Identification and Validation of Immune-Related Genes and Immune Cell Infiltration in Preeclampsia
Authors: Chen Rongxin , Han Qing , Zhang Huale , Yan Jianying
Published: December 2021

Background
Preeclampsia (PE) is a complex multisystem disease and its etiology remains unclear. The aim of this study was to identify potential immune-related diagnostic genes for PE, analyze the role of immune cell infiltration in PE, and explore the mechanism underlying PE-induced disruption of immune tolerance at the maternal-fetal interface.
Methods
We used the PE dataset GES25906 from Gene Expression Omnibus and immune-related genes from ImmPort database. The differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified using the “limma” package, and the differentially expressed immune-related genes (DEIGs) were extracted from the DEGs and immune-related genes using Venn diagrams. The potential functions of DEIGs were determined by Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes analyses. Furthermore, the protein–protein interaction network was obtained from the STRING database, and it was visualized using Cytoscape software. Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator logistic regression was used to verify the diagnostic markers of PE and build a predicting model. The model was validated using datasets GSE66273 and GSE75010. Finally, CIBERSORT was used to evaluate the infiltration of immune cells in PE tissues.
Results
Six genes (ACTG1, ENG, IFNGR1, ITGB2, NOD1, and SPP1) enriched in Th17 cell differentiation, cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction, innate immune response, and positive regulation of MAPK cascade pathways were identified, and a predicting model was built. Datasets GSE66273 and GSE75010 were used to validate the model, and the area under the curve was 0.8333 and 0.8107, respectively. Immune cell infiltration analysis revealed an increase in plasma cells and gamma delta T cells and a decrease in resting natural killer cells in the high score group according to the predictive model risk values.
Conclusions
We developed a risk model to predict PE and proved that immune imbalance at the maternal-fetal interface plays a key role in the pathogenesis of PE.

Published: December 2021

Background: Breast cancer remains one of most lethal illnesses for female and the most common malignancies among women, making it important to discover novel biomarkers and therapeutic targets for breast cancer. Immunotherapy has become a promising therapeutic tool for breast cancer. The role of TRIM8 in breast cancer has rarely been reported. Method: Here we identified TRIM8 expression and its potential functions on survival in patients with breast cancer using TCGA (The cancer genome atlas), GEO (Gene expression omnibus) database and METABRIC (Molecular Taxonomy of Breast Cancer International Consortium). Then, TIMER and TISIDB databases were used to investigate the correlations between TRIM8 mRNA levels and immune characteristics. Using stepwise cox regression, we established an immune prognostic signature based on five differentially expression immune-related genes (DE-IRGs). Finally, a nomogram, accompanied by a calibration curve was proposed to predict 1-, 3-, and 5-year survival for breast cancer patients. Results: We found that TRIM8 expression was dramatically lower in breast cancer tissues in comparison with normal tissues. Lower TRIM8 expression was related with worse prognosis in breast cancer. TIMER and TISIDB analysis showed that there were strong correlations between TRIM8 expression and immune characteristics. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve confirmed the good performance in survival prediction, showing good accuracy of the immune prognostic signature. We demonstrated the model usefulness of predictions by nomogram and calibration curves. Our findings indicated that TRIM8 might be a potential link between progression and prognosis survival of breast cancer.Conclusion: This is a comprehensive study to reveal that TRIM8 may serve as a potential prognostic biomarker associating with immune characteristics and provide a novel therapeutic target for the treatment of breast cancer.

The world’s ecosystems are undergoing unprecedented changes due to the impact of climate change and local human activities. A major concern is the possibility of tipping points where ecosystems and landscapes change abruptly to undesirable states. We consider what happens to the timing of tipping points when current stresses strengthen whilst systems experience additional stresses and/or extreme events. We run experiments on four mathematical models that simulate tipping points in lake water quality, the Easter Island community, the Chilika lagoon fishery, and forest dieback. We show that the strongest impacts occur under increasing levels of primary stress, but additional and more extreme stresses in all four models bring the tipping points significantly closer to today. Translating the results to the real world underlines the need for humanity to reduce damaging disturbances and global warming, and to be vigilant for signs that natural systems are degrading more rapidly than previously thought.

