Écrire le réel par le détail : La question de la figure chez Nathalie Sarraute et Robert Bresson
Authors: GARCÍA RODRÍGUEZ MARITZA BEATRIZ
Published: March 2024

Bien que l’œuvre cinématographique de Robert Bresson et l’œuvre littéraire de Nathalie Sarraute semblent irréconciliables en termes
thématiques et matériels, c’est précisément par une approche négative, par le biais de ce qu’ils rejettent, « la part excédentaire », « ce qui
n’est pas encore assimilé » ni « directement figurable », qu’ils se
rejoignent. Cet article explore les différentes déclinaisons du terme
figure, à partir desquelles on aborde les écrits théoriques de Bresson
et Sarraute, ainsi que leur travail artistique. La figure devient donc la
matière à modeler physique – corporelle et gestuelle –, mais aussi
matière stylistique – dont la forme peut être textuelle-discursive et
filmique. Ainsi, l’esthétique du fragment et l’attention portée au détail
des tableaux de Bresson et Sarraute, composés de morceaux
d’instants qui dispersent le geste, les corps et le discours, dénarrati -
visent le récit et l’image, tout en les évinçant vers le hors-champ
filmique et textuel, l’espace du Réel qui fait émerger la possibilité.
Where Does Pip Migrate to? Unexpected Parallels in Lloyd Jones’s Mister Pip and Adamson’s Mr. Pip
Authors: AICEGA DOLORES , VERNET MERCEDES
Published: March 2024

This article explores the neo-Victorian novel Mister Pip (2006),
written by Lloyd Jones, and Andrew Adamson’s adaptation for the
cinema, Mr. Pip, which was released in 2012. We trace connections
between these works and the Victorian novel Great Expectations by
Charles Dickens (1861). Indeed, the novel and the film can be regarded as ways of (re)discovering and (re)recreating the Victorian
novel. More specifically, we look into the parallelisms that can be established between Dickens’s character Pip and the different characters
in Jones’s novel and Adamson’s film as we explore the intertextual
ties that allow the reader to make journeys between contexts which
are geographically, temporarily, and culturally distant. We also analyze
the metafictional elements in Mister Pip and Mr. Pip in order to account
for the self-reflexive aspects of these works. We show the ways by
which the metafictional strategies employed by the narrative voice reveal the writing process. Jones’s novel and Adamson’s film tell stories
of migration of different sorts (migrating into the past, migrating geographically, migrating socially, and migrating culturally among others). In the following pages we reflect on these migrations in the hope
that we can answer the question “Where does Pip migrate to?”.
Sullivan’s Travels (1941): The American Gulliver or Deconstructing the American Dream
Authors: STOICA LAURA-VICTORIA
Published: March 2024

In my paper, I will focus on the director Preston Sturges’ intervention in the Depression-era comedy, rooted in the satirical format
of Jonathan Swift’s Gulliver’s Travels (1726), in an attempt to highlight
the ways in which his revolutionary approach to narrative and
character undermined the coherence of representations of the
Ameri can Dream. Preston introduced non-linearity and Naturalistic
and Absurdist elements in typical comedy formats (like the screwball
comedy), thus challenging the veracity of American Dream narratives.
Sullivan’s Travels (1941), in which socially conscious endeavors only
prolong social misery and unrest, postpones narrative resolution to
the point of becoming the ultimate deconstruction of the American
Dream. Moreover, Preston Sturges’ movies play with narrative in such
a way as to unravel the constructedness of the American Dream. By
choosing to foreground moral ambivalence over clear-cut categorizations, his films delight in the characters’ misadventures without
passing moral judgment. Rooted in genuine feeling rather than prescribed reactions, Sturges’ movies lend a paradoxically empathetic
skepticism to the interpretation of the American Dream, privileging
humanity over stereotype.
Identity: The New Final Frontier. Singularity and Multitudes in The Very Pulse of the Machine
Authors: IOSIF ȘTEFANA
Published: March 2024

