Defending Islam Nusantara at the Frontline
Authors: Hamdani Hamdani
Published: August 2021

Since the promulgation of Islam Nusantara in the 33rd congress of Nahdlatul Ulama, Islamic moderatism has been glorified by its advocates as the religious movement in dealing with social and political changes. This moderate ethos has been inculcated to most Indonesian Muslim by many elites, particularly to nahdliyyin (NU people), to distinguish with the radical and conservative trend of religiosity. This study examines the understanding of wasatiyyah among the youth of nahdliyyin which is organized in a new group called the ‘Pejuang Islam Nusantara’ (PIN, Defenders of Islam Nusantara). Triggered by the criticism and black campaign on Islam Nusantara, this community has a cultural mission to explain and respond the complexity of Islam Nusantara to public both online and offline. This study attempts to capture the worldview of religiosity and political standing point of young generation of nahdliyyin confronting with radical Muslim and Islamist groups by the 2019 presidential election. While the campaign for Islam Nusantara as part of moderatism project of Central Board of Nahdlatul Ulama (PBNU) has been challenged by its opponents, the non-structural agents of nahdliyyin takes initiative to strengthen the campaign by cultural events and educative programs. This study focuses on the youth movement in applying and campaigning Islam Nusantara at grass-root level of the changing Indonesian Muslim constellation.
Bahasa dan Kekuasaan dalam Historiografi Islam Marshall G.S. Hodgson
Authors: Soetomo Greg
Published: August 2021

Historian has been preserving a historical unity and continuity as a truth. There is an assumption that history has a ‘constant’. This paper explains and proves otherwise. This writing understands history is in fact filled with various ruptures, differences, and deviations. This uncertainty has taken place when ‘language’ becomes a focus of the study of history.

In his L’Archeologie du savoir (1969), Michel Foucault (1926-1984) rejected the preconception of history as unity and continuity. He believed the history as a journey with various ruptures, differences, and irregularities that reveal uncertainty. This reversal has taken place when language as the focus’ study in the history of knowledge. Foucault has called this method as the Archaeology of Knowledge.

This is the question which this paper is going to respond: “How does Michel Foucault’s archaeology of knowledge, the analytical philosophy of language, elucidate the diversity within Marshall G.S. Hodgson’s history of Islam?”

These three below mentioned questions respectively reflect a three-fold dimension of the  diversity in Foucault’s thoughts as explained in his  L’Archeologie du savoir (poststructuralism-structuralism, postmodernism, and philosophy of history).

First, how does Hodgson, as a structuralist, write the history of Islam by way of developing system of discourses to reveal meaning; at the same time, as a poststructuralist, he reveals incoherence of discourses and its plurality of meanings? Second, how do we understand that the social structure in the history cannot be simply detached from the chains of power as a constitutive dimension of discourse? Third, how do we comprehend, that in every stages of history, they have its distinctive episteme and diversity of thoughts that support the formation of discourses?

This research is essentially to explain the three perspectives of Foucault’s philosophy. At the same time, the three approaches in Hodgson’s writing on the history of Islam are also being explored. Both points of convergence and of divergence have become the whole study of this paper.
الشيخ مختار بن عطارد البوغوري الجاوي ثم المكي (1862 – 1930) والكتب الصونداوية المطبوعة في مكة والقاهرة أوائل القرن العشرين
Authors: Sya'ban Ginanjar
Published: August 2021

