Published: March 2023

Abstract. The numerical study of floating offshore wind turbines requires accurate integrated simulations, considering aerodynamics, hydrodynamics, servo and elastic response of these systems. In addition, the floating system dynamics couplings need to be included to calculate precisely the excitation over the ensemble. In this paper, a new tool has been developed coupling the NREL´s aero-servo-elastic tool OpenFAST with the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) toolbox OpenFOAM. OpenFAST is used to model the rotor aerodynamics alongside with the flexible response of the different components of the wind turbine and the controller at each time step considering the dynamic response of the platform. OpenFOAM is used to simulate the hydrodynamics and the platform's response considering the loads from the wind turbine. The whole simulation environment is called OF2 (OpenFOAM & OpenFAST). The OC4 DeepCWind semi-submersible FOWT together with the NREL´s 5MW wind turbine has been simulated using OF2 under two load cases. The purpose of coupling these tools to simulate FOWT is to obtain high-fidelity results for design purposes reducing the computational time compared with the use of CFD simulations both for the rotor aerodynamics, that usually consider rigid blades, and the platform's hydrodynamics. The OF2 approach allows also to include the aero-servo-elastic couplings that exist on the wind turbine alongside with the hydrodynamic system resolved by CFD. High complexity situations of floating offshore wind turbines, like storms, yaw drifts, weather-vane, or mooring line breaks, that implies high displacements and rotations of the floating platform or relevant non-linear effects can be resolved using OF2, overcoming the limitation of many state of the art potential hydrodynamic codes that assume small displacements of the platform. In addition, all the necessary information for the FOWT calculation and design processes can be obtained simultaneously, such as the pressure distribution at the platform components and the loads at the tower base, fairleads tension, etc. Moreover, the effect of turbulent winds and/or elastic blades could be taken in account to resolve load cases from the design and certification standards.

Authors: Handayani Suhesti , Franz Annafi' , Rachmadani Budi
Published: March 2023

This research is motivated by salaries that have not been maximized at the company Bank Perkreditan Rakyat Ingertad Bangun Utama Ltd because it still keeps documents in hard file form. With this web-based employee payroll information system, it is easier for admins to access salary data by accessing the web. The tool used to describe the system model is an Entity Relationship Diagram (ERD). To implement this payroll information system, supporting components are needed in order to work properly. These components use Laravel programming framework and store database in MySQL and use Talwind CSS design to make design easier. The results of research and applications can overcome the problems that exist in companies that do not yet have a payroll application and can be used to process salaries in the company.
Fairness perceptions on digital labour platforms: The effect of gender, age, and type of platform work
Authors:   , Tran Phuong Anh
Published: March 2023

Using data from the first National Survey on Australians working in the gig economy, the study investigated worker perceptions of fairness in the context of digital platform work, with platforms such as Uber, Airtasker or Freelancer. The study identified two key features of platform work that shape fairness perceptions – autonomy and earnings. The study also demonstrated that type of platform work is an important factor to consider when assessing organisational justice. The findings contribute to the nascent literature addressing platform worker perceptions of fairness and inform organizational strategies and management practices that support fairness perceptions in platform work.

Authors:   , Slattery Thomas
Published: March 2023

This project experimentally investigated some of the most common timber bracing systems used in the Australian residential construction market and was one of the world’s largest studies of its kind. The objective of the study was to verify the design capacities of these bracing systems. The study found that plasterboard substantially improves the capacity of timber-framed shear walls and that design values for most systems are conservative; however, some adverse findings of the study relate to systems with sheathing on both sides of the wall, short length walls and cross-braced walls with stud straps.

This PhD thesis aimed to develop a comprehensive analytical framework for the before-after treatment evaluation utilising econometric models that address unobserved heterogeneity. This research had four objectives: (i) investigate the influence of different segmentation approaches on safety effectiveness of engineering treatments, (ii) propose a framework that considers unobserved heterogeneity in the Empirical Bayes approach, (iii) examine the performance of various engineering treatment evaluation techniques using a hypothetical and actual treatment setup, and (iv) propose a framework that estimates multiple crash types simultaneously while accounting for correlations, unobserved heterogeneity, and preponderance of zeros to evaluate a highway system.
Contesting the conclusion of the rejection of the application for lifting the exception of unconstitutionality: the attitude of the Constitutional Court
Authors: Ţurcan Serghei , Rusanovschi Iulian
Published: March 2023

