REFLECTIONS ON STUDYING RIGHT-WING EXTREMISM IN THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY
Authors: McVeigh Rory
Published: January 2024

Looking back on my thirty years of research about right-wing extremism in the United States, I offer several principles to guide how our field approaches conservative activism in these perilous times. First, I discuss how the causes of right-wing movements are different from other movements. Their goals center on preserving privileges that are slipping away, rather than fighting for privileges historically denied to constituents. This key difference forces us to reconsider the causal role of grievances in the emergence of collective action. Second, rightwing movements are about power. Power is most effective in maintaining dominance when it is not visible. Right-wing mobilization signals a failure to maintain dominance in ways that conceal exploitative relationships. Third, power devaluation theory provides guidance on specifying ways that threats and grievances lead to right-wing mobilization. Finally, the status component of Weber’s class-status-power trinity is especially relevant for understanding the rise of rightwing movements. My current research considers how socially constructed status hierarchies of race, gender, sexual orientation and gender identity, citizenship, and religion shape the contours of political divisions in American politics. Apropos of the last point, findings demonstrate the importance of status-preservation goals in structuring political behavior. In the near future it seems that such goals will continue to animate right-wing extremism and pose a threat to democratic governance and efforts to generate equality and a more peaceful world.
The Officers of the Citizen’s Militia and Public Security Apparatus in 1944–1956 in the Light of Own Studies – a Collective Portrait in a Comparative Perspective
Authors: Dudek Justyna
Published: January 2024

The Citizen’s Militia and security apparatus functioned under a single ministry – the Ministry of Public Security. They had a different remit but worked together on many occasions. The article talks about the officers of the two institutions in a comparative perspective. The text is based on statistical summaries compiled by the Ministry of Public Security in the 1940s and 1950s. The Ministry of Public Security’s own studies have shown little difference between the statistical militiaman and officer of the Security Office. In the 1950s, militiamen were characterized by much poorer education and a higher percentage of those declaring religious practices. There were also far fewer women in their ranks. Despite this, the security apparatus officers treated the militiamen as someone inferior, and regarded the transition to the Citizen’s Militia as a demotion.

Authors: Bajerowska Anna
Published: January 2024

Transdisciplinary concepts have a particular cognitive value: they enable us to cross disciplinary boundaries and to establish new categories of the explored reality. This paper attempts to analyse conceptual relationships within the transdisciplinary concept attractors of self-evaluation which emerged at the intersection of social psychology and systems theory The analysis is based on the Conceptual Blending Theory. The genesis of the concept as well as salient relationships and cross-space mappings have been presented. Furthermore, explicative cross-space connectors in transdisciplinary knowledge transfer have been identified and described.
The Importance of Personality Psychology in the Study of Prosocial Consumer Attitudes – Implications for Research in the Field of Socially Responsible Marketing
Authors: Rutkowska Anna , Kozłowski Wojciech
Published: January 2024

Theoretical background: This article is based, regarding the theoretical foundations, on selected issues of behavioral economy and economic psychology, which question the classical assumptions of the homo oeconomicus concept and the standard approach to studying the consumers’ attitudes and behaviors. Purpose of the article: The system of individual and socially shared consumer values undergoes evolutionary changes in the modern, turbulent socio-economic reality. The thesis has been put forward that in the post-pandemic realities, because of the re-evaluation of given values, psychological factors play an increasingly important role in shaping pro-social consumer attitudes, and the consumer’s personality largely determines favorable attitudes towards socially responsible marketing initiatives. The article is conceptual in nature. It provides a theoretical background for the authors’ planned empirical research. The main objective of this paper is to define the new research areas for socially responsible marketing, in which personality psychology could play a significant role in identifying consumers’ pro-social attitudes. Research methods: Given the need for an interdisciplinary approach to studying consumers’ pro-social attitudes, a review was conducted of the literature on the subject concerning the behavioral economy and economic psychology, with a special emphasis on the issue of personality. Main findings: The literature studies and observation of the socio-economic reality aimed at identifying new direction of empirical research in socially responsible marketing. Four main research areas were proposed to which the appropriate marketing types were assigned: post-COVID reality (social marketing and cause-related marketing); healthcare (social marketing); the reality of war (social marketing and cause-related marketing; ecology – green marketing). The empirical studies based on personality psychology in the areas indicated above could refer to the concept of goal-oriented behavior psychology and the Five Factor Model.

