PEMAKNAAN GENDER DAN KAITANNYA DENGAN LGBT (Studi Fenomenologi Perempuan Penonton Drama Boys’ Love Thailand di Kota Bandung)
Full text linkPenelitian ini dilatarbelakangi oleh meningkatnya popularitas drama Boys’ Love Thailand di kalangan perempuan Indonesia dan bagaimana tayangan tersebut berpotensi membentuk pemaknaan baru mengenai gender serta sikap terhadap LGBT. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk memahami konstruksi gender yang dimiliki perempuan penonton drama Boys’ Love Thailand, menggali proses terbentuknya pemaknaan gender baru setelah menonton, serta menganalisis keterkaitan pemaknaan tersebut dengan penerimaan terhadap LGBT. Metode yang digunakan adalah kualitatif dengan pendekatan fenomenologi melalui wawancara mendalam, observasi, dan studi dokumentasi terhadap tujuh informan perempuan berusia 18–30 tahun yang aktif mengonsumsi drama Boys’ Love Thailand. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pemaknaan gender informan dibentuk oleh pengalaman sosialisasi gender sejak kecil yang cenderung patriarkal, kemudian mengalami perubahan melalui representasi relasi yang setara, ekspresi gender yang fleksibel, dan narasi cinta yang tidak terbatas pada heteronormativitas dalam drama Boys’ Love Thailand sehingga memicu pergeseran pemaknaan gender. Meskipun demikian, informan tetap melakukan negosiasi antara pandangan baru dan nilai-nilai sosial yang telah mereka anut, sehingga penerimaan terhadap LGBT cenderung bersifat personal, selektif, dan kontekstual. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa drama Boys’ Love Thailand berfungsi sebagai ruang refleksi yang memungkinkan terbentuknya renegosiasi makna gender, namun belum sepenuhnya mengubah sikap sosial informan terhadap LGBT di kehidupan nyata, terutama ketika berhadapan dengan norma budaya dan religius yang dominan. ;
This study is motivated by the growing popularity of Thai Boys’ Love (BL) dramas among Indonesian women and how such media potentially shapes new understandings of gender and attitudes toward LGBT issues. The purpose of this research is to explore the gender constructions held by female viewers of Thai Boys’ Love dramas, examine the process through which new gender meanings are formed after viewing, and analyze how these meanings relate to their acceptance of LGBT individuals. This study employs a qualitative method with a phenomenological approach through In-depth Interviews, observations, and document analysis involving seven female informants aged 18–30 who actively consume Thai Boys’ Love dramas. The findings indicate that the participants’ gender meanings were initially shaped by early gender socialization characterized by patriarchal norms, but gradually shifted through representations of egalitarian relationships, flexible gender expressions, and non-heteronormative depictions of romance in Boys’ Love narratives. However, the informants continued to negotiate between these new perspectives and the social values they had long internalized, resulting in attitudes toward LGBT individuals that remain personal, selective, and contextual. The study concludes that Thai Boys’ Love dramas function as a reflective space that enables the renegotiation of gender meanings, yet do not fully transform viewers’ social attitudes toward LGBT identities in real-life contexts, particularly when confronted with prevailing cultural and religious norms
Dentro «Il podere» di Federigo Tozzi: la 'tecnica del montaggio'
No full textThis article analyses a particular assembly technique used by Federigo Tozzi in composing his texts. The case of study is offered by one of his major novels, «Il podere» (1921), whose manuscript reveals how Tozzi deliberatly left some descriptives parts to be completed later. To reach this completion, the author could work en plein air, to catch a landscape as a painter would have done, otherwise re-use some pages written years before. In this second case, the pages here re-used are taken from the typescript of «Adele» (1979, posthumous), the well-known first novel never published by Tozzi but rather dis-mantled, put aside and kept in a drawer as a sort of tank of useful pages, to be re-used if necessary
Edizione e commento dei Cypria
No full textMy research has as its goal the critical edition, translation into Italian, and commentary of the fragments of a lost poem, entitled Cypria, (the first one of the Troy cycle, dated around VII-VI century B.C.). My work is based on the Bernabé edition, but differs from this one both for editorial choices and for the exclusion of some fragments from the text.
