioria das doenças genéticas acometem animais de raça pura e herdados como genes recessivos.Acraniosquise refere-se à disrafia, que acontece na linha média do crânio pelo não fechamento da sínfise craniana, podendo levar a herniação das meninges repletas de líquido cefalorraquidiano (meningocele), onde geralmente existe projeção do tecido meningeal. O diagnóstico é realizado a partir do exame clínico, dados anatomopatológicos característicos e através da realização de exames complementares de imagem. Como solução terapêutica, a abordagem cirúrgica para correção das craniosquises é a única descrita, e é indicada em casos em que o defeito de síntese craniana não permita a protrusão encefálica e exista a ocorrência apenas da meningocele, além da inexistência de sinais graves de alteração neurológica. O artigo relata um caso de uso de placa de polimetilmetacrilato (PMMA) no tratamento de craniosquise associada à meningocele em uma bezerra Girolando. Instituiu-se a abertura cirúrgica da saculação fronto-nasal, permitindo a drenagem de conteúdo líquido total de 488 mL, inspeção e rafia de membrana envoltória. Para recobrimento da abertura óssea fronto-nasal evidenciada, utilizou-se uma placa de polimetilmetacrilato (PMMA), moldada à superfície óssea e ancorada em tecido mole adjacente. Concluiu-se que, apesar do prognóstico desfavorável da enfermidade, a cirurgia de cranioplastia para tratamento de craniosquise associada à meningocele, com a utilização de placa de PMMA, neste caso, obteve resultados satisfatórios em relação a qualidade e manutenção da vida deste animal, avaliando-se em 19 meses pós-operatório.

Abstract The effect of sugar cane molasses, as a partial replacement to corn in the diet, on blood parameters and composition of the M. longissimus thoracis (LT) in growing pigs was explored in this study. Twenty female pigs aged 63 days, and weighing 28.98 ± 3.56 kg, were randomly assigned to either the control or sugar cane molasses treatments. Molasses was included at the 3% level to partially replace corn in their diet. Blood samples were collected at the beginning and end of the experiments. The animals were slaughtered at 110 days of age after 47 days in the experiment, weighing 67.9 ± 5.58 kg, and an LT muscle sample was extracted and evaluated. Each animal was considered an experimental unit. The treatment had no effect on the length and area of the LT muscle. Backfat thickness was reduced when using the sugar cane molasses treatment (5.80 mm) compared to the control treatment (8.90 mm) (P < 0.05). Higher enzyme gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) levels were observed in animals of the control treatment (67.10 IU/L) compared to animals treated with the sugar cane molasses treatment (49.90 IU/L) (P < 0.05). Moreover, the proximal composition, fatty acid profile, and quality were not influenced by treatment. Sugar cane molasses, used as an energy source to partially replace corn in the diet of growing pigs at a level of 3%, reduced the backfat thickness of the pig carcass and improved the serum concentration of the enzyme gamma-glutamyl transferase in pigs.

Abstract The use of morphological traits assessed using visual scores as indirect selection criteria in cattle has the advantage of evaluating young animals regarding potential productive and reproductive performance. This enables breeders to make earlier decisions compared to later measurements, such as scrotal circumference at 450 days (SC450) and stayability (STAY). The aim of this study was to estimate the genetic parameters for visual score traits and their associations with reproductive traits: scrotal circumference at 365 days of age (SC365), SC450, STAY, probability of precocious calving (PPC30) and age at first calving (AFC) in Nellore cattle. Visual score data from 4,175 Nellore cattle, with an average age of 22 months, and reproductive data from 3,075 cattle belonging to the HoRa Genetics Provada herd were used. The morphological traits were evaluated by the MERCOS methodology. The heritability estimates obtained ranged from 0.15 to 0.28 for visual scores and 0.10 to 0.54 for reproductive traits. Genetic correlations between visual scores and reproductive traits were generally low, except between: muscularity and PPC30; structure and STAY; racial and SC450; conformation and SC365, SC450, STAY, and AFC; navel and STAY and AFC; and sacrum and SC365, STAY, and AFC, which were moderate to high. The identification of animals with flat sacral bone (not protruding or sloping) can also be an efficient characteristic in the identification for early pregnancy, and together with the musculature score, they can be related to animals with lower age at the first calving.

