O negro espírito do tempo
Authors: De Brito Machado Paula Máiran , Baiense Félix Carla
Published: May 2024

Neste artigo, escrito no curso de uma investigação mais ampla sobre a experiência midiático-política vivenciada pela parlamentar Renata Souza, em 2022, e sua equipe de redes, analisamos os processos e estratégias adotados por uma juventude preta e comunicadora de favela, no enfrentamento ao racismo e na construção de uma cidadania negra. A partir da observação participante, ao longo dois meses e meio de campanha, e referenciada nos conceitos de quilombismo (NASCIMENTO, 2019) e suspensão do cotidiano (HELLER, 2008), buscamos compreender, sob a perspectiva geracional (MANNHEIM, 1952), como esses jovens “raqueiam” (SILVA, 2022) as redes invertendo a lógica midiática hétero-cis-branco-patriarcal.

In this article, written in the course of a broader investigation into the media-political experience lived by parliamentarian Renata Souza, in 2022, and her network team, we analyze the processes and strategies adopted by a black youth and communicator from the favela, in the confronting racism and building black citizenship. From participant observation, over two and a half months of campaign, and referenced in the concepts of quilombism (NASCIMENTO, 2019) and suspension of everyday life (HELLER, 2008), we seek to understand, from a generational perspective (MANNHEIM, 1952), how these young people “crack” (SILVA, 2022) the networks, reversing the hetero-cis-white-patriarchal media logic.

A fungibilidade da interseccionalidade
Authors: Bilge Sirma
Published: May 2024

O que torna a interseccionalidade um recipiente vazio no qual estudiosos de todas as faixas podem projetar convenientemente suas próprias preocupações e se sentir completamente legitimados a fazê-lo? O que autoriza o fácil afastamento das feministas negras de sua inovação teórica, a interseccionalidade? Com estas perguntas polêmicas, o artigo envolve uma constelação de conceitos tipicamente ligados ao afropessimismo (fungibilidade negra, alienação natal, pós-vida da escravidão) para propor respostas exploratórias. Apesar da falta de fortes afinidades entre essas duas vertentes da teorização negra, interseccionalidade e afropessimismo, esta última fornece uma lente interpretativa útil para iluminar a reforma feminista pós-negra da primeira na academia contemporânea. Trazendo evidências da fungibilidade dos corpos e saberes das mulheres negras dentro das atuais relações acadêmicas com a interseccionalidade, esta investigação também convida todos os estudiosos engajados na interseccionalidade a construir uma frente defensiva contra o extrativismo acadêmico violento que se desdobra através do afastamento das mulheres negras e do feminismo negro da interseccionalidade.

WITCHCRAFT, WITCHES, AND VIOLENCE IN GHANA
Authors: Adinkrah Mensah
Published: May 2024

Witchcraft violence is a feature of many contemporary African societies. In Ghana, belief in witchcraft and the malignant activities of putative witches is prevalent. Purported witches are blamed for all manner of adversities including inexplicable illnesses and untimely deaths. As in other historical periods and other societies, in contemporary Ghana, alleged witches are typically female, elderly, poor, and marginalized. Childhood socialization in homes and schools, exposure to mass media, and other institutional mechanisms ensure that witchcraft beliefs are transmitted across generations and entrenched over time. This book provides a detailed account of Ghanaian witchcraft beliefs and practices and their role in fueling violent attacks on alleged witches by aggrieved individuals and vigilante groups.
AT HOME IN THE OKAVANGO
Authors: Gressier Catie
Published: May 2024

An ethnographic portrayal of the lives of white citizens of the Okavango Delta, Botswana, this book examines their relationships with the natural and social environments of the region. In response to the insecurity of their position as a European-descended minority in a postcolonial African state, Gressier argues that white Batswana have developed cultural values and practices that have allowed them to attain high levels of belonging. Adventure is common for this frontier community, and the book follows their safari lifestyles as they construct and perform localized identities in their interactions with dangerous wildlife, the broader African community, and the global elite via their work in the nature-tourism industry.
IN THE ABSENCE OF THE GIFT
Authors: Rasmussen Anders Emil
Published: May 2024

