Law and Change: A Study of the Cultivation of Wasteland in the 16th-17th Century Ottoman Empire
Authors: PEHLİVAN Bayram
Published: November 2023

This article examines the nature of legal change in Islamic law through the case of the cultivation of wasteland (iḥyāʾ al-mawāt) in the 16th-17th century Ottoman Empire. Imber, one of the leading scholars in modern Ottoman historiography, argues that there was an incompatibility between qānūn and sharīʿah regarding the legal consequences of opening up wastelands (mawāts) for agriculture in the Empire. He asserts that the legal doctrine of the Ḥanafī school gives the right of full ownership (al-milk al-tāmm) to a person cultivating a wasteland with the permission of the ruler (imām), while the Ottoman sultans’ qānūns only grant this person the right of disposal (ḥaqq al-taṣarruf). Imber’s observation about the practice is accurate; however, his claim regarding the Ḥanafī school’s legal doctrine of iḥyāʾ al-mawāt needs revision. This article takes into consideration Ḥanafī nawāzil and fatāwá literature originating from Central Asia and Ottoman Anatolia to demonstrate that the doctrine in question underwent a slow and gradual but essential change over centuries, and then Ottoman Ḥanafī scholars interpreted the practice of the Empire based on this new doctrine, recognizing the sultan’s authority to grant only the right of disposal to those who wished to cultivate the wasteland, suggesting that there was not an actual contradiction between qānūn and sharīʿah on this issue.

The Virgin Mary in the narratives of contemporary Catholic and Muslim mothers in Poland
Authors: Krotofil Joanna , Wójciak Dorota , Mętel Dagmara
Published: November 2023

In this paper, we demonstrate how the figure of the Virgin Mary functions as an important element of the lived religion of contemporary Catholic and Muslim mothers in Poland. Based on the analysis of in-depth interviews and observational data we argue that the figure of Mary is recognized as a religious ideal and a role model by mothers identifying with both religions. We trace similarities and differences between Catholic and Muslim mothers in their reflexive engagement with ideas, symbols, and prescriptions attached to Mary and discuss how they reinvent the figure and ascribe it with personalised meanings: embrace some of the traditional attributes of Mary, challenge, and contest others, and construct new meanings firmly embedded in their daily life mothering experiences.

Introduction: Although traditional healing practices are important for indigenous populations, access to modern health care practices is essential to ensure the health of communities as well as the prevention of diseases and their aggravation. Objective: To examine the acceptance of medication by the Pitaguary indigenous group, who live in Maracanaú, state of Ceará (CE), Brazil. Methodology: An observational and descriptive case of the use of natural plants as a medicinal treatment in the Pitaguary indigenous group, in Maracanaú-CE. The interviews used a questionnaire adapted from the SATIS-BR scale. Results: The majority of the Pitaguary population in the interview presented chronic diseases (diabetes or hypertension). Only 13.3% do not follow up with their community medical doctor. Of the interviewees, 20% use a mix of conventional and herbal treatments; 67.2% use a non-secure method to identify medication; and 52% suspend use of conventional drugs in the middle of treatment and replace them with herbal plants recommended by the village shaman. Discussion: The main strategy when working with indigenous populations ends up being health education about the use of medicinal plants in association with commercial drugs. The involvement of community’s leaders in the delivery of health services seems an effective strategy to promote their understanding about dual use of medicinal plants and western drugs for chronic diseases. Conclusion: A culturally sensitive approach that takes into account indigenous traditions and beliefs should be used to improve medication adherence within indigenous groups.
Cinema dos primeiros tempos, infância e a entrada na linguagem
Authors: Mabel Fresquet Adriana , Carvalho Ludmila Moreira Macedo de
Published: November 2023

