Research on the Problems and Countermeasures of China's Wooden Furniture Product Exports
Authors: Wang Qiqian
Published: February 2023

After the reform and opening up, China's wooden furniture industry has made great progress. The production of wooden furniture has continued to grow, and the total amount of exports is also steadily increasing. Wooden furniture is also an integral part of our daily life. As China's economy continues to develop, the demand for wooden furniture is increasing and the proportion of its exports is rising year on year. Since China's accession to the WTO, China's exports of wooden furniture have gradually expanded and China's influence and competitiveness in the international market has increased. However, there are still many problems in China's wooden furniture export trade, including the export market being too congregated and facing trade barriers; facing competitive pressure from the markets of emerging countries, led by Vietnam; increasing export costs and low added value of products; and a single product structure and weak brand awareness. The main reason for these problems is that the export value of Chinese wooden furniture products is small, the export scale is not large, and the export scale fluctuates; the export product structure is simple, of which bedroom wooden furniture occupies a large proportion; the export market structure is too aggregated, mainly in the United States. Therefore, China's wooden furniture industry should continue to optimize the market structure of products, and actively respond to trade barriers; actively respond to the challenges from the international market, to strengthen international competitiveness; constantly adjust the product structure, establish and strengthen brand awareness, to create high-quality, high value-added wooden furniture products, in order to promote the development of wooden furniture export trade.

Establecimiento del sistema de embriogénesis somática en Azadirachta indica A. Juss a partir de suspensiones celulares, acoplado a la producción de azadiractina in vitro
Authors: Fernández Da Silva Rafael , Montilla Valeria
Published: February 2023

El neem (Azadirachta indica A. Juss; Meliaceae), es un árbol leñoso versátil en medicina, remediación y agricultura. En el agrícola, su rol es bioinsecticida, debido al metabolito secundario azadiractina (AZA), únicamente sintetizado por esta especie, cuya concentración óptima, requiere principalmente gran cantidad de semillas, disponibles por un breve lapso de tiempo al año, no obstante, por técnicas biotecnológicas, se puede obtener variedades elite acopladas a un mayor  rendimiento en la producción de dicho compuesto, independientemente del periodo del año, por lo cual el objetivo de este trabajo fue establecer el sistema de embriogénesis somática concatenado a la producción in vitro de AZA en suspensiones celulares, a partir de hoja y cotiledón, con distintas concentraciones de citocinina (BAP) y auxinas (2,4–D y AIA) para regenerar plantas y callo no embriogénico, para de este último en medio líquido, evaluar el efecto de distintas proporciones de nitrato/amonio, acetato de sodio y escualeno. En suspensiones celulares se diferenciaron embriones somáticos con 2 mg/L de BAP y 1 mg/L de 2,4-D, luego de 5 meses de cultivo. La máxima producción (52,53 mg/L) de AZA en 14 días de cultivo, se logró empleando simultáneamente nitrato (60 mM), acetato de sodio y escualeno (10 mg/L c/u).
The impact of nurses working multiple jobs and drowsy driving accidents: A scoping literature review
Authors: Rhodes Gina B. , Ford Deanna
Published: February 2023

Background and objectives: Nurses driving while sleep-deprived is a global problem; however, few studies have examined sleep deprivation impacted by nurses working multiple jobs concurrently. Nurses work in high-pressure environments and endure long working hours, which can exacerbate nurses' fatigue. As a result, nurses are susceptible to sleep deficiency and disrupted circadian rhythms. Conceivably, sleep deficiency and disruption in circadian rhythms impact nurses' performance and well-being. The strain of long work hours and insufficient sleep worsens when nurses work multiple jobs. Nevertheless, the adverse effects are not restricted to the healthcare contexts in which nurses work; nurses must also commute back home—this scoping review canvasses existing evidence showing the implications of working multiple jobs for drowsy driving accidents.Methods: In-depth primary data analysis highlights the connection between the two measures (multiple job-holding and drowsy driving accidents). A total of ten studies were identified from CINAHL, PubMed, ScienceDirect, and MEDLINE. These databases contain recent research on nursing trends. The focus was on studies published from 1988 to 2022. This timeframe widens the pool of evidence that can be included in the research using Arksey and O'Malley's five-step process for conducting this scoping review.Results: The review finds ten studies spotlighting the relationship between intensified job demands associated with multiple job-holding and fatigue, which predisposes nurses to drowsy driving and accidents. In-depth primary data analysis highlights the connection between the two measures; multiple job-holding and drowsy driving accidents.Conclusions: Nurses must be optimal performers, yet they work under exceptionally stressful circumstances. The present study suggests that sleep deficiency and disruptions to circadian rhythms have profound negative implications for nurses' well-being beyond health facilities. Sleep interruption is challenging when nurses hold multiple jobs due to intensified job demands. In addition, exhausted nurses working several jobs are prone to drowsy driving, which can lead to accidents. Subsequent research needs to precisely document the implications of multiple job-holding among nurses concerning its impact on drowsy driving and accidents.

