Parteiras em conexão: um perfil socioprofissional das associadas ao Sindicato das Parteiras do Rio de Janeiro, 1950-1980
Authors: Silva Tânia Maria de Almeida , Ferreira Luiz Otávio
Published: May 2021

A abordagem do caso da sindicalização de parteiras no Sindicato das Parteiras do Rio de Janeiro tem por finalidade apresentar um perfil sócio-profissional de uma parte importante do grupo das parteiras diplomadas que exerciam a profissão na sociedade brasileira entre as décadas de 1950 e 1980 do século XX. O Sindicato das Parteiras do Rio de Janeiro se constituiu como entidade de representação exclusivamente feminina no âmbito das profissões liberais reconhecidas pelo Ministério do Trabalho. A organização do grupo através da sindicalização fazia parte das estratégias políticas legitimadas socialmente, no sentido de salvaguardar a identidade profissional e preservar o prestígio social adquirido ao longo de décadas de atividade profissional. As fontes documentais utilizadas para a pesquisa não constituem um acervo extenso, nem tampouco submetido a tratamento arquivístico, contudo, as informações obtidas nos possibilitou ampliar o conhecimento e enriquecer o debate em torno das representações profissionais e sociais do grupo, em perspectiva histórica.
A Varíola nos tempos de Dom Pedro II
Authors: Gurgel Cristina Brandt Friedrich Martin , Rosa Camila Andrade Pereira da , Camercini Taise Fernandes
Published: May 2021

Ao assumir o trono em 1840, D. Pedro II comprometeu-se a consolidar um país novo e repleto de problemas, que incluíam os cuidados à saúde de sua crescente população. Dentre os flagelos presentes estava a varíola. Possivelmente originária da Índia, em sua marcha galopante a doença alcançara o Novo Mundo a bordo de caravelas e galeões. Vitimou a população colonial brasileira em surtos recorrentes que se perpetuaram durante o período imperial. A despeito da descoberta da vacina e dos esforços governamentais, a varíola foi uma das responsáveis pelos altos índices de morbi-mortalidade brasileira durante o século XIX. Insinuou-se no flagelo de uma seca avassaladora no Ceará; matou em São Paulo, que vivenciava através da  comercialização do café, um progresso jamais experimentado; e contribuiu para um panorama ainda mais triste nos sangrentos campos da Guerra do Paraguai. A luta contra a varíola mostrou-se inglória no Brasil Império. A grande extensão territorial e conseqüentes dificuldades de comunicação, além de uma grande resistência popular, contribuíram para o fracasso da vacinação, cujas repercussões seriam sentidas no século XX.

Authors: Sophia Daniela Carvalho
Published: May 2021

O trabalho analisa a trajetória do Centro Brasileiro de Estudos da Saúde (Cebes) no período compreendido entre os anos 1976 e 1986. Seus integrantes dedicaram parte do seu tempo a divulgar propostas para a transformação do quadro sanitário nacional, apresentando cenários para a reformulação da política de saúde. Privilegiam-se, nessa tese, os membros do Cebes que pensaram e atuaram nas questões relativas à formulação da Política de Saúde. Esse estudo atém-se à análise da revista Saúde em Debate, periódico do Centro, devido à relevância que teve na área ao longo dos dez anos de publicação, até a consagraçãodo Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS) na VIII Conferência Nacional de Saúde. A revista foi escolhida como fonte e como objeto de estudo, procurando-se compreender seu papel na articulação entre os pesquisadores e a agenda da Saúde Pública brasileira. Um dos enfoques adotados se relaciona à participação dos pesquisadores e da comunidade acadêmica, em sua atividade de divulgação, por meio desse periódico. A pesquisa detém-se em avaliar como desenvolveram esse aspecto de suas atividades e dar a conhecer o público ao qual se dirigiam. Objetivamos apresentar uma visão mais abrangente da Saúde em Debate: o perfildos articulistas; os temas mais frequentes; os assuntos priorizados; e os autores que mais publicaram na década em questão. Com isso, pretendemos mostrar a relevância da publicação no processo que se convencionou denominar como Reforma Sanitária. Mostramos que,mais do que um meio de divulgação, Saúde em Debate se constituiu de fato em um ponto de convergência de múltiplos interesses e meio importante para a formação e conformação do Sistema Único de Saúde.