A partir de imagens de crianças encontradas no cinema dos primeiros tempos, propomos uma reflexão sobre as relações entre a infância e cinema. Segundo Walter Benjamin (2009), tanto a infância quanto o cinema são invenções da modernidade: o conceito de infância como um período importante de formação do sujeito nasce de forma inseparável das tecnologias de produção e reprodução da imagem que nos dão a ver as crianças de uma forma inédita, primeiro na fotografia e depois no cinema. A partir disso, nos perguntamos se seria possível pensar na “invenção” do cinema como também um gesto de infância? Nos propomos a pensar uma ideia de infância do cinema para além de um reducionismo teleológico. Para tanto, partimos de uma visão psicanalítica sobre o processo de entrada na linguagem, que coincide com o movimento de individuação do sujeito, na infância. A partir desta perspectiva, estabelecemos uma analogia entre a infância e o desenvolvimento do cinema como momentos igualmente marcados pela entrada na linguagem: de um estado atravessado fortemente pela visualidade, pela experimentação, pela descoberta e pela brincadeira, em direção a uma entrada no sistema simbólico estruturado da linguagem através de constantes negociações com as convenções e os limites do mundo adulto.
Um Relato de Experiência por um Letramento Racial: Sofrimento Psíquico, Racismo e Corpos Brancos na Universidade
Authors: Reichelt Gabrielle , Reis Carolina
Published: November 2023

A escrita deste relato de experiência parte da vivência enquanto pesquisadoras brancas dentro da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul e uma preocupação ética-política de buscar compreender o sofrimento psíquico na universidade e formas de produzir saberes que não reproduzam práticas racistas. Se busca, assim, colocar em evidência um modo de fazer pesquisa que opera a partir de situações de violência, oriundas de uma dimensão imperial do conhecimento que historicamente vulnera vidas negras e periféricas e que, em maior ou menor grau, produz sofrimento psíquico. A orientação metodológica perpassa a noção de experiência foucaultiana, sendo que o objetivo deste relato não é confirmar teorias ou hipóteses, mas perfazer percursos em conjunto à vida acadêmica por meio de movimentos coletivos e denúncias de racismo. A aposta consiste, portanto, numa proposta ética de firmar uma postura crítica enquanto corpos brancos como condição étnico-racial, num combate aos posicionamentos violentos da branquitude. Para tanto, se propõe uma noção de desamparo como coragem afirmativa da renúncia à violência branca e a construção de mundos plurais em que um letramento racial e alianças antirracistas se faça possível.
A Inovação pelo Conflito de Ideias: Retornando às Fundações da Influência das Minorias
Authors: Santin Thiago , Wolter Rafael
Published: November 2023

A influência minoritária surgiu na psicologia social na década de 1960. Este artigo teórico tem por objetivo apresentar e analisar os estudos pioneiros de Serge Moscovici e seus desdobramentos atuais. A partir da explicação do modelo genético de influência social por Moscovici, aponta-se o diagnóstico da falta de abrangência do modelo funcionalista para explicar o conflito de ideias, a conversão e a inovação por ideias minoritárias. O artigo explica esses conceitos e mostra em âmbito de conceito e de operacionalização a consistência comportamental e o conflito informacional. Detalham-se os estudos fundacionais do paradigma azul-verde, a fim de explicitar a construção teórica e metodológica e a incongruência entre ambas. Exploram-se as relações com a teoria da identidade social nas perspectivas divergentes das teorias da conversão da autocategorização. Apresentam-se novos conceitos de minorias: as vitimizadas, as perpetrantes e as que buscam tolerância. Por fim, os autores apontam os avanços já realizados e os ainda necessários, a partir de revisões e análises do campo.
O que (A)pre(e)nde um "Jovem Aprendiz"? O Trabalho Psíquico Adolescente durante a Pandemia
Authors: Wecker Amanda , Oliveira-Menegotto Lisiane , Santos Camila
Published: November 2023

