Older adults' adaptiveness to disruptions during South Africa's COVID-19 lockdown: Keep your head up and continue breathing
Authors: de Vries A , Mthembu T , Wegner L
Published: May 2023

INTRODUCTION: Adaptiveness fosters resilience through increasing capacity to transcend barriers in individuals, their environment and occupational engagement. The COVID-19 pandemic and lockdown may have decreased adaptiveness in older adults by disrupting occupational engagement, thus negatively influencing health and well-being METHODS: A qualitative, meta-analytic design was used to explore the adaptiveness of older adults to disruptions experienced during South Africa's COVID-19 lockdown. Four student researchers' primary studies were reviewed and findings synthesised for this paper. Individual, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 16 participants during April and May 2020. The transcripts were analysed thematically and reported in the primary studies. The authors conducted thematic analysis across all four primary studies to develop themes for this paper FINDINGS: Three dominant themes emerged: (1) COVID-19 as an illness, (2) occupational disruptions experienced by older adults, and (3) developing a state of adaptiveness. Older adults developed adaptiveness through changing perspective, adapting to new environments, learning to use technology, expanding roles and routines, and strengthening the spiritual self through engagement in eudemonic occupations CONCLUSIONS: The study provides insights into challenges and adaptiveness of older adults during the COVID-19 lockdown. Findings inform interventions with older adults presenting with reduced adaptiveness Implications for practice This study is valuable as it provides occupational therapists with a deeper understanding of older adults' experiences and challenges during the COVID-19 lockdown, thus, laying the potential for strengthening client-therapist interpersonal relationships. Although the sample observed in this study was older adults, the findings can be considered among other vulnerable clients such as individuals with disease, illness and/or disability. Additionally, these findings may provide occupational therapists with insights that can assist in framing intervention strategies for clients with a decreased state of adaptiveness. This is significant as adaptation requires reasonable social, emotional, and cognitive processes. Lastly, this study aimed to contribute to a wealth of research exploring adaptiveness, rooted in the reality that change is inexorable; however, how we respond to change can be transformative for individual and population well-being.
Mystery metatext in the poem "Field Hospital" by Arseny Tarkovsky
Authors:   Sterlitamak Branсh of Ufa University of Science and Technology, Ibatullina Guzel M.
Published: May 2023

The article interprets the mystery codes in the poem “Field Hospital” by Arseny Tarkovsky. The research is based on the principles of mythopoetic and structuralsemantic analysis of the text, and provides a systematic approach to the work, taking into account the specifics of its plot-genre paradigmatics and figurative-symbolic language. The inner world of the poem is organized by the logic of the mystery topos with its key coordinates: frontier ontology; the evolving character of time and the reflection of its dynamics in the “dialectic of the soul”; existential self-reflection and detachment of the hero’s consciousness. The motivic complex of the border, repeatedly manifested in the text and culminating in the symbolism of the limb, becomes a meta-image, in the semantic field of which all the named parameters of the mystery continuum intersect. The model of reality recreated in Tarkovsky’s poem goes beyond mythological monism, but it clearly correlates with the mystery organization of the chronotope: the mystic is aware of the multidimensionality of the universe and the existence of boundaries between different spheres of reality – primarily profane-everyday and sacred – as well as the possibility of moving across these boundaries, which, ultimately, is one of the results of mystery initiations. The plot-forming meaning in “Field Hospital” is acquired by allusive references to the mystery texts of culture: the ancient Egyptian, Christian, alchemical mysteries are dialogically integrated in the act of birth – transfiguration – resurrection experienced by Tarkovsky’s hero. The central place in this paradigm is given to the mystery of Osiris and Isis, the symbolic codes of which are reflected in a number of iconic motifs, images, and details. The key among them are the motif of dismemberment and the semantic complex of the victim associated with it; the symbolism of death – resurrection; the archetypal dyad of a newborn – infant; a tree-natural code associated with the lyrical hero; the allusively designated image of Isis, personifying the female harmonizing principle of the universe. If the motif of dismemberment contains a specific reference to the theme of Osiris, then the other elements in this series also relate to the mystery of Christ and, accordingly, to the texts of culture associated with it, including the mysteries of the alchemists. The study leads to the conclusion that Tarkovsky’s “Field Hospital” is read as a metatext, where in a situation of semantic dialogue different culturological modes of mystery coexist, and the mystery consciousness itself enters into a relationship of mutual reflection with the mythological and tragic worldview. The logic of the myth is intertwined in the development of the lyrical plot with the logic of tragedy, which in turn is overcome through a detached view of the tragic situations experienced and the mystery-conscious acceptance of fate and life in all their manifestations.
A scalable hydroponic-based method for screening isolates of chickpea Fusarium wilt pathogen, Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. ciceris v1
Authors: Raizada Manavi
Published: May 2023

