Published: June 2023

В работе заостряется внимание на важные для изучения комплексной стратегии развития человечества, разработанные профессором Старожиловым понятие и учение о нооландшафтосфере, парадигмы ландшафтопользование. Отмечается, что разработки на прямую влияют на современное и будущее понимание развитие общества и планирование и управление действиями его при освоении территорий нооландшафтосферы, представляющей фундамент практик освоения планеты Земля. В целом влияет и от практик направленности применения основ ландшафтопользования, как парадигмы по созданию моделей морфологического строения планеты Земля, индикации, ландшафтных узловых структур, планирования и управления освоения и пространственного развития территорий, на создание моделей ноолодшафтосферы. Формулируется важность изучения статистических данных и определение соотношения вещественного, энергетического и информационного потоков формирования косных и биокосных систем в зоне максимального взаимодействия литосферы, гидросферы, атмосферы и биосферы и влияние такого взаимодействия на развитие в целом и в том числе на производственно-хозяйственное развитие человечества. Отмечается, что в настоящее время все еще отсутствуют направленные исследования по изучению количественных данных по характеристикам потоков, их роли и значимости в формировании ландшафтов и в целом нооландшафтосферы. Формулируется важность применения учения о нооландшафтосфере и парадигмы ландшафтопользование в планировании путей и осуществлении на планете Земля производственно-хозяйственного и в целом развития общества с учетом количественных данных по вещественному, энергетическому и информационному потокам.

Differential Object Marking and Nominal Licensing
Authors: ATLAMAZ Ümit
Published: June 2023

This paper presents a novel account of Differential Object Marking as an instance of case assigned by a post-syntactic Agree-Case operation that transduces agreement relations established in the syntax by marking the goal rather than the probe. In this sense, it is a modern interpretation of Nichols' (1986) Head-Marking and Dependent Marking dichotomy. Analyzing the intricate details of Differential Object Markin in Kashmiri, I show that not all but some nominals need licensing under well defined syntactic configurations. Expanding on Kalin's (2018) observation that Person Case Constraint (PCC) and Differential Object Marking occur in similar configurations, I argue that PCC is observed in languages that do not have an Agree-Case mechanism.
Investigating the Levels of Liver Lipogenic and Lipolytic Enzymes in Rat with High-Fat Diet and Sucrose Solution Underwent Progressive Resistance Training
Authors: Delbari Reihaneh , Fathi Rozita , Safarzade Alireza , Nasiri Khadijeh
Published: June 2023

Objective: Consuming too much fat or carbohydrates stimulates lipogenesis and excess fat is stored in non-fat tissues, including the liver, and manifests as obesity and fatty liver disease. This study aimed to investigate the effect of eight weeks of progressive resistance training (PRT) on the liver levels of some enzymes affecting lipid metabolism in rats fed a high-fat diet and sucrose solution.
Materials and Methods: Twenty-four male wistar rats with 5 weeks of age were randomly divided into two groups: standard diet (SD) (n=8) and high-fat diet and sucrose solution (HFDS) (n=16). Twelve weeks later, HFDS group was divided into two groups: sedentary (HS) and PRT (HPRT). The PRT program was implemented 3 days a week for 8 weeks. Gene expression of AMPKα1, SCD-1, ATGL and FASN enzymes affecting lipid metabolism in liver tissue and its fat content were investigated.
Results: HFDS significantly increased the body weight (P: 0.001) and significantly decreased the liver expression of ATGL and FASN (P: 0.001, P: 0.011). Eight weeks of PRT did not show a significant difference in the expression of AMPKα1, SCD-1, ATGL and FASN genes. Rats fed HFDS had considerably higher levels of triglyceride (TG) and total cholesterol (TC) in their liver tissue (P: 0.004, P: 0.001) and PRT did not affect them (P: 0.959, P: 0.809 respectively).
Conclusion: It seems that eight weeks of PRT will not change liver lipid metabolism enzymes. Therefore, modifying the diet and changing it, will probably show different results after PRT.
Insights into Candida Albicans: A New Perspective on Pathogenic Factors and Regulatory Mechanisms
Authors: Kamali Mohadeseh , Sarvtin Mehdi Taheri
Published: June 2023