This paper examines the history of “Kitab Sunda”, which was written in Sundanese language but with Arabic letter, by Shaikh Mukhtar (1862 – 1930) in Mecca and printed in Cairo and Mecca. While most intellectual works in the Middle East were written in Arabic, there is convincing indication that they were written in non-Arabic language. It is surprising fact that many religious-based works (Islam) were written in Arabic letter, but they used Javanese, Malay and Sundanese. One of important agents of Muslim scholar who purposely used Sundanese language in his work is Shaikh Mukhtar. The writer, born in Bogor (West Java), was a great ulama (Muslim scholar) in Mecca. He was connected with ulama from nusantara and Middle East network in the turn of 19 and 20 century. During the important period, there were some ulama from Sunda who were teaching in Mecca. Some of them wrote books printed in several cities in the Middle East such as Mecca, Cairo and Istanbul. Shaikh Mukhtar is well-known as pioneer of authorship and publicity of Kitab Sunda in Middle East since the early 20th century.  Before this period, religious works of ulama nusantara written in nusantara language and printed in the Middle East, only written in Malay language and Javanese.  In the Middle East, history of authorship of kitab Sunda was initiated by Shaikh Mukhtar. This achievement is important not only to introduce Sundanese language as the intelectual language in the Middle East through his works, but also inspire his disciple to produce intellectual works in their mother tongue. By means of historical and bibliography of region approach, this study traces the role of Suandanese ulama in Middle East in the early 20th century.
Saudi Arabia and Indonesian Networks: On Islamic and Muslim Scholars
Authors: Al Qurtuby Sumanto
Published: August 2021

This article studies Saudi Arabia–trained Indonesian Islamic scholars, both past and present. It also discusses Saudi Arabia’s non-Islamic studies Indonesian Muslim scholars. Since past centuries, Muslims on the Malay–Indonesian archipelago has journeyed to the Arabian Peninsula, especially Hijaz, either for pilgrimage or learning. This legacy continues nowadays. While many alumni of Saudi Arabia’s Islamic educational institutions–formal and informal–have contributed significantly to the development of Islamic and Muslim cultures and education in Indonesia, some chose to stay, teach, and pass away in Makkah. The study shows that, unlike popular beliefs and opinions, Saudi Arabia-trained Indonesian Islamic scholars vary in terms of religious orientations, political affiliations, social networks, and academic backgrounds. For example, some scholars tend to be ultraconservative and militant, while others are inclined to be progressive and moderate. While the presence of Indonesian Islamic scholars has declined significantly in Saudi Arabia since the last four decades, new tiny Indonesian Muslim scholars specializing in non-Islamic studies began to emerge and teach in some universities in the Kingdom. This article, among others, aims at examining the plurality, complexity, and shifting dynamics of Saudi Arabia’s Indonesian Islamic and Muslim scholars as well as their major roles and contributions in the spread and development of Indonesia’s Islam and society.
EFISENSI DISTRIBUSI PENDAPATAN DALAM EKONOMI ISLAM
Authors: Qadir Abdul
Published: August 2021

Transitions between production, distribution, and consumption in an economic system are inseparable from one another. If one of them experiences a problem, it will have an impact on all of them (economic problems occur scarcity), meaning that if one of the three foundations is scarce it will cause problems in the wheels of the economy. creates conflict, this is different from the economic system in Islam, that property should not be controlled by a handful of people or groups in order to have justice and distribution. The purpose of this paper is to find out how the distribution patterns of production in Islam and conventional. Meanwhile, the problem formulated is how the effectiveness of production distribution without having to harm one of the parties, so that the distribution will reach the market which is the meeting place between traders and consumers. The object of this study is focused on how the efficiency of distribution in Islamic and conventional economic systems, while the data used is in the form of scientific works and writings related to distribution, then the data analysis is a descriptive qualitative method. The theory used is related to distribution as Adiwarman A Karim's opinion, which states that justice in the distribution system does not have any parties being judged. The conclusion of the paper is that the efficiency of allocation and distribution of income based on the Islamic perspective can be said to be efficient if it has been fulfilled and there are no parties being judged.

