As though the ’80s never happened – recalibrating value through music
Authors: Born Georgina 
Published: September 2024

How can we renew awareness of the civic value of the arts and humanities? This article responds to this question mainly with reference to music. It notes the rise since the 1990s of extrinsic criteria of value evident in sociological, economic and psychological arguments for the significance of music and the arts, which risk a profound instrumentalisation. In reaction, recent defences of the arts stage a stand-off against sociological perspectives, in particular, returning to older humanistic defences. Recalling the growth of interdisciplinary popular music and cultural studies from the 1980s, which unveiled the multivalent relationships between aesthetic and social dimensions of music, sets this polarisation into relief, productively shifting the debate. Music emerges as a vital medium for living, active in differentiated lives, an environment that may alone proffer meaning, pleasure, hope and a sense of collective imaginative and public life amid intensifying anxiety, desperation and the denial of collectivity.

Violence and the public narratives of history of science
Authors: Secord James A. 
Published: September 2024

The value of the humanities is severely limited by outmoded chronological frameworks, which continue to dominate public discussion and educational curricula while being rejected in current research. Even in adjacent academic fields, the history of science is often understood as a series of revolutions, particularly the much-criticised ‘Scientific Revolution’ of the 17th century. The view of science as a sequence of dramatic revolutions, famously articulated in the work of Thomas Kuhn, originated around 1900 in attempts to market a Eurocentric view of science-based industrial progress. It is, however, seriously misleading. The key issue is violence. The concept of scientific revolutions locates epistemic violence within specialist communities, obscuring the role of the sciences in colonial conquest and in silencing other ways of knowing.

This study was conducted to determine the role of azotobacter bacteria and nitrogen fertilizer in the growth and yield of two hybrids of chilli pepper. The experiment included two factors: the first factor was two hybrids of chilli pepper (Barbarian and Hyffa), while the second factor was the fertilizer treatments, which consisted of eight treatments: the controle treatment, spraying with distilled water (T1), inoculation with the Azotobacter biofertilizer (T2), spraying urea fertilizer at a concentration of 150 mgl-1 (T3), spray urea fertilizer at a concentration of 300 mgl-1 (T4), spray urea fertilizer at a concentration of 450 mgl-1 (T5), Azotobacter + spraying urea fertilizer at a concentration of 150 mgl-1 (T6), Azotobacter + spraying urea fertilizer at a concentration of 300 mgl-1 (T7), and Azotobacter + spraying urea fertilizer at a concentration of 450 mgl-1 (T8). The experiment carried out according to a split plot system design within a randomized complete block design(RCBD) with three replications. The first factor (hybrid) placed in the main plots and the second factor (fertilizer treatments) was placed in the sub-plots. The means compared according to the least significant difference test. (L.S.D) at a probability level of 5%. The results can summarized as follows: The interaction treatment between the fertilizer treatments and the chilli pepper hybrid (T8×Barbarian) showed significant superiority in most of the studied indicators compared to the other interaction treatments and gave the highest values in the percentage of elements in the leaves: Nitrogen (3.021%), Phosphorus (0.567%), Potassium (3.791%). It excelled in indicators of vegetative growth and chlorophyll content in leaves (362.1 mg 100 g - 1 fresh weight). It also excelled in quantitative indicators of yield represented by fruit weight (33.66 g), number of fruits (34.16 fruits Plant-1), and plant yield (1.149 kg plant-1), and it also excelled in the qualitative indicators of the fruits and their vitamin C content (121.3 mg 100 g-1 ).

Published: September 2024

Este ensaio baseia-se no compartilhamento de experiências e ações realizadas em projetos desenvolvidos pela plataforma Territórios Sensíveis, para que, à luz dessas experiências, possamos discutir conceitos como conhecimento corporificado e as relações emergentes entre corpo/território/tempo. Analisamos, ainda, a forma como as artes podem contribuir para as discussões e ações em torno das questões ambientais a partir de “formas” ético-políticas de fazer arte, e pontuamos as formas pelas quais as dimensões micropolíticas e imagináriaspodem ser reforçadas ou restauradas frente às atuais crises globais.