Candida albicans (C. albicans) is a polymorphic fungus that exists as a natural flora in the skin and mucosal surfaces of the body. However, under certain conditions, such as immunodeficiency, mucosal damage, antibiotic use, and cancer, this fungus can cause superficial and systemic infections. C. albicans is the most common opportunistic pathogenic fungus in humans and causes 60% of mucosal infections and 40% of candidemia cases. Several pathogenic factors have been identified that contribute to the pathogenic potential of this fungus. Among these factors, we can mention: hypha production, attachment, and biofilm formation, secretion of hydrolase enzymes, acquisition of micronutrients, adaptation to oxygen and nitrogen deficiency conditions, and growth at temperatures above 37 °C. This review article will investigate the pathogenic factors of C. albicans and their regulatory factors. For this purpose, articles published in national and international scientific databases, including PubMed/MEDLINE, Google Scholar, Elsevier databases, IranMedex, Scopus, SID, and Science Direct, were used. Keywords such as: “Candida,” “Fungi,” “Pathogenesis,” and “Virulence” were used to find the articles.

Published: June 2023

Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19), an epidemic caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-COV-2), has spread worldwide since it was first identified in Wuhan, China, in December 2019, leading to outbreaks of epidemics. Due to the increasing spread of this disease, definitive treatment and approved vaccines have not been found for it. In this study, we reviewed recent articles on the effect of vitamins (including vitamins A, B, and E) for treating coronavirus. This result suggests that some dietary supplements such as vitamins (A, B, C, D, E, etc.) have antiviral, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory effects. Dietary supplements consisting of vitamins and individual dietary habits can therefore be used as adjunctive therapy along with antiviral drugs in the treatment of COVID-19 disease.

Published: June 2023

Background and Aims: The composition of the Microbiota can be influenced by various lifestyle and environmental factors, including diet. We designed a study to investigate the improving effects of plant extract, the combination of turmeric, ginger, boswellia, and cat’s claw on the abundance of key members of the gut microbiota, Bacteroidetes, Akkermansia muciniphila (A. muciniphila), Faecalibacterium prausnitzii (F. prausnitzii), Firmicutes and Bifidobacterium in mice treated with advanced glycation end products (AGE) rich high-fat diet (HFD).
Materials and Methods: Eighteen 2-month age male C57BL/6 mice were adopted to a regular diet for 1 week and then fed with an HFD or regular diet. After 8 weeks of diet, animals received plant extract concurrently with HFD for 8 weeks. Stools were taken, DNA of stool samples was extracted, and qPCR of 16s rDNA universal primers was performed. Then the effect of plant extract on dysbiosis induced by AGE-rich HFD was accessed.
Results: Our results revealed the frequencies of Bacteroidetes (p=0.001), A. muciniphila (p= 0.0005), F. prausnitzii (p<0.0001), and Bifidobacterium (p= 0.0008) were reduced, whereas the frequency of Firmicute was increased in the AGE-rich HFD group. A significant increase in the F/B ratio was observed in the HFD group than in the regular diet group (p= 0.0003). plant extract reduced the F/B ratio and improved gut microbiota homeostasis. 
Conclusion: Plant extract restored gut microbiota patterns in HFD-treated mice. It seems more studies are required to prove the application of plant extracts for modulating the gut microbiota as a promising new biomarker with potential for therapeutic applications.

