Descartes’ error”: evidences for the role of brain regions and their connections in introspective thoughts and self-identity
Authors: Teixeira Igor de Lima e , Battaglini Marina , Alvarenga Tarcisio , Santos Patrick Sousa
Published: July 2023

Introduction: René Descartes was a French philosopher, considered the father of rationalism and one of the most important thinkers in history. Based on his methodical doubts’ technique, the author concluded that he exists as a thinking thing, that if “I think, therefore I am”. He establishes that he had no more doubts that he really existed as thought and as a body, however, he could not think that thought and body were two equal substances, since they had certain different properties, therefore, the author came to believe that mind and body were distinct substances. Since the 17th century, advances in neuroscience have helped to clarify which brain regions are involved in introspective and self-referential thinking. Methods: We reviewed through searches in PubMed, MEDLINE, SciELO and Scopus the brain regions involved in the self-referential and introspective thinking. Results: Recent studies show that self-referential and introspective thinking are located mainly in regions related especially to the Default Mode Network, mainly located in the frontal regions. Especially the “autobiographical self” shows greater activity in memory-related regions (hippocampus and posterior cingulate cortices), medial prefrontal cortex, and insula cortices, but the establishment of the “self” as the individual’s relationship to the world around it, uses regions related to exteroception, such as secondary and tertiary sensitive areas. For self-referenced thinking, there is greater engagement of the medial frontal cortex regions, more specifically in Brodmann’s area 10, and this structure is also related to the DMN. Conclusion: The advancement of neuroscience has allowed demonstrating that mental processes and thoughts happen as consequences of certain brain connections and processes. Thus, we ask poetic license to the great philosopher to say “the brain connections exist, therefore we think”.

Authors: Paiva Lara Teixeira , Martins Aldrin Pedroza , Christo Paulo Pereira , Gomes Antônio Pereira
Published: July 2023

O coronavirus diasease 2019 (COVID-19) may be associated with severe neurological complications, among them, encephalitis. Neurological manifestations are assigned to several mechanisms, such as direct viral infection and immunemediated processes. This case series aims to describe patients who presented rhombacephalitis after or during severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. Case report 1: Female, 26-year-old, had mild COVID-19 infection, followed by nausea and vomiting, which evolved to headache and vertigo, later associated with dysarthria, dysphagia, diplopia, blurred visual, hypoacusis, postural instability and right hemiparesis. Brain resonance image showed hypersignal in the midbrain, pons and medula oblonga. Normal cerebrospinal fluid. Therapy with methylprednisolone was performed, as the same time with ampicilin therapeutic test, followed by plasmapheresis,all without response. Progressed with difficulty in trunk support, use of nasogastric tube and Cognitive impairment. After neurological decline and septic shock, he evolved to death. Case report 2: Female, with suspected psychiatric diagnosis, 27-yearold, interned due to left peripheral facial paralysis associated with right hemiparesis, diplopia, ataxia, dysarthria, strabismus and fever. Positive for COVID-19. Brain resonance with lesions in the cerebellum, midbrain, bridge and white matter of the cerebral hemispheres, some with contrast uptake. Normal cerebrospinal fluid. Performed empirical treatment with ampicillin and acyclovir, in addition to therapy with methylprednisolone, partial improvement. In eleven months, it evolved with worsening of symptoms, associated with seizures, convulsive status and coma. Repeated corticosteroids, followed by immunoglobulin and plasmapheresis. She was discharged with severe neurological sequelae and is still in rehabilitation. This is an extremely relevant and current topic, considering the world scenario of COVID-19 and the lack of evidence for the treatment of possible neurological conditions related to SARS-CoV-2 infection.
Neuro Behçet’s disease: report of a rare disease with neurologic presentation
Authors: Paiva Lara Teixeira , Schumann Taianne Fiore , Araujo Raquel Vassão , Gomes Antônio Pereira
Published: July 2023

