Realismo grotesco e corpo grotesco em Bakhtin
Authors: Leite Francisco Benedito
Published: November 2023

RESUMO Nesse artigo, discutiremos os conceitos bakhtinianos de realismo grotesco e corpo grotesco a partir de diferentes aspectos, a começar pelas abordagens sincrônicas feitas pelos linguistas e semióticos contemporâneos nossos, mas também pela abordagem que o próprio Bakhtin fez desses conceitos desde a pré-história deles, isto é, enquanto o pensador russo elaborava-os em sua tese de doutorado, no contexto da União Soviética na primeira metade do século XX. Depois disso, discutiremos o significado de ambos os conceitos no interior da obra A cultura popular na Idade Média e no Renascimento: O contexto de François Rabelais e, por fim, examinaremos algumas manifestações do grotesco em obras literárias e de artes plásticas do judaísmo antigo e do cristianismo antigo e medieval, as quais foram direta ou indiretamente citadas ou aludidas por Bakhtin.
Os mercados erótico-sexuais em plataformas digitais: o caso brasileiro
Authors: Caminhas Lorena
Published: November 2023

Resumo Este artigo discute o avanço de plataformas digitais nos mercados de sexo e erotismo brasileiros, analisando a configuração dos modelos de negócio implementados e seus impactos no trabalho sexual. O estudo se concentra na indústria erótica de webcams, o primeiro serviço erótico-sexual gerenciado por plataformas no Brasil. A análise resulta de etnografia digital, desenvolvida entre 2016 e 2020 nas duas plataformas de webcamming brasileiras, Câmera Hot e Câmera Privê, e de 15 entrevistas em profundidade com trabalhadoras sexuais. Os resultados demonstram que as plataformas descentralizam a gestão, elaboração e venda de serviços e conteúdo erótico-sexual, visto que as trabalhadoras coordenam individualmente esses processos, sendo responsáveis por suas dinâmicas laborais. Em contrapartida, as plataformas centralizam a infraestrutura técnica e financeira, tornando as trabalhadoras mais dependentes de seus espaços. Entretanto, visando promover a centralização e progredir, as plataformas precisam garantir segurança pessoal e financeira às trabalhadoras. Destarte, vetores de pressão ao trabalho sexual são acompanhados de vetores de autonomia e segurança. Este texto traz uma contribuição ao tratar de uma atividade precária e pouco discutida nas abordagens da economia de plataformas digitais. Adicionalmente, contribui para questionar a dominância do vetor de precarização, evidenciando as ambiguidades das plataformas em trabalhos historicamente informalizados.
PARAMETRIC STUDY AND DEVELOPMENT OF A CORRELATION FOR NUSSELT NUMBER IN NANOFLUID JET IMPINGEMENT
Authors: Sethy Deepak Kumar , Patro Pandaba
Published: November 2023

Numerical simulations for nanofluid ( water with Al2O3 nanoparticles) jet impinging perpendicularly on a flat circular heated p late have been performed. A heated p late is subjected to constant heat flux boundary condition. A two-phase modified mixture mo del was used for the prediction of heat transfer coefficient, and comparisons are made with standard mixture model. Present results for average Nusselt number are validated with experimental data available in the literature. Though a standard mixture model predicted heat transfer with accepted accuracy, it was found that accuracy of modified mixture model is better (around 5% improvement) compared to standard mixture model. Thereafter, parametric study was performed considering nozzle exit Reynolds number (Re), spacing ratio (H/D), nanoparticle volume fraction (φ), and nanoparticle diameter (dp) on heat transfer prediction. The results reveal that particle diameter in the range 10-100 nm has no effect on the Nusselt number, Furthermore, heat transfer increased with increasing Reynolds number and volume fraction. However, spacing ratio shows first increasing and then, decreasing trend (similar to a log-normal distribution curve) in the prediction of heat transfer. Finally, a new correlation was developed for Nusselt number using nonlinear regression analysis. In the correlation, a two-phase multiplier was used, which is the ratio between two-phase Nusselt number (Nunf ) and single-phase Nusselt number (Nusp). The simplified correlation is found to predict data with maximum error of 8.9%, average error of 2.74% and R2 = 0.955.

