REFURBISHING INNOVATIVE STRUCTURES: THE CASE OF ROMANIAN SPORTS HALLS
Authors: Balcanu Ruxandra 
Published: June 2024

This paper brings an in-depth look on 20th-century built heritage by researching refurbishment opportunities for Romanian sports halls built during the communist regime. In those times, sports played a significant role for the controlling party's general propaganda machine. Being a leisure activity it infiltrated every aspect of society, from the worker’s everyday schedule to the newly constructed collective buildings.Sports halls were part of a larger and thoroughly controlled by the state urban equipment network spanning the entire country. After the fall of the communist regime, these buildings were left untouched and unused, as the sports phenomenon diminished in importance without the state’s constant implication. Even so, these buildings continue to impress evincing some innovative features for that period, from braided steel cables to post- or pre-stressed concrete beams and prefabricated systems for the whole construction. The synergy between the structure and the architecture casts the unique monumental image of these buildings onto their surroundings.The research investigates the opportunity for refurbishment and reuse of these buildings as opposed to the demolition alternative. We will look in their future by comparing several case studies. Besides its historical approach, the study aims at bringing forward the communist recent built heritage issue.

Published: June 2024

BACKGROUND: Unknown etiology pneumonia cases were discovered in Wuhan, China in December 2019. These cases are now referred to as coronavirus illness 2019, and the coronavirus is characterized as severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). High-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) is an important imaging modality that can help with COVID-19 patient diagnosis and care.
OBJECTIVE: To assess the imaging patterns of lung involvement of COVID-19 pneumonia on HRCT in suspected COVID-19 patients in Northwest General Hospital and Research Center Peshawar.
METHODOLOGY: It was a cross-sectional study conducted in the Radiology Department, Northwest General Hospital Research Center from 30th March 2020 to 30th June 2021. This study included 80 suspected Covid-19 patients. HRCT of these patients was performed on 16 slices Toshiba Multidetector Computed Tomography (MDCT) scanner in the Radiology Department of Northwest General Hospital and Research Centre.0.5mm reconstructed images in lung window and 3mm images in the mediastinal window were viewed on the workstation in axial, coronal and sagittal planes. The data was processed using SPSS version 16.0
RESULTS: We included 80 suspected COVID-19 pneumonia patients who presented to our department with or without symptoms of chest infection or fever. They were considered for our study irrespective of age group and gender. We found that a great number of patients (41.2%) were symptomless, despite lung parenchymal involvement. Eight patterns of distribution in the lung were found on HRCT, amongst which involvement of both lower lobes was most prevalent (32.5%). Radiological patterns of the disease process included GGH (82.5%), consolidation (60%), both GGH and consolidation (52%), crazy paving pattern (65%), pulmonary nodules (37.5%), interlobular septal thickening (71.2%), pleural bands (32.5%), bronchial wall thickening (20%) and pleural effusion (12.5%)
CONCLUSION: HRCT is an effective diagnostic modality in the early identification of COVID-19 pneumonia. The majority of patients had bibasal involvement followed by peripheral subpleural distribution. Amongst the findings, GGH was found to be the most frequent finding on HRCT

The originality of Chinoiserie-style garden architecture in England in the XVIII century
Authors: Yu Zhengyang 
Published: June 2024

The article "The originality of Chinoiserie-style garden architecture in England in the XVIII century" explores the development and specifics of Chinoiserie style in the landscape architecture of England. Chinoiserie style refers to the use of Chinese motifs and stylistic techniques in European architecture. The aim of the work is to identify the specifics of the arrangement of English gardens and parks in the Chinoiserie style. The subject of the study is the stylistic features of the embodiment of Chinoiserie gardens and parks. The object of the study is parks and garden architecture in the Chinoiserie style in England. The study covers the 18th century, revealing the contribution of individual architects and the influence of Chinese art on the development of garden architecture. The presented analysis demonstrates how architectural styles of Western and Eastern culture can mix. English gardens and parks are evidence of the influence of Chinese aesthetics on landscape gardening, which later spread to continental Europe. In the course of the research, the following methods were mainly used: historical, historical-genetic, historical-comparative. In the study of specific objects of landscape architecture, methods of art criticism analysis were applied — formal, stylistic and comparative methods. The article examines specific English monuments of landscape architecture of the XVIII century taken as examples the Chinoiserie style. The novelty of the study lies in the fact that the features of the Chinoiserie style in the landscape architecture of England were highlighted and a comparison of English architectural objects in the Chinoiserie style with Chinese analogues was carried out. The conducted research revealed the English specifics in the approach to interpreting Chinese designs of gardens and parks and architectural projects in the XVIII century. English gardeners and architects were inspired by Chinese aesthetics and used oriental elements for decoration, but did not follow all architectural canons and traditions. This gave rise to a new Chinoiserie style, a combination of Chinese and European landscape art that spread throughout Europe.
Residui sacrali nei musei
Authors: Gamberi Valentina 
Published: June 2024

