Análisis del comportamiento de un amortiguador de masa sintonizado considerando incertidumbre en los parámetros del sistema para excitaciones sísmicas de alto contenido de frecuencias
Authors: Espinoza Gilda , Suazo-Schwencke Álvaro , Ulloa Paulina
Published: December 2024

Se investiga la eficiencia de un amortiguador de masa sintonizado al controlar un sistema de un grado de libertad, cuando a la razón de masa del AMS y el periodo traslacional desacoplado de la estructura se les incluye incertidumbres de 5, 10 y 20%, en el sentido positivo y negativo con respecto al caso sin incertidumbre. La excitación y el análisis son de tipo estocástico y de alto contenido de frecuencias. Para la inclusión de la incertidumbre se utiliza una expansión en serie de Taylor que considera sólo la aproximación de primer orden. El rango de razones de masa del AMS van desde 0.02 a 0.05, los periodos de la estructura abarcan un rango desde 1.5 a 2.0 s. Los resultados muestran que la inclusión de incertidumbre en la razón de masa y el periodo de la estructura muestra una influencia en los valores de los parámetros óptimos y en la eficiencia del AMS en la reducción de la desviación estándar de desplazamiento de la estructura. Las incertidumbres en los parámetros del sistema tienen una influencia notable y no pueden ser ignoradas. La inclusión de incertidumbre en el periodo de la estructura muestra las mayores variaciones en los parámetros óptimos y reducciones, en especial para razones de masa grandes y estructuras rígidas.

Authors: Mercado Lisset , Facelli Patrick
Published: December 2024

Construction organisations are now focusing on ensuring that project managers acquire the core competencies they require to be successful in their assignments. An organisation can maximise its probabilities of consistent project success by recruiting, developing, nurturing and retaining skilled project managers. Working closely with a range of other professionals, project managers organise, plan, schedule and control work and are responsible for ensuring that the project is completed within established time and cost constraints. To manage the project professionally and successfully, a project manager must possess the necessary skills and knowledge. An extensive evaluation on the essential and relevant skills of project managers was carried out in order to analyse the most important skills. The past few decades have produced a number of investigations into the correlation between project managers’ competencies and project success. As a result, competencies lists have become too extensive, and the field is in constantchange; therefore, this study updates the discussion and downsizes the number of competencies to fewer, more relevant items. Communication capabilities are a necessity for a project manager to be as effective as possible. The ability to lead the team, solve problems and handle conflicts, while being result-oriented and team-oriented, are a must for project managers. To achieve project goals, a project manager needs a range of additional skills, including organisation, emotional intelligence, technical expertise and interpersonal relationship skills.

Authors: Jin Hui , Ma Huaiyu , Wu Jie , Wu Ruizhe , Xu Haoran , Chen Weixing , Li Linghui , Zeng Jingqi , Wang Fan
Published: December 2024

Objective:

The Qing’e Pill (QEP) is widely used to alleviate low back pain and sciatica
caused by Intervertebral Disc Degeneration (IDD). However, its active components, key targets,
and molecular mechanisms are not fully understood. The aim of this study is to elucidate the
molecular mechanisms through which the QEP improves IDD using database mining techniques.

Methods:

Active components and candidate targets of the QEP were identified using the Traditional
Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology Database and Analysis Platform and the Bioinformatics
Analysis Tool for Molecular Mechanisms of Traditional Chinese Medicine. IDD-related targets
were obtained from the GeneCards database, and liver- and kidney-specific genes were retrieved
from the BioGPS database. The intersection of these candidate targets was analyzed to
identify potential targets for the QEP in IDD. A protein-protein interaction network analysis was
performed using STRING and Cytoscape 3.7.2 software. Core targets were further analyzed
through Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment
analyses. Molecular docking was used to assess the binding affinity of active components to
candidate targets, and animal experiments were conducted for validation.

