MARCAS JUDAICAS EM “COMO VIEMOS PARAR A AMAZÔNIA” DE SULTANA LEVY ROSENBLATT
No full textA pesquisa em questão faz parte do projeto de pesquisa Ecos sefarditas: judeus na Amazônia, desenvolvido no campus de Bragança. A investigação tem como escopo fazer uma análise dos aspectos de judeidade presentes nas obras da autora amazônida Sultana Levy Rosenblatt, cuja origem é judaico-sefardista. Para fazer essa sondagem, teremos como principal metodologia a pesquisa bibliográfica referente à presença de judeus sefarditas em território amazônico. Para tanto, autores como Samuel Bechimol, Reginaldo Heller, entre outros, nos fornecerão embasamento teórico histórico. Também será feita a análise de alguns escritos literários da escritora Sultana Levy Rosenblatt. Neste propósito, selecionou-se um texto da referida autora, a saber: “Como viemos parar a Amazônia”. Fez-se também um intertexto com o ensaio “Reminiscências de uma judia marroquina” de Clara Koshen. Em tais escritos, respectivamente, é possível encontrar a presença da cultura judaica de forma veemente. No primeiro, identificamos o processo de imigração de um jovem judeu, vindo da região de Marrocos, para uma comunidade desconhecida, com condições precárias, comparando-se às grandes cidades. A autora narra as aventuras desse jovem, bisavô de Sultana, o qual buscava encontrar prosperidade em terras amazônicas. Na segunda obra, destaca-se a presença das tradições judaicas, as quais são marcadamente descritas, pela autora, como uma forma de preservar a cultura de origem. Diante do exposto é possível inferir que a escritora busca rememorar traços da cultura judaica em terras amazônicas.

ABSTRACT: The research in question is part of the Sephardic Ecos research project: Jews in the Amazon, developed on the campus of Bragança. The investigation has as scope to make an analysis of the aspects of Jewishness present in the works of the Amazonian author Sultana Levy Rosenblatt, whose origin is Jewish-Sephardic. To do this survey, we will have as main methodology the bibliographic research concerning the presence of Sephardic Jews in Amazonian territory. For such, authors such as Samuel Bechimol, Reginaldo Heller, among others, will provide us with historical theoretical background. Also will be made the analysis of some literary writings of the writer Sultana Levy Rosenblatt. In this purpose, a text of the author was selected, namely: "How we came to stop the Amazon". An intertext was also made with the essay "Reminiscences of a Moroccan Jew" by Clara Koshen. In such writings, respectively, it is possible to find the presence of Jewish culture vehemently. In the first, we identified the process of immigration of a young Jewish man from the region of Morocco into an unknown community with precarious conditions compared to the large cities. The author narrates the adventures of this young man, great-grandfather of Sultana, who sought to find prosperity in Amazonian lands. The second work highlights the presence of Jewish traditions, which are markedly described by the author as a way of preserving the culture of origin. In view of the above, it is possible to infer that the writer seeks to recall traces of the Jewish culture in Amazonian lands.

Mizoguchi-Takahashi local contractions to Feng-Liu contractions
No full text[EN] In this article, we establish that any uniformly local Mizoguchi-Takahashi contraction is actually a set-valued contraction due to Feng and Liu on a metrically convex complete metric space. Through an example, we demonstrate that this result need not hold on any arbitrary metric space. Furthermore, when the metric space is compact, we derive that any Mizoguchi-Takahashi local contraction and Nadler local contraction are equivalent. Moreover, a result related to invariant best approximation is established.The first author would like to acknowledge the Ministry of Human Resource Development, India for providing financial assistance during the research work.

Twisted Turquoiseries:Emulation and Critique in Miguel de Cervantes’ La gran sultana Catalina de Oviedo
No full textCervantes’ only surviving Turkish play, La gran sultana Catalina de Oviedo (1607/8), narrates the story of a Spanish captive in the Topkapi harem whose beauty conquers the heart of Murad III. Plot and setting allow the author not only to pursue his own fascination with the ‘other’ of Western Christianity, but also to critically examine the cultural forms of this fascination circulating in Spain at the time. Thus, the play’s emulation of popular forms such as captivity tales and Byzantine martyr legends becomes an ambiguous inversion of the ideology that they harbour and even a tongue-in-cheek ideology critique

Male victimization of women Covered in Society’s Expectation in Razia Sultana Khan’s Seduction: The Perspective of Seven Building Tasks of Language
No full textLiving in the society’s expectation is like we are forced to do what they want us to do and it is in the circle of hell. At one time, we need society as the means to communicate and be a natural human being. At the other hands, its culture and custom destroy ourselves especially those who have sexist culture and custom. This Bangladesh short story titled Seduction is one of the representatives of society that has sexist culture. It tells about a young girl who is forced to marry at the young age and becomes the object of her husband’s sexual trinket. What the writer wants to emphasize is the way the author named Razia Sultana Khan describe the treatment and the culture through Paul Gee’s seven language blocks’ perspective. The result of the discussion is that this short story, indeed, contains some of the seven building blocks that are significance, activities, identities, relationships, politics, connections and sign systems and knowledge.Living in the society’s expectation is like we are forced to do what they want us to do and it is in the circle of hell.

Research trends on occupational stress of female employees: a bibliometric analysis / Nafia Sultana, Anusuiya Subramaniam and Wong Foong Yee
No full textThe study aims to examine the research trends on occupational stress of female employees between the period of 1973 to 2022 using bibliometric analysis. A total of 508 research documents have been analysed in the study. A systematic process flow has been followed to extract the research documents from the Scopus database. The findings from the analysis showed that the research trends on occupational stress of female employees have ups and downs since the beginning. Based on the highest publications to the related research on occupational stress of women, Finland has been placed as the most productive country, followed by the United States, Sweden and United Kingdom. The most active authors are Kivimäki, Vahtera J and Virtanen in terms of number of publications and number of total citations. Several future research areas have been identified from the results of the VOSviewer networking map. It is found from the growing number of author keywords in the literature are stress, gender, mental health, occupational health and working conditions which have potential literature gaps to work on in future. The results of the study have also opened a new avenue for the future researchers and industry practitioners to work on occupational stress related issues to understand the cause and consequences of it

No full textProtease-producing Bacillus strains from Kochi and their effects on growth and digestive enzyme activity of juvenile Snubnose pompano
No full textThe study investigated the capacity of a novel probiotic consortium, from the screening of potential strains to its application, providing insights to current measures of sustainability in aquaculture practices followed in the south west coast of India. Each candidate bacterial strain, screened from Kochi, south west coast of India was evaluated for probiotic features of cell surface hydrophobicity, auto aggregation capacity and biofilm forming ability. The goal was to get preliminary insights in to the efficacy of the novel consortium. A feeding trial determined the effects in growth performance of Trachinotus blochii juvenile when fed with commercial feed substituted with graded levels of the consortium, comprising—Bacillus aerius sourced from marine sediment, B. altitudinis from seawater, and B. pumilus from the gut of adult Trachinotus blochii. At the end of the feeding trial, the growth parameters: weight gain percentage, specific growth rate (SGR), protein efficiency ratio (PER) and feed conversion ratio (FCR); and digestive protease activity was assessed. The results revealed a significant improvement (p < 0.05) in the growth performance of the juvenile Snubnose pompano that were supplied with the probiotic strains when compared to a control group fed with a commercial fish diet devoid of any probiotic supplementation. The optimum dietary supplementation level for the novel probiotic consortium was identified as 107 CFU/g. The results will contribute to the current knowledge base on both gut microbiome of T. blochii, and the probiotic supplementation practice for commercially important finfishes