Initially, by the Decision of the Constitutional Court no. 2 of 09.02.2016, it was established that the exception of unconstitutionality may be raised before the court by any of the parties or its representative, as well as by the court ex officio. At the same time, the Constitutional Court observed that the conclusion of the court rejecting the objection of unconstitutionality was not subject to appeal, which violated the principle of the speed of trial.Consequently, the Court thought that the parties should have the opportunity to appeal separately the decision of the judge rejecting the request to lift the exception. Interestingly during the last 5 years, the Constitutional Court has abandoned its vision on the establishment of the appeal, the appeal against some decisions rejecting the requests to lift the exception of unconstitutionality.Using practically the same arguments as in the Judgment of 09.02.2016, the Constitutional Court subsequently considered that art. 7) para. 32) of the CPC is adopted by Law no. 99/2020 in the spirit of the Constitution, and the parties in the process may challenge the position, the conclusion of the court of the first instance by which the request regarding the lifting of the exception of unconstitutionality was rejected, together with the merits of the case.

Authors: Dari Victoria
Published: March 2023

Citizenship is a fundamental right, a legal situation, a quality, a legal status. Therefore, fundamental rights are enshrined in constitutions and are determined by the legal status of the citizen, which are essential for citizens, for life, liberty and the development of their personality. These rights are essential only in relation to a company. The fundamental right - the right to citizenship, is a subjective right of citizens of a state, an essential right to life, liberty and dignity, indispensable for the development of human personality, a right established by the Constitution and guaranteed by the Constitution. The article includes the analysis of the guarantees of the right to citizenship in the legal systems analyzed comparatively: continental and Anglo-Saxon law. The authors consider it opportune to first make a brief characterization of the mentioned legal systems, highlighting the main features that bring them closer or distinguish them. The states in both legal systems under review provide in its legislation the possibility of naturalization for persons legally residing in its territories.

Published: March 2023

Atlantoaxial segments have not been discussed in existing studies on prevertebral soft tissue (PVST) swelling after cervical operations. This study aimed to investigate the characteristics of PVST swelling after anterior cervical internal fixation at different segments. This retrospective study included patients who underwent transoral atlantoaxial reduction plate (TARP) internal fixation (Group I, n=73), C3/C4 anterior decompression and vertebral fixation (Group II, n=77), or C5/C6 anterior decompression and vertebral fixation (Group III, n=75) at our Hospital. The PVST thickness at C2, C3, and C4 segments was measured before and 3 days after the operation. Time of extubation, number of patients with postoperative re-intubation and dysphagia were collected. Results show that all patients had significant postoperative PVST thickening (all P<0.01). PVST thickening at C2, C3, and C4 was significantly greater in Group I than in Groups II and III (all P<0.01). PVST thickening at C2, C3, and C4 in Group I was 1.87 (14.12mm/7.54mm), 1.82 (12.90mm/7.07mm) and 1.71 (12.09mm/7.07mm) times of that in Group II, respectively. PVST thickening at C2, C3, and C4 in Group I was 2.66 (14.12mm/5.31mm), 1.50 (12.90mm/8.62mm) and 1.32 (12.09mm/9.18mm) times of that in Group III, respectively. The patients in Group I had significantly later postoperative extubation (Both P<0.01) than the patients in Groups II and III. None of the patients had postoperative re-intubation or dysphagia. We conclude that PVST swelling was greater in patients who underwent TARP internal fixation than in patients who underwent anterior C3/C4 or C5/C6 internal fixation. Hence, after TARP internal fixation, patients should be given proper respiratory tract management and monitoring.
Cervical spine injuries in spinal ankylosing disorders: results of single-stage posterior stabilization without posterolateral fusion

Published: March 2023

Patients with long-segment cervical spinal fusion resulting from spinal ankylosing disorders (SADs) are at high risk for highly unstable cervical spine fractures necessitating surgery as the treatment of choice; however, without an existing gold standard. Specifically, patients without concomitant myelo- pathy, representing a rare entity, may benefit from a minimized surgical approach of a single-stage posterior stabilization without bone grafting for posterolateral fusion. This retrospective monocenter study in a Level I trauma center included all patients treated with navigated posterior stabilization without posterolateral bone grafting between January 2013 and January 2019 for cervical spine fractures in preexisting SADs without myelopathy. The outcomes were analyzed based on complication rates, revision frequency, neurologic deficits, and fusion times and rates. Fusion was evaluated by X-ray and computed tomography. 14 patients (11 male, 3 female) with a mean age of 72.7 ± 17.6 years were included. Five fractures were at the upper and nine at the subaxial cervical spine (predominantly C5-7). There was one surgery-specific complication of postoperative paresthesia. There was no infection, implant loosening, or dislocation, and no revision surgery necessary. All fractures healed after a median time of 4 months and 12 months being the latest time of fusion in one patient. Single-stage posterior stabilization without posterolateral fusion is an alternative for patients with SADs and cervical spine fractures without myelopathy. They can benefit from a minimization of surgical trauma while having equal times of fusion and no increased rate of complications.