Authors: ADIE Mochammad Muchlish , KRISNAWATI Ayda
Published: August 2021

Seed yield in soybean is associated with other yield components. The objective of the study was to investigate the pattern of relationship between seed yield and yield components in soybean. Agronomic characters and seed yield of 147 soybean homozygous lines (HL) and 3 check cultivars (Dega 1, Detap 1, and Anjasmoro) were evaluated in Banyuwangi (East Java, Indonesia) from April to July 2018. The field experiment was conducted in a randomized complete block design with 2 replications. After threshing, the HLs were grouped into large seed size (> 14.00 g/100 seeds) and medium seed size (10 - 14 g/100 seeds). The causation and inter-relationship between yield components and seed yield were quantified using path analysis. Based on the seed size, a total of 150 HLs was grouped into 97 lines and 53 lines of large and medium seed size, respectively. The correlation analysis showed a similar pattern between groups of large and medium seed size. The seed yield in both groups was highly determined by the characters of the number of filled pods, number of nodes, number of branches, plant height, and wet biomass. The results of path analysis revealed that plant age, particularly the length of the generative phase, was an important factor affecting seed yield in large seed soybean lines. The length of the generative phase determining the soybean yield in this study can be suggested to be used as selection criteria to obtain high yielding and large seed size variety.

Authors: PIMPA Benchamaporn , THONGRAUNG Chakree , SUTTHIRAK Pornpong
Published: August 2021

This research aimed to study the effect of solvents, namely n-hexane and ethanol, on the yield of crude rice bran oil extraction. The effects of extraction temperatures of 50, 60, and 70 ºC and extraction times of 1, 3, 6, 12, and 24 h were investigated. Rice bran composition was determined. It was found that protein, lipid, moisture, fiber, ash, and carbohydrate content were 12.65±0.56, 16.32±0.81, 7.65±0.62, 10.25±0.64, 6.38±0.59, and 46.75 %, respectively. From the results, the rice bran oil yield from n-hexane extraction was significantly higher than ethanol extraction, with p < 0.05. The maximum rice bran oil obtained from n-hexane extraction was 16.23±0.34 %. The highest yield of rice bran oil was obtained from extraction temperature of 60 - 70 ºC for 12 - 24 h. After extraction by the optimum conditions at 60 ºC for 12 h, the rice bran oil was kept for 1, 2, 3, 4, and 8 weeks for investigation of its quality changes. It can be concluded that the optimum conditions for rice bran oil extraction was with using n-hexane as a solvent for extraction at a temperature of 60 ºC for 12 h. Storing oil for 0, 1, 2, 4, and 8 weeks resulted in the increase of free fatty acids (FFA) and peroxide value, whereas iodine value and saponification value were relatively constant.