Implementation of Preference Selection Index Method in Decision Support System for Selecting School Inventory Users
Authors: Saragih Doris Yolanda , Sinaga Kalvin
Published: May 2021

This study aims to solve the problem of using a limited inventory of supporting media for learning at SD 096782 Tumorang Huta Dua Tumorang school, Gunung Maligas District, Simalungun Regency. The limitations of school inventories in the use of instructional media must be distributed to teachers so that they can be used in teaching. Therefore, the difficulty of distributing school inventory was overcome by implementing a decision support system using the Preference Selection Index (PSI) method. This method uses 6 criteria consisting of: years of service, behavior, performance, attendance, responsibility, and last education. The results of the application of the DSS with the PSI method obtained alternatives that are priority recommendations for school inventory users. The recommendation results obtained from the application of the DSS with the PSI method are Teacher_3 alternative with a final value of 0.8506. The second alternative is Teacher_01 with a final score of 0.8190 and the third alternative is Teacher_07 with a final score of 0.7846.
Influence of Lead Nitrate on Sulfurizing Flotation of a Copper-Cobalt Oxide Ore
Authors: MUANDA Meschack Mukunga , OMALANGA Pele Pascal Daniel
Published: May 2021

Copper-cobalt oxide ores contain several minerals that are economically treatable by concentration techniques. The most used technique is froth flotation in which selective reagents are used to recover more valuables. It is, therefore, important to examine the optimal doses of those reagents while investigating the behaviors of minerals at the same time. This study explored the influence of lead nitrate Pb(NO3)2 on the froth flotation of oxide ore to increase valuable metals recoveries. Four factors were investigated including Pb(NO3)2 dosage, its conditioning, its addition dose in the 2nd fraction, and sulfidiser dosage. Other parameters were kept constant. The optimum was found at 25 g/t of Pb(NO3)2, conditioning together with sodium silicate (Na2SiO3) for 5 min, the addition of 5 g/t of Pb(NO3)2 in the 2nd fraction, and 3,000 g/t of sulfidiser.  Recoveries in concentrates were 79.51 % Copper (Cu) and 60.27 % Cobalt (Co), with grades of 9.49 and 0.67 %, respectively. The conclusion was that the use of Pb(NO3)2 can considerably improve copper and cobalt recoveries.
Controlling the Velocity and Kinetic Energy of an Ideal Gas: An EWMA Control Chart and Its Average Run Length
Authors: AREEPONG Yupaporn , SUNTHORNWAT Rapin
Published: May 2021

An ideal gas is a gas in the form of a particle or molecule. Its velocity and kinetic energy are interesting topics in several studies in physical chemistry. This research aims to evaluate the average run length based on the exponentially weighted moving average statistic for its molecular velocity and kinetic energy of Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution. Derivation of the integral equation, which is equal to the average run length and numerical method of the integral equation, was applied to evaluate the average run length of a gas molecule’s molecular velocity and kinetic energy. The Trapezoidal rule as numerical method and its error was analyzed for approximation of average run length. The findings showed that the average run length of molecular velocity decreased in the higher temperature with the given mass of the molecule. Moreover, there was a decrease in the average run length of molecular kinetic energy in the higher temperature.