Ethical limits to confirming identity by morphological features
Authors: Sobral André Oliveira de , Laureano Filho José Rodrigues , Almeida Adriana Conrado de
Published: May 2023

Abstract Technological advancements have generated tools to help with identifying individuals, allowing to verify identities and solve crimes by confirming found missing persons or accident victims, for example. An important ethical question, however, arises: do the ends always justify the means? Can facial identification from images collected by closed-circuit television cameras or analysis of photographic records confirm someone’s identity unequivocally? Can fingerprints or lip prints be used for any dactyloscopy? Knowing the limitations of scientific technical methods used in morphological comparisons allows examiners to comply with two fundamental constitutional principles: that of legality and right of the human person. By respecting them, examiners will be acting according to ethical limits.
The Educator in the Portuguese Senior University
Authors: Jacob Luis , Flauzino Karina de Lima , Cachioni Meire
Published: May 2023

ABSTRACT Educators are considered to be key players in the development of educational proposals of Senior Universities in Portugal. In the theoretical perspective of educational gerontology, this exploratory and qualitative research has identified the characteristics recommended for educators, based on the perspectives of older learners and educators, as well as those of technicians (researchers and experts) in the field of education for the older adults. Messages from 265 participants were submitted to content analysis and the results have shown that affective, primarily, and technical aspects of third-age education are seen as important, and thus recommended for those who teach seniors. The adoption of a technical-affective model for the teaching-learning practice regarding seniors is suggested.
Vacant Seats: contradictions to the expansion of access to federal universities in Brazil
Authors: Cássio Fernando , Travitzki Rodrigo , Jacomini Márcia Aparecida
Published: May 2023

ABSTRACT The article analyzes the effects of changes in the minimum admission scores via SiSU in filling seats offered in Pedagogy courses at Brazilian federal universities, between 2010 and 2017. The results show that the mismatch between the level of demand in admission processes and the performance of registered applicants may prevent access to public universities when an expansion of around one million seats is still a promise of the Brazilian National Education Plan 2014-2024. Paradoxically, the almost univocal defense of the democratization of access to higher education in Brazil is not always accompanied in universities by an internal debate that considers the complexity of the admission processes and establishes criteria to minimize the generation of vacant seats.

Published: May 2023

Abstract The flora of the Brazilian rupestrian grasslands represents a hotspot of species richness and endemisms. Stachytarpheta cassiae (Verbenaceae), is a micro endemic species, from which nothing is known. Here, we quantified the activity and intensity of vegetative and reproductive phenophases throughout 12 months and tested for their seasonality and their relationship with local climatic variables. Both vegetative and reproductive phenophases were continuous. No seasonality was observed in the vegetative phenophases and none of them was influenced by climatic variables. Only flower buds and mature fruits’ intensities showed seasonality in February (rainy season) and July (dry season), respectively. Accordingly, increased temperature and humidity combined explained increased production of flower buds whereas decreased rainfall explained increased mature fruits. Higher intensity in flower buds may respond to similar climatic conditions as other species in the community. However, S. cassiae is much different as it continues producing flowers continuously. Higher intensity of mature fruits in the dry season is expected as their seeds are abiotically dispersed. Due to constant flower and leaf production, S. cassia may be a key species for the conservation of many vertebrate and invertebrate species and for maintaining the biogeochemical functioning of the impoverished soils of the rupestrian grasslands.

Published: May 2023

Abstract Geastrum tupiense is a new species belonging to subsect. Velutina (Sect. Myceliostroma). The fundamental diagnostic characteristics are reddish immature basidiomata and rhizomorphs with bipyramidal crystals. It was found in two areas of the Atlantic Forest biome, considered one of the main hotspots in the world for its high level of endemism and biodiversity. Delimitation of this new species was based on morphological characters and phylogenetic analyses of ITS/LSU nrDNA. Descriptions, phylogenetic tree, photographs, and taxonomic discussion are provided.

