O presente trabalho tem como objetivo principal ressaltar a desinformação imposta às mulheres que viviam no interior durante o período da ditadura militar brasileira. Nesse contexto, será realizada uma análise da era de Médici, estabelecendo uma comparação com a obra "As meninas"(Telles, 1973) , visto que a história contada é uma crítica a esse período, no que se refere a censura e machismo, permitindo por sua vez uma compreensão aprofundada das experiências desfavoráveis vividas pelas mulheres interioranas dessa época conturbada. Para comprovar nossa tese, realizamos uma pesquisa bibliográfica acerca da obra “As meninas" (Telles, 1973), junto a um formulário que visa destacar a constatação de que o gênero feminino, particularmente aquelas provenientes de áreas rurais, enfrentou uma carência de informações significativas sobre os acontecimentos da ditadura, onde muitas vezes eram permissivas a situações discriminatórias, excluídas do contexto político, se sujeitando a práticas machistas de estereotipar suas verdadeiras opiniões acerca do momento caótico que foi a ditadura militar no Brasil. O intuito que essa abordagem desperta nos leitores é uma conscientização mais substancial acerca da repressão histórica que as mulheres enfrentaram no contexto brasileiro e seus reais impactos psicossociais. Sendo assim, este estudo representa um aspecto que elucida as mulheres negligenciadas, do assunto ditadura militar: O impacto desproporcional sobre as mulheres em regiões menos visíveis do país ao enfatizar as histórias e os desafios enfrentados por essas mulheres. Esperamos dessa maneira contribuir para uma compreensão mais completa da história e promover um diálogo significativo sobre a desigualdade de gênero e os efeitos duradouros da desinformação em contextos autoritários, a fim de dar voz às mulheres que foram silenciadas ou expostas à censura da realidade.

Published: July 2024

Two separate experiments carried out to study effect of in ovo betaine supplementation during normal as well as elevated incubation condition on post-hatch broiler performance. In experiment 1, fertile eggs (400 nos) incubated under 4 different groups and standard hatchery parameters were noted. In ovo administration of betaine was carried out on 18th day at the rate of 20 mg (T1 ), 40 mg (T2), 60 mg (T3) and 0 mg (T4) dissolved in 0.1 ml of PBS/egg. In experiment around 400 eggs were injected betaine at (T1), 50 (T2), PBS at 0.1 ml (T3) and µn-injected control (0 mg) (T4). In ovo injection was carried out at 10th day of incubation as per standard protocol. After 48 h following betaine injection (12th day), the setter temperature had increased to 103±0.5°F from for 99±1°F in all the groups for a period 5 days (12 to 17 days of incubation). Chicks were hatched out and transferred to experimental house by maintained them in respective groups and distributed evenly into six replicates in each group. The in ovo betaine supplementation did not affect the hatchability percentage, hatch weight but improved the starter phase production performance. However, in ovo betaine administration followed by thermal conditioning adversely affected the hatchability percentage. The post hatch performance, i.e. production, immunity and serum biochemical profile were comparable among all the treatment groups. In conclusion, the overall production of broiler chicken during early phase of life can be positively improved by in ovo betaine supplementation with normal incubation temperature.
An Autoethnographic Examination of 1990s Film as a Site of Critical Public Pedagogy
Authors: Grover Ash
Published: July 2024

This research is an exploration of my evolving relationship with popular culture: as an activist, an educator, and a self-described pop-culture geek. Combining aspects of critical analytic autoethnography (Taber, 2012) with feminist discourse analysis (Lazar, 2007), I examine three key films: Scream (Craven, 1996), Practical Magic(Dunne, 1998), and Disturbing Behavior (Nutter, 1998), as well as three characters in these films whom I identify as having had a large influence on me as a teenager, particularly in fostering my ongoing (un)learning surrounding the willful subject (Ahmed, 2014). These three characters are Sidney Prescott from Scream, Sally Owens from Practical Magic, and Rachel Wagner from Disturbing Behavior.
Designing A Peer Leader Training Manual for Community-Based Sexual Health Research
Authors: Kteily-Hawa Roula
Published: July 2024

This paper recounts the development and implementation of the Peer Leader Training Manual for the Story-Sharing for Sexual Health Research (SSSH) Study conducted in Toronto, Canada. In the disciplinary integration of health and adult education, the community-engaged health research reported here reflects the successful partnership of academic researchers with a community-based organization. Eight South Asian women peer leaders were collectively recruited and trained as research associates to explore how stories (relative to fact sheets) can be used to promote dialogue and knowledge about sexual health and reduce HIV stigma among South Asian women. This paper is about the adult education tool used to orient them to the SSSH Study and train them for related field work: recruit participants, arrange intervention site and logistics, deliver intervention, administer pre and post surveys, conduct focus groups, and ensure data security. The manual played a significant role in training the peer leaders to further engage in future community health partnerships. This tool will also be helpful for other community-engaged health research involving sexual health initiatives in vulnerable communities.
Strengthening Democracy Through Participation and Critical Adult Education
Authors: Sanches Marlon
Published: July 2024

