Ironic Empires
Authors: Bender Lucas Rambo
Published: May 2021

This chapter considers the irreducible complexity of Du Fu’s relationship to the Tang empire in his late poetry from Kuizhou. During this period, his poems repeatedly portray miniature versions of the empire in the ostensibly private, domestic affairs that occupied his attention in a region where he had no property and few friends. Readers have been divided as to the significance of these poems: for some, that he should have continued even in his exile to see the empire everywhere he turned has evidenced his continuing commitment to the Tang; to others, the patent absurdity of some of these miniature empires has suggested a mockery of imperial pretensions. This chapter argues that both of these antithetical interpretations are correct. As soon as Du Fu seeks to assert his continued connection with the values of the empire, he recognizes the absurdity of his overreach; and as soon as he recognizes the absurdity of his overreach, he acknowledges the darker ways in which he remains dependent, even in Kuizhou, upon imperial hierarchies of questionable justice.
Feminism against Japan’s Military Sexual Violence
Authors: Tai Eika
Published: May 2021

I find a new form of feminism in the activist narratives and analyze its nature by following the theorization of Ōgoshi Aiko, a feminist scholar in philosophy, who has maintained personal contacts with activists, including the late Matsui Yayori. This feminism, which I call JMSV feminism, differs from global feminism in that it has achieved transnational solidarity based on the realization that women are differentiated by power relations, not based on the discourse of universal womanhood promoted by global feminism. JMSV feminism is a form of critical transnational feminism characterized by postcolonial historical consciousness; intersectionality; transnational solidarity; mutual transformation; and the centrality of survivors. JMSV activists have demonstrated how feminists of a former colonial empire may develop an ethical relationship with underprivileged women by listening to their voices with moral humility. They also suggest that feminism is effective when it intersects with other kinds of activism.
Post-trauma Narrative
Authors: Meng Jing
Published: May 2021

Chapter 4 further explores fragmented memories in post-trauma narratives in Red Amnesia, Shanghai Story, and Blue Sky Bones. In these post-trauma films, the past penetrates the present, constituting a postsocialist reality that accommodates different ideologies and temporalities. There is a tension between amnesia and remembrance, between the past in demolition and the present in reconstruction in contemporary China. The repression of the past in turn causes the resurfacing of unwelcome memories of past trauma. To many of the Cultural Revolution Generation, the lingering pain of the past still haunts the present and becomes a form of belated, persisting tragedy for their sons and daughters. Different from previous traumatic narratives that conclude the trauma in the past tense, post-trauma narratives unveil the continuity between the past and the present. Just like the prefix ‘post-’ in postsocialism, post-trauma implies a reconfiguration of trauma rather than a complete break from it.
Conclusion
Authors: Meng Jing
Published: May 2021

This book has examined the representations of personal memories of the Cultural Revolution in films and television dramas in mainland China after 2001. It aimed to elucidate that personal memories are far from solid and spontaneous; rather, they are constantly constructed and articulated in relation to social, political, and economic contexts. Moreover, film-makers employ divergent personalized narrative modes and construct various versions of personal memories on screen, to address their particular concerns. These disparate micro-narratives across screens (or even on one screen) reveal the contesting memories of and discourses on socialism in contemporary China. In this sense, personal memories also articulate contending Chinese modernities in the postsocialist era.
Appreciate from Afar
Authors: Lo Dennis
Published: May 2021

Chapter 1 investigates the cultural politics underlying waisheng Taiwanese auteurs Li Xing’s and Wang Tong’s adaptations of two xiangtu literature classics, China, My Native Land (1981) and A Flower in the Rainy Night (1983). By experiencing and imaging their shooting locations in South Korea and Northeastern Taiwan as places symbolizing an impossible longing for their homeland, Li Xing and Wang Tong perform exilic identities that hybridize motifs of geopolitical displacement from official narratives of nation building and the nomadic subjectivities of bensheng protagonists in xiangtu literature. These productions thus constitute novel experiments in forging an intersubjectively imagined community, boldly crossing what were then clear divides between waisheng and bensheng structures of feeling.
Through intertextual analysis of representations of travel in these films, their production narratives, media reports on the productions, and tourist guidebooks to the shooting locations, this chapter shows that unifying bensheng, waisheng, and popular structures of feeling at the time were ironic images of Taiwan as a place haunted by melodramatic anticipation for unfulfilled cultural aspirations. Through these productions, Taiwan was imaged as a place that could not yet be called home, but a space from which one could “appreciate from afar” the possibility of homecoming.
Myth Making in Place
Authors: Lo Dennis
Published: May 2021

By critically examining Li Xing’s The Heroic Pioneers (1986) and Fourth Generation Chinese director Wu Tianming’s Old Well (1986), this chapter argues that the narratives and representations of place making in these “Chinese Westerns” suppress exilic longings to forge new myths of nation building, holding steadfast to official narratives of progress even at a time of decreasing influence for state-sponsored policy films in Taiwan and the PRC.
At the heart of this chapter is my argument that the location shoots in The Heroic Pioneers and Old Well were staged as present-day reenactments of the films’ narratives of colonization and rural development. While shooting on-location in what were then an undeveloped Eastern coastline in Taiwan and the underdeveloped Northwestern Chinese province of Shaanxi, Li and Wu blurred their practices of location shooting with diegetic motifs of labor, self-sacrifice, loyalty, cultivation, and pioneering, thus mythologizing cultural production as a lived experience of nation building. They referred to their rituals of braving production hardships as “experiencing life,” a process through which they could emerge as archetypal national subjects. Despite Li’s and Wu’s attempts to demonstrate their dedication to social activism, a discursive analysis of the directors' production narratives demonstrates that a neocolonial cultural logic underlies their place making.
The Medical Tourism Industry in Iran: A Review of Websites Designed for Cross-border Patients
Authors: Baghbanian Abdolvahab , Safdari Reza , Erfannia Leila , Zokaee Mojtaba
Published: May 2021

