Potentialities of water charge in the management of Brazilian water resources
Authors: Ferreira Fernanda Neves , Ribeiro Hebe Morganne Campos , Dutra Vítor Abner Borges
Published: July 2020

We investigated the application of economic instruments in the management of Brazilian water resources as mechanisms to stimulate the rational use of water and to recognise its economic value. We analysed water-charge scenarios at the national and international levels as a methodology to provide an economic estimate of environmental services related to water resources. Through bibliographical and documentary research, we identified the economic instruments applied to Brazilian water-resource management, describing the methodologies and values used Brazilian water charges and in some member states of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. We identified how economic valuation methods of environmental resources could contribute to the improvement of water charges, considering the environmental services offered by a healthy river basin. In the Brazilian and the international scenarios, water charge methodologies include the volumetry of abstracted or consumed water, associating some elements that indicate the pollution level. The prices per cubic meter of water are still very low in all the scenarios. Environmental valuation techniques can be an essential tool for rethinking the methodologies and costs applied in water charges, increasing the potential of water’s rational use through economic instruments.
The effect of SDS surfactant on surface reaeration coefficient: a laboratory scale approach

Published: July 2020

Surface reaeration coefficient (K2), which represents the transfer of oxygen at the air-water interface, is an important variable in aquatic ecosystems. K2 is influenced by several factors, including surfactants; furthermore, this coefficient is used in water-quality models, which requires its correct estimation. This study evaluated the effects of the surfactant Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate (SDS) on K2 in two different experimental systems. In a cylindrical reactor with a turbine-type mechanical stirrer, 15 reaeration experiments were carried out with SDS concentrations of 0.0; 0.25; 0.5; 1.0 and 1.5 mMol L-1 and stirrer rotation velocities of 25, 50 and 100 rpm. In a circular hydraulic channel, 8 reaeration experiments were carried out, in triplicate, with SDS concentrations of 0 and 1.5 mMol L-1 and agitation levels of Reynolds 4,500, 37,500; 49,200 and 54,000. In the reactor, regardless of the rotation velocity, the surfactant reduced K2 by 20%, due to a superficial film formation at the interface that made oxygen transfer difficult, due to a phenomenon known as “barrier effect”. In the channel, an approximate K2 reduction of 15% occurred at higher levels of water agitation. In the presence of surfactants, and at low levels of agitation, phenomena that increase K2 (i.e., Marangoni effect) may coexist with those that reduce K2 (i.e., barrier effect). We concluded that the presence of SDS in aquatic environments should be considered when estimating the surface reaeration coefficient, because this surfactant can contribute to uncertain K2 estimation.
Text Encoding and Processing as a University Writing Intensive Course
Authors: Beshero-Bondar Elisa E.
Published: July 2020

Can learning markup languages and coding constitute a “writing intensive” experience for university students? Having taught undergraduate students from a wide range of majors from humanities to the sciences to develop web-based research projects with the the XML family of languages, the author proposes that such coursework should fulfill a common state university requirement of a research-oriented “writing intensive” or "writing-across-the-curriculum" course. Although coding and programming skills are often represented as a kind of literacy, the idea that learning markup technologies may constitute an intensive writing experience is less familiar. This paper calls for teaching markup technologies widely in a cross-disciplinary context to give students across the curriculum an accessible yet intensively challenging course that integrates coding and writing to investigate research questions.

Not just any course that introduces students to markup should be considered writing intensive. Arguably, a class that involves tagging exercises without project development and that invites students to write reflectively about the experience is not engaging in an intensive way with the writing work we associate with coding in the full experience of developing a project. This paper argues that a writing intensive course involving the XML family of languages should require algorithmic problem-solving and decision making, research and citation of related projects, task management, and documentation to share the work and help others to build upon it. A course offering such experiences should be accessible to students from several disciplines, whether to a junior year English or history major with little to no programming experience, or a junior year computer science or information technology major with an interest in applied programming, unused to research questions that drive humanities scholarship. In presenting its case, this paper discusses the pedagogical theory and practice of teaching composition and code as well as the concepts of blind interchange and literate programming important to the XML markup community.
Four Basic Building Principles (Patterns) for XML Schemas
Authors: Brüggemann-Klein Anne
Published: July 2020

