ELABORAÇÃO DO PASSADO PELA NARRAÇÃO: ANÁLISE DE "OBSERVAÇÕES DE UMA CIDADÃ" DE SVETLANA ALEXIEVICH
Authors: Destri Alana , Marchezan Renata Coelho
Published: July 2023

De acordo com a estudiosa Jeanne Marie Gagnebin (2006), Walter Benjamin e Theodor Adorno tiveram papel de destaque no avanço do estudo da memória em diversos campos do conhecimento. Dada sua importância, a memória está longe de ser apenas um objeto de estudo. Abordá-la a partir dos escritos desses pensadores, é também uma tarefa ética. Na esteira da reflexão sobre o passado a fim de resgatar o ser humano e humanizar a história, destaca-se a obra da jornalista bielorrussa Svetlana Aleksiévitch. A autora dialogou com testemunhas da derrocada da União Soviética e reuniu os relatos em sua obra O fim do homem soviético. Um dos relatos, separado dos outros, o último capítulo, intitulado "Observações de uma cidadã", mostra-se relevante para evidenciar o conteúdo histórico sedimentado em diálogo com conceitos propostos por Adorno e Benjamin. A partir do contraponto entre o capítulo e o projeto de Svetlana Aleksiévitch, buscou-se, então, ressaltar a narração como ferramenta importante no processo de elaboração do passado.
PINTURAS DE SI: A ARTE NARRATIVA DE FRIDA KAHLO
Authors: Silveira Mariane Rocha , Aquino Ivânia Campigotto
Published: July 2023

O presente artigo científico tem como objetivo principal analisar duas obras pictóricas de cunho autobiográfico de Frida Kahlo, Mi vestido Cuelga Ahí e Recuerdos o El Corazón, à luz das teorias de Philippe Lejeune (2014) e de Franco Moretti (2014), respectivamente sobre as marcas autobiográficas de uma obra artística e sobre os momentos decisivos e os enchimentos de uma narrativa, nesse caso, uma narrativa artística. Para tanto, primeiramente, realiza-se, de forma breve, um recorte das teorias dos referidos autores; em seguida, delineia-se uma parte da vida da pintora mexicana, focalizando os aspectos que colaboram no processo de criação das pinturas selecionadas e, por último, procede-se a efetiva realização da análise. Os resultados parciais, visto que o estudo se encontra em andamento, apontam para a construção de uma narrativa de si por parte da artista mexicana, tecida por meio de um elemento em comum, um vestido estilo tehuano, como marca de sua identidade como mulher e como artista.
AS TRÊS MARIAS E O PROTAGONISMO DAS TRABALHADORAS: SUBMISSÃO, CONTESTAÇÃO E AMOR FALHADO EM PERSONAGENS DA LITERATURA PORTUGUESA HIPERCONTEMPORÂNEA
Authors: Angelini Paulo Ricardo Kralik
Published: July 2023

Além da coincidência do nome Maria, as três personagens analisadas neste artigo carregam outras marcas comuns: são trabalhadoras exploradas pelo jogo do poder, subalternizadas, domesticadas, vítimas de abuso, convivem com a arrogância e o preconceito de seus patrões em um Portugal em crise. As três Marias, a da Graça, a dos Canos Serrados e a da Guia, são personagens da literatura portuguesa hipercontemporânea, construídas em diferentes perspectivas narrativas. A primeira carrega o foco narrativo de uma voz heterodiegética, em o apocalipse dos trabalhadores, de Valter Hugo Mãe; a segunda é a narradora autodiegética do livro homônimo de Ricardo Adolfo; e a terceira é uma importante personagem, ainda que coadjuvante, de Os meus sentimentos, de Dulce Maria Cardoso. As três procuram assumir algum tipo de protagonismo contra o silenciamento, possuem no amor uma chance de felicidade, mas constituem-se como seres rompidos, vazios, elementos descartáveis dentro da sociedade portuguesa, e recebem, a todo momento, os sinais de proibição a espaços que socialmente não lhe cabem, seguindo a tendência de segregação social. Este artigo pretende recuperar essas vozes em entrecruzamento, mostrando o papel dessas mulheres excluídas nas narrativas e suas lutas contra o poder estabelecido. Como referencial teórico, autores como Michel Foucault, Linda Hutcheon, Umberto Eco, Byung-Chul Han, Erich Fromm, Judith Butler, Eduardo Lourenço, Regina Dalcastagnè, Silviano Santiago, entre outros.
ESCRITURA, CUERPO Y MEMORIA EN ENEMIGO DE JOSÉ CARLOS AGÜERO
Authors: Artigas María Emilia
Published: July 2023