Authors: de Macedo Janicleia Maria Moraes , Araújo Edilson Pinheiro , Araújo Jose Lincoln Pinheiro
Published: May 2021

Solidary Economic Enterprises (SEE) comprise the sustainable management of natural resources, participatory management, solidary economy, the consolidation of partnerships, in addition to the valorization of local, non-profit knowledge. However, they need studies that substantiate their social responsibility, preservation of the environment, sustainability of the production and commercialization networks. Through the Social Report, the Accounting Science can contribute to the interaction between entities with the community. The aim of this study was to present a Social Report model capable of showing actions intrinsic to the Solidarity Economy with a focus on sustainability. This is a qualitative study of the literature review type. Based on the information obtained, a model was built, which summarizes essential information for the Social Report, which can be applied by SEE, in particular, by Agricultural Cooperatives. The proposed measures point to elements common to the Environmental Performance Accounting Reports, but which expand and qualify the understanding of social, cultural, environmental and economic issues present in the SEE. It is concluded that the study’s outcomes can guide the consolidation of accounting evidence, in addition to creating promising structures for the exchange of ideas between the Sociological Approach to Accounting and the Solidarity Economy and support for stakeholders in the evaluation of these enterprises.

Authors: Bose Anusree , Basu Sayan
Published: May 2021

Financial literacy is essential for enabling people to make right financial choice. The term financial literacy refers to the set of skills and knowledge which enables an individual to make an effective decision regarding the financial resources. Hence financial literacy can be considered as a part of the elementary education system and as essential as the others day to day basic items. According to the OECD/INFE framework, measuring financial literacy essentially encompasses financial knowledge, financial attitude and financial behavior necessary to make sound financial decisions and ultimately to achieve individual’s financial well-being. Therefore, Financial Literacy is requisite for financial inclusion. On the other hand, Digitalization in financial sector has resolved the whole scenario and consequently digital literacy become as essential as the financial literacy to make sound financial choice in the digital financial era and also has a great impact on financial inclusion. If awareness regarding the digital products and services are increased, the usage level would also shoot high which ultimately bring a significant change in the inclusion level and thus contributing towards the economic growth of the nation. The present study is basically intended to evaluate the financial literacy of the teachers of different colleges in Kolkata on the basis of age by applying the OECD/INEF Toolkit and further this paper is focused to compare the level of financial literacy on the basis of gender and educational departments of the colleges by applying the unpaired t-Teste & One Way ANOVA at 5% level of significance.

La cubierta es uno de los elementos arquitectónicos más influenciado por los factores climáticos de cada región donde se emplaza. La relación de este elemento con el clima ha sido esencial para definir su morfología y materialidad. Por tanto las características de las cubiertas dependen de su ubicación geográfica, las mismas adquieren una gran variedad que van desde las cubiertas nórdicas con grandes inclinaciones, hasta las cubiertas de paja toquilla en el Ecuador. Cabe destacar que, sólo hasta final del siglo XIX las tipologías de los edificios han sido guiadas por el clima local y la búsqueda del confort del usuario (Dollfus, 1954). El eje central de esta investigación es la cubierta, contextualizado en la Región Costa del Ecuador, donde se abordan diferentes estrategias bioclimáticas, tanto formales como materiales, para reducir el sobrecalentamiento de la cubierta, y por ende reducir el disconfort interior del usuario y la demanda energética en esta región.

Published: May 2021

External credits have been received from various sources including bilateral and multilateral arrangements but the country’s debt is a source of worry since the projects for which these loans were contracted cannot finance the credit facilities. This paper focused on the impact of external debt on economic growth in Nigeria within the period of 1980 to 2016. Thus, secondary data on gross domestic product and external debt were sourced from CBN statistical bulletin and debt management office fact book. The econometric method of Generalized Method of Moments(GMM) test was used. Priori the GMM test is the Kwiatkowski, Phillips, Schemidt and Shin, (KPSS) unit root test to ascertain the stationarity of the variables. Based on the empirical results; the KPSS stationarity test for each of the series showed that all the variables were stationary at order one as their respective LM statistics was less than the critical value at 5%. The GMM test shows that external debt and economic growth has positive and significant relationship with R2 of 54 percent. Therefore, to achieve long-term solution to the problem of external debts burden, government should stimulate domestic production to liberate the Nigerian economy from the shackles of wants and excessive dependence on external economics, which build up debt. Also, government should avoid unnecessary and unproductive borrowing that will serve as a leakage to the economy. This to a large extent will enhance the growth of the Nigerian economy.
Traditional Referentiality in Felix Khensay's Literary Contribution
Authors: D. Fagsao Jonnelle
Published: May 2021