Through the formulaic and linguistic analysis of the textual fragments it is possible to assess what formulaic repertory was used by the poet (at the same time traditional and innovative) and to date the poem, even if the version we possess could not be the original one but a later Attic copy.
For other fragments that lack attribution to an author or a title, it is possible to hypothesize their inclusion in the poem thanks to the indication included in the sources of the “Neoteroi” (cyclic poets), to be identified specifically with the author of Cypria. The attribution of frr. 6-7 (rather, their author is Nevius, a minor Latin poet), 12 and 16 B. to this poem is dubious. The same goes for 12 B., concerning Helen’s children, perhaps authored by a local Cypriot historian, and for 16. My analysis has underscored the characteristic nature of this poem, i.e., its “ethos,” quite different from the one of the Iliad because of the proliferation of fantastic, miraculous, and romantic scenes; the constant presence of the divine, of non-heroic episodes, and of various aspects of conviviality. Therefore the Cypria, are less linked to the heroic values expressed in the Iliad and offer the possibility of exploring and analyzing the epic in a different way and yet within the same tradition, by emphasizing some myths and/or some aspects and marginalizing others. In fact, in four fragments we may also find a local or epichoric aspect in the way they treat some myths.Oggetto della ricerca è l’edizione, la traduzione, il commento dei frammenti di un poema perduto, i Cypria (collocato all’inizio del ciclo epico troiano e databile al VII-VI sec. a.C.). Il lavoro prende come punto di riferimento l’edizione di Bernabé; tuttavia si discosta in parte da essa sia per quanto concerne alcune scelte editoriali, sia per l’inclusione di alcuni frammenti di contenuto.
Grazie all’analisi formulare e linguistica condotta sui frammenti testuali è possibile trarre delle considerazioni sia sul repertorio di formule usato dal poeta (in parte tradizionale, in parte innovativo) sia sulla datazione del poema, anche se la veste linguistica in cui è pervenuto potrebbe non essere quella originaria (ipotesi di successiva redazione attica).
L’analisi dei frammenti di contenuto ha permesso di ricostruire più in dettaglio episodi la cui presenza è attestata anche nella trama del poema esemplata da Proclo. Per altri frammenti invece, nonostante l’assenza nelle fonti del titolo o dell’autore, si può ipotizzare una loro assegnazione al poema per l’attribuzione delle vicende narrate ai poeti Neoteroi o ciclici, da identificarsi con i poeti del ciclo, in particolare con l’autore dei Cypria. È emersa inoltre la dubbia attribuzione dei frr. 6-7 B. (da attribuire a Nevio, un oscuro poeta latino); 12 B. sui figli di Elena (forse di uno storico locale cipriota); 16. L’analisi ha evidenziato la caratteristica peculiare del poema, il cui ethos si distingue nettamente da quello dell’Iliade (per la presenza di episodi di carattere romanzesco, connessi con il magico e il favoloso; per la costante presenza dell’elemento divino, di episodi poco rispondenti alle virtù eroiche o di aspetti quali la commensalità). Pertanto i Cypria, che dimostrano un’aderenza minore ai valori eroici espressi nell’Iliade, evidenziano la possibilità, all’interno di un medesima tradizione, di trattare in modo differente la materia epica, enfatizzandone alcuni miti e/o aspetti e marginalizzandone altri. È inoltre rilevabile in quattro frammenti una componente locale o epicorica nella trattazione di alcuni miti
Constitutional Jurisdictions in the ICT Revolution: Looking for legitimacy through communication
Full text linkThe article discusses the growing importance of the communication of constitutional and supreme courts with public opinion and how new technologies are transforming this relationship. It highlights the need for an empirical analysis of court communication, due to the scarcity of norms regulating these activities. The author examines the generators.
The object, the tools, and the recipients of the communication of 27 constitutional jurisdictions worldwide.
The research was conducted using three types of tools. First, an examination of the courts’ websites and social media platforms. Secondly, a dedicated questionnaire was submitted from scholars of the respective jurisdictions. Finally, the publications on the subject were considered, although they are rather limited and sporadic.
