Published: December 2022

Esta investigación tuvo como objetivo principal evaluar el efecto de dos hormonas auxinas en el crecimiento radicular en estacas de moringa (Moringa oleífera). La investigación se desarrolló bajo las condiciones de la Universidad Científica del sur en una cama de siembra del biohuerto. En el ensayo se usó una concentración de hormona AIB y ANA de 3000 ppm, en dos longitudes de estacas de 40 cm y 20 cm y tipos de corte, cilíndrico y bisel, en la cual se aplicó un arreglo factorial completamente al azar 2 x 2 x 2 con 9 tratamientos y 25 repeticiones por tratamiento. Al finalizar los 90 días, no se presenciaron diferencias significativas (p<0.05) en la producción de raíces en ninguno de los tratamientos planteados con el uso de hormona, tipo de corte y longitud de estaca. Sin embargo, para la variable respuesta, número de brotes, hubo un efecto significativo (p<0.05) con respecto a la longitud de estacas, como se observa en los T1, T2, T5 y T6, las cuales presentan longitudes de 40 cm como las más eficientes para el desarrollo de brotes. Como resultado de la investigación se concluye que bajo las condiciones donde se desarrolló el proyecto, la reproducción de esta especie a través de estacas no es posible, ya que solo se logra la proliferación de brotes mas no raíces. Es recomendable continuar investigando la especie, para encontrar la mejor técnica de propagación vegetativa.

Authors: Jiménez Beatriz Bernárdez , Navarrete Ignacio Panach , Maestre Jose Antonio Parejo , Toro Amador Durán , Juzgado Natalia Juristo , Ruiz-Cortés Antonio
Published: December 2022

Purpose: The practice of mindfulness aims to improve concentration and attention, which has proven useful in knowledge-intensive and stressful work environments like technological companies. This article aims to find empirical evidence on the positive effect of the practice of mindfulness on a sample of 56 helpdesk employees working for a consulting and information technology company (Accenture) with respect to: i) their attention awareness; ii) a set ofkey performance indicators (KPIs); and iii) the perceived benefits of mindfulness.
Method: Of the 56 recruited employees, 29 worked as managers, and 27 worked as agents answering phone calls to solve software issues of the main information system of the Andalusian Health Service, a public organization withmore than 115,000 employees. The treatment was applied to 26 subjects, while the other 30 subjects were the control group. For all subjects, their attention awareness was measured using the MAAS scale.
Results: Both helpdesk managers and agents significantly improved their attention awareness with respectto the control group. Regarding organizational KPIs, in general, no evidence of significant differences between groups was detected, apart from the fact that the number of phone calls answered was significantly lower in the mindfulness group, probably due to a longer call duration caused by a deliberate better attention to the customer, but without degrading any other KPI. Results yield relevant benefits perceived by most employees after practicing mindfulness.
Conclusions: We confirm that the practice of mindfulness improves attention awareness and benefits the working and personal life of helpdesk employees. However, further research is needed to identify a clear impact on productivity.

Published: December 2022

Tiropramide HCl, an antispasmodic drug is subjected to various stress conditions (hydrolytic, oxidative, photolytic and thermal) as per ICH guidelines. The drug is widely used as an antispasmodic agent but there were no comprehensive degradation studies reported on it. Hence, forced degradation studies of tiropramide HCl were carried out to establish the degradation profile and the storage conditions to maintain its quality attributes during the shelf life and usage. A selective HPLC method was developed to separate the drug as well as all of its degradation products using Agilent C18 (250×4.6 mm; 5 µm) column. The mobile phase of 10mM ammonium formate at pH 3.6 (solvent A) and methanol (solvent B) with gradient elution at a flow rate of 1.00 mL/min was used. Tiropramide was susceptible to acidic, basic hydrolytic exposure and oxidative stress conditions in the solution. This drug was found to be stable in neutral, thermal and photolytic conditions in both solution and solid-state. Five degradation products were detected under different stress conditions. The mass spectrometric fragmentation pattern of tiropramide and its degradation products was extensively studied using LC-Q-TOF-MS/MS for their structural characterization. The position of the oxygen atom in the N-oxide degradation product was confirmed by NMR studies. The knowledge gained by these studies was used to predict drug degradation profiles which is helpful in the development of the dosage form.
Contribution of remote sensing to wildfire trend and dynamic analysis in two of Ghana’s ecological zones: Guinea-savanna and Forest-savanna mosaic
Authors: DAHAN Kueshi Sémanou , KASEI Raymond Abudu , Husseini Rikiatu
Published: December 2022