Chickpea is the third most consumed grain legume in the world. It serves as a valuable source of protein and micronutrients, especially for the large vegetarian population in the Indian subcontinent. One of the major constraints in chickpea production is the Fusarium wilt disease caused by the soil-born necrotrophic pathogen Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. ciceris (Foc). The pathogen has been shown to interact with chickpea in a race-specific manner and evolved into multiple races. So far eight races of it have been reported including 0, 1A, 1B/C, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. When a pathogenic race and host genotype interact in a race-specific manner, the interaction follows the typical gene-for-gene interaction (R-AVR) hypothesis, where major genes control avirulence/virulence in the pathogen and resistance/susceptibility in the host. However, so far neither any race-specific molecules (AVR) from the Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. ciceris nor the resistance gene (R) from the chickpea have been reported. We are using a forward genetics screen for the identification of avirulence genes by r and t-DNA insertional mutagenesis. Since Fusarium is a soil-born pathogen that infects roots, the usual root dip method used for its screening cannot scale for screening 1000 mutants. Hence, the need arises for a scalable high throughput method to screen numerous mutants. We are in the process of optimizing a hydroponics-based screening method of pathogens. We have tried to optimize many conditions for a highly reproducible method.

Check the integrity of a dataset stored on Amazon S3 v2
Authors: García-Ruiz Sonia
Published: May 2023

Background Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) has become a widely used and reliable platform for storing large biomedical datasets. However, unintended changes to the original data can occur during the data writing and transmission, ultimately altering the original contents of the transferred object and generating unexpected results when later accessed. Despite the interest in verifying end-to-end data integrity, there are no existing open-source and easy-to-use tools to accomplish this mission; Results To bridge this gap, here we present aws-s3-integrity-check, a user-friendly, lightweight and reliable bash tool to verify the integrity of a dataset stored within an Amazon S3 bucket. By using this tool, we completed the integrity verification of >392K genomic and transcriptomic records ranging between 5 Bytes and 10 Gigabytes (GB) in size and occupying a total of 4.5 Terabytes (TB) of Amazon S3 cloud storage space in less than 13.5 hours. The aws-s3-integrity-check tool also provides file-by-file on-screen and log-file-based information about the status of each individual integrity check; Conclusions To the best of our knowledge, the aws-s3-integrity-check bash tool is the only open-source tool that allows verifying the integrity of a dataset uploaded to the Amazon S3 Storage system in a quick, reliable and efficient manner. The aws-s3-integrity-check tool can be used to test any file type and file size and it is freely available for use and download at https://github.com/SoniaRuiz/aws-s3-integrity-check and https://hub.docker.com/r/soniaruiz/aws-s3-integrity-check.

Creation of a Framework and a Corresponding Tool Enabling the Test-Driven Development of Microservices
Authors: Daase Christian , Staegemann Daniel , Volk Matthias , Turowski Klaus
Published: May 2023

Microservice architectures have emerged as counter design to traditional monolithic applications. While monoliths are single executable applications, microservice architectures consist of several smaller units. Advantages of microservice architectures are their development speed, lower costs of change, and dynamic scaling ability. However, this pattern requires an adaptation of quality assurance measures. In this research article, test-driven development is investigated in context of microservices that are developed according to established practices. Based on the systems development research methodology, recommendable practices and testing strategies are examined with a translation of that knowledge into an extensive artifact, enabling test-driven microservice development on local systems. Five design principles could be identified, including focusing small services, domain-driven design, striving for low-complexity networks, avoiding cyclic dependencies, and aiming for high connectivity performance. Integration, component, and contract tests could be integrated for automatic execution, showing that test-driven development for microservices is feasible, although with room for improvements.

