Genocide and the Plague of Fantasies in La Llorona and Sueño en otro idioma
Authors: Kantaris Geoffrey
Published: January 2025

This paper examines how two contemporary Latin American films—Jayro Bustamante’s La Llorona and Ernesto Contreras’s Sueño en otro idioma—engage with physical and cultural genocide through distinct deployments of fantasy elements that reflect the evolution of horror and magic-realist genres in Latin American cinema. The films repurpose fantastical elements through horror and mythopoetic narrative in order to confront the legacies of colonial trauma. Building on Slavoj Žižek’s concept of the plague of fantasies, the paper examines how La Llorona mobilizes the Mesoamerican folk figure of La Llorona to connect contemporary genocide in Guatemala with its historical necropolitical origins, while Sueño en otro idioma examines cultural genocide through the extinction of an indigenous language in Mexico. Both films demonstrate how fantasy can function in destabilizing ways in postcolonial contexts, offering distorted glimpses of horrors that resist direct representation. Through close analysis of these works, the paper reveals how contemporary Latin American cinema deploys fantasy elements, including magic realist conventions, to provide a fundamental challenge to colonial epistemologies, by exposing the phantasmatic underpinnings of colonial violence and its contemporary reverberations.
The Magical-Real Videogame
Authors: Hart Stephen
Published: January 2025

In this essay I focus on a subject that has not been treated at any great length in the past, that is, the relationship between magical realism and the videogame. This is surprising because even a cursory glance at the types of videogames that are currently available on the market shows that they are full of techniques and surprises and wonders that are characteristic of the genre of magical realism. This essay focuses on the overlap between the videogame genre and other related genres such as literature and film, particularly in terms of its use of the technique of magic.
“Beauty Would Roll Itself up”: From Beauty to the Feminine Sublime in To the Lighthouse
Authors: Yang Yue
Published: January 2025

Known for her unconventional approach to shaping feminist aesthetics through writing, Virginia Woolf portrays a woman painter’s quest for autonomy in the novel To the Lighthouse. Critics have probed Woolf’s insightful rewriting of the sublime from different angles, but systemic research into her innovative refashioning of the feminine sublime in her novels remains inadequate. Applying the classic and feminist theories on the sublime and beauty, the article investigates how Woolf reimagines a new sublime mode for Lily Briscoe. The article first focuses on how Virginia Woolf writes her personal life into Lily Briscoe’s quest for the feminine sublime: the archetypal mother’s beauty haunts the woman artist until she works out a new pattern that redefines the position of beauty and sublimity. It then examines Lily’s first step to challenge the traditional aesthetics of beauty by embracing her heterogeneity; namely, by accepting her ambivalent attitudes towards Mrs. Ramsay’s maternity, she empowers the inner self oppressed by the patriarchal society. Furthermore, Lily enriches the feminine sublime by breaking beyond the subject–object binary and succeeding in building intersubjectivity between her and Mrs. Ramsay, and her and Mr. Ramsay. The article concludes that to attain autonomy, Lily Briscoe builds her feminine sublime by cultivating her heterogeneity and subjectifying the Other. It further reveals that through the portrayal of Lily in To the Lighthouse, Woolf conveys her rebellion against the beauty fashioned within patriarchal discourse and promotes the new sublime for women artists like herself.

Relative papers and dissertations have been increasing with an academic boom of research programs. By analyzing the statistics and representative works on American science fiction in China, it is revealed that the research output has been flourishing in the 21st century in terms of its research quantity and quality, though there is still much to be improved in its depth, breadth, and standardization. It is suggested that in the research of science fiction as a form of world literature, broader vision and deeper insight should be explored in such aspects as comprehensive, interdisciplinary, and comparative studies.
Pengaruh ROA, ROE, dan DER Terhadap Pertumbuhan Laba Pada Perusahaan Sektor Industri Tekstil Yang Terdaftar di Bursa Efek Indonesia
Authors: Saragi Nanda Putra
Published: January 2025