Introduction: Behçet’s disease is a multisystem disease consisting of oral lesions, genital ulcers and uveitis with unpredictable evolution. Vasculitic and parenchymal involvement of the central nervous system is uncommon. The aim is to describe a case of systemic rheumatologic disease with unusual central involvement in clinical practice. Case report: Woman, 57-year-old, with a previous history of rheumatoid arthritis for 23 years, presented oral and genital ulcers in addition to paresthesia in the right hemiface and subacute change in visual acuity and bilateral ocular pain in 2017. She was diagnosed with Behçet’s Disease with neurological involvement, being submitted to pulse therapy with Cyclophosphamide and maintenance treatment with Azathioprine. She recurred with the same neurological symptoms in 2020, readmitted in the context of severe thrombocytopenia, being diagnosed with idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura. Pulse therapy with Methylprednisolone was performed, with improvement of symptoms, but thrombocytopenia was maintained. He opted for the maintenance of Immunoglobulin then, with subsequent initiation of Rituximab. Bilateral ocular sequelae persisted with low acuity and hypoesthesia in the path of the trigeminal nerve on the right. Maintains good control of the disease using Rituximab at weaning and maintenance dose of Prednisone. Conclusion: The prognosis of Behçet’s disease is poor when the central nervous system is affected and studies about treatment still have limited evidence. Early identification of the disease is essential to enable rapid and adequate treatment.
Aneurysm in the vein of galenus in a newborn: case report
Authors: Mota Geovana Souza , Vilela Julia Cortapassi Amaral , Melo Amandra Gabriele Coelho Rodrigues
Published: July 2023

Case presentation: M.L.S, 17-year-old, G1P0A0, 35 weeks, referred to the pediatric neurosurgery service for prenatal evaluation and postpartum surgical planning because the fetus has ventricular asymmetry on initial ultrasound examination. Previously the mother had no morphological ultrasound and no proper prenatal care, she was referred to the neurosurgery service but did not attend the appointment, which made it difficult to transfer to an appropriate hospital. After the initial examination, she underwent magnetic resonance imaging, a fetal morphology study and transcranial Doppler ultrasound that showed the presence of a bulky expandable mass compatible with a galenary vein aneurysm. The patient presented pulmonary hypertension that made surgical intervention impossible and died on the 12th day of life due to refractory heart failure. Case discussion: Galen’s vein has a great importance because it drains the central portion of the brain. Prenatal developmental aneurysmal malformation of the gallenary vein begins in the first trimester of gestation, with variable severity and clinical manifestations that can manifest intrauterine with signs of heart failure, hydrocephalus or oligohydramnios. The patient evolved with significant respiratory distress and acute pulmonary edema abs the severity of the condition made it impossible to perform the surgery. Vein of Galen aneurysm constitutes less than 1% of the cases of congenital vascular malformation, its early diagnosis is of great importance, especially since the condition has a high lethality rate. The recognition of this condition based on ultrasound in the prenatal period is a fundamental factor for the diagnosis of the aneurysm and its subsequent referral to a reference center. In this way it is possible to define the best treatment model. Conclusion: It is assumed that if it were diagnosed and referred properly during the intrauterine period, it would be possible to evolve successfully and diminish or nullify the pathophysiological consequences of the newborn aneurysm of Galen’s vein.

Published: July 2023

Introduction: Intravenous recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rtPA) treatment for acute ischemic stroke works by achieving recanalization of intracranial occlusion resulting in restoration of flow and prevention of infarct expansion. Data on recanalization after intravenous thrombolysis are performed by angiographic methods and transcranial Doppler monitoring studies. We aimed to report one case of complete recanalization of large vessel occlusion in ischemic stroke with intravenous thrombolysis with rtPA. Case report: Pacient, 27 years old, male, brown, with coronary artery disease and ischemic cardiomyopathy, with clinical presentation of weakness in the left side and speech alteration 75 minutes ago, with National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) of 9 points. At admission, magnética ressonante imaging of the head showed restriction in the diffusion-wighted imaging sequence in basal ganglia and internal capsule topography, with magnetic resoance angiography (MRA) showing a stop in the M1 segment of the right middle cerebral artery (MCA). The patient underwent IV thrombolysis with rtPA 160 minutes after the ictus, uneventfully (NIHSS 0 points at the end of treatment). Control MRA (four hours after thrombolysis) showed complete recanalization of the M1 segment of the right MCA. Discussion: Despite the known limitation of intravenous rtPA in recanalization of large vessel occlusion and the increasing use of mechanical thrombectomy, it is necessary to value the role of intravenous thrombolysis in this setting, considering the difficulties in accessing endovascular treatment still present in our country. More studies are needed on recanalization rates ntravenous thrombolysis in large vessel occlusion cases.