Published: May 2023

Abstract Introduction: Urinary catheter-related infection is commonly associated with bacterial biofilm. The impact of anaerobes is unknown, but their detection in the biofilm on this device has not been previously reported. This study aimed to evaluate the capability to recovery strict, facultative, and aerobic microorganisms in patients using bladder catheters from ICUs using conventional culture, sonication, urinary analysis, and mass spectrometry. Methods: Parallel, sonicated bladder catheters from 29 critically ill patients were compared with their routine urine culture. Identification was performed using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization with time-of-flight mass spectrometry. Results: The positivity rate in urine (n = 2, 3.4%) was lower than that in sonicated catheters (n = 7, 13.8%). Conclusion: Bladder catheter sonication showed more positive culture results than urine samples for anaerobic and aerobic microorganisms. The role of anaerobes in urinary tract infection and catheter biofilm is discussed.

Resumo Este artigo analisa biografias de três mulheres ribeirinhas que têm como base investigativa os seus papéis sociais no cuidar através da medicina tradicional. Seus ‘relatos de vida’ transparecem as suas próprias percepções na construção e reconstrução de suas práticas de cura no enfrentamento de doenças, sempre levando em consideração as interações construídas com o meio e com tradições religiosas – dentre as quais se destacam a pajelança, o catolicismo e o pentecostalismo. As ilhas belenenses do Murutucum e do Combu são os ambientes antropogênicos nos quais as especialistas residem e atuam, ecossistemas de deságue hidrográfico de diversos rios paraenses e uma pequena parte do rio Amazonas no oceano Atlântico. As tipologias de curas tradicionais presentes nas ilhas foram analisadas a partir das narrativas destas três especialistas, num período de quase dois anos, com incursões, entrevistas e diversos tipos de observações in situ. Ao final, pode-se perceber que o quadro social e ambiental, bem como as diferentes expressões religiosas manifestas influenciam diretamente no diagnóstico e no tratamento terapêutico proposto por essas mulheres – que, apesar de habitarem o mesmo ecossistema e integrarem um grupo social comum, possuem saberes distintos, contudo, complementares.
Entre o céu e a terra: subsídios para uma arqueologia de territórios multitemporais alto-xinguanos

Published: May 2023

Resumo Uma diacronia de mais de dez séculos do povo Wauja e seus ancestrais arawak no rio Kamukuwakewene/Batovi possibilita a abordagem de padrões de uso, mobilidade e (re)ocupação da paisagem na longa duração. Um extenso repertório de narrativas se estrutura em torno de lugares com nome – espaços de habitação e de manejo, coleta e perambulação, indexando uma densa paisagem arqueológica e antropogênica, (re)produtora de práticas e sentidos. Uma paisagem outra, coexistente a esta, onde ancestrais não humanos seguem habitando suas aldeias, é também desvelada. A combinação de sentidos temporais lineares e não lineares (cronologia, genealogia e cosmologia) define o caráter multitemporal, propriamente espectral, desse território e sua condição como fonte de vida. Ponto focal nessa trama de relações espaço-temporais, a Gruta de Kamukuwaká é lar do chefe primordial, na fronteira com o agronegócio. O caso de seu tombamento como patrimônio da União e subsequente depredação epitomiza o panorama de desamparo das paisagens fluviais indígenas fora dos territórios demarcados. Problematiza-se o papel da Arqueologia em processos de licenciamento ambiental nas nascentes do Xingu e os desdobramentos de um conceito limitado de passado ‘evidencial’, ensaiando-se subsídios para a proteção legal do rio Kamukuwakewene por meio de uma arqueologia das práticas de sentido.
Brief Lower Body Functional Performance Questionnaire (Brief-LBFPQ) for independent older adults

