Reducing the complications of obesity by controlling the balance of inflammation and losing weight with physical exercise can be used as a strategy to overcome obesity problems. This study aims to prove the effect of moderate-intensity endurance exercise on the acute response of proinflammatory cytokines in obese women. A total of 22 obese women aged 20-24 years, with body mass index 27-33 kg/m2, and body fat percentage ≥30%, were selected to be respondents and given moderate-intensity endurance exercise intervention (60-70% HRmax) for 40 minutes. ELISA Kit was applied to evaluate TNF-α levels in all samples. The data analysis technique uses an independent sample t-test with a significance level of 5%. The results show the average TNF-α levels between the control (CON) vs endurance exercise group (END) in pre-exercise (5.47±2.19 vs 5.39±1.45 pg/mL, p=0.932), post-exercise (5.76±2.08 vs 3.68±2.10 pg/mL, p=0.039), delta (value of pre-exercise – post-exercise) (0.29±2.27 vs -1.72±1.04 pg/mL, p=0.020). This study consistently proves that one session of moderate-intensity endurance exercise for 40 minutes reduces TNF-α levels in obese women.

The aim of this scoping review was to comprehensively examine the Upper Quarter Y-Balance Test (UQYBT), including reference values, reliability, determinants, and its practical application. By including studies irrespective of publication date, participant demographics, or research purpose, provided they were in English and incorporated UQYBT as a primary or secondary variable, an extensive dataset was collected. The focus was on limb-length-normalized results to establish standardized reference metrics. Reliability studies highlighted the UQYBT’s consistency across sessions and raters. The application of UQYBT to assess injury risk is questionable. Studies assessing its relationship with sports performance have also yielded varying results. UQYBT seems to be sensitive to various exercise based-interventions, as shown by several clinical trials. This review furnishes practitioners and clinicians with valuable insights for the application of UQYBT in sports and healthcare settings.

This study aims to identify the effects of therapeutic massage on muscle recovery, physiological, psychological and performance in sport. Articles were identified from several databases by searching MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL, PEDro, Web of Science, Scopus, Google Scholar, and PubMed starting from 2010 to 2023, related through databases according to predefined inclusion criteria that were identified previously. In the review, 31 studies were considered to be eligible for inclusion by recruiting male (n=558) participants, aged between 12 and 60 years, and females (n=226) participants, aged between 12 and 60 years. Compared with the active control, twelve studies found massage to have a significant and measurable benefit, whereas five studies found no obvious advantage. Comparing massage with an inactive control, four studies reported massage to have a significant and considerable effect, whereas three studies did not. For massage compared with other therapies, three studies reported massage to have a measurable and considerable effect, whereas two studies did not. Massage as a stand-alone treatment provided a considerable and substantial benefit in two studies, whereas one study found no significant impact on muscle healing, performance, physiological, and psychological. In conclusion, the current study revealed that massage had a large and substantial advantage when compared with an inactive and active control, but not when compared with other interventions, as examined in this review. There was a shred of conflicting evidence to prove the superior outcomes of massage when administered as a stand-alone treatment and relative to other forms of therapies. However, the efficiency of massage is rarely assessed.

The aim of this study was to assess the basic motor competencies of primary school children in relation to their participation in sports. The research involved 86 children aged 9 and 10 (46 boys, 40 girls), comprising a group of 53 athletes (30 boys, 23 girls) and 33 non-athletes (16 boys, 17 girls). Using the MOBAK 3–4 test battery, the study compared motor competence data between these groups. Results indicated that sports-playing children demonstrated motor skills comparable to non-athletes in terms of object-movement (OM) abilities. Specifically, significant differences were observed in OM skills (mean =4.52), notably in the throwing test (mean =0.94) favoring the sporting population (p<0.05). While in other OM tests there was no difference between the groups. In the self-movement (SM) area, there was no difference between the athletic and non-athletic group. However, the overall score for SM (mean =3.43) demonstrated significance in favor of sports-playing children. The total score (mean =7.96) significantly favored the sports-playing group (p<0.05). The findings confirm that children engaged in regular sports activities exhibit higher levels of physical literacy, as reflected in their measurable motor competencies. This underscores the importance of incorporating motor competence diagnostics into school practices to enhance physical education initiatives.