Monitoring of the migration activity of plants spontaneously dispersing between open and protected ground was organized with a certain frequency in greenhouse complexes of the N.V. Tsitsin Main Botanical Garden of the Russian Academy of Sciences (MBG RAS, Moscow). The relevance of this study is the identification of species that, due to their adaptive capabilities, aggressive distribution and climate warming, may pose a potential danger as alien taxa. A total of 174 species from 123 genera of open-ground plants were identified around all greenhouses of the MBG RAS (within 15 meters), most of which are local and alien weeds. Only 32 species from 28 genera of open-ground plants were found on the greenhouse basement and even fewer were found in the protected ground - 24 species from 22 genera. Only 4 species of plants of protected ground were found on the outside basement of greenhouses, and 3 species belong to ferns. The only flowering plant Cymbalaria muralis, was repeatedly found both on the outer walls and in the cracks of greenhouses, and at a distance of up to 15 meters from the greenhouse buildings. In the open ground, this plant forms populations of up to several dozen specimens, blooms profusely and forms fruits with viable seeds that can successfully overwinter in deep recesses of walls, or under snow.

An increase in anthropogenic impact on protected marine objects makes their biodiversity decrease. There is a need to make forecasts of the impact on their coastal zone. The forecasts should be based on the results of long-term observations, which were carried out sporadically in the water area of the natural monument "Coastal aquatic complex near Cape Fiolent" in the middle of the 20th century. Information about the flora of the monument is scarce and needs to be updated. The aim of the study was to investigate the species composition, taxonomic structure and variability of the monument macrophytobenthos in modern conditions. Algological works were carried out by the method of vertical hydro-botanical sections in July 2021. Samples were taken by a diver at depths of 0.5; 1, 3, 5, 10 and 15 m in the eastern and western sections. A list of 90 species, 63 genera, 35 families, 24 orders, 5 classes Chlorophyta, Ochrophyta, Rhodophyta was compiled based on data for the period 1977 - 2021. 13 species have a conservation status. The basis of phytocenosis is formed by minor genera and the floristic spectra - by a limited number of superspecific taxa. In 2021 the phytocenosis of the monument included 52 species. The flora of the monument is warm-water, subtropical, and its habitat is mesotrophic. Comparison of the composition of phytocenoses in the eastern and western sites revealed no fundamental differences. Low values of Jaccard's coefficient indicate bathymetric isolation of the floristic composition. A direct dependence of the number of species on depth was revealed. It is shown that qualitative heterogeneity of phytocenoses in different decades is not as pronounced as within the same decade.

Degradation of diesel fuel by the halotolerant strain Rhodococcus sp. NDT23 under increased salinity conditions was studied. The strain NDT23 was isolated from diesel-contaminated soil sample which collected at a distance of 3 m from the salt dump of the plant of PJSC Uralkali (Solikamsk, Perm region, Russia). On the basis of 16S rRNA gene analysis it was shown that the strain NDT23 is phylogenetically close to Rhodococcus fascians DSM 20669T and Rhodococcus cercidiphylli YIM 65003T (100% similarity). The presence of alkane-1-monooxygenase (alkB) gene in the strain NDT23 was found to have the highest similarity (99.10-100%) with alkB genes of Rhodococcus strains isolated from soil and plant tissues. The ability of the strain NDT23 to degrade diesel fuel (DF) in the medium without salt and at concentrations up to 100 g/L NaCl was detected. A positive effect of NaCl at a concentration of 50 g/L on the degradation of DT by the studied strain was revealed. Moreover, the presence of NaCl in the medium improved the biodegradation of long-chain hydrocarbons (C14-C20) by the strain NDT23 to a greater extent than short-chain hydrocarbons (C9-C13). It is shown that such an increase in the degradation activity of the strain NDT23 is due to an increase in the hydrophobicity of their cell walls in the presence of NaCl in the medium.

This article examines the problem of introducing a standard for the quality of measurements of petroleum products coming out of a well in production. The aim of the work is to develop a solution to improve the accuracy of the measurement information obtained from piezoelectric sensors of vortex flowmeters using methods of software processing of the results. In accordance with the aim the following tasks were set: to analyze existing methods for oil and gas flow measuring, to analyze methods for digital processing and filtering signals from the sensor element of the vortex flowmeter, to classify the interference of the output signal from the sensor, to develop models for changing the interference of the signal from the vortex flowmeter, to develop a software solution for an interference filtering algorithm using fast Fourier transform for vortex flowmetersIt has been proven that as a criterion for excluding the self-propelled phenomenon of a vortex flowmeter, a threshold amplitude level can be taken, which does not allow flow measurement to be carried out until a certain signal amplitude level is reached.It has been established that the use of digital signal processing methods using an analog-to-digital converter can significantly reduce the influence of interference and increase the accuracy and reliability of measurements using digital filters and spectral analysis based on the Fourier transform, as well as avoiding the self-propelling phenomenon during operation due to the threshold amplitude level.Criteria have been established for determining interference, according to which the classification of interference has been compiled. It is also determined that the signal with the largest amplitude is the useful signal.