Published: July 2023

Introduction: Vutrisiran and patisiran are approved RNAi therapeutics that reduce TTR protein production to treat hereditary transthyretin-mediated (hATTR) amyloidosis with polyneuropathy (PN). Objectives: Assess the relative efficacy of RNAi therapeutics for hATTR amyloidosis with PN. Methods: In the Phase 3 HELIOS-A study (NCT03759379), patients with hATTR amyloidosis with PN were randomized to vutrisiran (25 mg SC, Q3M) or patisiran (0.3 mg/kg IV, Q3W). Comparison of TTR reduction between vutrisiran and patisiran was included as a secondary endpoint. Here, post-hoc analyses comparing vutrisiran and patisiran arms on clinical outcomes are reported: neuropathy (mNIS+7), quality of life (Norfolk-QOL-DN), gait speed (10-MWT), nutritional status (mBMI), and disability (R-ODS). Results: TTR reduction with vutrisiran was non-inferior to that observed with patisiran (median difference [95% confidence interval], 5.28% [1.17, 9.25]). Leastsquares mean (±SE) changes from baseline to Month 18 for vutrisiran and patisiran, respectively, showed similar effects: mNIS+7 (0.06 ± 1.48 versus 1.53 ± 2.59; P = 0.6248), Norfolk-QOL-DN (−2.5 ± 1.8 versus −0.8 ± 3.0; P = 0.6472), 10-MWT (-0.019 ± 0.025 versus −0.053 ± 0.043 m/s; P = 0.4936), mBMI (21.8 ± 9.2 versus 7.6 ± 15.8; P = 0.4378), and R-ODS (−1.2 ± 0.5 versus −1.3 ± 0.9; P = 0.9266). Conclusion: Vutrisiran and patisiran showed numerically and statistically similar efficacy for treating the polyneuropathy manifestations of hATTR amyloidosis and have similar pharmacodynamic effects in terms of TTR lowering.

Published: July 2023

Introduction: A 58-year-old male patient, diagnosed with diabetes mellitus (DM) five years ago, started with neuropathic pain in the lumbar region radiating to the right thigh, and later to the left thigh, progressing to difficulty walking and significant weight loss over six months. On examination, patient with grade IV proximal paraparesis, slightly asymmetrical, associated with muscle atrophy and abolished reflexes. Regarding the upper limbs, the examination was normal. During the investigation, electroneuromyography (ENMG) showed sensory and motor involvement in the lower limbs, with a mixed pattern, associated with cerebrospinal fluid with hyperproteinorrachia. The rest of the exams did not show alterations, raising the hypothesis of diabetic amyotrophy (DA). Discussion: DA affects less than 1% of all diabetic patients. Its typical clinical presentation is the presence of acute pain in the proximal region of the lower limbs, initially unilateral, evolving with paresis and muscle atrophy, as well as involvement of the contralateral limb in more advanced cases. The diagnosis is based mainly on clinical suspicion. ENMG demonstrates a pattern more related to axonal degeneration than demyelination, generally sparing upper limbs. Currently, there is no evidence to support or contraindicate any immunotherapy in the treatment of DA. In this case, IVIg was performed with excellent response in pain control. Conclusion: Despite being a less common complication related to DM, DA becomes important in a scenario of increased incidence of metabolic diseases in the Brazilian population. It is important to know its presentation to aid in the diagnosis of a disease thais is rate but with an excellent response to IVIg infusion.

Authors: Alvakili Noha
Published: July 2023

The modern world, in this era, is progressing with giant strides in the direction of becoming a multicultural society. It is recognized in a profound examination of processes occurring in diverse societies over the past two decades, similarly to issues of multiculturalism are no longer as unequivocal as predicted at the end of the 20th and beginning of the 21st century. From the start, the multicultural approach was formulated against a background of establishing cultural rights, recognizing the importance of cultural rights as part of individual rights and a core component of individuals’ belonging to a group and their social and later, also national identity. This article will try to present the existing reality in the Israeli education system, and to examine the ways for dealing with the growing trend.

On the possibility of expanding the limits of the concept of multiple derivation in modern linguistics
Authors: Молдовану Георгий
Published: July 2023

In this paper, we will try to reveal some peculiarities of the interaction between explicit and implicit derivation within the complex derivational paradigm (KDP) and describe the derivational characteristics of KDP derivatives. The proposed tasks are solved by analyzing the ways of interaction between morphological derivation and semantic derivation of the second tier and considering motivated lexical units through the prism of lexical derivation lato sensu. This approach sheds new light on the problem of multiple derivation in modern linguistics. From this point of view, our study allows us to expand the limits of the interpretation of the multiple derivation phenomenon in modern linguistics by identifying and describing its role in the formation of the semantic structure of the polysemantic derivatives.