This article reflects on the existing dynamics between the sacredness derived from the museumification of religious items and the sacredness of those artefacts employed in rituals that survive in museum spaces as a trace or sacred residue (Beekers 2016). Which sacrality predominates, and how do they influence each other? Through an ethnography conducted in several Taiwanese museums, the article probes into a stratification of sacralities: the encounter between Buddhist and Chinese religious practitioners with museum artefacts’ sacred residue reflects complex and unpredictable dynamics. The ethnography presented in this article is defined as membrane ethnography since the relationship between humans and matter is like a membrane that unites and simultaneously separates, filters and subjectifies. This article extends the meaning of sacred residue by examining the reproducibility of religious artefacts through technological or experiential means. The latter, rather than determining the artefacts’ inauthenticity, makes the sacred residue more explicit. Furthermore, the ethnography of the membrane shows how non-European contexts are permeated by porosity and interdependency between the secular and the sacred of religious heritage, thus preventing a dichotomisation between museums and ritual contexts for analysing the implied dynamics between them instead.

Dry land is a prospective resource to support sustainable agricultural development. Apart from its expanse which reaches an area of 144.47 million hectares. However, there are various challenges in using dry land as a source of new growth for the agricultural sector. One of them is the rapid land degradation process caused by soil erosion, soil compaction, scarcity of water supply to irrigate plants, and loss of soil organic matter which causes low soil fertility levels. Efforts that can be made are by providing organic fertilizer. The research aimed to determine the growth and yield of tomato applied with varying levels of vermicompost and NASA POC and their interaction effects. Ultimately, determine the optimum concentrations of vermicompost and NASA POC suitable for the growth and yield of tomato plant. The research was carried out from August 2022 to December 2022 in the Organic Rice Cluster area, Karang Anyar Village, Tanjung Palas District, Bulungan Regency, North Kalimantan Province, Indonesia. The research used a 4 x 3 Factorial Experiment in a Completely Randomized Design (CRD), with 5 replications. The first factor is the dose of vermicompost (V) consisting of 4 levels, namely: without vermicompost (v0), 450 g polybag-1 (v1), 900 g polybag-1 (v2), 1350 g polybag-1 (v3). The second factor is the NASA POC concentration (P) consisting of 3 levels, namely: without Nasa POC (p0), 1 ml l-1 water (p1), and 2.5 ml l-1 water (p2). The results showed that the response to plant height aged 14 and 21 days after planting, plant age at flowering, plant age at harvest, number of fruit per plant, weight of one fruit, and weight of fruit per plant were not significantly different from the application of vermicompost, Nasa POC and their interactions, except for the response The height of plants aged 28 days was significantly different from the application of chicken manure vermicompost. The highest fruit weight per plant was produced in the treatment of 900 g polybag-1 vermicompost and 1 ml l-1 water Nasa POC.

Bacteria are a real public health problem because of their involvement in many diseases. Their resistance to antibiotics has become one of the most important problems in the fight against infectious diseases worldwide. The objective of this work was to evaluate the antibacterial activity of hydrazide-hydrazone derivatives against pathogenic strains isolated from food using the agar diffusion method in cups and the macro-dilution method in liquid medium.
In this work, a survey was conducted among food vendors on the four security corridors of the city of Daloa. A structured questionnaire was administered to 127 vendors and a total of 60 food samples were collected from the four corridors and analysed.
The results indicate that the majority of food sales at these security corridors are carried out by women (88.12%). The vendors were mostly adults (59.84%) aged between 15 and 35, with no formal education (50.39%). Microbiological analysis of the 2 types of food showed the presence of enterobacteria above the recommended thresholds. Concerning the antimicrobial effectiveness explored, four substances (AEV5, AB2, AB3 and AB5) revealed antibacterial activity. The MBC/MIC ratio of all these substances being less than 4 indicates that these synthesised substances all have bactericidal activity. As a result, substances derived from S-alkylation and Mannich bases can be used to combat bacterial infections.
A organização do trabalho didático sob a ótica de Paschoal Lemme: o ensino técnico-profissional na obra A educação na URSS - 1953
Authors: Cremonesi Acione Leite de Souza , Centeno Carla Villamaina 
Published: June 2024

Este artigo analisa o pensamento do educador Paschoal Lemme (1904-1997) acerca da organização do trabalho didático no ensino técnico-profissional, exposto em sua obra A Educação na URSS – 1953. A fundamentação teórica consiste na Ciência da História. Para Lemme havia uma diferença abissal entre o ensino profissional soviético e o brasileiro. O ensino profissionalizante no Brasil era abstrato e dualista. Lemme demonstrou o investimento material e humano na educação soviética como um todo e expôs a contribuição para a educação universal. Defendeu que a ciência e a técnica fossem utilizadas no ensino para libertação humana.
O suicídio feminino a partir da obra “Sobre o suicídio” de Karl Marx: a fuga das relações de opressão por meio da morte voluntária
Authors: Araújo Jordânia 
Published: June 2024

