Acceptance sampling plans for the three-parameter inverted Topp–Leone model
Authors: Nassr Said G. , Hassan Amal S. , Alsultan Rehab , El-Saeed Ahmed R.
Published: September 2022

The quadratic rank transmutation map is used in this article to suggest a novel extension of the power inverted Topp–Leone distribution. The newly generated distribution is known as the transmuted power inverted Topp–Leone (TPITL) distribution. The power inverted Topp–Leone and the inverted Topp–Leone are included in the recommended distribution as specific models. Aspects of the offered model, including the quantile function, moments and incomplete moments, stochastic ordering, and various uncertainty measures, are all discussed. Plans for acceptance sampling are created for the TPITL model with the assumption that the life test will end at a specific time. The median lifetime of the TPITL distribution with the chosen variables is the truncation time. The smallest sample size is required to obtain the stated life test under a certain consumer's risk. Five conventional estimation techniques, including maximum likelihood, least squares, weighted least squares, maximum product of spacing, and Cramer-von Mises, are used to assess the characteristics of TPITL distribution. A rigorous Monte Carlo simulation study is used to evaluate the effectiveness of these estimators. To determine how well the most recent model handled data modeling, we tested it on a range of datasets. The simulation results demonstrated that, in most cases, the maximum likelihood estimates had the smallest mean squared errors among all other estimates. In some cases, the Cramer-von Mises estimates performed better than others. Finally, we observed that precision measures decrease for all estimation techniques when the sample size increases, indicating that all estimation approaches are consistent. Through two real data analyses, the suggested model's validity and adaptability are contrasted with those of other models, including the power inverted Topp–Leone, log-normal, Weibull, generalized exponential, generalized inverse exponential, inverse Weibull, inverse gamma, and extended inverse exponential distributions.
Nativism and Nostalgia American Style
Authors: Foner Nancy
Published: September 2022

This article focuses on the content and role of nostalgia in contemporary nativism in the United States. One type of nostalgia is for so-called “better” European immigrants of the early 20th century. Another type is for a 1950s America, before the onset of large-scale post-1965 immigration as well as civil rights legislation, women’s liberation, gay empowerment, and other dramatic changes. A focus on nostalgia for a mid-twentieth century “golden age” can enrich the analysis of current-day nativism’s links to demographic change ushered in by mass immigration, its appeal to a particular segment of the American population, and its connections to political party mobilizations.
Sur l’articulation des attitudes populistes et nativistes en Europe et aux États-Unis
Authors: Ivaldi Gilles
Published: September 2022

L’importance du « nativisme » en Europe et aux États-Unis a été récemment soulignée par la recherche comparative. L’idée d’un tandem constitué par le populisme et le nativisme est centrale dans la réflexion sur le phénomène de droite radicale populiste. Cet article propose d’appréhender l’intersection du populisme et du nativisme sous l’angle des attitudes au sein des opinions publiques en Europe occidentale et aux États-Unis. A partir d’une enquête comparative originale, nos résultats montrent que l’articulation du populisme et du nativisme est particulièrement marquée en Allemagne ou en Italie, beaucoup plus faible en France et inexistante aux États-Unis où nativisme et populisme occupent à l’heure actuelle des espaces politiques distincts, le premier à droite, le second à gauche du spectre politique, et opèrent de manière indépendante dans la structuration des choix électoraux. Ces résultats nous invitent à nuancer l’idée d’un couple constitué par le populisme et le nativisme et nous renvoient à l’existence de différentes formes d’incarnation du populisme, dans des espaces politiques et idéologiques variés, où le nativisme ne trouve pas toujours nécessairement à s’exprimer.
Anthropologie, race et dilemmes autour de l’identité à l’ère de la génomique
Authors: Ventura Santos Ricardo , Chor Maio Marcos
Published: September 2022