Bu araştırmada, İsrail'deki Filistinli kadının yeri ve imajı; medeni, hukukî, iktisadî, içtimai ve siyasi hakları ile bu haklarından ne seviyede faydalandığı hususları araştırılmıştır. Konu, örf, adet ve geleneklerin hâkim olduğu toplum bakışı ile hukuk, kadın hakları, kadının korunmasını ihtiva eden uluslararası sözleşme ve antlaşmalardaki hükümler göz önüne alınarak incelenmiştir.Filistinli kadın, bir yönden milli kimlik, Araplık ve Arap azınlıktan olmasından kaynaklanan tüm sorumlulukları yüklenirken diğer yönden de genel olarak Araplara karşı, özel olarak da kadınlara karşı uygulanan ırkçı ayrımcılığın sıkıntılarına tahammül etmektedir. Bunun yanında kadın çalışma haklarına karşı yapılan bir kısım hukuksuzluklarla da karşılaşmaktadır. Bu hukuksuzlukların bir kısmı, Arap bölge ve şehirlerinden sorumlu mahalli yönetimler tarafından yapılmaktadır. Arap bölge ve şehirlerinden sorumlu mahalli yönetimler Arap azınlığa karşı sorumluluk ve görevlerini gereği gibi yapmamaktadırlar. Bu durumlar, kadının işgücü piyasasındaki rolünü etkilemektedir.Araştırmada, sorumlularca, kadınlara çalışma fırsat ve güvencesinin sunulmadığı, kadınlara uygun çalışma ortamlarının hazırlanmadığı, kadınlara uygun toplu taşıma araçlarının temin edilmediği, yanlarında çocukları bulunduğu anlarda dahi gerekli hassasiyetin gösterilmediği, İslam toplumu içerisinde de miras mal taksimi uygulamasında, din ile kanuna aykırı olduğu halde kadına haksızlık edildiği, akrabaları tarafından genç yaşta evlenmeye zorlandığı vb. hususlar tespit edildi.Araştırmada Tavsiye Edilen Hususlar:1. Kadınlar, bilimsel ve insanî ihtisas alanlarında araştırmalara yönlendirilmelidir.2. Kadınlar, eğitim bakanlıklarında öğretmenlik yapmak ve çalışmak amacıyla sadece eğitim ve öğretim alanlarına odaklanmamalıdır. Çünkü, bilimsel alanlarda işsizlik oranı diğer alanlara göre daha düşüktür.3. Arap kadınının siyasete iştiraki ve parlamentoda temsili iyileştirilmelidir.4. Genel olarak kadın haklarını, özel olarak da İsrail’deki Arap azınlığın haklarını savunmak ve kendilerine karşı uygulanan ırkçı ayrımcılığına karşı koymak amacıyla kadınların siyasi partilere katılımları kolaylaştırılmalıdır.

2 Corinthians
Authors: Esler Philip F.
Published: August 2021

In this Social Identity Commentary, Philip Esler provides a comprehensive coverage of the issues and concerns related to 2 Corinthians from the perspective of social identity. Elser outlines his interpretation of the theoretical issues concerned, and then applies this to provide a clear overview of historical and critical issues related to the study of 2 Corinthians. This provides a clear engagement with the text that will serve as a useful resource for scholars, students, clergy, and people interested in the formation and purpose of the letter.

Paul’s second letter to the Corinthians deals with key aspects of the formation of the Christian community at Corinth. Paul uses his correspondence with the Corinthians to address issues of morality, of community structure, of ritual and of religious behaviour. The letter is a key document for understanding the development of Christianity and for understanding Christianity in its earliest context, and Esler proves how 2 Corinthians may be read through the lens of social identity theory.
Introducing a novel chemotherapeutic drug formulated with anthraflavic acid for treating human breast carcinoma and type 2 diabetes mellitus
Authors: Zhao Gang , Chinnathambi Arunachalam , Alahmadi Tahani Awad , Wainwright Milton
Published: August 2021

Introduction

Molecular docking as a versatile theoretical method was used to investigate the biological activities of anthraflavic acid in the presence of -amylase. The outcomes revealed that anthraflavic acid has a considerable binding affinity to the enzyme with a docking score of –7.913 kcal/mol. These outcomes were further evaluated with free binding energy calculations, and it was concluded that anthraflavic acid could be a potential inhibitor for -amylase.

Material and methods

Anthraflavic acid was explored in anti-human breast carcinoma tests. The in vitro cytotoxic and anti-breast carcinoma effects of biologically synthesized anthraflavic acid against MCF-7, CAMA-1, SK-BR-3, MDA-MB-231, AU565 [AU-565], and Hs 281.T cancer cell lines were assessed. In the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay, the anti-breast carcinoma properties of anthraflavic acid could significantly kill the MCF-7, CAMA-1, SK-BR-3, MDA-MB-231, AU565 [AU-565], and Hs 281.T cancer cell lines in a time- and concentration-dependent manner. Also, we used human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) to determine the cytotoxicity potentials of anthraflavic acid using MTT assay.

Results

The IC50 values of anthraflavic acid were 159, 193, 253, 156, 241, and 218 µg/ml against MCF-7, CAMA-1, SK-BR-3, MDA-MB-231, AU565 [AU-565], and Hs 281.T cancer cell lines.