Results:

We identified 65 potentially active components of the QEP that corresponded to 1,093
candidate targets, 2,108 IDD-related targets, and 1,113 liver- and kidney-specific genes. Key components
included quercetin, berberine, isorhamnetin, and emodin. The primary candidate targets
were Wnt5A, CTNNB1, IL-1β, MAPK14, MMP9, and MMP3. The GO and KEGG analyses revealed
the involvement of these targets in Wnt signaling, TNF signaling, Wnt receptor activation,
Frizzled binding, and Wnt-protein interactions. Molecular docking showed strong binding between
these components and their targets. Animal experiments demonstrated that the QEP treatment
significantly reduced the expression of Wnt5A, CTNNB1, IL-1β, MAPK14, MMP9, and
MMP3 at high, medium, and low doses compared with the model group.

Conclusion:

The QEP alleviated IDD by modulating the Wnt/MAPK/MMP signaling pathways
and reducing the release and activation of key factors.

Authors: Bajpai Aishwarya , Wal Pranay , Srivastava Ashish , Yadav Anil K. , Srivastava Ateet
Published: December 2024

Plants have been a source of medicinal phytoconstituents since ancient times and the
knowledge has passed through generations of medicinal use. Medicinal plants contain not one but
an amalgamation of various Phyto-derived moieties that are therapeutically active. One such plant
that has come into light for its various employabilities is Albizia lebbeck, more commonly known
as Siris. It is mainly grown in the Indian subcontinent and nearby countries such as Myanmar, Sri
Lanka, and eastern Pakistan. Various studies investigating the dynamics of siris have reported
therapeutic actions such as anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, antioxidant, neuroprotective, anti-diarrheal
activity, and anti-diabetic activity. These activities can be attributed to various Phytochemicals
such as alkaloids, flavonoids, terpenes, and saponins. However, apart from these wellreported
actions, multiple other therapeutic uses are currently under investigation such as antihyperlipidaemic.
In this review, we presented its different types of therapeutic uses, its various
Phyto constituents, and its botanical classification.

Published: December 2024

The Retinoid X Receptor (RXR) is a member of the nuclear receptor superfamily and
regulates gene transcription as well as diverse cellular processes like metabolism, inflammation,
and cell differentiation. As an attractive therapeutic target, RXR inhibitors have garnered attention
for their potential in alleviating chronic diseases. RXR inhibitors have the potential to modulate inflammation
and immune responses and manage diseases like rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory
diseases, metabolic disorders such as diabetes and dyslipidemia, cancer progression, solid tumors,
and hematologic malignancies. Understanding the molecular mechanisms behind their therapeutic
effects is crucial for optimizing their use in different disease contexts. While RXR inhibitors hold
promise, some challenges and questions necessitate further research. Future directions include
refining the understanding of specific pathways affected by RXR inhibition and addressing potential
side effects along with tailoring treatment approaches based on individual patient characteristics,
as this would improve outcomes. Exploring the potential synergies of RXR inhibitors with
other therapeutic agents could enhance their efficacy and broaden their applicability.

Authors: Kaur Jatinder , Gupta Srijan
Published: December 2024

In the contemporary landscape, the management of employees within
organizations has transformed into a collaborative endeavor. The responsibility for
managing personnel and evaluating their performance has moved to online platforms,
made possible by the integration of HR analytic tools in light of changing company
dynamics and technological advancement. The strategic use of HR analytics (HRA) has
been shown to be essential for improving employee performance and increasing
operational effectiveness. Noteworthy improvements have been witnessed in critical
areas such as recruitment quality, talent management, employee productivity, and the
reduction of employee turnover.
The focal point of this research centers on an in-depth exploration of HR analytics,
encompassing its multifaceted tools and their diverse applications across distinct
organizational contexts. The main goal is to identify the numerous advantages of the
wise application of HRA. Through the lens of logical tools, organizations gain the
acumen to identify and address pertinent issues, including performance disparities,
employee attrition, retention challenges, and nuanced employee behaviors, leveraging
the troves of data inherent within the organizational framework.This study has been instigated in response to the prevalent underestimation of HR's
potential within numerous organizations. Despite this underestimation, the modern
technological milieu has borne an array of analytical tools, which have garnered
considerable adoption by major corporate entities. Within the confines of this paper, we
delve into the illustrative cases of HR analytics implementation across five diverse
organizations. Through empirical analysis, we discern how the strategic incorporation
of HR analytics has yielded tangible benefits both for the organizations and their
workforce, often resulting in transformative shifts towards a more people-centric