Given its current preeminence, the “new genetics” serves as a source for creating identities among social and even national groups. Genetic narratives interact with historical and social narratives; what is extremely new (genomics) impacts, interacts with, and in many cases chafes against what is old (race and typologies). This article analyzes the debates among biologists, social scientists, social movements, and other actors regarding the interpretation of genetic data from studies conducted in Brazil. The findings and implications of this research (known as “Molecular Portrait of Brazil”) go beyond the academy, serving as a battleground that ranges from activists from Brazil’s black movement to even members of far-right European groups, for example. A contextualized analysis of these debates proves helpful in better understanding the complex interactions between anthropology, genetics, and society in today’s world.
Et vous pensiez que nous avions laissé tout cela derrière nous : la race biologique fait son retour dans les sciences sociales
Authors: Morning Ann
Published: September 2022

Récemment, certains sociologues ont soutenu dans des revues prestigieuses que les catégories raciales étaient liées à des clusters génétiquement distincts dans la population humaine. Ils proposent de théoriser la race en tant que système de catégorisation issu d’une construction sociale et lié à des groupes biologiques au sein de notre espèce. Leurs travaux ne relatent cependant pas dans quelle mesure les clusters génétiques statistiquement inférés relèvent eux-mêmes de constructions sociales, ce qui rend impossible toute juxtaposition entre des catégories sociales « subjectives » et des catégories biologiques « objectives ». Cet article encourage vivement les chercheurs en sciences sociales à garder une distance critique par rapport aux allégations concernant un quelconque fondement génétique aux races humaines et à apporter leur contribution aux débats actuels sur la notion de race.
La génomique et la diversité humaine
Authors: Jordan Bertrand
Published: September 2022

The sequencing of the human genome (2003) has been followed by a number of technical developments that allow detailed characterization (including complete sequencing) of the DNA of thousands of individuals. This has provided an estimate of human genetic diversity: approx. 3 million base substitutions within our genome that includes 3,000 million bases. Although the divergence between any two individuals is small, it is responsible for much of the phenotypic diversity observed within the human population, and current techniques make it possible to measure genetic distances between any two individuals whose genome has been analysed. When results from a large sample of persons are analysed by sophisticated multi-dimensional representation, fairly distinct clusters appear in the population, indicating groups of individuals that are more similar to each other than to persons from other groups. Although these groups are defined by genome analysis, without any a priori information on their origin, it turns out that they largely correspond to so-called “ethnic” categories that reflect genetic ancestry (e.g. Europeans, Africans and Asians). Every group is internally quite diverse, but analysis of thousands of genetic markers does indeed differentiate between them. “Race”, as commonly defined, is a very imperfect proxy for these ancestry groups, as it suggests high homogeneity within each group, implies assumptions about behaviour and “character” that have no scientific basis, and is heavily tainted by past uses in support of oppression and even genocide. Thus “ancestry” or “ancestry group” is a highly preferable term, especially now that more and more people are of mixed ancestry. These methods have been widely applied to current populations and to “ancient DNA” from historical samples, and have made possible great strides in understanding the history of our species.

Ethno-racial disparities in COVID-19 morbidity and mortality
Authors: Wang Simeng
Published: September 2022

The COVID-19 pandemic, by the nature of this crisis and its primarily sanitary, medical and biological management, offers an exceptional opportunity for observations on the scientific debates surrounding the notion of “race”, used and conceptualised at times as a biological reality, at others as a social construct. Based on a synthetic reading of a variety of scientific productions –in medicine, public health, epidemiology, and social sciences– discussing ethno-racial disparities in COVID-19 related morbidity and mortality, this article shows that these two models of interpretation –biological/genetic and socio-economic/socio-demographic– do not stand in opposition to each other: the relationships between race and identified risk factors in COVID-19 related morbidity and mortality, as recognised by researchers are often conjointly conditioned by both biological mechanisms and socio-economic factors. Furthermore, the intersectional approach –articulating various social relations of race, class, gender, age, disability, etc.– proves to be particularly fruitful in grasping the ethno-racial disparities in COVID-19 related morbidity and mortality.
(Re)Lire Contacts de civilisations en Martinique et en Guadeloupe, de Michel Leiris. Extraits de texte présentés par Jean-Luc Bonniol et Ary Gordien
Authors: Bonniol Jean-Luc , Gordien Ary
Published: September 2022