Authors: Jamshidi Rastani M , Heydari A , Rohani-Rasaf M , Barkhordari A , Nikjoo M
Published: June 2023

Introduction: Covid-19 was first reported as a viral disease in China in 2019, and it soon became a global pandemic. In addition, the types of occupations people have and the environments in which they work may increase the likelihood of being exposed to the virus. Thus, this study was conducted to investigate the prevalence of Covid-19 disease in various occupations and its relationship with some effective parameters in Shahroud City.
Materials and Methods: This research is a cross-sectional, descriptive-analytical study that was conducted in 2021. The required information was extracted from the database provided by Shahroud University of Medical Sciences. These files contain the results of the comprehensive study of COVID-19 in Shahroud. All the jobs that were asked of the person were classified based on the International Standard Classification of Occupations and suspicious and definite cases were examined in different occupations. The information was analyzed using SPSS software version 22.
Results: According to the results, the highest percentage of cases (45%) was in healthcare workers, such as doctors, nurses, and operating room staff—in other words, all employees working in the healthcare system. The next highest percentages were in household and home nursing workers (44.5%), retirees (43.2%), and construction workers (43%). The relationship between variables such as age, smoking status, presence of comorbidities, and presence of a high body mass index (BMI) associated with Covid-19 disease was examined by the regression test. It was found that the relationship was significant and that these variables affected the prevalence of the disease. Based on the odds ratio in the age variable, with each year of age, the chance of getting infected increased by 1%. A current smoker had a reduced chance of getting the disease by 57.2%. Having a comorbidity increased the chance of getting the disease by 14%, and with each increase in BMI, the chance of getting the disease increased by 3.8%.
Conclusion: The study found that in some occupations, such as healthcare workers, the prevalence of the disease was higher because workers were in direct contact with patients and people infected with the virus. In general, it can be said that the prevalence of the disease was low in workers who could telework and remain at home rather than go to a job or in the community. Factors such as age, the presence of comorbidities, status as a current smoker, and having a high BMI affected contracting Covid-19 disease.

Published: June 2023

Introduction: In office tasks, pinch gripping of tools such as pen, paper, mouse, and keys are required during most working hours. This study aimed to determine the effect of demographic factors and working with a computer on office workers' hand grip and pinch strength.
Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional analytical study, after recording the demographic characteristics, the hand grip and pinch strength of 174 employees of 20 offices of Birjand city with at least 3 hours of daily computer work was measured using a Jamar hand dynamometer and Saehan pinch gauge. The data were analyzed by SPSS statistical software version 16. In addition to descriptive statistics, ANOVA, independent t-test, and Pearson correlation coefficient were used.
Results: The mean and standard deviation related to the age of the subjects were 37.5 ± 7.15 and 13 ± 7.35 years. The relationship between the hand grip and pinch strength with the variables of sex, height, weight, and Handedness (except the tip of the males) was significant (P<0.05), but with the variables of BMI, work experience, and age (except palmar of the dominant hand) was not significant. Computer work duration significantly affected the dominant hand's grip strength and both hands' palmar and tip pinch (P<0.05).
Conclusion: The results of this study show the effect of computer work duration on reducing office workers' hand grip and pinch strength. Therefore, it is recommended to apply ergonomic principles to maintain hand grip and pinch strength of computer users.

Authors: Torfi Alivi A , Shahraki F , Sardashti Birjandi MR , Khalilipour Langerudi MM
Published: June 2023