Antecedentes: Verbesina molinaria B.L. Rob. & Greenm. y V. oncophora B.L. Rob. & Seaton son especies con circunscripción conflictiva; algunos autores las consideran como especies distintas mientras que otros como una sola (V. oncophora).

Preguntas: ¿Son dos especies de Verbesina? ¿Un análisis linear discriminante (LDA) ayudará a diferenciarlas?

Especies de estudio/Modelo matemático: Verbesina molinaria y V. oncophora / Pruebas de Royston, Shapiro-Wilk, Levene, correlación (Pearson), factor de inflación de la varianza (VIF) y LDA.

Sitio y años de estudio: México; 2022-2023.

Métodos: Se revisaron tipos, protólogos, así como ejemplares de ambas especies depositados en ENCB, HUMO, MEXU y UAMIZ, asignándoles un nombre preliminar y elaborando una matriz de datos. Se generaron diagramas de cajas para evaluar diferencias entre los caracteres analizados; las pruebas estadísticas se realizaron utilizando el software Rstudio.

Resultados: Los tipos y protólogos permitieron identificar diferencias morfológicas entre ellas. Las pruebas de Royston y Shapiro-Wilk respaldaron la normalidad entre los caracteres evaluados. La prueba de Levene sugiere que no hay diferencias significativas entre los caracteres; finalmente, la correlación de Pearson y el VIF indican ausencia de correlación o colinealidad. El análisis LDA mostró una precisión del 100 % en la asignación de los ejemplares con las asignaciones a priori.

Calculating Correctly Rounded Exponential Function in Double-Precision Using Extended Double-Precision Arithmetic
Authors:   Federal State Institution Scientific Research Institute for System Analysis of the Russian Academy of Sciences (SRISA), Moscow, 117218, Russian Federation, Godunov A. N.
Published: November 2023

The article presents an effective algorithm for calculating the correctly rounded exponent for any of the rounding modes specified by the IEEE 754 standard. The argument and the function value are double-precision numbers, but the algorithm itself uses extended double-precision arithmetic for calculations. At the argument reduction stage, we approximate the argument with numbers whose exponent value has a short mantissa, which makes calculations faster. The article gives a formal description of the algorithm and a proof of its correctness. The function has the shortest maximum execution time among the considered functions calculating correctly rounded exponent. The execution time slightly depends on the value of the argument, which may be important for critical applications.
External beam radiotherapy in treatment of high-volume metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer: clinical case
Authors: Shirokorad V. I.
Published: November 2023

The standard treatment for metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer does not include external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) and radionuclide therapy with radium-223.

The article describes a clinical case of successful use of EBRT and radionuclide therapy with radium-223 in a patient with primary high-volume metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer.

The patient  received diagnosis of prostate cancer сT3bN1M1b (Gleason score 8 (4 + 4)), stage IV (metastases in the bones, extraperitoneal and intrathoracic lymph nodes; prostate specific antigen (PSA) level was 4280 ng/mL). Between October of 2017 and January of 2018, the patient received 6 cycles of chemohormonal therapy (degarelix + docetaxel). Bilateral orchiectomy was performed on 05.02.2018, and the patient underwent palliative EBRT on cervical vertebrae between 04.10.2017 and 19.10.2017 with total dose of 32.6 Gy (equivalent to 38.5 Gy). The patient received systemic radiotherapy with one injection of samarium oxabifor (153Sm) 40 mCi (21.03.2018) and radium-223 (4 injections once a month (17.04.2018, 15.05.2018, 14.06.2018, 10.07.2018) + 2 injections 1 time per 3 months (October 2018, January 2019)). Partial response was achieved in the form of PSA decrease from 4280 ng/mL (September 2017) to 0.505 ng/mL (May 2019). Palliative EBRT for the prostate and pelvis was performed between 14.11.2018 and 19.12.2018 for total dose of 62.5 Gy (equivalent to 69 Gy). For 2 years remission was observed with PSA level of 0.3–0.5 ng/mL. In December of 2020, biochemical recurrence was diagnosed: PSA level increased from 0.61 ng/mL in October to 1.43 ng/mL on  28.12.2020.  The  second  course  of  radionuclide  therapy  with  radium-223  5,500  MBq/mL  was  performed  (22.01.2021, 05.03.2021, 02.04.2021) with increase of PSA level to 1.92 ng/mL (May of 2021) and independent decrease to 0.542 ng/mL (June of 2022). In December of 2022, biochemical recurrence was observed with a small increase of PSA level to 1.67 ng/mL. Currently, the disease is stabilized.

