Abstract. We observed a gravity wave (GW) signature in the OH
emission layer in the upper mesosphere, and 4 h later, a medium-scale
travelling ionospheric disturbance (MSTID) in the OI 630 nm emission layer.
Spectral analysis of the two waves showed that both have almost the same
wave characteristics: wavelength, period, phase speed and propagation
direction, respectively, 200 km, 60 min, 50 m s−1, toward the southeast. From
the gravity wave ray-tracing simulation for the mesospheric gravity wave, we
found that the wave came from a tropospheric deep convection spot and
propagated up to the 140 km altitude. Regarding the same wave
characteristics between mesospheric GW and ionospheric MSTID, the two
possible cases are investigated: a direct influence of the GW oscillation in
the OI 630 nm emission height and the generation of a secondary wave during
the GW breaking process. This is the first time to report an observational
event of gravity wave propagation from the troposphere, mesosphere to
thermosphere–ionosphere in the South American region.
The lithostratigraphic formations of the coastal Holocene in NE Germany – a synthesis
Authors: Lampe Reinhard
Published: December 2022

Abstract. Based on extensive investigations along the coast and in the coastal waters of NE Germany, a lithostratigraphic classification of the
Holocene coastal deposits is presented. Their characteristics, i.e. the
lithofacies, reflect the spatial change in hydrodynamics, sediment supply,
salinity, bioproduction, etc. in the accumulation space. The displacement of
the facies associated with the sea-level rise of the Baltic Sea led to the
formation of regularly occurring vertical depositional sequences. From these
regular profiles, four lithostratigraphic formations and two subformations
of the coastal deposits can be delineated as approximately homogeneous
sedimentary bodies, which are described in detail, defined in terms of their
spatial extent and classified with regard to the time of accumulation.

Published: December 2022

Abstract. Reservoirs play a key role in many human societies due to their capability to manage water resources. In addition to their role in water supply and hydropower production, their ability to retain water and control the flow makes them a valuable asset for flood mitigation. This is a key function, since extreme events have increased in the last few decades as a result of climate change, and therefore, the application of mechanisms capable of mitigating flood damage will be key in the coming decades. Having a good estimation of the outflow of a reservoir can be an advantage for water management or early warning systems. When historical data are available, data-driven models have been proven a useful tool for different hydrological applications. In this sense, this study analyzes the efficiency of different machine learning techniques to predict reservoir outflow, namely multivariate linear regression (MLR) and three artificial neural networks: multilayer perceptron (MLP), nonlinear autoregressive exogenous (NARX) and long short-term memory (LSTM). These techniques were applied to forecast the outflow of eight water reservoirs of different characteristics located in the Miño River (northwest of Spain). In general, the results obtained showed that the proposed models provided a good estimation of the outflow of the reservoirs, improving the results obtained with classical approaches such as to consider reservoir outflow equal to that of the previous day. Among the different machine learning techniques analyzed, the NARX approach was the option that provided the best estimations on average.
Diagnostic Parsimony
Authors: Autzen Bengt
Published: December 2022

Ockham’s razor is the idea that simpler hypotheses are to be preferred over more complex ones. In the context of medical diagnosis, this is taken to mean that when a patient has multiple symptoms, a single diagnosis should be sought that accounts for all the clinical features, rather than attributing a different diagnosis to each. This paper examines whether diagnostic parsimony can be justified by reference to probability theory. I argue that while attempts to offer universal justifications of diagnostic parsimony fail, a more constrained use of this diagnostic principle can be supported.