Herbaspirillum seropedicae is a plant growth-promoting bacteria isolated from diverse plant species. In this work, the main objective was to investigate the efficiency of H. seropedicae strain SmR1 in colonizing and increasing maize growth in the early stages of development under greenhouse conditions. Inoculation with H. seropedicae resulted in 10.51 and 19.43% in mean of increase of root biomass concerning non-inoculated controls, mainly in the initial stages of plant development, at 21 days after emergence (DAE). Quantification of H. seropedicae in roots and leaves was performed by quantitative PCR.. H. seropedicae was detected only in maize inoculated roots by qPCR, and a slight decrease in DNA copy number g−1 of fresh root weight was observed from 7 to 21 DAE, suggesting that there was initial effective colonization on maize plants. H. seropedicae strain SmR1 efficiently increased maize root biomass exhibiting its potencial to be used as inoculant in agricultures systems.

The objective of this study is to report the use of a non-invasive sensor to assess intracranial compliance (ICC) in patients complaining of migraine. This case report presents a 34-year-old, female patient that was treated for idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) by placing a non-adjustable lumboperitoneal shunt. After one year, she presented with headache and signs of overdrainage. Non-invasive monitoring of ICC was done, suggesting a reduction in the ICC, but no change in the opening pressure of the valve. A diagnosis of migraine was made, with improvement after brain monitoring, leading treatment without any new surgical intervention. With this case, we conclude that the use of non-invasive sensor helped the medical team to understand the information obtained by the ICP curve in the office, and in the management of patients with headache complaints, supporting clinical decision making, improving the quality of care, correlated with underlying diseases and procedural and patient safety.

Published: December 2021

We used a phylogenetic framework to examine the relationship between entomopathogenic nematode (EPN) vertical dispersal and infectivity when EPNs are exposed to a mixture of compounds found in late-stage EPN-infected insect cadavers. EPNs from five phylogenetically close and distant species (Heterorhabditis bacteriophora, H. georgiana, H. megidis, H. indica and Steinernema feltiae) were exposed to cadaver macerate produced by their own species’ infection and by H. bacteriophora infected hosts. We found that only three of the five species (H. bacteriophora, H. indica and S. feltiae) responded to exposure to their own macerate by increasing rates of dispersal. When we exposed all five species to a H. bacteriophora infected host macerate, we found that only H. bacteriophora responded by increasing dispersal, and that the most distantly related species (S. feltiae) essentially halted dispersal. These findings suggest that (1) responses to cadaver macerate vary, and (2) there may be a relationship between inherent dispersal rates and sensitivity to macerate exposure, as the most rapidly dispersing species (H. megidis) showed no response to macerate exposure.

Diabetes constitute a serious challenge for many health system and families due to the cost of its care. Alternatively, traditional plants offer a huge potential for health care. Thus, many plants have been used in form beverage including the use of Hibiscus sabdarifa (HS) as tea. Recent data suggested the beneficial effect of HS cardiometabolic diseases models. In this study, we evaluated the preventive and curative effects of crude extract of HS in a type 2 diabetes rat model. Through in vitro complexion and/ or precipitation reactions, we qualitatively assessed the phytochemical composition of the crude extract of HS for different groups of secondary metabolites. The antiradical scavenging activity was assessed through hydroxyl radical test. Type 2 diabetes was induced by high fat diet (HFD) and single dose streptozotocine (STZ) injection. Body weight change and blood biochemical analysis were carried out. Data were statistically analyzed. HS contains different phytochemical polyphenolic compounds such as tanins and flavonoids and presented an interesting antiradical scavenging activity. Early intake from experimental day (ED1) of crude extract of HS significantly prevented gain in body weight (P < 0.05), reduced T2D induced elevated glucose (P < 0.01) and lipids (P < 0.01) and has better outcome as compared to late intake (from ED14). These findings confirm and supports the use of HS as tea and may offer protective effect to consumers by regulating blood sugar and lipid profile.