Michel Leiris publie en 1955 Contacts de civilisations en Martinique et en Guadeloupe sous l’égide de l’Unesco. Texte remarquable par la finesse et l’acuité de l’analyse face à des sociétés structurées historiquement par le critère racial, et par ses intuitions théoriques, fort en avance sur son temps, du moins pour la recherche française, dans le domaine des relations raciales. Fidèle à une orientation théorique marxiste, il s’efforce, tout au long du tableau qu’il dresse d’une structure socio-raciale complexe, de pointer les correspondances problématiques entre « races » et classes. Mais il va bien au-delà, dévoilant toutes les dimensions et les effets du critère racial de classement : évaluation phénotypique des individus, contrôle généalogique et gouvernance des alliances… Mettant en évidence un préjugé racial, matrice d’une racialisation inévitable des conflits sociaux, il le situe face au racisme stricto sensu, abordant même, de manière tout à la fois mesurée et critique, le problème d’un éventuel racisme « anti-blanc ». Les rapports entre métropolitains et originaires lui permettent de revisiter ce dernier cas de figure et d’évoquer in fine le problème, au mitan des années 1950, de la récente départementalisation et de l’avenir de ces territoires ultra-marins, tel qu’il pouvait alors le pressentir. Ces extraits de texte sont enfin mis en perspective par rapport aux avancées contemporaines de l’étude des phénomènes raciaux.
De l’entrée à l’école à l’entrée dans l’âge adulte des personnes avec une déficience intellectuelle en France : quelle prise en charge possible ?
Authors: Ibernon Laure , Cilia Federica
Published: September 2022

Dans la prise en charge des personnes avec une Déficience Intellectuelle (DI), une place centrale est accordée au diagnostic incluant une évaluation des compétences intellectuelles et adaptatives ainsi qu’à l’autodétermination. La présente étude vise à appréhender la prise en charge des personnes avec une DI de leur entrée en milieu scolaire jusqu’à la fin de leur scolarité et leur intégration en milieu professionnel. Pour cela, nous présentons une analyse des résultats obtenus à un questionnaire proposé aux familles de personnes avec une DI d’origine génétique (microdélétion 22q11, X Fragile, sclérose Tubéreuse de Bourneville, DI liée à l’X, syndrome d’Angelman) répartis en cinq groupes d’âges allant de la petite enfance à l’âge adulte.L’analyse des résultats révèle que les recommandations nationales et internationales, quant à la prise en charge de personnes avec une DI, ne sont pas suivies, et ce quel que soit l’âge. Les plaintes des familles concernent en particulier le manque d’information et de formation des personnels d’accompagnement ainsi qu’un manque de coordination entre les professionnels. Nous discutons d’une possible amélioration des formations des professionnels par la mise en place d’un livret médical partagé et d’un livret parcours de vie qui pourraient permettre d’adapter au mieux l’accompagnement des personnes avec DI tout en prenant en compte leur autodétermination.
Accompagner la préparation de la transition vers l’enseignement supérieur des adolescents présentant un trouble du spectre de l’autisme sans déficience intellectuelle : le rôle central de l’autodétermination
Authors: Perchec Cyrille , Lannegrand Lyda
Published: September 2022

Les adolescents avec un trouble du spectre de l’autisme (TSA) sans déficience intellectuelle sont plus à risque que d’autres jeunes au développement atypique de décrocher lors de la transition vers l’enseignement supérieur. Dans cet article, nous proposons une analyse écologique de la transition vers l’enseignement supérieur chez ces jeunes en référence au modèle théorique écosystémique de Bronfenbrenner. Nous soulignons le rôle central de l’autodétermination chez les jeunes avec un TSA lors de la préparation de la transition lycée-enseignement supérieur en rappelant le manque souvent constaté d’opportunités d’autodétermination qui leur sont offertes. Nous présentons un exemple de programme de planification de la transition qui vise à promouvoir l’autodétermination des jeunes dans la phase de préparation de la transition, avant de discuter des pistes de recherche qui devraient mobiliser les chercheurs dans les années à venir.
Soutenir le développement des compétences d’orientation d’élèves en situation de handicap : Illustration à partir d’une intervention inspirée du Life Design
Authors: Dangoisse Florence , Delhaise Maëlle , Besserer Pascale , Nils Frédéric
Published: September 2022