Background Two of Ghana’s ecological zones—Guinea-savanna zone (GSZ) and Forest-savanna mosaic zone (FSZ)—are practically homologous in terms of structure and floristic composition, with some differences. The various sub-ecosystems that make up these areas are being depleted and losing their natural values due to various threats. There is little understanding about the fire trends in these areas due to lack of data and poor accessibility to existing fire statistics. This study aimed to contribute to the understanding of the trends of area burned and active fire in the Guinea-savanna and Forest-savanna mosaic zones in order to inform policy-makers about sustainable management options. We used the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) daily active fire (MDC14ML) and burned-area (MCD64A1) products to characterize the fire regime in terms of seasonality, intensity, density, a burned area, frequency, and the trends during the study period of 2001 to 2021.
Results This study indicated that fire activity started in October and peaked in December (GSZ) and January (FSZ). The mean proportion burned was approximately 39.95% or a burnt area of 2659.31 km2 (FSZ) and 60.05% or a burnt area of 3996.63 km2 (GSZ), while the frequency was approximately 42.87% or 1759.95 of active fires (FSZ) and 57.13% or 2345.26 of active fires (GSZ). In the year 2018 GSZ recorded the largest burned area (19 811.2 km2 or an average of 825.5 km2) with 4719 active points detected whereas the FSZ recorded its greatest burned area in 2015 (8727.4 km2) with 5587 active points recorded, which represents an average of 363.6 km2 of area burned of the total area burned (2001-2021). In addition, it was found that specific times of the day (1000 hours to 1420 hours) recorded the majority of burned areas.
Conclusions In conclusion, the trend is decreasing for the area burned, and increasing for the number of fires. This study demonstrated the relevance of remote sensing to describe spatial and temporal patterns of fire occurrence in Ghana and highlighted the need for fire control and fuel management by the policies and institutions (e.i: Ghana National Fire and Rescue Service) in these important and vulnerable zones (GSZ and FSZ), especially in the Forest-Savannah zone, which is increasingly affected by the disasters of wildfires and records more and more of active fires than GSZ. Therefore, rigorous continuous monitoring is essential in collaboration with organizations fighting for the conservation of natural resources in the field is strongly recommended.
Evaluation of Peripheral Nerve Injury According to the Severity of Damage Using 18F-FDG PET/MRI in a Rat Model of Sciatic Nerve Injury

Published: December 2022

Reports suggest a high incidence of nerve injuries, and diverse methods, such as two-point discrimination and the pin prick test, have been attempted to evaluate the severity of nerve damage. However, these tests rely on subjective sensations and may not accurately represent the damaged area. A previous experiment revealed that 18F‑FDG positron emission tomography/magnetic resonance imaging (PET/MRI) detect peripheral nerve damage. This study aimed to assess peripheral nerve damage according to severities of damage using 18F-FDG PET/MRI in a rat sciatic nerve. Eighteen rats were divided into three groups: 30-second (G1), 2-minute (G2), and 5-minute (G3) crushing injury groups. The severity of nerve damage was measured in the third week after the crushing injury using three methods: revised withdrawal threshold (RevWT)), standardized uptake values ratio on PET/MRI (SUVR), and immunohistochemistry (intensity ratio (IntR)). There were significant differences between G1 and G3 in both SUVR and IntR. There were no significant differences in both SUVR and IntR between G2 and G3 and no significant differences in RevWT among the three groups. There was a significant difference in SUVR but no significant difference in IntR between G1 and G2. Although PET/MRI did not show results consistent with the immunohistochemistry in all respects, this study demonstrated that the severity of nerve damage as assessed by PET/MRI increased with a longer crushing time. PET/MRI showed potential as an objective diagnostic tool in this peripheral nerve injury model. If research is supplemented through further experiments, PET/MRI can be used as an effective diagnostic modality.

