Authors: Michele Michele Batista dos Santos , Vizconde Veraszto Estéfano
Published: December 2024

A educação especial tem sido pauta de vários trabalhos, e atualmente existem diversas leis que garantem a educação para pessoas com deficiência. Entretanto, muitos estudos mostram que as escolas regulares estão longe de propor um ambiente inclusivo, e que os professores se mostram muitas vezes despreparados para lidar com tais sujeitos. Partindo desse pressuposto investigou-se o ensino de química e a trajetória escolar de deficientes visuais que se formaram nos anos de 2006, 2015, 2016 e 2017 desde a educação básica até o ensino superior. Através da Análise Textual discursiva (MORAES, 2003) foi possível descobrir a trajetória escolar e como foi o ensino de química desses deficientes visuais. Dessa forma, esse trabalho aponta as dificuldades e os desafios que deficientes visuais possuem para aprender química e de professores para ensiná-los.

Authors: Nikitin Oleg I. , Khalimalova Aracbathinia O. , Yudin Andrey L. , Yumatova Elena A.
Published: December 2024

BACKGROUND: In clinical practice, pulmonary edema still remains one of the threatening conditions with high mortality, despite the sufficiently large attention from the investigators. The classic pulmonary edema is well studied, having its specific x-ray signs, while the unilateral pulmonary edema occurs rarely and causes difficulties in the differential diagnostics performed by the radiologist. CLINICAL CASE DESCRIPTION: The presented material includes cases of ipsi- and contralateral unilateral reexpansion pulmonary edema. These complications have developed as a consequence of rapid evacuation of the pathological content from the pleural cavity. CONCLUSION: Reexpansion pulmonary edema is a rare, though potentially life-threatening condition, which usually occurs as a result of rapid expansion of long-term collapsed lung, for example, in cases of pneumothorax and pleural effusion. The edema may develop several hours after the expansion of the atelectasis.
Determining the amount of water and the total acid number index in the hydraulic oil of the Austoft 7000 sugarcane harvester with visible/near-infrared spectroscopy technology

Published: December 2024

The current era witnesses significant challenges in the realm of sugarcane harvesting, primarily stemming from the assessment and high maintenance costs associated with sugarcane harvesting machines. Consequently, there arises a crucial need for a rapid and non-destructive method of
monitoring the hydraulic oil of sugarcane harvesters, facilitating the determination of pollution levels and the total acid number (TAN) index. This study delves into the efficacy of visible/ near-infrared spectroscopy as a non-destructive means of measuring and predicting the water content
and TAN index in hydraulic oil samples extracted from Austoft 7000 sugarcane harvesters with varying numbers of operational hours. To achieve this objective, hydraulic oil samples are subjected to analysis within the spectral range of 400-1800 nm. Multivariate regression models are developed
based on reference measurements and preprocessed spectral data. Various preprocessing methods including moving average (MA), Savitzky-Golay (SG) smoothing, standard normal distribution and first derivative are employed to enhance the accuracy of water content and TAN index predictions. The
findings underscore the viability of visible/near-infrared spectrometry for rapid and non-destructive assessment of the water content and TAN index in the hydraulic oil across different operational phases of Austoft 7000 sugarcane harvesters. Notably, the partial least squares (PLS) model
utilising a moving average preprocessing method exhibits the most promising results in predicting the water content in the hydraulic oil (cross-validation correlation coefficient (rcv) = 0.98, root mean square error of cross-validation (RMSECV) = 1.32, predictive correlation coefficient
(rp) = 0.93 and root mean square error of prediction (RMSEP) = 2.49), boasting excellent accuracy (standard deviation ratio (SDR) = 3.99). Similarly, the PLS model incorporating a combination of moving average preprocessing and standard normal distribution demonstrates exceptional
accuracy in predicting the TAN index (SDR = 3.87) (rcv = 0.98, RMSECV = 0.004, rp = 0.93 and RMSEP = 0.008). Consequently, the utilisation of visible/near-infrared spectroscopy technology is advocated within the agricultural and industrial domains to expedite the monitoring
of hydraulic oil quality and pollution control processes.