Introduction: Gas pressure reduction stations are one of the most important parts of natural gas distribution networks. Risk assessment in operational units is a suitable method to assess risks, and their results can be used for management and decision-making regarding control and reduction of its consequences without critical concern. In other words, risk assessment is a process that identifies risks, assesses losses and determines risk characteristics. The present study aimed to model possible accidents, the subsequent evaluation of the consequences, and determination of safe boundaries in the suburban natural gas pressure reduction station located in the Bromi area of Ahvaz city using PHAST software.
Materials and Methods: In this study, possible scenarios based on the investigated background and utilizing the process data of the studied gas pressure reduction station, such as temperature, gas pressure, gas analysis, and meteorological data, and also using Pasquil's classification of atmospheric conditions the safe boundaries in the suburban natural gas pressure reduction station was investigated using PHAST software version 22.8 and. For this purpose, 6 possible scenarios were investigated in the selected atmospheric classes as well as the worst possible conditions. The consequences were evaluated based on different states of gas discharge, gas release, flash fire, sudden fire, and explosion.
Results: Based on the obtained results, the areas with high-risk potential were related to gas release and explosion, respectively. Also, the highest risk range belonging to scenario number five was reported for a gas explosion with atmospheric class F and wave intensity of 0.02068 bars and equivalent to 358.5 meters. In this range, according to the damage caused by the explosion, with a probability of 95%, without serious damage, 50% of the windows will be broken, and therefore it can cause human injuries. Based on this, the safe distance in this station was determined to be 358.5 meters.
Conclusion: Based on concerns about the lack of risk assessment studies over the initial phases and during the operation of the station, the study shows that determining the safe boundaries and high-risk areas along with the priority of risk reduction is very necessary. It can be concluded that the modeling of accidents and the evaluation of the resulting consequences along with the determination of safe boundaries is one of the basic factors in the health of the working environment of personnel and the general public.

Authors: Imenpanah M , Sadra Abargouei N , Sadri Esfahani A
Published: June 2023

Introduction: Nurses play a critical role in the health of society. Previous studies have reported a high level of occupational stress in the nursing community. Therefore, the present study investigates the relationship between demographic characteristics and job stress on nurses' workability. 
Materials and Methods: 408 nurses participated in this cross-sectional descriptive study. Data were collected using a demographic information questionnaire, nurses' job stress scale (NSS), and work ability index (WAI). SPSS version 24 statistical software and independent t-tests, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), and Pearson correlation were used for data analysis. The significance level in the present study was considered less than 0.05. 
Results: The mean and standard deviation of the age of the nurses was 33.6 ± 5.1 years. 78.2% of the participants (319 nurses) were women, and the rest were men. 68.7% of female nurses (280 people) were married. Nurses had high job stress and poor workability. A significant negative relationship was observed between job stress and nurses' workability (P<0.001). Age and work experience had a negative significant relationship with occupational stress and a positive significant relationship with workability. Also, nurses with higher education had lower job stress and higher workability. 
Conclusion: Considering the negative impact of occupational stress on the nurses' workability, it is suggested that the relevant managers identify and eliminate the factors that cause occupational stress to maintain health, improve the ability to work, and increase the productivity of nurses, to reduce the amount of occupational stress and improve the workability of nurses.

Published: June 2023

Background: Colchicine acts as a polyploidy inducer but at high concentrations, it causes high cell mortality. To improve the efficiency of colchicine polyploidization in cassava, leaf lobes colchicine-sensitivity tests were carried out and LD50 determined at 0.00, 0.05, 0.10, 0.20 and 0.25g/l colchicine concentrations in the varieties Ankrah, Dagati, Tomfa and Tuaka. Methods: Colchicine treated leaf lobes were regenerated into callus on either 8 mg/l 2, 4-D or Picloram. The calli were subsequently regenerated into somatic embryos by NAA. LD50 of 0.09, 0.11, 0.13 and 0.09 mg/L colchicine concentration were determined for Ankrah, Dagati, Tomfa and Tuaka respectively in 2, 4-D. Similarly, LD50 of 0.12, 0.10, 0.14 and 0.10 mg/L were respectively obtained in Picloram. Result: In 2, 4-D, Ankrah and Tuaka were more sensitive to colchicine than Dagati and Tomfa whereas in picloram, Dagati and Tuaka showed more sensitivity. Callus proliferation differed significantly among varieties and influenced by the concentration of colchicine.
Geothermal Power Corridor- connecting the Middle East Countries
Authors: CHANDRASEKHARAM Dornadula
Published: June 2023