By adopting ideas like “development,” members of a Papua New Guinean community find themselves continuously negotiating what can be expected of a relative or a community member. Nearly half the people born on the remote Mbuke Islands become teachers, businessmen, or bureaucrats in urban centers, while those who stay at home ask migrant relatives “What about me?” This detailed ethnography sheds light on remittance motivations and documents how terms like “community” can be useful in places otherwise permeated by kinship. As the state withdraws, Mbuke people explore what social ends might be reached through involvement with the cash economy.
THE ANATOMY OF MURDER
Authors: Hildebrandt Sabine
Published: May 2024

Of the many medical specializations to transform themselves during the rise of National Socialism, anatomy has received relatively little attention from historians. While politics and racial laws drove many anatomists from the profession, most who remained joined the Nazi party, and some helped to develop the scientific basis for its racialist dogma. As historian and anatomist Sabine Hildebrandt reveals, however, their complicity with the Nazi state went beyond the merely ideological. They progressed through gradual stages of ethical transgression, turning increasingly to victims of the regime for body procurement, as the traditional model of working with bodies of the deceased gave way, in some cases, to a new paradigm of experimentation with the “future dead.”
RATIONED LIFE
Authors: Kučera Rudolf
Published: May 2024

Far from the battlefront, hundreds of thousands of workers toiled in Bohemian factories over the course of World War I, and their lives were inescapably shaped by the conflict. In particular, they faced new and dramatic forms of material hardship that strained social ties and placed in sharp relief the most mundane aspects of daily life, such as when, what, and with whom to eat. This study reconstructs the experience of the Bohemian working class during the Great War through explorations of four basic spheres—food, labor, gender, and protest—that comprise a fascinating case study in early twentieth-century social history.
BEING AND BECOMING
Authors: Elkholy Ramsey
Published: May 2024

For the Orang Rimba of Sumatra – and tropical foragers in general – life in the forest engenders a kind of “connectedness” that is contingent not only on harmonious relations between people, but also between people and the non-human environment, including those supernatural agencies of the forest that people depend on for their spiritual and emotional wellbeing. Exploring this world, anthropologist Ramsey Elkholy treats embodied action and perception as the basis of shared experience and shows how various forms of embodied experience constitute the very foundations of human culture. In a unique methodological contribution, Elkholy adopts a set of body-centered approaches that reflect and capture the day-to-day, moment-to-moment ways in which people engage with the world. Being and Becoming is an important contribution to phenomenological anthropology, hunter-gatherer studies, and to Southeast Asian ethnography more generally.
Fiscal Federalism: An Analysis of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa's Share in the National Resources in the Post-18th Amendment Period
Authors: nil Hansa
Published: May 2024

Decentralization of power and distribution of resources has remained a contentious issue between the Federal government and provincial governments in Pakistan. The 7th NFC award and 18th amendment to the constitution have further strengthened the federalist structure in Pakistan by adopting multiple criteria and ensuring provincial autonomy respectively. The Constitution of 1973 provided a well-structured mechanism for fair and just distribution of resources and inter-governmental harmony in the form of NFC and CCI and offered solutions to the contentious issue of distribution of power. Khyber Pakhtunkhwa is blessed with abundant natural resources in the form of water resources, crude oil production, natural gas and LPG and making extensive contributions to the energy sector of Pakistan. Although the constitution of Pakistan, in theory, is clear regarding revenue distribution the cleavages in its practical implementation in the context of the fiscal relationship between the federal government and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa are creating hurdles in their smooth relation.
Oil and Geopolitics in the Middle East: An Analysis
Authors: Munir Sahibzada Adil
Published: May 2024

This paper revolves around the history of oil and geopolitics with a brief context of how oil has played its role in the Industrial Revolution. The study of major oil-producing states of the Middle East, its significance, and the study of oil and politics in the international system. After reading this paper there would be a brief awareness of how oil-producing states are influenced. Historically, the discovery of oil in the Middle East has transformed the geopolitical dynamics of the region, attracting the interest of major global powers. The establishment of oil-producing states has led to both cooperation and competition among nations, with oil serving as a geopolitical tool that influences alliances, conflicts, and foreign policies. Additionally, the region's reliance on oil revenues has shaped domestic politics, contributing to the rise of authoritarian regimes and political instability.