Este trabalho objetiva propor uma discussão acerca dos significantes que envolvem o trabalho psíquico adolescente de jovens do Projeto Jovem Aprendiz durante a pandemia da COVID-19. Trata-se de uma pesquisa-intervenção de caráter psicanalítico, realizada com 26 adolescentes do Projeto Jovem Aprendiz, divididos em dois grupos com 13 integrantes. Para a coleta de dados, foi construído o instrumento "Espaço de fala livre e implicada", que consistiu em quatro rodas de conversa online, com duração de uma hora cada. Os encontros foram registrados em Diário de Experiência e analisados a partir da Poética da Extração. Observou-se que esses jovens recebem a missão de mudar as histórias das famílias, sendo o desejo principal depositado neles pelos pais. As famílias parecem fazer uma retirada precipitada da posição de autoridade, delegando ao Projeto a posição de referência e operando em uma ruptura da transmissão parental. Os jovens sentem-se inseguros, porém encontram no Projeto Jovem Aprendiz um acolhimento para dar continuidade à sua posição de desejo. Consideramos que o Projeto, amparado pela escuta psicanalítica, lançou luz a essas questões que circundam a adolescência, possibilitando outro lugar e outro olhar para esses adolescentes na busca de referências que facilitem o trabalho psíquico necessário para sua constituição.

Fire Insurance Records and the Architectural Historian
Authors: Craig Robert W.
Published: November 2023

abstract: One of the largest bodies of descriptive information about the American built environment lies hidden in fire insurance records, especially those from the late eighteenth through the early twentieth centuries. Insurance companies faced a universal need to describe the properties they insured for reasons related to the proper management of their businesses, recording these “risks” in written volumes called policy registers and daily reports and in graphic documents known as insurance surveys. Local insurance agents also kept their own policy registers and sometimes copies of the surveys they produced for the insurance companies. As this case study of research from New Jersey indicates, architectural historians who actively search for surviving collections of fire insurance records will find tremendous reward for their efforts, especially in the discovery of vernacular buildings and landscapes.
Word into Image: Apocryphal Infancy Gospel Motifs on Antoni Gaudí's Sagrada Familía Nativity Façade
Authors: Friedman John Block
Published: November 2023

Abstract: The Early Christian and medieval Infancy Gospels' legend of Jesus animating clay sparrows and being chastised for it by his father is depicted on one of the sculptures on the nativity facade of the basilica Sagrada Familía in Barcelona, made between 1883 and 1926 by the Catalan Modernist architect Antoni Gaudí (1852–1926). There, a youthful Jesus holds a bird while a grand and parental Joseph gazes fixedly at him. No scholarly discussion of this portion of the Sagrada Familía's nativity façade refers to the Infancy Gospels in their various medieval embodiments as a source for this sculpture's iconography, even if such a connection is readily apparent to medievalists. This sculpture propagandizes for a Vatican-inspired Josephism, a powerful late-nineteenth-century European ecclesiastical movement especially important in Barcelona. Its iconography alludes to conflict between father and son in the Infancy Gospels, one that the architect hopes to resolve through his Josephism. The conception of Joseph as a weak and passive husband and father upstaged by Mary changed radically by the early modern period, so that a new Joseph, vigorous and even youthful, a strong and participatory father, and a caring and saintly husband, eventually began to appear in modern-era European devotional writing and art. An exploration of this story of the sparrows and some of its ramifications in the relations of Jesus and Joseph in the modern era will offer medieval art historians and general medievalists some insight into and further questions about the complex relationship among medievalism, labor, and Catalan nationalism in turn-of-the-century Catalonia.
Gain equalization for a few-mode erbium-doped fiber amplifier supporting eight spatial modes
Authors: Gao Jiao , Yan Fengping , Ren Guobin , Guo Hao , Wang Baoyuan , Li Guangbo , Zhu Fuxi , Tan HaoYu , Feng Ting
Published: November 2023

A trench-assisted ring few-mode erbium-doped fiber amplifier (FM-EDFA) supporting eight spatial modes is designed and proposed in this work. The gain equalization for the FM-EDFA is achieved by selecting the appropriate doping radius and concentration using a particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm when only the pump in the fundamental mode (LP01) is applied. When the signals in the eight spatial modes are simultaneously amplified, the average modal gain is about 20 dB, and the DMG is less than 0.3 dB for a signal at 1550 nm. Considering the gain competition of six wavelength signals, the modal gain and DMG are more than 20 and 1 dB, respectively. In addition, the tolerance analysis for manufacturing with this design is also discussed. For a fluctuation in the refractive index, the average modal gain is about 19.5 dB, and the DMG is 0.77 dB, indicating that the structure has good fabrication tolerance.
Deep learning approach to predict optical attenuation in additively manufactured planar waveguides
Authors: Pflieger Keno , Evertz Andreas , Overmeyer Ludger
Published: November 2023