Published: December 2024

Zatajivanje srca klinički je sindrom koji obuhvaća simptome i znakove nastale uslijed porasta intrakardijalnih tlakova ili smanjenog minutnog volumena, što je uzrokovano strukturnim i/ili funkcionalnim abnormalnostima srca. Akutno zatajivanje srca (AZS) životno je ugrožavajuće stanje koje zahtijeva žurno zbrinjavanje u hitnoj medicinskoj službi, odnosno neplaniranu hospitalizaciju. Očituje se kroz četiri glavne kliničke prezentacije koje se često preklapaju, a to su akutno dekompenzirano srčano popuštanje, akutni plućni edem, kardiogeni šok i izolirano desnostrano srčano zatajenje. Dijagnoza AZS-a postavlja se prvenstveno na osnovi kliničkih znakova i simptoma te se potvrđuje odgovarajućim dijagnostičkim pretragama. Zbrinjavanje u okviru hitne medicinske službe sastoji se od istovremene kliničke procjene, nužne dijagnostičke obrade i primjene ciljane terapije. Ovisno o stanju bolesnika liječenje uključuje oksigenoterapiju te najčešće primjenu neinvazivnih ventilacijskih modaliteta, dok osnovna farmakološka terapija najčešće obuhvaća primjenu intravenskih diuretika i vazodilatatora, ovisno o vrijednostima arterijskog tlaka i stupnju kongestije. Rana intravenska primjena diuretika Henleove petlje temelj je liječenja AZS-a. Inotropi se primjenjuju za hemodinamsku stabilizaciju bolesnika s niskim minutnim volumenom srca te hipotenzijom. Napredno liječenje AZS-a u slučajevima AZS-a refrakternog na konzervativnu terapiju najčešće uključuje primjenu modaliteta mehaničke cirkulatorne potpore.

Akutni abdomen podrazumijeva skup različitih kliničkih stanja koja zbog svoje ozbiljnosti i nepredvidljivog tijeka bolesti vrlo često iziskuju neodložne dijagnostičke i terapijske postupke uključujući i hitan operacijski zahvat. Zbog svoje složenosti, usprkos brojnim dijagnostičkim mogućnostima, još uvijek predstavlja jednu od najčešćih dilema u hitnoj medicinskoj službi. Glavno je obilježje akutnog abdomena bol te se procjenjuje da je 5 - 10 % svih posjeta hitnoj medicinskoj službi povezano s akutnom boli u trbuhu, što ga čini jednim od najčešćih razloga dolaska bolesnika liječniku. Budući da se pristup bolesnicima s akutnom boli u trbuhu razlikuje i uglavnom ovisi o stavovima liječnika, cilj ovih smjernica je stvoriti standardiziran pristup koji će omogućiti brže postavljanje dijagnoze, optimizaciju terapije i poboljšanje kvalitete skrbi u hitnoj medicinskoj službi za navedene bolesnike. Smjernice su nastale kao rezultat suradnje članova Hrvatskog društva za hitnu medicinu Hrvatskog liječničkog zbora i Hrvatskog društva za digestivnu kirurgiju Hrvatskog liječničkog zbora.
Faculty Perceptions on the Roles of Mentoring, Advising, and Coaching in an Anesthesiology Residency Program: Mixed Methods Study
Authors: Nykiel-Bailey Sydney , Burrows Kathryn , Szafarowicz Bianca E , Moquin Rachel
Published: December 2024

Background

Mentoring, advising, and coaching are essential components of resident education and professional development. Despite their importance, there is limited literature exploring how anesthesiology faculty perceive these practices and their role in supporting residents.

Objective

This study aims to investigate anesthesiology faculty perspectives on the significance, implantation strategies, and challenges associated with mentorship, advising, and coaching in resident education.