The current study was to look into the molecular characterisation and biofilm development of MRSA in patients who visited the Khyber Teaching Hospital, Hayatabad Medical Complex, and Lady Reading Hospital in Peshawar. Antibiotic susceptibility tests identify Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in confirmed isolates of S. aureus. PCR was used to identify a gene, which proved that the MRSA isolates were real. HA- and CA-MRSA were distinguished by SCC mec typing. The microtiter plate assay was employed to look for signs of biofilm formation. 133 (82.60%) of the 161 samples that were positive for S. aureus. Of them, 32 (19.87%) had MSSA isolates, 28 (17.39%) were culture-negative, and 101 (62.73%) were determined to carry MRSA. To confirm all positive isolates one more time, Mec A gene analysis was performed. Twenty-one (20.79%) of the eighty (79.20%) confirmed isolates were classified as undistinguishable MRSA isolates, twenty-six (32.5%) as HA-MRSA isolates, and fifty-five (67.5%) as CA-MRSA isolates.

Bamboo as a natural resource must be utilized as well as possible and its existence is maintained so that it does not run out. Bamboo products actually have a high aesthetic value. If bamboo is transformed into a beautiful craft, it will add high economic value and is a bright industrial prospect. In addition, bamboo material does not damage the environment, so it helps to protect nature and reduce theoccurrence of Global Warning. Consumers will be more observant in choosingenvironmentally friendly products. The existence of Bamboo Craftsmen in PehkulonVillage grows slowly and their products are considered unattractive in thecommunity. This is because many craftsmen have switched professions, besides thelack of production tools owned by bamboo craftsmen. So far, craftsmen makebamboo crafts using only very simple tools, namely knives and machetes. Besidesthat, craftsmen do not understand management science, such as financialmanagement, production management, marketing management, accounting andhave never received entrepreneurship coaching and training. Prior to communityservice activities, the products produced by the bamboo craft business group wereo nly bamboo fences and woven bamboo. After carrying out community service activities, now the bamboo craftsman business group has been able to make various product diversification and innovations such as: bamboo decorative lights, bamboo lap top cases, bamboo keyboards, bamboo mice, bamboo furniture, bamboo fountains, bamboo decorations, etc. With mentoring, training, discussion and participatory activities, bamboo craft business groups can produce varied products and innovations so that they can compete and increase people's income

BACKGROUND:

Tumor lysis syndrome (TLS) is an oncological emergency associated with hematological malignancies or highly proliferative solid tumors, commonly after chemotherapy. It is rarely associated with transient abnormal myelopoiesis.

OBSERVATION:

We report a rare case of a neonate with transient abnormal myelopoiesis and tumor lysis syndrome, complicated with concomitant heart failure due to an underlying atrioventricular septal defect. Hyperhydration was contraindicated due to heart failure. The patient was managed conservatively with full recovery.

CONCLUSION:

Tumor lysis syndrome should be suspected in neonates with transient abnormal myelopoiesis with electrolyte abnormalities. Treatment options should be considered carefully for their risks and benefits.
On-Line Monitoring of Minor Oil Spills in Seawater Using Sediment Microbial Fuel Cells: A Preliminary Study
Authors: Chambers Jermaine , Gomez Kaia , Gustave Williamson
Published: May 2024

In recent years microbial fuel cells have been studied for their biosensing properties. Consequently, sediment microbial fuel cells (sMFCs) have been found to be able to detect minor oil spills in freshwater. However, it was previously unknown whether sMFC properties as a biosensor would be able to produce the same results in a saltwater environment. Therefore, sMFCs at various external resistances (220 Ω, 300 Ω, 430 Ω, 510 Ω, 1000 Ω and 2000 Ω) were assembled to assess their ability to detect oil in seawater. The results indicated that an ER of 1k Ω is optimal for sMFC power generation, and that as oil was added to the cathode of the sMFCs, there was a clear and gradual decrease in the voltage output due to the oil’s interference with oxygen dissolvability in seawater; However, the relationship between the change in voltage and change in time was less linear than the change observed in previous studies, and inconsistent across the different voltages. The variation observed may be due to the absence of a catalyst, such as platinum, which would have sped up the rate of the decrease in voltage. This study illustrates that sMFCs provide a cost effective and environmentally friendly method to detect minor oil spills in seawater.
Domestic Lawfare in South America
Authors: Petruska Ferenc
Published: May 2024