This study aims to analyze the influence of Return on Assets (ROA), Return on Equity (ROE), and Debt to Equity Ratio (DER) as an independent variable to profit growth as a dependent variable, both partially and simultaneously, in textile industry companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the 2021-2023 period. The research employs multiple linear regression analysis, processed using SPSS version 29. The results indicate that, partially, ROA, DER significantly influence profit growth, inversely proportional to the other 2 variables, the ROE variable has a negative effect on profit growth. Simultaneously, these independent variables contribute substantially to the dependent variable, with a coefficient of determination (R²) value of 99.2%, indicating that almost all variations in profit growth can be explained by ROA, ROE, and DER. The regression model used has passed the classical assumption tests, including normality, multicollinearity, heteroscedasticity, and autocorrelation tests, ensuring that the results are reliable, valid, and applicable. This study offers practical implications for company management, particularly in managing assets, equity, and financial structure to optimize profit growth for stakeholders and shareholders. Future researchers are advised to include additional relevant variables, such as liquidity or company size, and to expand the sample size to enhance the generalizability and applicability of the findings.
Clustering model for the first line of defense in IDS for IoT
Authors: Ali Mehdi Syed , Zeeshan Hussain Syed
Published: January 2025

The Internet of Things (IoT) applications are prone to security attacks due to their distributed nature. Intrusion detection systems are the prominent security devices used to protect IoT devices in the network. There have been various kinds of intrusion detection systems designed especially for IoT networks. Still, each faces some challenges like high false rate, failure to detect unknown threats, failure to provide accurate results in real-time monitoring, etc. IoT networks generate huge amounts of data with varying traffic having noise and it is not always possible to label them as normal or malicious. Moreover, traditional signature-based IDS detects only predefined attacks and fails to detect zero-day attacks. In such scenarios, signature-based IDS for IoT are not successful and thus there is a need to use unsupervised learning algorithms of clustering and other machine learning models to detect anomalies in IoT networks. This paper therefore compares various clustering methods and selects the best clustering method that can be used with a machine learning model to enhance the accuracy of the intrusion detection system for IoT networks. The unsupervised clustering algorithm is used for identifying the outliers in IoT device behavior and traffic indicating any security threat. The machine learning algorithms with clustering algorithms help in the detection of known and unknown threats using behavior profiling and clustering techniques.

This research evaluates three clustering techniques DBSCAN, K-Means, and Agglomerative Clustering in the context of IoT IDS. It uses metrics such as accuracy, precision, recall, and false positive rate. Experimental results show that DBSCAN clustering proves to be beneficial in detecting threats, reduces false rates, and helps in real-time IoT threat detection when compared to other clustering algorithms methods. These findings lay the importance of DBSCAN-based clustering in IDS helps to enhance security in complex IoT networks. This outcome shall be used to come up with a real-time hybrid model to enhance the precision of IDS in IoT networks.
An Overview Of The Dispute Resolution Mechanism And The Different Types Of Methods Adopted In India To Resolve The Disputes With Its Pros And Cons
Authors: Manpreet Kaur Dr.
Published: January 2025

Although law and literature are different branches of social science, yet they are common in many aspects both gave an utmost importance to humanity and treat all humans as equal. Literature and law have both facilitated the development of human beings and also have played a very important role and acted as a catalyst in evolving societal norms. Literature has always facilitated smooth functioning of law.it is difficult to imagine a human society without conflict of interests. Just like human conflicts are inevitable so equal inevitable are the disputes and for resolving these disputes there is a legal system in every society. Dispute resolution is an essential element of social peace and harmony1. With the evolution of modern states and sophisticated legal systems, Courts run on very formal lines and presided over by trained judges, came to be almost exclusively entrusted with the responsibility of resolution of disputes. With the increase in number of cases because of high degree of formalization, the pace of administration of disputes became time consuming which lead to a search for a complete mechanism to the court process for speedy resolution of disputes. From all the attention it has received, one can assume that it is a new concept but it is based on a long and age-old tradition in India to resolve the disputes outside the formal legal system. Alternative dispute resolution (ADR) sometimes called 'Appropriate Dispute Resolution, is a general term referring to modes of conflict resolution other than those associated with courts and tribunals. ADR includes a mixed bag of activities ranging from adjudication and formal, binding arbitration to informal, open door policies, with intermediate possibilities including mediation, conciliation, and Ombudsman schemes2. The paper will discuss in detail the dispute resolution mechanism and the different types of methods adopted in India to resolve the disputes amicably outside the courts.