Conclusions

It seems the anti-human breast carcinoma effect of recent nanoparticles is due to their antioxidant effects.
“MEU MAIOR MEDO É DE ME COLOCAR VULNERÁVEL PARA AS PESSOAS”: FORMULAÇÃO DE UM CASO DE ESQUIVA EXPERIENCIAL DE INTIMIDADE
Authors: Araújo Ana Priscila Barroso
Published: August 2021

Introdução: Em uma formulação comportamental, o foco deve estar na funcionalidade dos comportamentos analisados nos contextos em que ocorrem. A identificação de relações de contingências é o que permitirá uma boa compreensão e análise do caso, bem como futuras intervenções pertinentes. Objetivos: Dessa forma, o presente trabalho tem como objetivo a formulação comportamental de um caso clínico de uma cliente cuja queixa envolvia crises de ansiedade e dificuldades nas relações interpessoais. Material e métodos: Assim, para alcançar esse objetivo, a terapeuta buscou ensinar a cliente a vivenciar o momento presente, suas emoções, sentimentos, pensamentos e memórias, contribuindo para a redução de esquivas contraprodutivas. Ou seja, a terapeuta utilizou-se do reforçamento positivo para validar as emoções da cliente, bem como exercícios de Mindfulness (atenção plena) e metáforas com o objetivo de ensinar a cliente a expressar os seus sentimentos de maneira menos aversiva. Resultados: Desta forma, percebeu-se que, em função dos padrões comportamentais da cliente de fuga/esquiva em alta frequência, com poucos comportamentos de enfrentamento dos estímulos aversivos, a terapeuta precisou ampliar o repertório de auto-observação para que a cliente conseguisse discriminar quais são os estímulos que antecipavam as crises de ansiedade para que, assim, conseguisse alterar seus comportamentos para novas consequências, ou seja, a proposta seria que a cliente parasse de evitar a situação aversiva para que ela pudesse justamente deixar as sensações desagradáveis surgirem para que pudesse desaparecer naturalmente, proposta que era bem desafiadora para a terapeuta, considerando a rigidez e a inflexibilidade dos padrões comportamentais da cliente. Conclusão: Diante do exposto, é possível concluir, que integrando a Psicoterapia Analítico-Funcional (FAP) e a Terapia de Aceitação e Compromisso (ACT), a terapeuta gradualmente estava contribuindo para a promoção de melhorias na maneira como a cliente lidava com os eventos de sua vida.

Besides the common respiratory symptoms or viral pneumonia, COVID-19 is also presented with different neurological symptoms. Olfactory dysfunction (OD) or impairment of the sense of smell is one of the common neurological symptoms being reported in infection caused by Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The severity varies from anosmia to microsmia or hyposmia. OD could have a potential early screening and diagnostic value besides other neurological and common respiratory symptoms. In our descriptive concise review, we aimed to elicit the manifestation of olfactory dysfunction as an early predictor of SARS-CoV-2 infection. We are also aiming to establish, OD as a quick and reliable assessment tool of COVID-19 risk, among the healthcare workers and contact tracers, which can justify self-quarantine of the person as well as recommendation for testing on a priority basis. We have also focused on, any effect to produce this symptom by the drug used for treatment in COVID-19, and if the old age of the patient showing any extra influence to develop OD in COVID-19.