Domestic lawfare, using legal measures or their potential utilisation as strategic tools in political or ideological disputes within a nation, is a prevalent phenomenon in South America. Such measures may include lawsuits, investigations, and other legal mechanisms aimed at eradicating, intimidating, penalising, or undermining rivals to achieve specific political or policy objectives. This practice can be identified as domestic lawfare by prioritising legal technicalities over substantive matters. Its impact is of particular concern, as it is employed to suppress dissenting voices and curtail essential liberties, such as freedom of speech. This article sheds light on the significant challenge that constitutional democracies in South America currently face due to the rise of lawfare. This does not mean that it is an exclusively South American phenomenon. Influential individuals or entities around the world equipped with ample resources, financial means, influence, or political clout could deploy these assets to target individuals or organisations they perceive as threats to their interests. By examining the potential legal ramifications that may arise from rigid adherence to legal requirements, this study aims to underscore the crucial importance of legal protection as a topic requiring meticulous deliberation. Lawfare presents formidable challenges in theory and practice, making it essential to comprehend its implications fully. Understanding and addressing this issue can safeguard democratic values and protect fundamental rights.
The Israeli Way of War:
Authors: Csepregi Zsolt
Published: May 2024

The study demonstrates the difference between contemporary Israeli military and national security operations under the ‘Campaign between Wars’ framework and the way Israel would wage a ‘war for existence’. The paper first outlines Israeli military strategy and theory regarding an existential war, while aiming to show how Israel would use its military capabilities. The paper explains the most plausible scenario of a war between Israel and a peer competitor, namely Iran and its proxy network, and the question of using nuclear weapons. Finally, the study presents the potential effects of such war on Israel, its enemies and the region. The paper argues that the most important aspect of Israeli conventional and nuclear warfighting capabilities is that they provide such a robust deterrent that they make war extremely unlikely. However, Israeli deterrence is based on the firm belief that the preparation for the war for existence is the most significant national goal, thereby establishing Israel as a linchpin to the regional balance of power, as a regional great military power itself is incapable of becoming a regional hegemon while assertively balancing against any such contender.

Physical Properties of Polymer Concrete Utilizing Pahae Natural Zeolite, Corn Husk Fiber, and Polyurethane Resin Adhesives
Authors: Maghfirah Awan , Zega Adelina Febriyanti
Published: May 2024

This study aimed to determine the optimum composition in the manufacture of polymer concrete using Pahae natural zeolite, corn husk fiber, and polyurethane resin adhesives. This study used the hot-press method at 170℃ for 30 minutes. The compositions of zeolite and corn husk fiber tested were varied under three different additions of polyurethane resin of 15 g, 20 g, and 25 g, while the composition of sand was fixed at 60 g. The inclusion of corn husk fiber content reduces the density of the concrete and increases the porosity and water absorption. The physical properties analysis showed that the polymer concrete samples showed the highest density was 1.89 g/cm3 from 20 g of polyurethane resin and no addition of corn husk fiber; the highest porosity was 6.15% from 15 g of polyurethane resin and 10 g of corn husk fiber; and the highest water absorption was 5.85% from 15 g of polyurethane resin and 10 g of corn husk fiber. Because improved material quality and durability are linked to reduced water absorption rates in polymer concrete, the most favorable composition with minimal water absorption (0.51%) came from the sample utilizing 20 grams of polyurethane resin without incorporating corn husk fiber.

Authors: Frida Erna , Pratyka Venna
Published: May 2024

Composite board has been made with corn husk fiber (CHF), water hyacinth fiber, and wood sawdust using epoxy resin as an adhesive. The composition of each fiberwas varied, and physical tests (density, porosity, water absorption, and thickness expansion) and mechanical tests (modulus of elasticity (MOE), modulus of rupture (MOR), and compressive strength) were carried out, and microstructure was analyzed using SEM-EDX. The results of testing the physical and mechanicalproperties with optimum results were density of 1.03 g/cm3, porosity of 10.48%, water absorption capacity of 10.22%, thickness expansion of 2.91%, MOR 256.05kgf/cm2, MOE 228 kgf/cm2 and compressive strength of 3.19 MPa. The results showed that the physical (porosity, absorption, and thickness expansion) and mechanical (MOR and compressive strength) tests met the standards of SNI 03-2105-2006, while the MOE test did not meet the standards. For density testing, it complies with SNI 01-4449-2006 standards. The composite board can be used as a substitute for wood for furniture materials.