Methods

A comprehensive survey was administrated to 93 anesthesiology faculty members at Washington University School of Medicine. The survey incorporated quantitative Likert-scale questions and qualitative short-answer responses to assess faculty perceptions of the value, preferred formats, essential skills, and capacity for fulfilling multiple roles in these support practices. Additional areas of focus included the impact of staffing shortages, training requirements, and the potential of these practices to enhance faculty recruitment and retention.

Results

The response rate was 44% (n=41). Mentoring was identified as the most important aspect, with 88% (n=36) of faculty respondents indicating its significance, followed by coaching, which was highlighted by 78% (n=32) of respondents. The majority felt 1 faculty member can effectively hold multiple roles for a given trainee. The respondents desired additional training for roles and found roles to be rewarding. All roles were seen as facilitating recruitment and retention. Barriers included faculty burnout; confusion between roles; time constraints; and desire for specialized training, especially in coaching skills.

Conclusions

Implementing structured mentoring, advising, and coaching can profoundly impact resident education but requires role clarity, protected time, culture change, leadership buy-in, and faculty development. Targeted training and operational investments could enable programs to actualize immense benefits from high-quality resident support modalities. Respondents emphasized that resident needs evolve over time, necessitating flexibility in appropriate faculty guidance. While coaching demands unique skills, advising hinges on expertise and mentoring depends on relationship-building. Systematic frameworks of coaching, mentoring, and advising programs could unlock immense potential. However, realizing this vision demands surmounting barriers such as burnout, productivity pressures, confusion about logistics, and culture change. Ultimately, prioritizing resident support through high-quality personalized guidance can recenter graduate medical education.

Published: December 2024

Background

Many members of Black American communities, faced with the high prevalence of Alzheimer disease and related dementias (ADRD) within their demographic, find themselves taking on the role of informal caregivers. Despite being the primary individuals responsible for the care of individuals with ADRD, these caregivers often lack sufficient knowledge about ADRD-related health literacy and feel ill-prepared for their caregiving responsibilities. Generative AI has become a new promising technological innovation in the health care domain, particularly for improving health literacy; however, some generative AI developments might lead to increased bias and potential harm toward Black American communities. Therefore, rigorous development of generative AI tools to support the Black American community is needed.

Objective

The goal of this study is to test Lola, a multimodal mobile app, which, by relying on generative AI, facilitates access to ADRD-related health information by enabling speech and text as inputs and providing auditory, textual, and visual outputs.

Methods

To test our mobile app, we used the cognitive walk-through methodology, and we recruited 15 informal ADRD caregivers who were older than 50 years and part of the Black American community living within the region. We asked them to perform 3 tasks on the mobile app (ie, searching for an article on brain health, searching for local events, and finally, searching for opportunities to participate in scientific research in their area), then we recorded their opinions and impressions. The main aspects to be evaluated were the mobile app’s usability, accessibility, cultural relevance, and adoption.

Results

Our findings highlight the users’ need for a system that enables interaction with different modalities, the need for a system that can provide personalized and culturally and contextually relevant information, and the role of community and physical spaces in increasing the use of Lola.

Conclusions

Our study shows that, when designing for Black American older adults, a multimodal interaction with the generative AI system can allow individuals to choose their own interaction way and style based upon their interaction preferences and external constraints. This flexibility of interaction modes can guarantee an inclusive and engaging generative AI experience.

Published: December 2024

Background

This review explores the potential of virtual reality (VR) and artificial intelligence (AI) to identify preclinical cognitive markers of Alzheimer disease (AD). By synthesizing recent studies, it aims to advance early diagnostic methods to detect AD before significant symptoms occur.

Objective

Research emphasizes the significance of early detection in AD during the preclinical phase, which does not involve cognitive impairment but nevertheless requires reliable biomarkers. Current biomarkers face challenges, prompting the exploration of cognitive behavior indicators beyond episodic memory.

Methods

Using PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines, we searched Scopus, PubMed, and Google Scholar for studies on neuropsychiatric disorders utilizing conversational data.

Results

Following an analysis of 38 selected articles, we highlight verbal episodic memory as a sensitive preclinical AD marker, with supporting evidence from neuroimaging and genetic profiling. Executive functions precede memory decline, while processing speed is a significant correlate. The potential of VR remains underexplored, and AI algorithms offer a multidimensional approach to early neurocognitive disorder diagnosis.