Despite constant improvements in radical prostatectomy technique, some questions on standardization of both perioperative management stages and surgical intervention itself remain.

We conducted an anonymous online survey of 45 oncological urologists from 15 regions of the Russian Federation who are actively involved in the surgical treatment of patients with prostate cancer.

According to the results of the survey, there is huge variability associated, to a great extent, with equipment availability in clinics and the lack of sufficient evidence-based information in some matters of perioperative management.

A detailed study of each step of surgical treatment, clinical trials, and involvement of professional societies will contribute to the standardization of perioperative management of patients and radical prostatectomy technique.

Hereditary form of prostate cancer is often caused by pathogenic variants in genes associated with the DNA repair system. Identification of genetic aberrations allows to stratify patients into groups for personalization and improvement of therapy effectiveness. With this approach, it is important to take into account that the frequency of pathogenic variants can vary significantly in different ethnic populations.

The article presents a case of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer in a carrier of hereditary pathogenic variant in the BRCA2 gene c.6341del (р.Pro2114fs). The results support the need for genetic testing using up-to-date methods capable of detecting rare genetic variants.

In an age when open access to law enforcement files and judicial documents can erode individual privacy and confidentiality, miscreants can abuse this open access to personal information for blackmail, misinformation, and even social engineering. Yet, limiting access to law enforcement and court cases is a freedom-of-information violation. To address this tension, this collaborative action-research-based teaching case exemplifies how Italy’s Corte dei Conti (Court of Auditors) used artificial intelligence in the automated deidentification and anonymization of court documents in Italy’s public sector. This teaching case is aimed at undergraduate and graduate students learning about Artificial Intelligence (AI), Large Language Model (LLM) (e.g., ChatGPT) evolution, development, and operations. The case will help students learn the origin and evolution of AI transformer models and architectures, and discusses the GiusBERTo operation and process, highlighting opportunities and challenges. GiusBERTo, Italy’s custom-AI model, offers an innovative approach that walks a tightrope between anonymizing Italy’s judicial court documents without sacrificing context or information loss. The case ends with a series of questions, challenges, and potential for LLMs in data anonymization.

Published: November 2023

BACKGROUND: According to modern data, psoriasis is an immune-mediated disease of a multifactorial nature, affecting not only the skin, but also associated with the development and worsening of the course of diseases of the cardiovascular system. Given the systemic nature of psoriasis, a targeted study of this problem is necessary.
AIM: The aim of this study is to establish the relationship between psoriasis and cardiovascular disease.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: The main group consisted of 160 patients diagnosed with psoriasis, 40 patients were included in the comparison group. Inclusion criteria for the study: age over 18 years, signed informed consent to participate. The exclusion criteria were pregnancy and the patient's refusal to participate further. An open prospective observational clinical study was conducted. The total duration of the study and follow-up was 1 year. All patients had total cholesterol, glucose, creatinine, C-reactive protein measured and calculation of glomerular filtration rate done performed. Body mass index, blood pressure according to Korotkov method, severity of psoriasis (PASI), and dermatological quality of life index (DLQI) were also assessed (by HADS, Hamilton, Zang scales). The psycho-emotional state was assessed, the smoking and the presence of diabetes mellitus were taken into account. Cardiovascular risk was calculated using the SCORE2/2OP scale. In the case of a high cardiovascular risk and/or detection of previously undiagnosed cardiovascular disease, patients were admitted to hospital. All patients received optimal medical and topical therapy.
Patients were followed up during hospitalization and/or telephone calls one year after enrollment in the study.
RESULTS: Among the patients of the main group, from 19 to 85 years old, of which 61% were men and 39% were women, mild psoriasis was diagnosed in 6.2%, moderate in 40%, and severe in 53.8%. Low cardiovascular risk was determined in 39%, moderate in 14%, high in 47%. Among patients in the control group, from 24 to 81, of which 30% are men and 70% are women. Of these, 65% had a low cardiovascular risk, moderate in 5%, and a high in 30%. According to the results of the correlation analysis, there were no statistically significant results on the relationship between psoriasis and cardiovascular disease, however, a multivariate ROC analysis revealed a combined effect of gender, height, weight, body mass index, age, cholesterol level, PASI and DLQI index on the likelihood of development and/or worsening the course cardiovascular disease (AUC 0.9258).
CONCLUSION: Our study provides evidence for a potential causal relationship between psoriasis and cardiovascular disease. Thus, early assessment of CV risk and prevention of the development and worsening of cardiovascular disease requires careful attention from healthcare professionals within multidisciplinary teams.