A 40 WP solar panel with a time-tracking mechanism was used to monitor the sun's movement from morning to evening, while a static 40 WP ground-fixed solar panel was also studied for comparison.The study also included the energy consumption of a 12 V DC motor responsible for orienting the tracking panel to face the sun. Throughout the day, the tracking panel's position was continuously adjusted to align with the sun's position, facilitated by a microcontroller and a gyroscope. The energy consumed by the motor during the tracking process was accounted for. The net energy output of the tracking panel was computed by subtracting the energy expended in tracking from the total energy collected. Following the experimentation, the collected data was analyzed to determine the energy efficiency of the tracking panel in contrast to the ground-fixed panel. The findings revealed that the tracking panel exhibited a 15 percent increase in energy efficiency compared to the ground-fixed panel. These results emphasize the potential benefits of solar tracking technology in optimizing energy capture from solar panels. The implications of these findings are valuable for advancing the design and implementation of solar energy systems, offering increased efficiency and sustainability.

In this investigation, Fe3O4/Silica composites were synthesized from rice husk ash utilizing the coprecipitation technique, aiming to elucidate the influence of variedheating temperatures on the surface morphology and elemental composition of the composites. Comprehensive characterizations were conducted employing FourierTransform Infrared (FTIR) Spectroscopy, X-ray Diffraction (XRD), and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). These analyses unveiled a heterogeneous distributionof Fe3O4 nanoparticles and affirmed the amorphous characteristic of the silica constituent, with the XRD results prominently displaying a broad peak at approximately 2θ = 38°, signifying the amorphous nature. Despite the alterations in heating temperatures, SEM observations indicated a negligible effect on the nanoparticles' surface morphology, whereas notable variations were discerned intheir elemental composition. The outcomes of this study provide insightful contributions to the understanding of the structural properties of Fe3O4/Silica composites, suggesting avenues for refining synthesis methodologies for enhanced environmental and technological utilization.

Published: May 2024

Il "Contratto di Area Umida per la Laguna Nord di Venezia", parte del progetto Interreg CREW, è uno strumento di governance che, svoltosi in piena epoca pandemica, ha sperimentato la necessità di innovare un approccio alla partecipazione tradizionalmente legato ad attività svolte in presenza. Il paper propone di leggere l'esperienza di coinvolgimento da remoto degli attori locali nel processo di formazione del Contratto, e prova a confrontarlo con le pratiche di attivazione dei Living e Policy Lab sempre più presenti nelle esperienze dei progetti sostenuti da fondi europei. La lettura analizza le innovazioni come parte del processo di co-creazione materiale e politica che prevede la partecipazione di comunità diverse alla discussione di problemi sociali e territoriali complessi, in particolare riflettendo sui valori attribuiti ai territori in trasformazione, specie quando essi sono sottoposti a pressioni antropiche e naturali che ne mettono a repentaglio il ruolo ecosistemico.
«Normality was the problem!» Femminismi e Commoning nella riproduzione sociale della città
Authors: Ragozino Stefania , Esposito De Vita Gabriella , Oppido Stefania
Published: May 2024

The research is part of the intense relationship between feminisms and commoning, with the general aim of reflecting on the real and potential role of women in the experiences of mutualism that nourish forms of collective life and paths of re-appropriation of spaces, practices and rights in urban scenarios. A gendered vision is consistent with the theoretical foundations of commoning, a phenomenon perceived as an alternative to individualism and capitalist isolation, insofar as it is capable of giving voice to a new debate on a fairer and more effective management of resources and spaces. Through a critical reading of the literature on social reproduction, a vision of common reproduction is proposed with the ultimate aim of contributing to the debate on the need to generate new theories and urban models more consistent with current social challenges.