Com o intuito de aproximar estudantes universitários da área da saúde e indivíduos em situação de rua ou carência, foi promovido o The Street Store - uma “loja de rua”. Esse projeto reuniu aproximadamente 120 acadêmicos dos diversos cursos do Centro de Ciências da Saúde de uma instituição acadêmica, e permitiu, além da educação dos voluntários em relação às vulnerabilidades humanas, o acesso à saúde e inclusão social por parte da população atendida. Seguindo as medidas sanitárias necessárias (distanciamento social, uso de máscaras, álcool em gel, limpeza de superfícies, escalonamentos entre os participantes), a atividade contou com dois setores: um de “compra” de roupas e outro de saúde. No primeiro, as pessoas atendidas escolheram peças de roupas a custo zero, enquanto no segundo, realizaram aferição de pressão arterial, verificação de índice glicêmico, medição de saturação de oxigênio, ensino de lavagem correta de mãos e técnica de escovação dos dentes, tiveram acesso a banho, manicure, pedicure e recebimento de kits de higiene pessoal. A ação ocorreu em uma instituição beneficente que atende pessoas em situação de rua e mais de 100 famílias socialmente desfavorecidas da região. Os objetivos do projeto foram alcançados com êxito, uma vez que a intervenção proporcionou educação multidisciplinar e humanizada aos voluntários, além de garantir atendimento técnico e humano, inclusão social e condições mínimas de vida a populações diariamente negligenciadas.

As representações indígenas nos livros didáticos de história do ensino fundamental no período de 2013 a 2022
Authors: Silva Ilma Maria de Oliveira , Coelho Arlete de Sousa
Published: January 2025

Neste trabalho, analisamos como os povos indígenas são representados nos livros didáticos de História do Ensino Fundamental no período de 2013 a 2022. O critério utilizado para fazer o recorte histórico foi o período pós-publicação da Lei 11.645/2008 que determina, a inclusão nos currículos escolares, do Ensino Fundamental e Ensino Médio da Educação Básica, a História e Cultura dos povos indígenas e dos afros brasileiros. A pesquisa foi documental. Analisamos três livros de História dos anos iniciais do Ensino Fundamental, das edições de 2013 a 2022. Os livros didáticos pesquisados apresentam equívocos em relação aos povos indígenas, ora colocando-os numa concepção romantizada, ora como povos do passado e bárbaros. As lutas e resistências dos indígenas por séculos, pelos seus direitos e bem viver são silenciadas nos livros didáticos analisados. Diante da pesquisa sugerimos que é preciso conhecer outra história dos povos indígenas que não seja pelo alinhavo dos dominadores e do colonialismo.

Uma perspectiva dialógica da educação musical com a educação no campo
Authors: Fagundes Mirian Monteiro Veiga
Published: January 2025

Este artigo visa contextualizar as dificuldades no processo ensino/aprendizagem nas escolas do campo, tendo como foco a linguagem musical como ferramenta pedagógica e a importância de novas práticas. Será apresentada uma perspectiva sobre o conceito de dialogismo enquanto princípio pedagógico na educação musical proposta pelo filósofo e teórico russo Mikhail Bakhtin (1895-1975) e o discurso como um fenômeno social e cultural. Para o tema de nossa reflexão, traremos Paulo Freire com seus princípios dialógicos no campo da educação, que acreditava que o diálogo não é apenas um instrumento metodológico. Em vez disso, é uma comunicação em que a questão da diferença no local de enunciação é superada pela questão da diferença como qualidade ou valor de qualificação. Ainda mais, será enfatizado como a educação e o trabalho no campo são considerados elementos cruciais para compreender as relações sociais, econômicas e culturais que moldam a vida das pessoas nessas áreas trazendo o Movimento dos Trabalhadores Rurais Sem Terra (MST) como exemplo de organização social que luta pela reforma agrária e pela justiça social no campo.
Ratio of initial mitral flow velocity and end-diastolic mitral flow velocity as prognostic factors in the primary care: a survival analysis
Authors: Leite Adson Renato , Rosa Maria Luiza Garcia , Jorge Antônio José Lagoeiro
Published: January 2025