A comparative study of glycaemic variability using four different Point-of-Care Testing (POCT) devices
Authors: Dapare Peter Paul Mwinsanga
Published: August 2021

Background: Blood glucose measurement is a way of monitoring changes in glycaemia. Different point-of-care testing (POCT) glucose meters are on the market and hence there is an increase in variability of the results given by these meters. This study sought to measure the glycaemic variability using four different point-of-care glucose meters Methods: Four point of care glucometers namely; Accu-chek performer nano, OneTouch select plus flex, OneTouch Ultra 2 and Easy Check were used test blood samples from a total of 100 patients visiting the collection point of the Tamale Teaching Hospital Laboratory. A chemistry analyzer (Mindray BS 240 fully automated) was used as the reference method. Results: The median (interquartile range), Bland Altman Plot and Regression Equation were used to assess the agreement between the various meters and the reference method. The OneTouch Select plus had the least bias (-0.85) and the the OneTouch Ultra 2 had the highest bias (1.49). The OneTouch select had the best limits of agreement (-2.51 – 0.82) and the OneTouch Ultra 2 had the widest limits of agreement (-1.91 – 4.89) when compared to the reference method. Conclusion: OneTouch Select plus had the best agreement with the reference method and the OneTouch Ultra 2 had the least agreement with the reference method. Blood glucose meters should be used for the monitoring of blood glucose however, it should not be used as a diagnostic tool.

A critical linguistic discourse analysis of participant narratives in the construction of citizenship education at a University of Technology
Authors:   , Reddy Komala
Published: August 2021

This study is concerned with how citizenship education might be seen to take place in Universities of Technology, which are associated with applied knowledge of a technical nature. Higher education is thought to have a role in the nation’s social, moral and spiritual life in transmitting citizenship and culture in all its variety and in enabling personal development for the benefit of individuals and society as a whole. This study explored whether universities of technology do indeed promote a culture of citizenship in order to serve society, and how, by analysing the discourse of educators and students to see how citizenship education might be constructed. The aim was to identify indicators in participant discourse which might be linked to themes occurring in models of citizenship education. It was hoped that analysing participant discourse might reveal which aspects of citizenship were potentially empowering in terms of fostering individually autonomous yet socially conscious citizens. Within a critical linguistic approach, a mixed methods research design was applied, using questionnaires and semi structured interviews and discourse analysis. The discourse analysis involved a content analysis of written texts, and a critical discourse analysis of the transcribed focus group texts. The results of the questionnaires and semi structured interviews yielded indicators of citizenship based on personal values, values relating to social responsibility, and issues relating to the legislature, as enshrined in the South African Constitution. An analysis of the faculty community engagement texts revealed what kinds of ad hoc measures the university was setting in place to foster informal and therefore implicit citizenship education. The critical analysis of student focus group discourse revealed what aspects of citizenship education students were learning informally, as well as to what extent they felt that they were being empowered as self-actuating yet socially conscious citizens of a multicultural democratic country. This study is thought to be of value, as, at the time of the study, the university involved was engaged in a transition between offering informal and implicit options for citizenship education, such as work integrated learning programmes and community engagement projects, and formally curriculating citizenship education into the syllabus in the form of General Education modules, which was still work-in-progress at the end of the study.
A ciritical deconstruction of political discource and symbols : the case of (mis)representation and manipulation in Nigerian politics
Authors:   , Oparinde 'Kunle Musbaudeen
Published: August 2021

Using Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) and Multimodal Discourse Analysis (MDA), this study deconstructs political discourse obtained from the Nigerian political arena. Employing a qualitative research method, where a case-study design is engaged, the study examines linguistic (mis)representation and manipulation in Nigerian political settings, drawing from instances of linguistic and symbolic materials, as observed from different political endeavours. The study discusses the use of language in Nigerian politics, in an attempt to understand how discourse and symbols are used to manipulate the masses, as well as (mis)represent the politicians. I investigate how language is used by politicians to gain more audience, and, as a result, shape opinions that result in votes. Several themes were developed in the analysis. Important themes are represented in a Wordle analysis. The Wordle analysis presents actual keywords that emanated from the scrutinising of collected data. Linguistic items, such as corruption, Boko Haram, insecurity, power, and support, as well as fight, and God among others, are evident in the Wordle representation. The study realized that manipulation in political discourse could be achieved through different means, such as: through service delivery; religion; situation of the nation; and crafty linguistic expressions; along with ethnic influence; and visuals. Furthermore, the research identified the notion of intertextuality as having a strong hold in political discourse through resemiotisation, repurposing, recontextualisation and recycling of texts. I confirmed that power resides within discourse and as such, discourse can be used to achieve several goals. The work demonstrated how politicians exploit political messages to achieve their political aims using both lexical and visual means. I strongly contend that discourse is powerful, and thus, has the ability to exploit and influence people. Importantly, the study proposed a theoretical model or framework for the analysis of misrepresentation and manipulation in political discourse, as well as other forms of discourse.
Political Priorities of Public Administration, Welfare-state and Constitutional Democracy after the 2020-2021 Pandemic
Authors: Teršek Andraž
Published: August 2021