L’observation de la Terre à l’échelle locale nécessite de disposer d’images hautement résolues spatialement et spectralement. Les capteurs ne pouvant offrir simultanément de telles résolutions, une solution consiste à exploiter des images acquises par deux instruments optiques différents. Les méthodes de pansharpening hyperspectral, notamment, permettentde combiner une image panchromatique, à haute résolution spatiale, avec une image hyperspectrale, à haute résolution spectrale, afin de générer une nouvelle image hautement résolue spatialement et spectralement. De telles méthodes présentent cependant certaines limitations, en particulier le traitement des pixels mixtes. Cet article présente une nouvelle méthode de pansharpening hyperspectral appelée Spatially Organized Spectral Unmixing (SOSU) et adaptée au traitement de tels pixels. Les performances de cette méthode sont mesurées sur des données synthétiques puis réelles (simulées à partir d’acquisitions aéroportées), à l’aide de critères spatiaux, spectraux et globaux, afin d’évaluer l’apport du traitement des pixels mixtes. En particulier, cet apport est confirmé dans le cas d’un paysage périurbain par une augmentation de près de dix pourcents du taux de pixels mixtes améliorés avec SOSU, par rapport à la méthode utilisée comme référence.

Published: March 2023

Through this, the purpose of this study is to examine the various effects of not wearing a mask in recent years by examining the effect of makeup behavior and the expected value on appearance due to not wearing a mask, and examining the relationship between makeup behavior and purchase intention of color cosmetics. Through this, the purpose of this study is to examine the various effects of not wearing a mask in recent years by examining the effect of makeup behavior and the expected value on appearance due to not wearing a mask, and examining the relationship between makeup behavior and purchase intention of color cosmetics. In order to achieve this objective, 300 women in their 20s and 40s who are sensitive to their appearance were selected from August 26, 2022 to August 30, 2022, using a non-probability sampling method called Convenience Sampling. Data were collected through an Internet-specialized survey company and used in the final thesis. Frequency analysis, factor analysis, reliability test, descriptive statistical analysis, and linear regression analysis were performed using SPSS 18.0 to examine the effect on the expected value of appearance management, makeup behavior, and purchase intention of color cosmetics. As a result of examining the effect of appearance management expectations on makeup behaviors, self-satisfaction expected values are in line with conformity-seeking makeup behaviors, fashion-seeking makeup behaviors, personality-seeking makeup behaviors, change-seeking makeup behaviors, and relationship-seeking makeup behaviors. In pursuit of makeup behavior, fashion-seeking makeup behavior, change-seeking makeup behavior, show-off makeup behavior, relationship-seeking makeup behavior, and conformity-seeking makeup behavior, fashion-seeking makeup behavior, individuality-seeking makeup behavior, show-off makeup behavior, these were found to have an effect on relationship-seeking makeup behavior. Next, as a result of examining the effect of makeup behavior on purchase intention of color cosmetics, fashion-seeking makeup behavior affects both base makeup and point makeup. In conclusion, we can confirm that it is possible to predict the change in the color cosmetics market as not wearing a mask increases the expected value of appearance and affects the makeup behavior. Accordingly, in the beauty industry, it is necessary to develop detailed services and various products that meet the needs of consumers. Furthermore, as the expectations of men's appearance are increasing in line with the expectation of not wearing a mask as a future study, it seems that a study comparing men and women should be conducted.
A Study on Purchase Behavior of Bio Cosmetics Applying the Theory of Planned Behavior(TPB): Mediating Effect of Brand Image
Authors: Choi Mi-Jeong
Published: March 2023