Published: December 2024

Spectral source parameters used to estimate an earthquake’s stress drop (Δσ) can vary significantly across measurement approaches. The Statewide California Earthquake Center/U.S. Geological Survey Community Stress-Drop Validation Study was initiated to compare source parameter estimates, focusing initially on a dataset from the 2019 Ridgecrest earthquake sequence. As part of that validation effort, here we focus on one potential source of uncertainty: whether spectral fitting approaches alone, applied to a common set of spectra from the 2019 Ridgecrest sequence result in different source parameter estimates. By using a common set of benchmark spectra analyzed across a consistent frequency band of 1–40 Hz, we eliminate many sources of variability. A subgroup of validation study participants volunteered to estimate the low-frequency displacement (Ω0) and corner frequency (fc) by fitting a smooth function to benchmark displacement spectra. Participants used linear- or log-sampled spectra, assumed a Brune or Boatwright spectral model, and applied different misfit criteria. We compare 17 approaches used to estimate Ω0, fc, and Δσ for 54 earthquake spectra. Our results reveal that 35% of events have Δσ estimates within a factor of two, whereas others exhibit variations exceeding an order of magnitude. The variability in Ω0 and fc can largely be attributed to whether a spectrum is consistent with the smooth function of an idealized simple crack model. The trade-off between Ω0 and fc may be more pronounced when using linearly sampled spectra, as higher frequency spectral bumps control the fits. As expected, methods that assumed a Boatwright model tended to have lower Ω0 and somewhat higher fc compared to those assuming a Brune model, although resulting Δσ estimates are similar. When compared to the overall validation study results, the fitting approach alone may account for between 5% and 90% (25% on average) of the total variability in spectral Δσ.

Published: December 2024

In spacecraft load-bearing structures, adhesive bonding of titanium alloy and composite material parts is often used. To increase the strength of the adhesive bond of the titanium-carbon fiber reinforced plastic pair, preliminary treatment of the bonded surfaces is necessary. In this paper, it is proposed to use laser texturing to process the metal surface. The main objective of the study is to experimentally determine the strength characteristics of the adhesive bond of carbon fiber reinforced plastic and titanium alloy with different modes of laser processing of the metal surface and to determine the effect of thermal cycling on the samples of the adhesive bond. The surface of the OT-4 titanium alloy was laser processed in different modes, after which the samples were glued with VK-9 and LOCTITE® EA 9394 AERO glue. The glued samples were subjected to thermal cycling in a vacuum chamber in the temperature range from –150 to +150 °C. Shear testing of adhesive bond samples showed that laser texturing increases bond strength by an average of 60% for LOCTITE® EA 9394 AERO adhesive and by 142% for VK-9 adhesive. Samples with laser texturing have a cohesive nature of failure on carbon fiber. During thermal cycling, most samples show a slight decrease in adhesive bond strength by an average of 6...8%. The results show that the use of laser processing to prepare titanium alloy before bonding with composite material is a promising method for increasing the strength of adhesive bonds for spacecraft components.

Model of interaction between laser radiation and metal powder composition during direct laser growth
Authors: Balyakin A. V.
Published: December 2024

This paper presents a model for analyzing the interaction of laser radiation and a metal-powder composition in the process of direct laser growing of large-sized combustion chambers of gas turbine engines. The metal-powder composition is fed into the melting zone coaxially with laser radiation; the task is to completely melt the powder with laser radiation before it enters the melt bath on the construction platform. The laser radiation is absorbed as it passes through the gas-powder jet, and its energy is also used to melt the construction platform or the previous layer. Thus, in order to determine the parameters of the operating conditions that provide the possibility of melting powder particles, it is necessary to determine the boundaries of the parameters at which each particle of the metal-powder composition completely melts in a gas-powder jet. To simulate heat transfer inside a particle, the Beer – Lambert laser radiation absorption law was used using the lumped parameter approach. The required energy for melting the powder material was determined through enthalpy. The resulting one-dimensional differential equation of enthalpy increment is solved numerically by the Euler method. Using this model, the distance from the point of origin of the interaction of the laser beam with a metal-powder composition to the zone of its complete melting was determined and the effect of the velocity of the gas-powder jet, the power of laser radiation, the bulk density of the metal-powder composition and the average radius of the powder particles on the distance to the zone of complete melting was studied.