José Carlos Agüero, historiador, escritor, activista de derechos humanos e hijo de ex senderistas se presenta como una de las voces y escrituras del yo que dan cuenta de su experiencia traumática durante el conflicto armado peruano (1980-2000) entre el Ejército Peruano y los grupos Sendero Luminoso y Movimiento Revolucionario Túpac Amaru. En este trabajo nos proponemos analizar la importancia de las voces y los cuerpos en su poemario Enemigo (2017). Para ello, evaluaremos la configuración del sujeto poético en vinculación con la figura de los enemigos y de los restos y revisaremos distintas nociones sobre el sujeto lírico (BÜRGER, 1974; MIGNOLO, 1982; MONTELEONE, 2016). Encontramos en dicha obra que el lenguaje poético se convierte en un discurso que posibilita la reflexión en torno a la violencia y a las configuraciones de la memoria durante el post conflicto.
MEJORAR LA FLUIDEZ LECTORA CON VIDEOJUEGOS: GALEXIA

Published: July 2023

EEl presente trabajo tiene como objetivo profundizar teóricamente sobre las prestaciones del empleo de videojuegos para el entrenamiento de la fluidez lectora, específicamente mediante el uso de la aplicación para la educación: Galexia. Aprender a leer es una de las tareas más difíciles a la que se enfrentan los niños en la escuela. Leer permite conocer y comprehender el mundo que nos rodea, cuando leemos hay información implícita en el texto y el lector debe hacer inferencias, usar información contextual, relacionarla con conocimientos previos, y a partir de esas acciones comprehender lo que está leyendo. El aprendizaje de la lectura comienza enseñando al niño habilidades de fluidez lectora, que se refieren a leer rápido, sin errores y con entonación. Los videojuegos cada día son empleados con mayor regularidad como vía de ocio, lo cual invita a releer las prestaciones de dicha herramienta para su uso en el entrenamiento de funciones cognitivas, específicamente de la fluidez lectora. El videojuego “Galexia” fue diseñado como una herramienta para entrenar la fluidez lectora. Basado en el método de lectura repetida y lectura acelerada, este videojuego ha sido probado en el contexto español con muestras de diversas edades, con desarrollo normal, dificultades lectoras, y/o dislexia.
JUEGOS ARGENTINOS: ESCRITA, MEMÓRIA E ESQUECIMENTO EM LA CASA DE LOS CONEJOS, DE LAURA ALCOBA
Authors: Gomes Analice Sousa , Ribeiro Renata Rocha
Published: July 2023

O objetivo deste trabalho é analisar os possíveis significados contidos no processo de escrita, rememoração e esquecimento da narradora-personagem no romance La casa de los conejos, da escritora argentina Laura Alcoba, publicado em 2008. Assim, serão apresentadas ideias que demonstrem as relações entre a memória e o esquecimento do trauma e a escrita de si. Nesse sentido, será observado como os desdobramentos do ato de escrever episódios da história individual e coletiva ocultada, do período da ditadura militar na argentina de 1970, possibilitam o rompimento de ciclos de silêncios e medos, auxiliado pela representação de jogos, nessa narrativa. Como fundamentação teórica, serão utilizados os pressupostos de Candau (2021), Gagnebin, (2009) entre outros, sob uma pesquisa qualitativa de cunho analítico-interpretativa.
O ENSAIO PESSOAL COMO FORÇA MOTRIZ EM DUAS OBRAS DA LITERATURA BRASILEIRA CONTEMPORÂNEA
Authors: Amabile Luís Roberto , Dollo Linardi Frederico
Published: July 2023

Por meio dos conceitos acerca do ensaio pessoal, este artigo apresenta alguns dos atributos deste gênero literário que tomou forma e força desde o surgimento do ensaio em si, com Michel de Montaigne, desenvolvendo-se e firmando-se também com autores anglo-saxões. Após apresentar alguns desses traços gerais segundo ensaístas que refletiram sobre o gênero – como o próprio Montaigne, Alexander Smith, Virginia Woolf e Max Bense –, o artigo se detém sobre quatro elementos do ensaio pessoal segundo a análise do teórico e ensaísta Phillip Lopate, sejam eles: o componente conversacional; honestidade, confissão e privacidade; contrações e expansões do ser; e o papel da contrariedade. A partir deles, identificamos a presença dessas características em duas obras da literatura brasileira contemporânea: Pai, pai, de João Silvério Trevisan; e Meus desacontecimentos, de Eliane Brum.
DE LA ANGUSTIA A LA TEORÍA. LECTURAS DE FAULKNER EN AMÉRICA LATINA
Authors: Alonso Mercedes
Published: July 2023