Conclusions

Emerging technologies like VR and AI show promise for preclinical diagnostics, but thorough validation and regulation for clinical safety and efficacy are necessary. Continued technological advancements are expected to enhance early detection and management of AD.

Binayak Bandyopadhyay’s Sambhabami (A Collection of Bengali Poems): A Postmodern Appraisal
Authors: Ghosh Ayan Kanti
Published: December 2024

Postmodern literature is considered as a special approach of literature keeping in mind its ideological and stylistic features. As a genre of literature it is not confined within any boundary. Rather it is suggestive of “Zero-boundary”. ‘Postmodern’ is not a time zone or it does signify any particular time. But the postmodern school appeared before us with the intensity of discussion in the decade of 80s of Twentieth Century considering a radical change in sociological perspective. After Second world War the term ‘postmodern’ was applied on several subjects such as literature, art, architect, sociology, philosophy, film, communication and so on. Though it is said that postmodern is not sequel of modern, yet we cannot ignore the concepts of modern while discussing postmodern. In literature the features regarded as postmodern often were applied and are being still applied in poetry. Bengali poetry does not strictly follow the features of European postmodern aspects. It contains its own stylistics devices in reflecting postmodern swing. Binayak Bandyapadhyay, a poet belongs to the “Shunya Dashak” of Bengali poetry is very much experimental in creative his outputs. His anthology namely “Sambhabami”, published from Signet Press is genuinely regarded as a postmodern discourse of the “Srimad Bhagvad Gita”. In this article I intend to mark the postmodern ethos found in the said anthology of Binayak Bandyapadhyay.

A Review on UPI Fraud Detection using Machine Learning and Deep Learning
Authors: N Mrs. Sridevi
Published: December 2024

In today's digital era, nearly all business transactions are conducted online. While online transactions offer numerous
advantages such as convenience, faster payments, and ease of access, they also come with significant risks, including fraud,
phishing attacks, and data breaches. The growing volume of internet-based transactions has heightened concerns about
unethical practices and threats to personal privacy.For instance, cybercriminals may gain unauthorized access to an individual's
account and transfer funds illicitly.
To mitigate potential financial losses, it is crucial to enhance existing machine learning methodologies. A robust, featureengineered machine learning model, leveraging algorithms like Random Forest and Gradient Boosting, can improve
performance, enhance stability, and become more effective by analysing extensive datasets. Moreover, understanding the costs
and risks associated with various payment systems is critical for systematically and efficiently combating fraud.
We propose three models: a risk assessment model to predict and counter fraud risks, a machine learning-basedfraud detection
system, and an economic optimization framework for refining machine learning outcomes. These models are validated using
real-world data to ensure their reliability and applicability.
Design of Malicious Hardware Trojans in AES Crypto system
Authors: Marri Sai Kumar
Published: December 2024

Hardware Trojans pose a significant threat to the security and integrity of cryptographic systems, particularly in
Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) implementations, which are widely used in securing sensitive data. These malicious
modifications to integrated circuits (ICs) can compromise the confidentiality and reliability of AES cryptographic operations by
introducing covert backdoors, information leakage channels, or functional disruptions. Hardware Trojans are typically designed
to evade detection during design-time validation and post-manufacturing testing, often activating only under specific triggers
such as rare input patterns or environmental conditions.
In AES systems, Trojans can manipulate the encryption process by leaking secret keys through side-channel information such as
power consumption, timing variations, or electromagnetic emissions. Some Trojans directly alter the encryption algorithm,
weakening the cryptographic strength and rendering encrypted data vulnerable to attacks. Attackers may also embed Trojans at
the Register Transfer Level (RTL) or gate-level design, leveraging the inherent complexity of AES circuits to conceal their
presence.
Detection and mitigation of hardware Trojans in AES implementations are challenging due to their stealthy nature. Techniques
such as side-channel analysis, functional verification, and static code analysis have been developed, but sophisticated Trojans
often bypass these methods. Advanced countermeasures include runtime monitoring, hardware obfuscation, and Trojan-resilient
design methodologies.
This paper explores the implications of hardware Trojans in AES cryptographic systems, analysing their design, potential attack
vectors, and impacts on data security. Furthermore, it discusses state-of-the-art detection and prevention techniques,
highlighting gaps and future research directions. Given the critical role of AES in securing financial, military, and consumer
data, addressing the hardware Trojan threat is paramount to ensuring trust in cryptographic hardware and safeguarding against
adversarial exploitation.
A FLUIDEZ DOS DIREITOS HUMANOS PARA O BRASIL E A SUA INSERÇÃO NA ORDEM ECONÔMICA INTERNACIONAL
Authors: Baltar Rafael
Published: December 2024