Reducing education to pure technique is to anesthetize curiosity (Freire, 1997). Neoliberal policies privilege private interests and promote a model of education based on competition and consumerism (Harvey, 2005). This model of education perpetuates and increases inequalities. It also affects education whose priority is not to deliver learners with an immediate financial return. I claim that critical citizenship education and adult education principles have the potential to oppose the neoliberal forces in education. Additionally, promoting a “thick” vision of democracy (Carr, 2008) underpinned in citizens’ participation is a strong tool to counter neoliberal policies. In this study, I will look into the Brazilian participatory budget initiative as a tool to promote democracy and citizenship. Finally, I will propose a theoretical framework that incorporates strong adult education principles to strengthen democracy in times of neoliberalism.

Published: July 2024

The research explored the dimensions of resilience skill as a competence on employee contextual performance. To explore the dimensions of resilience skill as a competence on employee contextual performance, the author employed a survey approach among retail employees in Bandung. The sample consisted of 74 employees who willingly participated in the study. The model's predictions were tested using non-parametric PLS-SEM, preceded by validity and reliability testing of the research instruments. The results of exploring the dimensions of resilience skill as a competence on employee contextual performance revealed that all dimensions significantly impacted employee contextual performance. It is essential to acknowledge the limitations of this research, which include the focus on resilience as a competence and the use of a limited sample size through a cross-sectional survey. These limitations suggest that the findings may only be generalizable to some contexts. Further research is needed to explore other competencies and consider longitudinal studies for a more comprehensive understanding of the relationship between resilience, self-efficacy, and contextual performance.

Indian Counterforce Capabilities and the New Era of Preemption in South Asia
Authors: Rehman Sidra
Published: July 2024

The new era of counterforce in the contemporary world could unfold itself as a new era of preemption in South Asia. It is characterised by increasing vulnerabilities in nuclear arsenals and delivery systems, however, prompting a vigorous development of countermeasures to mitigate these strategic vulnerabilities. India is increasing its counterforce capabilities considerably. Apart from improving its capabilities of target acquisition, accuracy of its delivery systems and reducing their time to hit the target, India is likely to make necessary shifts in its nuclear doctrine. These factors will provide India with the incentives for preemption against Pakistan in the future. The possibility of a counterforce strike can create instability in the region. To mitigate the threat posed by India's advancing counterforce capabilities, Pakistan should enhance its ISR capabilities, develop ASAT capabilities, improve missile accuracy and speed, and bolster survivability.
Electoral Expediency: A Case Study of the Pulwama Incident and its Impact on Indian General Elections 2019
Authors: Kazmi Adeel
Published: July 2024

This paper explains how Modi's government aligned its offensive military actions (targeting Pakistan) in the wake of the Pulwama incident with the ruling party's ideological stance of right-wing populism. The net outcome of this adroit strategy saw the BJP bolster its electoral strength amidst its initially dwindling electoral position in 2019. The author draws inspiration from literature that connects right-wing populism and Hindu nationalism in relation to the shifting political dynamics in India. The core hypothesis of the study posits that Modi's aggressive military response during the Pulwama/Balakot crisis significantly influenced voter perceptions and contributed to the BJP's electoral success in 2019. The ensuing analysis probes the publicly reported instances wherein strategic use of national security rhetoric and military achievements was made to galvanise nationalist sentiments. This study highlights the broader implications of right-wing populism and Hindu nationalism on India's political and societal dynamics, raising concerns about the possibility of employment of military instrument for political advantage.
Quellen, Leben und Verehrung Theodards
Authors: Kern Rudolf
Published: July 2024