Les élèves en situation de handicap rencontrent différentes difficultés relatives à leur orientation scolaire et professionnelle. Une moindre autodétermination et estime de soi peut par exemple rendre la construction de leur projet professionnel ou vocationnel plus ardue. À cet égard, de nombreux auteurs suggèrent d’accompagner ces jeunes en se basant sur des approches centrées sur les forces. Parmi celles-ci, le life design est un paradigme particulièrement pertinent car il tient compte de la singularité de chaque parcours de vie et se concentre sur les ressources personnelles des bénéficiaires. Dans cet article, nous illustrerons à l’aide d’une intervention inspirée du life design, menée dans une classe d’élèves de 15 ans à 17 ans présentant des handicaps moteurs et des difficultés d’apprentissage, comment il est possible de soutenir le développement des compétences d’orientation d’élèves en situation de handicap.
La transition post-bac d’élèves de terminale en situation de handicap : étude par entretiens semi-directifs auprès d’élèves, de parents et de professionnel∙les d’Île-de-France
Authors: Toubhans Marie-Pierre
Published: September 2022

En France, la transition post-bac constitue l’aboutissement d’un processus d’orientation démarré dès la sixième avec le parcours Avenir. Cet article porte sur le droit à l’éducation et la scolarisation de lycéen·nes en situation de handicap de terminale bénéficiant d’un projet personnalisé de scolarisation (PPS). Des entretiens semi-directifs ont été menés auprès de trois élèves de terminale en situation de handicap, deux parents et huit professionnel∙les de l’éducation, de l’orientation et de l’accompagnement d’Île-de-France. La qualité de la scolarisation, le vécu scolaire et la participation des élèves, ainsi que le rôle des dispositifs, des acteurs et des actrices, des partenariats ont été analysés. À partir de trois axes, l’accessibilité des apprentissages et des examens, le processus d’orientation et la vie lycéenne, les résultats mettent en évidence des facteurs qui constituent des freins et des facilitateurs dans la transition post-bac.
De la construction du projet professionnel pour l’élève à la co-construction d’un parcours de formation avec et pour le jeune : cartographier son parcours
Authors: Midelet-Mahieu Julia
Published: September 2022

Dans le cadre de nos recherches, nous avons pu souligner que la construction d’un parcours de formation adapté pour les jeunes ayant des troubles des fonctions cognitives (TFC) et scolarisés avec l’appui d’un dispositif Ulis (Unité localisée pour l’inclusion scolaire) est marquée par des zones d’incertitudes par manque de dialogue entre les différents acteurs. Il s’ensuit la construction d’un parcours de formation relativement contraint et marqué par la non-participation du jeune et de sa famille.Prenant appui sur des récits biographiques pour rendre compte du parcours de formation du point de vue des jeunes et de leurs familles, la cartographie du parcours de formation s’inscrit comme un outil permettant de révéler la façon dont ces derniers appréhendent leur environnement et se projettent.Mobilisé par les professionnels mais aussi les jeunes et leurs familles, cet outil pourrait être l’occasion de créer un espace transitionnel, c’est-à-dire un temps d’échange et un outil permettant progressivement que les différentes expériences se relient, fassent sens.
La nature visionnaire des révélations du taoïsme Shangqing dans la Chine médiévale
Authors: Boutonnet Olivier
Published: September 2022

L’école taoïste de la Pureté supérieure, ou Shangqing, apparut au ive siècle sur le Maoshan, à la suite d’une série de révélations apportées à un jeune visionnaire du nom de Yang Xi. Différentes hypothèses ont été développées sur la nature des visions par lesquelles les enseignements lui furent dispensés : possession, médiumnisme ou phénomène onirique. Mais aucune de ces propositions ne rend véritablement compte de la nature visionnaire du phénomène. Cette étude tente de mieux définir les visions du Shangqing, notamment pour ce qui concerne les révélations, en proposant une typologie des visions théophaniques et évocatoires.
Short packet communication in underlay cognitive network assisted by an intelligent reflecting surface
Authors: Son Pham Ngoc , Duy Tran Trung , Tuan Pham Viet , Huynh Tan‐Phuoc
Published: September 2022