En América Latina, el concepto de influencia suele describir la relación que las literaturas nacionales o continentales establecen con referentes de los sistemas centrales (Europa, luego EE. UU.). Usado acríticamente, el término delata un presupuesto de dependencia que supone la incapacidad de las literaturas periféricas para producir formas propias o les asigna la única tarea de introducir modificaciones temáticas que destaquen la diferencia. Este artículo propone mostrar y reflexionar sobre algunas variantes que aparecen en la crítica sobre un caso particular, el que liga a Faulkner con algunos escritores latinoamericanos. A partir de las relecturas de la “influencia” que elaboran Mark Frisch, Ángel Rama y Josefina Ludmer, se trazan las líneas iniciales de un proceso que tiende a superar el marco conceptual dependiente mediante la formulación de un comparatismo latinoamericano que rechaza la idea de la influencia como imitación y de la crítica como receptora de modelos teóricos importados.
EL MAGO Y LA REINA COJA
Authors: Valencia Leonardo
Published: July 2023

En 1967, en uno de los ensayos de Corriente alterna, Octavio Paz trazó un panorama sobre la situación de la literatura latinoamericana:¿Han cambiado mucho las cosas cincuenta y cuatro años después cuando escribo estas líneas? España ha vuelto a ser el centro, y ya no solo Madrid sino también Barcelona, un centro que podríamos decir bipolar. Si invertimos los adjetivos de Paz como quien invierte los polos magnéticos: ¿podemos decir que hay un nacionalismo argentino y una anglofilia mexicana que carecen de sensibilidad hacia el resto de América Latina? Mientras respondemos esa pregunta que, por supuesto, tiene varios matices y excepciones,
LA MARCA Y LA CRÍTICA. SOBRE EL QUEHACER CRÍTICO CONTEMPORÁNEO EN AMÉRICA LATINA
Authors: Pandiani Yamila M.
Published: July 2023

Los estudios sobre el modernismo suelen centrarse, inicialmente, en los escritores del período 1880-1920 y, mayoritariamente, en materia poética. La intención de este artículo es indagar en el consenso al que ha arribado la crítica literaria en torno al Modernismo Hispanoamericano, desde una perspectiva latinoamericana, en el período 1990-2010, con el objeto de determinar si puede observarse, en el tratamiento del episodio crítico en cuestión, un viraje desde la metodología de la crítica textual hacia la de los estudios culturales y poscoloniales. A tales fines se esboza desde una periodización tentativa, una puesta en serie del trabajo de Susana Zanetti, Sylvia Molloy y Graciela Montaldo en el período señalado.

Mujeres indígenas en la violencia político-militar: La construcción de un campo de estudios sobre memoria, género, y militancia en Chile, y Argentina
Authors: Zalaquett Aquea Cherie
Published: July 2023

Pese a la urgente necesidad de ampliar el horizonte de conocimientos sobre los pueblos originarios de Nuestramérica, la estrategia estatal de la democracia neoliberal chilena ha optado por criminalizar las demandas de las comunidades mapuches que se declaran en resistencia al capitalismo y reivindican el derecho a la autodeterminación en sus tierras ancestrales. Esta política configura un posterrorismo de Estado que abre un complejo dispositivo de problemas para la investigación académica del sujeto femenino indígena militante en contextos de violencia político-militar. Por ello, se requiere afinar los instrumentos teóricos y metodológicos para la producción de conocimientos en este campo. En el primer momento abordo la construcción de un nuevo concepto de militancia para el estudio de sujetos vinculados a organizaciones clandestinas, y al margen de la ley. En el segundo momento doy cuenta de las tensiones que enfrentan las categorías de género, memoria y temporalidad ante los sujetos indígenas, para concluir con algunas reflexiones finales sobre los desafíos teóricos y prácticos que nos plantea esta forma de violencia étnica en Chile y Argentina.

Different Forms of Plasticity Interact in Adult Humans
Authors: Sarı İzel D. , Lunghi Claudia
Published: July 2023

Neuroplasticity is maximal during development and declines in adulthood, especially for sensory cortices. On the other hand, the motor and prefrontal cortices retain plasticity throughout the lifespan. This difference has led to a modular view of plasticity in which different brain regions have their own plasticity mechanisms that do not depend or translate on others. Recent evidence shows that visual and motor plasticity share common neural mechanisms (e.g., GABAergic inhibition), indicating a possible link between these different forms of plasticity, however, the interaction between visual and motor plasticity has never been tested directly. Here, we show that when visual and motor plasticity are elicited at the same time in adult humans, visual plasticity is impaired, while motor plasticity is spared. Moreover, simultaneous activation of working memory and visual plasticity also leads to impairment in visual plasticity. These unilateral interactions between visual, working memory, and motor plasticity demonstrate a clear link between these three forms of plasticity. We conclude that local neuroplasticity in separate systems might be regulated globally, to preserve overall homeostasis in the brain.