Esse texto apresenta os resultados de pesquisa que buscou apontar os limites e possibilidades dos programasimplementados para formação de alfabetizadores no contexto neoliberal. O estudo teve como pressuposto omaterialismo histórico-dialético, utilizado como fio condutor das análises realizadas e aporte teórico dos seguintesautores: Duarte (2006, 2008 e 2010), Saviani (2007, 2009) e Shiroma (2011). Para empreendimento do estudo ainvestigação foi realizada por meio de pesquisa bibliográfica e documental. A política de formação de professoresalfabetizadores e alfabetização foram consideradas como categorias de análise singular neste estudo, poispermitiram estabelecer relações com o contexto mais amplo, o universal, por meio da análise da totalidade e seusdeterminantes. O singular e o universal foram categorias que se inter-relacionam por meio do particular, que nesteestudo foram expressas por meio de documentos legais de implantação e implementação dos programas. Osresultados permitem inferir que as políticas de formação de professores são caracterizadas como políticas degoverno, sendo marcadas pela descontinuidade das ações. Outra questão que sobressai na formulação das políticase programas é a forte influência dos organismos internacionais e a presença da linha epistemológica tecnicista quetem embasado a formação continuada de professores.

Published: December 2022

Background/Aims: The data on the prevalence of hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are conflicting. The present systematic review was thus conducted to study the prevalence of HBV and HCV markers in patients with IBD. Methods: A comprehensive literature search of 3 databases was conducted from 2000 to April 2022 for studies evaluating the prevalence of HBV or HCV in patients with IBD. Pooled prevalence rates across studies were expressed with summative statistics. Results: A total of 34 studies were included in the final analysis. The pooled prevalence of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) and hepatitis B core antibodies were 3.3% and 14.2%, respectively. In HBsAg positive IBD patients, hepatitis B e antigen positivity and detectable HBV DNA were seen in 15.3% and 61.0% of patients, respectively. Only 35.6% of the IBD patients had effective HBV vaccination. The pooled prevalence of anti-HCV and detectable HCV RNA were 1.8% and 0.8%, respectively. The pooled prevalence of markers of HBV infection was higher in Asian studies, while the prevalence of markers of HCV infection was higher in European studies. The prevalence of viral hepatitis markers was similar between IBD patients and the general population and that between ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease. Conclusions: The prevalence of markers of viral hepatitis remains same as the general population with significant regional variations, although the quality of evidence remains low due to publication bias. Only a small proportion of IBD patients had an effective HBV vaccination, requiring improvement in screening and vaccination practices.

Published: December 2022

As an important form for firms to demonstrate social responsibility, socially responsible donation (SRD) is becoming increasingly widespread and attracting more attention. It is important to encourage firms to effectively undertake social responsibilities and improve social welfare. Recently, it has become very popular for firms to demonstrate their social responsibility through SRD campaigns. With the aim of solving the decision-making problem of a retailer-led socially responsible supply chain considering government subsidy, this study established a three-stage Stackelberg game model. By analyzing the impact of pricing and donation decisions on operations and management, either with or without government subsidy, we found that to achieve better performance, retail firms will choose to implement donation activities. However, it is not the case that the higher the donation, the better the performance. In addition, there is a gap: without government subsidy, social welfare is not optimal when members’ performance in the supply chain is maximized, and more donations are needed to maximize social welfare. This study proves that government subsidy can encourage supply chain members to generate more donations, while improving the performance of the supply chain and social welfare. We propose an optimal subsidy rate to eliminate the gap and maximize social welfare. We also analyze the impact of external parameters, including the cost parameter and consumer preference level, on the equilibrium results. Finally, we extend this research to provide management insights for businesses under uncertain market sizes and centralized decision-making scenarios.

In Kazakhstan, the number of studies on the values of youth has been growing in recent years. Most of them demonstrate a predominance of family values. Meanwhile, the country has a disturbing number of divorces, most of which fall on young families. In the following article, the authors attempt to find an explanation for the existing gap between declared values and actual behavior. For this purpose, the authors analyzed existing sociological studies related to youth. The authors conclude that people's responses in surveys may reflect cultural norms and, therefore, reproduce "ideal" behavior. What respondents claim in surveys can often differ from their true beliefs and views.