We propose short packet communication in an underlay cognitive radio network assisted by an intelligent reflecting surface (IRS) composed of multiple reconfigurable reflectors. This scheme, called the IRS protocol, operates in only one time slot (TS) using the IRS. The IRS adjusts its phases to give zero received cumulative phase at the secondary destination, thereby enhancing the end‐to‐end signal‐to‐noise ratio. The transmitting power of the secondary source is optimized to simultaneously satisfy the multi‐interference constraints, hardware limitations, and performance improvement. Simulation and analysis results of the average block error rates (BLERs) show that the performance can be enhanced by installing more reconfigurable reflectors, increasing the blocklength, lowering the number of required primary receivers, or sending fewer information bits. Moreover, the proposed IRS protocol always outperforms underlay relaying protocols using two TSs for data transmission, and achieves the best average BLER at identical transmission distances between the secondary source and secondary destination. The theoretical analyses are confirmed by Monte Carlo simulations.

English communication skills are now considered a passport-like requirement for students seeking a secure profession with a higher wage. Additionally, English proficiency is considered one of the variables affecting the success of foreign businesses investing in Vietnam and Vietnamese businesses looking to collaborate internationally to develop their brands into new markets abroad. The integration of various linguistic skills demonstrates the value of speaking. The main objective of this study was to investigate the frequency and importance of using direct speaking strategies by non-English-majored students at Dong Nai Technology University. The study involved 90 second-year undergraduate students at Dong Nai Technology University in Bien Hoa city, Dong Nai province. At the time of the study, the participants were 18-19 and had already attained elementary level. This research uses questionnaires and interviews using the SPSS application to analyze the main points relating to the research questions. According to research, direct speaking strategies significantly affect the English speaking skills of Dong Nai Technology University students. At the same time, the difficulties and orientations when learning speaking skills using direct speaking strategies were revealed in the study's conclusion. To maximize direct speaking strategies and advance the field of study, recommendations have been made for non-English-majored students.
Financial Performance and Stock Valuation of Tobacco Company in Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) Amidst the Hike of Excise Tax Rate Period 2017-2021
Authors:   School of Business and Management Institut Teknologi Bandung (SBM ITB) MBA ITB Bandung Campus, Bandung, West Java 40132, Indonesia, Sagala Desman Hansen
Published: September 2022

In the tobacco sector, there was a consistent decline in the price of shares outstanding during 2017 – 2021. The consistent decline in stock prices in the market in the tobacco sector initiated the author to analyze the financial performance condition of all companies in the tobacco sector and the stock valuation of companies with the best financial performance compared to other companies. So, it can be concluded that the market price position is now undervalued or still in an overvalued position to be the basis for making investment decisions. In this study, the financial performance of tobacco companies will be analyzed using the method of the decree of the Ministry of State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs) or decree No. KEP-100 / MBU / 2002. This method will result in the health level status (Healthy, Less Healthy, Unhealthy) of each tobacco company each year in the period 2017 to 2021. Stock valuation in companies with the healthiest company predicate from the tobacco sector on the Indonesian stock exchange for the 2017-2021 period. The Stock Valuation that will be used is the absolute and relative method. In the absolute method, the researcher used the discounted cash flow (DCF) method and Dividend Discount Model (DDM). As for the relative method, the researcher used Price to Book Value (PBV), Price to Earnings Ratio (PER), and EV/EBITDA. Based on PBV, PER, and EV/EBITDA, the intrinsic value of HMSP is Rp. 660.56, Rp. 1,093.53, and Rp. 1,104.57, respectively. DCF generates a result of IDR 1,301.35, and DDM gets IDR 1,375.53. Since only the PBV results reveal overvalued outcomes when compared to the market price, even though the share price is still Rp 915, it can be said that the market price of HMSP’s shares is undervalued. As a result, the researcher suggests investing in HMSP shares. The suggestion is being made because there is a chance for investors to profit from capital gains and dividends because the market price of HMSP is still undervalued in comparison to its underlying worth.
Zinc Metabolism: A Review with Regard to Zn Finger Proteins, DNA Methylation and p53; In Reference to its Deficiency Syndromes and Tracing its Immunological as Well as Epigenetic Relations
Authors:   Department of Zoology, Aligarh Muslim University, Aligarh- 202002 (INDIA), Abbas Kashif
Published: September 2022