Sürdürülebilirlik çabalarında pazarlama disiplinin rolü ve sorumluluklarına ilişkin görüşler farklı perspektiflerde kutuplaşmış durumdadır. Birinci grupta pazarlama, sürdürülebilirliğin önündeki bir engel (hastalığın nedeni) olarak konumlanmakta, ikinci grupta ise sürdürülebilir bir geleceğe erişmede yegâne bir araç (tedavinin parçası) olarak kabul edilmektedir. Üçüncü grup, iki karşıt alanda kutuplaşan görüşlerin ılımlı bir birleşimi ortaya koymaktadır. Buna göre pazarlama ne doğrudan sürdürülebilirliğin karşıtıdır ne de sürdürülebilir bir geleceği tek başına inşa edebilecek yegâne bir kurtarıcıdır. Çalışmada sürdürülebilir kalkınma amaçlarında (bundan sonra SKA) pazarlama disiplininin potansiyel rolü ve sorumluluklarına ilişkin bir çerçeve oluşturularak okuyuculara eleştirel bir bakış açısı kazandırılması amaçlanmıştır. Bu kapsamda pazarlamada yazınındaki sürdürülebilirlik odağı tarihsel gelişim içinde ve baskın sosyal paradigma bağlamında incelenmiştir.

Background and Objectives: The most common cause of severe foodborne salmonellosis is S. Typhimurium. Its interaction with intestinal epithelial cells is little known. Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) were recognized as a prominent probiotic gastroin- testinal microbiota of humans and animals that confer health-promoting and protective effects. This study aims to determine the anti-invasion and antibacterial effects of heat-killed LAB (HK-LAB) isolates against S. Typhimurium towards human intestinal cells.
Materials and Methods: 12 HK-LAB isolates from 3 sources of origin (stingless bee, plant, and food) were tested to determine the adhesion of HK-LAB to Caco-2 cells, anti-invasion and antibacterial activities against S. Typhimurium, the adhesion and invasion pattern of S. Typhimurium on intestinal epithelial cells (Caco-2) and assessing the effect of LAB on the S. Typhimurium-host cell interaction.
Results: Tairu isolates from food have the highest adhesion rate with 19 ± 1.32/10 Caco-2 cells followed by HK-LAB R-iso- late from plant 17 ± 0.70/10 Caco-2 cells, which is similar to the control (Lactobacillus casei). In the anti-invasion assay, the two HK-LAB isolates that had the strongest adherence to Caco-2 cells, Tairu-isolate inhibited at 78.1 ± 3.06% and R-isolate inhibited at 64.76 ± 9.02% compared to the positive control (63.81 ± 1.15%), which led to increased suppression of S. Ty- phimurium accordingly. Tairu and R isolates were tested for their antibacterial ability against S. Typhimurium. Both R and Tairu isolates displayed strong inhibition zones (27 ± 0.06 mm, 23 ± 0.06 mm) respectively.
Conclusion: These findings suggest that the anti-invasion activities of HK-LAB R and Tairu may correlate to their bacteri- cidal effects that serve to protect the host from infection.

Published: December 2024

Background and Objectives: Recently, the anti-herpetic activities of different plant species have been investigated. This study evaluated the effects of Teucrium stocksianum aqueous extract on the HSV-1 virus-infected Vero cell.
 