The purpose of this study is to examine the TPB(Theory of Planned Behavior) factors that affect the purchasing behavior of bio cosmetics consumers and to examine the mediating effect of brand image in the relationship between them. In this survey, cosmetics consumers aged 20 or older residing nationwide were selected as the population. Bio-cosmetics consumers in their 20s or older living in the Seoul metropolitan area were selected as a sample group, and an online survey was conducted for about 4 weeks in October 2022. For statistical processing of the collected data, multi-regression analysis and bootstrapping were performed using SPSS 28.0 and SPSS Macro 3.4 to verify the hypothesis. As a result of the study, Attitude, Subjective Norm, and Perceived Behavioral Control had a significant effect on purchase behavior, and the mediating effect of brand image was confirmed. Therefore, in order to increase consumers' purchasing behavior, it seems to be very important in terms of marketing to build an image such as awareness and trust in the brand as well as the functional efficacy of bio-cosmetics. These research results will have great implications for the bio-cosmetics industry preparing for the post-corona era.
A Study on the Makeup Image in the Street Woman Fighter Dancer
Authors: Yang Su-Mi
Published: March 2023

This study studied the image and aesthetic characteristics of the dance crew of ‘Street Woman Fighter’, which leads the recent trend of fashion and beauty. The makeup of the street dance's crew is a strong-looking sister, strong character, and girl crush makeup that emphasizes the eyes, and is clearly outlined with eye lines, red lips, and nude lips. The characteristics of the makeup image were the sensuality of the sexy image, the femininity of the glam image, the chic and modern image, retro of the hiphop image, the androgynous of the boyish image, the exotic of the ethnic image, and the goth of the smoky image. First, sexy image is a makeup that is sensual and has sexual charm. Gold, silver, brown, coral pearls or glittering eye shadow on light brown and gray arched eyebrows, long black eyeliner on long eyelashes, and shiny eyes and thick oversized lips are expressed sexy using nude beige and nude coral lip products. Second, the feminine image of Glam showed femininity with angled eyebrows in black, gray, and brown, and long black eyeliner drawn with Katz Eye, and outline lips of red and nude coral. Third, chic modern makeup expresses an urban and intellectual image, draws straight dark brown eyebrows long, spreads the eye shadow widely on the eyehole line, and draws a black eyeliner to raise the ends of the eyes and express it with red lips. Fourth, ethnic's exotic image expresses the folk image of the West or the East, but the angled eyebrows, straight eyebrows, and eyes are drawn wide and long, and the lips are expressed in the same tone as coral, red lips, and blusher. Fifth, the retro image combines the contour contouring makeup and hip-hop style of the 1990s to express dark brown or black eyeline, burgundy, and orange outcurve lips with braided or reggae hair. Sixth, Boyce's image as a woman and boy shows an out-curved lip line without emphasizing the tail with a strong short-cut hairstyle of Red or Blue, straight eyebrows, and a thick line in Brown Corral's eye shadow. Seventh, Goss is a strong smoky makeup, showing black, dark blue, and dark brown eyeshadow, and eye line black and dark brown lips, showing a distinctive black color overall. As such, makeup expressed in Swoopa is a makeup that is differentiated from existing performances, stage makeup, and girl group makeup, and is somewhat strongly expressed by ordinary women with strong characters or strong sister makeup or girl crush makeup that express a strong image.

A Critical Assessment of The Rising Wave of Criminal Activity and Perceptions of Social Work Roles Among Nigerian Youth
Authors: ÖNAL DÖLEK Bilge , ADELEKE Ajala Dare
Published: March 2023

Aim: Crime is an ongoing phenomenon since the existence of human beings and can be seen in every society. When left unchecked, it becomes worrisome and creates fear in people's minds and causes untold suffering. Especially in developing countries, crime is present in every society, regardless of its level of development, which even hinders the socio-economic development of countries. This study aims to focus on the recently increasing crime rates in Nigeria, especially among the youth, to reveal the possible causes of this alarming trend, to point out the impact on Nigerian society and the pursuit of socio-economic development when left unchecked, and then to propose solutions to this anomaly..
Methodology: This study reads both social learning theory and cultural crime theory as a theoretical guide for the reader. A generative questionnaire design was used. Both quantitative and qualitative analysis were used to address the relationship between youth and crime in Nigeria. The Nigerian who manages to run this wins. The recruitment was from one thousand eight hundred (1800) youth selected from six (6) geopolitical regions in nigeria, selected through a multifaceted recruitment technique that included purposeful, stratified and quota exploitation methods. Qualitative data were analyzed using content analysis and direct citations, while quantitative components were analyzed using microorganisms and inferential statistics.
Results: The gender of participants was found that 66.7% were male and 33.3% were female. Also 20% of the responders are unemployed or graduates. The questions were asked on reasons for the rising numbers of crimes committed by youths, indicate to the not enough policies of the federal to ameliorate this, youth unemployment and ways this menace can be tackled.
Conclusion: These results showed It discovered that unemployment and lack of meaningful empowerment by government, among others, are responsible for high crime rates among youths. It recommends urgent efforts on the part of government to gainfully engage unemployed youths for decent means of livelihood while pointing mostly commensurate penalties and proper rehabilitation/mentorship to perpetrators of crimes to serve as deterrent to others.
An analysis of hours worked per worker in Spain: trends and recent developments
Authors: Cuadrado Mª Pilar
Published: March 2023