Published: May 2023

Most of the existing learning management systems (LMS) are designed and give students a steeper learning curve meaning, taking so much of their time in learning the system, or it would be their parents who would navigate the system for them. To address this issue, the researchers proposed Alitaptap, a learning management system (LMS) specially designed for kids at the preschool and elementary levels. It provides a child-friendly user interface, utilizing colors that would not only be attractive to them but also direct them to the right buttons. It would also utilize icons and images that would entice the user group to use the application more. It also has the functionality to download all the necessary files, presentations, and tasks for the week for the users to be able to do their tasks offline. This study tackles the use of SWOT analysis to be able to assess the Alitaptap app and identify its different strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. A questionnaire utilizing the six thinking hats strategy was utilized and distributed to different respondents and after the responses, a SWOT analysis was conducted followed by a TOWS Matrix to identify the state of the app. Overall, the Alitaptap app is a great potential product in the learning management system category aimed toward children.

Monizm contra pluralizm logiczny w kontekście dyskusji W.V.O. Quine – S. Haack
Authors: Czernecka-Rej Bożena
Published: May 2023

Jednym z głównych pytań w filozofii logiki jest to, czy jest jedna, czy wiele logik. Pytanie to doczekało się różnych odpowiedzi, które formułują opozycyjne stanowiska: monizm logiczny contra pluralizm logiczny. Za reprezentatywnego przedstawiciela monizmu uznawany jest Willard Van Orman Quine, a pluralizmu — Susan Haack. Oba te stanowiska są kontynuowane współcześnie: monizm (m.in. Michael Dummett, Graham Priest, Timothy Williamson) oraz pluralizm (m.in. Jc Beall i Greg Restall, Johan van Benthem, Ottavio Bueno i Scott Shalkovski, Stewart Shapiro i Roy Cook). Monizm jest znacznie mniej preferowany niż pluralizm. W artykule wskazano na źródła pluralizmu w logice (m.in. wieloznaczność spójników języka naturalnego, prawdy i wynikania) oraz przywołano argumentacje wybranych przedstawicieli tego stanowiska.
Neopatrystyczna koncepcja ascezy Sergieja Chorużego (1941–2020) i jego heideggerowsko-foucaultiańskie inspiracje
Authors: Kroczak Justyna
Published: May 2023

W artykule przedstawiam osobowość twórczą współczesnego rosyjskiego myśliciela nurtu neopatrystycznego Sergiusza Chorużego ze szczególnym naciskiem na jego oryginalną koncepcję teorii ascezy (teorii energoform). Bazuje ona na źródłach patrystycznych, ale zdradza także inspiracje ustaleniami współczesnej filozofii zachodnioeuropejskiej, zwłaszcza myślą Martina Heideggera i Michela Foucaulta. W artykule analizuję główne założenia teorii ascezy Chorużego i komentuję heideggerowsko-foucaultiańskie elementy w niej zawarte. Rozważania na temat ascezy dotykają problemów zarówno typowo filozoficznych — ontologicznych, gdzie przejawiają się inspiracje Heideggerem, jak i historyczno-hermeneutyczne, gdzie widzimy polemikę z Foucaultem. W rezultacie przeprowadzam analizę komparatystyczną Heideggerowskiej i energijnej wizji człowieka, wskazując, że fenomeny życia duchowego, takie jak asceza, mogą z powodzeniem być przedmiotem rozważań teoretycznych oraz pokazać uniwersalność niektórych teologiczno-filozoficznych (ontologicznych) interpretacji kondycji człowieka.
Czy współczesne rozumienie problemu Bożej ukrytości prowadzi do ateizmu?
Authors: Mordarski Ryszard
Published: May 2023