Published: December 2022

The article examines the role of language in multiethnic communities, where today language policy is becoming the most important issue of ethnic conflicts and clashes in developing countries of the world. The language policy model is one of the methods by which the State tries to settle ethnic contradictions within various communities. In many cases, language policy acts as a deterrent to inter-elite confrontations within a single state. The political elite uses various strategies to regulate language processes, namely: assimilationist or pluralistic strategies to achieve a political goal. Within the framework of this article, many examples of specific language policies were considered in terms of their contribution to achieving the political goals of elite groups. Language policy in the recent period is studied as based on the interaction of two obvious, but conflicting necessities. In the vast majority of countries where the conscious language policy of the authorities and uncontrolled policy through "economic turnover" is often aimed at maintaining the need for mutual understanding. The need for identity of speakers of minority languages often suffers, which can lead to interethnic conflicts.

Eco-criticism is an emerging area of investigation in literary and critical studies aiming at the analysis of the role and representation of nature and environment in literary works. Eco-critics speak for nature which, they believe, is silenced, and oppressed by anthropocentric mindset and human lust for profit and comfort. Critique of modern industrial civilization and celebration of pre-colonial primitive cultures are the important concerns in the contemporary eco-critical discourse. Anarchism aims at the eradication of modern civilization, advocating the restoration of pre-modern and pre-egalitarian primitive mode of existence. Anarcho-primitivism, combining anarchists’ distrust for modern civilization and authoritarianism with primitivists’ interest in simple and primitive mode of living, involves a critique of modern industrial civilization, advocating a return to non-civilized primitive ways of life. Anarchist and anarcho-primitivist elements are perceptible in Lawrence’s post-war fiction which exudes his aversion for modern industrial civilization for its barrenness, decay and sterility, and its unspeakable damage to the natural environment, and his predilection for non- European primitive cultures and societies which, in comparison to dead European existence, present a better alternative with their vitality and healthier mode of existence. This paper, by adopting the qualitative research method and using the key concepts of the representative anarchist, primitivist and ecocritical thinkers as theoretical framework, has attempted to analyse anarcho-primitivism in Lawrence’s post-war fiction from ecocritical perspective. Keywords: Eco-criticism, Anarchism, Primitivism, Anarcho-primitivism, Future primitive

Research has always focused on identifying parenting styles adopted by parents of adolescents to find their association with parent-adolescent relationships, yet the experience of parenting a child at a sensitive age and stage is much more complex. This study aimed to explore the lived experience of mothers handling 11-15 years old adolescents and the troubles they go through. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 7 mothers of adolescents. Using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA), two superordinate themes were generated i.e., apprehensions and parental self-doubt. These superordinate themes had 10 sub-themes. The results revealed that mothers go down memory lane and compare their child with their childhood and use certain strategies which fail. This leads to loss of control in the mothers and their associated apprehensions and helplessness leads them to question themselves in the maternal role.

This study describes the application of an Emotion Regulation Training Program (ERTP) to a young male adult with emotion regulation (anger) problem which reinforced him to break rules. A large number of emotion regulation programmes are providing to the disturbed individuals in a very systematically and dedicative manner through using group format. But the effectiveness of implementing an individualized emotion regulation training programme still requires empirical support. Therefore, an emotion regulation training programme based on evidence based Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) techniques was developed specifically for rule-breaker and delivered to him twice a week for successive 5 weeks. The conceptualization of emotion regulation problem of the male young adult associated with rule-breaking behavior, course of psychological assessment and management along with recommendations to psychologists and clinicians working in various setups were discussed. These elements are particularly important in order to understand the dynamics of emotion regulation problem and to lessen the magnitude of gradually growing instances of rule-breaking behavior in our young adult’s population. Keywords: rule-breaker, anger, emotion regulation, cognitive behavior technique, intervention study.
MODIFICAÇÃO PROGNÓSTICA DE CÂNCERES HEMATOLÓGICOS ATRAVÉS DO TRATAMENTO COM CÉLULAS CAR-T
Authors: De Almeida Anne Vitória Nogueira
Published: December 2022