This paper borrows the concept of traditional referentiality from Oral Traditional Theory and applies it to interpret the songs of Felix Khensayof Bontoc, Mountain Province, Philippines adapted by contemporary pop music enthusiasts as performed by a Bontok band called the Petune and other national choral groups with special kind of improvisation and fusion. It also informs briefly who Felix Khensay as a distinctive Bontokcomposer, his songs written in a Bontok language, his melodic and poetic styles, and patterns, and also the evocative application of his songs that became referentially meaningful in the memories of the Bontok community. The paper then installs traditional referentiality(TR) as a concept framed from the lens of Oral Tradition Theory and anchored on Michael Drout’s Meme Based Approach and applies it to the common songs produced by the Petune band and also as a winning piece of a national choral competition in the Philippines. It also explains and illuminates the operations of anaphoric repetition and pattern-recognition on the musical texts of Khensay’s selected two songs. Through textual analysis, this paper contributes making an initial assessment of Khensay’s songs’ functions viewed as cultural universals in the traditional referents that are significant to the Bontok community.
Die Bindung an die extremistische Ideologie bei jihadistisch motiviertem Extremismus: Ein normenbasiertes Radikalisierungsschema zur Beurteilung der Radikalisierung und Deradikalisierung
Authors: Tydecks Stefan
Published: May 2021

In der Radikalisierungsforschung beschränkt sich die Darstellung von Forschungsergebnissen häufig auf die Auflistung statischer Persönlichkeitseigenschaften. Radikalisierungsmodelle werden oft abgeleitet aus Theorien, die nicht in der Radikalisierungsforschung entwickelt worden sind. Potenzielle Risikomerkmale für Radikalisierungen werden aufgelistet, die zugrundeliegenden psychologischen Mechanismen jedoch kaum spezifiziert. In der praktischen Entscheidungsfindung hat das wenig Nutzen. Notwendig ist ein Modell, das die psychologischen Mechanismen der Bindung des Einzelnen an eine Ideologie abbildet, um den individuellen Radikalisierungsverlauf darstellen zu können. In diesem Beitrag wird aus dem Blickwinkel der Anwendbarkeit und basierend auf der praktischen Erfahrung aus der Beurteilung verurteilter Terroristen ein alternativer Zugang skizziert. Das vorgeschlagene Schema kann den diagnostischen Prozess bei dieser Personengruppe strukturieren und Unterstützung geben, Behandlungsverläufe sowie Prozesse der Deradikalisierung einzuschätzen. Grundlage für die hiesigen Ausführungen sind Angaben aller von 2010 bis 2020 wegen jihadistisch motivierter Delikte verurteilten Strafgefangenen, die nach der Untersuchungshaft direkt in Berliner Strafhaft gekommen sind. Abschließend werden Hinweise zur praktischen Durchführung des diagnostischen Prozesses und zur Gestaltung von Präventionsmaßnahmen gegeben.
Wie soziale Exklusion zu terroristischer Radikalisierung beitragen kann: Ein Überblick mit Fokus auf experimentellen Forschungsbefunden
Authors: Pfundmair Michaela , Mahr Luisa Afra Malin
Published: May 2021