Reshaping the world economic power relations. Impact on national security
Authors: Chistruga Boris , Chirtoagă Roman
Published: July 2023

The main landmarks of the architecture of the world economy at the present stage are examined. It was argued that the process of globalization, the content, directions and interdependent forms of international economic are determined by the relationship between the great world economic powers. But starting with the years 2014-2015 to defend serious cracks in the field of the world economy in general and in the process of globalization in particular. Are these problems an indication that the relations between the great powers can no longer generate the increase of the prosperity of the countries of the world? This article seeks to answer these questions by emphasizing that reconfiguring global economic power relations requires a new approach to the effective architecture of the international economic security system.
The role of stereotypes in intercultural communication in foreign language lessons in the training of students – economists
Authors: Panainte Lidia
Published: July 2023

Throughout its existence, each nation made up an idea not only about its life and culture, but also formed basic information about representatives of different countries. This includes data about their behavior, traditions, customs and cultural space. The totality of ideas about the nation forms stereotypes. This paper examines the influence of stereotypes on intercultural communication and highlights the problems that may arise during the process of its realization, emphasizing the necessity of developing intercultural communication which is seen as an indispensable condition of mutual understanding between nations in the modern world. The courses of foreign languages provide students with knowledge not only about language, but also with understanding about culture, stereotypes and different ways of life in differing communities; facilitate the application of this knowledge in intercultural situations by training of linguistic and intercultural skills. The research problem lies in the influence of stereotypes on the perception of the world picture of an individual of one nation by an individual of another nation.

Exploring the traveler group-based ridership fluctuations before, during and after the COVID-19 pandemic: A case study of rail transit system in Izmir, Türkiye
Authors: GUZEL Dila , ALTINTAŞI Oruç
Published: July 2023

The COVID-19 pandemic has interrupted life around the world. Situations such as the transition of schools to remote education, remote working, and people's fear of becoming infected have had a strong impact on public transport ridership. In this article, rail transit systems ridership data were utilized to examine the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the travel behaviour of adults, students and elderly people for the city of Izmir, Türkiye. The rail transit system included one mass rapid transit (MRT) and two light rapid transit (LRT) lines. Due to operational differences of rail transit systems, the analyses were carried out for the ridership of each mode separately. Within the scope of the study, user-based descriptive statistics were determined, and ridership changes were investigated before, during and after the pandemic. The statistical significance in ridership fluctuations were evaluated via one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) test. The results showed that the pandemic had a negative impact on ridership on all lines and all groups of travelers. Student ridership increased with the opening of schools after pandemic, while travel behaviour of elderly groups after COVID-19 was almost same compared to pandemic duration.
ПРОЄКТУВАННЯ СИСТЕМИ РАНЖУВАННЯ ПОТЕНЦІЙНИХ КЛІЄНТІВ ТЕЛЕКОМУНІКАЦІЙНОЇ КОМПАНІЇ НА ОСНОВІ МАШИННОГО НАВЧАННЯ
Authors: ЗАВГОРОДНІЙ Валерій Вікторович , ЗАВГОРОДНЯ Ганна Анатоліївна , ГОЛОВАЧУК Валентин Олександрович
Published: July 2023

Робота присвячена проєктуванню системи ранжування потенційних клієнтів телекомунікаційної компанії з огляду на їхню ймовірність придбання продукту на основі машинного навчання, що дозволить оптимізувати бізнес-процес роботи з «холодними» клієнтами.

У даній роботі розглядається call-центр телекомунікаційної компанії, спрямований на здійснення вихідних дзвінків з основною метою продажу послуг компанії. Незважаючи на те, що в різних галузях можуть бути власні особливості в діяльності call-центру, загальна модель організації залишається приблизно однаковою, що робить дане дослідження актуальним для будь-якої галузі.

Пропонується використовувати історичні дані для навчання алгоритму машинного навчання, який зможе емулювати діяльність супервайзера щодо формування завдань для call-центру.

Для кращого розуміння сучасного стану роботи call-центру в роботі наведена діаграма бізнес-процесу формування завдань на дзвінки у нотації BPMN. Також в роботі наведена діаграма, що демонструє вплив впровадження системи на основі машинного навчання на бізнес-процес формування завдань для обдзвону.