Materials and Methods: The IC of the aqueous extract was obtained by the maceration of the plant in boiling water and has been measured with the MTT method, also the q-PCR was used to study viral gene expression reduction.
Results: Results of the MTT test indicated that the highest percentage of metabolic activity was observed in the 75 μg/ml concentration of Teucrium stocksianum’s aqueous extracts (IC=45.5μg/ml). Time intervals of 24 and 48 hours after viral in- fection revealed that the cell viability is reduced by the viral infection time (MOI=0.1), log 10-3, p <0.001). Furthermore, the plant’s aqueous extract concentration almost avoids cell viability reduction. Through Q-PCR results; the reduction of viral proliferation revealed that the low expression of genes UL46 and US6 were significant in the presence of different treatments utilized in the experiment.
Conclusion: T. stocksianum, has an anti-viral property and may be considered as a remedy for anti-HSV-1 agents.

Background and Objectives: Airway fungal infection is a severe clinical problem, especially in patients with compromised immune functions. Here, we examined the distribution and antifungal susceptibility profiles of fungal agents isolated from respiratory tract of symptomatic patients hospitalized in pulmonary units.
Materials and Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study took place from 2023 to 2024, involving 360 patients. Bron- choalveolar lavage (BAL) or sputum specimens were collected and analyzed using mycological and molecular methods for this study. Antifungal susceptibility testing (AFST) was carried out using the broth micro dilution method.
Results: Of a total of 360 respiratory specimens, 114 (31.6%) were positive. The male-to-female ratio was 63:51 (1.3%). Candida albicans and Aspergillus flavus were the most common yeast and mold species. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) had the highest rate of colonization with fungal agents (47/114, 41%). The isolates associated with COPD in this study included Aspergillus species (4/12, 3.5%), Candida species (41/96, 36%), and other fungal species (2/6, 1.5%). Coughing (87%) was the predominant symptom, and malignancy (52%) was the predominant comorbidity factor. The result of AFST for antifungal agents showed that 9 (22.5%) Candida isolates were resistant, and the highest rate of resistance was related to voriconazole agent (5/9, 55.5%). Resistance to antifungal agents was not observed among Aspergillus isolates.
Conclusion: This study showed a significant relationship between the frequency of Aspergillus and Candida species in patients with underlying lung diseases. In addition, voriconazole was more effective than itraconazole, especially against Aspergillus flavus.

Digital Health Equity and Patient Education: A New Paradigm in Patient Empowerment
Authors: Sharif Nafiseh Valaei , Ghasemzadeh Peivand
Published: December 2024

The COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted global healthcare, heightening vigilance among individuals with chronic disease and increasing levels of fear and depression. As a response, digital technologies, especially telehealth, have emerged as promising tools to address these challenges, facilitating health information access and supporting patient education and decision-making. The digital health landscape now includes electronic health records, remote monitoring, digital therapeutics, AI, and machine learning, which together enhance patient care, improve diagnosis accuracy, and streamline healthcare operations. Digital health tools, by presenting information interactively, engage patients cognitively and foster autonomy in health management. Additionally, social media and mobile health platforms contribute to health equity by promoting healthy behaviours and reducing barriers to access. However, disparities in digital health access, termed "digital health equity," remain a challenge. Digital health equity involves addressing “digital determinants of health," including technology access, digital literacy, and infrastructure, which interact with traditional social determinants of health. In this context, e-health literacy has become a critical factor in enabling individuals to retrieve and appraise electronic health information effectively, ultimately enhancing health literacy. Health literacy, therefore, serves as a foundation for reducing health inequalities and fostering population health.