Rationale

Changes in working hours are one of the factors that determine the contribution of labour to an economy’s growth. It is therefore worth assessing whether the moderate downward trend observed in this variable over the last four decades is likely to persist.

Takeaways

•The fall in average working hours in Spain between 1987 and 2019 (from 37 to 31.8 hours per week) reflects a range of structural changes in the economy over that period, such as the increase in the weight of the services sector and the rise in part-time work.

•The pandemic accelerated the decline in average working hours, although the most recent data point to a recovery. Nonetheless, overall, the working week is now just over one hour shorter than before the health crisis. The sectors most affected were the contact-intensive ones. Working hours in trade still fall some way short of their historical trend.

•Looking ahead, factors such as demographic ageing, the increasing weight of the services sector and the rise in the part-time employment rate suggest that the downward trend in hours worked per worker could continue.
Analysis of the usability of capital buffers during the crisis precipitated by COVID-19
Authors: Fernández Lafuerza Luis , Lamas Matías , Mencía Javier , Pablos Irene , Vegas Raquel
Published: March 2023

This paper analyses the ability of banks to use voluntary and regulatory capital buffers, taking advantage of the experience of the COVID-19 pandemic. In the first place, we find that the usability of macroprudential buffers is not hampered in Spain by other parallel banks’ requirements. Additionally, we find that the existing voluntary buffers over capital requirements at the beginning of the pandemic have had significant effects on the financial markets, affecting the evolution of European bank stock prices, as well as the holdings of bank shares by investment funds. Lastly, we find no significant aggregate effect of voluntary capital buffers on the provision of financing to non-financial companies in Spain. However, we do identify negative effects in the supply of credit from banks with lower voluntary buffers to companies with which they had more recent relationships. Likewise, if the analysis is carried out exclusively on credit operations without public guarantees, we observe that those banks with lower voluntary capital buffers reduced credit more.

Malaria is on of the most serious health problems despite the existence of preventive and curatuive measures. Nearly 40% of the world’s population is exposed to this parasitosis. This research is carried out through a cross-descriptive approach correlating it. We used the survey method, supported by the interview technique guided by a simple questionnaire. To analyze our data, we used calculations of the arithmetic mean ; stadard deviation, coefficient of variation, Student t test, Snedecor’s F ratio and multivariate regression. The summary of the results is as follows :

Overall, knowlodge of malaria among pregnant women in the health zone of Alunguli is insufficient. The yield reflecting this knowledge is less than 50%. This invalidated the first hypothesis.

The variable age, parity, level of education, marittal status and health area of residence of the subjects did not influence knowledge of malaria. Therefore, are not determinants of it. This invalidated the second hypothesis.

The LWAMA health centre is one of the private and integrated health facilities in the Kindu health area, which is eccentric in relation to the vast majority of its population, with low attendance due to the distance to be travelled, which is not only an obstacle to access to primary health care but also a problem of road accessibility. These situations were the basis for the creation of private structures which subsequently became part of national policy to organise curative and preventive activities for the benefit of a section of the population in this health area according to the standards. Their impact was measured using the quantitative method, which involved the collection of secondary statistical data available in the DHIS2 (District Heath Information Software). Static data on the use of curative and preventive services were collected, processed, and analysed to determine the contribution of the 3 integrated private health facilities in the SA to curative and preventive performance. The results obtained at the end of this study showed a positive impact and are of great implication, particularly in terms of the importance that the Ministry of Health attaches to the "public-private partnership for health" with a view to improving the health system and making it resilient; this state of affairs enabled us to formulate recommendations likely to remind each stakeholder of their responsibilities in this area.