Дана робота досліджує задачу ранжування, яка може бути перетворена на задачу бінарної класифікації. В рамках класифікації необхідно визначити ймовірність належності потенційних клієнтів до одного з двох класів, що дозволяє вирішити задачу бінарної класифікації. Перший клас представляє клієнтів, зацікавлених у послугах компанії, тоді як другий клас охоплює клієнтів, які не проявляють інтересу до послуг компанії. У даному контексті найважливішою є ймовірність того, що потенційний клієнт належить до першого класу. Після отримання ймовірностей належності до першого класу, відбувається сортування всіх потенційних клієнтів у порядку спадання ймовірності, вирішуючи таким чином задачу ранжування.
Mujer, milagro y magia medieval en dos relatos del manuscrito h-I-13
Authors: Battilana Sofía
Published: July 2023

El manuscrito h-I-13, de la Biblioteca de San Lorenzo de El Escorial, ha llamado la atención por los nueve relatos que la crítica ha tendido a relacionar entre sí. El códice, cuyos relatos podrían haberse traducido del francés a principios del siglo XIV, es considerado una antología ya que en todas sus narraciones se presenta un contenido religioso, haciendo de este una serie temática unitaria. En el siguiente trabajo, se analizarán dos de esas narraciones: “Aquí comiença el cuento muy fermoso del enperador Otas de Roma e de la infante Florencia su fija e del buen cavallero Esmero” y “Aquí comiença un muy fermoso cuento de una santa enperatrís que ovo en Roma e de su castidat”. La presencia de tópicos correspondientes a la hagiografía y al romance construye en estas narraciones una duplicidad genérica y, por ende, se pueden considerar romances hagiográficos. El trabajo apunta al análisis de los elementos mágicos, precristianos, propios del romance y, por otro lado, del milagro, perteneciente a la hagiografía. Se establece también una comparación entre las protagonistas de los relatos, pues tanto Florencia de Roma como la emperatriz se encuentran en esta tensión específica, entre el milagro y la magia.
Mirar la ciudad desde una alcantarilla. Ficciones (post)urbanas
Authors: Calomarde Nancy
Published: July 2023

El artículo se propone indagar en las figuraciones (post)urbanas de la ciudad de La Habana a partir de las producciones de dos artistas cubanos: una muestra del artista plástico, Carlos Garaicoa, Epifanías urbanas (2017) y un libro de relatos del escritor Jorge Ángel Pérez, En La Habana no son tan elegantes (2012). En ambos casos, es posible leer esas texturas heterogéneas en clave de formas de distopía (post)urbana enlazadas a una serie de imágenes y dispositivos que, con frecuencia, reaparece en las artes plásticas y la literatura contemporáneas como ficciones del “después del después” (De la Campa, 2017, p. 33). Son relatos que no solamente deconstruyen las modulaciones del mito modernizador de la urbe latinoamericana sino que avanza hacia una inflexión estético-cosmológica que relee y desordena el sistema de dicotomías con las que la tradición procesó el vínculo del sujeto creador con el paisaje urbano. Mi hipótesis es que la figuración de una ciudad, vista e imaginada desde el lugar descentrado de la alcantarilla, produce un movimiento centrífugo sobre su archivo imagético, convirtiendo a esas figuraciones en sinécdoques del extravío y de lo estrábico ya que, en tanto que urbe, La Habana se ha fugado de sus protocolos fundacionales, se ha fugado también de la genealogía de las ciudades míticas latinoamericanas (los Macondo, las Santa María). Entonces, la mirada oblicua del arte, desde el devenir alcantarilla (ciudad/mirada), procesa su opacidad.

Study of rooting in stem cuttings of Khirk (Celtis australis Linn.)
Authors: Shamet G. , Naveen C.
Published: July 2023

Khirk (Celtis australis Linn.) is an important multipurpose tree species, which has a great potential in Social/Agroforestry practices in the North-Western Himalaya. Since seed regeneration is a problem, rooting cutting is one of the options for carrying mass multiplication programme in this valuable species. Experiments were therefore conducted to ascertain the effects of donor stage, pre-conditioning (girdling), cutting portion and auxin treatments on rooting behaviour of Khirk. Auxin IBA in 0.2-1.0% concentration mixed with or without other chemicals (5% sucrose + 5% captan) was used for the treatment of cuttings. The cuttings taken in rainy season (July) and from tree donors performed remarkably better than those taken in spring and pole/sapling stage, respectively. The sub-apical and the girdled cuttings resulted in significantly superior rooting and root quality as compared to the apical and non girdled ones. Further, interaction effect revealed a maximum 90 per cent rooting when girdled cuttings from sub-apical portion were treated with 0.4% IBA-talc formulation in monsoon season.