Introduction and objectives: Nicotine is well known to be an addictive compound of tobacco, but it is not primarily carcinogenic. It is metabolized to cotinine, which is considered the best marker of tobacco exposure. Little is known whether recurrence rate of bladder cancer is related to nicotine metabolites eliminated in urine. We aim by this study to evaluate the relation between urinary cotinine level and the recurrence of bladder cancer. Materials and Methods: Between January 2018 and June 2022, a cross sectional study was conducted. Enrolled patients were smokers already diagnosed with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer, treated by resection only, and presenting for a follow up cystoscopy. Included patients had unchanged smoking habits in the day before the procedure, same ethnicity (Caucasians) and no additional professional exposure. Cotinine level was measured on a sample of voided urine before cystoscopy. Tumor recurrence was considered positive independently from the histological type, and was assessed by direct vision cystoscopy. Patients were considered moderate or heavy smokers depending on the level of cotinine in their urine samples (< or > 550 ng/ml respectively). A Fisher Exact Test was used to assess the relationship between variables. Results: A total of 135 patients was included. Mean age was 64 years (range 36 to 78). The mean duration of smoking was 30.3 years. Urinary cotinine level was > 550 ng/ml in 80 patients (59.26%) and < 550 ng/ml in 55 patients (40.74%). Recurrence was identified in 70 patients (51.85%) and was absent in the remaining 65 (48.15%). Recurrence was observed in 68.75% of the heavy smokers and in 27.27 % of moderate smokers. Cotinine level higher than 550 ng/mL was linked to an increased risk of bladder cancer, with a relative risk of 4.16 (p-value < 0,025). Conclusion: High urinary cotinine levels (>550 ng/ml) conveys a 4 folds’ risk for the recurrence of bladder cancer in smokers. Additional prospective studies are needed to better understand the relation between urinary cotinine levels and bladder cancer, and its usefulness in bladder cancer surveillance.
Paradigm Shift to Promote a Revolution of Treatment of Schizophrenia to Achieve Recovery
Authors: Keim Walter
Published: January 2024

Active schizophrenia is characterized by psychotic symptoms that can include delusions, hallucinations, disorganized speech, trouble with thinking, and a lack of motivation. The introduction of antipsychotics in the 50ties was called a revolution for the treatment of schizophrenia and psychosis and is now a cornerstone of treatment. The effects are considered well documented. Guidelines suggest that all patients be offered antipsychotics. Nearly all patients are medicated. Concerns have been raised about non-responders, and there is no evidence for long-term effects. The validity of the diagnosis of schizophrenia according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual Mental Disorders (DSM) is controversial and discussed. Patients experience side effects and low benefits and try to stop. This is considered non-conformance, which can lead to relapse. Therefore, caregivers consider medication necessary and use forced drugging. Antipsychotics reduce psychotic symptoms. New patient laws in many countries aim to promote recovery. The United Nations Special Rapporteur on the Right to Health has called 2019 for «World needs a "revolution" in mental health care». "There is now unequivocal evidence of the failures of a system that relies too heavily on the biomedical model of mental health services, including the front-line and excessive use of psychotropic medicines, and yet these models persist". However, this proposal is highly controversial for clinicians. World Health Organization (WHO) followed up 2021: “New WHO guidance seeks to put an end to human rights violations in mental health care”. "This comprehensive new guidance provides a strong argument for a much faster transition from mental health services that use coercion and focus almost exclusively on the use of medication to manage symptoms of mental health conditions to a more holistic approach that takes into account the specific circumstances and wishes of the individual and offers a variety of approaches for treatment and support". This is highly controversial; however, the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) supported the WHO proposal with a guideline to reform legislation in order to end human rights abuses and increase access to quality mental health care. A realistic path to implement WHO treatment improvements seems to need the courage of legislators to follow OHCHR suggestions and a shift of paradigm.
Radiofrequency Neurotomy for Sacroiliac Joint Pain: Twelve Month Outcomes and Comparison Between Two Techniques
Authors: Wright Robert , Block Jon
Published: January 2024