The Middle East economy and life depend on imports, be it food, water, or energy, despite each country in the region having enormous energy resources to exploit and reduce dependency on countries outside the region and develop a socioeconomic model of regional cooperation and synergy. An estimated 371 TWh of electricity available from geothermal energy resources can be utilized by these countries to support basic needs and be free from food-energy-water imports by sharing their energy resources. The total amount of CO2 emissions from these countries is currently 945 x 106 kg, so these countries can further earn about 92 million euros from carbon savings, by using geothermal energy along this corridor. This amount can be utilized for augmenting the energy supply from geothermal sources. In this work, the available geothermal resources are evaluated, and suggestions are made how this energy can be best utilized for peaceful existence and cooperation in the region.
CHINESE POVERTY REDUCTION MODEL: A VIRILE TOOL FOR ACHIEVING POVERTY REDUCTION IN NIGERIA BY 2030
Authors: Adewale Omotayo Vincent , Adeyinka Adewole Joseph , Damilola Ogunlokun Ayodele
Published: June 2023

Various strategies have been used by Nigerian government in a bid to stem the tide of rising poverty in the country but poverty appears not to have been abated judging from the available statistics. However, China has been able to reduce its poverty from 57% to less than 1% between 1999 and 2020. Therefore, this study appraised empirically the efficacy of Chinese poverty reduction model reducing poverty in Nigeria. Both the CBN Statistical Bulletin and World Bank Development Indicators were used as sources for the data. The data were analyzed using regression utilizing the Ordinary Least Square method. The results showed that agricultural productivity, a component of China's strategy to combat poverty, had a significant impact on reducing poverty in Nigeria. Additionally, it was discovered that government spending on social services, another Chinese strategy, had a beneficial effect on the eradication of poverty. It was discovered that a 1% increase in the amount spent on social and community services in Nigeria resulted in a 21% decline in the country's poverty rate. However, it was found that agricultural spending was inversely correlated with capital income, which went against the theoretical prediction. Therefore, it was determined that the Chinese model for decreasing poverty, which incorporates better agricultural techniques, higher social security, and community services, will be effective in significantly lowering poverty in Nigeria by 2030.Keywords:  Poverty Reduction, Chinese Model, Agricultural Productivity, Social and Community Expenditure

Participation in Higher Education Classroom Discussions: How Students’ Identities Influence Perspective Taking and Engagement
Authors: Parker-Shandal Crystena
Published: June 2023

This study examines the impact of students’ identities on how students participate in classroom discussions in postsecondary courses. Participation in such discussions is known to increase students’ learning, but, despite this, little is known about how students’ identities influence how and whether they choose to participate. Drawn from a larger study on the experiences of postsecondary instructors and students, this article focuses on students’ perspectives and experiences. Survey data were collected from undergraduate students enrolled in an interdisciplinary undergraduate program. Students’ race, religion, gender, and their first- or continuing-generation university status were found to have varying influences on their participation in classroom discussions. Most students with marginalized identities opted out of actively participating in discussions about contentious or sociopolitical topics. This study suggests that inclusive approaches to classroom discussion can be useful in promoting students’ engagement and academic learning.
Farnese: uma história do corpo na arte contemporânea (1964-1976)
Authors:   Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo, Araújo André Luiz de
Published: June 2023

Este trabalho aqui apresentado trata-se de uma notícia de pesquisa e, tem como preocupação analisar alguns aspectos históricos das relações entre arte contemporânea e representações do corpo (conceito estético, políticas corporais, poética e transformações na sensibilidade), na obra do artista plástico brasileiro Farnese de Andrade entre os anos de 1964 a 1976. Contudo vale lembrar que, essa perspectiva de procedimentos de estudos adotados submetem-se aqui ao dio condutor de uma história. O principal objetivo desta pesquisa é enfocar as questões que desperta interesse nos domínios da História do Corpo & Cultura: a problematização da arte n]o contexto de Ditadura no Brasil que se agrega na obra de arte sua dimensão política; a subjetividade em obra: Farnese, artista contemporâneo; a figura humana no cerne da obra de arte e o corpo paradoxal: entre o orgânico e morto, entre o totalitário e dilacerado. Dessa forma, buscaremos a historicidade contida em suas representações e sensibilidades, considerando múltiplos fatores que, nas décadas de 1960 e 1970, estabelecem complexos de relações: transformações da consciência, poética da obra, constantes metamorfoses do corpo e o aviso explícito da arte sobre a crise do humanismo ocidental.
A questão da indumentária em obras de Sandro Botticelli
Authors:   Universidade Estadual do Rio de Janeiro, Carvalho Larissa Sousa de
Published: June 2023