Practitioners have long identified four distinct patterns for construction of XSD schemas, known by the picturesque names “Salami Slice”, “Venetian Blind”, “Russian Doll”, and “Garden of Eden”, and based on two binary choices: are all the element declarations global? or (apart from the intended document root) local? Are all the type definitions global? Or (apart from the built-in types) local? Informal discussions often focus on the effect of pattern choice for schema re-use, encapsulation, coupling, and cohesion. But a more formal approach is needed to determine whether choice of pattern affects the languages we can define with the schemas we can write. Do all four patterns have the same expressive power? Or are some capable of defining things not expressible in the others?
Systems security assurance as (micro) publishing
Authors: Piez Wendell
Published: July 2020

Markup technologies are very general purpose, as reflects their generality of conception. They become interesting as well as useful as they are applied to accomplish goals in the real world. Since principles of generic declarative markup were first applied to accomplishing publishing-related goals in information management, design and application, 25 or 40 years ago, they have repeatedly demonstrated both their generality – they really do work – and their demand for applicability. Get one thing wrong, or leave it out, and the effort sits on a shelf. Design and deploy it carefully and sensitively, and even an inexpensive initiative can pay dividends for years. These systems become sustainable in the context of the sustainable operations of which they are a part.

Decades of experience have shown us how to use declarative markup to sustain publishing operations. Now we have to deal with similar problems of information description, management, reuse across contexts, referencing, tracing, and authentication, only at even larger scales than before, both in size and complexity. This paper proposes some lessons and insights we can bring from our experience with publishing technologies, and suggests how they might be applicable in the growing domain of systems security assurance.

THE ROLE OF INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS AND STRATEGIC STUDIES IN CONTEMPORARY SOCIAL SCIENCES: A CASE STUDY OF PAKISTAN
Authors: Hussain Nazir
Published: July 2020

Since the establishment of International Relations as an academic discipline in 1918, it has undergone great transformations. The end of World War-II with devastated nuclear technology brought forth national security perspectives impacting the study of IR and giving birth to strategic and security studies as specialized sub-disciplines. Presently the discipline of IR has very distinct and specialized sub-disciplines such as Strategic Studies, Security Studies, Peace and Conflict Resolution and Area Studies. In Pakistan, the first institute dealing with international affairs was established in 1947 and the first teaching department at Karachi University was formed in 1958. However, it suffered due to general apathy by the governments and public alike. In 1970s, Pakistan’s security matrix compelled to create Area Study Centers and Strategic Studies departments. Later, in early 2000s, electronic media played an important role in popularizing these disciplines. Lately, the HEC has established a Consortium of Social Sciences Universities in Pakistan to elevate the status of Social Sciences and launched various scholarship schemes to meet the challenge of qualified human resource. However, there is a need to establish an Academy of Social Sciences and a National Society of International Relations to promote these disciplines on strong financial and institutional footings.
USE OF SLANG AMONG DIFFERENT AGE GROUPS IN KARACHI
Authors: Mazhar Areeba
Published: July 2020

Slang is one of the important components of spoken discourse. It is integrated in our everyday language to such an extent that we cannot ignore its significance while analyzing the discourse specifically of the younger generation. This paper investigates the nature of Urdu and English slang used among different age groups; children, teenagers and adolescents in particular, living in Karachi. It also discusses the attitudes of elders, which includes parents and teachers, towards the use of slang words nowadays. Simultaneous cross sectional design is adopted to compare the age groups which helped in examining their discourse and exploring different categories in it, which emerged while observing the language of the age groups selected. The result shows that adolescents also incorporate slang in everyday life, as much as teenagers do but there are different categories that distinguish the vocabulary of the two age groups. Moreover informal discussions also helped elicit the responses of parents and teachers towards the excessive use of slang by the youngsters in our society.

              This study uses a method of normative legal research or literature study where the type of approach taken is the type of legislative approach (the statuta aproach) approach to legal argumentation (legal reasoning) and the approach of analyzing legal concepts and court decisions, with argumentation and systematization techniques, to knowing ; whether the legal sanctions that can be used by judges in making decisions against perpetrators of fake diploma users and how is the criminal responsibility against the use of fake diplomas, whether the verdicts of the Kupang District Court judges are appropriate to give a redundant effect on the perpetrators.