Introdução: A imunoterapia contra o câncer fundamentada no uso do receptor de antígeno quimérico CAR-T reflete uma nova perspectiva para a cura e melhora clínica de múltiplos tumores malignos, especialmente neoplasias hematológicas. Objetivos: Elucidar a influência que a terapia com células CAR-T pode acarretar no prognóstico de cânceres hematológicos. Metodologia: Trata-se de uma revisão de literatura, onde para a seleção de artigos realizou-se pesquisas a partir das bases de dados US National Library of Medicine/Medical Literature Online (PUBMED/MEDLINE) e Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe de Informação em Ciências da Saúde (LILACS), entre os anos de 2021 e 2022, utilizando os descritores: Terapia CAR com células T, hematologia, prognóstico e evolução clínica. Revisão de Literatura: Apesar de inúmeros avanços em imunoterapia, a mortalidade por doença neoplásica hematológica ainda é relevante, sendo a maioria dos óbitos relacionados à refratariedade da doença. O primeiro produto comercial de células CAR-T foi aprovado pela agência regulatória norte-americana Food and Drug Administration (FDA) em 2017 e desde então busca-se melhores resultados prognósticos. O que se sabe é que remissões prolongadas foram observadas em subgrupos específicos de pacientes acometidos por Linfoma não Hodgkin (LNH), Leucemia Linfocítica Aguda de células B recidivante e/ou refratária (LLA-B/RR) e mieloma múltiplo (MM). Estudos pré-clínicos indicaram sinergia potencial entre o tratamento radioterápico e a terapia com células CAR-T, apontando que combinações terapêuticas podem aumentar a imunidade específica contra o tumor e consequentemente, interferir de forma positiva no prognóstico. No entanto, terapias com células CAR-T exigem uma estrutura complexa para desenvolvimento, sendo seu principal problema, o alto custo. Conclusão: A terapia com células CAR-T demonstrou respostas nunca antes alcançadas na oncologia devido sua atividade antitumoral direta, tornando-se uma estratégia ímpar de tratamento remissivo e curativo para pacientes com cânceres hematológicos avançados. No entanto, para maior cobertura clínica com tal terapêutica, faz-se necessário estudos que visem a redução de custos em sua produção.

El vertiginoso crecimiento y la precisión de las técnicas de Inteligencia Artificial (AI, del inglés Artificial Intelligence) permiten analizar grandes volúmenes de datos de forma rápida y eficiente. En ese sentido, la aplicación de técnicas de reconocimiento facial en sistemas de seguridad (video-vigilancia) no quedan exentas y resultan convenientes pues asistirían al desempeño humano en las labores de observación, interpretación y etiquetado de imágenes en tiempo real, a la vez que funcionarían como un sistema de alerta o alarma ante la presencia de intrusos. La implementación de estos sistemas puede llevarse a cabo con hardware relativamente barato y aprovechando la capacidad de procesamiento del clúster big data de la Universidad Central “Marta Abreu” de Las Villas (UCLV). Con la puesta en práctica del proyecto se ofrecen soluciones a las problemáticas identificadas en la dirección de informatización asociadas a la gestión de cuentas por parte de los usuarios y aplicaciones futuras relacionadas con la detección de personal en áreas de interés. Con la implementación se pretenden dos posibles contribuciones: en primer lugar, se ha de diseñar un procedimiento capaz de ensamblar un conjunto de datos a gran escala, minimizando al mismo tiempo la cantidad de anotaciones manuales involucradas. Este procedimiento se ha de desarrollar para caras, pero evidentemente es adecuado para otras clases de objetos, así como para tareas específicas. La segunda contribución ha de ser mostrar que una Red Neuronal Convolucional (CNN, del inglés Convolutional Neural Network), profunda con la formación adecuada, puede lograr resultados comparables a los del estado de la técnica.