Die hier vorgelegte Abhandlung über Quellen, Leben und Nachleben Theodards stellt eine erste eingehendere Untersuchung dieses bisher wenig bekannten Bischofs von Maastricht dar. Im Teil A der Schrift findet man alle Theodard betreffenden Quellenzeugnisse vom 7. bis 14. Jahrhundert in lateinischer und deutscher Sprache mit einführenden Erklärungen nebeneinander zusammengestellt. Diese Quellentexte bilden das Fundament jeder ernsthaften Beschäftigung mit Theodard sowohl für Historiker als auch Nicht-Historiker. Im Teil B wurde auf dieser Grundlage und mit Hilfe weiterer Quellen sowie älterer und neuerer Sekundärliteratur ein, so gut es geht, fassbares Lebensbild Theodards vor dem Hintergrund seiner Zeit erstellt. Theodards Eckdaten lauten: geboren vor 620 im Frankenreich Galliens, um 650 Bischof von Maastricht, ermordet zwischen 670 und 673/675 fernab seines Bischofssitzes am Nordrand des Bienwaldes bei Rülzheim nahe Speyer, nachdem er in eine Unglücksspirale geraten war. Seine Reise in die Fremde blieb ohne Wiederkehr; nur seine zerstückelten Gebeine fanden den Weg zurück. Teil C des Buches bietet eine ausführliche, illustrierte Verehrungsgeschichte des heiligen Bischofs und Märtyrers über die Jahrhunderte hin bis heute, sowohl im nördlichen Raum der Bistümer Maastricht, Lüttich und Roermond wie im südlichen Raum des Bistums Speyer am Rhein. Zu größerer Bekanntheit wuchs Theodard nie heran. Er blieb immer ein Regional- oder Lokalheiliger. Und doch wird man sagen dürfen: Ohne ihn wäre die Propriumsgeschichte der Diözesen im Norden wie Süden des ehemaligen Merowingerreiches Austrasien sehr viel ärmer ausgefallen. Prof. em. Dr. Rudolf Kern (geb. 1938) verfasste in seinem Berufsleben in Belgien hauptsächlich Fachliteratur zur Germanistik. In seinem Ruhestand schrieb er (2014) ein historisches Werk über den frühen Demokraten Victor Tedesco und die Geschichte Belgiens und Luxemburgs. Dann (2020) eine Monographie über die Rülzheimer Sprache mit Grammatik, Wortschatz und Namenkunde. Mit dieser religionsgeschichtlichen Studie über Theodard von Maastricht schließt er seine sprachlichen und historischen Forschungen zu den Kulturräumen der Südniederlande und der Pfalz ab, die ihm während seines langen Lebenslaufes zugleich ein angenehmes persönliches Zuhause boten.
Capnocytophaga ochracea Septicemia After a Dog Bite: The Case of a Usual Suspect Transmitting an Unusual Organism
Authors: Chang Clifford , Atthota Vakula , Lord Madison , Bonk Michael P. , Durrani Muhammad
Published: July 2024

Introduction: Capnocytophaga ochracea is found in the human oral microbiome and is a rare cause of antibiotic-resistant, opportunistic septicemia in immunocompromised hosts. The zoonotic transmission of C ochracea from canines to humans has not yet been reported in the literature. Cohabitation with people is associated with oral colonization in dogs and may be a reservoir for Capnocytophaga infections, which have a decreased susceptibility to ﬁrst-line antibiotics commonly used to treat animal exposures. Case Report: This is the case of a 70-year-old male with a remote history of lymphoma status post splenectomy, in remission, who presented with stigmata of Capnocytophaga septicemia after a dog bite, which included purpura fulminans on physical examination. Initial broad-spectrum coverage with cefepime failed to slow the progression into multiorgan failure. A Capnocytophaga strain with extended resistance was suspected. Antibiotics were transitioned to meropenem, and the patient eventually made a good recovery. Blood cultures isolated C ochracea. Conclusion: Capnocytophaga infections should be suspected in patients with severe sepsis and purpura fulminans after a canine exposure. Canine pets may be a reservoir for Capnocytophaga species with increased antibiotic resistances, such as C ochracea, which trace their origins to the human oral microbiome. A thorough medical history is essential to identify risk factors such as asplenia and active immune compromise that are associated with infections from antibiotic-resistant strains and worse outcomes. For Capnocytophaga infections that fail initial therapies, cephalosporins should be avoided because of high resistance rates, and the use of carbapenems may be favored over combination beta-lactam/beta-lactamase inhibitors in select clinical scenarios.

Authors: Shrivastava Omkar Lal , Narain Kuldeep , Shrivastava Sumita
Published: July 2024

In this paper, the solution of five series equations involving generalized Bateman k-functions is obtained by reducing them to Fredholm integral equation of the second kind. The solution presented in this paper is obtained by employing the techniques of Narain and Lal [11] involving generalized Bateman k-functions by reducing them to the solution of a Fredholm inregral equation of second kind with different bounday conditions. Thus we have seen that Bateman k-functions are having interesting properties to solve double, triple, quadruple and five series equations as special functions. These solutions are very useful in Mathematical and Quantum Physics, Aero and Fluid Dynamics and Thermodynamics.