A presente comunicação pretende abordar e analisar algumas obras do pintor italiano Sandro Botticelli (1444/5-1510), pontuando questões referentes à iconografia e à indumentária. Deste modo, suas duas obras de maior destaque – “O Nascimento de Vênus” e “A Primavera” – foram selecionadas para um olhar mais atento, sendo relacionadas a outras imagens, tanto obras do próprio Botticelli, como de outros artistas do período ou ainda de períodos diferentes. Em alusão à indumentária, intenta-se identificar as peças do vestuário e, mais do que isso, perceber suas relações com a tradição clássica, com o contexto do quadro em si e de como isso é compreendido na obra de Botticelli de maneira geral. Ademais, é interessante observar como esses quadros ao invés de representarem temas cristãos, na verdade são representações de mitos clássicos, pois na Florença da segunda metade do século XV, enfatizava-se a idéia de uma verdade e sabedoria superior dos antigos, sendo esclarecido, aos poucos, o próprio contexto histórico do Quattrocento, período em que essas obras foram realizadas. Este estudo deve ser compreendido como uma tentativa de analisar a história da arte através de uma perspectiva não muito explorada até o momento, ou seja, sob o olhar dos questionamentos suportados pelo vestuário nas obras de arte.
Psicanálise e mímesis com base na teoria crítica
Authors:   Universidade de São Paulo, Freitas Nivaldo Alexandre de
Published: June 2023

A comunicação visa abordar alguns elementos acerca do conceito de mímesis em Walter Benjamin e em alguns textos de Theodor Adorno, focando primeiramente a relação entre mímesis e linguagem. Nessa reflexão teórica, a psicanálise possui importância para ambos os autores, já que alguns conceitos freudianos se tornaram importantes para se pensar a arte em seu aspecto pulsional. Pretende-se, então, buscar relações entre mímesis e alguns conceitos da psicanálise, e finalmente, expor como Adorno opera o conceito de mímesis no interior do debate estético da primeira metade do século XX e perguntar pela importância desse conceito na obra literária de Franz Kafka.
Arte e vida em mirrored cubes e na música de mobiliário: tensões no entorno
Authors:   Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio de Janeiro, Oliveira Ana Marcela França de
Published: June 2023

A arte contemporânea, tanto a brasileira quanto a internacional, se encontra, em sua maioria, intimamente relacionada à vida, à realidade comum. Sua aplicação ou mesmo existência no mundo é dada através de sua abertura para a realidade cotidiana, onde o espaço da galeria se torna, muitas vezes, insuficiente. Instalações, performances, happenings e outras formas de manifestações artísticas, criam, então, uma temporalidade produzida pelo encontro entre arte, espectador-participante e espaço, tornado-se a obra as ações simultâneas proporcionadas pela duração desse mesmo encontro. Deste modo, dicotomias e hierarquias desaparecem para dar lugar ao acaso e a indeterminação, uma vez que a obra de arte nunca volta a ser exatamente aquilo que já fora antes. Para tanto, buscaremos na Música de mobiliário (c. 1920), de Erik Satie e em Mirrored Cubes (1965), de Robert Morris, alcançar o entendimento desse constante processo de abertura, como também analisaremos as tensões provocadas nos artistas que de alguma forma compartilharam deste mesmo pensamento – como em John Cage, Richard Serra, entre outros.
Visita ao cemitério da saudade de Campinas – SP
Authors:   Universidade Federal de Goiás, Elusta Halima Alves de Lima
Published: June 2023