Published: December 2024

In early 2020 the world experienced the one in 100-year COVID-19 pandemic, causing major disruption to higher education in Australia. In Victoria, Australia this necessitated a rapid shift of university teaching and placements to the online environment. For health programs in particular, which are typically taught with significant on-campus and face to face components, this shift online created major changes in both teaching and learning. This study sought to explore the lived experience of teaching and learning for Australian occupational therapy students and academics at one Australian university during COVID-19. More specifically, this study aimed to explore the facilitators and barriers to occupational therapy online teaching and learning and the impacts it had on student/academic roles, professional identity, motivation and wellbeing. A qualitative phenomenological approach was adopted, with semi-structed interviews conducted with students (n=10) and academics (n=6). Inductive, thematic analysis of data was utilised. Five key themes were identified from the analysis of data: impact on professional identity, disruption of roles, feeling pressure, mutual respect and gratitude, and the importance of social connection at university. Whilst online learning may be more flexible for students and more cost effective for universities, the findings of this study suggest that there is a need to provide continued opportunities for health students to engage with academics and each other on-campus.

A partir do acompanhamento de um grupo de educadoras ambientais comunitárias, que atuam em comunidades de Magé e Duque de Caxias, RJ, a pesquisa teve como objetivo levantar e sistematizar temas considerados relevantes em sua práxis comunitária ambiental. A Pesquisa Ação Pedagógica surgiu como proposta metodológica, articulando a Investigação Temática freiriana à pesquisa participante nos moldes da IAP. Alguns dos eixos temáticos que se destacaram foram: as histórias de vida das mulheres; o trabalho socioambiental com mulheres e crianças e a valorização dos conhecimentos populares e práticas de cura. À medida que buscam soluções comunitárias para as situações limite vividas, as mulheres desvelam processos profundos de desumanização e destruição ambiental, que caminham juntos no modelo capitalista racista patriarcal.
Application of Corn Starch and Red Galangal Coating to Extend the Shelf Life of Chrysanthemum Flowers (Chrysanthemum morifolium)
Authors: Darmawati Emmy
Published: December 2024

Chrysanthemum (Chrysanthemum morifolium) has high economic value. However, fresh Chrysanthemums are perishable and have a short shelf life. High respiration and microorganisms are the main causes of the decline in the quality of chrysanthemums after harvest. The fungus Puccinia horiana causes white rust disease on the leaves which were carried when the flowers are harvested and stored for distribution. Corn starch as an edible coating material combined with red galangal extract was expected to reduce damage by these two factors. The purpose of the research was to determine the best concentration of corn starch and red galangal extract to extend the shelf life of fresh chrysanthemum edible flower. The starch concentration chosen was based on the viscosity of the coating solution which can be applied by spraying and produces the solidness and smallest diameter of droplet. The concentration of 2% corn starch coating solution was chosen to be the best solution concentration for coating. In application, the coating solution used was 2% corn starch combined with 1% and 2% red galangal extract, with spraying done once and twice. The results of the study showed that the L2S2 formulation (2% galangal concentration with spraying 2 times) was the best treatment. This treatment can maintain flower water content at 86.02%, weight loss 19.00%, L value 34.50o, Hue value 347.04o on the 6th day of storage with a panelist assessment of a score of 3.25 (freshness, color, aroma). As a comparison, flowers without treatment (control) were still accepted by panelists up to the 3rd day of storage with a score of 3.01, more than 3 days the score was less than 3

Published: December 2024

الحرب الأهلية في جمهورية السودان، والتي بدأت في إبريل 2023، أشعلت وفاقمت أزمة إنسانية حادة كانت موجودة أصلاً. واعتباراً من سبتمبر 2024، فإن أكثر من 25 مليون شخص – وهو نصف عدد سكان البلاد – كانوا في حاجة إلى المساعدات. ورداً على ذلك، ظهرت الحركات الشعبية، بالاعتماد على الخبرات السابقة في التعبئة الجماعية. وتشكل شبكات المتطوعين، والمعروفة بغرف الاستجابة للطوارئ، حيث تشير "الغرفة" إلى المحادثات الجماعية عبر الإنترنت التي تم فيها تصور وتخطيط تلك الغرف أصلاً، إحدى الأمثلة على ذلك.