O artigo analisa a história da relação do Brasil com o sistema internacional de direitos humanos, desde a elaboração dos Pactos de 1966 até sua ratificação pelo país em 1992. Ele busca demonstrar que, mais do que se manifestar favorável ou contrariamente, o Brasil adotou posições variadas ante os direitos humanos, assumindo uma retórica fluida, que se modificou ininterruptamente, e que expressou diferentes concepções sobre eles, ora enfatizando um direito ou conjunto de direitos, ora outro, ora demandando a criação de novos direitos. Argumenta-se que, longe de motivações éticas e morais, essa relação dinâmica com os direitos humanos refletiu os esforços dos sucessivos governos do país para assegurar uma inserção na ordem econômica internacional favorável à realização dos seus objetivos de desenvolvimento, e que as posições adotadas foram moldadas pela busca para estabelecer alianças comerciais consideradas estratégicas. Argumenta-se, assim, que a inserção do Brasil na ordem comercial é um fator-chave para se compreender a história da sua relação com os direitos humanos. O artigo possui uma abordagem dialética e um procedimento histórico e empírico, baseando-se em estudos críticos do direito internacional e materiais bibliográficos sobre a política externa brasileira, relatórios de órgãos governamentais e discursos de representantes do Brasil.

Os Direitos Humanos Internacionais, que em 1948 receberam extensividade universal, nestas mesmas proporções deslocam sua força prática vinculativa da paz necessária entre as nações, não alcançando efetivamente os fins aos quais se propõem. Para justificar esta lacuna operacional que afasta os povos das nações de sua dignidade de direitos, utiliza-se neste estudo teórico como método de abordagem o hipotético-dedutivo, como método de procedimento o monográfico e como técnica de pesquisa a revisão bibliográfica, o que possibilita identificar a existência de uma tensão constante por entre Estados internacionalizados que reflexiona crises humanitárias em evolução. Em necessitando-se de ações competentes a amenizar os resquícios desta hegemonia global, investiga-se de que forma o conceito de paz híbrida no cenário internacional poderia incluir novos atores na resolução de conflitos não permissivos da paz. Operações glocais que buscam diplomaticamente colocar em vigor ações não somente governamentais, mas, sobretudo, advindas da sociedade civil demonstram-se possibilidades resolutivas capazes de irem ao encontro de uma política global dedicada à peacebuilding.
O ESTADO, DIREITOS HUMANOS E FUNDAMENTAIS E O ACESSO À JUSTIÇA
Authors: Caldas Jacqueline Augusta de Lucena
Published: December 2024

O acesso à justiça é um direito humano fundamental que enfrenta dificuldades para sua concretização ao longo da história. O presente trabalho busca analisar a formação do Estado moderno e a constituição do paradigma do monopólio estatal para chegar até a releitura contextualizada do acesso à justiça e os sentidos possíveis de um direito ao acesso efetivo à solução de conflitos. Cuida-se de contextualizar o Estado cooperativo, o direito à ordem jurídica justa e o novo paradigma de acesso à justiça. A abordagem metodológica seguida por esta pesquisa utiliza-se do método dedutivo, método de abordagem que parte de premissas gerais para obter conclusões específicas.
CONTRIBUIÇÕES ACERCA DA PUNIÇÃO DOS CRIMES COMETIDOS DURANTE PERÍODOS DITATORIAIS: LIMITES E POSSIBILIDADES
Authors: Ribeiro Homero Bezerra
Published: December 2024