The booming demand for efficient, scalable optical networks has intensified the exploration of innovative strategies that seamlessly connect large-scale fiber networks with miniaturized photonic components. Within this context, our research introduces a neural network, specifically a convolutional neural network (CNN), as a trailblazing method for approximating the nonlinear attenuation function of centimeter-scale multimode waveguides. Informed by a ray tracing model that simulated many flexographically printed waveguide configurations, we cultivated a comprehensive dataset that laid the groundwork for rigorous CNN training. This model demonstrates remarkable adeptness in estimating optical losses due to waveguide curvature, achieving an attenuation standard deviation of 1.5 dB for test data over an attenuation range of 50 dB. Notably, the CNN model’s evaluation speed, at 517 µs per waveguide, starkly contrasts the used ray tracing model that demands 5–10 min for a similar task. This substantial increase in computational efficiency accentuates the model’s paramount significance, especially in scenarios mandating swift waveguide assessments, such as optical network optimization. In a subsequent study, we test the trained model on actual measurements of fabricated waveguides and its optical model. All approaches show excellent agreement in assessing the waveguide’s attenuation within measurement accuracy. Our endeavors elucidate the transformative potential of machine learning in revolutionizing optical network design.

Published: November 2023

Selective retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) photodisruption requires reliable real-time feedback dosimetry (RFD) to prevent unwanted overexposure. In this study, optical coherence tomography (OCT) based RFD was investigated in ex vivo porcine eyes exposed to laser pulses of 8 µs duration (wavelength: 532 nm, exposure area: 90 × 90 µm2, radiant exposure: 247 to 1975 mJ/µm2). For RFD, fringe washouts in time-resolved OCT M-scans (central wavelength: 870 nm, scan rate: 85 kHz) were compared to an RPE cell viability assay. Statistical analysis revealed a moderate correlation between RPE lesion size and applied treatment energy, suggesting RFD adaptation to inter- and intraindividual RPE pigmentation and ocular transmission.
Work conflict: Another trigger to smartphone addiction of individuals with high rumination?
Authors: Sun Yanwei , Cai Xing , Nie Ting
Published: November 2023

With the widespread use of smartphones, many people spend much time on smartphones for shopping, learning, socializing, and so on, which can affect an individual’s mental health and work performance. Especially, individual perceived conflict at work may increase their social anxiety and thus raise the risk of their smartphone addiction. This study collected data from 577 corporate employees in China through convenience sampling to explain the influence mechanism of work conflict on smartphone addiction and to verify the moderating role of rumination. Statistical results show that relationship conflicts, task conflicts, and process conflicts positively affect smartphone addiction by enhancing social anxiety. Moreover, rumination positively moderates the relationship between work conflict and smartphone addiction. People with high rumination are more likely to escape reality due to conflict at work, which further enhances their smartphone addiction behaviors. Our study suggests that a relatively harmonious working atmosphere should be established within organizations, especially for employees with rumination. Work conflict is a predisposing factor for social anxiety and smartphone addiction in individuals with high rumination.
Weight and protozoa number but not bacteria diversity are associated with successful pair formation of dealates in the Formosan subterranean termite, Coptotermes formosanus
Authors: Chen Junyan , Setia Garima , Lin Li-Hsiang , Sun Qian , Husseneder Claudia
Published: November 2023