ويستند هذا الموجز إلى دراسة حالة أولى من نوعها حول غرف الاستجابة للطوارئ،1 والتي أجريت فيما بين يوليو وأغسطس 2024. وبناءً على المقابلات التي أجريت مع الأشخاص الذين تمت مقابلتهم، تسلط دراسة الحالة الضوء على وجهات نظر متطوعي غرف الاستجابة للطوارئ، وتشرح كيفية نشوء ونمو وسير العمل والشراكات الخاصة بغرف الاستجابة للطوارئ. وتعتمد دراسة الحالة كذلك على الأبحاث المنشورة، والتي تستكشف تعقيدات الاستجابة الإنسانية في السودان، ومفهوم المساعدة المتبادلة، بما يشمل غرف الاستجابة للطوارئ.

ويهدف هذا الموجز إلى وصف الاعتبارات الرئيسية لفهم غرف الاستجابة للطوارئ، وكيف يمكن دعمها. كما يستكشف الموجز تداعيات الشراكات الهادفة والمجدية على المستوى المحلي مع الجهات الفاعلة الإنسانية والإنمائية الوطنية والدولية، حتى في ظل ديناميات إنسانية معقدة وصراع حاد. وتمت كتابة هذا الموجز لجميع الجهات الفاعلة المتابعة للاستجابة في السودان أو المنخرطة فيها – على المستويات المحلية، والوطنية، والدولية.
DOES THE I HAVE A HISTORY? THE PROBLEM OF CONSTITUTION OF THE PURE I
Authors: JURIĆ ANDRIJA
Published: December 2024

This paper examines some issues in the constitution of the pure I and, to that extent, its historicity. At places, Husserl holds what would seem as contradicting views regarding the constituted nature of the I, describing it as both unconstituted transcendency within immanency and as continuously self-constituting. This is further complicated by the paradoxical status of the I as the identical subject of its own self-objectification, presupposing itself for its constitution. Through the concepts of I-pole, substrate of habitualities, Deckungsynthesse, character of nunc stans, and self-temporalization, I aim to investigate the constituted character of the I. In the end, I argue that these frameworks fail and that the actual, living I-subject of the immediate presence cannot be regarded as constituted or having a historical dimension.

Autor u članku razmatra iskušenja za Aristotelovo učenje o uzrocima koja su nastupila sa pokušajem uklapanja elejskih filozofa u njegove okvire. Negacija kretanja i promene, apsolutizovanje jednog bez dopuštanja mnoštva, trebalo bi da su sprečavali bilo kakav govor o uzrocima u doktrinama Ksenofana, Parmenida, Zenona i Melisa. Ipak, pokušaja u tom smeru bilo je već kod interpretiranja Ksenofanovih stavova, da bi sa Parmenidovom poemom O prirodi oni još više dobili na intenzitetu. Komentatori su u Aristotelovim prikazima Parmenidovog jednog videli tragove formalnog uzroka, nasuprot kojeg je stajalo Melisovo jedno koje je odgovaralo materijalnom uzroku. Važnije od ovoga uvida, po autoru, jeste Stagiraninovo pretpostavljanje autentičnosti drugog dela Parmenidove poeme. Ne samo da „put mnenja” može da se razume kao „najbolje objašnjenje” pojava, nego jedino tamo gde ima reči o nekakvom „uređenju sveta” mogu se i tražiti uzroci. Prepoznavajući na „putu mnenja” naznake svog materijalnog i eficijentnog uzroka, Aristotel je učinio da metafizički lanac koji spaja presokratovce ostane neprekinut, odnosno da njegova kauzalna shematika preko kosmologije najpoznatijeg elejca što „prirodnije” poveže „sisteme” preparmenidovskih mislilaca sa „sistemima” postparmenidovskih filozofa.
Okul Öncesi Eğitime Devam Eden 48-72 Aylık Çocukların ve Ailelerin Sürdürülebilirliğe İlişkin Bilgi ve Uygulamaları
Authors: Biber Kazım , Börekci Caner
Published: December 2024