W artykule omówione zostały dwie znakomite prace na temat ukrytości Boga autorstwa Miłosza Hołdy (Źródło i noc. Wprowadzenie do współczesnego absconditeizmu) i Marka Dobrzenieckiego (Ukrytość i Wcielenie. Teistyczna odpowiedź na argument Johna L. Schellenberga za nieistnieniem Boga). Należą oni do tzw. przyjacielskich teistów, którzy usiłują traktować tezę o Bożej skrytości jako ważne poszerzenie problematyki klasycznego teizmu. Wydaje się jednak, że ulegają oni iluzji prowadzenia dialogu z tzw. przyjacielskimi ateistami, wciągającymi teistów w taką interpretację tezy o skrytości Boga, która wydaje się całkowicie sprzeczna z teizmem. Powstaje zatem pytanie, czy współczesne sformułowania problemu skrytości Boga są w jakikolwiek sposób do pogodzenia z chrześcijańskim teizmem?

Autor eseju argumentuje, że podróże w czasie są możliwe, a paradoksy podróży w czasie są osobliwościami, a nie niemożliwościami. Obrona możliwości podróży w czasie wymaga przyjęcia (a) trwających w czasie rzeczy, które posiadają zarówno przestrzenne, jak i czasowe części, (b) psychologicznej ciągłości i łączności oraz ciągłości przyczynowej jako kryteriów tożsamości osobowej, a także (c) rozróżnienia pomiędzy czasem zewnętrznym i osobistym.
Women in Organizations: From Theory to Practice in the United Arab Emirates —Ras Al Khaimah and the Northern Emirates
Authors: Kemp Linzi , Ahmad Norita , Osman Abaker Mohamed , Haque Sabir
Published: May 2023

The goal of this project was to address relatively low levels of career persistence by women in the Arab Gulf states, particularly national and expatriate women in Ras Al Khaimah and the northern emirates. One issue is that women have increasingly enrolled, studied, and achieved undergraduate and graduate degree success in the United Arab Emirates and the wider Middle East region (Blanc, 2016; Miller & Wai, 2015). However, despite the presence of these highly educated women in the labor force, their recruitment, retention, and promotion to middle and senior levels remains relatively low (Rong & Rounds, 2015). If these human resources are not managed effectively, then their talent is lost to an organization, their ability to support their families is decreased, the country loses their economic participation and human development status is reduced. In order to lower barriers to the recruitment and retention of women, more training opportunities and highlighting their achievements in the workplace are needed. We recommend an increase in organizational support through utilizing the multimedia resources at the Virtual Center for Women & Leadership (MENA)

Con el tratado celebrado en Lima el 3 de junio de 1929 y su protocolo complementario se puso fin a la cuestión de Tacna y Arica, azarosa secuela que derivó del Tratado de Ancón del 20 de octubre de 1883. Las cláusulas pendientes de cumplimiento han sido también una azarosa secuela que culminó con la suscripción del acta de ejecución suscrita el 13 de noviembre de 1999 y sus documentos complementarios, aunque todavía queda pendiente la delimitación de la frontera marítima, cuya dilucidación ha sido sometida a la Corte Internacional de La Haya. Con este estudio del significado y la trascendencia del Tratado de 1929 me adhiero al homenaje a Fernando de Trazegnies Granda
Derecho y modernidad en el Perú del ochocientos
Authors: Ramos Núñez Carlos Augusto
Published: May 2023