Education helps a child to develop personally, socially as well as economically in future. Proper care and support given to children helps in the personality development which means the set of qualities which makes a person distinct from the other. It is a fact that all the problems and needs cant be solved and satisfied always. Even then, everyone will try to attain the goals through realising various needs and overcoming the problems to an extent. It is in this context, education helps one to acquire new skills and wisdom to overcome the challenges they face. But children may not be able to tackle all the barriers that come across them during the flow of their life. In the present study the investigator identifies the vocational needs of child in need of care and protection. As the inmates of childrens homes are dejected by the society, the investigator tries to identify their needs especially vocational need as it would help the teachers and the officials to support these children to have a goal in their future to have a successful life.
Effect of celebrity endorsers’ attributes on purchase intentions in South Africa
Authors: Vincent Molelekeng Boitumelo , Bongazana Dondolo Hilda
Published: December 2021

Celebrity endorsement is the most used strategy since consumers value celebrities in advertisements. Organizations invest in celebrity endorsements in the expectation that they will enhance consumer perception of a product or service, evoke favorable attitudes toward a brand, influence purchase intentions, and eventually increase sales and profits through increased consumer preference for a product, brand, or service. This paper examines the effect of endorser characteristics on purchasing intentions in South Africa. The survey sampled South Africans residing in Gauteng Province. The Qualtrics questionnaire was completed by 145 respondents ranging in age from 18 to 55 and living in various areas of Gauteng Province. Given the research objective, the paper analyzed only responses from participants who stated that they had been exposed to celebrity-related adverts. The findings show that these respondents saw advertisements featuring celebrities. To evaluate the hypotheses, regression analysis was performed. The results reveal that consumer behavior, such as purchase intention, is influenced by attractiveness (β = .271; p < 0.05) and attitudes (β = .520; p < 0.05). However, in this study, expertise (β = .089; p > 0.05) and trustworthiness (β = –.095; p > 0.05) were not related to purchase intentions. Understanding celebrity endorser’s attributes can help organizations determine the most successful marketing strategies for attracting new customers and maintaining existing ones.
Financial sustainability of a Ukrainian university due to the COVID-19 pandemic: A calculative approach

Published: December 2021

In 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, university funding in Ukraine suffered significant losses due to unprecedented quarantine measures. The challenge for universities is to diversify funding sources, develop effective approaches to minimize existing and prevent future threats to ensure their financial stabilization (sustainability) in the post-pandemic period. The paper aims to consider financial sustainability of a university (the case of Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv) due to COVID-19 using the objective calculative approach on the statistical sample of data for 2011–2020. The tasks for achieving the aim are seen in determining, using regression methods, the number of lost receipts from general and special funds in the short and medium term, which will maintain a constant value of receipts at constant assets. The main idea of the paper is that financial sustainability is considered as a condition, and stabilization is considered as a process towards stability/sustainability. The modeling approach reveals a fragile list of factors for the future preventing measures of the University to sustain. It is estimated that the University’s top management should consider financial strategy in dollar terms only. The challenge is that funding in hryvnia seems to be quite increasing and linear, but indeed, funding of the University is non-linear and has a quite intensive downward trend. Thus, for the financial sustainability strategy, this fact should be crucial.The results indicate the need for a significant increase in university funding to mitigate the impact of macroeconomic instability due to various crises, including the COVID-19 pandemic.

Published: December 2021

Thermal therapeutic pools in most countries are operated in a manner similar to swimming pools: with water circulation, filtration and disinfection. However, in some countries, including Hungary, therapeutic pools are traditionally not treated this way, in order to preserve the therapeutic qualities of the water. However, dilution and frequent water replacement applied in these pools are often insufficient to ensure adequate microbial water quality, posing a risk of infection to the bathers. In the present case study, the impact of water treatment (including chemical disinfection by hypochlorite or hydrogen peroxide) was investigated on the therapeutic components of the water in seven Hungarian spas of various water composition. Microbial quality was improved by both disinfectants, but hypochlorite reduced the concentration of the therapeutic components sulfide, bromide, and iodide ions by 40–99%, and high levels of disinfection by-products were observed. Hydrogen peroxide only affected sulfide ion (91% reduction). Other technological steps (e.g., transport or cooling by dilution) were found to have significant impact on composition, often outweighing the effect of disinfection. The current case study demonstrated that thermal waters may be treated and disinfected with minimal loss of the therapeutic compounds, if an adequate treatment procedure is selected based on the water composition.
El atleta y la salud: Una reflexión en torno a la corporeidad
Authors: Castro Uribe Nicolas , Rojas Juan Felipe , Cárdenas Juan Esteban , Casallas Morales Nicolas
Published: December 2021