O Cemitério da Saudade de Campinas (1881) pode ser considerado um museu a céu aberto por abrigar túmulos construídos para perpetuar a memória dos cidadãos campineiros desde sua fundação até hoje. Essas construções além de representarem a relação do homem com a morte, materializam os valores estéticos do período em que foram construídos e por isso é parte do patrimônio histórico e cultural da cidade. A arte funerária brasileira em geral possui características comuns em todo o país, porém, cada região apresenta suas especificidades. Em Campinas, as construções do Cemitério da Saudade foram projetadas e executadas por artistas-artesãos imigrantes ou descendentes de imigrantes, sendo portanto, influenciadas pela arte funerária européia. Esse trabalho mostra que é possível identificar características peculiares a cada artista-artesão, por meio dos túmulos e materiais empregados nos trabalhos dos principais construtores que atuaram no período entre 1881 e 1950 - Giuseppe Tomagnini, Família Vélez, e Irmãos Coluccini.
Do tirar polo natural: relações possíveis
Authors:   Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Fonseca Raphael
Published: June 2023

Este texto visa estabelecer algumas conexões possíveis entre “Do tirar polo natural” (1549), teoria do retrato escrita pelo português Francisco de Holanda e outros textos componentes de sua bagagem cultural, como, por exemplo, as cartas de Pietro Aretino a Tiziano Vecellio. Além disso, haverá um esforço em relacionar sua obra com outras fontes de diferentes recortes histórico-artísticos geralmente não colocadas em paralelo, como o texto “The art of limning” (1598), de Nicholas Hilliard.
Sob as colunas do ministério da educação, a construção do homem brasileiro
Authors:   Universidade de São Paulo, Herbst Helio
Published: June 2023

A comunicação objetiva problematizar os embates que acompanharam a (não) implantação do monumento escultórico O Homem Brasileiro no edifício-sede do Ministério da Educação e Saúde Pública (Mesp), no Rio de Janeiro. Em um primeiro instante, serão discutidos os impasses que acompanharam a elaboração do projeto arquitetônico e os esforços empreendidos para transformar o edifício em uma obra símbolo da modernidade brasileira. Num segundo momento, minha reflexão volta-se aos trâmites que se desenrolam em torno da obra O Homem Brasileiro, encomendada a Celso Antonio, Ernesto de Fiori e Victor Brecheret. Valendo-me dos diferentes conteúdos formais plasmados pelos escultores, colocarei em confronto os julgamentos lançados pelo ministro Gustavo Capanema e pela equipe de arquitetos liderada por Lúcio Costa e Oscar Niemeyer. Também são cotejadas as críticas formuladas por estudiosos de diferentes campos das ciências humanas.
Em busca das fontes: Ataíde e os livros estampados dos séculos XVIII e XIX

A presente comunicação tem como objetivo apresentar um resumo de nossos resultados parciais na tentativa de compor um inventário dos livros estampados, que se encontram em arquivos civis e eclesiásticos de Ouro Preto e Mariana, cujas gravuras possam ter servido de modelo para a produção artística do período e, sobretudo, para algumas obras do pintor marianense Manuel da Costa Ataíde (1762-1830), produzidas em princípios do século XIX.
Anotações em torno de uma correspondência: Debret e Porto Alegre
Authors:   https://econtents.bc.unicamp.br/eventos/index.php/eha/article/view/3938, Lima Valéria Alves Esteves
Published: June 2023

A divisão de manuscritos da Biblioteca Nacional do Rio de Janeiro possui um conjunto de onze cartas enviadas por Jean-Baptiste Debret a Manoel de Araújo Porto Alegre, entre 1837 e 1844. Como é próprio do gênero epistolar, destas cartas emergem temas e observações diversos, onde ora nos deparamos com assuntos profissionais e acadêmicos, ora com questões de natureza pessoal e particular, ora com manifestações de emoções compreensíveis se considerarmos o profundo elo que unia os missivistas.
Fósseis, arte e fotografia: sobre a intenção na produção da imagem
Authors:   Universidade Federal Fluminense, Lopes Marcos Felipe de Brum
Published: June 2023