Background: Radiofrequency neurotomy (RFN) is an effective treatment option for patients with severe sacroiliac joint (SIJ) pain. Aims: We evaluated the 12-month clinical outcomes between patients (n=93) having RFN of the lateral branches of S1-S3 compared to patients (n=89) undergoing the same procedure augmented with RFN of the L4 medial branch and L5 dorsal ramus. Methods: This was a retrospective chart review. Following diagnostic intra-articular anesthetic injections and multi-site multi-depth lateral branch nerve blocks to establish SIJ pain, patients underwent bipolar ablation of the S1-S3 lateral branches using the Nimbus multitined electrode. The second group of patients underwent supplementary monopolar RFN of the L4 medial branch and the L5 dorsal ramus. Pain severity and global Pain Disability Quality of Life Questionnaire-Spine (PDQQ-S) scores were obtained prior to RFN and at 12 months. Results: There were 61% and 59% average 12-month improvements in SIJ-related pain severity and global PDQQ-S scores, respectively, in the overall study group (P<0.001 for both comparisons). Efficacy was moderately better for patients with augmented ablation that captured the L4 medial branch/L5 dorsal ramus. For example, 12-month average pain reduction was 54% and 66%, and PDQQ-S improvement was 56% and 62% for patients treated with S1-S3 lateral branch RFN and the augmented RFN procedure, respectively. The percentage of patients exhibiting ≥ 50% improvement in pain severity at 12-months was 73% (68 of 93) and 88% (78 of 89) (P=0.016) for the same study groups. Conclusion: RFN of the S1-S3 sacral lateral branches using an anatomically accurate bipolar strip lesion technique produced a sufficient lesion topography to provide highly significant pain reduction and improvement in PDQQ-S at 12-months follow-up. Including the L4 medial branch and L5 dorsal ramus in the RFN treatment protocol may offer more complete denervation of all afferent pain pathways and provide additional clinical benefit.

Published: January 2024

Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) is a cereal rich in soluble dietary fibres, and antioxidant and bioactive compounds. Ayurveda reported its use as a therapeutic food. Being a rich source of functional ingredients, it has the potential to be incorporated for nutritional enrichment. Still, there are certain limitations to its use. The present study first time analyses the effect of different processing methods recommended in Ayurveda on variation in its composition and permeability. The hulled barley was processed namely dry roasting, roasting with cow ghee and roasting after overnight soaking in Triphala decoction. Further evaluated for proximate composition, in vitro anti-glycation and permeability of soluble fibres. A variation in proximate composition was seen in all processed forms. Soluble fibre content was maximum in hulled barley. The β-glucan of hulled barley was 39.41 mg/g, which was increased up to 62.22 mg/g in dry roasted barley. All processed forms exhibited inhibition of glycation, which was maximum with Triphala-soaked barley. Processing improved the permeability of soluble fibres, which was maximum with dry roasted form (54%). Dry-roasted barley showed improvement in almost all analyzed parameters. Hence, it can be explored further to facilitate the use of barley as a dietary supplement.

Published: January 2024

Background: Bell’s palsy is a sudden and unexplained condition characterized by temporary weakness or paralysis of one side of the face or the areas supplied by the facial nerve, resulting from the paralysis of the peripheral facial nerve. It can be caused by various factors varying from trauma, infection, ischemia, or inflammation that affects the seventh cranial nerve. In Ayurveda, Bell’s palsy can be compared to Ardita Vata, a condition described within the realm of Vatavyadhi Chapter mentioned in various Samhitas and its treatment has also been explained in detail in Samhitas. Aim and Objectives: The effectiveness of different Kriyakalpa techniques, as well as oral medication, was studied and observed in detail in this medical study by investigating a patient with Acute Bell’s palsy. The main goal was to assess the outcomes of these interventions which is a much better option than Allopathic steroids. Settings: A fresh case of Bell’s palsy that had occurred only 24 hours ago was treated at the outpatient Department of Shalakya Tantra OPD at Dr. D. Y. Patil College of Ayurved and Research Centre, Pimpri, Pune. The patient’s condition was evaluated before and after receiving the prescribed treatment. Treatment Plan: The individual received Mukhabhyanga (facial massage) with Mahamasha oil, Nadi Sweda (sweating therapy) with Dashamoola herbal decoction fumigation, Marsha Nasya (intranasal treatment) with Panchendriya vardhana oil, and Netratarpana with Ksheerabala oil for seven days in addition to Shamana medication for one month. Result: Significant progress was noted according to the House-Brackmann scale. Following 15 days of therapy, the scale decreased from IV to III, and subsequently to II and I after the 30th day of monitoring. Conclusion: This study demonstrates encouraging and speedy outcomes of Ayurvedic therapy by taking into account factors of Vatavyadhi, particularly Ardita Vata, without exhibiting any complexities.