This collection of essays brings together a selection of works that were presented at the inaugural 1° Congreso Internacional sobre Cultura Visual Iberoamericana [siglos XVI a XVIII] (International Congress on Ibero-American Visual Culture), whose core theme and subtitle was “Malas imágenes: lugares visuales de la disputa” (Bad images: visual places of dispute). Held on December 9 and 10, 2021, the meeting was organized by the Quillca program, which is devoted to the study of South American colonial art and housed in the Centro de Estudios sobre Arte, Materia y Cultura of Argentina’s Tres de Febrero University. The Congress, whose opening and closing lectures were given by Ilona Katzew (Los Angeles County Museum of Art) and Felipe Pereda (Harvard University), was an opportunity to study the provocative (that is, “bad”) side of Ibero-American images. The dictionary of the Royal Spanish Academy defines malo (bad) as that which has “valor negativo, falto de las cualidades que cabe atribuirle por su naturaleza, función o destino” (negative value, lacking the qualities that ought to be attributed to it, given its nature, function or purpose). Starting with this definition, this dossier opens a range of possibilities for discussion about the badness of images.

La vulnerabilidad de los cuerpos masculinos en el cine uruguayo
Authors: Cruz Cristina Míguez
Published: July 2023

This article analyzes how Uruguayan cinema portrays the vulnerability of masculine bodies when they are consumed, objectified, and erotized as models of traditional masculinities to build and reproduce the national epic of soccer. Both children in youth soccer in Mi mundial (Carlos A. Morelli, 2017) and adults of marginal masculinities in the documentaries Mundialito (Sebastián Bednarik, 2010), Maracaná (Sebastián Bednarik and Andrés Varela, 2014), and Sangre de campeones (Sebastián Bednarik and Guzmán García, 2018) enter the heroic Uruguayan narrative by following hegemonic masculine ideals, but are then discarded after fulfilling their role. As a counterpoint to the hard and athletic bodies, the soft bodies in some visual fictions show their wounds and some transgressions, such as compassion and kindness in Una forma de bailar (Álvaro Buela, 1997), Rincón de Darwin (Diego Fernández, 2013), and Una noche sin luna (Germán Tejeira, 2014).
Dissident Banknote Interventions
Authors: Barros A. César
Published: July 2023

This article analyzes the collective practice of banknote intervention—dissident stamping and scribbling—by focusing on different cases in Brazil (1975) and Chile (1973, 2019). It aims, first, at understanding the role of money from the vantage point of the relation between State and market; and second, at grasping the role of banknote imagery within an ideological State-market apparatus that both visibilizes and invisibilizes the link between economics and politics. By examining banknote interventions, I argue that this dissident practice disturbs and unmasks an invisible foundation of sovereignty while leaving the economic function of money intact. Lastly, it also aims at pushing the boundaries of artistic exceptionalism by inserting Cildo Meireles’s famous banknote interventions into a genealogy that surpasses the realm of art. Approaching Quem matou Herzog? (Who Killed Herzog?, 1975) and Projeto cédula (Banknote Project, 1970–) within this genealogy enables us to see some of the effects of Meireles’s intervention that have been obscured by a reading that locates them exclusively within the realm of art, singularity, and originality.
Government Expenditure Efficiency on Human Development in The Underdeveloped Regions
Authors: Purwanto Michael Jeremi , Utami Sri
Published: July 2023

This study aims to analyze the efficiency of government expenditure on human development and the effect of real GDRP per capita, population density, and per capita fiscal transfers on the efficiency of government expenditure on human development in underdeveloped regions during 2017-2019. The method used in this study is Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) with input oriented to analyze the efficiency of government expenditure and panel data regression to analyze the determinants of efficiency. The data used in this study are 122 districts which are categorized as underdeveloped regions with a study period of 2017-2019. The results of this study indicate that there are only 10 districts that are always efficient during the study period, and there are 7 districts that are only efficient in certain years. The underdeveloped districts in the western part of Indonesia are more efficient than the eastern part of Indonesia. The results of this study also show that real GDRP per capita and per capita fiscal transfers have a negative effect on efficiency, while population density has a negative effect on efficiency.
Earmarking Tax Analysis on Vehicle Tax Revenues on Road Conditions in Indonesia 2011-2020
Authors: Yanti Yulia Puspa Dwi
Published: July 2023

Motor Vehicle Tax is allocated a minimum of 10% for road construction and maintenance in accordance with Law no. 28 of 2009 article 8 paragraph (5). However, data on the length of roads according to conditions at BPS shows that the number of lengths of roads with damaged conditions continues to increase every year. The research object used is all provinces in Indonesia in 2011-2020 except North Kalimantan. This research was conducted to see how the effect of motor vehicle tax revenues which are included in the earmarking tax category in its realization on public services. The method used is panel data regression analysis by choosing the best model between CEM, FEM, or REM. The data used is secondary data in the form of district road length data per province as the dependent variable obtained from the Central Statistics Agency. The independent variables are Motor Vehicle Tax data, Earmarking Tax, and the number of motorized vehicles. The results showed that the number of motorized vehicles had no effect on the condition of the length of the road. Earmarking tax has a positive effect on road length conditions. Motor vehicle tax has a negative effect on road length conditions.