Esta pesquisa tem como objetivo traçar uma reflexão sobre a responsabilização penal das graves violações de direitos humanos cometidas durante períodos ditatoriais, como os que atravessaram vários países da América Latina no século passado. Para isso, busca-se, primeiramente, aproximar-se do conceito de justiça de transição e de como os autores desta área encaram a punição como um elemento central apto a buscar um ajuste de contas com o passado. Depois, buscamos analisar argumentos mais críticos a este tipo de responsabilização, tratando os vários problemas decorrentes da utilização da esfera criminal para buscar reparação das vítimas que sofreram abusos nas ditaduras. Por fim, defende-se uma responsabilização possível dentro de um modelo de estado de direito, sem, contudo, deixar de refletir sobre os problemas também decorrentes da intervenção desmedida do sistema criminal não somente sobre os autores de crimes atrozes do passado, mas também sobre os direitos e garantias da população como um todo.
O DIREITO HUMANO À TRADUÇÃO NO CONTEXTO DE VIOLÊNCIA DOMÉSTICA
Authors: Beltrão Taciana Cahú , Decaudin Sylvie Monjean
Published: December 2024

O presente visa primeiramente abordar, de maneira introdutória, o direito à tradução no âmbito da Lei Maria da Penha – Lei 11.340/2006. A título exemplificado, examina-se a situação das mulheres migrantes e indígenas residentes na região da Grande Dourados no Mato Grosso do Sul. Muitas destas mulheres foram vítimas de violência doméstica e, por não falarem a lingua oficial do processo judicial brasileiro, foram privadas do acesso à Justiça. A reflexão será pautada numa análise comparada da realidade brasileira com as Diretivas números 64/2010/UE e 2012/29/EU da União europeia.
OS PROTOCOLOS COMUNITÁRIOS DE CONSULTA EM TERRITÓRIOS QUILOMBOLAS: INSTRUMENTOS DE AUTOGESTÃO COLABORATIVA E GOVERNANÇA
Authors: Pereira Jéferson da Silva
Published: December 2024

O presente trabalho tem como escopo analisar a importância do tema quilombos, protocolos e territórios. Tal tema visa contribuir com a academia e a sociedade, em especial com o povo Quilombola, que poderá se apropriar de seus resultados e utilizá-los como ferramenta para o fortalecimento de sua luta histórica como também o seu empoderamento sociopolítico e de gestão territorial. Ao pensar o presente trabalho, trago comigo um contexto imbricado na luta contínua das reconquistas dos direitos negados. Ao ser inserido nesse contexto, vivenciei situações de construções coletivas, onde tive papel atuante, desde o processo de reconhecimento da identidade quilombola, até as lutas institucionais para efetivar políticas públicas. No Território Quilombola Águas do Velho Chico, local que nasci e convivo cotidianamente, vivemos cercados pelo bioma caatinga, margeado pelo Rio São Francisco. Desta forma, nosso território desenvolveu múltiplas técnicas de desenvolvimento sustentável, que vão desde o convívio com o rio, com o “plantio de vazante”, como também a relação de sobrevivência com a caatinga em épocas de estiagem. As nossas comunidades Quilombolas que compõe o Território (Umburana, Vitorino, Remanso, Caatinguinha e Mata de São José), também convivem com constantes violações ao direito territorial. A partir desse cenário situa-se as reflexões presentes neste trabalho.
O DEBATE CLÁSSICO DO IMPERIALISMO COMO O PIONEIRO DAS RELAÇÕES INTERNACIONAIS
Authors: Osório Luiz Felipe
Published: December 2024