Bu araştırmanın amacı, okul öncesi eğitime devam eden 5-6yaş çocukların ve ailelerinin sürdürülebilirliğin ekonomik boyutuna ilişkin bilgi ve uygulamalarını belirlemektir. Böylece, okul öncesi çocukların sürdürülebilirlik açısından anlayış ve davranışlarına ilişkin bilgiler edinilerek ekonomik tercihlerinin ve uygulamalarının gelişmesi ve eğitim programlarında ele alınabilmesine katkı sağlanması amaçlanmaktadır. Türkiye’de okul öncesi dönemde sürdürülebilirliğin ekonomik boyutlarına odaklanan çalışmaların çevre eğitimi konularıyla sınırlı olduğu ve genellikle doğrudan çocukların görüşlerinin değil ailelerin ve öğretmenlerin görüşlerine odaklandığı görülmektedir. Araştırmaya Balıkesir ilinde yer alan dört okuldan 5-6 yaşı grubundaki 46 öğrenci ve aileleri katılmıştır. Verilerin toplanmasında kapalı ve açık uçlu sorulardan oluşan yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formu kullanılmış, çocukların ve ailelerin demografik bilgileri, ekonomik eşitlik, kaynak kullanımı ve geri dönüşüm ile ilgili görüşleri alınmıştır. Elde edilen veriler içerik analizi yapılarak analiz edilmiştir. Araştırmanın sonucunda okul öncesi eğitim etkinliklerinde ve aile içinde yapılan sürdürülebilirliğe ilişkin etkinliklerde çocukların sürece etkin katılımının sağlanması, evde ve okulda ortak bir bakış açısı ile birlikte hareket etmenin önemi ortaya çıkmıştır. Çocuklarda ve ailelerinde sürdürülebilirliğe ilişkin, tutum, değer ve davranışların eğitim programı aracılığıyla aktarılmasının yanında, okul-aile ortaklığı, sürdürülebilir bir okul kültürü sağlanması yönünde farkındalık, bilgi ve uygulamaların artırılması önerilmektedir.
Zeus en famille. Regards onomastiques sur un système de parenté
Authors: Bonanno Daniela , Bonnet Corinne
Published: December 2024

Les inscriptions, en particulier les offrandes, associent parfois Zeus à un ou plusieurs de ses enfants, ou à l’une ou l’autre de ses épouses, en particulier Héra. Les séquences onomastiques peuvent exprimer, voire souligner les liens qui unissent les membres de la famille de Zeus. Or, en regardant de près ce matériel épigraphique et en le mettant en série, comme permet de le faire la base de données MAP, on s’aperçoit que, tant dans le choix du «vocabulaire» que dans la «syntaxe», des différences notables apparaissent entre Athéna, Apollon ou Héra, pour ne citer que ces trois cas. L’objectif de cette étude, limitée au matériel épigraphique, est donc de relever similitudes et différences pour appréhender des éléments structurels liés au système de parenté construit autour de Zeus dans les inscriptions, dans la longue durée qui va de l’époque archaïque à l’époque romaine.

Vivência e ludicidade para uma prática alfabetizadora: teatro de sombras
Authors: Carvalho Jovania da Silva , Muniz Valéria Campos
Published: December 2024

Neste trabalho, objetiva-se apresentar a arte como possibilidade de vivência alfabetizadora por intermédio do teatro de sombras. Esse tipo de teatro é comumente encontrado em apresentações que contam histórias infantis, lendas mitológicas e contos populares. A criação de efeitos ópticos envolve o uso de fontes de luz em uma superfície e se caracteriza pela manipulação de silhuetas ou do próprio corpo em um jogo de luz na sombra. Perceber a sombra como uma imagem, além de ser pedagógico, configura brincadeira divertida a estimular a criatividade dos espectadores. O reconhecimento artístico-pedagógico dessa prática encontra-se fundamentado na Proposta Curricular para o Ensino de Português como uma temática lúdica, criativa e cultural, buscando mostrar novos caminhos às práticas alfabetizadoras de ensino. Ao aguçar as sensações dos discentes, em uma “jornada interpretativa” (SANTOS, 2021), associando percepção visual, espacial, temporal e sinestésica, deflagra-se ação e reação, que, conjugadas ao uso da linguagem, na prática artística, pode culminar no estabelecimento da relação entre língua, linguagem e cultura na construção da identidade (HALL, 2016) e na aquisição do conhecimento. Sendo assim, a arte do teatro de sombras revela-se excelente recurso nos processos de alfabetização e letramento.
Colombia Coca-Cola
Authors: Souza Patricia Teles Sobreira de
Published: December 2024