Was treibt Menschen dazu, im Namen einer Ideologie auf extreme Mittel wie Gewalt zurückzugreifen? Vielfach legen theoretische Radikalisierungsmodelle wie auch die Lebensläufe Radikalisierter soziale Exklusion als einen Faktor nahe, der Menschen vulnerabel gegenüber radikalen Ideologien und deren Gruppen macht. Obwohl soziale Exklusion immer wieder als möglicher Risikofaktor der Radikalisierung identifiziert (?) wurde, fehlte dieser Annahme lange eine empirisch belastbare Grundlage, insbesondere im Hinblick auf experimentelle Untersuchungen, die einen Ursache-Wirkungs-Schluss ermöglichen. Der vorliegende Beitrag gibt einen Überblick über die Rolle sozialer Exklusion im Radikalisierungsprozess und setzt dabei einen besonderen Fokus auf die aktuell bestehenden experimentellen Forschungsbefunde. Es zeigt sich, dass soziale Exklusion über deprivierte individuelle Bedürfnisse und eine höhere Ansprechbarkeit gegenüber Gruppenprozessen zu Radikalisierungstendenzen beitragen kann. Hieraus ergeben sich Implikationen für die Radikalisierungsprävention, die sich nicht nur auf einer politischen und gesamtgesellschaftlichen, sondern auch auf einer individuellen Ebene umsetzen lassen.
Zusammenhänge zwischen Gewalterfahrungen, Bedeutungslosigkeit und extremistischen Einstellungen bei Jugendlichen – Eine Überprüfung der Quest for Significance Theory
Authors: Butt Jenny Marina , Goede Laura-Romina , Greve Werner
Published: May 2021

Extremistische Gruppen und Ideologien üben weltweit Anziehungskraft auf überwiegend junge Menschen aus. Angesichts der Gefährdungslage für Gesellschaft und Individuum ist die Nachfrage nach empirisch abgesicherten Erklärungen der Motive für die Hinwendung zu extremistischen Denk- und Verhaltensweisen sowie daraus ableitbaren Präventionsangeboten groß. Die Quest for Significance Theory identifiziert als zentralen Wirkfaktor im Radikalisierungsprozess das Erleben der eigenen Bedeutungslosigkeit (Kruglanski, Chen, Dechesne, Fishman & Orehek, 2009a, 2009b). Die vorliegende Studie überprüft die Annahmen der Quest for Significance Theory an einer jugendlichen deutschen Stichprobe (N = 6715). Als auslösende Bedingungen für den empfundenen Verlust der eigenen Bedeutsamkeit werden Gewalterfahrungen (Diskriminierung, Viktimisierung und elterliche Gewalt) untersucht. In linearen Regressionsanalysen zeigen sich positive Zusammenhänge zwischen Gewalterfahrungen und empfundener Bedeutungslosigkeit sowie zwischen Gewalterfahrungen und extremistischen Einstellungen. Eine mediierende Wirkung von empfundener Bedeutungslosigkeit auf den Zusammenhang zwischen Gewalterfahrungen und extremistischen Einstellungen kann jedoch nicht bestätigt werden. Die Ergebnisse weisen allerdings auf das Erleben von Gewalt als Risikofaktor für Radikalisierung hin.
Religion und Weltanschauung in der Erziehung: verfassungsrechtliche Freiheiten und Grenzen
Authors: Brandt Leon A. , Meysen Thomas
Published: May 2021

Kindererziehung ist ein vielschichtiger durch verschiedene Akteur*innen geprägter Nexus. Im Mittelpunkt steht der heranwachsende Mensch, dessen Recht auf Förderung seiner Entwicklung sowie auf Erziehung zu einer eigenverantwortlichen und gesellschaftsfähigen Persönlichkeit. Das Recht zur Erziehung kommt in erster Linie den Eltern zu, ist gleichzeitig eine Pflicht und hat fiduziarischen Charakter (Art. 6 Abs. 2 S. 1 GG). Die elterliche Erziehung erstreckt sich auch auf politische bzw. religiös-weltanschauliche Fragen, auf die Vermittlung von Werten und Grundhaltungen. Grenzen findet das religiös-weltanschauliche Erziehungsrecht hingegen in seiner missbräuchlichen Ausübung. Zugespitzt lässt sich festhalten, dass unterhalb dieser Schwelle auch eine Erziehung zu extremistischer Weltanschauung oder fundamentalistischer Religiosität grundsätzlich zulässig ist. Verfassungsrechtlich stellt sich die Frage, inwieweit der Staat beziehungsweise die Erziehung in öffentlicher Verantwortung hierauf Einfluss nehmen darf. Das Feld religiös-weltanschaulicher Kindererziehung ist durchwirkt vom verfassungsrechtlichen Gebot staatlicher Neutralität in Glaubensfragen. In seiner deutschen Prägung meint dies keine strikte und vollkommene Trennung von Staat und Glaubensgesellschaften. Vielmehr beschreibt es eine offene, übergreifende, die grundrechtliche Glaubensfreiheit für alle Bekenntnisse gleichermaßen fördernde Haltung. Das Geflecht erzieherischer Kompetenzen zwischen Kind, Eltern und Staat wird damit zwar nicht verändert, aber bereichsspezifisch ausgeformt. Der Staat kann seine eigene Neutralität nur dadurch gewährleisten, dass er allen Bürger*innen gleichermaßen die verhältnismäßig gerechte Ausübung ihrer grundrechtlichen Freiheiten ermöglicht. Nicht nur die Kindeswohlgefährdung ist somit wesentliche Begrenzung des elterlichen Erziehungsrechts, sondern auch die Wahrung der Grundrechte Anderer sowie der Werte der freiheitlich-demokratischen Grundordnung kann ein Einwirken auf Erziehung legitimieren.