Este artigo tem como objetivo examinar o fenômeno do suicídio feminino a partir do pensamento de Karl Marx. Assim, tomaremos a obra Sobre o suicídio (2006) como pressuposto teórico em nossa investigação. Ademais, problematizamos também com outros textos do autor a respeito das implicações e condições patriarcais e opressivas que afetam a vida das mulheres na esfera privada. Para tanto, investigaremos o domínio da instituição familiar nas relações afetivas da intimidade burguesa e suas repercussões na morte voluntária. Pretende-se lançar luz acerca do suicídio protagonizado por mulheres, apresentando uma duplicidade de contravenção: a ideia de um modelo de morte e o próprio padrão de feminilidade na sociedade moderna.
A aliança empresarial-militar, o golpe de 1964 e as reformas na educação a serviço do capital
Authors: De Oliveira Gomes Marco Antonio , Miriani Stabile Eduarda , Baptista do Nascimento Yasmin 
Published: June 2024

Este artigo objetiva analisar os interesses da ditadura empresarial-militar em ampliar o acesso e reformar a educação em consonância com os interesses do capital. Nossa premissa é que as reformas promovidas após o golpe de 1964 buscaram adequar a formação do trabalhador ao projeto de desenvolvimento associado e dependente da ditadura. Para alcançarmos o objetivo proposto partimos do postulado que a educação e as reformas empreendidas não se explicam abstratamente ou isoladas das contradições que atravessam a sociedade de classes, mas necessitam de uma análise sobre o caráter periférico e subordinado da economia brasileira aos interesses imperialistas. Assim, prevaleceu o caráter tecnicista, que propugnava por uma proposta pedagógica produtivista.

No ano de 2024, o golpe que eclodiu a ditadura empresarial-militar no Brasil completa 60 anos. Assim, reverberam, sobre as mais diferentes formas, interpretações distintas que versam, por um lado, entre as mais ajustadas pesquisas, por outro, a partir dos mais debilitados revisionismos. Com as lentes apontadas para um fenômeno que modificou a história do Brasil, mas que se caracterizou, sobretudo, pelas transfigurações do capital e, por conseguinte, pelo seu conteúdo de classe, esse dossiê tem como objetivo propor um debate, a partir do rigor analítico da dialética materialista, sobre os fundamentos, os sujeitos sociais, impactos e desdobramentos do golpe empresarial-militar no Brasil, a partir de 1964, que estabelece novos contornos na gestão política e econômica num país dependente e subordinado à esfera do imperialismo.
A ênfase recairá nos debates que contemplarem a caracterização da ditadura empresarial-militar no Brasil, a interdependência com as transformações do modo de produção capitalista, a emergência de seus principais sujeitos (internos e externos), enfatizando o acirramento do conflito de classes. Pretende-se destacar, entre outros, artigos que sublinhem as mudanças na relação capital e trabalho, a repressão do Estado, o papel da mídia hegemônica e contra-hegemônica, a atuação das Igrejas cristãs, as pautas morais e os direitos sociais, a censura, tanto quanto os escritos que evidenciem a resistência armada, o movimento sindical, o movimento estudantil, as lutas por terra, a questão racial e indígena, a atuação das mulheres e pessoas LGBTs. Também destacamos os debates em torno das transformações institucionais e ideológicas nos campos educacional, cultural e artístico, um dos eixos centrais da revista Germinal.
Em linhas gerais, o objetivo é termos um balançodos principais desdobramentos do golpe de 1964-1985 observados até os dias presentes e que impactam, sobremaneira, os movimentos de luta da classe trabalhadora no Brasil.

AbstractObjectives:Global patterns of the incidence of cancer are often attributed to environmental and lifestyle differences between regions. Less attention has been given to global patterns of allelic variation of genes that may contribute to the risk of developing cancer.Methods:We genotyped samples from 21 populations for four variants of the progesterone receptor (PR) gene. One is an Alu insertion in intron 7 which defines the PROGINS haplotype. The others include a promoter region SNP 331+ G/A (rs10895068), a haplotype defining T/C substitution in intron 6 (rs561650), and an A/T substitution (rs608995) in the 3′ untranslated region of the gene. All variants have been investigated elsewhere in association with female reproductive cancers in western populations.Results:We found population differences in the frequency of each of these alleles across study populations (P < 0.01, log‐likelihood G statistic, computed in FSTAT) and therefore examined the correlation between the frequency of each genetic variant and the incidence of three female reproductive cancers (breast, uterine, and ovarian) obtained from the Globocan 2008 database. Breast and ovarian cancer incidence were significantly correlated with the frequency of the Alu insertion (r = 0.86 and 0.53) and the +331 A variant (r = 0.57 and 0.73).Conclusions:Our data expand the information on genetic variation at the PR locus in non‐western populations and support an argument for more work on the genetic epidemiology of cancer among nonwestern populations.
