The aim of this study was to determine the effects of flavonoid, which is a product of citrus production, on blood parameters and HSP 70 concentration in quails applied at thermoneutral and heat stress. In this study, 160 quails (Coturnix coturnix japonica, male), 6 wk old and 150-200 g live weight, were housed in cages for 1 wk of exercise and 5 wk of trial period. The study design consists of 4 groups of 40 animals and 4 subgroups with 10 animals in each group. Thermoneutral (24 ± 0.1 o C) groups are NC (0 g hesperidin/kg basal feed) and NHES3 (3 g hesperidin /kg basal feed) and heat stress (34 ± 0.1 oC) groups are HC (0 g hesperidin/kg basal feed) and HHES3 (3 g hesperidin /kg basal feed) were randomly generated. In the case of heat stress, pO2, pH, HCO3, Cl concentrations decreased in the HHES3 group compared to the HC group (P<0.05). ALP enzyme concentration showed a significant decrease in the HHES3 group compared to the HC group in the heat stress condition. Heat shock protein (HSP70) protein level increased in blood serum, kidney, liver and thigh tissues in HC group with cellular stress during heat stress; however, HSP70 concentration decreased significantly in the HHES3 group. As a result, positive effects of hesperidin supplementation in the diet were found in both heat stress and thermoneutral conditions.

Adenocarcinoma pulmonar ovino en México
Authors: Ruíz-Ramírez Johnatan Alberto , Chávez-Ramírez Brayan Jossue , García-Valle Jorge Luis , De las Heras Marcelo , López-Mayagoitia Alfonso , García-Márquez Luis Jorge
Published: October 2023

Ovine pulmonary adenocarcinoma is a transmissible pulmonary malignancy of sheep caused by a beta-retrovirus currently named Jaagsiekte sheep retrovirus (JSRV). Club cells (formerly Clara cells) in the bronchiole and type II pneumonocytes in the alveoli are the target oncogenic cells for this virus. Characterized clinically by intermittent cough, abundant nasal discharge, and progressive weight loss, the tumors randomly involve all lung lobes or have a cranioventral distribution mimicking bronchopneumonia. The definitive diagnosis of ovine pulmonary adenocarcinoma requires identifying Jaagsiekte sheep retrovirus or associated specific proteins in neoplastic cells such as JSRV-Env oncogenic protein. A two-year-old Male Pelibuey sheep with a history of chronic cough and progressive weight loss was treated unsuccessfully with antibiotics and died a few days later. Postmortem examination revealed lung edema and several nodular to locally extensive masses in the lungs. Microscopically the tumoral tissues were composed of clusters of neoplastic epithelial cells exhibiting a lepidic growth pattern typical of pulmonary carcinoma. Tumoral cells were immunopositive for Jaagsiekte sheep retrovirus-Env oncogenic protein. Based on these findings, the final diagnosis of ovine pulmonary adenocarcinoma was made.

Authors: Callejas Juárez Nicolás , Salas Gonzalez Jose Maria
Published: October 2023

La ganadería, el transporte y el aprovechamiento de bovinos son problemas asociados con la dotación de recursos, la distancia recorrida y los tipos de mercado. Se investigó la estructura de la red de movilización de ganado bovino por mercado a nivel municipal y estatal en México durante el periodo 2017-2021. Los datos se analizaron con medidas de estructura económica y de Análisis de Redes Sociales. En el periodo de análisis, un promedio anual de 8.9 millones de cabezas de ganado fueron movilizadas en México: 57.9 % interestatal y 42.1 % intra estatal. Los mercados más importantes fueron para rastro y engorda, el resto correspondió a repasto, reproducción, ferias y espectáculos. La especialización promedio de los mercados y de los estados fue baja, con mayor especialización en el mercado para espectáculos. La estructura de la red estatal de todos los mercados presentó un alto grado promedio y de densidad, pero baja centralidad de salida y entrada. Estas medidas hacen que, en promedio, los estados puedan conectarse en 1.2 pasos a la red nacional y 1.7 en la red por motivo. Se concluye que la estructura estatal del mercado de bovinos en México se compone de 32 orígenes, 32 destinos, seis mercados y mayor movilización interestatal de sur al norte del país.
Filosofia latino-americana
Authors: Teles da Silveira Ronie Alexsandro
Published: October 2023