Physical literacy (PL) is considered an important determinant of physical activity level (PAL), but studies have rarely examined the associations between PL and PAL in preadolescents. This study aimed to evaluate associatios between PL, PAL and sedentary behavior (SB) in preadolescents from southeastern Europe. The participants were 9- to 11-year-old children from Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina (n=333, 52% girls) who were tested for PL, PAL and SB. The PLAYself questionnaire was used for the evaluation of PL, while PAL was estimated by data provided throughout the Physical Activity Questionnaire for Children (PAQ-C). Pearson’s correlations and multiple regressions were calculated to identify the associations between study variables. The results revealed a significant correlation between PL and PAL in the total sample (16% of the common variance) among boys (10% of the common variance) and girls (25% of the common variance), which was additionally confirmed by multiple regression calculated between the PL subdomains and PAL (R2=0.23, 0.15, and 0.31 for total sample, boys and girls, respectively). The SB was not significantly correlated with PL (<2% of the common variance; p>0.05) or with PAL (<1% of the common variance; p>0.05). The results indicated a stronger association between PL and PAL in girls than in boys, indicating the possible influence of the types of physically demanding activities children are involved in on the studied associations. To explore causality more specifically, intervention studies are warranted.

Detecting children and minors who are at risk of developing childhood sarcopenic obesity frequently necessitates the use of specialized equipment and costly testing procedures. Finding more affordable and efficient techniques would be extremely advantageous, particularly if they are applicable in various field environments. The aim of this research was to investigate if a comprehensive evaluation of hand grip strength relative to BMI could distinguish young female candidates who may be at risk of developing second-class sarcopenic obesity. The study involved 535 female participants chosen at random from 9 elementary schools in the Skopje region of the Republic N. Macedonia. Several anthropometric measures, body composition measures, and absolute and relative handgrip strength were utilized to achieve the research goals based on the definition of sarcopenic obesity. Bioelectrical impedance was used to determine the percentage of body fat and skeletal muscle mass, with the skeletal muscle mass to fat ratio being calculated. Considering the relative handgrip strength in predicting a sarcopenic obesity class II in female candidates the area under the curve was 0.816. Relative handgrip strength (RHGS kg/kg/m2) is a useful indicator for identifying sarcopenic obesity in young females and can be valuable for guiding health interventions.

Professional Dancers are contemplated as athletes as it is involving repetitive and rhythmic movement. These strenuous activities are the negative stressors and reason for overuse injuries leading to discomfort and pain. This pain and discomfort results in some major issues in the future and it can affect their professional performance or career. This study aimed to exploring the prevalence, common region involved and relation of course of pain in different regions of the body in dancers. A total of 110 dancers, both male and female, participated in this cross-sectional study using the Nordic MSD questionnaire tool. The mean and standard deviation for age (years), height (cm), weight (kg), BMI (kg/cm²), experience (years), and weekly practice hours were calculated as follows: for women, 21.87±4.47, 165.57±9.89, 60.98±17.85, 22.20±5.93, 8.05±5.47, and 8.98±6.93, and for men, 21.83±6.59, 173.73±7.34, 70.41±11.43, 23.23±3.24, 7.84±5.55, and 9.36±6.95. The result findings revealed, 30.8% participants had pain in the low back region that in last 7 days, followed by shoulder 27.3% and ankle 25.5%. In last 12 months 51% participants reported pain, discomfort and numbness in the lower back region followed by ankle/ foot and knee (31%). In response towards the restriction in the ADL, lower back pain cases (30%) were highest followed by knee (23.6%). The results also revealed that neck pain is strongly and positively associated with upper back pain(r=.601) and moderately related to shoulder pain (r=.467). The study concludes that the lower back region is more prevalent area for pain following the ankle and knee among dancers.

Understanding food habits and nutritional knowledge in youth athletes could contribute to optimal recovery and improving performance in basketball. Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess the relationships between physical fitness, with food habits and nutritional knowledge in basketballers. Twenty-three healthy youth players to the same elite basketball academy participated in this study. Basketballers performed a basketball fitness test battery including jumping tests [countermovement jump (CMJ) and drop jump (DJ)]; 5, 10 and 20 m-linear sprints; change of direction (COD) tests [Lane Agility Drill test and 505 test], and repeated change-of-direction (RCOD) sprint and completed a Turconi questionnaire based on eating habits and nutritional knowledge. While no significant (p>0.05) correlations were found between physical fitness attributes and total score obtained in sections C and H in dietary questionnaire, significant correlations (r=0.606–0.971; large - nearly perfect; p<0.001 – 0.003) were found among jumping, COD, RCOD and LSST tests. These findings suggest that physical performance of youth basketball players is not influenced by their level of dietary behaviors and nutritional knowledge.