             It is hoped that in the case of the crime of forgery of the diploma the author expects law enforcement from the police to be more careful of the process of assigning suspects based on evidence and prosecutors in making indictments to be more careful in applying the articles before delegation to the Panel of Judges so that judges in receiving, examining and adjudicate cases more thoroughly against the facts revealed in the trial and pay more attention to the legal basis that will be applied to the perpetrator, in deciding the case so that it does not become a norm conflict in its application.

Essencialidade do ICMS sobre Energia Elétrica e o Incidente de Declaração de Inconstitucionalidade n. 174723-7/2001 do Estado do Paraná
Authors: Andrade Junior Ailton José
Published: July 2020

A Constituição Federal determina que o ICMS seletivo seja implementado por meio da regra da essencialidade, vinculando o legislador a seguir este critério. Entretanto, a Legislação do Estado do Paraná aplica a alíquota mais alta do imposto, posição referendada pelo Tribunal de Justiça do Estado do Paraná no Incidente de Declaração de Inconstitucionalidade n. 174723-7/2001. Assim, o presente estudo discute a relação deste precedente com a noção de vinculação do legislador à Constituição, analisando os argumentos utilizados no Tribunal em contraposição a outros precedentes do mesmo tema.

Tributação da Modalidade de Compartilhamento de Dados por Streaming no Ordenamento Jurídico-tributário Brasileiro
Authors: Mallon Milene Susan , Matos Jorge Rafael
Published: July 2020

Este artigo estuda, a partir de uma metodologia qualitativa, a tributação dos serviços de streaming, regulamentada em vista do atual conflito de competência entre Estados e Municípios. Essa divergência foi gerada pela alteração da Lei Complementar n. 116/2003, que dispõe sobre a tributação do Imposto sobre Serviços de Qualquer Natureza. A alteração efetuada em 2016 acrescentou o subitem 1.09 e prevê a tributação desses serviços. Da mesma forma, o Convênio n. 106/2017, exarado pelo Conselho Nacional de Política Fazendária, estipulou a incidência do Imposto sobre a Circulação de Mercadorias sobre o mesmo fato gerador, o streaming. Assim, faz-se necessário um estudo pormenorizado das hipóteses de incidência tributária do Imposto sobre Serviços de Qualquer Natureza e do Imposto sobre Circulação de Mercadorias e Serviços. Como resultado, averiguou-se a impossibilidade da tributação das plataformas de streaming pelas espécies tributárias existentes no ordenamento jurídico-tributário brasileiro.

Published: July 2020

Este estudo tem por objetivo analisar os efeitos tributários decorrentes da evolução da tecnologia, especialmente no que se refere à tributação sobre o consumo estadual e municipal. A ideia central, portanto, consiste em analisar se a materialidade dos referidos tributos, da forma como posta no ordenamento jurídico brasileiro, está apta a alcançar as empresas digitais e, caso contrário, quais as soluções viáveis para que as suas respectivas atividades sejam objeto de tributação. Para limitar o tema, o estudo analisará a matéria apenas sob a perspectiva dos softwares. Ao final, conclui-se que nenhum dos impostos incidentes sobre o consumo, seja o ICMS, seja o ISS, estão aptos, da forma em que idealizados, a incidir sobre os programas de computador, cabendo à União Federal valer-se da competência residual para alcançá-los.
Regras de Competência e a Tributação do Streaming
Authors: Fulginiti Bruno Capelli
Published: July 2020

O objetivo deste estudo é examinar se as regras de competência tributária autorizam a tributação das atividades de streaming. Para tanto, o artigo foi divido em duas partes. Na primeira, serão examinadas as regras constitucionais de competência de cada imposto à luz da jurisprudência do Supremo Tribunal Federal, a fim de identificar as suas respectivas materialidades. Na segunda parte, será analisada a atividade de streaming a fim de identificar a sua natureza jurídica e o seu eventual enquadramento em algumas das hipóteses de tributação examinadas. Com isso, pretende-se demonstrar que as regras de competência do ISSQN e do ICMS – na sua redação atual – não autorizam a tributação das atividades de streaming.