Dentro de la coyuntura actual, los arquetipos corporales referentes a la salud y la enfermedad se han construido con base en las disposiciones y los discursos resueltos desde la ciencia biomédica. A partir de esta premisa, el texto reflexiona en torno a la forma que se concibe el cuerpo en el deporte desde las distintas fuerzas sociales, políticas y económicas que lo atraviesan. Así mismo, describe la forma en que las instituciones biomédicas terminan por reproducir las disposiciones instrumentales y mecanicistas de los deportistas, a costa del influjo de intereses económicos que se concentran sobre estos cuerpos deshumanizados. Concluyendo que la deshumanización del deportista está motivada por intereses económicos y resulta en la instrumentalización del cuerpo del atleta por medio de las prácticas biomédicas y las medicinas alternativas.
Fronteiras da memória, identidades imaginadas

Published: December 2021

O objetivo deste artigo é analisar questões pertinentes a cultura da região fronteiriça da Carélia desde o século XIV, bem como assim lançar considerações sobre o processo de emancipação da Finlândia e seu processo de formação do ideário nacionalista no século XIX. A partir das considerações de Pentikäinen (1989), realizo uma análise sobre questões pertinentes sobre a cultura balto-fínica e sua influência na região da Carélia, esta que foi desde o século XIV dividida entre Finlandeses e Russos e acabou sendo o principal local de coleta de poemas e cânticos populares pelo etnógrafo Elias Lönnrot, dentro de um movimento de redescoberta da cultura popular, termo usado aqui a partir de Peter Burke (2010). Podemos perceber também a necessidade de ampliar o debate sobre história, literatura e nacionalismo com ressonâncias culturais, e neste caso específico a história carélia e finlandesa, algo pouquíssimo estudado na academia brasileira.

O presente artigo, que tem como temática imaginário toponímico e espacialidades norte-rio-grandenses, objetiva analisar os interesses e o imaginário que caracterizaram o processo nominativo e legitimador da organização familiar Albuquerque Maranhão entre os anos de 1892 e 1913. Para a construção de nosso objeto examinamos leis e decretos estaduais; resoluções municipais; artigos de jornais; a cartografia e a historiografia local afeitas a este imaginário toponímico em específico. O exame das fontes foi conduzido por um aporte teórico-metodológico baseado na história do imaginário político através de Cornelius Castoriadis e Maria Dick. As análises desenvolvidas sobre as práticas (de)nominativas ajudaram a compreender como a organização familiar Albuquerque Maranhão fez uso do poder político que deteve ao longo de mais de vinte anos para perpetuar-se na memória da espacialidade do Rio Grande do Norte.

Este artigo investiga a trajetória de Bento Ferreira Mouzinho nas estruturas administrativas locais da Capitania do Rio Grande, onde se radicou de 1715 a 1745, constituiu família e exerceu diversos ofícios, dentre os quais o de escrivão da Câmara do Natal. Bento Ferreira, imbuído da lógica da cultura política do Antigo Regime, conseguiria angariar bens materiais e simbólicos, ascendendo na escala hierárquica social. Mormente, o trajeto desse agente constitui-se emblemático pelos inúmeros problemas estruturais que aponta, como os limites do mando institucional, as mercês, as redes clientelares, dimensão familiar, a cultura política, enfim, a própria natureza do poder da Coroa, ora inclinando-se a centralização, ora ao autogoverno nas conquistas.

Neste artigo relacionamos história, literatura e espaço a fim de explorar alguns aspectos da obra do escritor paraibano Ariano Suassuna. A dinâmica espacial de sua vida marcou significativamente a sua produção literária bem como sua visão de mundo e cultura. É neste sentido que para ele Taperoá, pequeno município do interior da Paraíba, desponta como uma espécie de capital literária, uma metáfora de pertencimento ao sertão e por isso mesmo uma ambientação recorrente nas histórias que escreveu. Desse modo, buscamos entender como as interações entre o urbano e o rural se relacionam com um conceito de sertão a partir da literatura.