O trabalho filosófico tem se identificado quase que exclusivamente com uma tradição endógena. Isso significa que a maioria da reflexão sobre a América Latina se apresenta como alguma forma de História da Filosofia Latino-Americana. Não creio que exista nada de errado com isso, senão o fato de confundirmos as duas coisas: História da Filosofia Latino-Americana não é Filosofia Latino-Americana. A Filosofia Latino-Americana ocupa-se com a América Latina e é exatamente isso o que tento fazer nesse livro. Portanto, não me ocupo aqui com filosofias latino-americanas e optei deliberadamente por evitar qualquer discussão acerca delas. Por isso, o foco da atenção está voltado para fora, em direção à própria América Latina: situação cultural em que vivem os filósofos latino-americanos.
Application of Capacity Spectrum Method (CSM) for non-symmetrical reinforced concrete high-rise buildings as a tool for seismic design
Authors: Ayuddin Ayuddin , Bindhu K. R.

The development of earthquake resistance design of structures in the last decade has been critically changing from strength and ductility to performance criteria, where the structure is decided for various levels of structural performance. To understand the structural performance because, at time, a large earthquake load on the structure will experience structural yielding, non-linear analysis with the capacity spectrum method will be performed. The relationship between roof displacement and base shear force is described by a curve that describes the structural capacity is a capacity curve. To determine the behavior of the structures under review for a given earthquake intensity, the capacity curve is then compared with the performance demand based on various earthquake intensities. The results of the case studies for reinforced concrete portals non-symmetrical 3D concluded that the convergence obtained at the point of the structure performance is   and . The displacement results for the actual structure () were 286.71 mm and building base shear coefficient was 15.46 %.
Islamic Resilience as Spiritual and Psychological Coping Strategies for Muslims during COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Gumiandari Septi , Madjid Abd. , Nafi’a Ilman , Safii Safii , Hidayat Abas
Published: October 2023

This study aims to explain the concept of resilience from the Islamic perspective. This study used qualitative methodology with a literature approach. The results showed that the phenomenon of religious human behavior should not only be judged by the lens of modern secular psychology theory, but also by the theory of psychology based on Islamic values. It is because they have different frames in looking at reality; and resilience in Islam is an obligation. Having resilient personalities, in Islamic teaching, means individuals’ iman (faith) should be tested. Humans are motivated to have resilience after getting life’s problems with the Covid-19 issue. Individuals’ faith has not reached a high level of spirituality when they have not been tested. There are some personalities in Islam that are in line with the concept of resilience for overcoming the Covid-19 issue in positive psychology such as sabr, tawakkal, shukr, rida, ikhlas and tawbah. In order to increase resilience in overcoming the Covid-19 issue, Sufis provide spiritual training such as takhalli, tahalli, and tajalli.
Islamic Sustainable Development Theories and Their Intellectual Role in Developing Education during Pandemics
Authors: Qatawneh Mohammad Abdelhamid Salem , Al-Naimat Amal Abdallah
Published: October 2023

In Islamic thought, human development in general and sustainable development in education, in particular, is two of the pillars underpinning community development and awareness. These pillars are the mechanisms that would raise and invest in people’s awareness without depleting their energy and efforts, ensuring that wealth and development are perpetuated for generations to come. With revelation and reason as underpinning references, Islamic thought preaches the same pillars and concepts through the five necessities that Islam underlines as a reference for developing people and protecting them against being drained in any form. In view of this, the present paper has sought to review sustainable development in education and the relevant theories in the light of Islamic thought during crises (COVID-19 pandemic as a model). This endeavour is to identify the common ground between general theories of sustainable development in education and the foundations laid by Islamic thought under crises and pandemics based on revelation. The study aimed to solve pending educational issues and look for effective solutions through the sustainable development strategy and the relevant Islamic theories. The study applied the descriptive analytical method to identify and examine these theories. It was concluded that Islamic thought has both depth and inclusiveness, along with a continued momentum to achieve educational development, sustainability, and growth through the foundations it has laid for attaining sustainable development in education.
Intrathecal tranexamic acid accident and their reporting system in India
Authors: Patel Dr Santosh
Published: October 2023

The incidence of drug administration errors in hospitals in India is not
known. We aimed to extract and investigate India-specific incidents of
intrathecal tranexamic acid (TXA) administration during spinal
anaesthesia. Our secondary aim was to identify any publications related
to national drug error and reporting systems for hospitals in India. We
analysed eleven published reports of tranexamic acid administration
intrathecally in place of heavy bupivacaine. The primary cause was the
availability of look-like TXA and local anaesthetic (heavy 0.5%
bupivacaine) ampoules in operating rooms. We found three manufacturers
designed, manufactured and supplied identical TXA and heavy bupivacaine
ampules. In addition, different manufacturers had similar products
available in operating rooms. We searched PubMed and Google Scholar for
any publication on India’s national medication error reporting system
for hospitals. There was no publication on the national medication
safety system involving hospitals. It demonstrates there needs to be a
federal structure to report and monitor medication administration and
other types of errors in hospitals in India. We highlight potential
difficulties and barriers in creating a national system to notify,
monitor and prevent medication errors in hospitals in India.