Published: July 2020

Este artigo pretende analisar a inovação trazida pela Lei n. 13.105/2015, o atual Código de Processo Civil (CPC/2015), que ao regulamentar a intervenção de terceiros, por meio do uso do novel Incidente de Desconsideração da Personalidade Jurídica (IDPJ), trouxe muitas dúvidas quanto a sua compatibilidade com a Lei de Execução Fiscal (LEF). Inicialmente, pretendemos analisar a aplicação subsidiária do CPC/2015 à execução fiscal, para, então, verificar os aspectos específicos atinentes ao próprio instituto do IDPJ e as possíveis antinomias existentes entre o instituto e a LEF. E finalmente, após a identificação dessas possíveis antinomias, apresentar uma nova ferramenta para interpretação unitária do sistema jurídico, de modo a não desconsiderar o espírito inovador e garantista do CPC/2015, bem como a dar a ótica unitária do sistema jurídico por meio da tese apresentada pelo Prof. Erik Jayme, da Universidade de Heidelberg, Alemanha – O Diálogo das Fontes (Der Dialog der Quellen).

Política Fiscal Internacional Brasileira
Authors: Castagna Ricardo Alessandro
Published: July 2020

O artigo visa examinar questões relevantes a serem consideradas na política fiscal internacional brasileira por força das políticas e diretrizes emanadas da OCDE nesta seara, sobretudo em razão da postulação do Brasil à condição de membro daquela entidade internacional. Esta análise passa inicialmente pela possibilidade de incorporação das diretrizes da OCDE ao direito interno brasileiro, utilizando o paradigma da força impositiva ou meramente indicativa dos comentários daquela Organização para interpretação de tratados para evitar a dupla tributação. Estabelecida essa premissa, o artigo debruça exame sobre temas que exigirão uma revisão na política fiscal internacional do Brasil frente à sua dissonância com as atuais políticas propugnadas pela OCDE, na hipótese de integração naquela Organização, com foco nos planos de ação do BEPS e no uso da cláusula tax sparing em tratados internacionais firmados pelo Brasil.

Optical Model Analysis of α + 40Ca at Elab=104 and 141.7 MeV
Authors: Abenga RC , Fiase JO , Ibeh GJ
Published: July 2020

Optical model analysis of the elastic scattering analysis of α + 40Ca at Elab=104 and 141.7 MeV have been performed using the folding model approach of the nuclear reaction video (NRV) knowledge base code. The M3Y-type effective nucleon-nucleon interaction derived using the lowest order constrained variational (LOCV) approach for mass number A=40 was used to obtain the results. Elastic scattering differential cross section data were obtained for this system at two bombarding energies. The calculated differential cross sections are in good agreement with the experimental results and the anticipated mass dependence of the M3Y-type effective interaction improved the results at forward angles. This shows that, the mass dependence of the M3Y-type effective interaction in our results should be of value in the description of the scattering of other nuclear systems
Improved Two-Point Block Backward Differentiation Formulae for Solving First Order Stiff Initial Value Problems of Ordinary Differential Equations
Authors: Adee S , Atabo VO
Published: July 2020

Two numerical methods- I2BBDF2 and I22BBDF2 that compute two points simultaneously at every step of integration by first providing a starting value via fourth order Runge-Kutta method are derived using Taylor series expansion. The two-point block schemes are derived by modifying the existing I2BBDF (5) method of Mohamad et al., (2018). Convergence and stability analysis of the new methods are established with the methods being of order two and A-stable in both cases. Despite the very low order of the new methods, the accuracy of these methods on some stiff initial value problems in the literature proves their superiority over existing methods of higher orders such as I2BBDF(5), BBDF(5), E2OSB(4) among others.
Energy Eigenvalues and Eigenfunctions of a Diatomic Molecule in Quadratic Exponential-type Potential
Authors: Eyube ES , Wadata U , Najoji SD
Published: July 2020

We have employed the exact quantization rule to obtain closed form expression for the bound state energy eigenvalues of a molecule in quadratic exponential-type potential. To deal with the spin-orbit centrifugal term of the effective potential energy function, we have used a Pekeris-type approximation scheme, we have also obtained closed form expression for the normalized radial wave functions by solving the Riccati equation with quadratic exponential-type potential. Using our derived energy eigenvalue formula, we have deduced expressions for the bound state energy eigenvalues of the Hulthén, Eckart and Deng-Fan potentials, considered as special cases of the quadratic exponential-type potential. Our deduced energy eigenvalues are in excellent agreement with those in the literature. We have computed bound states energy eigenvalues for six diatomic molecules viz: HCl, LiH, H2, SeH, VH and TiH. Our results are in total agreement with existing results in the literature for the s-wave and in good agreement for higher quantum states. By solving the Riccati equation, we have obtained normalized radial wave functions of the quadratic exponential-type potential, our results show higher probabilities of finding the molecule in the region 0.1 ≤ y ≤ 0.2