New colonies of Formosan subterranean termites are founded by monogamous pairs. During swarming season, alates (winged reproductives) leave their parental colony. After swarming, they drop to the ground, shed their wings, and male and female dealates find suitable nesting sites where they mate and become kings and queens of new colonies. The first generation of offspring is entirely dependent on the nutritional resources of the founder pair consisting of the fat and protein reserves of the dealates and their microbiota, which include the cellulose-digesting protozoa and diverse bacteria. Since termite kings and queens can live for decades, mate for life and colony success is linked to those initial resources, we hypothesized that gut microbiota of founders affect pair formation. To test this hypothesis, we collected pairs found in nest chambers and single male and female dealates from four swarm populations. The association of three factors (pairing status, sex of the dealates and population) with dealate weights, total protozoa, and protozoa Pseudotrichonympha grassii numbers in dealate hindguts was determined. In addition, Illumina 16S rRNA gene sequencing and the QIIME2 pipeline were used to determine the impact of those three factors on gut bacteria diversity of dealates. Here we report that pairing status was significantly affected by weight and total protozoa numbers, but not by P. grassii numbers and bacteria diversity. Weight and total protozoa numbers were higher in paired compared to single dealates. Males contained significantly higher P. grassii numbers and bacteria richness and marginally higher phylogenetic diversity despite having lower weights than females. In conclusion, this study showed that dealates with high body weight and protozoa numbers are more likely to pair and become colony founders, probably because of competitive advantage. The combined nutritional resources provided by body weight and protozoa symbionts of the parents are important for successful colony foundation and development.

The Construction File (CF) specification establishes a standardized interface for molecular biology operations, laying a foundation for automation and enhanced efficiency in experiment design. It is implemented across three distinct software projects: PyDNA_CF_Simulator, a Python project featuring a ChatGPT plugin for interactive parsing and simulating experiments; ConstructionFileSimulator, a field-tested Java project that showcases ’Experiment’ objects expressed as flat files; and C6-Tools, a JavaScript project integrated with Google Sheets via Apps Script, providing a user-friendly interface for authoring and simulation of CF. The CF specification not only standardizes and modularizes molecular biology operations but also promotes collaboration, automation, and reuse, significantly reducing potential errors. The potential integration of CF with artificial intelligence, particularly GPT-4, suggests innovative automation strategies for synthetic biology. While challenges such as token limits, data storage, and biosecurity remain, proposed solutions promise a way forward in harnessing AI for experiment design. This shift from human-driven design to AI-assisted workflows, steered by high-level objectives, charts a potential future path in synthetic biology, envisioning an environment where complexities are managed more effectively.
El fundamento social del trabajo abstracto en la teoría del valor
Authors: Ruiz Sanjuan César
Published: November 2023

El presente artículo aborda el análisis que realiza Marx de la categoría de trabajo abstracto, mostrando las contradicciones que contiene y las dificultades que ello implica para la correcta comprensión de la teoría del valor. Especialmente problemáticas a este respecto resultan las interpretaciones que asumen una fundamentación naturalista del trabajo abstracto, pues impiden entender los procesos de mediación que hacen posible la reproducción social en el capitalismo. Frente a esta forma de interpretación, pondremos de manifiesto que solo reconstruyendo la teoría del valor de Marx a partir de una fundamentación social del trabajo abstracto es posible comprender el modo en que tiene lugar la socialización del trabajo en la sociedad capitalista.

Investigating the Role of Metoclopramide and Hyoscine-N-Butyl Bromide in Colon Motility
Authors: Omar Sleman Y. , Mamand Dyari M. , Omer Rebaz A. , Rashid Rzgar F. , Salih Musher I.
Published: November 2023

Metoclopramide is a treatment for gastroenteritis accompanied by vomiting. Hyoscine-n-butyl bromide as an anticholinergic agent causes inhibition of the acetylcholine (Ach) by acting on muscarinic receptors. The study aims to ascertain how metoclopramide affects Ach-induced cortical motility and also investigates the effects of metoclopramide alone and in combination with hyoscine-n-butyl bromide drug effects on colon motility. In this study, 1 cm of colon tissue width was cut, 2 cm long strips were made, and both sides of the tissue were secured with surgical silk at both ends of isolated bath tissues of isolated organs with (1g) tension to the suspended instrument that recorded isometric contractions. Tissue fixation is followed by drug addiction: Ach, metoclopramide, and hyoscine-N-butyl bromide. The tissue was treated with metoclopramide and hyoscine-n-butyl bromide and excess Caine for 10 min. The results show changes in colon frequency, peak-to-peak, and amplitude levels for metoclopramide, hyoscine-N-butyl, and metoclopramide and hyoscine. Apaired T-test statistically analyzes the results. Metoclopramide by itself, as well as in combination with hyoscine-n-butyl bromide, increases colon motility and induces Ach release. In addition, an analysis of the physicochemical characteristics of hyoscine-n-butyl bromide and metoclopramide molecules is conducted. The study includes theoretical calculations of electronic parameters for both protonated and unprotonated forms of these molecules in both gaseous and aqueous environments. These results show the potential use of metoclopramide as a therapeutic option for gastroenteritis with vomiting, warranting additional study, and clinical evaluation. The research also reveals hyoscine-n-butyl bromide and metoclopramide’s molecular features by their physicochemical properties.