Bilgisayar ile otomatik tasarım bir tasarımın bilgisayar tarafından ve insan müdahalesi olmadan gerçekleştirilmesidir. Eşzamanlı boyut, şekil ve topoloji optimizasyonu konusunda yapılan çalışmalar, bilgisayar ile otomatik tasarımın, bilgisayar destekli tasarımın yerini almaya hazırlandığını göstermektedir. Eşzamanlı boyut, şekil ve topoloji optimizasyonu konusunda sunulan çoğu çalışma, önerdiği optimizasyon yönteminin (veya yöntem iyileştirmesinin) performansını popüler test problemleri ile ölçmektedir. Bu test problemleri, kabul edilebilir sürelerde çözülebilmelerini mümkün kılmak amacıyla bir takım basitleştirmeler kullanılarak tasarlanmışlardır; ve bu sebeple gerçek dünya problemlerini temsil edememektedirler. Dahası, söz edilen problemlerin çoğunda sadece yapısal kısıtlar göz önünde bulundurulur ve yapım kısıtları ihmal edilir. Yapısal kısıtlar kullanılan malzeme (gerilme, şekil değiştirme vb.) ve taşıyıcı sistem davranışı (düğüm yer değiştirmesi, global burkulma vb.) ile ilgilidir. Yapım kısıtları ise sistemde kesişen elemanların bulunmaması ve bir düğüme çok sayıda elemanın bağlanmaması gibi sistemin imal edilmesini mümkün kılan kısıtlardır. Bu çalışmada düzlem kafes sistemlerin bilgisayar ile otomatik tasarımının gerçek hesaplama yükü tartışılmıştır. Burada “gerçek hesaplama yükü” ifadesi ile anlatılmak istenen, gerçek dünya problemlerinde olmayan basitleştirici kısıtların bulunmadığı ve yapısal kısıtların yanında yapım kısıtlarının da hesaba katıldığı tasarım problemlerine yakın-optimal çözümler aramak için harcanan işlem gücüdür. Kafes sistemlerin optimizasyonu için uygun olduğu daha önce yapılan çalışmalarla gösterilmiş parametresiz bir metasezgisel algoritma kullanılarak sayısal deneyler yapılmış ve sonuçlar tartışılmıştır.
On the limitations of small cubes as test coupons for process parameter optimization in laser powder bed fusion of metals
Authors: Mohr Gunther , Altenburg Simon J. , Hilgenberg Kai
Published: October 2023

The capability to produce complexly and individually shaped metallic parts is one of the main advantages of the laser powder bed fusion process. Development of material and machine specific process parameters is commonly based on the results acquired from small cubic test coupons of ∼10 mm edge length. Such cubes are usually used to conduct the optimization of process parameters to produce dense materials. The parameters are then taken as the basis for the manufacturing of real part geometries. However, complex geometries go along with complex thermal histories during the manufacturing process, which can significantly differ from thermal conditions prevalent during the production of simply shaped test coupons. This may lead to unexpected and unpredicted local inhomogeneities of the microstructure and defect distribution in the final part, and it is a root cause of reservations against the use of additive manufacturing for the production of safety relevant parts. In this study, the influence of changing thermal conditions on the resulting melt pool depth of 316L stainless steel specimens is demonstrated. A variation in thermographically measured intrinsic preheating temperatures was triggered by the alteration of interlayer times and a variation in cross-sectional areas of specimens for three distinct sets of process parameters. Correlations between the preheating temperature, the melt pool depth, and occurring defects were analyzed. The limited expressiveness of the results of small density cubes is revealed throughout the systematic investigation. Finally, a clear recommendation to consider thermal conditions in future process parameter optimizations is given.