Arteriovenous conflicts of the ileocecal segment are a frequent cause of recurrent and bilateral varicocele. Insufficient and untimely diagnosis of varicocele causes in this group of patients leads to multiple repeated surgical interventions due to recurrence. This paper presents a clinical case of successful fertility of a 30-year-old patient with bilateral varicocele and testicular hypotrophy on the background of Mey–Thurner syndrome by two-stage surgical treatment including transsclerotal ligation of testicular veins, angioplasty and stenting of the left common iliac vein.
Fracture behaviour characterisation of FRP-reinforced concrete based on digital image correlation and acoustic emission technology
Authors: Fan Xiangqian , Liu Jueding
Published: November 2023

In order to identify the dynamic fracture characteristics of fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP)-reinforced concrete, three-point bending fracture tests of FRP-reinforced concrete with five different strain loading rates (10−1/s, 10−2/s, 10−3/s,
10−4/s and 10−5/s) are carried out. The fracture behaviour of FRP-reinforced concrete is analysed using digital image correlation (DIC) and acoustic emission (AE) techniques. Crack propagation in FRP-reinforced concrete beams during the fracture process
is observed and a quantitative relationship is established between the AE parameters and the load level before the ultimate load is reached. Test results on the variation of the AE parameters can characterise the internal damage behaviour of the FRP-reinforced concrete beams and monitor the
distribution characteristics of any cracks. The crack propagation trajectory of the FRP-reinforced concrete beams can be observed using the DIC technique and quantitative analysis of the crack opening displacement (COD) can be achieved.
The 21 March 2022 Mw 5.1 Tampen Spur Earthquake, North Sea: Location, Moment Tensor, and Context

Published: November 2023

The 21 March 2022 Mw 5.1 Tampen Spur earthquake is the largest event in the North Sea over the last 33 yr. The earthquake was recorded by a 10,708 sensors permanent reservoir monitoring system (PRM) deployed at the Snorre field only a few kilometers away from the epicenter. The event was also recorded on regional networks, as well as at teleseismic distances. Here, we take advantage of this large number of observations to relocate this seismic event, estimate a moment tensor, and refine the depth of the earthquake. The different data sets and location methods yield similar locations, suggesting a well-constrained earthquake location with a depth of 22 ± 5 km. Furthermore, a moment tensor is estimated, which indicates a thrust fault mechanism. Deep crustal earthquakes (>20 km) have been documented within several continental rifts, for example, in Basin and Range in the United States and in northern Germany. Studying deep intraplate earthquakes such as the event observed here can offer insights into the rheology and structures in the deeper portions of the crust. This thrust earthquake implies the reactivation of an older fault in the lower crust consistent with the ridge-push forces from the mid-Atlantic ridge. Such brittle failure at depth indicates a lower crust with little to no fluids present at this depth within the Tampen Spur region.

Tax Compliance and Tax Incentives during a Pandemic (Covid-19): Evidence from MSMEs in Indonesia
Authors: Subandi Hendi , Tjaraka Heru
Published: November 2023

The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted Micro, Small, and Medium-sized Enterprises (MSMEs) by causing reduced demand, supply chain disruptions, cash flow issues, and digitalization challenges. To alleviate these challenges, governments have implemented tax incentives and relief measures. This study examines the factors influencing MSME taxpayer compliance with tax incentives during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study uses a quantitative approach with 167 respondents as MSME taxpayers in East Java, Indonesia. This study uses the SEM-PLS approach. Based on the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) and Social Cognitive Theory (SCT), this study's results indicate a positive influence between attitude, subjective norm, Perceived Behavioral Control, and Self-efficacy on behavioral intention to tax compliance. It can be concluded that there is a positive relationship between behavioral intention to comply with taxes and tax compliance, which is moderated by tax incentives. This means that individuals who have a stronger intention to comply with taxes are more likely to actually comply, and this effect can be further strengthened by the provision of tax incentives.