Postcolonial Perspectives on Sara Lidman’s Writings from South Africa 1960–1961

The Swedish writer Sara Lidman (1923–2004) wrote Jag och min son (I and My Son) after a brief stint in apartheid’s South Africa in 1960–1961, from where she was expelled for a violation of the Immorality Act. Based on a close, interrelated study of her diary, her letters and the two manuscripts (first published in 1961 and revised and re-published in 1963), this essay (»’To outlive the slave in me’: Postcolonial Perspectives on Sara Lidman in Apartheid’s South Africa 1960–1961«) examines the colonial boundary crisis of the Self. The major protagonists in the novel(s) embody variously aspects of the writer’s angst as it developed in the Johannesburg colonial setting of persecuted ANC members, the elite of the local Swedish community, and the pressure of her anticolonial frustrations. Sexuality is a major element in the »nervous condition« that characterizes the fragmented and confusing conceptualization of the novel. Its extensive rewriting was an attempt at strengthening its ideological, anti-imperial modus, pushing the novel into the environs of the postcolonial allegory such as in such texts as Jean Rhys’ Wide Sargasso Sea (1966), Tsitsi Dangarembga’s Nervous Conditions (1988) and Bessie Head’s A Question of Power (1974). A second self-castigating theme, this essay claims, is the impact of the religious  background of the author as born into – but never at peace with – strong evangelical and paternal practices. »Outliving the slave« (a quote from one of her letters) in the title of the essay proposes a Fanonian reading of the circulatory and traumatizing notion of rebellion (against Apartheid) and submission (to it). The third theme involves the idealization of the child that also involves a colonial cul-desac of self-positioning expressed both in the novel and the writer’s attempts at adopting an African child (never realized).
Editorial Introduction – Sustainable, Smart and Systemic Design Post-Anthropocene: Through a Transdisciplinary Lens
Authors: Davidová Marie , Nousala Susu , Marlowe Thomas J.
Published: February 2023

Sustainability as related to the environment is now just over 50 years old. In that time, especially in regard to human artifacts such as architecture, it has largely focused on human priorities, and how they need to be modified to address or rectify environmental and ecological challenges. A new, post-anthropocene view suggests that it is also important to consider the environment as more than a backdrop whose state and appearance must be maintained, but rather as an actor in its own right, with its own interests, including the interests of the living non-human actors in the local ecology. This special issue seeks to explore this wider notion, and the editors view our introduction as an opportunity to present the journal theme, to introduce the authors and place its papers in context, and to welcome researchers and practitioners to explore this topic further.
Applying a Systemic Approach for Sustainable Urban Hillside Landscape Design and Planning: The Case Study City of Chongqing in China
Authors: Hu Xiao , Sibley Magda , Davidová Marie
Published: February 2023

Rapid urbanization has led some Chinese cities to extend to hillside sites with recurrent patterns of flattening sloping terrain to erect high rise buildings. This approach usually results in disturbing local ecosystems which protection is an important requirement towards achieving the UN 2030 Sustainable Development Goals. Studies examining the special patterns of urban extensions onto hills and the driving forces of behind the deterioration of environmental quality in cities are scarce. This paper aims to answer two questions; “What are the definitions and goals for sustainable landscape design for hillside urban extensions?” and “What are the real causes for the unsustainability of current urban hillside housing developments?” These questions will be approached, first through a literature review, and second through considering the case study of Chongqing Yue Lai eco-city and examining the limitation and remediation through the whole process of the land construction loop within the systemic approach. This article illustrates how sustainable urban hillside landscape design and planning can be achieved by balancing the priorities of four key stakeholders (government, developers, city dwellers, and local ecosystem). This calls for shifting from the central planning system dominated by local governments by including the equally important priorities of its citizens (human actors) and non-human actors (ecosystem).
Rethinking Sustainability: Mapping Microclimatic Conditions on Buildings as a Regenerative Design Strategy
Authors: Zimbarg Ana
Published: February 2023

Once humankind became aware of environmental problems, more opportunities were open for research and discoveries, which expanded the boundaries, and gave force to sustainability in architecture. However, in sustainability, any damage caused by human development is not considered, and in numerous cases, the term is misused. Many interventions are underpinned 'green' and 'sustainable' but are unable to provide any benefit to the environment. This misconception reflects the individualistic attitude that human development has concerning the planet. Therefore, considering the built environment as part of the natural environment can be beneficial in developing different strategies for producing sustainable and regenerative projects. Combining nature with architecture can help to trigger empathy and respect, generating new relationships between humans and nature. This paper will critique the misappropriation of the term sustainability and exhibit concepts of regenerative design, which will scaffold a conceptual framework of treating the building as part of the landscape. The relevance of the presented framework is that the building is thought of as a feature in the landscape that creates microclimatic conditions for various plant habitats, and it has the potential to become a tool to include regenerative principles in the urban context.
FRONTEIRAS DO CONHECIMENTO E INOVAÇÃO NAS CIÊNCIAS HUMANAS
Authors: De Arruda Campos Alzira Lobo
Published: February 2023