This study was conducted to detect CPMV in infecting cowpea plantes at Plant Protection Department/College of Agriculture, University of Baghdad. Symptomatic cowpea plants collected from fields in Baghdad and Diyala Provinces were tested by Emzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), reverse transcription- polymerase chain reaction RT-PCR and Immuno-capture reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (IC-RT-PCR) using commercial kits. ELISA approach could detect Cowpea mosaic virus CpMV in tested samples but with virus concentration lower than the positive control supplied with the kit, indicating a unique virus strain. RNA from samples showed the highest CpMV concentration were extracted by direct release and used in ICPT-PCR using como2 a comovirus specific primer set. cDNA was synthetized using como2 revers primer. RT-PCR confirmed the detection of comoviruses when amplified 200 bp DNA fragments from CpMV infected samples. Sequence analysis confirmed CpMV detection when compared with equivalent GenBank sequences. The sequence obtained shared 94.1% maximum nucleotide identity with RNA dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) gene of CpMV from Egypt (Acc. No. KT438619 and X00206). Both sequence analysis and IC-RTPCR indicated that virus isolate detected could be an Iraq divergent strain of CpMV.

Published: December 2022

Grevillea robusta seedlings are of high demand in Kenyan agricultural landscapes especially in agroforestry systems, yet the ideal soil mixture is not identified. This experiment was to determine the ideal potting soil mixture for Grevillea species. A Complete Randomized Design (CRD) with 4 treatments replicated 3 times was employed. Four treatments were used; Forest soil, Agricultural soil, Forest soil + Manure and Agricultural soil + Manure. The experiment was done for 8 months in 2020 at Egerton University tree nursery. Data was collected on seedling survival, height, root and foliage variables. One-way ANOVA was performed on the measured variables using SAS statistical package while the means were separated using LSD at P< 0.05. Results showed that Agricultural soil + Manure was significantly higher (P<0.05) in all the shoot and foliage variables compared with Agricultural soil alone except for internode length. Besides, Agricultural soil + Manure showed similar growth performance with Forest soil alone. However, the former showed significantly higher leaf length (20.2 cm) compared with Forest soil + Manure (14 cm). Results showed that Forest soil and Agricultural soil + Manure had significantly higher (P<0.05) root biomass compared with Agricultural soil (2.77 g), while root collar diameter, root length and root to shoot ratio were similar. It is, therefore, recommended that tree nurseries located far from forests can use a potting soil mixture of Agricultural soil + manure in raising Grevillea seedlings since this gives similar growth performance with forest soil.

Published: December 2022

Monocytes and macrophages are part of the innate immune system. They come from bone marrow precursor cells, and we can find them in almost all the organs and tissues of the human body. Monocytes and macrophages help us to eliminate pathogens and infections, to promote the inflammatory and anti-inflammatory immune response, and repair damaged tissues. For this reason, they are very important to keep our body healthy and in physiological balance.

In this section, we will describe the generalities of these cells to understand their origin, function, subtypes, their participation in different types of diseases and their regulation mechanisms withinthe immune response.

This study describes and explains marginalisation strategy through discourse as social practice in Indonesian language, as reflected in language behavior appearing in the form of euphemism, disphemism, labelisation, and stereotype, one the basis of library research. The result of study shows that marginalisation strategy through discourse as social practice in Indonesian language designates the power dominance of upper level social class towards lower level social class. The manfestation of the marginalisation strategy is stated and implied in the use of the following words or terms (a) ;pemutusan hubungan kerja’ replacing ‘pemberhentian’ or ‘pemecatan’ (euphemism) in economy discourse, (b) ‘pencaplokan’ or ‘penyerobotan’ with  the conotation of negative meaning (diphemism) in political discouse, (c) ‘penggarap liar’ and ‘penyerobot lahan’ with the negative meaning (labelisation) in political discourse, and (d) ‘perempuan’ with the negative meaning and ‘wanita’ with the positive meaning (stereotype) in social and cultural discourse .

