A Portrayal of Gender and a Description of Gender Roles in Selected Works of Mahasweta Devi
Authors:   LNCT Bhopal, Gaud Shraddha
Published: November 2024

Novelists and Writers since time immemorial have been instrumental in mirroring the plight of subordinated and exploited classes. Literature is the genre through which writers since the inception of civilization have emphatically highlighted the current problems of the day. Through this research article, a sincere attempt has been made to understand the problems and the struggles of tribal women. Mahasweta Devi was a revolutionary in the sense that her writings are a bold indictment of a society that uses custom, religion, and even brute force to keep women subjugated. Though women are worshipped in the form of Kali, Durga, and Shakti yet the orthodox patriarchal society through the means of force and restrictions like the sati system, child marriages, and denial of education to women, put restraint on their movement at social, and political and educational levels. Women have performed the role of both mother and the Other. No matter how the world changes, no matter which country and social system people live in, no one can deny women`s marginalization in history. In the twenty-first century, we strongly talk about women empowerment and equality but much remains on the black and white. We are divorced from the actual world. The picture is very different in rural, semi-urban, and backward areas. History records history from above; class, but literature records history from below; the truth. This paper thus explores Mahashweta’s extraordinary writing style of pen downing the real sorrow and suffering of tribal women in India.
Revisiting the Existing Clash Between Utopian and African American Literature
Authors:   Devi Ahilya Vishwavidyalaya, Indore Madhya Pradesh, Joseph Wilson Deepa
Published: November 2024

Abstract “In other commonwealths, every man knows that unless he provides for himself… he must die of hunger, but in Utopia where every man has a right to everything…no private man can want anything; for among them there is no unequal distribution so that no man is poor, none in necessity…for what [else] can make a man so rich as to lead a serene and cheerful life, free from anxieties….?” - Sir Thomas More, Utopia The very existence of the term utopia has always been there, from time immemorial. This term utopia in its most basic or rudimentary form can be defined as a hope for a more perfect and desirable world than our own, Literary utopia was often conventionally read as either peremptory and totalitarian schemes or as unrealistic and fanciful dreams. Utopian literature is usually interpreted as a representation of an archetypal ideology. This paper will be arguing the idea, that utopian literature wants to interpret and how it is in a total clash with the African-American novels especially with the Slave narratives; to support this argument, it will be taking the help and will also focus on these two novels- ‘Kindred’ by Octavia E. Butler and “12 Years of A Slave” by Solomon Northrup. Hence, this research paper will try to question Sir Thomas More’s explanation of a utopian world and how it will just remain a dream to attain Utopia in literature dealing with horrors of cast and color. This paper will conclude with a question rather than an argument added with a recommendation, whether utopian literature can ever become a part of our reality.

IMPACTO DA COMUNICAÇÃO DE MÁS NOTÍCIAS POR PROFISSIONAIS DE SAÚDE DE SERVIÇO DE REFERÊNCIA: UM RELATO DE EXPERIÊNCIA
Authors: Beggiato Catarina Mayer Soares Ogasavara , Bittencourt Isabella Burger , Matsugano Leonardo Ryoiti , Timmermann Maria Júlia , Severino Victoria Gomes , Sprenger Vitória
Published: November 2024

As temidas “más notícias” impactam drasticamente na vivência de seu ouvinte, devido às repercussões potencialmente negativas por elas causadas. Justamente por seu conteúdo sensível, a forma com que são transmitidas exige eficiência e empatia – valores que raramente estão presentes na prática dos profissionais de saúde. O objetivo do relato é demonstrar a importância de seguir protocolo de comunicação de más notícias, a fim de construir relação profissional-paciente acolhedora em contrapartida com o observado atualmente. O presente relato foi obtido por meio de vivências de seis estudantes ao fim de sua graduação na medicina, evidenciando falha grave na comunicação em serviços de saúde de referência. Vale ressaltar o caso, no qual era necessário expor o diagnóstico de câncer peniano. Momentos prévios à comunicação, o paciente havia relatado ideação suicida caso fosse necessário amputar o membro. A frase “Vamos ter que cortar metade desse pinto aí. É câncer, já está sabendo?” Evidenciou a falta de preparo e empatia que ocorre mesmo em serviços universitários responsáveis por educar novas gerações profissionais. A quebra da relação pode, portanto, frustrar o entendimento das expectativas do paciente quanto ao tratamento ou deixar de envolvê-lo no seu planejamento. Pode também gerar falhas de comunicação, como a incompreensão sobre prognóstico ou finalidade do tratamento. Nesse cenário, a comunicação de más notícias é otimizada com procedimento escalonado, como a ferramenta “SPIKES”. A sigla em que “S” compreende acomodar o paciente confortavelmente; “P”, realizar perguntas abertas para entender sua percepção; “I”, compreender o quanto ele deseja saber; “K”, comunicar a notícia; “E” acolher as emoções com empatia; “S” discutir o plano de tratamento com o paciente. Por fim, faz-se necessária a familiarização dos profissionais de saúde com protocolos próprios como “SPIKES”, visando melhorar a experiência do paciente com o adoecimento, não os deixando desamparados como no exemplo discutido.

