Moving to images. Experimental animation and Neurodiversity in Eight Point Star by Fernando Diniz and Marcos Magalhães
No full text[EN] Eight Point Star is a Brazilian short film released in 1996, drawn by Fernando Diniz, with Marcos Magalhães as animation coordinator. It is the first animated film in Brazil made by a neurodiverse and Afro[1]descendant artist. This article seeks to describe and analyze the short film, which has received little attention from academia and Hispanic American film critics, taking as a frame of reference the perspective of neurodiversity and Outsider art. It recovers the reflections made by Diniz himself in the film, as well as what Magalhães wrote about the process, in order to discover and describe from the collaborative work of both artists how the image fulfills an aesthetic and sociocultural function by legitimizing and dignifying Diniz s artistic work, while allowing viewers to immerse themselves in a representation of Diniz s inner life.[ES] Eight Point Star es un cortometraje brasileño estrenado en 1996, dibujado por Fernando Diniz, con Marcos Magalhães como coordinador de animación.

A new genus for Stromatium chilensis Cerda, 1968 (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae: Cerambycinae: Hesperophanini) from Chile
No full textStromatium chilensis Cerda, 1968, an endemic species from Chile, is placed in Malcho Mondaca and Beéche, new genus (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae: Cerambycinae: Hesperophanini). The new genus is compared with Stromatium Audinet-Serville, included in a previous key to Hesperophanini, and a diagnosis and illustrations of the species are provided.

The genus Stromatium Audinet-Serville, 1834, considered to be one of the most economically significant longhorn beetle genera (due to the species’ ability to develop in seasoned timber, and be transported through commerce), includes six species known mainly from Europe, Africa, Asia, Australia, and South America (Martins and Galileo 1999; Jin et al. 2019; Tavakilian and Chevillotte 2021). One species was described from Chile (Cerda 1968). However, it does not belong to the genus Stromatium (Martins and Galileo 1999; Jin et al. 2019).
Recently, while we studied specimens of an undetermined cerambycid collected in the Andes and coastal range of Chile, we noticed that they correspond to Stromatium chilensis Cerda, 1968. This species, endemic to the Nothofagus Blume forests of central-southern Chile is herein transferred to a new taxon. We also include habitus photographs of the species to help with correct identification
Courageous women in media: Marcos and censorship in the Philippines
No full textWhen Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos declared Martial Law in 1972, press freedom became the first casualty in the country that once boasted of being the 'freest in Asia'. Printing presses, newspaper offices, television and radio stations were raided and padlocked. Marcos was especially fearful of the press and ordered the arrest of journalists whom he charged with conspiring with the 'Left'. Pressured into lifting martial law after nearly 10 years, Marcos continued to censor the media, often demanding publishers to sack journalists whose writing he disapproved of. Ironically, he used the same 'subversive writings' as proof to Western observers that freedom of the press was alive and well under his dictatorship. This article looks at the writings of three female journalists from the Bulletin Today. The author examines the work of Arlene Babst, Ninez Cacho-Olivares, and Melinda de Jesus and how they traversed the dictator's fickle, sometimes volatile, reception of their writing. Interviewed is Ninez Cacho-Olivare, who used humour and fairy tales in her popular column to criticise Marcos, his wife, Imelda, and even the military that would occasionally 'invite' her for questioning. She explains an unwritten code of conduct between Marcos and female journalists that served to shield them from total political repression
Producing Ferdinand E. Marcos, the Scholarly Author
No full textThisarticle discusses the compelling evidence—found in various primaryand secondary sources and analyzed through methods drawn from bookhistory and plagiarism detection—that not one of the books authored byPres. Ferdinand E. Marcos was actually written by him. Thearticle alsoshows how many of “Marcos’s” books had either plagiarized content(e.g., republishing contents from previous works) or were “padded” withlengthy appendices. It also explains the seemingly far-reaching distributionnetwork of these books. Lastly, thearticle looks into how these books,although they have not been republished for decades, continue to servetheir intended functions.KEYWORDS: FERDINAND E.

CFD based aerodynamic redesign of a Marcos LM600
No full textThe final years of the 1960s mark the introduction of aerodynamics to the field of motorsport and they have grown to be inextricably connected ever since. The competing cars in nearly every motorsport category are fitted with aerodynamic devices while Formula One teams actually have departments that are primarily concerned with the aerodynamic design of their vehicles. The GT-class is another motorsport category that hosts cars that are predominantly shaped with the aim to optimize aerodynamic efficiency. The Marcos LM600 is one of the cars that competes in the GT-class and forms the sculpture of this thesis. The subject of this thesis is to enhance the aerodynamic characteristics of the Marcos LM600 through utilization of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). This implies that on going through this report a number of modifications to the Marcos LM600 will be presented with the aim of obtaining an aerodynamically improved racing car. In a sense the Marcos LM600 thus resembles a sculpture that assumes its final shape after a succession of modifications. The aerodynamic characteristics that are of primary significance to a racing car are the downforce and drag. The obvious target is to maximize the downforce and downforce-to-drag ratio. Apart from this force ratio, the downforce distribution between the wheel axes is another important racing car characteristic. The actual handling stability of the car is determined by the force balance between the front and rear wheels. Too much ”grip” on the front wheels causes oversteer, while too much rear wheel grip causes understeer. Thus when designing racing cars, the aerodynamicist should take into account the front wheel and rear wheel downforce and to obtain either a vehicle with neutral steer or slightly oversteer1. However, vehicle handling is beyond the scope of this thesis, which is why the Marcos LM600 will only be optimized in terms of downforce and drag, leaving out their effect on the vehicle stability.Aerospace Engineerin