Covid-19 (SARS-CoV-2), a new type of coronavirus, first appeared in the Chinese city of Wuhan in December 2019 and has become the main cause of the pandemic today. Although molecular studies continue, vaccination studies are not sufficient. In this Covid-19 process, which provides further increase in antiviral drug discoveries, we perform ligand-protein interactions in order to find an antiviral active substance with this study, Autodock. We present the analyzes based on the comparison of 8 different ligands(3',5-Dihydroxy-4',6,7-trimethoxyflavanone, Isovitexin-2'-O-rhamnoside, Solafuranone, (R)-5,3'-Dimethyl hesperidin, Phloretin 3',5'-Di-C-glucoside, Isomargaritene, Margaritene and Clemomandshuricoside B) based on the 6LU7 protein. It was observed that the molecules were bound by interacting with the main protease of Covid-19. Thus, we aim to be a reference with you in this article for further studies that enable ligands to create drug potential. Our results will serve as a reference for this molecular docking study

Published: October 2023

O objetivo do artigo consiste em realizar uma análise crítica do processo de plataformização da educação intensificado com a implementação da Reforma do Ensino Médio, e dos possíveis efeitos impostos à organização do trabalho pedagógico, ao currículo e ao trabalho docente. A pesquisa, de cunho bibliográfico e documental, teve como horizonte a análise dos pressupostos políticos e pedagógicos subjacentes aos processos de plataformização. A proposta se deteve na análise empírica de recursos e plataformas digitais adotadas pelo estado do Paraná a partir do ano de 2022, configurando-se como uma janela de oportunidades para a expansão de novos nichos de mercado bem como de padronização dos currículos e dos processos pedagógicos. Como resultados, evidenciou-se que a Reforma do Ensino Médio e a adoção de novas plataformas digitais pode recair em novos processos de regulação, vigilância e controle que convergem e favorecem, sobretudo, para a desqualificação do trabalho docente e para a expansão da privatização, com consequentes prejuízos formativos que sinalizam para uma formação danificada e para o agravamento das desigualdades educacionais.

Published: October 2023

Este artigo objetiva descrever de que modo se constrói um discurso sobre as tecnologias, nas políticas curriculares da educação básica, mapeando as diferentes concepções de tecnologia que se encontram presentes. Como pressuposto teórico, é abordada a perspectiva contemporânea da filosofia da tecnologia, a partir da categorização apresentada pelo filósofo Andrew Feenberg. Na pesquisa, foi utilizada a Análise do Discurso (AD) como método de pesquisa e os procedimentos foram orientados pela base epistemológica da teoria foucaultiana do discurso. Com relação aos resultados, não foi identificada uma sequência linear de concepções, ao longo das décadas, nas políticas curriculares. Conclui-se, na realidade, que há um discurso híbrido no que diz respeito às concepções, ou seja, uma hibridização de tendências teóricas distintas.

This article deals with the problem of synthesis of optimal by the minimal value of integral-quadratic criterion dynamic systems, which are described by a model of equations in state variables. Based on finding the Lyapunov matrix and optimization equations, we propose a method for synthesizing a set of feedback loop coefficients with respect to state variables that provide the minimal value of integral quadratic criteria when exposed to external coordinate disturbances. Finding the feedback loop coefficients with respect to state variables of the dynamic system using the proposed method extends the optimization methods of such systems by integral-quadratic criteria in a vector-matrix description taking into account the action of external influences. The synthesis of the coefficients carried out on the example of a second-order dynamic system is also given. This method makes it possible to find the dependences of these coefficients on the initial coordinates of the dynamic system, as well as to synthesize a functional converter whose influence in the feedback loops optimizes the given system

Published: October 2023

The paper considers a method of increasing the energy efficiency of the traction power consumption during operation of a non-autonomous electric rolling stock equipped with an onboard energy storage. The idea is to use the onboard energy storage of the electric braking as an additional power source for the traction electric drive in the process of vehicle acceleration and to coordinate its work with the power supply system. This not only ensures the independence of the processes of electric power consumption and kinetic energy recovery by the traction equipment, but also reduces losses in the elements of traction and external power supply systems. To confirm the effectiveness of the proposed method, we simulated the operation of a metro train with asynchronous traction electric drive in combination with the proposed system. The results obtained, in this case, demonstrated a reduction of energy losses in the elements of the traction power supply system during the electric train acceleration by 45 % compared with the losses when using a regular traction drive system. Attention is paid to the factors and their characteristics that exert significant influence on the traction and electric braking processes.
Buckling of Rectangular Plates under Nonlinear Creep
Authors: Yazyev S. B. , Chepurnenko A. S.
Published: October 2023

Introduction. The task of analyzing the stability of plates and shells under creep conditions is critical for structural elements made of materials with the property of aging, which are under the action of long-term loads, since the loss of stability can occur abruptly and long before the exhaustion of the strength resource of the material. Currently, the issues of joint consideration of geometric nonlinearity and creep in the problems of buckling plates remain poorly studied, existing software systems do not provide such calculations. The objective of this work is to develop an algorithm for calculating the stability of rectangular plates with initial deflection, which are subjected to loads in the middle plane, taking into account geometric nonlinearity and creep.