Published: May 2023

Abstract Introduction The literature still lacks evidence about patient-reported outcome measures to fast screen the reduced physical performance of the lower body in older adults to be applied in any clinical setting as primary health care or without specific instruments in prevention campaigns, or even easy to be applied by phone. Objective: To develop a brief questionnaire to screen the lower body functional performance in community-dwelling older adults and to validate this new questionnaire with objective clinical tests. Methods A convenience sampling of 221 community-dwelling older adults was included in this cross-sectional study. The validity between Brief-LBFPQ and objective tests such as gait speed, Timed-Up and Go test (TUG), 5-Time Stand-to-Sit test (5TSST), and step test were assessed by multinominal logistic regression. Internal consistency was determined using Cronbach’s alpha and Test-retest reliability was determined using intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) for numeral scale and Cohen’s Kappa for ordinal scale. Results Brief-LBFPQ was significantly associated with objective tests. All eight items from Brief-LBFPQ presented an absolute agreement with ICCs values above 0.7. Kappa values of Brief-LBFPQ items ranged from 0.6 to 0.83, showing substantial agreement and perfect agreement. Conclusion Brief-LBFPQ could be very useful in general clinic settings as it provides earlier screening of functional impairment in independent older adults, and consequently may allow an earlier intervention approach.

Abstract Objective: to analyze the completeness, consistency and non-duplication of leprosy notification data in João Pessoa, Paraíba, Brazil, 2001-2019. Methods: this was a descriptive study, conducted with data from the Notifiable Health Conditions Information System, which checked for “duplication” (acceptable: < 5%), “completeness” (excellent = incompleteness ≤ 5%) and “consistency” (excellent: ≥ 90.0%), based on the proportion of complete and consistent fields. Results: the sample consisted of 2,410 notifications. Duplication was acceptable (0.3%). The completeness of the “bacilloscopy”, “affected nerves”, “examined contacts” and “reactive episode” fields was very poor (more than 50% incomplete). Consistency between the “operational classification” and “initial treatment regimen” fields was excellent (99.6%), while consistency between “operational classification” and “clinical form” was low (50.7%). Conclusion: although duplication was acceptable, poor completeness of diagnosis and follow-up fields hinders epidemiological analysis, recognition of the status of the disease and adoption of measures to control it.
BNCC DE GEOGRAFIA PARA O ENSINO FUNDAMENTAL E AS CONTRADIÇÕES PARA UMA EDUCAÇÃO DECOLONIAL E ANTIRRACISTA

Published: May 2023

Este artigo estimula o debate sobre as políticas educacionais no Brasil considerando, sobretudo, como as alterações do currículo escolar oferecem implicações diretas para a formação docente e a transformação social da realidade brasileira. O objetivo é desevolver uma análise sobre as contradições da Base Nacional Curricular Comum – BNCC para a promoção de uma educação geográfica decolonial e antirracista. Para isso, o documento foi submetido a uma análise dos conteúdos e referenciais associados às questões étnico-raciais apresentados no seu texto introdutório e, nos descritores de habilidades e competências orientados para a disciplina Geografia no Ensino Fundamental. A análise possibilitou a identificação de um conjunto de contradições e uma série de retrocessos estruturais e conjunturais que não garantem o desenvolvimento de uma ducação decolonial e antirracista a partir da georafia. Alguns desses resultados reiteram que a BNCC foi produzida como parte das ações de agentes sociais conservadores da sociedade brasileira, portanto, demonstra baixas possibilidades de promoção de uma educação transformadora e emancipatória.
The post-heroism of Stuur Groete aan Mannetjies Roux and Verraaiers
Authors: Broodryk Chris , Britz Danielle
Published: May 2023

There is much scholarship on the linkages between Afrikaner nationalism and South African (Afrikaans-language) filmmaking. Within the context of a sustained post-apartheid renegotiation of Afrikaans or Afrikaner nationalism in the popular imagination, in this article we argue that two feature film historical dramas from the production company Bosbok Ses Films, Stuur groete aan Mannetjies Roux (2013) and Verraaiers (2013), resonate thematically and aesthetically with Thomas Elsaesser’s notion of post-heroic cinema. While a number of pre-1994 Afrikaans-language films celebrated Afrikaner nationalism as personified in the figure of the hero, this article positions and uses Elsaesser’s post-heroism as a critical lens through which to demonstrate the ways in which these two films call attention to a post-hero whose actions and behaviour (often inadvertently) renders a productive renegotiating of the hero figure within a post-apartheid cinematic context. To supplement Elsaesser, we also draw on Johan Degenaar’s writing on political pluralism. In this article, we find that an Elsaesserian post-heroic approach to the two films allows the following constitutive components of post-heroic cinema to surface: atemporality as opposed to linear narrative time, parapraxis (productive failure) as opposed to traditional iterations of heroic acts and valour, and conceiving of the film screen as a surface in flux as opposed to the screen as a mirror. The article’s contribution to existing scholarship on contemporary Afrikaans-language cinema is three-fold: it is the first to utilise an Elsaesserian approach to Afrikaans film and as such to foreground and investigate the figure of the post-hero, it provides a critical account of two independently-made feature films that remain under-researched in current South African film scholarship, and it contributes to discourse around the ways in which popular media inform and respond to the renegotiation of Afrikaans (or Afrikaans) identity.