Published: January 2024

Millions of people worldwide experience Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs), which rank among the most widespread bacterial infections. UTIs are a common health issue, particularly among women and certain populations. Escherichia coli is the most frequent pathogen, causing 75-90 % of UTIs. Timely diagnosis, appropriate treatment, and preventive measures can help reduce the burden of UTIs and minimize complications associated with these infections. In order to address this issue, classical formulations are mentioned in Ayurvedic texts. In the current study, hydroalcoholic extracts of Emblica officinalis (Amalaki) and Berberis aristata (Daruharidra) were prepared. The antimicrobial activity of the extracts and their combination was evaluated by establishing their Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) and measuring the zone of inhibition. The combination of Amalaki and Daruharidra with honey shows significant inhibition of E. coli which is comparable with tablet Norfloxacin. This study suggests that Emblica officinalis (Amalaki) and Berberis aristata (Daruharidra) can be used in Mutrakrichra associated with Mutradaha in the context of urinary tract infections.

This study aimed to explore the ability of Solanum nigrum (S. nigrum) to stimulate hair growth. In this study, we investigated the effectiveness of two different extracts named methanol and petroleum ether from S. nigrum when applied topically. Hair loss was induced in Swiss albino rats by subcutaneously administering testosterone for 21 days. The extract was applied at the same time to assess its ability to prevent hair loss, and various measures such as follicle density, anagen/telogen (A/T) ratio, and skin section histology were monitored. Finasteride solution was used as a standard for topical application. The group treated with petroleum ether extract of S. nigrum showed noticeable hair regrowth, evidenced by increased (A/T) ratio, follicle density, and positive results in skin sections. The study’s findings suggest that the petroleum ether extract derived from S. nigrum shows potential in treating hair loss induced by testosterone in experimental animals.

Este artigo apresenta uma metodologia paraestimar, ainda na etapa de projeto, a distorção harmônicatotal da corrente injetada na rede elétrica por inversores fonte de tensão de dois estágios. Como tais inversores operam em malha fechada, a qualidade da corrente injetada na rede elétrica é altamente dependente da dinâmica das malhas de controle. Assim, é necessário focar em uma abordagem que modele o comportamento da corrente injetada na rede considerando as perturbações em malha fechada. A abordagem proposta possibilita a derivação de uma equação para prever o comportamento da corrente injetada na rede e estimar sua distorção harmônica, tornando-se uma importante ferramenta para otimizar o projeto de inversores conectados à rede. Para validar a acurácia da metodologia desenvolvida, são apresentados resultados experimentais em diferentes cenários de operação.

This article presents in detail the process of derivation as a result of which prepositional phrases are transformed into nouns. Special emphasis is laid on the relations between the nominal part of word-formation base and a derivative. In connection with this, two main groups of derivatives are distinguished. The first one comprises such words as e.g. bezrobocie, dorzecze, przedwiośnie, poddasze, podgardle, ubocze whose creation involves a change of the basic noun’s paradigm. The second group includes words such as bezsens, poplon, przedświt, przedpołudnie, zagranica in which the basic noun’s pattern of declension is not changed. In its derivative the basic noun has nominative form irrespective of its syntactic relationship to the preposition with which it was connected in the prepositional phrase.