Dos centros decisórios atuais proveio a palavra de ordem "inovação", entendida como aperfeiçoamentos da cibercultura digital restrita a seu polo técnico, assim como a utopia da "sociedade do lazer", com o "ócio produtivo", como seu corolário. Os países periféricos submetem-se ao imperialismo atual, que substituiu a bandeira de civilizar e cristianizar os povos "selvagens" por uma utópica "democracia digital". Sob a primeira bandeira, os burgueses conquistadores dos séculos XV ao XVII conquistaram e colonizaram continentes inteiros, em benefício exclusivo da Europa. Sob a segunda, a humanidade é colonizada pelos centros nos quais bate o coração do capitalismo contemporâneo, transformando-se em consumidora compulsiva de novidades tecnológicas, vistas como garantidoras de prosperidade material e espiritual globais. A impossibilidade de países "em desenvolvimento" conseguirem alcançar a sociedade utópica repousa no fato constatado, desde a década de 1980, que sem as competências técnicas requeridas pelo capitalismo o homem perdeu o seu valor de mercado.

Authors: RIAMBAU PINHEIRO VANESSA
Published: February 2023

O propósito desta pesquisa é refletir acerca do fazer literário como estratégia de resistência ao silenciamento sofrido por mulheres negras desde a época colonial. A mulher, enquanto “Outro do homem” (BEAUVOIR, 2008) e a mulher negra em especial, enquanto “Outro do outro” (KILOMBA, 2019), sofreu com o apagamento histórico desde a colonização, tendo passado pelas mais diversas formas de violência e de opressão, algumas das quais perduram até os dias atuais. Para ilustrar nosso estudo, utilizaremos o livro Cidadã de segunda classe, da escritora nigeriana Buchi Emecheta (2018), e analisaremos as diferentes formas de opressão sofrida pela personagem; como base teórica nos valeremos de Bell Hooks (2019; 2018), Spivak (2010), Kilomba (2019), Morrison (2019) e Pollak (1989), entre outros autores.

Para além das discussões e atravessamentos críticos, assim como Alfredo Bosi e Antonio Candido têm seus lugares na mística crítica literária brasileira, presto-me para apresentar à sociedade latino-americana o conceito da arquivivência que – por mim estabelecido – salpica os anseios dos arquivos de Jacques Derrida e as experivivências de Marcos Antônio Bessa-Oliveira, assim e por esta (des)razão, conceituo aliançando os vocábulos: arquivo e experivivências dos autores supracitados para sugerir à crítica literária a prática da arquivivência que pude descobrir ao me aproximar e me deixar ser tocado pela verve contribuinte de Silviano Santiago. Destaco neste artigo epistêmico e não hegemônico, que só pude propositar esse conceito por saber que enuncio com e a partir da crítica biográfica fronteiriça.
DE UMA TOUCA ALFA À INVASÃO DO CAPITÓLIO

Published: February 2023

O artigo analisa a questão identitária na atualidade e justifica-se pela relevância que a temática assume no Brasil, hoje, quando seus grupos constitutivos vivem tensões políticoculturais, decorrentes de conflitos ideológicos, migrações e da mutabilidade que a pósmodernidade impõe. O texto enfoca duas ocasiões, o uso de uma vestimenta por duas adolescentese a invasão recente do Capitólio por apoiadores de Donald Trump. A partir desses temas, reflete em torno das concepções de identidade relacional e essencialista dos sujeitos e dos grupos sociais. Conclui que o caráter relacional de identidade, forjado na aceitação do outro, abre portas para a relativização identitária, podendo conduzir os indivíduos à percepção da necessidade de acolher o diferente, a alteridade, comportamento que gera cooperação e solidariedade.

The Politics of Compromise: Analyzing the Repeal of Section 377A in Singapore
Authors: Abdullah Walid Jumblatt Bin
Published: February 2023

This article discusses the repeal of Singapore's Section 377A, the anti-gay sex law, which was announced by Prime Minister (PM) Lee Hsien Loong during the 2022 National Day Rally. I contend that the declaration by PM Lee demonstrates the possibilities and limits of advocacy coalition-building
in Singapore. Utilizing the concept of calibrated social liberalization, I postulate that the repeal of Section 377A was the government's response to shifting societal attitudes and years of strategic and adroit advocacy coalition- building. However, predicated upon this success is that LGBT
issues are not critical to the People's Action Party's (PAP) legitimacy, which is why it is willing to allow for contestations in this sphere. The PAP engages in social liberalization, without significant political liberalization; even then, the cultural liberalization is not absolute, as
the government attempts to strike a political-electoral compromise with conservatives. Ultimately, calibrated social liberalization occurs in areas where there is significant public support, and on issues regarding which the government has no clear ideological predispositions.