Authors: Abtew Asafew Kelebu
Published: December 2022

The study endeavored (1) to assess the effect of using cooperative learning on EFL students’ over all writing performance (2) to assess which writing aspect (fluency, accuracy or complexity) was developed as a result of cooperative learning. Nine grade 9 students (453 students) were the total population. The researcher selected 2 section students using the purposive sampling technique. To label the control and experimental groups, simple lottery sampling was used. The treatment was given for11weeks (two hours per week). Data was gathered using a writing test. T-test (both independent and paired samples T-test) was employed as a statistical tool of analysis. The result of the study showed that the experimental group of students overall writing post-test result was greater than their pre-test result and that of the control group’s post-test results. In addition, their post-test mean score was greater than their pre-test means scores, and that of the control group’s post-test results in fluency and accuracy but not in complexity. Finally, it was concluded that using the cooperative learning method is better to improve EFL students’ overall writing performance. Judicious and cautious employment of cooperative learning during writing was suggested as a pedagogical implication.

Published: December 2022

Planners are faced with the enormous drawbacks of waste identification and removal. The amount of garbage and waste increased rapidly as a result of the growth in the urban population. In this research, they provide a physical approach based on a Deep Learning (DL) structure of waste segregation at the fundamental level. Unlike the recognition of objects of a certain entity, when images of objects entity have comparable qualities and attribute the trash could be shape, size, thing, color, or material. As a result, it is difficult to detect waste. The Improved Faster Recurrent Convolutional Neural Network (IFRCNN) method proposed the material based deep formation SmartBin could separate the trash non-biodegradable & biodegradable. The purpose of identifying garbage through proposed system used to quickly and efficiently classify garbage that is present in the bin. This proposed work aims to evaluate different IFRCNN for garbage classification VGG-16, InceptionNet, ResNet, and AlexNet, and train functionality alongside the hardware system used for garbage diagnosis in the bin. The proposed method performed best when compared with the InceptionNet Neural Network which had a precision of 98.15% and a loss of 0.10 for the training dataset and 96.23% and 0.13 for the validation data.

Background
Philadelphia chromosome-like acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph-like ALL) is a refractory and recurrent subtype of B-cell ALL enriched with kinase-activating rearrangements. Incomplete understanding of the heterogeneity within the tumor cells presents a major challenge for the diagnosis and therapy of Ph-like ALL.
Methods
Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) was performed on 10,273 bone marrow mononuclear cells obtained from one patient with Ph-like ALL at diagnosis and after relapse. Integrative single-cell analysis was performed on this Ph-like ALL patient and two Ph+ ALL patients at diagnosis and relapse from a previous study.
Results
scRNA-seq analysis exhibited a comprehensive cell atlas of one Ph-like ALL patient with a novel TPR-PDGFRB fusion gene at diagnosis and relapse. Twelve heterogeneous B-cell clusters, four with strong MKI67 expression indicating highly proliferating B cells, were identified. A relapse-enriched B-cell subset associated with poor prognosis was discovered, implicating the transcriptomic evolution during disease progression. Integrative single-cell analysis was performed on Ph-like ALL and Ph+ ALL patients, and revealed Ph-like specific B-cell subpopulations and common CD8+ T cells characterized by the expression of the inhibitory receptor KLRB1.
Conclusions
Collectively, scRNA-seq of Ph-like ALL with a novel TPR-PDGFRB fusion gene provides valuable insights into the underlying heterogeneity associated with disease progression and offers useful information for the development of immunotherapeutic techniques in the future.

Introduction:
Information and services relating to Sexual and Reproductive Health (SRH) are limited particularly to unmarried adolescents who often turn to friends and family for guidance. The purpose of this study was to analyze adolescent males' knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) on Comprehensive Sexuality Education (CSE) and the influencing factors in Bangladesh.
Methods
A cross-sectional study was undertaken. Quantitative data were collected from July to November 2021 using a pre-tested semi-structured questionnaire. Participants (n = 192) were adolescent males studying at secondary and higher secondary levels.
Results
Data analysis revealed a significant gap in KAP among adolescent males with regard to CSE. Factors such as age, education level, socioeconomic status, the primary source of knowledge, use of Facebook and watching TV were influential. Most of the respondents relied on their mothers to be their key informants of SRH while 61% of adolescent males said teachers were not interested in teaching sexuality education in the classroom. A majority had poor knowledge (84.4%); over half had negative attitudes (58.3%) and improper practices (58.9%) on CSE. Respondents who completed Secondary School or above level of education, had more correct knowledge, positive attitude, and appropriate practice. Family monthly income was another significant factor that had an association with respondents’ KAP on CSE (p < 0.001). More access to the use of Facebook and watching television were the preeminent factors affecting positive attitude and appropriate SRH practices (p < 0.01).
Conclusion
To promote curriculum-based CSE, all key stakeholders including government authorities need to realize the value and influence of CSE on adolescent development.
MVRLR: Multiple Perspectives Feature Representation Based on Low-rank Representation Learning for Short Video