La motivación es un aspecto que le permite a una persona realizar una acción dirigida, de manera constante para alcanzar una meta; por tanto, es factor un determinante en la consecución de cualquier objetivo. Es así, como este artículo pretende identificar la relación entre la motivación y el aprendizaje del idioma inglés en estudiantes universitarios, analizando la incidencia de los tipos de motivación en su desempeño académico. A partir de un enfoque de investigación cuantitativo de tipo correlacional, de corte no experimental transversal; con una muestra de 524 estudiantes de dos instituciones universitarias: Universidad ECCI y la Corporación Universitaria Americana, de la ciudad de Medellín. Asimismo, se aplicaron dos cuestionarios, uno de evaluación motivacional del proceso de aprendizaje -EMPA- de 35 ítems, y otro de 22 ítems que tuvo como referencia la batería de actitud y motivación R.C. Gardner, University of Western Ontario. Como resultado se evidenció que existe una relación directa y positiva, con asociación débil entre la motivación y el aprendizaje del idioma inglés.
ANÁLISE HISTÓRICA DO SETOR ELÉTRICO BRASILEIRO: UMA REVISÃO DE LITERATURA
Authors: Quadros Borges Fabricio
Published: May 2021

Este estudo teórico possui o objetivo de analisar historicamente o setor elétrico brasileiro na intenção de favorecer a elucidação dos fatos relativos ao contexto histórico e às estratégias geopolíticas e socioeconômicas consideradas pelo governo federal ao longo da história. A metodologia possui natureza teórica, apoiada em levantamento bibliográfico e documental. O estudo foi dividido em três etapas a saber: dos primórdios da política energética brasileira até 1985; entre 1986 e 2002; e entre 2003 e 2020. A investigação concluiu que a evolução histórica do setor elétrico brasileiro foi balizada em políticas imediatistas, que visavam a geração de PIB a curto prazo, e em grandes empreendimentos hidrelétricos, que ao mesmo tempo em que procuravam atender as demandas crescentes de energia elétrica, impactaram negativamente por meio de prejuízos aos aspectos socioambientais.
Introduction: What Can Be Queer and What Can Queer Be?
Authors:   InterAlia Editorial Board
Published: May 2021

This heterogeneous issue of InterAlia works hard to stretch the meaning of queer in unexpected ways. While it includes the Spanish translations of seminal queer studies essays by Lee Edelman and David M. Halperin, it also contemplates the queerness of the figure of the smoker, the music made by an egg slicer, the adult who refuses to renounce childhood, the talking pine tree that spins a melodramatic tale of the Weimar Republic, and the Montana-born writer who learned her immigrant husband’s language – Ukrainian – well enough to be recognized as a poet in Ukraine, then came out as a lesbian, and went on to publish the first American bestseller about gay men. This issue of InterAlia also worries about the condition and prospects of queer studies in various places, and about the commodification of queer identities as a consequence of feeding preferred gender pronouns and other personal data into the global information economy. Finally, this issue probes the perennial question of the apparent absence of a ground for community among self-identified queers, who have nothing in common but their singular desire. What, ask the contributors to this issue, can queer be/be queer politically, philosophically, aesthetically?