PLANO DE DESENVOLVIMENTO REGIONAL BR-163 SUSTENTÁVEL
Authors: Pastre Rafael
Published: December 2021

Este trabalho tem como objetivo avaliar os impactos da implantação das ações estratégicas do Plano de Desenvolvimento Regional Sustentável para a Área de Influência da Rodovia BR-163 (Plano BR-163 Sustentável), particularmente naquilo que se refere à infraestrutura de transportes e logística. O Objetivo do Plano BR-163 Sustentável nesse eixo de atuação seria de mitigar os efeitos adversos da implantação das obras de infraestrutura voltadas para o escoamento da safra de grãos do Centro-Oeste para os portos do Arco Norte, passando por áreas de floresta preservada, reservas indígenas e zonas de conflitos fundiários entre garimpeiros, madeireiros, agricultores capitalistas e comunidades tradicionais. Para avaliar o sucesso dessas ações, foram selecionadas as obras previstas, verificados os estágios de execução, os impactos diretos sobre a movimentação de cargas e os indiretos, sobre as populações e o meio ambiento, através da análise das transformações no uso solo rural e urbano. Verificou-se que apesar do Plano BR-163 Sustentável apresentar em sua concepção um conjunto coerente de medidas, incluindo as relacionadas à infraestrutura, foi sufocado pela escassez de recursos públicos para investimento, falta de fiscalização e de controle Institucional. A maior parte dos recursos foi transferida aos capitais privados, assentados sobre os financiamentos subsidiados do BNDES e com isso a infraestrutura, ao invés de modificar o sentido do escoamento da safra de grãos do Centro-Oeste, em especial a do Mato Grosso, com aumentos de rentabilidade para os produtores, contribuiu para que a fronteira agrícola se expandisse para as áreas de floresta de Rondônia, Pará e Roraima.
O FENÔMENO DA ZONA DE PROCESSAMENTO DE EXPORTAÇÃO NO RIO GRANDE DO NORTE

Published: December 2021

Analisa a real contribuição das Zonas de Processamento de Exportações (ZPEs), no mundo, no Brasil e, em particular, no Rio Grande do Norte no que tange a integração econômica de diferentes áreas produtivas e a dinamização de seus processos de crescimento e de desenvolvimento econômicos. A partir do debate nacional entre os que são a favor e contra a implantação de zonas de exportações em regiões específicas, a análise parte do registro da importância das ZPEs em países que optaram em diferentes momentos históricos, para o aumento dos investimentos produtivos e para a diversificação da produção e de suas exportações a partir da inovação, notadamente em suas políticas fiscais. Nesses países desenvolvidos e em desenvolvimento as ZPEs mostraram-se muito mais eficientes no que tange a captação de novos blocos industriais, de aumento de produção e de exportações mais elaboradas. Conclui-se que essa eficiência não tem se manifestado no Brasil, onde as ZPEs funcionam de forma não integrada a um projeto nacional de industrialização e muito menos no Rio Grande do Norte, onde o fenômeno da ZPE é significativamente ineficiente e por esse motivo não passa de um mito quanto à sua contribuição para o desenvolvimento e a integração econômica estadual.

O presente trabalho pretende avaliar como essa mecanização afetou na evolução do número de empregados em dois períodos distintos: 2004-2008 e 2014-2018, assim como o perfil dos trabalhadores. Utilizou-se dados da Pesquisa Nacional por Amostras de Domicílios como fonte de dados neste trabalho. Evidenciou-se que os trabalhadores, em sua maioria, possuíam as seguintes características: homens, brancos ou pardos, com ensino fundamental ou médio, adultos, concentrados na grande região Centro-Sul. Com a evolução da mecanização em todas as regiões do país – destaque para a região Norte, que alcançou um percentual de 100% de colheita mecanizada - observou-se que houve uma significativa redução no número de ocupados nas lavouras da cana-de-açúcar entre os dois períodos – queda de 58% de 2008 a 2018 – e também que ocorreu aumento no número de trabalhadores mais qualificados e uma leve redução na quantidade de trabalhadores elementares.
JOHN MAYNARD KEYNES E MACROECONOMIA DAS DECISÕES CAPITALISTAS: NA PERSPECTIVA DA TEORIA ECONÔMICA MONETÁRIA DA PRODUÇÃO
Authors: Mariotti Ruiz Stéphani Cetimia
Published: December 2021