Published: December 2022

In recent years, with the rapid development of the Internet, multimedia information and its processing technology began to flourish. Today, smart terminals represented by smartphones are becoming more and more popular, and the era of mobile Internet has arrived. While changing the way multimedia information is composed and accessed, the Internet has also led to explosive growth in the amount of multimedia data. Short videos are often used as a social medium and spread on short video social platforms. Despite their limited length, short videos can always depict a relatively simple but complete story in a relatively short time. At the same time, they are always produced by non-professional users. We propose a short video feature presentation model MVRLR based on low-rank representation learning for multiple perspectives, which not only maximizes the complementarity and correlation among multiple perspectives, but also learns the subspace structure of lower dimensional eigenvalues through low-rank embedding; on this basis, we introduce a robust elastic regularization network to learn the potential label matrix to prevent the overfitting problem. Second, to further solve the high-dimensional and nonlinear problems of the data, the proposed model is extended to a multilinear form by constructing a new eigenmatrix through kernel functions to improve the model's ability to deal with high-dimensional nonlinear problems. We conduct several experiments to confirm that the model performs better than other baselines.

Ein Mangel und ein Begehren
Authors: Hohmann Philipp
Published: December 2022

Der Ausgangspunkt dieses Beitrags ist der subjektive Eindruck eines Mangels, fast ein Gefühl, das sich so zusammenfassen lässt: Es gibt nur eine schwache Rezeption von Queer Theory in der deutschsprachigen Theaterwissenschaft, ganz zu schweigen von einer wechselseitigen Beeinflussung. Daran schließt sich eine Behauptung, beinahe eine Hoffnung an: Eine solche Beziehung könnte bereichernd sein. Nicht nur wegen Überschneidungen in entscheidenden Begriffen, Interessen und Gegenständen, sondern weil eine queertheoretisch informierte Theaterwissenschaft, eine theaterwissenschaftliche Queer Theory gewisse Formen von Theater und Performance beschreibbar macht, ihnen gerecht wird und zugleich die Frage nach dem Gegenstand von Theaterwissenschaft, ‚dem Theater‘, offenhält.

1. Annäherung an eine vielschichtige Krise: unthinking mastery

Neue Performanzen des Menschlichen sind mehr als nötig. Denn ein Großteil des Wissens vom Menschen ist mit den epistemischen Bedingungen der zweischneidigen Gestalt namens Moderne und ihrer zentralen Figur, dem westlichen Subjekt, verwoben. Besonders das Aufkommen des Anthropozäns hat eine Auseinandersetzung mit Konfigurationen des Menschlichen erneut angeregt. Schließlich ist der Grundgedanke des Anthropozäns, dass die Menschheit – eine fragwürdige Bezeichnung eines „wir alle“ – dominanter Einflussfaktor der materiell-physisch-geographischen Welt sei. Im Gegensatz dazu argumentieren vor allem kapitalismuskritische, feministische und kritische Race-Theorien, dass die Zerstörung des Planeten mit dem Einsetzen, der Eroberung und Vernichtung von indigenen Völkern, der Etablierung der Plantagenwirtschaft und damit verwobenen Versklavung sowie der Abwertung von indigenen, nicht-westlichen Lebensformen gegenüber einem freien, sich seines Verstandes bedienenden und naturbeherrschenden Subjekt einen Prozess der Weltveränderung initiierte. So gesehen ist das Anthropozän eigentlich eher Symptom eines viel größeren Problems. [...]