Additive manufacturing is a complicated process, including powder preparation and post-processing. The atmosphere during the processing of sensitive alloys like Ti6Al4V is among the most important factors. The N content influences the mechanical properties in a significant way. Therefore, it is essential to understand, recognise, and identify the problems in case of machine malfunction or human error. The influence of a low-quality atmosphere on the microstructure evolution and mechanical properties was investigated during the direct energy deposition of hybrid additive-manufactured Ti6Al4V. The properties of the built parts were characterised by chemical analyses, light and electron microscopy, and mechanical testing. High concentrations of N, which absorbed and dissolved with every deposition layer of the direct-energy-deposition process, promoted the formation of a layer of α-scale on the part’s surface. The presence of α-scale was confirmed by observing the sample surfaces and the lack of fusion pores where a layer of α-scale remained. The α-scale partially or entirely dissolved during the next deposition layer. The morphology of the partially melted, α-scale depended on the size of the deposition and, thus, on the temperature evolution during the direct energy deposition.
Digital technology and family dynamics

The inclusion of digital technology in family life has led to the emergence of new practices of ‘being together.’ Communication between family members is mediated by digital technology, thus producing changes that can be observed in family dynamics. Eleven families participated in the present study that aimed to analyze family interaction with digital technology. Our qualitative study was guided by two research questions: How do children and adults use and subjectively assess digital technology in their everyday lives? and How do families react to digital technology use and inclusion in their daily family routines? Referring to the different forms of digital behaviors that a family can manifest in relation to the use of digital technology, we identified three specific family approaches to digitalization: Resistant, Retained, and Receptive. The 3Rs family conceptual model regarding the acceptance and use of digital technology includes children’s and adults’ perspectives and provides a constructivist approach to understanding how digital technology connects all family subsystems and ultimately produces changes in the dynamics and construction of family life and identity.
Capturing populist elements in mediated discourse
Authors: Pažma Miroslav , Hardoš Pavol
Published: May 2023

The article measures the degree of populist elements present in party leaders’ discourses delivered as a part of their appearances in TV debates during the run up to the 2020 Slovak parliamentary elections. With the use of the ‘holistic grading’ approach, we empirically capture the presence and prominence of populist elements in textual transcripts of speeches delivered by 4 opposition party leaders. We start by defining populism as a discourse which can express a set of unique ideas and then follow up with arguments for the use of party leaders’ communication as the object of analysis. We then proceed to operationalize the exact coding process of the ‘holistic grading’ method which is used in our analysis. The measurement results quantitatively represent the degree of populist elements in the communication delivered during the electoral campaign. We note that the ‘holistic grading’ method was successfully able to capture populist elements in the performances of actors who have been previously labelled populist. We find consistent use of populist discourse in the performances of Boris Kollár, Igor Matovič, and Marián Kotleba, with the latter two producing several extremely populist performances. We then discuss our results and further implications derived from the collected data.