Ocena wybranych przepisów prawa holdingowego ze znowelizowanego Kodeksu spółek handlowych z punktu widzenia zasad austriackiej szkoły ekonomii
Authors: Dolata Wiktor
Published: November 2023

Najnowsza nowelizacja Kodeksu spółek handlowych wzbogaca polskie prawo handlowe o regulację działalności holdingów. Długo wyczekiwane przepisy należy poddać krytycznej ocenie, w której przeprowadzeniu pomocne są zasady austriackiej szkoły ekonomii – nurtu w ekonomii wskazującego na zbędność państwowej ingerencji m.in. w obrót handlowy. Analizując aktualnie obowiązującą ustawę, komentarze oraz literaturę szkoły austriackiej, można zauważyć, że regulacja z Działu IV k.s.h. zawiera wiele niepotrzebnych przepisów, a jednocześnie obejmuje przepisy niepełne. Remedium na zbyt duży interwencjonizm ustawodawcy w ustrój grupy spółek oraz brak precyzji określonych artykułów mogłoby stanowić wprowadzenie obowiązku sporządzenia oraz podjęcia uchwały, np. przez zgromadzenia wspólników spółek wchodzących do holdingu, w której indywidualnie uregulowano by kwestie aktualnie ujęte w Dziale IV – takie rozwiązanie oddawałoby w najpełniejszym stopniu praktyczny i dynamiczny charakter prawa handlowego.

In the present research, a statistical analysis of all pollution incidents occurring from 2015 to 2019 in the cities of the urban agglomeration centered on Shenyang was performed. The results indicated that heavy pollution mainly occurred during the heating season, and the main pollutants were (particulate matter) PM2.5 and PM10. It was also determined that the heavy pollution that occurred during the heating season in Shenyang was of the soot type. The weather research forecast-chemistry (WRF-Chem) was used to simulate the meteorological elements and particle concentration during the two heavy pollution periods in 2019 and compared the simulation data with the monitoring data to verify the simulation performance of the model. Results demonstrated that the model had a better simulation effect on temperature and pressure than on wind speed and wind direction. By comparing the hourly particle concentration data, it was found that the simulation results for pollutants obtained with the WRF-Chem model were lower than the measured values. The simulation effect on PM2.5 was better than that on PM10, and the simulation results were basically consistent in the high- and low-value areas, and the time of peak and valley was basically synchronous. It was proven that the selected parameterization scheme properly simulated the weather situation and changes in pollutants during heavy pollution events in the Shenyang area. These results verified the application value of the WRF-Chem model during the investigation of heavy pollution events.
Religionspädagogischer Silberstreif am düsteren kirchlichen Horizont?
Authors: Kießling Klaus
Published: November 2023

Die VI. Kirchenmitgliedschaftsuntersuchung der Evangelischen Kirche Deutschlands wurde dank ihrer Kooperation mit der katholischen Deutschen Bischofskonferenz zu einer deutschlandweiten Repräsentativbefragung. Dieser Beitrag beleuchtet diese Untersuchung aus katholisch-religionspädagogischer Perspektive. Zu Fragen familialer und institutioneller Sozialisation sowie des schulischen Religionsunterrichts werden empirische Analysen präsentiert. Die Hauptbefunde werden vor dem Hintergrund des eklatanten Vertrauensverlusts in die katholische Kirche diskutiert. An diesem düsteren Horizont zeichnen sich ein paar religionspädagogische Silberstreifen ab.
Kirchenmitgliedschaft: ein entscheidungsförmiger Gestaltungsprozess. Prospekt zu einer zentralen Beobachtungsdimension der sechsten Kirchenmitgliedschaftsuntersuchung
Authors: Merle Kristin , Anselm Reiner , Roleder Felix
Published: November 2023