Background: Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) in diabetic patients can trigger several autoimmune responses. This article aims to assess the presence of circulating autoantibodies against glycated histones and their role in complications in diabetic patients in the Saudi population.
Methods: A total of one hundred twenty samples were collected from diabetic patients with different age groups and healthy individuals as control. All serum samples were collected from Prince Sultan Military Medical City (PSMMC) in Riyadh City in Saudi Arabia. Glycated H2A was prepared and characterized using different physiochemical techniques. Then, ELISA was performed to assess the presence of circulating autoantibodies against glycated histones in diabetic patients’ samples compared with control healthy individuals in the Saudi population.
Results: The glycation of H2A under our experimental conditions appears to be completed in 14 days. also, our data showed high circulating autoantibodies were detected against glycated H2A in all diabetic patients’ plasma with different dilutions. Remarkably, diabetic patients’ group 1 (under 20 years old group) showed highly significant binding activity values in each dilution. However, diabetic patients in groups 2 and 3 showed less binding but still significant values when compared to control healthy individuals.
Conclusions: This finding provides novel perspectives into existing of circulating autoantibodies against glycated histones in diabetes patients in Saudi Arabia. Therefore, these circulating autoantibodies might be used as valuable tools for understanding the glycation mechanisms in diabetic patients in addition to providing diagnostic and prognostic knowledge. However, their roles in diabetic complications need further investigation.

Halife Me’mun, yaratılmış Kur’an doktrini öğretisinin kendi otoritesini güçlendireceğini ve dogmatik ulemanın bu sayede toplumsal zeminini kaybedeceğini biliyordu. Bu nedenle dönemin önde gelen şahsiyetlerine devlet eliyle Kur’an’ın mahlûk olduğu düşüncesi dikte edilmiştir. Baskılara boyun eğmeyen Ahmed b. Hanbel gibi âlimler sürecin sona ermesiyle halk tarafından kahramanlaştırılmıştır. Bu defa karşıt mihne süreci başlamış ve halku’l-Kur’an’a dair söylemlerde bulunanlar tenkit edilmiştir. Hatta daha da ileri gidilerek tekfir edildikleri de görülmüştür. Buna bağlı olarak muhaddislerden birçoğu halku’l-Kur’an meselesine dair görüş beyan etmeyi dahi bid’at olarak telakki etmiştir. Bu durum birbirlerinden haz etmeyen kişi ve kesimler için bir tenkit sahası oluşturmuştur. Bu nedenle bazı kimseler hakkında haksız algılar oluşturulmuş ve asılsız iddialarla toplumdaki otoriteleri hedef alınmıştır. Dolayısıyla İslâm âlimlerinin veya mezheplerinin mevzuya yaklaşımlarını objektif olarak ele almak ve bu bağlamda değerlendirmeye tabi tutmak önem arz etmektedir. Bu çalışmada söz konusu durumdan olumsuz etkilenen Zâhirî mezhebin kurucusu Dâvûd b. Ali ez-Zâhirî (öl. 270/884) ve diğer Zâhirî âlimlerin halku’l-Kur’an’a ilişkin yaklaşımları incelenmiştir. Onlara dair yapılan algının yanı sıra kendilerine nispet edilen söylemlerin doğruluğunun tespiti amaçlanmıştır. Bu bağlamda öncelikle kendilerine nispet edilen görüşler (ı) Kâğıttan ve mürekkepten oluşan elimizdeki Kur’an mahlûk, levh-i mahfuzdaki Kur’an ise mahlûk değildir. (ıı) Kur’an muhdestir. (ııı) Kur’an muhdestir, telaffuzu itibari ile de mahlûktur. (ıv) Kur’an tilavet edildiğinde kulun harfleri çıkarmak için yaptığı hareketler neticesinde oluşan telaffuz mahlûktur şeklinde tasnif edilmiştir. Kendilerine atfedilen bu söylemler Zâhirî âlimlerin eserlerinde bulunan bilgilerle mukayese edilerek tutarlı olup olmadıkları tespit edilmiştir. Yapılan araştırmalar neticesinde mihne sürecinin devam ettiği yıllarda Nâşâbur’da bulunan Dâvûd ez-Zâhirî’nin Kur’an’ın yaratılmışlığına dair bazı söylemleri dile getirdiği; ancak mihnenin sona ermesiyle söz konusu söylemlerinden vazgeçtiği kanaati oluşmuştur. Zâhirî âlimlerden İbn Ebî Âsım (öl. 287/900), İbn Niftaveyh (öl. 323/935), İbn Hazm (öl. 456/1064) ve İbnü’l-Kayserânî’nin (öl. 507/1113) ise Kur’an’ın mahlûk olmadığını açık bir şekilde dile getirdikleri ve aksini iddia edenleri de tekfir ettikleri görülmüştür. Bunun yanı sıra kendilerine atfedilen söylemlerin doğruluğundan veya yanlışlığından bağımsız olarak yapılan algının Zâhirî âlimlerine birçok yönden olumsuz etkilediği de görülmüştür. Söz gelimi bu tür algılara maruz kalan Zâhirî âlimlerin hem halk nezdinde hem de ilim meclislerinde değer kaybetmelerdir.