O artigo apresenta as contribuições de John Maynard Keynes para compreensão do sistema capitalista, de forma a evidenciar seus estudos revolucionários que contribuíram para modificação da visão clássica e irreal das economias e as relações de decisão da economia. Caracterizando a economia mundial baseada no poder de liquidez, ou seja, a teoria econômica monetária da produção. O estudo proporciona uma explicação sucinta sob a relação dos fatores para tomadas de decisões dos capitalistas e suas influencias na hierarquia das decisões da economia e as reformas sociais propostas por Keynes. Finalizando com a valorização dos estudos de Keynes e a introdução da crítica do economista Minsky sobre o Keynesianismo convencional, a sua fragilidade financeira e a argumentação que para Keynes a economia capitalista era composta por ativos, Minsky evolui essa explicação e evidencia que a economia é composta por ativos que são financiados por passivos em um balanço de contrapartida.
Przedmioty metalowe w stylu zakopiańskim Marcina Jarry

Published: December 2021

Abstrakt: W lutym 1887 r. mosiężnicy Marcin Jarra i Marceli Jakubowski otworzyli w Krakowie pod własnymi nazwiskami filię znanej warszawskiej wytwórni wyrobów platerowych Norblin, Bracia Buch i T. Werner. Firma wprowadziła na rynek galicyjski przedmioty wykonane z posrebrzanego metalu, naśladujące wyroby srebrne (galanterię stołową, przedmioty do sprawowania kultu, naczynia toaletowe). W 1900 r. wspólnicy wyróżnieni zostali za platerowane przedmioty m.in. na Wystawie Światowej w Paryżu. Niestety, w tym też roku rozwiązali spółkę i każdy z nich kontynuował własną produkcję. Firma nad nazwą M. Jarry istniała zapewne do 1927 r. Przedmioty w stylu zakopiańskim produkowane były w latach 1900–1917 (?). Dekoracje do tych przedmiotów powstały wg rysunków St. Witkiewicza i Wł. Matlakowskiego. Oferta w stylu zakopiańskim jest znana dzięki jedynemu zachowanemu katalogowi z ponad 50 wzorami. Egzemplarze w stylu zakopiańskim należą do rzadkich i to zarówno w zabiorach muzealnych, jak i kolekcjach prywatnych. Summary: Famous braziers, Marcin Jarra and Marcel Jakubowski, opened under their own names the first Cracow branch of Norblin, Bracia Buch i T. Werner, a famous Warsaw plate factory. Established in February 1887, the company introduced items crafted from silvered metal that imitated silverware (such as crockery, items of religious value, or toilette accessories) onto the Galician market. In 1900, both associates were distinguished for their wares on the World’s Fair in Paris. Alas, in the same year they disbanded their company; each of them continued their own production. The M. Jarra company continued to operate till 1927. Their line of products characterized by the Zakopane style was manufactured in years 1900–1917. Decorations to said products were based on the drawings of St. Witkiewicz and Wl. Matlakowski. This offer is known thanks to the one preserved catalogue featuring around 50 patterns. Zakopane styled items are rare both in private and museum collections. Tłumaczenie: Jakub Młynarczyk
Uniwersum poetyki. Prolegomena
Authors: Szczęsna Ewa
Published: December 2021

The article analyzes the influence of semiotic systems typical of various artistic discourses on the poetics of the text (especially the modeling of rhetorical figures) and the creation of textual meanings. The thesis put forward is that the comparative characterization of textual forms makes it possible, on the one hand, to extract universal mechanisms of creating meanings (constitutive features of figures – ‘genetic information’ of poetics), and on the other hand, to examine their many representations that determine the multivariance of poetics. Migrations of figure variants from one discursive environment to another cause a ‘semantic explosion’ and determine the development of discursive forms and, as a result, the dynamics of culture. This issue is shown on the example of the forms of an ellipse in art – the ways of realizing the unsolvable and solvable concealment in literature and film. Literary and cinematic procedures are analyzed, which transform the grammatical and rhetorical ellipse into an artistic strategy.
Sceniczne użycia prozy Jarosława Iwaszkiewicza. O trzech adaptacjach Matki Joanny od Aniołów
Authors: Dąbrowska Dorota
Published: December 2021

This article contains a comparative analysis of three contemporary plays that are stagings of the short story Matka Joanna od aniołów by Jarosław Iwaszkiewicz. The aim of the analysis is to examine the relation between the plays and the text of the literary original, to ask questions about the ideological meaning of each of them and to try to determine the meaning of intertextual references and the aesthetic organization of the plays. The title category of ‘use’ of the text refers to the understanding of its interpretation as a process that takes place separately from the intention to remain faithful to the literary original. Using this category makes it possible to analyze the performances, focusing on the question of their degree of faithfulness to the original, and to reflect on the specificity of the autonomous messages they produce.
Kulturowe czy polityczne wojny domowe? Mit i rewolucja w poezji dwudziestolecia międzywojennego
Authors: Kuciński Paweł
Published: December 2021