Published: July 2020

This work focuses on measurements of concentration of gaseous emissions such as CO, S2O H2S and  particulate matters (PM10 and PM2.5 ) released from ground level sources at specified receptor points downwind.  These sources were monitored using Altair Multi-gas and HAT 200 PM10 and PM2.5 detectors. From the selected sources monitored, Carbon Monoxide had the highest dispersion strength of 45%. An analysis of the concentrations show that refuse burning source has maximum concentrations of 111.2 mgm-3 for CO, 7.312 mgm-3 for SO2 , 5.342 mgm-3 for H2S, 0.542 mgm-3 for PM10 and 0.272 mgm-3 for PM2.5 respectively while  minimum concentrations of 77.42 mgm-3 for CO, 0.52 mgm-3 for SO2 , 1.44 mgm-3 for H2S, 0.48 mgm-3 for PM10 and 0.14 mgm-3 for PM2.5 respectively were obtained from wood burning source. This shows that CO has the highest concentrations of the pollutants monitored. Correlation between modeled and measured concentrations showed that wood burning source has higher validity of the model with coefficients of regression R2 for CO, SO2 , H2S, PM10 and PM2.5 as 0.885, 0.848, 0.574, 0.861 and 0.715 respectively while refuse burning has the least measure of validity with coefficients of regression R2 for CO, SO2 , H2S, PM10 and PM2.5 as 0.363, 0.416, 0.416, 0.431, 0.572 and 0.284 respectively. Based on Ambient Air Quality Standards, refuse burning sources are most harmful of the sources investigated. A comparative environmental impact assessment of the sources reveals that they are unsafe for selected pollutants. For CO (1 hour time average, the safe limit is 40mg/m3), SO2 (1 hour time average, the safe limit is 0.35040mg/m3) and H2S (1 hour time average,  the safe limit is 0.04240mg/m3).

Authors: Atabo VO , Olatunji PO
Published: July 2020

In this research article, we focus on the formulation of a 5-point block formula for solving first order ordinary differential equations (ODEs). The method is formulated via interpolation and collocation approach using power series expansion as the approximate solution. It has been established that the derived method is of order six. Basic properties such zero and absolute stabilities, convergence, order and error constant have also been investigated. The accuracy of the method was verified on some selected stiff IVPs, compared with some existing methods (DIBBDF, SDIBBDF, BBDF(4), BBDF(5) and odes15s) and test performance showed that the new method is viable.

Published: July 2020

The COVID-19 pandemic led to several critical challenges that impacted the healthcare system worldwide. Many guidelines have been developed internationally and nationally aiming to minimize the risk of infection and its sequential complications. Cancer patients on active treatment are at higher risk to get infected either due to the disease itself or the cancer treatment and other comorbid diseases. In this manuscript we share our local experience while delivering oncology services during the COVID-19 pandemic at Prince Sultan Military Medical City in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Voluntary Disclosure on Ownership Structure and Company Characteristics Perspective
Authors: Nurjannah Inna , Puspitosari Indriyana
Published: July 2020

According to agency theory, voluntary disclosure can be used as a way to reduce agency costs arising from agency problems. This voluntary disclosure is considered as a way to control agents. Voluntary disclosure is a form of providing information from the company to its stakeholders in addition to mandatory disclosure. Voluntary disclosure has benefits for both managers and shareholders and stakeholders. This study aims to investigate the effect of managerial ownership, foreign ownership, institutional ownership, company size and company age on the extent of voluntary disclosure made by the company. By using 324 observations of companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange in 2017-2018 the results of the Random effect models state that there is a positive influence between company size and company age. then managerial ownership and voluntary disclosure have a negative influence. Institutional ownership and foreign ownership have no influence on voluntary disclosure.