Published: November 2023

The article examines the problems of innovative development of tourism at the level of territorial communities in the modern realities of Ukrainian decentralization and promising post-war reconstruction. The tourism potential of three territorial communities of Southern Ukraine was analyzed using the adapted Community Capitals Framework methodology in order to index three main types of capital, which are essential for the formation of innovative tourism products: infrastructural, cultural, and natural. Two of the communities studied remain temporarily occupied pending the completion of the study, which was initiated before full-scale war in 2022. An assessment and methods of solving the main problems or obstacles for the development of innovative tourism activities in territorial communities in the post-war period are provided. A new approach to determining the most innovative type of tourism for a particular community is proposed, which should be developed in the context of achieving the goals of sustainable development and within the framework of the formation of sustainable tourist flows and self-governing tourist destinations. Communities are recommended to develop certain types of capital within the framework of post-war reconstruction.

As constantes inundações que ocorrem na cidade de Belém são a causa de graves problemas enfrentados pela população da cidade, principalmente aqueles que residem em áreas consideradas de baixada e que possuem níveis elevados de vulnerabilidade social. Na bacia urbana do Tucunduba, alguns dos principais fatores que contribuem com estes processos são os elevados índices pluviométricos, as formas de uso e ocupação e as condições socioeconômicas e de habitabilidade dos moradores da área da bacia, que constantemente se encontram em condição de risco devido à exposição prolongada à água parada. Neste sentido, o objetivo do presente trabalho é fazer uma caracterização do risco ambiental na planície urbana da Bacia do Tucunduba em Belém, a partir da renda média da população e da suscetibilidade à inundação. Para alcançar nosso objetivo, foi realizado o levantamento das principais áreas de inundação na bacia do Tucunduba e a classificação dos níveis de renda dos moradores da área da bacia a partir dos setores censitários. Os resultados preliminares demonstraram à existência de diversas áreas suscetíveis à inundação e uma população vulnerável em função de sua prolongada exposição ao perigo que se deriva desse processo. Portanto, medidas que visem minimizar os efeitos das inundações são urgentes e imprescindíveis para uma melhor qualidade de vida.
UNIVERSALITAS ISLAM: MELURUSKAN PANDANGAN BIFURKASI ANTAR ILMU