"PHARMACY DRUGS" IN RUSSIA (BASED ON MATERIALS FROM THE MOSCOW REGION)
Authors: Igumnov S.A. , Iskandarov R.R. , Arkus M.L.
Published: May 2021

The article reviews current problems related to mono - and combined use of medications (Tropicamide, Pregabalin ("Lyrica")). The article presents statistics on the detected use of medicines in 2016-2019 in Moscow for non-medical purposes. A review of domestic and foreign studies of the clinical aspect of consumption of these substances is conducted. A number of acute regulatory and legal problems related to the turnover of drugs in the pharmacy chain are highlighted. The authors conclude that, given the recent increase in the number of people abusing Tropicamide and Pregabalin, strict prescription control over their release in the pharmacy chain should be recommended. Caution should be exercised when prescribing these drugs for therapeutic purposes.
PREVENTION OF ADHESIVE DISEASE OF THE ABDOMINAL CAVITY: THE CURRENT STATE
Authors:   Belarusian State Medical University, Kluyko D.A.
Published: May 2021

Today, adhesive disease of the abdominal cavity is a disease characterized by a high risk of postoperative complications, a significant level of disability and the likelihood of death. The purpose of the article was to analyze the literature on the etiology, pathogenesis of abdominal adhesive disease, the results of prevention and treatment of this disease and its complications. It was found that at the moment there are no methods for the prevention of adhesive disease with proven effectiveness, and the proposed methods are often multidirectional, based on the subjective vision of the problem by the researcher. Analysis of foreign and domestic literature has shown the absence of barrier agents that meet safety requirements and have a significant preventive effect. Thus, there are currently no standard approaches to the treatment and prevention of abdominal adhesive disease. This issue requires further study.

Comprehending the anti-heroine: Scripting order amongst chaos through character archetypes
Authors: Dean Levi
Published: May 2021

The objective of this article is to define the archetypal features of a television anti-heroine to aid screenwriters with the scripting of their own anti-heroine teleplay. Once this has been accomplished the article will present additional secondary character archetypes which are specific to the storyworld of the television anti-heroine. It will explore how archetypes offer ‘systems of meaning’ (Pryor & Bright 2008: 74), providing audiences a necessary entry point of comprehension. Ultimately the archetypes presented could be utilised to guide screenwriters as they work to circumvent chaos and fragmentation while crafting the journey of their anti-heroine. Much of the literature centred on archetypal paradigms is heavily influenced by Joseph Campbell’s The Hero with a Thousand Faces and Christopher Vogler’s The Writer’s Journey. While these texts are of some use, they are inherently gender biased in favour of the hero. Therefore the vast majority of archetypes are not entirely compatible with the heroine, let alone an anti-heroine. It should be noted that the outcomes of this paper have emerged from the author’s scripting of an anti-heroine teleplay, alongside case study textual analyses. To ensure the credibility of conclusions drawn, the article will first provide a short synopsis of their teleplay, Angela.
Does function follow form? Openness and formal association in the early poetry of John Forbes
Authors: Coleman Aidan
Published: May 2021

This article aims to reconstruct features of John Forbes’ compositional process in his first decade of serious practice, through analysing drafts and early versions of his poems. I compare early versions of ‘Here’, ‘The Joyful Mysteries’ and ‘Stalin’sHolidays’ to their final incarnations to show how Forbes was resistant to a fixed, or single, idea when writing a poem. In the context of such openness, Forbes’ poems often moved towards a sense of closure, through the pressure his use of form applied and through its more suggestive qualities. Following a comment Forbes made in an interview, I label this process ‘formal association’. I contend that Forbes sought a balance between closure and openness, while arguing that the dynamic interplay of this openness with formal association, during the composition, was crucial to his achievement.