Published: January 2024

Background: To investigate the therapeutic effects of a combination of citric acid and Se-NPs against carbon tetrachloride (CCl4)-induced renal damage in rats. Methods: Twenty-four rats were divided into three groups (n=8 each). Group 1 (control) received the vehicle, while Group 2 received a single dose of 1 ml/kg CCl4 in liquid paraffin (1:1 volume) via intraperitoneal injection. Group 3 was administered a single dose of 1 ml/kg CCl4 in liquid paraffin and then treated twice a week for three weeks with a dose of 2.5 mg/kg Se-NPs. One-way ANOVA and Tukey’s method were used to compare the overall effects of each treatment. Result: CCL4 elevated MDA levels and decreased GSH levels in group 2 animals compared with those in the control group. Se-NPs significantly restored the oxidative stability in group 3. We found that CCL4 significantly increased its effect on renal function, whereas Se-NPs restored the renal structure affected by CCL4. As a result, Se-NPs can potentially reduce the markers of renal injury caused by CCl4, while also restoring oxidative stability and renal structure and function.

El sistema de transporte del área metropolitana de Buenos Aires frente a las políticas neoliberales. 30 años después
Authors: Redondo Solange Paula
Published: January 2024

Los sistemas de transporte son en las ciudades actuales, un elemento clave para garantizar el derecho a la ciudad y a la movilidad, porque la expansión de las grandes áreas metropolitanas obliga a un alto porcentaje de la población a desplazarse para acceder a los bienes y servicios que necesitan. Las políticas neoliberales implementadas en la Argentina desde mediados de 1970, tuvieron un fuerte impacto en el transporte urbano, que pasaron de ser provistos por el estado, al sector privado. Esto cambió la lógica de provisión y manejo de los servicios de trasportes del Área Metropolitana de Buenos Aires, ya que las empresas priorizan sus ganancias, entonces se redujeron miles de km de vías férreas y el deterioro del autotransporte: reducción de las frecuencias, los recorridos y la calidad de las unidades de traslado y el incremento constante de los precios de las tarifas.

Serta menganalisis materi dan tugas untuk mencapai CPMK MPP. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode deskriptif analitis dengan instrumen penelitian berupa kuesioner yang disebarkan secara online dengan bantuan google form. Sampel dalam penelitian ini adalah 58 mahasiswa calon guru Program Studi Pendidikan Fisika Universitas Lampung. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa mahasiswa sudah memiliki kemampuan untuk berkomunikasi serta berkolaborasi dalam tugas kelompok, namun baru sebagian kecil yang memiliki kemampuan berpikir kritis dan kreatif jika menyelesaikan suatu permasalahan kasus penelitian pendidikan. Selain itu mahasiswa masih kurang berpartisipasi aktif saat diskusi kelas, dikarenakan kurangnya pemahaman akan materi yang dibahas. Hal ini disebabkan oleh belum tersedianya bahan ajar dan media pembelajaran yang tersusun secara sistematis sesuai dengan CPMK, study kasus yang dibahas bukan contoh penelitian pendidikan. Analisis materi dan tugas yang dikembangkan diperoleh rincian lima bab yang dicapai untuk enam sub-CMPK MPP.  Berdasarkan hasil analisis kebutuhan ini, dosen perlu mengembangkan bahan ajar dan media pembelajaran berupa modul digital yang terintegrasi dengan keterampilan abad-21, yaitu critical thinking, collaboration, creativity, dan communication guna mendukung tercapaikan IKU 7 program MBKM.

Published: January 2024

A legislação brasileira sobre o uso e descarte de fluidos de perfuração de poços marítimos foi construída visando ao aumento contínuo à proteção ambiental. Em 2018, foi publicada a Instrução Normativa nº 1/2018 (IN nº 1/2018) pelo Instituto do Meio Ambiente e dos Recursos Naturais Renováveis (IBAMA) instituindo novas práticas a serem adotadas pelas operadoras. Contudo, a IN nº1/2018 foi suspensa em 2019 por divergências jurídicas apontadas pela Agência Nacional do Petróleo, Gás Natural e Biocombustíveis, o que ocasionou a retomada das normas anteriores à sua publicação. O Princípio da Proibição do Retrocesso Ambiental foi utilizado para a análise da avaliação da ocorrência de retrocesso, após a suspensão da IN nº 1/2018. O objetivo deste artigo é apresentar a evolução da legislação referente a fluidos de perfuração, quanto à ocorrência de retrocesso, nos princípios constitucionais de proteção ao meio ambiente e suas consequências. Foram analisados: Leis, Decretos, Resoluções, Notas Técnicas, Instruções Normativas, atos administrativos e jurisprudência, avaliando a natureza da suspensão IN nº1/2018 e os aspectos jurídicos e sociais quanto à sua aplicabilidade, concluindo pela manutenção das condições atuais de proteção ao ecossistema marinho.