This study aims to analyze further the effect of service quality on the confidence of wheelchair athletes. The family support is referred to as a moderator variable. This quantitative research type used the Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA) method. Sampling was carried out at a special open tournament for wheelchair athletes. The total number of athletes was 122 (basketball =30, tennis =16, badminton =22, archery =20, fencing =16, table tennis =18), with characteristics as follows: aged 25.36±2.4 years, and had 11.37±1.2 years of coaching rate. The instrument was a questionnaire which had been validated through the focus group discussion (FGD) with experts, namely sports training lecturers and wheelchair trainers. The initial results were typically distributed data based on the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test 0.200. The second regression test analysis without moderation was 0.003, and R2=0.466, meaning there was an effect between service quality and self-confidence. The third moderation analysis was 0.000, and R2=0.583. The family support variable moderated positively and significantly between service quality and self-confidence. In conclusion, the wheelchair athletes’ self-confidence is determined in one way, namely developing and improving good service quality. With the support of parents, wheelchair athletes feel supported by emotional, nutritional, instrumental, appreciation, and informative aspects. Thus, good service quality and family support can increase wheelchair athletes’ self-confidence, and hopefully it impacts their achievement.
An Empirical Analysis of Institutional Investor Decision-Making Factors in IPO Book-Building
Authors: Kim Myung Hyun , Shin Seungwoo
Published: June 2024

Various studies on IPOs have been conducted and have mainly focused on determinants of the public offering price. In this study, we analyzed the investment decision-making factors of institutional investors by focusing on the book-building process (a step before the public offering price decision). We conducted an empirical study on the determinants of institutional investors’ investment decisions based on data from 542 companies that participated in the book-building process from January 2017 to December 2023. As a result of the analysis, the significant variables were differentiated by the dependent variables. We found that the IT sector, size of the applied multiple, and disparity in the KOSDAQ index were essential factors in common. However, company characteristics written in the prospectus and financial data calculated based on the previous year’s performance were not significant in terms of institutional investors' decision-making. For the analysis, we used a seemingly unrelated regression (SUR) model (institutional competition rate, participation intensity, and mandatory holding pledge) and a multinomial logit model (selection of price band).

Published: June 2024

In forming an audit opinion, some aspects need to be considered by state auditors. This study aims to investigate the impact of integrity, independence, professional skepticism, and audit situation on audit opinion in the context of auditing state institutions by state auditors. Cluster proportional sampling was used to sample 52 auditors who worked at the Directorate General of Audit I, BPK RI. The analysis was conducted using structural equation modeling and partial least squares with SmartPLS 4 software. The results revealed that integrity and independence positively affected audit opinion. Professional skepticism and audit situations do not affect audit opinion. The results will provide input to the BPK RI in guiding the development of auditor competencies to improve the quality of audit results. This study concludes that auditors believe that when they demonstrate integrity and independence, the accuracy of audit opinion will increase. This is because, with these qualities, an auditor will have courage, honesty, and responsibility and will not be unduly influenced. Although previous studies have extensively examined the impact of these factors in the context of audit firms auditing commercial companies, this is a novel study in the context of audits conducted by state auditors for state institutions.