Abstract
This essay is based on the sharing of experiences and actions carried out in projects developed by the Territórios Sensíveis (Sensitive Territories) platform, so that in light of these experiences we can discuss concepts such as: embodied knowledge, socially and environmentally engaged artistic practice and the emerging relationships between body/territory/time. We also analyze how the arts can contribute to the discussions and actions around environmental issues from ethical-political “ways” of making art, and we point out the ways in whichthe micropolitical and imaginary dimensions can be reinforced or restored in face of the current global crises.

Ruínas em solo terrestre: uma análise de Piquenique na estrada, inumanidade e Antropoceno
Authors: Villon Renata Coutinho 
Published: September 2024

Em Piquenique na Estrada, de Boris e Arkadi Strugátski, uma ameaça alienígena desconhecida e inexplicável deixa zonas igualmente inexplicáveis e altamente mortíferas em alguns espaços delimitados ao redor do planeta. O presente trabalho analisa a obra tendo como foco o confronto entre uma humanidade até então soberana e esse outro não nomeado que agora ocupa seu espaço, de forma a refletir a respeito do próprio significado de “ser humano” e a destruição por ele efetuada no planeta – ou Gaia, como veremos principalmente a partir das observações de Viveiros de Castro e Danowski. Para tal, movimentamos também outros estudos teóricos a respeito da inumanidade e da xenologia, buscando demonstrar que a invasão alienígena que ocorre na obra parece na verdade dizer respeito ao próprio descaso humano, sendo mesmo representativa do poder destrutivo que o homem mantém sobre Gaia no Antropoceno. Também adentramos o próprio conceito de zona, além de refletir a respeito das ruínas e seu aparecimento.

Abstract
In Roadside Picnic, by Boris and Arkadi Strugátski, an unknown and unexplained alien threat leaves equally unexplained and highly deadly zones in certain delimited spaces around the planet. This paper analyzes the work with a focus on the confrontation between a hitherto sovereign humanity and this unnamed other who now occupies its space, in order to reflect on the very meaning of “human being” and the destruction it has wrought on the planet – or Gaia, as we will see mainly from the observations of Viveiros de Castro and Danowski. To this end, we will also look at other theoretical studies on inhumanity and xenology, in an attempt to demonstrate that the alien invasion that takes place in the play actually seems to be about human neglect itself, and is even representative of the destructive power that man holds over Gaia inthe Anthropocene. We will also go into the concept of zone itself, as well as reflect a little on ruins and how they appear.

Ensaiar para depois do fim: além de dualismos, nós
Authors: Mattos Marina Baltazar 
Published: September 2024

A partir do questionamento do pensamento binário, hierarquizante por si só, procura-se refletir sobre os paradigmas que se encontram nos supostos polos contrários, na tentativa de ampliar as possibilidades de leitura e construção conjunta de maneiras de habitar e situar nossa habitação no mundo como parte integrante da natureza. Para tanto, um percurso sobre alguns dualismos, partindo da perspectiva ecofeminista, da transdisciplinaridade e sobretudo por meio de alguns conceitos fundamentais de Donna Haraway, será traçado, no ensaio de revisão de um fim de mundo menos metafórico e mais voltado para a construção urgente de um mundo comum. A prática de Cecilia Vicuña demonstra como a arte pode ativar novos modos de agir e pensar, de maneira coletiva e alinhada à noção de rede.

Abstract
This essay seeks to reflect on the paradigms that are found in the supposed opposite poles of the binary thinking, hierarchical itself, in an attempt to expand the possibilities of reading and construct ways of inhabiting and situating our dwelling in the world as a part of nature. To this end, a route on some dualisms will be traced, starting from the ecofeminist perspective, transdisciplinarity and through some fundamental concepts of Donna Haraway, in a rehearse to revise an end of the world less metaphorical and more focused on the urgent building of a common world. Cecilia Vicuña’s practice elaborates how art can activate new ways of acting and thinking, in a collective shape and aligned with the web notion.