This article deals with the question of identity and individuality
as explored in Michael Swanwick’s short story, The Very Pulse of the
Machine, and its subsequent adaptation into a short animated film. The
story follows the surviving explorer Martha Kivelson in her attempt
to save herself after an accident on Io, while also dragging the lifeless
body of her partner, Julier Burton back to their lander. Our aim is to
unearth the potentialities of the dissolution of individual identity
boundaries, followed by the joining with the singular mega-consciousness, while also employing a feminist reading of the text as a safe
haven for womanhood and the female expression of commonality.
The genre of science fiction offers us the appropriate medium for
such daring considerations and interrogations, liberating both the authors of the texts, as well as the reader from traditional gazes and expectations. Our sight is thus turned to the treatment of identity as
the new final frontier, where limitation and glass ceilings are shattered
in a new understanding thereof.
Performance of the Asset Management Companies in the US
Authors: Rompotis Gerasimos
Published: March 2024

This paper seeks to identify the factors that may affect the financial performance and stock return of Asset Management Companies (AMCs) in the United States. The study focuses on a sample of fifty listed AMCs and uses data for the four years 2019-2022. Financial performance is computed as Return on Assets, Return on Equity, and Return on Capital Employed. Stock return is calculated with monthly and annual stock price data. Liquidity, solvency, and efficiency factors are used as explanatory variables, along with the size of the companies. The results show that the financial performance is negatively related to the debts-to-assets ratio. The opposite relation is found for stock return. The impact of the debt-to-equity ratio on performance is positive. This is also the case for assets turnover, net cash flow-to-assets ratio, and size.

Abstract
This research paper aims to trace the shar’i perspectives that control fatwas, and consider them with an interest-based viewpoint to develop proposals for general shar’i frameworks to codify fatwas. The study answers the following questions: What are the jurisprudential perspectives for codifying legal fatwas? What are the interests and evils of it? What are its aspects? What is the closest approach to overcoming the evils and getting the interests?
The study has adopted an analytical inductive approach. It contributes to presenting a set of recommendations for a guiding law for the fatwa that fulfil interests and avoid evils. The study suggests ways to control the fatwa process and limit its deviation. It contains two sections. The first is balancing the interests and evils and visions to overcome the negatives and the problems surrounding them. The second is the jurisprudential perspectives to control fatwa with examples of some practical experiences and suggested models of the legal control of fatwa in Islamic countries.
Keywords: fatwa, codification, odd, interests, evils, guiding law.

Published: March 2024

La agroecología es un término que tiene una potencia epistémica o emancipadora, en cuanto que es capaz de crear nuevos conocimientos y miradas alternativas a la visión que impone el capital del mundo y la naturaleza. Las cuatro experiencias que se analizarán en este artículo, se ubican de alguna forma en lo que se da por llamar los procesos de transición agroecológica. Si bien, este término en principio está asociado fuertemente al desarrollo de prácticas agropecuarias y pone el foco en  elementos productivos, ecológicos y tecnológicos que puedan ser útiles para avanzar en el procesos de transición agroecológica, se hace necesario ampliar las dimensiones a otros niveles vinculados con la vida cotidiana de los actores que llevan adelante dichas prácticas. Precisamente el presente trabajo busca aportar elementos para comprender las formas que pueden asumir las transiciones agroecológicas, a partir de cuatro experiencias en marcha que se ubican en la provincia de Santiago del Estero, Argentina. Como aporte final, se identifican las principales dimensiones que son transversales a las mismas y resultan de gran importancia para el acompañamiento de los procesos de transición y el posterior diseño de alternativas sociales, económicas, ecológicas y/o técnicas.
A inserção do modelo de Reforma Agrária Assistida de Mercado na agenda governamental brasileira / The insertion of the Market Assisted Agrarian Reform model in the brazilian government agenda / La inserción del modelo de Reforma Agraria Asistida por el Mercado en la agenda gubernamental brasileña
Authors: Ferreira de Almeida Rodrigues Paula Valéria , Vaz de Moura Joana Tereza
Published: March 2024

A Reforma Agrária Assistida de Mercado foi instituída no Brasil em 1997, pelo governo Fernando Henrique Cardoso, em aliança com o Banco Mundial e tinha como objetivo principal diminuir os conflitos e reduzir a pobreza rural. A região Nordeste foi escolhida para implementação inicial da política por se tratar de um espaço com maior concentração de pobreza. Assim, este artigo objetiva entender como este modelo emergiu na agenda agrária brasileira, bem como levantar as questões inerentes ao seu processo de adoção. Utilizou-se a abordagem qualitativa a partir da análise documental e embasamento teórico na Teoria da difusão de políticas. Os resultados mostram que a RAAM foi inserida na agenda agrária na 1ª gestão de Fernando Henrique Cardoso (1995-1998) num contexto de prescrições de referenciais globais neoliberais e adotado num período de intensa efervescência de conflitos e ocupações rurais, cujo modelo foi adotado para minar a atuação dos movimentos sociais da luta pela terra e neutralizar a pressão social.