Published: July 2023

This study aims to determine and analyze the impact of the implementation of the Social Forestry Utilization Permit (IPHPS) on income. The research took location in Perhutani KPH Telawa, Central Java. This study was a descriptive qualitative and quantitative research. The types of data used were primary and secondary data. The method used first was to conduct interviews with respondents. After that, the authors applied statistical descriptive analysis and Multiple Linear Regression. The results point out that the IPHPS has increased the production and income of the Forest Farmer Group. Multiple linear regression analysis proves that the length of the IPHPS received, land area, number of workers, type of partnership, and input costs have a positive effect on income. The types of partnerships that have been executed are in the form of counseling, training, buying products, providing capital assistance, and mentoring. Obstacles faced by Forest Farmer Group receiving the Social Forestry Utilization Permit (IPHPS) are limited access to raw materials, access to capital, market access, and traditional equipment.
U.S. Border Militarization and Foreign Policy: A Symbiotic Relationship
Authors: Coyne Christopher J , Goodman Nathan P
Published: July 2023

U.S. government security along the U.S.–Mexican border has been increasingly militarized. This domestic militarization has been influenced by U.S. government military intervention abroad. Preparing for and executing foreign interventions involves investing in physical and human capital to effectively coerce and control the target population. The U.S. government’s “war on drugs” and “war on terror” created the conditions for this capital to be repurposed for domestic use in border-security efforts. While foreign policy created the conditions for border militarization, border militarization has also influenced foreign interventions. This article explores the symbiotic relationship between U.S. border militarization and foreign policy.
The implementation of findings published in scholarly articles
Authors: Hubbe Martin A.
Published: July 2023

Articles published in scholarly journals, such as this one, tend to be mainly addressed to researchers at universities. Industrial follow-up and implementation of results from a scholarly article appears to be the exception, rather than the rule. Research grant specifications, as well as university policies, favor the generation of new knowledge, rather than the implementation of good ideas. But without patent protection, corporations have low motivation to expend the considerable effort to reduce ideas to practice after they have been openly published. The author speculates that the situation could be much more dynamic if there were a system of priority of implementation. According to such a system, the first company to successfully implement an idea that first appears in a peer-reviewed journal article, as validated by its debut in the marketplace, would have a grace period during which competitors would have to pay them a fee to sell a generic version of the same thing.
Analysis of the Supreme Court Cases in 2022: Family Law
Authors:   The Institute of Legal Studies, Kyunghee University, Park Sirl-A
Published: July 2023

In 2022, the Supreme Court poured out notable rulings and decisions in the field of family law. As well as in 2021, there were several rulings on the claim for the Right to Legal Reserve of Inheritance. Most of all, there were a ruling that allowed a transgender parent to correct his or her gender in public records even if he or she has children who are minors. This ruling could be a reflection of the global trend of protection of sexual minorities.
This article highlights eight key decisions relating to the important issues in Family Law. The eight precedents that are discussed in this article include:
1) Special profits for those who have given up inheritance;
2) Purpose and scope of application of Article 1008 of the Civil Act;
3) Responsibility for supervising minor children of parents who do not have parental authority after divorce;
4) Claim for Divorce by the Party who is responsible for the breakdown of the marriage relationship
5) Withdrawal of the Gift Effective upon Death
6) When an inheritor shall be deemed to have effected an absolute acceptance
7) Effect of Qualified Acceptance
8) The Change of Sex Designation of Transgender Parents with Minor Children
Additionally, 7 cases were summarized and classified separately based on the other precedents of the Family Law issued in 2022. I hope to have an opportunity for a more detailed study in the near future.