Published: November 2024

A nefrolitíase apresenta uma elevada prevalência em todo o mundo, e no Brasil, essa realidade não é diferente. Por ser uma doença de causas multifatoriais, a realização de uma investigação metabólica torna-se crucial para estabelecer o tratamento clínico apropriado e prevenir futuras recorrências, que são muito comuns. É relevante observar que, em muitos casos essa análise metabólica não ocorre o que prejudica o tratamento a longo prazo dos cálculos renais, impedindo a prevenção, além de causar prejuízos econômicos ao sistema de saúde. Esse artigo tem como objetivo realizar o levantamento de dados sobre a investigação metabólica em acadêmicos de medicina de uma universidade particular do município de Cascavel-PR. Com isso espera-se que os dados indiquem a insuficiência do conhecimento da importância da investigação metabólica.

O sucesso da reabilitação oral em implantodontia na clínica diária está diretamente associado a um correto, organizado e criterioso planejamento que deve ser individualizado e executado a fim de atender às necessidades de cada paciente. Características anatômicas do periodonto, como a presença de doença periodontal e o biótipo gengival, são fatores que devem ser avaliados durante o exame clínico de um paciente com necessidade de implantes. Objetivando realizar uma revisão de literatura sobre a relação do fenótipo gengival e reabilitações envolvendo implantes dentários. Trata-se de uma Revisão de literatura narrativa, cuja busca de estudos foi realizada nas bases de dados eletrônicas Scientific Eletronic Library Online (SCIELO), e PUBMED publicados nos últimos 5 anos, utilizando os seguintes descritores e operadores booleanos: “Implante Dentário’’ AND “Periodontia’’ AND “Diagnóstico Oral”. O tratamento de implante após a perda dentaria, independentemente da forma tardia ou imediata com ou sem emprego de carga pode criar várias complicações biológicas ou biomecânicas, porém a deiscência vestibular é a complicação que mais compromete a estética. O fenótipo gengival fino e festonado podem ter um resultado estético desfavorável, diagnóstico precoce e de patologias presentes bem como o controle e adesão ao tratamento corroboram para o sucesso a longo prazo do tratamento com implantes dentários.

Land use/land cover forecast and urban sprawl analysis in a Brazilian city in the Atlantic Forest Biome
Authors: Ribeiro Marina Pannunzio , Viégas Vandré Soares , de Mello Kaline , Soares Fabiana da Silva , Valente Roberta Averna , Chen Dongmei
Published: November 2024

Abstract. Urban sprawl, a consequence of urban growth, profoundly impacts land use/land cover, particularly in regions like the Brazilian Atlantic Forest, as this Biome hosts most of the Brazilian population and is recognized as a global biodiversity hotspot. This study uses geospatial techniques, the Cellular Automata model, and structural landscape metrics to simulate future urban land use changes for 2050. The simulation suggests a significant increase in urban areas by 2050, changing from 32.1% in 2020 to nearly 43% by 2050, mainly encroaching upon agricultural lands. Conversely, forest fragments are projected to decline (lost 3% of areas), and the connectivity analysis highlighted the loss along the rivers, emphasizing the need for proactive conservation strategies. Preserving periurban agriculture is vital for food security and sustainable development, while innovative management of riparian ecosystems enhances urban biodiversity and citizen well-being. Sustainable urban planning and conservation efforts are imperative to mitigate the adverse effects of urban sprawl and foster resilient cities. This research provides crucial insights for decision-makers aiming to balance urban development with environmental preservation in the face of rapid urbanization.

Published: November 2024

Abstract. Forests are indispensable ecosystems, providing vital resources and services crucial for human well-being and sustainable development. Remote sensing has emerged as a potent tool for mapping forests across diverse spatial scales. The Shennongjia region stands out globally for its exceptional biodiversity and the presence of rare endangered flora. Despite scholarly attention to the region's forest ecosystem, there remains a gap in detailed and high-resolution assessments of forest type patterns based on remote sensing data, especially following the official establishment of Shennongjia National Park in 2020. This study utilizes multi-resolution and multi-temporal remote sensing data to delineate forest types and distributions within the National Park in 2023. Through the integration of multi-temporal remote sensing data, the Google Earth Engine platform and machine learning techniques, our method achieved an overall accuracy of the six forest types at 86.1%, and the distribution patterns of various forest types generally conform to a natural-law accordance trend with increasing altitude in Shennongjia National Park. We hope that our research results can optimize the workflow for forest type classification, thereby furnishing basic data for national park management.