O artigo discorre sobre a poética de Antonio Caro, aprofundando-se na análise de um de seus trabalhos mais icônicos: Colombia Coca-Coca (1976). Para tanto, apresenta convergências e divergências da obra do artista bogotano em relação a outras produções de artistas latino-americanos que, igualmente, empregam símbolos da cultura de massa. São eles: Cildo Meireles, Gascón Ugalde, León Ferrari, Minerva Cuevas e Nelson Leirner. Por fim, considera Colombia Coca-Coca uma manifestação visual do conceito de ‘antropofagia zumbi’ teorizado por Suely Rolnik.
Jackson Pollock and the Pierre Matisse Gallery
Authors: Dossin Catherine
Published: December 2024

Partindo da tentativa de Jackson Pollock de ingressar na Galeria Pierre Matisse em 1951, este artigo questiona por que o símbolo da arte triunfante americana, no auge de sua carreira, desejou ser representado por uma galeria tão intimamente ligada a Paris. Considera-se como esta anedota complica a nossa visão da geopolítica do mundo da arte ocidental do pós-guerra e convida-nos a reescrever a história do período através de conexões e circulações, em vez de oposições e fronteiras nacionais. À medida que a narrativa do envolvimento de Pollock com os artistas parisienses de Matisse se desenrola, torna-se de facto evidente que a revisitação das ligações históricas entre Pollock e a cena artística parisiense não só ilumina os meandros de seu trabalho, mas também provoca uma reavaliação das narrativas arraigadas na história da arte ocidental. Em última análise, o estudo propõe uma mudança metodológica que enfatiza a circulação e os intercâmbios culturais, argumentando que uma história Conectada da arte ocidental do pós-guerra pode renovar e tornar mais complexa a nossa compreensão das dinâmicas que moldaram a produção artística do pós-guerra.
Circulação da cultura do Barroco entre os franciscanos na Província de Santo Antônio do Brasil
Authors: Oliveira Carla Mary da Silva
Published: December 2024

Pretende-se analisar de que maneira a cultura do Barroco se cristalizou entre os franciscanos na Província de Santo Antônio do Brasil por meio de um discurso iconográfico que incorporou amplamente elementos da Emblemática, tanto em silhares de azulejaria encomendados em oficinas portuguesas como também em painéis policromados com temas da Litaniæ Lauretanæ presentes no Convento de São Francisco, em Salvador. O uso desses elementos alegóricos está profundamente ligado ao acervo das bibliotecas conventuais e à formação dos frades, iniciada ainda antes do noviciado, nas classes de Gramática Latina, e que prosseguia nas aulas de Teologia e Filosofia ao longo dos anos de instrução intramuros. Engendrada por meio de um discurso iconográfico que se plasmava também em outros elementos decorativos dos conventos, como pinturas em medalhões avulsos e forros de tetos, é possível perceber uma profunda ligação entre a linguagem barroca e as formas de expressão do estar-no-mundo dos frades seráficos na América portuguesa. Considerando o pensamento de José Antonio Maravall e também de outros estudiosos do fenômeno Barroco, como Fernando Rodríguez de la Flor, Giulio Carlo Argan e Luís de Moura Sobral, pretende-se discutir a circulação de modelos iconográficos, bem como da cultura do Barroco entre os frades franciscanos, cristalizada no acervo de suas bibliotecas conventuais erigidas entre a Paraíba e a Bahia no século XVIII.