The main findings of the research are that in the last fifteen years, almost all the analysed courts have changed their communication strategies. In many cases, these changes have been promoted by some prominent chief justices, and they covered both the communication tools (there was a shift from communication through websites and press releases to social networks), its content (which extended from judicial to extrajudicial activities, and especially to the promotion of constitutional literacy), and the recipients of the communication (which are more and more the general public).
It concludes by discussing the reasons for this change, the risks, and the potentialities it involves, especially in the context of the democratic backsliding that many democracies are experiencing. The tendency of the courts to resort to extrajudicial activities to promote the constitution is a symptomatic element of a gap in constitutional democracy, i.e., the need to strengthen the instruments to promote the constitution, including through educational and institutional innovations, a gap that should be taken seriously and addressed by scholars
Role of age at diagnosis in defining potential familial nonmedullary thyroid cancer in kindreds with two affected members
No full textContext
The definition of familial nonmedullary thyroid cancer (FNMTC) in 2 or more first-degree relatives is controversial due to the high probability of observing a sporadic association when only 2 members of first-degree relatives are affected.
Objective
To evaluate the role of age at diagnosis in differentiating the true cases of FNMTC.
Design, Setting, Participants, and Main Outcome
From a group of 721 papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) patients, 95 familial PTC (FPTC) patients with 2 first-degree relatives have been identified. They were split in 2 groups: Group 1 consisted of both the proband and the affected relative, with age at diagnosis ≤ 45 years; Group 2 consisted of proband and/or the affected family member, with age at diagnosis > 45 years. The clinical-pathological features and outcome of both FPTC groups were compared with 626 sporadic PTC patients (SPTC).
Results
Familial PTC patients with age at diagnosis ≤ 45 years, compared with the matched group of sporadic PTCs, had a more frequent multifocal, bilateral, and extrathyroidal extension of tumor and showed worse outcome. No differences were found between FPTC and SPTC patients with age > 45 years. At multivariate analysis, distant metastases, American Thyroid Association (ATA) risk, and FPTC ≤ 45 years were independent predictors of outcome.
Conclusions
Based on the observation that PTC is more aggressive when the diagnosis is made in 2 family members, both with age < 45years, we suggest that the definition of FPTC in kindreds with 2 affected members should also take into account the age at diagnosis as a key element of familial cancer.

REALITAS KEKERASAN DAN PELECEHAN PEREMPUAN DI TEMPAT KERJA: ANALISIS PERSPEKTIF GENDER
No full textThe amount of violence and harassment that women still experience in the workplace shows that there is no safe and comfortable place for women in the public environment, especially the workplace. The 2023 International Labour Organisation (ILO) Survey results also indicate that Indonesia is among the nations experiencing an emergency scenario of workplace violence. Based on this background, the research aims to shed light on the reality of workplace violence and harassment against women from a gender perspective. The literature review method was employed in this study. This approach uses numerous references from books, articles, and earlier research journals. This study used secondary data for its data collection. International journal databases like Google Scholar, Pubmed, Researchget, and Crossref were used for journal searches. The terms "violence and harassment of women in the workplace" and "violence against women at the workplace" are used in the search for data sources. The findings of the research point to the complexity of the issue of violence and harassment against women in the workplace, which is influenced by a variety of individual factors, structures, and norms. Through the individual aspect, it is understood that women are always portrayed by inherent gender stereotypes that can lead to violence and harassment. Meanwhile, through the aspects of structure and norms, it is understood that there is a role of power relations and hierarchical structures attached to gender identity in shaping an environment that allows violence and harassment to occur. A strategic step that can be taken is to incorporate the institutionalisation of gender issues coupled with an understanding of gender from the human side to place every gender, both women and men, together to feel safe
O "homo viator" na Divina Commedia e no Grande Sertão: veredas
