Em uma rápida e intensa alteração das configurações do debate público na cena republicana brasileira, temos observado a emergência insistente e reiterada da atualização de estereótipos e imagens cristalizadas tradicionais excludentes que or...

L’italianizzazione del siciliano nei Malavoglia tra la chiarezza del testo e la traduzione in arabo

Lo scopo della presente ricerca è, in primo luogo, quello di presentare lo scrittore ottocentesco Giovanni Verga in una prospettiva diversa e insolita. Verga è generalmente considerato il maggior esponente del verismo italiano. In effetti p...

Una frontera lingüística: castellano, aragonés y catalán en el Teruel del siglo XVII

El presente artículo aborda los influjos lingüísticos que se producen desde el catalán hacia el castellano de Aragón a principios del siglo XVII. El estudio de tales influjos se centra en el análisis lingüístico de un acta notarial original...

PUBLIC INTEREST IN PUBLIC PROCUREMENT

The basis of legal relations in public procurement are private and public interests. The purpose of the study is a substantive assessment of the authors hypothesis that the purpose of legal regulation and financial support of public procure...

Scrolling and Self: How Self-Esteem and Physical Activity Shape the Effects of Intagram Use on Eating Behavior in Universitary Students

Introduction The use of Social Networking Sites (SNS) has been continuously increasing in recent years [1], contributing to the rise of significant behavioral and psychological issues, especially when SNS are used as a coping mechanism f...

Aims: To explore the structural characteristics and influential factors of psychological stress of urban residents in Jiangxi province during the COVID-19 pandemic through a survey of psychological stress, personality traits, family functio...

The effects of anodal transcranial direct current stimulation on psychological factors in athletes: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Abstract Objective Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a safe, non-invasive neuromodulation method that delivers a low-intensity, constant direct current through electrodes positioned on the scalp. Therefore, the purpose of th...

Malay and Cebuano ditransitives: A minimalist perspective

In the tradition of the generative school of thought in linguistics, the Universal Grammar (UG) is in the forefront in shifting linguistics from behavioral to cognitive science making linguistics an integral part of the study of cognition (...

Psychological Components of Disease Stigma Across Illnesses: Associations with Cultural and Personal Factors

Understanding public stigma against patients (also known as disease stigma)—negative attitudes or discriminatory responses toward individuals with a disease—is essential for improving health outcomes and fostering inclusive communities. In ...

Fertility and Iron Bioaccumulation in <i>Drosophila melanogaster</i> Fed with Magnetite Nanoparticles Using a Validated Method

Research on nanomaterial exposure-related health risks is still quite limited; this includes standardizing methods for measuring metals in living organisms. Thus, this study validated an atomic absorption spectrophotometry method to determi...

Synthesis of a Pseudodisaccharide α-C-Glycosidically Linked to an 8-Alkylated Guanine

The synthesis of stable guanofosfocin analogues has attracted considerable attention in the past 15 years. Several guanofosfocin analogues mimicking the three constitutional elements of mannose, ribose, and guanine were designed and synthes...

Identification of Lichen Based on Substrate in Bale Village, Tanantovea District, Donggala Regency

Lichens are associations between fungi and photosynthetic symbionts, such as algae or cyanobacteria, that form stable and specialized thallus structures. The fungi that predominantly compose the lichen body belong to the Ascomycetes, while ...

Engineered Bacterial Cellulose Nanostructured Matrix for Incubation and Release of Drug-Loaded Oil in Water Nanoemulsion

Bacterial cellulose (BC) is a highly pure form of cellulose produced by bacteria, which possesses numerous advantages such as good mechanical properties, high chemical flexibility, and the ability to assemble in nanostructures. Thanks to th...