Generación de biol a partir de residuos orgánicos mediante la aplicación de reactores anaerobios en el anexo 14 de San Ramón, Junín (Perú)
Authors: Borda Luna Benjamín
Published: July 2023

La investigación tuvo como objetivo generar biol a partir de residuos orgánicos aplicando un reactor anaerobio (NB&S Home Organic Reactor). Se realizó una caracterización de los residuos sólidos en tres domicilios y se midieron las condiciones para la producción de biol cada 10 días del anexo 14 de San Ramón, Departamento de Junín, en la selva central de Perú. Encontrándose que la caracterización de 15.4 kg de residuos sólidos, 7.6 kg representan residuos orgánicos y 7.8 kg son residuos inorgánicos, con Producción Percapita por día (PPC) de 0.616 kg/hab.día. Las condiciones de producción de biol fueron a temperatura entre 25.4 °C y 27.1 °C, humedad entre 75.4 % y 86.2 %, y pH entre 4.12 y 4.62. El estudio tiene importancia porque no existen reactores anaeróbicos caseros que permitan transformar los residuos orgánicos domiciliarios en Biol, provocando que a diario se dispongan en rellenos sanitarios, botaderos y cuerpos receptores, toneladas de residuos orgánicos generando impactos ambientales.
The Formalized Semantics of Neologisms-Slangisms in the Context of the English Translation of A Military Narrative
Authors: Pak Antonina , Hurbanska Svitlana , Boiko Olha , Avramenko Valentyna , Katerynych Petro
Published: July 2023

Each new designation associated with a designation already fixed in the language is traditionally and automatically considered a case of semantic neology and is a case of polysemy. This simplistic analysis does not take into account morphological analysis and ignores the semantic laws that govern changes in meaning. The paper examines the meaning and evolution of semantic neologisms in military English discourse. In particular, three types of neologisms can be distinguished: neologisms-borrowings, neologisms-homonyms, and semantic neologisms. The emphasis is placed on semantic neologisms since they are the ones that become a problem for translators due to the tendency to polysemy. The paper examines the neologisms of military discourse in the context of the specifics of the narrative of translations of military texts by S. Zhadan. Unlike a large number of other linguistic concepts, such as a phoneme, morpheme, the concept of neologism seems to be well known to everyone, and in general, consensus means “new word”. Based on this, one might expect unanimity in the identification and analysis of neologisms and slangisms. However, there are many discussions about the neological status of a particular lexical item. Scientists emphasize a very high rate of dispersion of linguistic new formations, without a clear differentiation between neologisms and slangisms. Therefore, in the presented work we analyse the problems of translation of semantic neologisms and slangisms on the basis of English translations of the existential specificity of the narrative of the war-themed texts by S. Zhadan “Boarding School”. The issue of the newest intuitive concept of neology and the potential of slangisms to form a formal matrix, and neologisms - a semantic one, is actualized.
Singing the Power of Black Motherhood in the Autobiographies of Maya Angelou
Authors: Neyah V Ruth , M Vijayakumar
Published: July 2023

In order to define Black motherhood, this research will explore mother-child interactions, alternative mother figures, altering marital balances, and women-men relationships. In addition to expressing her African American perspective, Angelou reflected it in the personalities, songs, and events she utilized in her autobiographies. Her autobiographies are extremely true to reality since she covers historical political happenings and well-known figures from actual life. The bonds that unite women of all eras, from all ethnicities, and from all countries are bridged by commonalities of joy and agony, adversity and despair, as well as ascent and descent, all of which revolve around the specification and design of motherhood. According to Maya Angelou, black mothers are wary, worried, and preoccupied with their kids in her concept of being a black mother, she adds that being single means that her lover has rejected her. Motherhood has endured as an idea and peculiarity that has moved from African communities to “modern” African American familial and societal formations, serving as a stark example of empowerment for women who have resisted the onrush of male supremacy in every aspect of their personal and societal reality. Traditional and intellectual discourse show that matrilineal conceptions of motherhood have persisted, whether by choice, by need, or by threat. She claims that white people who do not consider her hold all positions of authority in the outside world. This paper renders a perspective on the overall typical “motherhood format” of the blacks which serve as their strength altogether in the autobiographies of Maya Angelou.