Menschen gestalten ihr Verhältnis zu Kirche in konkreten Situationen über entscheidungsförmige Praktiken. Wie lassen sich diese entscheidungsförmigen Praktiken verstehen? Diese Frage ist eine der zentralen Beobachtungsdimensionen der neuen, VI. Kirchenmitgliedschaftsuntersuchung (KMU). Einsichten hierzu werden aus der Repräsentativbefragung gewonnen wie aus dem die Repräsentativbefragung begleitenden großen, aus KMU-Mitteln finanzierten Begleitprojekt. ‚Entscheiden‘ wird dabei mehrdimensional und in praxistheoretischer Perspektive modelliert, denn auch praktische Logiken, Ressourcen, Materialitäten und implizites Wissen werden hier wirksam. In diesem Beitrag skizzieren wir das Forschungsinteresse und fragen nach ersten Einsichten aus der Repräsentativbefragung mit Blick auf Bedingungsfaktoren im Kontext der Frage nach Kirchenaustritt.

Foca nas práticas cotidianas, como agricultura e criação de animais, que eram vitais para a sobrevivência dos moradores e revelam relações culturais, conflitos sociais e resistências. Baseando-se em conceitos de faxinais como comunidades tradicionais no Paraná, a pesquisa utiliza a história oral e entrevistas com moradores para compreender suas representações e memórias coletivas.
Os comissários delegados do Físico-mor do Reino português
Authors: Campos Ferreira Pâmela
Published: November 2023

O presente artigo busca tratar do estabelecimento do cargo de comissário do Físico-mor de Portugal. O físico-mor era um personagem que representava a esfera máxima de poder dentro do campo de saúde, era, portanto, o médico da câmara real do monarca, nomeadamente um sujeito próximo ao rei. No que tange assim, à fiscalização dos profissionais que atuavam curando fosse no reino, como nos domínios ultramarinos (em meados do século XVIII), seria preciso a atuação de figuras – tais como os comissários que aqui serão analisados – que se prestassem ao serviço de fiscalizar a atuação de médicos e/ou cirurgiões, e agentes das artes de curar. Será lançado, portanto, um prisma reflexivo sobre o regimento que instituiu os cargos de comissário do Físico-mor. Os regimentos a serem abordados serão os de 1744 e 1810.
Trajetórias LGBTQI+ Gaúchas em sala de aula
Authors: Marcelo da Rosa Andrei
Published: November 2023

O presente artigo propõe-se a refletir sobre as possibilidades e os desafios de entender vivências e espaços LGBTQI+ como patrimônio material e imaterial e como trabalhar com eles em sala de aula. A partir do desenvolvimento de biografias de pessoas LGBTQI+ no Rio Grande do Sul, projeto este vinculado ao Estágio Patrimonial desenvolvido no CLOSE – Centro de Referência da História LGBTQI+ do RS, buscou-se a inserção em um movimento de rememoração de histórias de pessoas que fogem da cis-heteronormatividade, já que encontram profunda resistência em serem reconhecidas como válidas. O foco do artigo recai na biografia produzida sobre Marcelly Malta Lisboa, ativista travesti gaúcha. A apresentação das mesmas e das outras pensadas para a oficina em sala de aula, permitiu a reflexão sobre a memória LGBTQI+ no estado, bem como a relação da turma com a comunidade.
EGFR signaling controls directionality of epithelial multilayer formation upon loss of cell polarity
Authors: Tian Aiguo , Wang Xian‐Feng , Xu Yuting , Morejon Virginia , Huang Yi‐Chun , Nwapuda Chidi , Deng Wu‐Min
Published: November 2023