Vielleicht kann man versuchen, sich Rasmus Nordholt-Frielings Anliegen anhand der musikalischen Vorgehensweisen zu nähern, die seine Dissertation Musikalische Relationen (Brill Fink, 2021) zu einem horchenden, komponierenden, tanzenden und gerade in alledem denkenden Text machen. Das Anliegen hier als ‚Gegenstand‘ vor- und voran-, das methodische Verfahren durch „Aufteilen, Zerlegen, Analysieren, Trennen“ (XIV) dar- und sich dem Buch in der „Tradition der kritischen Analyse“ (XVII) gegenüberzustellen, hieße, die von ihm ausgehende Einladung zu überhören und die „starke Wirksamkeit der Musik im Denken“ (35) – gewissermaßen wie gewohnt – zuübergehen. Wahrscheinlich muss es in dieser Rezension, entgegen den konventionellen „Techniken, einen Text wie diesen zu schreiben“ (XVII), eher darum gehen, das eigene Ohr an Rasmus Nordholt-Frielings Schreiben zu legen und dieses eigene Hören dann wiederum schreibend (Mixtape, Sample, Arrangement) zu Gehör zu bringen: „Hier, ich schenke dir eine Plastik meines Hörens, hör sie dir an“ (171).

Translanguaging Practices in Composition Scholarship and Pedagogy: Issues, Evidence, and Controversies
Authors: Sugiharto Setiono
Published: December 2022

The notion of translanguaging has hitherto gained prominence in composition scholarship and pedagogy. Scholars have specifically pointed out that translanguaging pedagogy is particularly germane if it is implemented in the teaching and learning of writing in a multilingual setting. Drawing upon the plethora of published studies, these scholars have argued that translanguaging strategies can help maximize students’ linguistic resources and communicative potentials. This conceptual article looks at intellectual endeavors which try to challenge the monolingual ideology and its biases, and to justify the legitimacy of mixing different linguistic codes for achieving desired communicative goals in written communication. Contemporary issues of composition scholarship and pedagogy under translanguaging vantage point of view will be addressed, and evidence of code-meshing from multilingual writers showcasing the acts of translanguaging in academic writing presented. Finally, the article discusses the controversies over the application of the notion of translanguaging in writing research and pedagogy.
The Multimodal Portrayal of The 2019 Indonesian Presidential Candidates' Rivalry on English Tempo's Cover Stories
Authors: Asidiky Zakie
Published: December 2022

This research has investigated how English Tempo magazine's cover stories portrayed the Indonesian presidential candidate's rivalry between Joko Widodo (Jokowi) and Prabowo Subianto (Prabowo) to audiences. Four English Tempo's cover stories were then selected as the data and analyzed by the Multimodal Discourse Analysis (MDA) approach. Furthermore, this research uses a qualitative method with descriptive perspective for data analysis. Moreover, the results have shown that (i) the presidential and vice-presidential candidates' photographs and caricatures, (ii) the illustrations of presidential candidates' actions related to specific political events at the time, and (iii) the main titles could multimodally portray the presidential candidates' rivalry to the audiences. The photographs and caricatures in the cover stories' pictorial components visually manifested the candidates' rivalry. Moreover, the cover stories' main titles explained the photographs and caricatures. Furthermore, those semiotic components combined in each cover story could modulate some multimodal communicative acts to portray the rivalry between presidential candidates. Meanwhile, the benefit of this research result is to provide the readers with the formulation of how English Tempo Magazine presents the topic of rivalry between Indonesian presidential candidates by visualizing issues concerning presidential candidates in the cover stories.
Identity Construction Portrayed from Linguistic Features on Justin Bieber’s Instagram Fan Talks
Authors: Matiini Gharizi
Published: December 2022

Being a fan is another way of gaining an identity, and the fans' identity can be analyzed from the linguistic features used in fan talks. The present study aims to identify any identities detected from the fans’ linguistic repertoires when admiring their idols. This qualitative study is conducted by collecting the fan talks in Justin Bieber fan groups on Instagram. The use of social media promotes the increasing number of fans and encourages them to declare their affection textually. The obtained data is analyzed based on three elements of linguistic units; words, themes, and concepts. After obtaining the analysis from the elements of units, the study then shapes the relevant categories constructing the fans’ identities. The result reveals that those fans are identified with sisterhoods, sympathy, and support, for their idol, Justin Bieber, and for each other. Those natures of being fans eventually compose them into dedicated and intimate fans. Furthermore, those fans are also excellent at expressing sympathy and jokes using translingual practice.  Translingual practice is also attached in the talks as those fan use varieties of English, Bahasa Indonesia, and heritage languages.