Assess associations and perinatal adverse outcomes related to macrosomia. An observational, analytical and cross-sectional study was carried out, focusing on adverse perinatal outcomes related to macrosomia, carried out in a Public Maternity Hospital in the south of Brazil, from August to December 2020. The sample consisted of postpartum women, divided into two groups, with and without associated macrosomia. In calculating the adjusted odds ratio (OR), a confidence interval (CI) of 95% was used. Confounding factors adopted were: age, prematurity, previous cesarean sections, smoking, alcoholism and other drugs. Postpartum women who had macrosomic newborns >4000 g (n=119/7.1%) and non-macrosomic <4000 g (n=1551/92.8%). Regarding maternal characteristics, patients with macrosomic newborns had greater weight gain during pregnancy, when compared to pregnant women with non-macrosomic newborns. After calculating the adjusted odds ratio, it was observed that only the significance of excessive weight gain increases the chance of macrosomic newborns with OR 2.0 (95%CI 1.3-2.9).
Cartography of archaeoastronomical techniques in the Calçoene equinoctial cromlech
Authors: Silva Olavo Fagundes da
Published: March 2023

The AP-CA-18 archaeological site of Calçoene, located in the northern Brazilian Amazon, has a megalithic arrangement in the shape of an irregular circle, constituting a cromlech with menhirs of azimuths and well-defined zenith angles. From the perspective of current academic astronomy, it prints a strict relationship with the observation of astronomical events, notably equinoxes and solstices. Without intending to interfere in the anthropological studies of the social group that built it, this work, based on cartography and support in geotechnologies, analyzed the shapes, layout, orientation and alignment of the menhirs in the archaeological site and their relationship with astronomical events. Data treatment and adjustments and image generation were performed in GIS. Based on the analyses, it was possible to establish the relationship between the spatial arrangement of the menhirs and the observation of techniques such as projection of sunlight/shadow ray and absence of shadow for alignment and confirmation of astronomical events. The work presents cartography with images of identification, characterization and classification of menhirs in the spatial arrangement and their relationship with the observation of astronomical events from the perspective of current academic astronomy.

The objective of this study was to identify the factors that influence the oral health of children with autism spectrum disorder. The methodology was designed to perform an integrative literature review developed in six steps, in which the guiding question was elaborated through the PICo strategy. Thus, bibliographic searches were conducted in the PubMed, EBSCOHost and Scielo databases, in which 111 publications were found and with the application of selection criteria 25 articles were chosen for the development of this review. Oral care of children with autism spectrum disorder requires patience, attention and understanding of the degree of intellectual capacity of these children. Educational strategies aimed at guardians, educators, and people involved in the evolution of these children can be instrumental in changing oral hygiene habits and in raising awareness of the importance of prevention. Furthermore, since autism spectrum disorder is a unique condition, proper management and preparation of dental surgeons is advantageous and allows many barriers of care to be circumvented.

This article aims to describe orocraniofacial alterations in children with Congenital Zika Syndrome. A descriptive case series study was carried out with 20 children with the syndrome, attended at a rehabilitation center in the city of Recife, Pernambuco, Brazil. The presence of oral, craniofacial and neurological alterations, oral health condition and gestational period were evaluated. Data were obtained from medical records and interviews with the children's mothers, followed by a physical examination. Among the main alterations found are microcephaly, craniofacial disproportion, epicanthal folds, bruxism, anterior open bite, ankyloglossia, tongue interposition and delay in teeth eruption. The child may have difficulty reporting any discomfort due to neurological impairment, therefore, these findings reinforce the importance of preventive dental consultations and the performance of the dental surgeon in the elaboration of protocols and guidelines aimed at providing a better quality of life for these patients.

Published: March 2023

Based on a qualitative research with students from two schools in Porto Velho-RO, this work seeks to analyze these students' imaginary to identify the representations they formed about the Spanish language, aiming to discuss their interest in the language and identity formation.Thus, starting from the captured and analyzed images/representations, the conditions under which these discourses are produced are also discussed, taking into account the interdiscursive aspects. The theoretical core used is formed by discursive studies (CORACINI, 2007; ORLANDI, 1999; REVUZ, 1998), by cultural studies (HALL, 2009; RAJAGOPALAN, 1998; WOODWARD, 2011) and by social studies (ALTHUSSER, 1974; MEKSENAS, 1994), using the analytical device of the French Discourse Analysis. The analysis showed that the students' interest in Spanish is linked to internal confrontations and contradictions resulting from the unconscious that fears taking distance from themselves and their culture. Therefore, identity, in continuous formation, is constituted through symbolic processes and images, crossed by the discourses of others and of the other.