Published: November 2024

Abstract. A relevant approach to the renovation of a small town is to carefully integrate the existing cultural and historical heritage sites into the modern urban environment. For this purpose it is necessary to have digital duplicates of these objects. Photogrammetry is a relatively inexpensive and practically universal method of creating three-dimensional models of architectural objects and their measurement plans. The paper presents the results of modelling a historical architectural object using modern images and images obtained in different time periods. The modern images were obtained by a combination of drone and ground-based imagery of both exterior facades and interior spaces. The modern model and old drawings were used to find and reconstruct the interior elements lost during the building’s operation. Separate models of the lost elements were built from the archive images, and then these models were integrated into the overall model. The accuracy of the built digital model meets the requirements for the measurement drawings for the reconstruction project.

Published: November 2024

Abstract. The positioning capability of a rover is a critical factor that determines the efficiency of a planetary exploration missions. Most rovers primarily rely on visual odometry for trajectory estimation and relative pose determination. However, the distinctive characteristics of planetary environment, particularly limited visibility, can significantly compromise the accuracy of positioning. To address the limitations of visual localization techniques, this study introduces a novel LiDAR-Inertial SLAM framework integrating satellite Digital Elevation Model (DEM) data. A prior map is developed using DEM data through surface fitting after an offline process, followed by three online operational subparts: LiDAR odometry for estimate pose, 3D-Monte Carlo Localization (3D-MCL) adjust the estimate pose using the prior map, and graph optimization for final pose estimation. Experimental results indicate an average absolute trajectory error of approximately 0.6 meters, demonstrating the framework's effectiveness for long-distance navigation.

Published: November 2024

Abstract. Olivine is a mineral indicative of water activity in the mantle, and its presence can elucidate the petrological evolution and history of magmatic igneous rocks. In this work, we conducted a preliminary investigation into the characteristics and patterns of the spatial relationships between representative Martian mineral (i.e., olivine) and geomorphic features, aiming to provide geographical insights into the potential habitable environment of Mars. Specifically, an analytical framework is constructed to explore the spatial connection between hydrated minerals like olivine and topographic features regarding the relationship between environmental factors and mineral distributions. Furthermore, an analytical paradigm for responding to the spatial relationship is established. The spatial distribution pattern of olivine in Valles Marineris and Nili Fossae on Mars is depicted using kernel density analysis and bivariate spatial autocorrelation models. Based on this, the coupling relationship between olivine and environmental factors is constructed to quantify the strength of the link, and the interaction mechanism between olivine and geomorphological terrain is identified. The study results demonstrate that the distribution of olivine exhibits pronounced spatial clustering characteristics. Furthermore, the spatial distribution pattern of olivine and topographic features displays elevation differentiation characteristics. In the study region, topographic features dominate the spatial differentiation of olivine, specifically within the context of Valles Marineris. The spatial linkage strengths between the factors in the area vary considerably.

Published: November 2024

A un siglo de distancia, es posible valorar el pensamiento y esfuerzos de José Vasconcelos en educación y cultura como impulsores de un objetivo central de la Revolución mexicana: la integración de sus pobladores y de la nación misma. En efecto, la creación en 1923 de la Secretaría de Educación Pública, junto a la entrada en marcha del federalismo educativo, constituyó pilares del movimiento nacionalista con el que terminaba la lucha armada y se abría un nuevo orden social. Sabemos que se trató de una época de agitación e incertidumbre en la que los polvos de la guerra no terminaban de asentarse, y hubo que invertir mucho trabajo para construir un sentido de pertenencia a la nación, uno nuevo, mejor y duradero. La educación en todos los niveles y —según interesa en este trabajo— la terciaria en particular han aportado tanto los soportes como el rumbo para la nación. El reto es importante porque no se trata solamente de impulsar algunos sectores y desde ellos ganar crecimiento, sino de ejercer la equidad social como condición y resultado, como inversión y no gasto o concesión. El objetivo del presente capítulo es ofrecer elementos conceptuales para la lectura de los datos del financiamiento a las universidades públicas, desde el principio de equidad social. Aun tratándose de un ejercicio de fundamentación, esta se inscribe en su tiempo y recoge por ello términos y discusiones presentes en diversos campos: la educación, la economía, la política y la administración, principalmente. A tal propósito, el material está organizado en dos partes principales, cada una de ellas nuevamente compuesta por dos secciones. Bajo el tópico ‘equidad’, se revisan las nociones y mecanismos de federalización y autonomía universitaria que han producido un sistema educativo terciario público en México. Posteriormente, la parte ‘financiamiento’ se atiende desde los encuadres de la regulación y la gobernanza, en tanto dispositivos de planificación, asignación y luchas. El capítulo cierra con una discusión final, integradora, basada en la idea de ciudadanización de la educación, como tema presente en alguna literatura crítica del campo académico.