Abstract. Projection of the contribution of ice sheets to sea level change as part of
the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 (CMIP6) takes the form
of simulations from coupled ice sheet–climate models and stand-alone ice
sheet models, overseen by the Ice Sheet Model Intercomparison Project for
CMIP6 (ISMIP6). This paper describes the experimental setup for
process-based sea level change projections to be performed with stand-alone
Greenland and Antarctic ice sheet models in the context of ISMIP6. The
ISMIP6 protocol relies on a suite of polar atmospheric and oceanic
CMIP-based forcing for ice sheet models, in order to explore the uncertainty
in projected sea level change due to future emissions scenarios, CMIP
models, ice sheet models, and parameterizations for ice–ocean interactions.
We describe here the approach taken for defining the suite of ISMIP6
stand-alone ice sheet simulations, document the experimental framework and
implementation, and present an overview of the ISMIP6 forcing to be
used by participating ice sheet modeling groups.
Tobacco use cessation efforts among private dental practitioners of Delhi, India

Published: July 2020

Introduction: Tobacco use remains the single largest cause of premature death around the world. Motivating tobacco users through behavioral counseling is the mainstay for achieving tobacco abstinence. Research evidence suggests a larger role of dental professionals in motivating tobacco users to quit. The efforts of private dental practitioners in providing Tobacco Cessation Interventions (TCI) in their clinics need to be measured and acknowledged.Methods: A cross-sectional survey based on self-administered questionnaire with private dental practitioners was carried out in the state of Delhi, India. The main objectives of the survey were to assess the current practices and the barriers experienced in providing TCI by the participating dentists. Statistical analysis was conducted to find out the association between independent variables and the responses to questions on tobacco cessation.Results: The mean age and years of practice of 297 participating dentists was 37.2 (SD 9.8) and 11.9 (SD 9.5) years respectively. Most of them were graduate (N=204, 68.7%). Only 17.2% (N=51) of the participating dentists had undergone any training in providing TCI. Most of the dentists felt that the lack of proper training (N=146, 49.2%) and resistance by patients (N=185, 62.5%) are the main barriers in providing TCI. Younger dentists (<35 years) performed significantly better than older dentists in many parameters pertaining to attitude and practices of TCI in their clinics.Conclusion: This is a pioneer survey conducted on the issue of TCI provided by private dental practitioners of Delhi. The study results show that around 2/3rds of the participating private dental practitioners were providing TCI to their patients but there are certain barriers for its proper implementation. Therefore, there is an urgent need to remove these self-reported barriers and build self-confidence among the dentists for instituting effective TCI in their clinics.
El registro de la realidad desde la periferia. Examen del documental independiente en el oriente de Cuba
Authors: Lloga-Sanz Carlos Guillermo
Published: July 2020

El artículo explora la producción documental independiente en el oriente de Cuba. Analiza un ambiente de creación cuyas obras, en su gran mayoría, han circulado al margen de los circuitos fundamentales del audiovisual en Cuba y, en consecuencia, han sido ignorados por la literatura sobre cine cubano. En un primer momento, se escruta el contexto de la documentalística en la región este de la Isla y se identifican las principales formas de construcción audiovisual actuantes en el territorio. A continuación, se inquiere acerca de la noción misma de cine independiente en el campo de los film studies, se establecen sus corrientes teóricas fundamentales y se señalan sus particularidades en el ámbito cubano. Seguidamente, se formula una concepción operativa del cine independiente adaptable a las coyunturas de realización de entornos mediáticos altamente centralizados. Por último, se determinan los rasgos fundamentales que caracterizan esta forma de producción documental en el oriente de Cuba. El presente texto reconoce en el documental independiente una forma dinámica en transición.
La estrategia cromática de 'Arrebato': vanguardia, experimentación y valores psicológicos del rojo en la puesta en escena cinematográfica
Authors: Álvarez-Gómez Raúl
Published: July 2020

¿Los estudios publicados sobre Arrebato (Iván Zulueta, 1980) se centran en el lenguaje experimental de la película y en la condición de rara avis que esta ocupa en el panorama del cine español de la Transición (1975-1982). Este trabajo propone un estudio formal de la puesta en escena del film, y, en concreto, de una estrategia cromática basada en el uso psicológico del color rojo mediante la cual el director vincula los estados de ánimo arrebatados que sacuden a los tres protagonistas (José, Pedro y Ana) con los temas centrales del discurso de la película: el vampirismo, las adicciones, la infancia y la inmortalidad. Se establece así un relato formal icónico en el que los distintos objetos y elementos rojos que aparecen en cada escena cumplen una función narrativa y simbólica que habla tanto del contexto histórico español de la época como de las tendencias del cine experimental del momento.