Apical‐basal polarity is maintained by distinct protein complexes that reside in membrane junctions, and polarity loss in monolayered epithelial cells can lead to formation of multilayers, cell extrusion, and/or malignant overgrowth. Yet, how polarity loss cooperates with intrinsic signals to control directional invasion toward neighboring epithelial cells remains elusive. Using the Drosophila ovarian follicular epithelium as a model, we found that posterior follicle cells with loss of lethal giant larvae (lgl) or Discs large (Dlg) accumulate apically toward germline cells, whereas cells with loss of Bazooka (Baz) or atypical protein kinase C (aPKC) expand toward the basal side of wildtype neighbors. Further studies revealed that these distinct multilayering patterns in the follicular epithelium were determined by epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) signaling and its downstream target Pointed, a zinc‐finger transcription factor. Additionally, we identified Rho kinase as a Pointed target that regulates formation of distinct multilayering patterns. These findings provide insight into how cell polarity genes and receptor tyrosine kinase signaling interact to govern epithelial cell organization and directional growth that contribute to epithelial tumor formation.
Review of Harvesting freedom: The life of a migrant worker in Canada by Gabriel Allahdua
Authors: Nasser Noura
Published: November 2023

The question of migration, land, labour, and food are intricately intertwined. In this book Harvesting Freedom: The Life of a Migrant Farmworker in Canada is a living narrative that recounts life in St. Lucia, and gradually reveals the enmeshed connections of slavery, colonialism, and racial capitalism manifested in Canada’s farm labour system. The book narrated by Gabriel Allahdua, a migrant farmworker becoming an incomparable migrant justice activist, is evocative of the power of critical research methodologies and knowledge production. Edward Dunsworth in his collaboration with Allahdua, brings to us, a first-hand account in a book format, all while setting up the stage and weaving a rich scholarship in the introduction. This is how decolonizing knowledge can look like in academia.
Review of Canadian literary fare by Nathalie Cooke, Shelley Boyd, with Alexia Moyer
Authors: Shankland Amanda
Published: November 2023

This review looks at Canadian Literary Fare by Nathalie Cooke and Shelley Boyd, with Alexia Moyer. The book gives an unconventional exploration of 'food voices' in Canadian literature. The authors examine the food narratives of celebrated Canadian writers, like Alice Munro, Eden Robinson, Fred Wah, M. NourbeSe Philip, Tomson Highway, Rabindranath Maharaj, and others. The book explores the interactions between literary characters and food, challenging preconceptions about Canadian cuisine. It highlights the voices of Indigenous and immigrant writers, emphasizing the role of food in decolonization and reshaping identities. The authors discuss iconic Canadian foods, the symbolism of food markets, and food as demonstrative of struggles with poverty. Canadian Literary Fare is a valuable resource for those interested in the interplay between food culture and identity. It provides a refreshing departure from traditional approaches, examining Canadian culture through alternative 'food voices'.

[Introduction]: Natural parks with a recreational vocation play a fundamental role in promoting pro-environmental actions among their visitors. However, for the Latin American region, the programs aimed at these purposes have not achieved the expected results. On the contrary, one of the causes that have intensified the environmental deterioration of the parks is recreational activities. One of the major challenges to promote conservation in these areas is the development of environmental awareness among visitors. [Objective]: The study aimed to analyze the stages of environmental awareness of 190 visitors to Sierra Morelos State Park, a natural protected area in the municipality of Toluca, State of Mexico, to support management that strengthens conservation, generates attitudes, and involves visitors in pro-environmental practices. [Methodology]: In order to collect data, a structured questionnaire was designed based on the four dimensions of environmental awareness: cognitive, affective, conative and active. This study conducted a factor analysis, a cluster analysis, and a Kruskal-Wallis test to identify differences between groups. [Results]: Eleven factors were identified, explaining 70.88 % of the cumulative variance. The cluster analysis identified three groups: Stage 1: passive discursive-intentional; Stage 2: environmental predisposition; Stage 3: affective of agreed actions. [Conclusions]: The results show that there is no definite number of stages that explain one or several realities for which human experiences are the key to environmental awareness.