La ciencia jurídica —entendida como reflexión teórica— carga en nuestro país con un pesado lastre: el positivismo; y lleva consigo un anatema: su carácter insular. Los juristas han preferido desentenderse del contexto social y cultural que rodea, impulsa o detiene la producción normativa o su declinación. Su objeto central de estudio ha sido nuestro ordenamiento legal. Ciertamente, para emprender este análisis no se han servido solo de nuestra estructura legislativa; han apelado también a órdenes normativos de otros países haciendo uso de la «comparación jurídica». Sin embargo, sería injusto atribuirles que la suya ha sido una construcción puramente legal, puesto que la dogmática más autorizada ha recurrido también a la doctrina nacional y extranjera. Muy pocos osaron penetrar en otra de las fuentes formales reconocidas: la jurisprudencia de los tribunales que, de una forma u otra, recogía al derecho vivo. No se aproximaron a ella, ya porque había poco que encontrar (nuestra jurisprudencia no ha sido especialmente fecunda) o simplemente porque la desdeñaban en lo poco que tenía de rescatable. Las reformas que demandaba nuestra legislación se fundaban más en las virtudes de otras legislaciones o en la versación de los autores que en los datos proporcionados por la realidad. El resultado: trabajos preciosistas que buscaban ante todo el mejoramiento de la redacción y de la sistemática defectuosas y que se planteaban el examen de los códigos sin atender a consideraciones «extrajurídicas». De este modo, cuando mucho se lograba captar al derecho desde una de sus perspectivas —valiosa por cierto pero insuficiente—: la dogmática. La experiencia jurídica era, así, empobrecida. Dos de sus dimensiones: la filosófica y la sociológica, resultaban enervadas.

Fear and Resilience: A Modified Consensual Qualitative Research Study of LGBTQ+ Health and the COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Goldbach Chloe , Knutson Douglas , Klooster Dannie , LeForce Savannah , Milton David Cole
Published: May 2023

Many LGBTQ+ people face significant physical and mental health, social, and economic disparities, disparities that have been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Recent qualitative and quantitative research has explored some of the specific ways that LGBTQ+ people have been developing and using resilience strategies during the pandemic, but little is currently known regarding specific pandemic-related stressors unique to LGBTQ+ individuals, social support networks and community resilience developed by LGBTQ+ individuals, and accessibility of both LGBTQ+-specific and general health care needs. The present study was conducted to help address these gaps in the current research literature. As part of a larger online survey on LGBTQ+ people and the impacts of COVID-19, participants (N= 220) were asked a series of open-ended questions about their general and identity-specific concerns, forms of coping, and forms of social support accessed during the COVID-19 pandemic. Using the consensual qualitative research modified method (CQR-M), 31 subdomains grouped under seven main domains were revealed: (1)societal orientation; (2)personal worries; (3)personal maintenance and planning; (4)concerns for close others; (5)source of connection; (6)connection format; and (7)LGBTQ+ affirmative care. The findings in the present study expand research and health provider understanding of unique forms of distress, coping, social support, and community resilience experienced and engaged in by LGBTQ+ people during the COVID-19 pandemic. These qualitative findings can help inform more targeted interventions at individual, community, and public policy levels.
Consommation Des Aphrodisiaques Chez Les adolescents Et Adultes À Kinshasa : Prévalence Et Facteurs Associés
Authors: Ndombe Didier Mbombo , Muleka Ilunga Blandine , F. Manun’Ebo Manuel
Published: May 2023

Une enquête transversale selon un échantillonnage randomisé à plusieurs degrés a été menée en juillet 2020 à Kinshasa. Cette étude auprès des hommes de 15 à 49 ans visait à déterminer la prévalence de la consommation des aphrodisiaques, identifier les produits les plus consommés, les principales raisons et les facteurs associés à l’utilisation. Plus de la moitié de 713 répondants avaient déjà utilisé des aphrodisiaques au cours de leur vie, avec comme principales raisons l’obtention des rapports sexuels prolongés et l’augmentation de l’excitation. L’âge, la fréquence des rapports sexuels et le district de résidence sont les trois facteurs associés à cette consommation. Les hommes de 35 à 49 ans sont 2,53 fois [IC 95 % : 1,20 à 5,31] plus susceptibles de consommer les aphrodisiaques que ceux de 15 à 24 ans. Les participants ayant eu deux rapports sexuels dans les quatre semaines précédant l’enquête courent 4,98 fois [IC 95 % : 3,06 à 8,09] le risque de consommer des aphrodisiaques que ceux qui ont un seul rapport sexuel (la référence). De trois à cinq rapports sexuels le risque était de 10,26 fois [IC 95 % : 6,21 à 16,94] plus que la référence, et à partir de 6 rapports le risque était 8,54 fois [IC 95 % : 4,51 à 16,15]. À part le sildénafil, des ingrédients à base des plantes imbues des boissons alcoolisées sont plus consommés dans un but récréatif. Une campagne d’information et sensibilisation est recommandée pour contrôler au maximum le risque de consommation abusive des aphrodisiaques.
Methods for determining the organic carbon content in soils (critical review)
Authors: Kogut B. M. , Milanovsky E. Yu. , Hamatnurov Sh. A.
Published: May 2023