ABSTRACTThe classification of knowledge is not intended as a bifurcation between general science and religious science. Bifurcation can lead to the misconception that non-religious science is separate from Islam. Whereas in the Islamic intellectual tradition, harmonious unity between science is always maintained. Science is a single entity because the source of all knowledge is the One (al-ahad). The meaning is the concept of science in Islam boils down to the concept of monotheism. Science must be able to bring people closer to the Creator, acknowledge His greatness, encourage people to do good deeds, transform people to be authoritative and respected and be able to offer solutions to crises. So, studying a science does not mean leaving a study of other sciences. This is what is meant by the holistic integration of science. This research is a qualitative research with library method. The focus of this research is to reread the basic principles of science, trace their roots and prove their integration.  Keywords: Universality of Islam, Bifurcation, SciencesABSTRAKKlasifikasi ilmu pengetahuan bukan dimaksudkan sebagai bifurkasi antara ilmu umum dan ilmu agama. Bifurkasi dapat memunculkan kesalahan konsepsi bahwa ilmu non agama adalah terpisah dari Islam. Padahal dalam tradisi intelektual Islam, kesatuan yang harmonis antar ilmu senantiasa dijaga. Ilmu adalah kesatuan tunggal karena sumber dari segala ilmu adalah Yang Esa (al-ahad). Maknanya, konsep ilmu dalam Islam bermuara pada konsep tauhid. Ilmu harus dapat mendekatkan manusia kepada Sang Khalik, mengakui keagungan-Nya, mendorong manusia untuk melakukan amal shaleh, mentransformasikan umat menjadi berwibawa dan disegani serta mampu menawarkan solusi terhadap krisis. Sehingga, mempelajari suatu ilmu tidak berarti meninggalkan kajian atas ilmu yang lainnya. Inilah yang dimaksud dengan integrasi ilmu secara holistik. Penelitian ini adalah penelitian kualitatif dengan metode pustaka riset. Fokus penelitian ini adalah untuk membaca ulang prinsip dasar ilmu pengetahuan, melacak akar dan membuktikan keterpaduannya.  Kata Kunci: Universalitas Islam, Bifurkasi, Ilmu
Aprendizagem significativa em física: estudo envolvendo experimentos de pensamento históricos
Authors: Giacomelli Alisson Cristian , Rosa Cleci Teresinha Werner da , Darroz Luiz Marcelo
Published: November 2023

O presente estudo se dedica a discutir a potencialidade dos Experimentos de Pensamento (EPs) para a aprendizagem significativa em Física, tomando como referência a Teoria da Aprendizagem Significativa. Como questão de investigação formulou-se a seguinte pergunta: que indícios de aprendizagem significativa são evidenciados a partir da utilização de EPs como recurso didático para apropriação de conceitos e fenômenos físicos? O objetivo está em identificar indícios dessa aprendizagem frente à utilização didática de episódios históricos envolvendo EPs. Para tanto, o estudo realizou uma intervenção didática junto a quatro estudantes de um curso de licenciatura em Física para abordar dois episódios de EPs históricos. Tais episódios foram antecedidos por um questionário para identificar os conhecimentos prévios dos estudantes em conformidade com o referencial teórico adotado no estudo. Do ponto de vista metodológico, a pesquisa toma como referencial a abordagem qualitativa, tendo como instrumentos para produção dos dados, o uso dos registros na forma de áudio e vídeo referente as discussões entre os participantes e deles com o pesquisador, bem como os materiais escritos pelos acadêmicos durante os episódios de ensino. Os resultados apontaram que os EPs se revelam uma tarefa potencialmente significativa, possibilitando averiguar indícios de aprendizagem significativa, todavia, ainda carece de mais estudos empíricos que mostrem a melhor forma de utilizá-los em sala de aula.

Purpose: This study investigated the epidemiology, management, outcomes, and postoperative disabilities of degloving soft tissue injuries (DSTIs) treated at a tertiary care center in northern India.Methods: A prospective study of patients with DSTIs was conducted over 15 months. The type of degloving injury, the mechanism of injury, and any associated injuries were analyzed using the World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule (WHODAS) 2.0 along with the management, outcomes, and disabilities at a 3-month follow-up.Results: Among 75 patients with DSTIs, the average age was 27.5 years, 80.0% were male, and 76.0% had been injured in traffic accidents. The majority (93.3%) were open degloving injuries. Lower limbs were affected most often (62.7%), followed by upper limbs (32.0%). Fractures were the most commonly associated injuries (72.0%). Most patients required multiple procedures, including secondary debridement (41.3%), split skin grafting (80.0%), flap coverage (12.0%), or vacuum-assisted closure (24.0%), while five patients underwent conservative management for closed degloving injuries. Postoperative complications included surgical site infections (14.7%) and skin necrosis (10.7%). Two patients died due to septic shock and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome. The mean length of hospital stay was 11.5±8.1 days, with injuries affecting the lower limbs and perineum requiring longer hospital stays. The mean WHODAS 2.0 disability score at 3 months was 19. Most patients had mild disabilities. Time away from work depended largely upon the site and severity of the injury. Approximately 75% of patients resumed their previous job or study, 14% changed their job, and 8% stopped working completely due to residual disability.Conclusions: Closed degloving injuries may be missed in the primary survey, necessitating a high index of suspicion, thorough clinical examination, and protocol-based management. Primary preventive strategies (e.g., road safety protocols, preplacement training, and proper protective equipment in industries) are also needed to reduce the incidence of these injuries.