Evaluasi kemajuan tambang dilakukan dengan membandingkan rencana bulanan (montly plan) dengan hasil survey akhir bulan. Tujuan dari evaluasi kemajuan tambang untuk menjamin operasi penambangan yang dilakukan terkordinasi dan sesuai dengan target yang direncanakan. Rencana penambangan triwulan ke-IV pada tambang bijih besi dengan rencana luasan bukaan tambang 10,99Ha, rencana kedalaman elevasi level 575 mdpl dan rencana volume 134.462 bcm. Berdasarkan hasil pengolahan data diperoleh kemajuan tambang luasan bukaan 3 bulan sebesar 71% seluas 7,79 Ha, kemajuan tambang kedalaman 90% dari elevasi awal 582,3 mdpl ke elevasi akhir 575,7 mdpl, dan kemajuan tambang berdasarkan volume count truck 26% sebanyak 35.456 bcm sedangkan berdasarkan survey 32% sebanyak 43.512 bcm. Faktor yang mempengaruhi kegiatan penambangan tidak sesuai rencana meliputi: penggunaan alat yang tidak sesuai dengan rencana, fleet penambangan, cuaca, dan penuhnya tempat penyimpanan ore sehingga, dibutuhkan penambahan alat mekanis supaya sesuai dengan rencana dan pengolahan bijih besi diperbanyak untuk mengantisipasi penuhnya tempat penyimpanan ore.

PT. XYZ is a company engaged in coal mining contractors located in East Kalimantan. During mining activities, PT. XYZ uses an open-pit mining system. In February 2023 PT. XYZ had a production target overburden of 193,700 bcm, but in reality, the production target only reached 119,529 bcm.. The productivity of the conveyance and loading equipment is by field conditions to be compared with the company's production achievement targets. The research method used is a quantitative method where this research takes data directly and interviews in the field. The results of the calculation analysis, the production of means of conveyance dumptruckIVECO 350 reached 27.17 Bcm/hour, dump truck ISUZU GIGA FV285 reached 22.16 Bcm/hour, andarticulated dump truck VOLVO A40G achieved 54.57 Bcm/hr. Production of the Sanny SY330H excavator truck reached 178.63 Bcm/hour and the XCMG X370CA excavator reached 154.09 Bcm/hour. The amount of production of the actual means of conveyance that was achieved was 193,700 Bcm/hour. The parameters that affect the amount of production of a tool both hauling and loading, namely circulation time, tub or bucket capacity, amount of filling, fill factor, and material expansion factor. However, based on field observations by the author, there are several additional factors such as the type of weather factor and the condition of the mine road or ramp. In addition to the weather factor, road conditions that are far from the existing standard size will affect the amount of production of a tool.

Pengaruh Pengaruh Penggunaan Metode Aachen Assisted Leaching Pada Pelindian Emas Di Balai Besar Pengujian Mineral Dan Batubara Tekmira
Authors: Lestari Zan Adinda Puspita Tri , Mirahati Riria Zendy
Published: January 2024