As Relações Internacionais estão cada vez mais presentes no cotidiano das pessoas. Após a globalização, não apenas os laços com a seara internacional se estreitaram, como também o próprio cenário externo se mostrou mais imerso em guerras, crises e conflitos. A ponto de se resgatar, inclusive, conceitos dados como ultrapassados, como o imperialismo, que, agora, ocupa posição central nas análises e debates. Logo, é preciso entender essa concepção. O contexto de surgimento dos debates do imperialismo é anterior aos marcos mais tradicionais que apontam a emergência das Relações Internacionais enquanto ciência ao final da Primeira Guerra Mundial. Nesse sentido, cabe aqui a busca por redimensionar as balizas do pioneirismo das discussões internacionais, demonstrando a centralidade dos cinco autores mais relevantes do imperialismo para as Relações Internacionais. Ou seja, a emergência do campo científico coincide com o florescimento do conceito. Por meio de uma revisão bibliográfica dos principais autores, valendo-se do método dedutivo, a partir de uma técnica qualitativa e exploratória de pesquisa, a interpretação desta pesquisa será conduzida pelas trilhas do materialismo histórico e dialético. O resultado esperado é ressaltar a importância e a imprescindibilidade do imperialismo para as relações internacionais, como a forma política do internacional na contemporaneidade.
A DEMOCRACIA SOBRE DECLIVES ESCORREGADIOS: UM ENSAIO SOBRE AS RAÍZES TEMPORAIS DA DESINFORMAÇÃO
Authors: Costa Junior Ernane Salles da , Morais Rane Ferreira Rios Hollanda Cavalcante de
Published: December 2024

O presente artigo examina a aceleração social na Modernidade tardia, conceito proposto por Hartmut Rosa, visando entender os desafios apresentados pela disseminação de desinformação sob pressões temporais intensas. Considerando que a interação entre a globalização neoliberal e a revolução digital têm dinamizado a pontos críticos as experiências individuais e sociais, verifica-se um crescente processo de aceleração que afeta significativamente a vida subjetiva e política, causando sobrecarga informacional e desalinhando o tempo democrático e constitucional com a imediatidade das notícias e com a percepção de se viver sobre declives escorregadios. O manejo das fake news exige que sejam vistas como sintomas de uma sobrecarga informacional, resultado de uma destemporalização acelerada, de forma que abordá-las meramente como fenômenos isolados da temporalidade social pode levar a esforços legais ineficazes. O texto argumenta pela necessidade de uma regulação que transcenda a resposta adaptativa, abordando as raízes socioeconômicas da desinformação por meio de reformas, incluindo controle estatal dos mercados financeiros e adequação das plataformas digitais às normas democráticas e constitucionais como forma de reestruturação da relação da sociedade com o tempo.
Female subjectivity and feminist practices in visual art of the second half of the twentieth century
Authors:   South Ural State Humanitarian Pedagogical University, Dyadyk Natalya
Published: December 2024

Introduction. The problem of the “female issue in art” is one of the most pressing today. “Gender art” or “female art” is one of the trends in modern art exhibitions. Thanks to art feminism, today women artists can fully demonstrate their talent, which arouses great interest in their work from the world art community. The purpose of the article is to identify specific stylistic features characteristic of “female subjectivity” and feminist practices in the art of the second half of the twentieth century. Methods: we used general scientific methods of analysis and synthesis, the phenomenological method, since we identify the existential intentions that underlie modern art. We also use the hermeneutic method as we uncover hidden meanings in the works of women artists. The scientific novelty lies in the fact that we identify and describe specific stylistic features characteristic of the work of women artists of the second half of the twentieth century, which has not been done before. Results. We conducted a philosophical and cultural analysis of the works of women artists: Berthe Morisot, Hannah Höch, Frida Kahlo, Alice Neel, Louise Bourgeois, Sarah Lucas, and identified common features characteristic of their work. We also conducted a philosophical and cultural analysis of art feminism as a phenomenon. Conclusions. Among the stylistic features that unite the work of women artists of the second half of the twentieth century, we have identified the following: appeal to purely female handicraft techniques (“fiber art”); the subject of art is the inner world of the artist’s own feelings and experiences; art is often considered as a kind of art therapy, a way to survive the traumas suffered; a female artist has more empathy for the model and her mental state than male artists; women artists are characterized by a rethinking of the attitude towards the body, an image of the body as unaestheticized, non-normative, unadorned, irony towards the body; for women artists, art often becomes a way to fight for their rights, gender and racial equality.