The epistemological structure of mobilities
Authors: Korstanje Maximiliano E.
Published: December 2022

Purpose

This paper aims to revolve around two problems which, though imagined as different, can be addressed altogether. On one hand, the advance of terrorism as a major threat to the tourism industry, while – on the other – we discuss the ontological nature of tourism as a rite of passage, which is vital to keep the political legitimacy of officialdom. At the time, paradoxically, social scientists shrug off tourism as a naïve commercial activity, while the main tourist destinations are being attacked by jihadism. This suggests the disinterest of ones associates to the interests of others.

Design/methodology/approach

The author holds the thesis that tourism derives from ancient institutions, which illuminated in the growth of Occident and the formation of hospitality. Capitalism hides the importance of tourism as a mere trivialization as a bit-player. However, a closer look reminds precisely the opposite. The recent attacks perpetrated at main destinations reveal tourism as an exemplary (symbolic) center of the West, a source of authority and power for the existing hierarchal order.

Findings

The issue captivates the attention of scholars, officials and policymakers, and at the same time, epistemologists of tourism receive a fresh novel debate regarding the origins of tourism.

Originality/value

It is a great paradox that tourism would be selected as a target for jihadism but at the same time a naïve activity for social scientists or at the least by the French tradition. Despite the partisan criticism exerted on tourism as an alienatory force, this work showed two important aspects, which merits to be discussed. At a closer look, tourism should be understood as “a rite of passage” whose function associates to the revitalization of those glitches happened during the cycles of production. Second, and most important, tourism accommodates those frustrations to prevent acts of separatism or the rise of extreme conflict among classes.
Post-terrorism image recovery of tourist destination: a qualitative approach using Fuzzy-VIKOR
Authors: Ali Yousaf , Shah Zainab Ahmed , Khan Amin Ullah
Published: December 2022

Purpose

This study aims to cover issues regarding traveling to a tourist destination which has seen war and terrorism. These problems can be addressed altogether, as they are interrelated. Based on tourists’ opinions, this paper aims to focus on measures or steps that can be taken to ensure changing their perceptions about a certain destination.

Design/methodology/approach

This study targets tourism experts for their opinions regarding the measures most necessary to change the perceptions of tourists. Their opinions were extracted through a questionnaire based on three criteria with four alternatives. Furthermore, raw data extracted are studied using the Fuzzy-VIKOR technique to rank the alternatives in order of importance. Moreover, the questionnaire also aims to know the perception of participants by asking them what would make them trust a destination with a history of terrorism.

Findings

The problems captivate the attention of government, guiding them to ensure that they need to focus more on physical security of tourists if they expect tourism industry to thrive. It was found that the steps needed to be taken are in the areas of international trade, cultural exchange programs and social media advertising.

Originality/value

Research based on improving tourist perception of Pakistan to develop Pakistan as a tourist destination is scarce. The study takes four different alternatives into account for image recovery and based on those alternatives, it provides a unique solution to the government in this regard with the necessary steps they need to take and attempts to help the government ensure tourism expansion in the country.
Transformational leadership and the European Foundation for Quality Management model in five-star hotels
Authors: Portela Maquieira Silvia , Tarí Juan José , Molina-Azorín José F.
Published: December 2022

Purpose

This work analyses quality management (through the European Foundation for Quality Management-EFQM-model) and transformational leadership in hotels in Spain.

Design/methodology/approach

The study analyses 102 5-star and 5-star large luxury hotels that answer a questionnaire on transformational leadership and the EFQM model. It analyses the degree of importance of quality and transformational leadership in hotels, the significant differences between groups of hotels (according to stars, size, modality and type of product) and the association between transformational leadership and quality.