O trabalho pretende refletir sobre a fotografia enquanto um objeto de apreciação artística e enquanto um campo de análise no âmbito da história da arte. Toma como referência o conceito de intenção, na acepção do termo como um definidor do objeto artístico representativo. A fotografia tem sido repensada nos últimos anos por historiadores, filósofos e fotógrafos que utilizam conceitos plurais para a melhor compreensão da essência da imagem fotográfica. Especialmente no tocante à fotografia como expressão artística, há um contraponto entre a indicialidade e a intencionalidade na produção da imagem, o que significa questionar se todos os elementos da imagem fotográfica, cuja presença na superfície da fotografia é garantida pela indicialidade, são, de fato, resultado da intenção do fotógrafo. Tomando emprestada a idéia de Hiroshi Sugimoto de fotografia como fóssil e o instigante trabalho de Walter Benn Michaels Photographs and fossils, pretende-se explorar o recente debate que contrapõe a fotografia como representação figurativa à fotografia como causa indicial do real. Por fim, será questionada a procedência da idéia de que a fotografia não está enraizada nas intenções do fotógrafo.
Nonlinear Dynamics of a Wave Solid-State Gyroscope Taking into Account the Electrical Resistance of an Oscillation Control Circuit
Authors:   National Research University “MPEI”, Maslov D. A.
Published: June 2023

This article is concerned with investigating the nonlinear dynamics of the cylindrical resonator of a wave solid-state gyroscope. The nonlinearity of oscillations caused by the nonlinear properties of electrostatic control sensors is considered. This nonlinearity is derived by taking into account the finite ratio of resonator flexure to the small gap of electrostatic control sensors. The equations of the electromechanical system that in interconnected form describe the nonlinear mechanical oscillations of the gyroscope resonator and electrical oscillations in the control circuit are derived. The resulting differential equations belong to the class of Tikhonov systems, since the equation of electrical processes in the control circuit is singularly perturbed. By taking into account the low electrical resistance of the oscillation control circuit, which determines a small parameter at the derivative in the singularly perturbed equation of electrical processes, the nonlinear oscillations of the wave solid-state gyroscope resonator are studied. The small parameter method is used to obtain a mathematical model of the resonator dynamics, which jointly takes into account the nonlinearity of the resonator oscillations and the electrical resistance of the oscillation control circuit. A special method is proposed to reduce the nonlinear equations of the resonator dynamics to the standard form of the system of differential equations for averaging and the equations of the dynamics of the wave solid-state gyroscope resonator are averaged. It is shown that, in the case of nonlinear oscillations, consideration of the electrical resistance of the oscillation control circuit does not affect the angular velocity of the gyroscope drift, but causes slight dissipation of the oscillations, which also leads to an insignificant correction of the resonant frequency.
The representation of Malay-Muslim women’s identity in contemporary Malaysian cinema
Authors: Muhammad Mastura
Published: June 2023

This paper explores the identity of Malay-Muslim women based on the religious foundation of Islam, feminism and gender in contemporary Malaysian cinema. The number of films produced in the contemporary era between the year of 2000 to the present have portrayed Muslim women characters of fervent spirit and intelligence, possess good values, authoritative, mentally resilient, and independent. Socio-cultural and political changes in Malaysia have encouraged major improvement towards Malay-Muslim women as representational subjects in contemporary Malaysian films. The Malaysian film industry has witnessed an increasing number of films with Islamic content especially towards the end of 1990s. The trend has become popular among Malaysian producers and been well received by the local audience. This scenario indicates a significant relationship between Muslim women and the Islamic related-issue, making it a substantial subject to be examined not only in a social-political context, but also in the cinema studies context. This paper will critically explore the representation of Malay-Muslim women in contemporary Malaysian cinema. The discussion will also consider how their representation intertwined with the religion and customs aspects which subsequently influence a trend in the representation of Malay-Muslim women in contemporary Malaysian cinema.