Multicystic kidney dysplasia is a common nonhereditary developmental anomaly. However, multicystic dysplasia with doubling of the urinary tract is a rather rare pathology, which is often accompanied by the presence of ureterocele and high vesicoureteral reflux. Few clinical cases have been described in the current literature and there is no unambiguous tactic for the management of such patients. Purpose - to present a rare case of combined urinary tract anomaly to draw the attention of paediatric urologists to possible anomalies of the urinary system. Clinical case. A case of surgical treatment of an infant with the above pathology is described. The child was initially qualified for surgery for recurrent urinary tract infection and a functional upper segment of the left kidney with complete duplication. A ureterocele dissection on the ipsilateral side was performed beforehand. Given that multicystic dysplasia in urinary tract doubling with ureterocele and reflux is a rare pathology, it was diagnosed intraoperatively. Laparoscopic removal of the cystic mass and ureterocele was performed. The postoperative period was uneventful. Conclusions. Multicystic dysplasia with ureterocele and reflux is a rare pathology. It is always necessary to pay attention to the peculiarities of diagnostics in case of suspected combined anomaly of the urinary tract. The study was conducted in accordance with the principles of the Declaration of Helsinki. The study protocol was approved by the Local Ethics Committee of the institution mentioned in the work. The informed consent of the child’s parents was obtained for the study. No conflict of interests was declared by the authors.

The problem of improving the results of surgical care for patients with mechanical jaundice syndrome as a complication of pancreaticobiliary cancer and chronic pseudotumor pancreatitis is still being discussed. Purpose - to improve the results of radical surgical care for patients with pancreaticobiliary cancer and chronic pseudotumour pancreatitis complicated by mechanical jaundice syndrome. Materials and methods. The results of surgical treatment of 272 patients with mechanical jaundice syndrome were analyzed. The main group included 112 patients who were treated with our own developed prognostic and therapeutic algorithm. The comparison group included 160 patients who underwent preoperative preparation outside this algorithm. Results. Almost all the patients in the main group had single nucleotide genetic mutations in the PRSS 1 (Arg122His), SPINK 1 (Asn34Ser), TNF (G308A) and CFTR (Phe508del) genes. In patients of the main group, according to ultrasound elastography, the density of pathological focus for pancreatic cancer was 7.5±0.8 units, and for chronic pseudotumour pancreatitis - 5.6±0.5 units (p<0.05). The most significant differences were observed in the frequency of pancreaticodigestive anastomosis failure (2=6.95; p=0.008) and in the frequency of bleeding in the postoperative period (2=4.29; p=0.004). The amount of life-threatening postoperative complications was 42 (37.5%) cases in the main group and 102 (63.8%) cases in the comparison group (2=18.22; df=1; p<0.0001). In the main group 7 (6.3%) patients died, in the comparison group - 19 (11.9%). Conclusions. Prevention of the development of immediate postoperative complications in patients with focal pathology of the pancreatobiliary zone against the background of mechanical jaundice is achieved by combining molecular genetic studies with the determination of the patient's phenotype, ultrasound fibroelastography and mathematical modelling of patient status. The research was carried out in accordance with the principles of the Helsinki Declaration. The study protocol was approved by the Local Ethics Committee of the participating institution. The informed consent of the patient was obtained for conducting the studies. No conflict of interests was declared by the authors.

Objetivo: avaliar o nível de conhecimento de profissionais e acadêmicos de odontologia sobre biossegurança,  a adesão e aplicação das suas normas, discutindo a necessidade de adoção de protocolos, seus pontos positivos e suas limitações, fomentando o conhecimento responsável sobre o tema. Método: trata-se de uma revisão de literatura integrativa realizada a partir de levantamento nas Bases Eletrônicas de Dados Literatura Latino-americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde (LILACS), Medical Literature Analysis and Retrievel System Online (MedLine), National Library of Medicine (PubMed) e Scientific Electronic Library Online (Scielo) entre os anos de 2012-2022. Resultados: os estudos analisados mostraram que a odontologia relata grande número de acidentes ocorridos quando se negligenciou as normas de biossegurança. Tanto profissionais quanto acadêmicos não demonstraram conhecimento suficiente sobre os protocolos  existentes. Conclusão: é indispensável trabalhar esse tema desde a gradução uma vez que mostrou-se preocupante, em tempos de pandemia, que protocolos estejam sendo descumpridos, quando deveriam estar sendo seguidos a risca, com responsabilidade, aplicando-se medidas que promovam a saúde e resguardem a vida tanto da equipe de trabalho quanto do paciente.
Emotional, physical and sexual abuse and their role in the organization of the anxiety patterns in women
Authors: Agisheva Anastasiya
Published: July 2023