Published: June 2024

Bu araştırmanın temel amacı ortaokul dil bilgisi konu sıralamasına yönelik mevcut programdaki sorunların tespit edilmesi ve bu sorunlara ilişkin sunulan çözüm önerilerinin belirlenmesidir. Nitel araştırma desenlerinden durum çalışmasına göre yürütülen çalışmada çeşitli illerde görev yapan yirmi Türkçe öğretmeniyle yarı yapılandırılmış görüşmeler yapılmıştır. Araştırma verileri yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formuyla toplanmıştır. Yapılan görüşmeler aracılığıyla 5, 6, 7 ve 8. sınıf dil bilgisi konu sıralamasında mevcut programda görülen sorunlar tespit edilmiş, Türkçe öğretmenlerinin bu sorunlara yönelik çözüm önerileri alınmış ve bu görüşlerin analizi ana ve alt kategorilere ayrılarak gerçekleştirilmiştir. Çalışmada 5. sınıflardaki dil bilgisi konu sadeliğinden sonra 6. sınıflarda dil bilgisi konu yoğunluğunun çok fazla olduğu, 6. sınıflardaki belirli konuların 5 ve 7. sınıflara dağıtılarak yoğunluğun azaltılması gerektiği sonuçlarına ulaşılmıştır. Bunun yanı sıra 7. sınıflardaki ek fiil konusuyla 8. sınıflardaki fiilimsi konularının daha yüzeysel bir şekilde ele alınması, mevcut programda 7 ve 8. sınıflarda iki aşamada verilen anlatım bozukluğu konusunun konu bütünlüğünün sağlanması adına 7 veya 8. sınıflarda tek bir konu olarak işlenmesi gerektiği sonuçlarına ulaşılmıştır. Elde edilen bir diğer önemli sonuç 5, 6 ve 7. sınıflarda yazım bilgisi konusunda geçen bazı terimlerin 8. sınıflarda öğretimi yapılan cümlenin ögeleri konusuna ait olmasının da konuların anlaşılması bakımından sorun teşkil ettiğidir. Çalışmada elde edilen veriler daha önce dil bilgisi alanında yapılan çalışmalar bağlamında ele alınarak öneriler sunulmuştur.

Anadolu ağızları ile ilgili, günümüze kadar birçok çalışma yapılmıştır. Bu çalışmalar, ele aldığı yörenin fonetik hususiyetlerini göstermesi bakımından oldukça değerlidir. Nitekim eskiden sınırlı imkânlarla ulaşım sağlanan Anadolu'nun pek çok bölgesi, bugün ulaşılmaz olmaktan çıkmış, televizyon yayınları ve internet bağlantıları en ücra köşelere yayılmış bunun neticesinde o yöreye ait ağız özellikleri, yazı diline yaklaşmaya başlamıştır. Bu sebeple yakın gelecekte ağız alanları ile ilgili çalışmalar, günümüze kadar yapılmış olanların verilerinden hareketle ele alınacaktır. Hâl kategorisi de bu ağız çalışmalarının şekil bilgisi bölümünde bizce çok da önem verilmeden ele alınan bir konudur. İncelediğimiz ağız çalışmalarında yer almayan fakat ana fonksiyon bildiren "hedef hâli", bu çalışmanın konusunu oluşturmaktadır. Dil bilgisi çalışmalarında yönelme/yaklaşma hâli başlığı altında verilen örnekler dikkatle incelenecek olursa, bunların yönelme/yaklaşmadan farklı fonksiyonlar da icra ettiği görülecektir. Batı grubu ağızlarında incelediğimiz "hedef hâli", anlam-işlev odaklı bir yaklaşımla ele alınmış olup fonksiyonları da buna göre belirlenmiştir.

Abstract
The EFSA Panel on Plant Health performed a pest categorisation of Popillia quadriguttata (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae), following a commodity risk assessment of bonsai Pinus parviflora grafted onto P. thunbergii from China, in which P. quadriguttata was identified as a pest of possible concern for the territory of the European Union. This is a univoltine polyphagous pest that occurs in eastern Asia from Vietnam northwards through eastern China and Taiwan, South Korea and into Far East Russia. Hosts include species of fruit trees within the genera Malus and Prunus, trees of forestry and environmental importance such as Quercus and Ulmus, shrubs such as Wisteria, soft fruit such as Rubus, grasses, including amenity turf and field crops such as potatoes, maize and soybean. Adults feed on host leaves, tender stems, flower buds, flowers and fruits; larvae feed on host roots. In northern China P. quadriguttata is a major pest of soybean; in South Korea, P. quadriguttata is one of the most serious insect pests of golf course turf. P. quadriguttata could enter the EU on various pathways including infested soil and growing media accompanying host plants for planning. Biotic factors (host availability) and abiotic factors (climate suitability) suggest that large parts of the EU would be suitable for establishment. Local spread would be mainly via natural dispersal of adults. Long distance spread would be facilitated by the movement of eggs, larvae and pupae infesting soil especially with plants for planting; adults could spread on plants for planting without soil. Economic and or environmental impacts would be expected on a range of plants if P. quadriguttata were to establish in the EU. Phytosanitary measures are available to reduce the likelihood of its introduction. P. quadriguttata satisfies all of the criteria that are within the remit of EFSA to assess for it to be regarded as a potential Union quarantine pest.
Política migratoria disuasoria: los haitianos en Acuña, Coahuila
Authors: Frausto Ortega Jesús , Parra Ávila Juan
Published: June 2024