Epigenetics is the branch of biology that studies the effects of environment on genetics and vice versa. It is the connecting link between genotype and phenotype of an individual, and can be widely influenced by the nutrition and availability of certain essential micronutrients, in this review, zinc. Although a trace element, zinc is essential to the body as a core component of more than 300 proteins and enzymes, which when functioning normally impart structural and mechanical capacities to the body tissues and fluids. Zinc is ubiquitous to all parts of the body and regulates various metabolic and biological processes such as cell proliferation, apoptosis, tumorigenesis, along with the regular working of fetal and adult organs. The role of zinc-finger proteins is crucial to impart stability to a protein’s folds and in turn render it functional to play its role in gene expression to serve as oncogenes or tumor suppressor genes. Zinc deficiency is a common occurrence in various parts of the world and is generally due to inadequate intake through the diet but may also manifest itself in an inheritable form. The effects of low zinc on a cellular level can be seen through a diminishing immunity, increased oxidative stress, reduced functionality of the p53 protein leading to tumor formation, incorrect DNA methylation. While phenotypically, zinc deficit can be both congenital and acquired. Some such diseases discussed here are irritable bowel syndrome, acrodermatitis enteropathica, thymic atrophy, celiac disease and preterm birth. In this review, the focus is on the aspect of zinc availability to cells as an epigenetic modulator/regulator and the subsequent consequences arising due to imbalance of zinc in the cell.

Career Maturity in Relation to Vocational Aspiration and Self-Concept among Senior Secondary School Adolescents
Authors:   Research Scholar, Department of Education, Aligarh Muslim University, Aligarh, India.
Published: September 2022

Students' careers are important in their lives because they will have to make decisions about their careers later in life. This study aims to examine the key predictors of Career Maturity between Vocational Aspiration and Self-Concept among the senior secondary school adolescents. Three measures are employed in the quantitative study design, including a self-concept questionnaire developed and normed by Saraswat (2011), the Occupational Aspiration Scale by J.S. Grewal (2011), and the Career Maturity Inventory by Nirmala Gupta (2013). These scales disseminated to students from the four senior secondary government and private schools of Kannauj district. Using the simple random sampling method, a total of 376 senior secondary school adolescents were involved in the study. The findings show that among senior secondary school students enrolled in both government and private institutions, vocational aspiration became a significant factor in predicting career maturity. Career Maturity was found to have significant correlation with Vocational Aspiration while no relationship was found with self-concept for total sample and sub samples. Female students were found to have better Career Maturity than males while opposite trend was seen for Vocational Aspiration. Although, the self-concept of males and females was observed to be similar. Moreover, Female students have better capability to make or choose proper vocational choices, including awareness required for choosing career according to their skills, interests, values and personality traits. However, male students were having more aspirations for the career or vocation.

This study aims to analyze 93 English language teaching faculty members’ perspectives of online teaching at King Saud University, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The purpose of this study was to collect evaluative responses on online teaching experiences. This study addressed the following research question; What are teachers’ perceptions of online teaching at English Language Skills Department at King Saud University in terms of: online vs. classroom teaching mode, personal factors in online teaching and students factors in online classes. This was a quantitative study where the researcher adapted a questionnaire from Nambiar (2020) to investigate the perspectives of KSU English language teachers towards online teaching at a college level. Findings show significant percentages of teachers who stated that online teaching improved their skills and boosted their confidence, at 40% and 34%. Also, most teachers found online classes convenient, innovative and improve their teaching skills. However, 14% of the teachers argued that technical issues affected learning. Moreover, most of the teachers claimed that the students lacked interest, made excuses and did not take online classes seriously. It was also noticeable that the implementation of online learning was very well valued because it helped the teachers develop their personal teaching skills. On the other hand, their students’ lack of interest was what most of the teachers agreed on.