The article presents the results of a study of the role of psychotraumatization of women due to different types of violent influence in the formation of a specific pattern of anxiety. The study is based on the assumption that the course of post-traumatic stress in women, in whose life history there is an experience of emotional, physical, sexual violence or their combinations, is accompanied by various manifestations of anxiety specific to each type of violence. In order to test the hypothesis, the following methods were used: «Life Experiences Questionnaire (LEC-5)»; «The
State-Trait Anxiety Inventory»; «Ich-Struktur-Test nach Ammon»; «The Thematic Apperception Test»; an anamnestic interview. The study involved 74 women aged 20 to 59 years, (med = 30). The data set was conducted in the period from May 2021 to September 2022 as part of a dissertation study. It is shown that respondents who have experienced emotional, physical, and sexual violence and assess it as the most traumatic event in their individual experience have a higher level of post-traumatic stress than respondents whose psychotraumatization picture lacks episodes of violence. Study participants who have lifelong contact with stressors related to violence of various types, including forced evidence of physical violence, in addition to a higher level of post-traumatic stress have a statistically higher level of unconscious anxiety. Individual interpretation of any type of violence as the most traumatic event in the entire history of life or devaluation of the degree of its destructive impact for some reason does not play a statistically significant role in the overall picture of psychotraumatization of the individual and in the formation of a specific profile of anxiety. The aggravation of the anamnesis with sexual and (or) physical violence by additional emotional violence is accompanied by an increase in the level of unconscious anxiety. Destructive anxiety is higher in women whose experience includes sexual violence in addition to physical violence.
‘The great event of modern history’: The Victorian Press Visualizes its Infrastructure
Authors: Sumpter Caroline
Published: July 2023

From images of periodical subdivision and recycled papers on the move, to perfect machines, disruptive compositors, strikes and disasters, the press had many different ways of visualizing its infrastructure. Drawing on a wide range of British and Irish sources, including national, local and trade papers, quarterlies, mid-Victorian monthlies, socialist magazines, and the New Journalism of the 1890s, this article asks what was politically at stake when the press put its materiality and mobility on display. Focusing on evolutionary trees, bodies, and machines, on recycling, circuits, and networks, and on protest, disruption, and breakdown, I seek to bring nineteenth- and twenty-first century ways of seeing press infrastructure into dialogue, considering how the metaphors we use can define the object in view. The analysis concludes by linking these debates to the revolutionary collapse of capitalist newspaper production in William Morris’s ‘News from Nowhere’, serialized in the Commonweal (1890), and to the Martian destruction of press infrastructure in H. G. Wells’s Pearson’s Magazine serial ‘The War of the Worlds’ (1897).

This study explored a series of resorcinol derivatives originally identified as heat shock protein 90 inhibitors for activity against protozoan parasites. The repurposing of this series revealed that some of these compounds are active against chloroquine-sensitive Plasmodium falciparum (3D7) and Trypanosoma brucei brucei strains with IC50 values below 10 μM without obvious cytotoxic effects against human cervix adenocarcinoma (HeLa) cells at 25 μM.

In this study, a South African mine tailing sample was characterized for base metals using X-Ray fluorescence, alkaline fusion, and acid digestion to subsequently evaluate the uncertainties involved. This was based on the importance of characterization data in subsequent methods and obtaining confidence in such methods. It was determined that instrument repeatability and reproducibility contributed most to the overall uncertainty. At a coverage factor of 2 (k=2), the measurement result for iron through alkaline fusion, XRF, and acid digestion was found to be 3.476 ± 0.026%, 3.835 ± 0.023%, and 3.741 ± 0.020%, respectively, and that of arsenic were 88 ± 11 mg kg-1 and 85.5 ± 8.3 mg kg-1 for fusion and acid digestion, respectively. Based on the calculated expanded uncertainties which are at an average of 0.8% of the measurement results, the three methods can be associated with high statistical confidence and therefore eases decision-making regarding subsequent analytical methods.

Рассмотрена возможность использования гальванических псевдосплавов никель-бор и никель-фосфор в бездуговых контактных соединениях вместо металлокерамического контактного материала серебро-окись кадмия. Механические и электрические характеристики исследуемых гальванических материалов аналогичны металлокерамическому образцу, а при росте концентрации неметалла улучшается механическая износостойкость покрытий, но при этом отмечен рост контактного сопротивления. Присутствие пассивационной пленки золото-кобальт позволяет получить покрытия с близким значением контактного сопротивления металлокерамического контакта при сохранении высокой механической износостойкости.