At the time of the official Coronavirus, 2020-2021 Pandemic emergency measures and general restrictions on the freedom of movement and the other fundamental human and constitutional rights and freedoms were and still are in place. The question of what kind of world will we enter after the official end of the Pandemic was quickly raised. The problem of fear intensified. This is not only a social problem but also a legal one: people have a fundamental human right to protection against fear. The absolute short-term priorities of public administration in all EU and Council of Europe Member States will have to be focused on ensuring that fear and anxiety do not become a new epidemic. Concern for the efficiency and quality of the public health system should be strengthened and improved. Including mental health care and suicide prevention, care for the well-being of the elderly and terminally ill, people with disabilities (in general and disabled workers), care for children, especially children with special needs, and care for large, diversified, and quality palliative care. Also, a need exists for a changed and improved legal policy regarding the system of education, scientific research, and employment. Last but not least, care must be taken not to take fundamental human rights and freedoms for granted. The health crisis will result in a new economic crisis. It should not be accepted as the end of the Welfare (Social) State. It is a new opportunity to defend social and economic human rights and to create the common European Welfare State. Right now, new ideas are needed –even crazy ideas. We need a kind of utopia. And faith and hope in it, which will be the driving force of active action. The experience of the Pandemic must not prevent or take this away from us.
Foreign Otherness in Japanese Media. Exploring the Japanese self through the images of Latin America
Authors:   Facultad de Artes y Humanidades, Universidad de los Andes, Forero Montoya Betsy
Published: August 2021

Foreign Otherness in Japanese Media analyzes contemporary Japanese society by examining the ways in which Japanese media portrays Latin America and therefore how Japanese readers construct their idea of it. Offering a detailed methodology and results from field research, and based on concepts such as otherness, cultivation analysis and the theory of the autopoietic social system as a framework, this book considers the impact of mass media on the construction of non-dominant foreign cultural subjectivities in Japan, and explores the dynamics of otherness in the country. As such, it is apt for scholars in Japanese studies, media studies, and anyone interested in the interaction between foreigners or Latin Americans and Japan, or in relations between mainstream society and minority groups.

Published: August 2021

Este artigo objetiva proporcionar uma análise sobre experiências de mulheres nas agroindústrias e seu empoderamento a partir da organização do Roteiro Circuito do Sol no Município de Nova Aurora, com a abordagem do Turismo Rural e Empoderamento Feminino. Os dados foram coletados por meio de pesquisa qualitativa, bibliográfica e documental, entrevistas semiestruturada e visitas nas agroindústrias pertencentes ao Circuito do Sol, na Prefeitura e na Emater. Após a realização das entrevistas e visitas nas agroindústrias, pode-se afirmar que a presença do empoderamento das mulheres organizadas no turismo rural do município de Nova Aurora é visível. Constata-se, com base nos relatos das mulheres entrevistadas, um sentimento de medo no início da atividade, porém de valorização, orgulho e aumento da autoestima pela posição conquistada com o tempo. Os resultados foram obtidos também através da entrevista do Secretário de Agricultura e Meio Ambiente do Município.
PRÁTICAS DE FORMAÇÃO E ATUAÇÃO DO REVISOR DE TEXTOS, UM LEITOR PROFISSIONAL
Authors: Sousa Luciana Rugoni , Clares Letícia Rugoni
Published: August 2021