The present study investigates the kind of sexism reflected in the companion textbook used in Senior High School: the frequency of female and male occurrences, the female and male titles, the graphic depiction of females and men, the masculine pronoun tendency, activities, and social-domestic roles throughout the description phase. It also examines how occupational gender stereotypes are portrayed in textbooks. This analysis was conducted by applying Fairclough's three-dimensional analysis and Halliday’s Systemic Functional Linguistics. Finally, this research indicated that textbooks had a sexist mindset characterized by gender marginalization, gender subordination, gender stereotypes, cultural sexism, and sex-based work segregation. The textbooks were biased toward females by depicting females less frequently than males in pictorial representation (58.48 vs 33.97 percent); the titles Mr. and Mrs. were used inconsistently, and there were 12 instances of masculine pronoun tendency, representation of activities, and social-domestic roles that perpetuate female subordination. The research also found that there were considerably fewer images of women than males in the public domain, suggesting that women in traditional gender roles such as cooking and caring for children were far more prevalent. In terms of occupational gender stereotypes, the survey indicated that male jobs were more prevalent and diversified than female ones. In terms of social duties, men were found to have a greater selection of occupations than females.

Several previous studies have proven that the stylistics elements of figurative language were found in many literary works. Besides, it is essential for the students to develop literary competence, such as the ability to analyze the elements of figurative language. Hence, this research is aimed at investigating the stylistics elements of figurative language in a movie entitled Snow White and the Huntsman as well as the implications toward English as a foreign language (EFL) teaching. The stylistics elements of figurative language in this research focused on Epizeuxis, Parallelism, Prolepsis, Simile, and Chiasmus. This research applied qualitative design of research, while the data collecting technique is documentation as the movie is used to gather the data. Then, the data were analyzed using stylistics elements of figurative language theory, which are Epizeuxis, Simile, Prolepsis, Parallelism, and Chiasmus. The results revealed that there were 26 stylistics elements of figurative language in the movie consisting of 15 Epizeuxis, 5 Prolepsis, 4 Simile, and 2 Chiasmus. Furthermore, the results also found out that the stylistics elements of figurative language have some useful implications toward EFL teaching so that the teachers can implement some stylistics elements of figurative language in the classroom through some activities for teaching and learning. Finally, future researchers who want to conduct a research that is similar to this field of research are highly encouraged to analyze more stylistics elements of figurative language, so that the results of the research can reveal more various results
Silent Learners’ Voices: Exploring the Silence Behavior in Indonesian EFL Classroom
Authors: Zafarina Nabella Fariza
Published: December 2022

Silence in an EFL classroom is inevitable, but it only becomes an issue when it discourages students from participating, speaking out, or taking an active role in the teaching and learning process. This study's goal is to determine the reasons for learners' silent behavior and expectations in the EFL classroom. Employing an explanatory sequential research design, the data are collected through questionnaires from 78 Indonesian senior high school learners and analyzed using a descriptive statistic to identify the silent learners. Moreover, interviews were given in order to elicit personal explanations for why learners choose to remain silent in EFL classes. The result of this study specifically identified five reasons for silence in EFL classrooms. Furthermore, the empirical findings gained by this study can support linguistic practitioners or educators in developing a more acute awareness and a deeper comprehension of learners' silent behavior
Genre Analysis of English vs. Indonesian Application Letters
Authors: Warsidi Warsidi
Published: December 2022

Genre studies in English for specific purposes (ESP) have long been widely investigated, including in academic and professional texts. In professional texts, these studies have been conducted in business letters, formal letters, newsletters in China and Australia, advertising promotional media in Indonesia, and application letters. However, application letters are still the least investigated in the Indonesian context. Furthermore, contrastive genre analysis of English and Indonesian application letters has never been investigated to date. Based on finding and comprehending this gap in the literature, the researcher is encouraged and interested in conducting the present study. The researcher involved and trained 12 English foreign language (EFL) students to analyze rhetorical moves of 63 English and 63 Indonesian application letters. However, among the 63 English application letters, 25 were written by non-native English speakers. Thus, the researcher only focused on analyzing 38 English and 63 Indonesian application letters. Then, to ensure the validity of the analysis results, the researcher reanalyzed the rhetorical moves by re-reading application letters three times using a top-down approach and identifying their linguistic signals. The results showed two rhetorical models of English and Indonesian application letters. These two models imply that they have rhetorical differences in communicating their purposes.