Materials and Methods. When obtaining the resolving equations, the geometric and static equations of the theory of flexible elastic plates were taken as the basis. Physical equations were derived from the assumption that total strains were equal to the sum of elastic strains and creep deformations. Finally, the problem was reduced to a system of two differential equations, in which the desired functions were the stress and deflection functions. The resulting system of equations was solved numerically using the finite-difference method in combination with the method of successive approximations and the Euler method. As the boundary conditions for the stress function, the frame analogy was used, as in the case of a plane problem of elasticity theory.

Results. The solution to the problem for a plate compressed in one direction by a uniformly distributed load has been presented. The nature of the growth of displacements at different load rates and initial deflection was studied. It has been established that when the vertical displacements reach values comparable to the thickness of the plate, their growth rate begins to decay even at a load greater than the long-term critical one.

Discussion and Conclusion. The results of stability analysis using the developed algorithm show that the growth of plate deflection under the considered boundary conditions is limited, stability loss is not observed at any load values not exceeding the instantaneous critical one. This indicates the possibility of long-term safe operation of such structures with a load less than instant critical one.

Published: October 2023

This study examined the long-term effects of applying structure lime (mixture of ~80% CaCO3 and 20% Ca(OH)2) and ground limestone (CaCO3) on soil aggregate stability and risk of phosphorus (P) losses 5–7 years after liming, incidence of soil-borne diseases and yield in winter wheat (Tritium aestivum), oilseed rape (Brassica napus) and sugar beet (Beta vulgaris). Lime was applied in 13 field trials in Sweden 2013–2015 and soil characteristics and crop yield were monitored until 2021. Seedbed (0–4 cm depth) aggregate (2–5 mm size) stability was improved to the same extent with both lime treatments compared to the untreated control, sampled 5–7 years after liming. Analyses and estimations of different P fractions (total P, PO4-P, and particulate P) in leachate following simulated rainfall events on undisturbed topsoil cores sampled 6–8 years after liming revealed lower total P and particulate P concentrations in both lime treatments compared to the untreated control. Two sugar beet trial sites with soil pH ≤7.2 before liming showed an increase in sugar yield for structure lime and ground limestone as an effect of increased concentration of soil potassium (K-AL) and/or lower Aphanomyces root rot potential compared to the untreated control. The yield of winter wheat was not affected by the application of either type of lime at sites with pH >7.2 but the yield of oilseed rape decreased after the application of structure lime.

"In this paper, we study the existence of solutions of a nonlocal Cauchy problem for nonlinear fractional integro-differential equations involving generalized Katugampola fractional derivative. By using fixed point theorems, the results are obtained in weighted space of continuous functions. In the last, results are illustrated with suitable examples."
HIZYA DE MAÏSSA BEY : LECTURES BOVARYQUES DE LA SOCIÉTÉ ALGÉRIENNE
Authors: JIȘA Simona
Published: October 2023