El objetivo de este trabajo es identificar las principales medidas adoptadas por las autoridades migratorias o de seguridad mexicanas hacia la migración haitiana en Ciudad Acuña, Coahuila, a partir de la exploración de algunas experiencias de las personas haitianas en su contexto migratorio. La metodología fue: a) aplicación de entrevistas a seis personas migrantes; b) revisión hemerográfica sobre el tema y; c) uso de datos estadísticos sobre migración extranjera del Instituto Nacional de Migración (INM). Los datos sugieren que la política aplicada hacia las personas haitianas que llegaron a Acuña, Coahuila, fue la de contener, disuadir y expulsar esa migración en donde participaron instancias de los tres niveles de gobierno: INM y Guardia Nacional, policías estatal y local, y que éstas últimas, en la práctica, se han convertido en una especie de policía migratoria, una función que le compete al INM. Y la voz de las personas haitianas no tuvo eco, éstos vieron con frustración y miedo las medidas de contención adoptadas por las autoridades de EU y de México. Y éstas contribuyeron a su incertidumbre y temor al no contar con los permisos migratorios para obtener su estancia legal en el país, y con ello poder ser deportados.

VARGA ZOLTÁN TÖRTÉNÉSZ PROFESSZOR, A KOSSUTH LAJOS TUDOMÁNY EGYETEM 1955-1957 KÖZÖTTI RECTOR MAGNIFICUSA
Authors: Barta János
Published: June 2024

Zoltán Varga, professor of history, had been the rector of Lajos Kossuth University in a quite controversial period. Although, the easing political tensions following Stalin’s death in the Soviet Union could be felt in Hungary as well, the Communist leadership’s insistence on power has prevented any substantial change. The reform-proposals of the university bodies remained ineffective against the political leadership. The lecturers and students thus assumed a leading role in the local events of the October 1956 revolution in Debrecen. University Rector Zoltán Varga - who was removed from his position by the revolutionary leadership – following the aftermath of the revolution, returned to his post and worked hard to save his colleagues and students from reprisals. However, due to his illness, he resigned from his post in the spring of 1957.
MALAYALAM CINEMA DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC: EXPLORING THE SEMIOTICS OF NARRATIVE TRENDS
Authors: Thomas Ajeesh
Published: June 2024

The article explores the symbiotic relationship between cinema and technological advancements, underlining the substantial impact of these advancements on both the artistic and technical aspects of filmmaking. It underscores that innovations in areas such as cinematography, recording techniques, lighting, and post-production editing have led to profound changes in the cinematic landscape. These changes not only manifest in the creation and presentation of films but also significantly influence the audience's perceptual and experiential dimensions.Moreover, the article emphasizes that cinema functions as a reflection of societal and cultural paradigms, embodying principles from aesthetics and semiotics. It posits that cinema is not solely a medium for storytelling but also serves as a canvas upon which the aesthetics and semiotic interpretations of different time periods are portrayed. The discussion extends to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the social and cultural dynamics, thereby contributing an additional layer to the examination of how cinema adapts and asserts its influence in this context. In this milieu, the pandemic has compelled filmmakers to explore alternative digital platforms, prompting a reevaluation of Malayalam cinema from both a creative and semiotic perspective. This article strives to engage in a comprehensive exploration of these intricate interactions, aiming to shed light on the multifaceted relationship between cinema and technological progress.

The aim of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of fjorbid-a-mediated sono-dynamic therapy in a 3D prostate cancer cell model. The effect of fjorbid-a-mediated sonodynamic therapy was examined by crystal violet staining in a 3D cell culture model created using human PC3 cells. Furthermore, apoptosis mechanisms were an-alyzed using Hoechst and propidium iodide staining (HOPI), and the levels of total oxidant (TOS) and total antioxidant (TAS) were assessed biochemically using cor-responding kits. Crystal violet staining was employed to assess the effectiveness of sonodynamic therapy facilitated by pheophorbide-a, revealing a substantial 75% re-duction in the viability of cancer cells. HOPI staining results indicated that there was no noteworthy increment in the count of apoptotic cells in the control, drug-only, or ultrasound-only groups. However, a remarkable 80% increase in apoptotic cell count was observed following pheophorbide-a-mediated sonodynamic treatment. Addi-tionally, biochemical measurements demonstrated elevated levels of Total Oxidant Status (TOS) and decreased levels of Total Antioxidant Status (TAS) in the treatment groups in comparison to the control groups. Based on the acquired data, it was estab-lished that pheophorbide-a-induced sonodynamic therapy for prostate cancer treat-ment diminishes cell viability by inducing apoptosis through oxidative stress in a 3D cell culture system.