The objectives of this study are (1) to classify the translation techniques used between subtitles and dubbing (2) to identify the quality of the accuracy instrument between subtitles and dubbing (3) to compare the quality of the accuracy instrument that is more accurate to use. The source data is a movie that is limited to the translated utterances that have different translations in subtitle and dubbing versions. This study used a qualitative method with the following steps; (1) Classifying the translation techniques of subtitle and dubbing data based on Molina and Albir’s (2002) classification. (2) Tabulating the comparison of translation techniques between subtitles and dubbing. (3) Identifying the translation quality of accuracy based on the theory of Nababan et al., (4) Drawing conclusions. As a result, both subtitle and dubbing mostly used the established equivalent technique. An established equivalent has a good effect on the quality of accuracy obtained. This technique makes it easier for the audience to understand because it prioritizes the prevalence and naturalness so that the message from SL is conveyed properly. The researcher discovered that dubbing translation is more accurate than subtitle translation. Some subtitle translations are still considered less accurate. The researchers concluded that subtitles are appropriate for adolescents or adults, particularly foreign language learners. Language learners can broaden their knowledge of the language by watching films with subtitles. Meanwhile, dubbing is more appropriate for younger audiences because the language used is typically simpler to comprehend and does not contain swear words or inappropriate words.
Topological defects in a double-mirror quadrupole insulator displace diverging charge
Authors: Araya Day Isidora , Akhmerov Anton R. , Varjas Dániel
Published: December 2022

We show that topological defects in quadrupole insulators do not host
quantized fractional charges, contrary to what their Wannier
representation indicates. In particular, we test the charge quantization
hypothesis based on the Wannier representation of a disclination and a
parametric defect. Since disclinations necessarily strain the lattice
and parametric defects require closed curves in parameter space, both
defects break four-fold rotation symmetry, even away from their origin.
The Wannier representation of the defects is thus determined by local
reflection symmetries. Contrary to the hypothesis, we find that the
local charge density decays as \sim 1/r^2~ 1/r2
with distance, leading to a diverging defect charge. Because topological
defects are incompatible with four-fold rotation symmetry, we conclude
that defect charge quantization is protected by sublattice symmetry, and
not higher order topology.

O presente texto coteja dois tratamentos dos direitos humanos, aquele de Bobbio, mais focado na aplicação, e aquele de Habermas, voltado para a fundamentação. Em seguida, usa-se a teoria tridimensional de Fraser, para analisar a questão dos direitos humanos no Brasil. Aponta-se para uma idiossincrasia do caso brasileiro que tende a ver os direitos humanos apenas como sendo direitos de uma parte dos humanos. Em razão disso, defende-se a necessidade de processos educacionais em direitos humanos, nas três esferas mencionadas por Fraser, considerando que as demandas de efetivação ou aplicação dos mesmos não são um jogo de soma-zero. Assim, para que alguém usufrua de um direito não é necessário que alguém não o usufrua. Melhor dito, ainda que os casos de aplicação sejam difíceis, é possível que todos usufruam dos direitos humanos, senão por outra razão pela razão mesma que os direitos humanos não são direitos de minorias ou de grupos, mas de todos, em razão da humanidade de cada um. Por fim, com base em Carvalho Ramos, analisaremos os três exemplares do Programa Nacional de Direitos Humanos (PNDH) que o Brasil já teve, com destaque para a análise da tortura no Brasil.
presença de Habermas na ciência da informaçao no Brasil

Published: December 2022

Esta é a terceira vez que tenho a honra de participar dos Colóquios Habermas, o qual tem propiciado aos pesquisadores da Ciência da Informação, no Brasil, um encontro com o pensamento do filósofo e sociólogo Jürgen Habermas. No processo, aprendi com meus colegas pesquisadores e entrei na rede de conexões conceituais que tece o fio de Habermas no tear conceitual da Ciência da Informação, no Brasil. Começou em 2020, quando compartilhei o resultado de exercício sobre o conceito de esfera pública aplicado no Laboratório de Tecnologias Intelectuais – LTi. Na revisão da literatura, na Brapci, usando , identifiquei 94 artigos que fazem menção ao descritor, no período de 1972 a 2020. Alguns desses artigos me ajudaram a compreender o conceito e aplicá-lo às ações de mediação no Portal do LTi na web. Uma nova busca, combinando  tornou-se necessária, sendo recuperados apenas oito arquivos. O entendimento, ao final, é que as redes sociais do LTi podem ser consideradas como esfera pública, embora não apresentem o aspecto político partidário presente na abordagem habermasiana.