The paper presents theoretical basis of the methods for determining the content of soil organic carbon (SOC) both by direct dry combustion using automated analyzers and indirectly – by I.V. Tyurin and Walkley–Black oxidation. Author's and literature experimental data of SOC analyses in various soils by these methods are presented. Comparative analysis of the above data showed that in some cases the content of SOC determined by oxidability is lower than the one obtained by dry combustion (in most cases), while in others, on the contrary, the content of SOC is higher. This conclusion fully complies with the theoretical views of I.V. Tyurin on the chemical nature of soil organic matter (SOM). A schematic description of determining the content of total (organic) carbon in non-carbonate soils by dry combustion method using automated analyzers Leco (USA) and AH-7529 (Gomel, Belarus) is given. It was pointed out that it is difficult to determine SOC content by dry combustion method with automated analyzers in carbonate soils. For these soils it is recommended to determine the content of inorganic carbon by decomposition of carbonates with HClO4 solution using express analyzer AN-7529. The direct method of determining the content of SOC has the best metrological characteristics compared to ones of the indirect method, which convincingly confirms the authoritative opinions of Schollenberg and Tyurin about the inaccuracy of the latter. It is concluded that the indicators determined by the methods of Tyurin and Walkley–Black and dry combustion are chemically independent, characterizing, respectively, the oxidability and organic carbon content of SOM. It is recommended to use dry combustion method with automated analyzers when monitoring the content and stocks of organic carbon in soils.

This study aims to explore and identify the medicinal plants used by the Uyelewun local community. It encompasses plant species, multi-aspect utilization, processing methods and how to use, and their medical benefits to heal diseases. This descriptive exploratory study was conducted in May 2019 in six villages, namely Panama Village, Meluwiting Village, Loyobohor Village, Leudanung Village, Balauring Village, and Wairiang Village. These six villages were categorized into three groups: 1) modern village, 2) developing village, and 3) traditional village. Seventy-eight respondents, comprising local villagers, traditional healers, and adat leaders/elders, were selected using purposive and snowball sampling techniques. This study was performed in four stages, viz. 1) survey of research locations and selection of respondents, 2) semi-structured interviews, 3) plant documentation, and 4) plant inventory. The data obtained were then analyzed descriptively using percentages, averages, and content analysis. The results showed that 1) the local community used 82 plant species from 40 families as medicinal plants; 2) the traditional villages had the highest number of medicinal plants (43%), and the modern villages had the highest number of plant species (64%); 3) most plant habit was trees (43%); 4) the majority of plant was from uncultivated/wild plant (55%), obtained mostly from the surrounding environment (55%) and rarely from the beach (2%); and 5) the most consumed part of the medicinal plants was fruits (70%).

As lavadeiras e seus varais repletos de roupas estão presentes em quase todos os períodos da produção de Eliseu Visconti, excetuando-se a temporada de aperfeiçoamento do pintor em solo estrangeiro. As roupas estendidas são “tema absoluto na obra de Visconti, desde antes de seu estágio em Paris e até o último período de sua carreira”2, estando concentradas nas fases inicial e final de sua vida profissional, no Rio e em Teresópolis, respectivamente.
Hélio Oiticica: arte e cidade