Authors: Hurwitz Jacob , Rich Darby , Agnew Connor , Harry John
Published: September 2022

Monitoring workload provides information about the physical demands in which athletes are competing in the sport of basketball. Sports scientists, strength and conditioning coaches and athletic trainers need to utilize this information to periodize and make decisions on practices and training program to optimize performance and prevent injuries. External workload was determined as impact workload asymmetry: low-intensity, medium-intensity, and high-intensity and overall inertial movement analysis. The internal workload was determined by a modified rating of perceived exertion (RPE) scale to mimic the three different intensity levels of the internal workload. The following narrative review presents knowledge on monitoring internal and external workload utilizing 95% confidence intervals during training sessions (practices), competition (games), and testing sessions (return to play protocols) while employing the use of inertial measurement units (IMUs) in basketball athletes.

Longe de pretender requentar a apresentação do conceito ou tentar expressá-lo de modo mais inteligível, queremos desfazer uma confusão interpretativa provocada pelo próprio texto de Giorgio Agamben, no original italiano, que algumas vezes distingue claramente vida nua de vida natural ou zoé, outras vezes as equiparam equivocadamente. Deixaremos nas linhas que se seguem que o texto do filósofo romano venha em auxílio e contra o seu próprio texto, para demonstrar que vida nua difere de existência biológica. Preparamos assim a investigação proposta em um projeto de pesquisa que foi denominado por mim de Por uma vida nua, no qual se objetiva encontrar o outro lado da vida nua, elaborar um conjunto de reflexões que anele pela defesa de alternativas éticas e políticas que levem em consideração a nudez tal como pode ser filosoficamente e positivamente compreendida.
Abstract
The present article intends to review the concept of bare life in perspective, taking as its primary source the book that features him as the protagonist, Homo sacer: il potere sovrano e la nuda vita, without neglecting other relevant conceptual appearances in the whole of the work, especially in L'uso dei corpi. Far from intending to revive the presentation of the concept or try to express it in a more intelligible way, we want to dissolve an interpretative confusion caused by Giorgio Agamben's own text, in the original Italian, which sometimes clearly distinguishes bare life from natural life or zoé, at other times wrongly equated them. In the following lines, we will allow the text of the Roman philosopher to come to the aid and against his own text, to demonstrate that bare life differs from biological existence. Thus, we aim to prepare the investigation proposed in a research project that I called For a bare life, in which the objective is to find the other side of bare life and to elaborate a set of reflections that yearn for the defense of ethical and political alternatives that considers nudity as it can be philosophically and positively understood.

The Brazilian mammalian fauna is threatened by several factors, the main ones being anthropogenic origins, such as agriculture, cattle ranching, and hunting. Medium and large mammals are continually affected by these factors. In this context, we conducted an inventory and estimated the abundance of medium and large mammals in a particular peri-urban remnant forest in the city of Porto, Rondônia. Fieldwork was carried out involving 88 kilometers of census during the daytime, indirect signs research, and interviews. We recorded 21 species of mammals. Private forest reserves have the potential to conserve endangered species, and therefore, actions that favor the connection of these areas in the rural environment should be prioritized

All teams aspire to give their best effort during a game, and doing so necessitates taking into account players interaction with their teammates during playing time. Therefore, determining each players interaction and evaluating their performance plays an important role in basketball. The study reviewed and evaluated players interaction for the 2017/2018 NBA season. Though there are known techniques for analysis and player performance evaluation which have been developed overtime, several other techniques have been proposed. However, in order to better manage the game and positioning of players, network analysis a better way to understand players preference in passing the ball to other players. The study used Network analysis to assess and analyze basketball players interaction and general performance. Statistics for every player for 2017/2018 season were gathered by scraping data from Basketball-Reference and used custom R scripts to gather box score data from basketball reference. Precisely there were 30 teams and had initially 23 variables related to their performance with attributes such as fields goals made, field goals made, points scored with field goals, points scored and so on. Network nodes for each players assist performance was highlighted. Network diagram were then generated for different teams such as Milwaukee Bucks, Cleveland which shown the consistency of passes for each player and interaction.