Acne vulgaris, a chronic inflammatory disease of the pilosebaceous unit, is the most common skin condition. Propionibacterium acnes and Staphylococcus aureus are two bacteria that can cause infections. Chinese Petai leaves are known to inhibit acne growth. Sidaguri leaves are also thought to have antibacterial activity. The aims of this study were to determine the effect of the combination of the two extracts on inhibiting the growth of acne-causing bacteria, also to test the gel formula to meet physical and chemical parameters as well as stability to temperature and storage, as well as to test acute dermal. irritation to rabbits. Each extract with a concentration of 0.19%; 0.39%; 0.78%; 1.56%; 3.125%; 6.25%; 12.5%; 25%; 50% were incubated and then the inhibition zone was measured, then the minimum inhibition zone concentration of the two extracts was determined to determine the lowest concentration of the extract that still provided antibacterial activity against the tested bacteria using the well-diffusion method. The extract combination is formulated in a gel preparation with Carbopol 940, Propylene glycol, Phenoxyethanol, TEA, and Aquadest as excipients. Test the antibacterial activity of gel preparations using the well method with positive control clindamycin gel. Then evaluation of the formula includes evaluation of physics, chemistry, and microbiology. The results showed that the combination gel had activity against P. acne and Staphylococcus aureus at a concentration of 3.12% : 1.56%. The combined gel preparation of the two extracts also has a synergistic effect in inhibiting acne bacteria. The formula is resistant to temperature and storage, and it can satisfy chemical and physical parameters.

Mugwort (genus Artemisia) is a skincare ingredient originating from a South Korean beauty trend having antioxidant properties and is currently popular globally. The aim of this research is to formulate and determine the antioxidant activity of anti-aging serum containing Mugwort (Artemisia capillaris) and Vitamin C extract as antioxidants. All formulas were adjusted to a pH range of 5.0 – 5.2.  Each formula was characterized based on antioxidant activity using the DPPH method. Serum with mugwort extract (F1) and serum with a combination of mugwort extract and vitamin C (F3) show strong antioxidant activity with an IC50 of 99.70 and 82.92 ppm, respectively. Anti-aging serum containing mugwort (Artemisia capillaris) extract and vitamin C provides strong antioxidant activity with an IC50 of 82.92 ppm (F3).
Support of the flora of the spa therapeutic landscape
Authors: Marek Miroslav
Published: July 2024

The developed method of supporting the growth and vitality of cultivated forest trees, ornamental shrubs, grassy areas and flora in spa parks, forest parks and spa forest stands consists in the application of ectomycorrhizal, or endomycorrhizal fungi, which can utilize a much larger volume of soil with the help of extramatrical hyphae than the root hairs of non-mycorrhizal plants alone. Resistance to phytopathogenic fungi is significantly reduced by a lack of moisture (during summer droughts). Therefore, the addition of biochar, natural polysaccharides based on carrageenan, alginate or xanthan, humic substances, peat and crushed bork (preferably disintegrated using hydrodynamic cavitation) and a porous inorganic carrier significantly contributes to the protection of the flora. In ongoing symbiosis between plants and added mycorrhizal fungi, there is mutual influence of nutrient exchange between the mycorrhizal fungus and the host plant, and these physiological processes are mainly manifested in nutrient cycling in ecosystems. The increased vitality of plants contributes to the creation of a pleasant, healthy environment in spa forests, forest parks and gardens.

Authors: Liu Jia
Published: July 2024

Introduction: In the era of "Internet +," government new media plays an indispensable role in guiding positive public opinion. Despite the implementation of China’s Double Reduction policy, some local governments' responses to public opinion still need improvement. This study aimed to investigate the characteristics and patterns of the verbal and visual modes in public opinion response discourse on government new media and provide suggestions for these platforms to handle public events more effectively.
Methodology: This study was conducted using multimodal analysis of 68 microblogs responding to the Double Reduction policy from the official Weibo of People’s Daily, Xinhua News Agency and CCTV News. Based on the systemic functional grammar and visual grammar, this research explored the verbal mode in terms of ideational, interpersonal and textual metafunctions and the visual mode in terms of the representational, interactive and compositional meanings of government new media discourse.
Results: The findings indicated that verbal response from government new media mainly consisted of heading, hashtags and texts, and the visual includes images and videos. The visual mode was in line with the verbal mode to respond to public concerns at issue. The information conveyed was strengthened by the application of images or complemented by the images.
Conclusion: This study contributes to establishing the image of government authority. By capturing the potential meaning of verbal and visual modes, this study also provides some suggestions for improving the discourse quality of government new media when responding to public events.