Authors: Иванов Игорь Юрьевич , Новокрещенов Виталий Викторович
Published: July 2023

Произведена оценка селективности действия дифференциальной защиты линии электропередачи с устройством продольной компенсации. Отмечены основные параметры, влияющие на характер электромагнитных переходных процессов и установившийся режим при коротком замыкании на линии электропередачи 220 кВ с устройством продольной компенсации. Показано, что устройства продольной компенсации влияют на снижение чувствительности дифференциальной защиты линии электропередачи преимущественно в установившемся режиме короткого замыкания, так как в первый момент повреждения возникает переходной процесс, связанный с перезарядкой используемых в устройстве конденсаторов. При этом возможен частный случай отказа дифференциальной защиты линии, что возникает под действием определённого значения транспортного угла, вызывающего переток мощности от устройства продольной компенсации к точке короткого замыкани

Measurement of Attitude in Language Learning with AI (MALL:AI)
Authors: YILDIZ Tugba
Published: July 2023

In the novel context of human and artificial intelligence (AI) connection, people seem to be getting more affiliated to AI nowadays in everyday life, which is also valid for education and language learning (LL) processes. Language learners’ attitudes towards AI mostly play a crucial role in their acceptance of AI initially as they embrace new technologic advances with a positive attitude. The goal of this study was to develop an instrument to measure the attitudes toward AI in LL process which is MALL:AI (attitude scale in LL with AI) of language learners. The participants were 174 university students from different regions of Türkiye as they are dominant using the new generation technologic tools such as digital educational tools or mobile applications based on AI. The MALL:AI scale was found to be valid and reliable with three factors such as communicative, behavioural, and cognitive skills, as a result of the data analysing. Three sub-factors captured different aspects of the items in line with their valence. Few existing scales for measurement the attitudes toward AI in education are different from the current one as the items were, specifically, grounded according to the LL process. The study suggested that language learners were highly satisfied and preferred to use AI in their LL process.

The aim of the study was to validate the Russian-language version of the 25-item Hikikomori Questionnaire (HQ-25) recently developed by A. Teo and colleagues and successfully adapted in Japan and other countries. To test the reproducibility of the results, the psychometric properties of the Russian version of HQ-25 were analyzed on two different samples (N1 = 729, N2 = 451), recruited using an online survey in social networks in thematic groups associated with the hikikomori phenomenon, student communities of different universities. Confirmatory factor analysis showed satisfactory fit of the bifactor model with one common factor (severity of hikikomori symptoms) and 3 specific factors (socialization, isolation, emotional support) (for sample 1: (S-B)2(249) = 704.961; CFI = .928; TLI = .913; RMSEA = .050 (.046, .054), SRMR = .045; for sample 2: (S-B)2(249) = 561.636, CFI = .937, TLI = .925, RMSEA = .053 (.047, .059), SRMR = .045). Internal consistency, testretest reliability were satisfactory. Con ver gent and divergent validity was confirmed (by correlating HQ-25 scores with the UCLA Loneliness Scale (version 3), Multidimensional Inventory of Lone liness Experience-3, Multidimen sional Scale of Perceived Social Support, Marlowe-Crowne Social Desirability Scale). Obtained data confirm the criterion validity of the questionnaire. Similar results obtained on two different samples indicate the reproducibility of the study. The data of the psychometric analysis are supplemented by the content analysis of the interview, which explores hikikomori experiences in the Russian sociocultural context. Its results are in good agreement with the factorial structure of the questionnaire and can be useful for further development of theoretical views on the hikikomori phenomenon. The Russian version of HQ-25 can be used for research purposes to study and better understand individuals at risk for hikikomori.

The article presents the results of the Russian-language adaptation of the Need for Closure Scale by A. Kruglyansky and D. Webster, which in its original English version includes 5 scales, 42 questions and additional 5 questions of the “Lie scale”. The scales of the questionnaire are: “The need for order” (10), “The need for predictability” (8), “Decisiveness” (7), “Avoidance of ambiguity” (9) and “Closed-mindedness” (8). For adapting the questionnaire, the following procedures and statistical methods were applied: double-blind forward and backward translation of the questionnaire; checking the discrimination of Ferguson’s ; consistency of Cronbach’s and McDonald’s for the entire test and individual test scales, confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) by the method of maximum likelihood, testing of retest reliability, gender differences and external validity. The study involved 643 subjects at the factorization stage and 114 at the external validity stage. The obtained results for the Russian-language scales are: "the need for order" Cronbach’s = 0.81. "the need for predictability" Cronbach’s = .75 "decisiveness" Cronbach’s = .74. "avoidance of ambiguity" Cronbach’s = .65. "closedmindedness" Cronbach’s = .53. Checking the questionnaire (5-factor version, 38 questions) with the Structural Equation Modelling (SEM), indicators were obtained within the norm: 2/df = 4.08, SRMR = .078, RMSEA = .07, however, the CFI and TLI parameters do not correspond to the required norms (CFI = .67, TLI = .647 — below normal). In the test-retest the correlation obtained r =.72, with p .001. Based on the data obtained, a conclusion is made about the correspondence of the five-factor model of the questionnaire of 38 questions to foreign analogues in terms of the degree of consistency.