Quando falamos de revisão de textos como atividade profissional, discutir práticas de leitura, escrita e publicação considerando as novas mídias é indispensável. No que se refere à formação do revisor, essa discussão está atrelada à noção de letramento: de uma perspectiva discursiva, o profissional do texto é chamado a lidar com uma interlíngua, o que requer não só um bom domínio dos usos de sua língua materna, mas também, se não principalmente, da relação entre normas, técnicas e tecnologias mobilizadas nas manobras de edição em diferentes mídiuns. Nesse sentido, propomos aqui algumas reflexões sobre a atuação e a formação do revisor de textos como um leitor profissional.
A LOUCURA, ENTRE O RISO E A SURPRESA
Authors: Curcino Luzmara , De Oliveira Jéssica
Published: August 2021

Resumo: Este artigo objetiva apresentar uma análise discursiva das representações de leitura e do perfil leitor inscritos nos textos de três adaptações do clássico de Miguel de Cervantes “Dom Quixote de La Mancha”, a saber: “Vida e proezas de Dom Quixote” (1964), cujo adaptador é Erich Kästner, “Dom Quixote de la Mancha”, de Terra de Senna (198?) e “Dom Quixote”, do adaptador Orígenes Lessa (1972). Por se tratarem de publicações lançadas em décadas distintas, buscamos apresentar brevemente aspectos do contexto histórico dessas produções, das décadas de 1960 a 1980. Nos dedicamos especificamente a análise de uma estratégia de escrita, relativa à escolha lexical para a designação e qualificação da ‘loucura’, quando ela é referida nessas diferentes adaptações. Nas análises, observamos que houve uma progressiva simplificação lexical no modo como se aborda a ‘loucura’, bem como uma abordagem que se torna mais lúdica. Isso parece refletir uma mudança estrutural da própria escolarização da literatura infantil e juvenil do período, que, com a modernização e expansão do mercado editorial, criou e fomentou uma demanda escolar não negligenciável. Em nossa análise dessas variações lexicais relativas à ‘loucura’, buscamos depreender os efeitos de sentido distintos a cada escolha de sua substituição lexical por sinônimos que lhe equivalessem aproximadamente. Em nossa análise, nos pautamos, de modo geral, em princípios da Análise do discurso (Michel Pêcheux e Michel Foucault) e da História Cultural da escrita e da leitura (Roger Chartier).

Abstract. Aerosol and cloud microphysical measurements were
collected by a research aircraft during August 2019 over the United Arab
Emirates (UAE). The majority of scientific flights targeted summertime
convection along the eastern Al Hajar Mountains bordering Oman, while one
flight sampled non-orographic clouds over the western UAE near the Saudi
Arabian border. In this work, we study the evolution of growing cloud
turrets from cloud base (9 ∘C) up to the capping inversion level
(−12 ∘C) using coincident cloud particle imagery and particle
size distributions from cloud cores under different forcing. Results
demonstrate the active role of background dust and pollution as cloud
condensation nuclei (CCN) with the onset of their deliquescence in the
subcloud region. Subcloud aerosol sizes are shown to extend from submicron
to 100 µm sizes, with higher concentrations of ultra-giant CCN
(d>10 µm) from local sources closer to the Saudi border,
compared with the eastern orographic region where smaller CCN are
observed. Despite the presence of ultra-giant CCN from dust and pollution in
both regions, an active collision–coalescence (C–C) process is not observed
within the limited depths of warm cloud (<1000 m). The
state-of-the-art observations presented in this paper can be used to
initialize modeling case studies to examine the influence of aerosols on
cloud and precipitation processes in the region and to better understand the
impacts of hygroscopic cloud seeding on these clouds.