Introduction: Diastolic dysfunction (DD) has a significant impact on the non-hospitalized population and is associated with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and higher mortality. Early diagnosis is crucial and echocardiography, due to its accessibility and correlation with invasive data, is essential. Among the parameters assessed, the E/A ratio stands out for reflecting diastolic function and is fundamental in the early identification of alterations that can modify the course of the disease, reducing individual and collective impacts. Aim: To assess the potential of the ratio between initial mitral flow velocity and end-diastolic mitral flow velocity (E/A) as a prognostic factor for hospitalization for cardiovascular causes and deaths in primary health care. Method: A community-based longitudinal observational ecological study was carried out, recruiting 633 individuals for clinical evaluation and echocardiography with tissue Doppler and pulsed Doppler spectral analysis to measure the velocity of the E/A ratio, with two different cut-off points for characterizing DD. Results: After six years, 560 participants completed the study to investigate the causes of hospitalization and death. Survival and hazard ratio analyses were carried out. Multivariate Cox regression with Schoenfeld residual analysis in the univariate analysis, and a final model were created. 355 (63%) were women aged around 59. 405 participants (72.3%) were diagnosed with hypertension, 133 (23.8%) were diagnosed with diabetes and 99 (17.7%) were current smokers. A crude HR of 3.47 and 3.60 and 3.02 and 0.41 was identified for DD class II and III at cut-off points 1 and 2 respectively (p<0.01). After adjusting for gender and age, the HR was 1.69, 2.80 and 1.53 and 0.49 for DD class II and III at cut-off points 1 and 2 respectively (p>0.1). Conclusion: The E/A ratio showed an altered pattern in the majority of study participants who were not diagnosed with heart failure, which may characterize its subclinical form, stage B HF.

A hanseníase é uma doença infectocontagiosa crônica causada pelo Mycobacterium leprae, um bacilo ácido-álcool resistente (BAAR) que apresenta tropismo para pele e mucosas e para nervos periféricos. A doença tem uma apresentação clínica diversa, de evolução lenta e progressiva. O objetivo deste trabalho é revisar a literatura relacionada aos achados histopatológicos do eritema nodoso hansênico. Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa da literatura, onde a busca foi realizada na base de dados PubMed. Foram incluídos artigos de investigação que respondessem à questão norteadora: "Quais os principais achados histopatológicos do eritema nodoso hansênico?" A busca dos artigos foi realizada utilizando os descritores "erythema nodosum" AND "Leprosy” AND “pathology", no período entre 2019 e 2023. Foram encontrados 24 artigos, dos quais 09 atendiam aos critérios e foram incluídos na seleção. O Eritema Nodoso Hansênico é uma reação de hipersensibilidade do tipo III da Classificação de Gell e Coombs, pois é mediada por imunocomplexos, que ativam o sistema complemento, gerando inflamação e produzindo os sinais e sintomas: nódulos eritematosos dolorosos, febre, artralgia, astenia. Há ainda formas atípicas da reação do tipo 2, como o Fenômeno de Lúcio ou o Eritema Nodoso Necrotizante, que evoluem com lesões ulcero necróticas, e a reação do tipo Síndrome de Sweet, em que se apresentam lesões vesículo-bolhosas. Embora o diagnóstico da hanseníase seja clinico-epidemiológico, a biópsia das lesões pode ser extremamente útil, especialmente quando o quadro inclui reações hansênicas e quando há necessidade de distinguir diagnósticos diferenciais.

Published: January 2025

Tobacco dependency remains a significant global public health issue, with diverse cultural contexts presenting unique challenges and opportunities for effective treatment. This paper reviews existing models and interventions tailored to cross-cultural settings, emphasizing the importance of cultural competence in healthcare delivery. The analysis highlights key barriers to treatment, including cultural attitudes, language disparities, and economic inequities, while underscoring the success of approaches like motivational interviewing, community-based initiatives, and technology-driven interventions. Success stories from culturally distinct populations demonstrate the value of integrating traditional practices, community engagement, and linguistically relevant resources. However, limitations in scalability, digital equity, and integration into mainstream healthcare systems reveal significant gaps. Recommendations include prioritizing cultural assessments, enhancing provider training, leveraging technology, and conducting longitudinal research to refine intervention strategies. This review concludes with actionable steps to advance equitable, culturally sensitive tobacco dependency treatment, fostering better health outcomes for diverse populations globally.