Findings

The results show the levels of quality and transformational leadership, minor significant differences between groups and an association between the two variables. In general, chain-affiliated hotels have a higher level of leadership and a more advanced employee and process management than independent hotels. Also, those hotels that focus on a vacational product show a lower attention to the strategy dimension in the EFQM model. The number of employees is not an important factor to adopt quality. Finally, transformational leadership allows hotels to advance in the development of quality management.

Originality/value

Although there are studies on quality management that show the importance of leadership for quality, there are few studies that examine transformational leadership and quality in the same study, mainly in the tourism industry, and especially in the case of the hotel industry.

Authors: Xu Jingna , Seguí Llinás Miguel , Coll Ramis Miquel Angel
Published: December 2022

A Rural revitalization has been paid great attention in China as a result of rapid socio-economic development, and officially established as a national strategy in recent years. The study aims to identify the potential of tea tourism, as a specific form of rural gastronomic tourism, could contribute to regional revitalization, on the strength of rich tea resources and authentic tea culture in China. From an actor-oriented perspective, the comparative case study in Zhejiang province shows that, the actual tea tourism practice in case areas is shaped by environmental and personal factors.  Meanwhile, the potential of tea resources hasn’t been fully integrated in tourism activities, as practitioners’ operating capability restricted by conceptual issues and other self-limitations. Despite, the evolution of tea tourism becomes a channel to facilitate residents’ livelihood and life quality, turning the situation of rural residents’ outflow to inflow, achieved various aspects of rural revitalization. Finally, practical implications are also discussed to offer enlightenments to regional tea tourism practice.

Published: December 2022

O reaproveitamento do caroço de açaí tem ganhado destaque por ser uma alternativa para redução do impacto ambiental, bem como para o proveito econômico, visando a agregação de valor ao resíduo.  No presente trabalho, realizou-se a preparação dos caroços de açaí, onde consistiu nos processos de higienização, secagem, remoção do tecido fibroso, tratamento térmico, torrefação artesanal, moagem e peneiramento. As caracterizações físico-químicas iniciaram com a extração de lipídeos pelo método Soxhlet e o teor de proteínas totais pelo método Kjealdahl. Já a análise de polifenóis totais e taninos foram realizadas com base no preparo do extrato aquoso, sendo quantificados pela leitura em espectrofotômetro com curva de calibração com um padrão de referência, além da aplicação de análise sensorial com entrevistados. Os resultados obtidos em comparação aos caroços in natura da literatura mostraram diferenças que são justificadas pelos processos de preparação aplicados inicialmente. O aproveitamento deste resíduo, além de benefícios econômicos, permite um desenvolvimento regional mais sustentável.
A fantasia na literatura de fantasia: considerações sobre o gênero
Authors: Rebello Lucia , Souza Alisson
Published: December 2022

Enquanto a psicanálise busca ressignificar a fantasia como manifestações humanas complexas entre os campos linguístico, psíquico e social, J. R. R Tolkien (2020) sugere, a partir da noção de contos de fada, a fantasia como um fenômeno de lógica interna, associada ao escapismo e fundada pela proposição de “construção de mundos”. Após um resgate do termo “fantasia”, reflete-se a respeito da literatura de fantasia como gênero. Bebendo da transmissão oral e da mitologia, apontam-se três argumentos basilares das populares produções tolkianas e lewisianas: a influência da corrente contraditória humanista, a presença do pensamento cristão e a ciência como não progresso. O gênero torna-se combustível para a investigação taxonômica de Brian Attebery (1993) e Farah Mendlesohn (2008) cujas preocupações estão ligadas à anatomia formal do gênero, expondo que a literatura de fantasia se encontra ao lado de uma série de outros gêneros, como a ficção científica e o gótico. Assim, distinguem-se, a partir de então, fantasia como fenômeno humano sobre aquilo que é irreal e literatura de fantasia como gênero literário.