Full text linkTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão. Programa de Pós-Graduação em LiteraturaEsta tese busca problematizar um estudo comparado entre a Divina commedia e o Grande sertão: veredas a partir da noção de "Homo viator". Para tanto, nossa análise se concentrou sobre a percepção do aprimoramento do viajante que é também o protagonista nas duas obras Este viajante ficcional é concebido segundo um feixe de relações que Dante-autor e Guimarães Rosa realizam ao compor suas obras, de maneira que nos primeiro e segundo capítulos nos detivemos em alguns destes elementos, a saber: a presença da noção de êxodo bíblico bem como do viajante náutico greco-latino na caracterização deste viajante, o recurso ao narrador-protagonista e a composição das obras como literatura de viagem. Para analisar estes elementos nos utilizamos dos postulados da literatura comparada, da teoria dos arquétipos e da metafísica platônica. Por fim, no terceiro capítulo, realizamos um confronto entre dois episódios das referidas obras: a viagem de Ulisses presente no canto XXVI do Inferno e a viagem ao Liso do Sussuarão presente no Grande sertão: veredas. Este estudo tem por finalidade apresentar o "Homo viator" como metáfora da incansável busca humana da verdade.This dissertation performs a comparative study between the Divina Commedia and Grande Sertão: Veredas, having as a starting-point the notion of "Homo viator". Our analysis focuses on the path towards improvement undertaken by the "traveler", who is also the protagonist in both works. This fictional traveler is conceived of as a nexus of relationships that Dante-the-author and Guimarães Rosa construct in the making of each of their works, and it is to some of these relationships that we will pay attention in the first and second chapters, namely: the notion of the biblical exodus; the figure of the Roman-Greek nautical traveler in the characterization of the "homo viator"; the narratorprotagonist as a narrative device; and the caracterization of the works as travel literature. In order to perform an analysis of such elements, we draw our theoretical premises from the field of comparative literature, the theory of archetypes, and Platonic metaphysics. Lastly, in the third chapter, we compare and contrast two episodes from the referred works: the journey undertook by Ulysses in Canto XXVI of the Inferno, and the crossing of the "Liso do Sussuarão" in Grande Sertão: Veredas. The current work aims to present the "Homo viator"as a metaphor for the indefatigable human quest for truth
Penerapan Media Papan Paku untuk Meningkatkan Keaktifan Belajar Siswa Kelas III di Sanggar Belajar Muhammadiyah Kepong Malaysia
Full text linkInterview results revealed that the learning participation of grade III students was low caused by a lack of learning media that was less interesting, causing students to quickly feel bored and less involved in learning, especially flat material. The limited variety of learning media made it difficult for students to understand the concepts in depth, resulting in their low activity levels in learning. The aim of this research is to evaluate how effective the use of bulletin board media is in enhancing active participation among third-grade students in learning about flat shapes. The research sample consisted of 10 students, and the method used was Classroom Action Research (CAR), which was conducted in 2 cycles, each consisting of the stages of planning, application, observation, and reflection. Data were collected through interviews and tests to measure the level of student activity before and after the use of bulletin board media. The results indicated that the use of bulletin board media in teaching flat shapes significantly increased student engagement. The percentage of student activity rose from 65% in the first cycle to 87.5% in the second cycle. Thus, bulletin board media proved to be effective in enhancing active student participation and helping them better understand the concepts of flat shapes

Genetic risk and a primary role for cell-mediated immune mechanisms in multiple sclerosis
Full text linkMultiple sclerosis is a common disease of the central nervous system in which the interplay between inflammatory and neurodegenerative processes typically results in intermittent neurological disturbance followed by progressive accumulation of disability. Epidemiological studies have shown that genetic factors are primarily responsible for the substantially increased frequency of the disease seen in the relatives of affected individuals, and systematic attempts to identify linkage in multiplex families have confirmed that variation within the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) exerts the greatest individual effect on risk. Modestly powered genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have enabled more than 20 additional risk loci to be identified and have shown that multiple variants exerting modest individual effects have a key role in disease susceptibility. Most of the genetic architecture underlying susceptibility to the disease remains to be defined and is anticipated to require the analysis of sample sizes that are beyond the numbers currently available to individual research groups. In a collaborative GWAS involving 9,772 cases of European descent collected by 23 research groups working in 15 different countries, we have replicated almost all of the previously suggested associations and identified at least a further 29 novel susceptibility loci. Within the MHC we have refined the identity of the HLA-DRB1 risk alleles and confirmed that variation in the HLA-A gene underlies the independent protective effect attributable to the class I region. Immunologically relevant genes are significantly overrepresented among those mapping close to the identified loci and particularly implicate T-helper-cell differentiation in the pathogenesis of multiple sclerosis