Background: The edible green algae Caulerpa racemosa (Forsskal) J. Agardh (Caulerpaceae), also known as “sea grape”, is an excellent source of phenolic compounds known for their activity to reduce free radicals.Objectives: The research aims to evaluate the total phenolic content and antioxidant activity of C. racemosa (70% ethanol extracts) obtained from different extraction methods, such as maceration, Soxhlet, and ultrasound.Methods: Total phenolics of the extracts were determined by the colorimetry method using the Folin-Ciocalteu reagent. Total phenol content was expressed as mg gallic acid equivalent (GAE) per g extract. The 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical was used to assess the antioxidant activity of the extracts.Results: the ethanol extract of C. racemosa obtained from the ultrasonic methods had the highest phenolic content (39.38 mg GAE/g) compared to other extraction methods (Soxhlet was 37.31 mg GAE/g and maceration was 22.05 mg GAE/g). The IC50 value against DPPH of the C. racemosa ethanol extracts using ultrasonic, Soxhlet, and maceration was 352.95, 365.73, and 375.84 μg/mL, respectively.Conclusions: the variation of the extraction methods affected the total phenolics content of C. racemosa ethanol extracts and their antioxidant activity. We reported here the potential of C. racemosa extracts as an antioxidant raw material from marine plants for medicinal, nutraceutical, cosmetics, and food products; however, more research is needed.

Systematic literature review on toxicants impacts dormant eggs in temporary wetlands: an ocean of unknowingness.
Authors: Parra Anguita Gema
Published: May 2023

Temporary wetlands are recognised biodiversity hotspots. Dormant egg banks, as part of their cryptic biodiversity, are responsible of wetlands resilience. Egg banks are also known to be sensitive indicators of anthropogenic disturbances. This study aims to assess the current state of research of toxicants impact on dormant egg banks in temporary wetlands. The systematic literature review carried out has shown the small number of studies on this topic. This study provides evidence of commonality concerning negative impact effect on the organisms, reducing hatching success, dormant eggs production and emergence, or species richness, among others, which might weaken ecosystem stabilization mechanisms by reducing biodiversity. Our review also revealed a glaring lack of in situ and long-term studies for understanding ecosystem consequences of toxicants on temporary wetlands. These gaps in knowledge hamper our ability to design and implement evidence-based conservation and management programs but opens opportunities for new research lines.
Herramientas para el monitoreo y control de sequías: un metaanálisis en contexto
Authors: Ferrer Pozo Esvillel
Published: May 2023

La investigación consistió en realizar un metaanálisis sobre herramientas de monitoreo y control de las sequías en todas sus manifestaciones, lo que permitió identificar como debilidad la existencia de datos poco consolidados sobre la sequía hidráulica. Se analizaron 3.116 artículos publicados en el período 2000-2020, identificando la gestión de la sequía como el tema más publicado. Se trabajaron otras métricas referidas al total de artículos y su distribución por años y países, la distribución por temas y por revistas, artículos y autores más citados. Se constató la existencia de 46 índices entre los más empleados para el monitoreo y control de la sequía a nivel mundial, sobresaliendo entre ellos los aplicados a la sequía meteorológica. No se encontró referencia de índices aplicados para la gestión de la sequía hidráulica, lo cual constituye un reto para los investigadores y gestores de los recursos hídricos.
Synthesis of Dynamic Output Feedback Controller Using Functions of Matrix Root-Clustering in D-Regions
Authors: Krasnoschechenko V. I.
Published: May 2023

This article considers an algorithm for the synthesis of dynamic output controller, where the eigenvalues of a closed control system should be located in a given region (D-region) of the complex plane. The main direction of the research is to synthesize dynamic controllers of minimal order when there is no complete controllability at the output. For this purpose, a brief excursion into the external Grassmann algebra is made with the purpose of determining the external product of vectors, on the basis of which the operation of the bialternate product of matrices is explained. The use of the bialternate product of matrices made it possible to introduce the functions of matrix root-clustering of complex eigenvalues located in separate transformable D-regions. For the usual product of matrices, the functions of matrix root-clustering of real eigenvalues located in separate transformable D-domains are introduced. The functions of matrix root-clustering are transforming, respectively, complex or real points of a given bounded or unbounded D-region of the complex plane into a left half-plane. The article considers the main D-domains most widely used in practice (disk, cone, stability margin), presents their matrix root-clustering and functions of matrix root-clustering of real and complex modes. An algorithm for parametric optimization of dynamic output feedback controller over D-domains has been developed. Practical examples of synthesis are considered. For a fourth-order object (a two-mass weakly damped system with two integrators and parametric uncertainty), a secondorder dynamic controller providing robust quality has been synthesized.