Hizya by Maïssa Bey: Bovaristic Readings of Algerian Society. The novel Hizya by Maïssa Bey, published in 2015, allows us to revisit the theme of Bovarism. In this article we aim to investigate the causes and forms that would justify the use of this term by the female and male characters of this novel, who live in an Algerian society whose landmarks are ancestral. Analyses according to the Bovaristic grid (Gaultier) lead us to highlight the discrepancy between exterior and interior, real and literary imagination, individual and family, individual and society. Different forms of bovarism are investigated: literary, which will allow us to study the relationship between the hypotext of the Algerian poet Mohamed Ben Guittoun (where the eponymous heroine lives a love story suspended by death) and the hypertext in prose by Maïssa Bey (where the young woman investigates possible or impossible love); sentimental, based on the gap between love (desire and pleasure) and freedom or conformity (to archaic rules); social, which will consider the relationship between love-marriage-family-society; history, which will draw a parallel between the ideals of the Independence with the disappointing decades that followed it. By extrapolating the Flaubertian concept, we wanted to design a tool capable of seeing both the complexity of characters and situations, as well as textual and ideational coherence.
REZUMAT. Hizya de Maïssa Bey: lecturi bovarice ale societății algeriene. Romanul Hizya de Maïssa Bey, publicat în 2015, ne permite să revizităm tema bovarismului. În acest articol ne propunem să investigăm cauzele și formele care ar justifica folosirea acestui termen de către personajele feminine și masculine ale acestui roman, care trăiesc într-o societate algeriană ale cărei repere sunt ancestrale. Analizele după grila bovarică (Gaultier) ne conduc la evidențierea discrepanței dintre exterior și interior, real și imaginar literar, individ și familie, individ și societate. Sunt investigate diferite forme de bovarism: literar, care ne va permite să studiem relația dintre hipotextul poetului algerian Mohamed Ben Guittoun (unde eroina omonimă trăiește o poveste de dragoste suspendată de moarte) și hipertextul în proză de Maïssa Bey (unde tânăra investighează iubirea posibilă sau imposibilă); sentimental, bazat pe decalajul dintre dragoste (dorință și plăcere) și libertate sau conformare (la reguli arhaice); social, care va avea în vedere relația dintre dragoste-căsătorie-familie-societate; istoric, care va pune în paralel idealurile Independenței cu deceniile dezamăgitoare care i-au urmat. Prin extrapolarea conceptului flaubertian, am dorit să proiectăm un instrument capabil să țină seama atât de complexitatea personajelor și a situațiilor, cât și de coerența textuală și ideatică.

(RE)CONSTRUCTING THE SELF IN WOMEN’S AUTOFICTION: THE CASE OF SAȘA ZARE’S DEZRĂDĂCINARE
Authors: TITE Alisa Ștefania
Published: October 2023

(Re)constructing the Self in Women’s Autofiction: The Case of Sașa Zare’s Dezrădăcinare. This paper aims to examine the (re)construction of the female subject in contemporary autobiographical fiction by looking into Sașa Zare’s debut novel, Dezrădăcinare. Drawing on feminist and postfeminist theory as well as research on self-writing centred on women’s inscription of personhood in their works, this study attempts to investigate the relationship between the narrator and the narrated self, focusing on the negotiated distance between the two fictional constructs. This analysis will build on concepts such as metatextuality, autotheory, performativity, and on Lacanian and post-Lacanian feminist means of understanding the self as a product of societal and cultural discourse (as opposed to the idea of a unified self), by centring on the narrative techniques that show the narrator’s perception of herself, and struggle to represent different parts of her identity (the writer, the daughter, the girlfriend, the student and the therapy patient). As language plays an important part in rendering the feminine subject’s fragmented vision of her identity, this paper will highlight the role of personal and societal narratives in constructing an idea of the self. 
REZUMAT. (Re)construcția sinelui în autoficțiunea feminină: cazul roma­nului Dezrădăcinare de Sașa Zare. Această lucrare își propune o analiză a (re)construcției subiectului feminin în literatura contemporană de factură autobiografică, aplecându-se asupra romanului de debut al autoarei Sașa Zare, “Dezrădăcinare”. Pornind de la teorii feministe și postfeministe, precum și de la studii concentrate asupra inscripționării subiectului feminin în literatură, acest eseu va încerca să examineze relația dintre naratoare și sinele narat, accentul fiind plasat asupra distanței dintre cele două constructe ficționale. Studiul de caz propus pornește de la noțiuni precum metatextualitate, autoteorie, performativitate, dar și de la o paradigma feministă și postfeministă care valorizează tradiția psihanalitică (în special cea lacaniană și post-lacaniană). O astfel de poziționare critică deschide lucrarea spre o înțelegere a subiectul drept produs al practicilor discursive socio-culturale (perspectivă poziționată în opoziția tradiției care postulează unitatea absolută a sinelui). Analiza se va axa pe dificultatea naratoarei de a unifica diferite părți ale identității sale prin scris (autoarea, fiica, iubita, pacienta), subiectul feminin oferind o percepție fragmentată asupra propriului sine. Un rol important în redarea acestei viziuni este îndeplinit de către limbaj, motiv pentru care lucrarea de față va sublinia contribuția narațiunilor personale și societale în procesul formării sinelui ficțional.