Published: May 2023

O final dos anos 1960, no Brasil e em diversas partes do mundo é marcado pelo protagonismo da rua, enquanto local privilegiado para as manifestações artísticas em detrimento dos espaços institucionalizados, como museus e galerias de arte. A produção artística neste período busca vincular a experimentação de linguagem e as possibilidades de uma arte participante como crítica social e política. A rua passa a ser o espaço mais apropriado para as trocas coletivas, e a arte um convite à participação, ao descondicionamento social, como reação à repressão, mas também como crítica à passividade alienante que configura o indivíduo na sociedade capitalista. Neste contexto particular das artes e da política brasileira, destaca-se entre outros artistas, a figura de Hélio Oiticica (1937 – 1980). Este artigo debruça-se sobre o Programa Ambiental desenvolvido por Hélio Oiticica, explicitando o quanto a cidade está presente em seu processo criativo, não como receptáculo neutro, cenário, mas enquanto elemento ativo, campo de ação política.
Trisha Brown e Laurie Anderson: performance como ação política
Authors:   Universidade de São Paulo, Costa Andréia Paulina
Published: May 2023

A relação entre arte e politica se torna fundamental nas produções em meados da década de 1970, quando a cidade se torna um importante suporte das ações artísticas. As conexões entre arte e cidade, criadas através das ações e proposições estéticas possibilitou o uso do espaço urbano de maneira criativa e politizadora. Nas proposições de Trisha Brown e Laurie Anderson o uso da cidade como processo de reflexão se dá através de apropriações espaciais, onde a linguagem corporal da performance se torna crucial, seja na desconstrução de tabus ou na ressignificação do imaginário urbano, as ações dessas duas artistas transformam determinados espaços da cidade em lugares de criação e de reflexão politica.

Introduction: Landfill wastewater or leachate has unique characteristics. Several conventional methods need a few treatment tanks to cover the treatment process. A Sequencing Batch Reactor (SBR) is a biological treatment method that uses a single tank with few-cycle phases. This study aims to determine the potential of a Sequencing Batch Reactor (SBR) that can be used to treat landfill leachate. Methods: A Sequencing Batch Reactor (SBR) was used in this study. The characteristics of leachate served as the basis for the design of the SBR reactor. The synthetic leachate was used to create the reactor feed based on the actual landfill leachate compositions. The reactor's influent and effluent were analyzed based on a few parameter changes, such as Suspended Solid (SS), Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), ammonia nitrogen (NH3-N), and Total Kjeldahl Nitrogen (TKN). Results and Discussion: While the experiment was running, 84% of SS were removed, 88% of COD were removed, a -28% efficiency rate for NH3-N removal, and a -172% efficiency rate for TKN removal. After the withdrawal phase, the supernatant showed promising results with 99% COD removal, 97% SS removal, and 65% TKN removal. Unfortunately, the removal of NH3-N reaches -130%. It indicates insufficient concentrations of MLSS and SRT, as well as the presence of a eutrophication process. Conclusion: SBR shows a promising result for leachate treatment. Few changes in the cycling process were needed for further study, so the treatment process becomes optimal to reach its full potential.

Background: The prevalence of vaginismus ranges from 1-6%, and the ratio becomes 5%-17% in clinical setting, although it varies widely worldwide. The main cause of vaginismus is not known, but is often considered multifactorial. This paper aims to describe the factors that contribute to vaginismus. Case: A 26 years old, married woman, health practitioner presented with the complaint of not being able to have sexual intercourse. About 1 month ago, since marriage, the patient was unable to have sexual intercourse with her husband. The patient feels guilty and anxious because of the inability to please her husband. The patient's father was very dominant and was a "religious" type of parent who always gave advice with religious aspects regarding all matters. The patient's mother was a nervous person and always said that what the father said was a law that had to be obeyed. Likewise, talk about sex is a taboo topic of discussion and is considered embarrassing.  Discussion: Many factors need to be explored related vaginismus. In the case, the biological aspect can be ruled out because the patient has consulted with the ob-gyn doctor. from the psychological aspect; perceptions, attitudes and attitudes towards sex and the values ​​held by parents contribute to vaginismus in this patient. Conclusion: a therapeutic approach which focuses on all aspects promises quite good therapeutic outcomes.