Published: March 2024

Depending on the length of the cotton growing season, the area of cultivation and its highest productivity potential are determined, and the prompt ripening of raw cotton allows for home-grown harvesting and high-quality soil preparation. The purpose of this study was to identify samples adapted to the conditions of the Southern Steppe of Ukraine from the cotton gene pool. The study used methods of plant variety expertise: phenological observations, morphological studies, and evaluation of breeding material for valuable traits. Based on the study results, parental components were selected to expand the process of forming early-ripening forms and productivity of raw cotton. The ability of cotton plants to grow in extreme conditions of the Southern Steppe of Ukraine was assessed and its homogeneity or stability, the index of growing conditions, the coefficient of variation – the difference in the numerical values of the trait duration of the period “germination – beginning of flowering” of plants in varieties with different growing season and their fluctuations around the average value were determined. It was found that according to the determined plasticity (bi), the variance of stability (Si2), and the coefficient of variation of the duration of “germination – the beginning of flowering” higher tolerance to environmental factors was characterised by ultra-early ripening varieties. The average regression coefficient (bi ) was -0.36; the variation in the duration of the period by year was 10.1%, which is significantly lower compared to early-ripening varieties – -0.77% and 12.9%, mid-ripening varieties – -0.80% and 15.0%, and late-ripening varieties – -1.30% and 16.6%, respectively. The maximum average productivity to frosty raw cotton of 49.4 g/plant was formed by the sample Pidozerskyi 4 (UF0800003), the duration of the period “germination – beginning of flowering” was 47 days, and “germination – full ripening” – <103 days. The lowest raw cotton productivity of 21.2 g/plant was demonstrated by the late-ripening sample Joloten 32 (IU14056549) of Turkmen selection, the duration of the growing season of which was 145 days on average over the years of research. The findings of this study will be used in further breeding to create high-yielding cotton varieties with increased environmental plasticity and stability and highquality fibre

Published: March 2024

Aim: The aim of this study is to compare the extent of ovarian endometriosis diagnosed at preoperative staging with subsequent perioperative findings. Definition of discrepancies observed according to the #Enzian 2021 classifi cation. Material and methods: The cohort includes 62 patients of reproductive age with preoperative findings of ovarian endometrioma. Patients were divided according to the #Enzian 2021 classification into subgroups (O1, O2 + O3) with unilateral and bilateral findings. The percentage concordance of preoperative and perioperative findings was evaluated. Results: In the evaluation of ovarian involvement, the preoperative ultrasound diagnosis shows almost 100% agreement with the findings on the ovaries during surgery. Periadnexal adhesions were predicted preoperatively in only half of the cases. The difference in laterality was confirmed with T3 involvement in the O2 + O3 subgroup. In the bilateral involvement, the finding of the presence of grade 3 adhesions was doubled. An association of ovarian form of endometriosis (O2–O3) with deep infiltrating endometriosis of the small pelvis was observed in 50% of the cohort. Conclusion: The ovarian form of endometriosis is associated with the occurrence of other endometriosis lesions in the small pelvis. In this study, it was confirmed that preoperative staging underestimates the extent of endometriosis in the small pelvis. In the surgical management of ovarian endometriosis, extensive adhesive process should be expected. Key words: staging classification – #Enzian 2021 – discrepancy – endometrioma – ovarian form of endometriosis
Occurrence of acute retrobulbar hemorrhage during birth