Balai Besar Pengujian Mineral dan Batubara tekMIRA merupakan badan layanan umum masyarakat yang menangani pengujian mineral dan batubara. Lembaga penelitian ini bergerak berdasarkan keinginan dari pelanggan. Salah satu project yang dilakukan adalah menguji persen ekstraksi bijih emas sulfida dengan menggunakan metode Aachen Assissted Leaching (AAL). Penggunaan metode ini dilakukan sebelum proses pelindian atau yang dikenal dengan proses pre-treatment pelindian emas. Proses ini menggunakan reaktor Aachen, kinerja dari reaktor ini adalah dengan meningkatkan kadar oksigen terlarut atau Dissolved Oxygen (DO) sebanyak 20-30%. Kandungan mineral pengikut pada bijih emas sulfida seperti silika dan sulfur akan mengakibatkan proses pelindian tidak optimal karena sulit dihilangkan tanpa pre-treatment khusus.  Cara kerja kadar oksigen terlarut pada pre-treatment ini adalah dengan mengikis lapisan film fluida pengotor. Semakin menipis lapisan film fluida pengotor akan menjadikan reaksi sianidasi pada proses pelindian semakin cepat sehingga dapat meningkatkan persen ekstraksi pelindian emas. Sebagai pembanding didapatkan juga sample Basecase yang merupakan slurry bijih emas yang tidak dilakukan pre-treatment Aachen Assisted Leaching (AAL). Penggunaan Aachen Assissted Leaching (AAL) dapat memberikan alternatif sebagai metode pre-treatment pelindian emas yang optimal, hal tersebut ditunjukkan hasil persen ekstraksi pada sample Aachen Assissted Leaching (AAL) mencapai 98%. Hasil tersebut memiliki perbedaan yang cukup tinggi dengan sample Basecase dengan persen ekstraksi 93%.
O sionismo cristão no Brasil do século XXI e os interesses em jogo
Authors: Machado Maria das Dores Campos , Mariz Cecília Loreto
Published: January 2024

Com base em entrevistas, observação de evento e informações de sites políticos e religiosos, analisamos diferentes iniciativas de atores coletivos e individuais – evangélicos e israelenses – que contribuem para a construção de uma cultura política pró-Israel na sociedade brasileira. Um dos nossos objetos de análise foi a instalação, em 2023, no Senado Federal do Grupo Parlamentar de Amizade Brasil – Israel, existente no Congresso Nacional. Por ter se tornado lócus importante de ativismo dos cristãos em favor do governo atual de Israel, esse grupo é também espaço de disputas entre os atores religiosos de diferentes igrejas. Além das tensões entre seus membros, nossa análise evidenciou interesses de parlamentares desse grupo por viagens à Terra Santa. Também foram identificadas iniciativas dos últimos governos de Israel visando o apoio dos evangélicos brasileiros ao estado de Israel. Inspiradas pela sociologia weberiana, discutimos os interesses materiais e ideais tanto dos evangélicos quanto do Estado de Israel e das redes transnacionais para fomentar o sionismo cristão no Brasil. Concluímos que, como fenômeno multifatorial, o sionismo cristão no Brasil se reconfigura e responde a interesses materiais e ideais, tanto das lideranças religiosas brasileiras, quanto de setores empresariais e da elite política do moderno Estado de Israel.
De “palácio dos artistas” a “falso brilhante” das políticas patrimoniais
Authors: Nascimento Matheusa Silva , Oliveira Lysie dos Reis
Published: January 2024

O presente escrito analisa as transformações nas relações entre o cine teatro Jandaia, construído em 1911, e sua circunvizinhança em seus 111 anos de história. Chamado “Palácio dos Artistas” no período de sua reinauguração em 1931, o Jandaia chega no começo dos anos 2000 abandonado e, como muitas edificações do sítio urbano tombado do Centro Antigo de Salvador (CAS), sem função social. A análise da trajetória do cine é dividida em dois momentos. No primeiro propomos uma leitura da simbiose entre a construção da memória social e o esquecimento do CAS no que tange seus cinemas de rua, para tanto, recortamos três fases as quais consideramos marcantes na trajetória do cine teatro denominadas “entreter”, “gozar” e “orar”. Já no segundo bloco, utilizando da pesquisa empírica em direito, sinalizamos uma possível contradição da eficácia dos instrumentos e legislações urbanísticas e patrimoniais que incidem diretamente e/ou indiretamente na salvaguarda desse bem cultural tombado em ações concretas de preservação, já que o cine teatro Jandaia está em situação de ruína urbana, próximo de tombar ao chão da rua.