Çalışma alanı olarak Elazığ ili Alacakaya ilçesi çevresi seçilmiş ve bu alandan doğal olarak yetişen Alyssum murale türlerine ait örnekler toplanmıştır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, düşük konsantrasyonlarda bor içeren bazik topraklarda (serpantinli topraklar) yetişen Alyssum murale bitkisi kullanılarak, topraktan bor giderimi ve bu bitkinin kök ve dalında bor birikim kapasitelerinin araştırılmasıdır. Bu kapsamda serpantinli topraklar üzerinde yetişen 12 adet Alyssum murale bitkisi toprağı, kök ve dalı ile birlikte toplanarak, bor için kimyasal analizleri yapılmıştır. Kimyasal analizler ICP-MS (İndüktif Eşleşmiş Plazma-Kütle Spektrometresi)’ de gerçekleştirilmiştir. Ortalama olarak, toprakta 6.5 ppm, kökte 24.4 ppm ve dalda ise 76.4 ppm bor değerleri saptanmıştır. Bu bitkinin toprak, kök ve dallarındaki bor zenginleşme değerleri (ECR, ECS ve TLF) oldukça yüksek çıkmıştır. Bu da Alyssum murale bitkisinin topraktan hem köke, hem de dala önemli oranda bor akümülasyonu gerçekleştirdiğini işaret etmektedir. Sonuç olarak, Alyssum murale, bor bakımından fakir topraklarda yüksek oranda bor akümüle etme yeteneğine sahip olduğunu göstermiştir. Bu da özellikle bor ile kirlenmiş topraklardan borun temizlenmesi ve rehabilite edilmesi için iyi bir akümülatör bitki olduğunu, dolayısıyla da fitoremedi-asyon çalışmalarında kolaylıkla kullanılabileceği sonucuna varılmıştır.

La madera es un material ampliamente usado en construcción, muebles, entre otras aplicaciones. Para mantener su calidad y durabilidad se emplean tecnologías de protección contra daños biológicos y los efectos del agua, la temperatura y la radiación que afectan sus propiedades físicas y mecánicas. En el presente trabajo se realizó una revisión de los tratamientos disponibles y se evaluaron sus ventajas e inconvenientes, además se definieron los criterios para su utilización. La temática se dividió en dos secciones: (I) los agentes degradadores de la madera, y (II) una clasificación de tecnologías de protección que incluyó tanto métodos tradicionales, como enfoques novedosos, tal es el caso de la nanotecnología. Bajo este enfoque, las conclusiones obtenidas apuntan a que diversos tratamientos químicos tradicionales reducen, sustancialmente, el daño biológico y la absorción de humedad en la madera. No obstante, deben considerarse los posibles efectos a la salud y al ambiente. Por otra parte, si se emplean tratamientos térmicos, la estabilidad dimensional de la madera mejora. El uso de compuestos nanométricos para la protección de la madera es una técnica muy prometedora y en creciente desarrollo. Sin embargo, es una tecnología de especial cuidado porque los nanomateriales tienen que ser tóxicos para los agentes causantes del biodeterioro, pero inocuos o menos peligrosos para los humanos y el ambiente.

O filme "Safe" (1995), dirigido por Todd Haynes, conta a história de Carol White, dona de casa de classe média alta em Los Angeles, que começa a sofrer de uma misteriosa alergia aos frutos da “modernidade” (alimentos ultraprocessados, produtos sintéticos e poluição). Realizado décadas atrás, o filme é atual para criticar a sociedade contemporânea, explorando a desconexão e o vazio existencial nas crises ambientais. A resenha se aprofunda nos dilemas sofridos pela personagem que, apesar de viver em um ambiente abastado, sente-se alienada e busca refúgio em um grupo que oferece uma solução pseudocientífica para seu mal. O filme se posiciona como uma crítica à sociedade de consumo e às consequências das políticas neoliberais, questionando a eficácia de soluções superficiais para problemas profundos e sistêmicos.