Published: March 2024

Objective: Presentation of acute retrobulbar subperiostal hemorrhage (hematoma) in the course of delivery. The occurrence, possible threats and recommended methods of treatment are described. Introduction: Acute retrobulbar hemorrhage is always a serious condition. Even if not connected with other ocular trauma, it could cause permanent blindness. The reason is based on constriction of the eye, decreasing of the blood supply and thus disruption of the oxygen supply to sensitive retinal tissues. After a short time, these tissues start to deteriorate and lose their natural function. This event is often connected with exophthalmia and diplopia. The primary diagnostic procedure is to measure intraocular pressure (IOP). Even if the ideal diagnostic tools are not accessible, performing a lateral canthotomy (event. with inferior cantholysis) is recommended to relieve IOP in acute situations. Normal intraocular pressure is considered to be 8–21 mmHg. Case report: Our 29-year-old female patient was in the second stage of delivery and suddenly got retrobulbar hemorrhage, resulting in exophthalmia and diplopia. Her baby was delivered shortly after the event. The following delivery course was normal, including her perineum repair and puerperium. Our patient was fortunate because her visual acuity and IOP were normal. Therefore, we chose an observational treatment strategy. After 5 weeks, we noted successful disintegration of the hematoma and decreased exophthalmia and diplopia without other consequences. Conclusion: We described retrobulbar subperiostal bleeding in our patient in the course of delivery. We depicted possible threats that could result in blindness and described recommended methods of treatment. Even if such a situation is extremely rarely, we believe that knowledge of these guidelines could help medical professionals broaden their treatment options. This particularly occurs when a trained eye surgeon is not available. Key words: retrobulbar hemorrhage – diplopia – orbital compartment syndrome – lateral canthotomy – cantholysis – intraocular pressure

Objective: The aim of this study was to determine how often changes the stage of the tumour in definitive histology against preoperative clinical stage in patient cohort with diagnosed endometrial cancer. Methods: We evaluated prospectively a cohort of 166 patients with endometrial cancer. They all underwent abdominal hysterectomy, bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, sentinel lymph node biopsy. Patients with high-risk tumours also pelvic lymfadenectomy. We collected data of preoperative diagnostic biopsy and postoperative definitive histology. The data were statistically processed. Results: Detection of sentinel lymph node was successful in 71.1%, bilateral successful detection was in 40.6%. Discrepancy of tumour grade between preoperative biopsy and definitive histology was generally 31.4%. Upgrading of the tumour was in 22 (14.4%) cases, downgrading in 26 (17%) cases. Upgrade from low-risk to high-risk group of tumours was noticed in eight cases. Histopathological tumour type changed in 6.6%, 4.6% moved to histopathologic high-risk group. The tumour stage changed in definite histology in 57.3%, in 19.2% of cases moved from stage low/intermediate-risk group to intermediate-high/high-risk disease group. Conclusion: Correct assessment of preoperative clinical stage and histological grade of endometrial cancer is burdened with a high inaccuracy rate. A lot of cases is up-staged after surgical staging and moved to intermediate-high/high-risk disease group. Results confirm the importance of oncogynaecologic centre II. evaluation of histopathology findings from diagnostic biopsies made in referring hospitals. Sentinel lymph node biopsy should be performed even in clinically low/intermediate-risk disease group. Key words: endometrial cancer – tumour stage – tumour grade – sentinel lymph node detection

Published: March 2024

Soil stabilization is any process which improves the physical properties of soil, such as increasing shear strength, bearing capacity etc. which can be done by use of controlled compaction or addition of suitable admixtures like cement, lime and waste materials like fly ash, phosphogypsum etc. The cost of introducing these additives has also increased in recent years which opened the door widely for the development of other kinds of soil additives such as plastics, bamboo etc. This new technique of soil stabilization can be effectively used to meet the challenges of society, to reduce the quantities of waste, producing useful material from non-useful waste materials. Use of plastic products such as polythene bags, bottles etc. is increasing day by day leading to various environmental concerns.Therefore the disposal of the plastic wastes without causing any ecological hazards has become a real challenge. Thus using plastic bottles as a soil stabilizer is an economical utilization since there is scarcity of good quality soil for embankments. This project involves the detailed study on the possible use of waste plastic bottles for soil stabilization. The analysis was done by conducting plate load tests on soil reinforced with layers of plastic bottles filled with sand and bottles cut to halves placed at middle and one-third positions of tank.The comparison of test results showed that cut bottles placed at middle position were the most efficient in increasing strength of soil. The optimum percentage of plastic strips in soil was found out by California Bearing Ratio Test and using this percentage of plastic, plate load test was also performed. The size and content of strips of waste plastic bottles have significant effect on the enhancement of strength of the soil].
DIAGNÓSTICO DE LA TASA DE EXTRACCIÓN DE BOVINOS Y DE LA INFRAESTRUCTURA DE SACRIFICIO PARA LA INCLUSIÓN ECONÓMICA SECTORIAL EN BOCAS DEL TORO, PANAMÁ
Authors: Sánchez-Galán Enrique A. , Cedeño Celia C. , Chacón Edgar , Moreno Carlos
Published: March 2024