Published: September 2024

Maritime Cruises Mini-Submarines (MCMS) plans to offer a unique underwater experience in the Ionian Sea, contingent on regulatory approval and establishing safety procedures. We developed a Location Predictive Model using Runge-Kutta methods to predict submersible positions considering various uncertainties. Monte Carlo simulation handled random components. Recommended Search and Rescue (SAR) equipment, evaluated by Analytic Hierarchy Process, includes sonar systems and autonomous underwater vehicles, with the Remote Operated Vehicle being the most suitable. The Fast-Search Model optimizes SAR equipment deployment, reducing search time. The Destination Extension Model is adaptable to other tourist destinations. In conclusion, this article highlights critical location prediction and innovative SAR models supporting MCMS’s application and approval, promising Greece leadership in maritime tourism with high safety standards.

Published: September 2024

Background: B cell depleting therapy (rituximab) results in impaired ability to mount a humoral immune response. Evusheld, tixagevimab 150mg co-packaged with cilgavimab 150mg, is a passive vaccine against SARS-CoV-2.
Objective: Evaluate prospectively the efficacy and safety of Evusheld vaccine for preventing or mitigating SARS-COV2 infection in patients with autoimmune rheumatic diseases (AIRD) treated with rituximab.
Methods: We compared patients treated with rituximab, who agreed to receive Evusheld, to patients who refused. The primary outcome was the risk of severe COVID19 infection from omicron variant.
Results: 45 AIRD patients in the intervention group and 26 in the control group, were recruited. There was no difference between the groups with regard to sex, age, years of rituximab treatment, previous mRNA vaccination and serum immunoglobulins level. No difference in the infection rate was found between intervention group and control group (21 (49%) versus 12 (48%). Four patients had a severe infection, 3 in the control group and 1 in the intervention group. Evusheld reduced the risk for severe infection by 94% (HR 0.06, 95% CI 0.01-0.76, p-value 0.017). No adverse events were reported.
Conclusions: Evusheld decreased the risk for severe COVID19 infection in patients with AIRD treated with rituximab in a period in which Omicron BA.5, BQ1 and BQ.1.1 variants were prevalent in Israel, with a favorable safety profile.
Factors affecting antibiotics consumption among the elderly population in Thailand
Authors: Darasawang Dr. Worrayot , Laohasiriwong Wongsa , Mahato Roshan Kumar 
Published: September 2024

Background: The consumption of antibiotic among the elderly population has raised concerns in Thailand due to its correlation with antimicrobial resistance (AMR) infections. Moreover, it is also related to adverse drug reactions resulting from impaired drug excretion and elimination. Contributing factors to antibiotic consumption in the elderly population are insufficiently understood in Thailand.
Objectives: The purposes of this study were to determine the prevalence of antibiotic consumption behaviour among the elderly population and to identify associated factors.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted using survey data from the National Statistic Office, which included only elderly individuals. Bivariate analysis with a generalized linear mixed model (GLMM) was performed to screen for significant independent variables with a significance level below 0.05. All significant variables were included in the multivariable analysis, which revealed adjusted odds ratios (AOR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI).
Results: Of 9,104 elderly people, the prevalence of antibiotic consumption was found to be 7.77% (95% CI: 7.21% - 8.31%). The multivariable GLMM analysis demonstrated that being free from underlying diseases (AOR= 2.16, 95% CI: 1.63-2.88, p-value < 0.001), having transportation expenses (AOR = 2.11, 95% CI:1.49-2.99, p-value < 0.001), experiencing pain and discomfort symptoms (AOR =1.66, 95%CI: 1.27-2.16, p-value < 0.001), having anxiety and depression (AOR = 1.66, 95%CI: 1.27-2.16, p-value = 0.012), having moderate to poor level of knowledge (AOR = 2.42 95% CI: 1.55-3.78 and (AOR=2.71, 95% CI:1.75-4.21), and not receiving information regarding antibiotic use and its resistance (AOR = 5.12, 95%CI: 4.12-6.36, p-value < 0.001) were the major contributing factors to antibiotic consumption behaviours in the elderly population.
Conclusion: The prevalence of antibiotic consumption in the elderly population may contribute to emergence of AMR infections and increased mortality rates. Implementing clinical practice guidelines and health education programs is essential to control antibiotic prescriptions and discourage self-medication in Thailand.