When writing the history of towns and villages in Slovakia, Slovak historians have focused on researching the history of settlement. The results of their work provide the foundations on which the history within regions or individual localities can be extended. One such locality is the village of Zbudské Dlhé, whose history dates back to the reign of the Hungarian King Andrew II. At that time, it was a village associated with a large estate, from which villages gradually emerged both in the valley of the Laborec River and in the adjacent Laborec Highlands. One of the important aspects of examining the origins and development of this area is to follow its economic development. This development was based on everyday needs and was governed by its own laws. Hungarian customary law offers an interpretative key to medieval documents. It also allows for the observation of the economic condition of the locality or a defined territory.

Published: January 2025

The novelty of this research will be primarily that for the first time there will be an attempt not only to discover Cyrillic documents but also to provide specific scientific institutions where they are located, which will be extremely useful not only for scientists but also for students, masters, doctoral students and other researchers for writing their annual or diploma theses. This article will be an attempt to study the locations of Cyrillic documents from the history of Greek Catholics during the period of Czechoslovakia 1918-1939 in the archives and libraries of the modern Czech Republic and Slovakia. The main task will be to facilitate the search stage for students, doctoral students, and scientists studying the history of the Church.

BACKGROUND

Depression is a prevalent affective disorder, but its pathophysiology remains unclear. Dysfunction in the gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)-ergic system may contribute to its onset. Recently, antidepressants (e.g., brexanolone, zuranolone) targeting the GABA-A receptor were introduced. The zona incerta (ZI), an inhibitory subthalamic region mainly composed of GABAergic neurons, has been implicated in emotional regulation. Deep brain stimulation of the ZI in humans affects anxiety and depression symptoms, while activation of ZI neurons in mice can either worsen or alleviate anxiety. Currently, there is no direct evidence linking GABAergic neurons in the ZI to depression-like behaviors in rodents.

AIM

To explore the relationship between GABAergic neurons in the ZI and depression-like behaviors in mice.

METHODS

A chronic restraint stress (CRS) model was utilized to induce depression in mice. Whole-cell patch-clamp recordings assessed the excitability changes of GABAergic neurons in the ZI. Additionally, chemogenetic techniques were employed to modulate ZI GABAergic neurons. The performance of the mice in behavioral tests for depression and anxiety was observed.

RESULTS

The findings indicated that GABAergic neurons in the ZI were closely associated with depression-like behaviors in mice. Twenty-eight days after the CRS model was established, depression-like and anxiety-like behaviors were observed in the mice. The excitability of GABAergic neurons in the ZI was reduced. Chemogenetic activation of these neurons alleviated CRS-induced depression-like and anxiety-like behaviors. Conversely, inhibition of GABAergic neurons in the ZI led to changes in emotion-related behavioral outcomes in mice.

CONCLUSION

Activity of GABAergic neurons in the ZI was closely associated with depression-like phenotypes in mice, suggesting that these neurons could be a potential therapeutic target for treating depression.

Depression levels of the general public increases during the COVID-19 pandemic in China: A web-based cross-sectional survey
Authors: Qiu Qin-Ming , Xiao Yu
Published: January 2025

BACKGROUND

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak lasted several months, having started in December 2019. This study aimed to report the impacts of various factors on the depression levels of the general public and ascertain how emotional measures could be affected by psychosocial factors during the COVID-19 pandemic.

AIM

To investigate the depression levels of the general public in China during the COVID-19 pandemic.

METHODS

A total of 2001 self-reported questionnaires about Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) were collected on August 22, 2022 via the website. Each questionnaire included four levels of depression and other demographic information. The BDI scores and incidences of different depression levels were compared between various groups of respondents. χ 2 analysis and the two-tailed t -test were used to assess categorical and continuous data, respectively. Multiple linear regressions and logistic regressions were employed for correlation analysis.

RESULTS

The averaged BDI score in this study was higher than that for the non-epidemic periods, as reported in previous studies. Even higher BDI scores and incidences of moderate and severe depression were recorded for people who were quarantined for suspected COVID-19 infection, compared to the respondents who were not quarantined. The participants who did not take protective measures were associated with higher BDI scores than those who made efforts to keep themselves relatively safer. Similarly, the people who did not return to work had higher BDI scores compared to those managed to. A significant association existed between the depression levels of the subgroups and each of the factors, except gender and location of residence. However, quarantine was the most relative predictor for depression levels, followed by failure to take preventive measures and losing a partner, either through divorce or death.

CONCLUSION

Based on these data, psychological interventions for the various subpopulations in the general public can be implemented during and after the COVID-19 pandemic. Other countries can also use the data as a reference.