Un diagnóstico de la Tasa de Extracción Coyuntural (TEC) de ganado bovino y de la infraestructura de sacrificio animal fue realizado en la provincia de Bocas del Toro, empleando análisis de datos, grupos de discusión, entrevistas y observación directa. Se encontró que la TEC de ganado bovino disminuyó de 18.84 % a 6.42 % desde el 2000 hasta el 2019, a pesar del aumento de las existencias de ganado de 35 400 a 48 100 durante el mismo período. Se evidenció la necesidad de establecer una planta de sacrificio para procesar la oferta de animales bovinos de la provincia, en condiciones de higiene, inocuidad y valor agregado. Se estima que unos 7 200 bovinos por año, producidos en Bocas del Toro, son sacrificados fuera de la provincia debido a la falta de infraestructura adecuada. Los productores de ganado bovino asumen costos de transporte y mermas, debido al traslado de los animales para su sacrificio hacia otras regiones distantes, lo que causa efectos adversos para la inclusión económica sectorial de la provincia.

Se utilizó la raza Pelibuey como línea materna y las razas Dorper y Katahdin como líneas paternas. Se utilizaron 20 animales machos, 10 PD y 10 PK. Los animales fueron manejados en sistemas de producción estabulado. Los corderos PD presentaron mayor peso al final del engorde, ganancia diaria de peso, peso en canal y rendimiento de la canal en comparación a los corderos PK (p<0,05), sin embargo, no hubo diferencias significativas (p>0,05) en el peso al nacimiento y destete entre los cruzamientos. Con relación a las variables morfológicas, animales PD tuvieron mayor ancho de cabeza, perímetro toráxico, ancho de pecho y grupa en comparación a los corderos PK (p<0,05). Mientras que los corderos PK presentaron mayor alzada de cruz, alzada de grupa y longitud corporal con relación a PD (p<0,05). No obstante, la longitud de cabeza y perímetro de caña no mostraron diferencias significativas (p>0,05) entre los cruces. Los modelos Brody y Von Bertalanffy presentaron mejores ajustes para modelar la curva de crecimiento de los corderos PD y PK, con R2 ? 0,98. Se encontró correlación lineal positiva alta entre el peso vivo y perímetro toráxico (r=0,98) en ambos cruzamientos.  En conclusión, los corderos F1 PD presentan mejor desempeño productivo y características morfológicas adecuadas al biotipo con aptitud para producción de carne.

Authors:   , Kheswa Sanele Lungani
Published: March 2024

The popularity of lean manufacturing mostly stems from empirical evidence that it enhances a company's competitiveness and quality by reducing any form of waste. However, a wide range of factors, compounded by a lack of training in essential components of lean, not achieving daily target in terms of defects per unit, straight delivery rate, run ratio, operation ratio in production lines, delay of parts from the inventory, developing personnel, and managerial support on the shop floor, make the application of lean principles extremely difficult. These difficulties have influenced South Africa's manufacturing industry, which contracted the capacity of manufacturing units in the entire Sub-Saharan African region. The purpose of this study was to assess lean manufacturing practices (LMPs) and the extent to which Toyota South Africa Motors (TSAM) utilises innovative strategies to improve their quality and sustainability in a highly competitive environment. The research methodology is mixed method in nature using a survey questionnaire as the primary instrument for data collection. A sample of 44 top management staff was chosen from a population of the 50 top management and other selected staff using random sampling, of these 44, 35 participated. The researcher followed five stages in the qualitative data analysis process. SPSS software version 27 was used to critically analyse the quantitative data to answer the research aims and objectives. Management was found to be aware of the elements that influence quality in TSAM. The staff members cited lack of training, lack of management support, and failure to follow standardised work as the most important factors affecting lean. Selected staff also raised the issue of sacrificing quality over volume as a key issue.