Published: November 2024

La bioética, la movilidad social y la movilidad educativa son conceptos que desempeñan un papel crucial en la configuración de la sociedad moderna. La bioética aborda cuestiones éticas relacionadas con la vida y la salud. Por lo tanto, aspectos como la movilidad social y la movilidad educativa son conceptos cruciales en el estudio de la sociedad contemporánea. La primera se refiere a la transición o cambio de un individuo o grupo de individuos de una posición a otra de diferente rango o posición en la jerarquía social, económica o cultural, mientras que la segunda se centra en el papel de la educación en este proceso. Ambos conceptos están estrechamente relacionados y se influyen mutuamente, ya que la educación relacionada con el ingreso económico desempeña un papel fundamental en la promoción de la movilidad social.

The study examined the nexus between working capital management and sustainability of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Bayelsa State. A quantitative design was adopted and the population of the study was 1256 SMEs and a sample of 303 SMEs was selected through a stratified sampling procedure. The data were collected through a structured questionnaire while content validity and Cronbach alpha was applied to determine the internal consistency of the measurement of the instruments. The data was analysed through structural equation modelling using a process-based approach of Smart PLS. The study found that account receivable management had a significant positive effect on financial sustainability of SMEs while cash management and inventory management had a positive but non-significant effect on the financial sustainability of SMEs in Bayelsa State. It was recommended that there should be a robust policy framework to promote effective receivable collection process and minimize bad debts. Further, managers should improve access to financing options for SMEs and facilitate cash inflows and inventory management. There should also be an integrative working capital management process to ensure financial sustainability of SMEs.

Nigeria has experienced various inter-religious conflicts that have obvious effects on peace. In Kwara State, for example, inter-religious conflict has surfaced as a major feature of inter-group relations. This paper examines the management of inter-religious conflict in Kwara State. Nigeria with the use of descriptive analysis. Conflict theory was employed as the basis of the study. The Kwara State Government applied various strategies in the management of inter-religious conflict, among them attempts to provide good governance and equitable development, litigation, use of police actions to prevent or quell emergent violence, establishment of inter-faith dialogue committees and partnership with traditional and religious institutions such as the Ilorin Emirate Council. Other government response strategies include court processes and the deployment of security forces. These have attracted considerable attention. In view of the situation on ground, the study advocates for some measures towards effective management of inter-religious conflicts in the state. These include the establishment of a committee comprising all representatives of social groups within the state. The committee should provide a forum for discussing and resolving communal issues instead of resorting to violence. Besides, it is further recommended research be carried out for an in-depth understanding of the causes and solutions to inter-religious conflicts in the state, where experts in conflict resolution would be used to curtail possible outbreak of conflicts, while increased attention is devoted to the prevention of social conflicts, the peaceful resolution of existing conflicts should be intensified through constant dialogue.
La autoconservación y la propiedad de uno mismo
Authors: Segovia Juan Fernando
Published: November 2024

El trabajo propone reconsiderar el fundamento de los derechos humanos a partir de las ideas modernas de la autoconservación y la propiedad de uno mismo. Para demostrar que la concepción moderna es radicalmente diferente de la tendencia clásica a la autoconservación, se comparan ambas en cuanto a los conceptos de movimiento y de finalidad o causa final. A tal fin, se recurre a cuatro intelectuales modernos decisivos: Hugo Grocio, Baruch Spinoza, Thomas Hobbes y John Locke.

This study aimed to identify trends in domestic research on organizational justice (OJ) in hospital nursing organizations and to explore specific strategies for hospital management to enhance OJ in the future. The databases searched included Research Information Service System (RISS), Korean studies Information Service System (KISS), DBpia, and National Assembly Library (Nanet). The search terms were 'nursing’ and 'justice' or ‘organizational justice’ in Korean, and the search period was from 2014 to 2023. A total of 27 papers were selected for analysis. Descriptive studies accounted for 96.3% of the research methods. The OJ measurement tools used were primarily those developed by Niehoff and Moorman (1993), Moorman (1991), and Price and Muller (1986). The levels of OJ in the three subareas-interactional, distribution, and procedural justice-ranged from 2.56 to 3.70, 2.40 to 3.46, and 2.50 to 3.67, respectively. OJ was found to positively affect job satisfaction, organizational commitment, intention to stay, organizational citizenship behavior, organizational socialization, trust, job embeddedness, and nursing performance. Conversely, a lack of OJ increased turnover intention, organizational silence, and workplace bullying. This study provides valuable data for generating new research ideas on OJ. It suggests the need for development of diverse research methods, the creation of a Korean-specific OJ measurement tool, and comparative studies on OJ at the group level. The findings are expected to contribute to improvements in human resource management and policy development within nursing organizations.