The article presents the history of the concepts of myth and revolution in political poetry in the 1930s. Under the pressure of politics, these terms lost their meaning assigned by tradition. This observation leads to conclusions of a more general nature: the essence of involvement and the role of literature as an intermediary between politics as a historical source and politics as a paradoxically non-ideological activity. Thus, literature as an institution mediates in immunizing politics, especially radical politics. Becoming a serious element of the order dictated by the cultural canons existing in equilibrium and their reinterpretations.

La evaluación de la diversidad, estructura genética y capacidad de hibridación en especies forestales contribuye en el diseño de estrategias para preservar su riqueza genética. A su vez, la riqueza genética contribuye en la adaptación de estas especies ante factores adversos o nuevos ambientes, como el cambio climático. Por esta razón, se evalúo la diversidad, estructura genética y capacidad de hibridación en poblaciones de Pinus arizonica y P. durangensis de la sierra de Chihuahua. Se analizaron árboles de tres poblaciones de cada especie con el uso de AFLPs (polimorfismo en la longitud de los fragmentos amplificados). Los resultados revelaron que existe amplia diversidad genética dentro de ambas especies [índice de información de Shannon (I) = 0.37]. Las poblaciones evaluadas presentaron diferenciación genética significativa (p<0.05) en ambas especies. No obstante, estas diferencias genéticas entre poblaciones explicaron menos de 10% de la variación total. La población Sur presentó mayor diferenciación, la cual podría haber sido generada por las barrancas en esa región del estado, identificadas como una barrera en el flujo genético. El 39% de los árboles analizados de P. arizonica y P. durangensis presentaron introgresión genética de la otra especie, es decir que provienen de ancestros híbridos. Por lo anterior, sería recomendable que los programas de reforestación con P. arizonica y P. durangensis se realicen con materiales locales. Además, es importante considerar la capacidad de hibridación entre estas especies al seleccionar áreas o arboles semilleros.

Authors: Zaini Farah , Abdul Aziz Shyafiena , Ali Nurlaila , Yusuf Adibah
Published: December 2021

The Land Tenure Property Right (LTPR) concept is critical for establishing ownership and rights to land or property. Land is inextricably linked to a community's social identities, and it is critical for them to understand their rights. Water settlement areas are not included in the formal LTPR, which results in ambiguous rights, informal land tenure, and ambiguity regarding certain LTPR elements. As a result, this article will discuss the difficulties associated with LTPR in this area. The article employs a qualitative approach, with data collected via face-to-face interviews and analysed using thematic analysis. Three case studies are included, in which all of the villages are located in a water settlement area. Six challenges are identified in the context of LTPR that require revision and strengthening. By combining the general LTPR framework and the results, a Matrix of LTPR that meets the criteria in the water settlement area is produced.
WATER-BASED SETTLEMENTS AND THE URBAN PLANNING CHALLENGES IN INDONESIA A CASE STUDY OF BANJARMASIN CITY
Authors: Setiadi Amos , Kusliansjah Karyadi
Published: December 2021

The Banjarmasin city is located in territorial waters. The development is currently causing problems related to the context of the aquatic environment. This is because urban development planning is not in accordance with the environmental context. Therefore, this article aims to determine the sustainability of water-based settlements in aquatic environment in Banjarmasin city. This is a qualitative article with the descriptive method used to explain the environmental structure and architectural elements of water-based settlements. Primary and secondary data were obtained from field observations and the city government in the form of maps and pictures of settlements. The data collected were analyzed with the descriptive approach and concluded using the deductive method. This article reveals the form of residence due to community adaptation to water areas and finds that urban spatial development policies need to understand the community's adaptation process as a local brand of city identity. The concept of 'living with water is a future challenge because it is a water-based cultural adaptation strategy. The architecture of the floating residence has the opportunity to be developed into a floating settlement and city. Therefore, the adaptation of residential architectural forms and environmental structures supports the Banjarmasin city as a waterfront city.