Background: Cross-border health care, whether sanctioned by the governments (out-of-country care) or initiated by the patients (medical tourism), is on the rise globally. The medical tourism industry has shown great potential for improvement in Iran. Objectives: We aimed to examine the representation of data elements on Iranian public and private medical tourism websites and evaluate their content maturity. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional design was used to gather and statistically analyze data from 12 medical tourism websites. Results: The highest level of data representation was provided for medical tourism attractions and destinations, followed by the geographical location of hospitals and the establishment of tourist agencies. Very few websites featured data elements on admission forms. Fisher's exact test revealed no statistically significant difference in the representation of data elements between the providers of medical tourism websites (P > 0.05). Most privately owned medical tourism websites and only one in the public sector had a moderate-content status. No website was confirmed to be rich or poor regarding their maturity. Conclusions: More investment is required for the development of information and communication technology infrastructures in the Iranian medical tourism industry to attract foreign service-users, although many other factors such as political and economic forces may be involved.

Published: May 2021

A new monotypic genus of flatid planthoppers (Hemiptera: Fulgoromorpha: Flatidae), Selizitapia gen. nov., is described for Selizitapia pennyi gen. et sp. nov. (type species) from the island of Madagascar. Habitus, male and female external and internal genital structures of the new species are illustrated and compared with similar taxa. Selizitapia pennyi gen. et sp. nov. is endemic to Madagascar where it is known to date only from one locality in the Central Plateau and is associated with tapia woodland formation.
Have There Really Been No Great Women Artists?
Authors: Atallah Nadine
Published: May 2021

This chapter highlights and discusses the historical, ideological and institutional factors which allowed the good integration of women into the Egyptian modern art worlds. The argument draws from Egyptian artist Nazli Madkour’s objection to Linda Nochlin’s famous question ‘Why have there been no great women artists?’, based on the observation that women artists in Egypt benefitted from an early recognition. In an attempt to explain this Egyptian specificity, the chapter defines the rhetoric of authenticity [asala] as a paradigmatic counterpoint to the Western myth of greatness, at a time when Egypt was struggling for decolonisation and moving towards the Nasserist revolution. Serving as a framework for the appreciation of modern art in Egypt, authenticity seems to create a favourable ground for women’s art, while involving differences between male and female artists in the service of the nation. In order to demonstrate how the search for authenticity shaped and framed the work of women artists and its reception, two paintings about and against polygamy painted in the early 1950s by Inji Efflatoun (1925–1989) and Gazbia Sirry (b. 1925) are analysed in their exhibition contexts. This alternate study shows the entanglement of artistic and socio–political issues while acknowledging internal unevenness within Egyptian feminism and its expression in the arts.
The Moment of Change
Authors: Kattan Lina M.
Published: May 2021

Saudi women artists challenge cultural boundaries to document change in the notions of identity and agency. These artists employ many experimental techniques through unconventional themes while balancing cultural traditions, Saudi heritage, and Islamic identity. This chapter seeks to identify in what ways artists disrupt the commonly–known prohibition regarding figuration as relegated to the art of painting vis–á–vis photography, particularly in figurative depictions. It suggests two types of reality: the spiritual Real that is connected to painting, and the technological real, which is comparable to reality without a soul. It thus demonstrates how the interrelated concepts of art, reality, and the Real can impact values attached to representations of women in Saudi art. The chapter draws upon the frameworks of feminism, postcolonialism, Post–Panofskian iconography, and deconstruction.
On Perpetual Conflict
Authors: Nelson Rachel
Published: May 2021

This chapter focuses on the different tactics Emily Jacir uses in her varied art practice to trouble narratives of the Palestinian occupation. It tracks through notable artworks including Where We Come From (2001–03), Sexy Semite (2002), and ex libris (2010–12), and attempts by Jacir to reveal the discursive frameworks which normalise the atrocities in Palestine. Thinking with scholars including Achille Mbembe and Judith Butler, this chapter traces the strategies the artist uses to communicate the conflict outside of these discursive traps that continually interpret and produce the oppressive reality in Palestine. And, it follows Jacir in asking, what would it take to remake (transform) the sensibility of the conflict in Palestine?
Bodies that Still Matter
Authors: Butler Judith
Published: May 2021

This chapter starts with an obvious presupposition: no body can sustain itself on its own. The body is not a self-subsisting kind of being; it is, rather, given over to others in order to persist. What does it mean to be “given over” to others, and to have this as a constitutive feature of embodied life? It may be that we require care, or that we are vulnerable in a way that cannot be overcome. How do these two terms work in relation to embodied lives that encounter unlivable situations as a result of unaddressed exposure or infrastructural failures of care? The bodies that assemble to object to unlivable conditions make certain kinds of demands. How do we understand the form and aim of such demands on the part of bodies that require support, address, and conditions for persistence? This chapter seeks to show that the kind of claim bodies make on politics follows from the radical lack of self-sufficiency that characterizes bodies more generally. The lack of self-sufficiency is not a political problem, but politics emerges precisely when the social organization of what Marx called “basic requirements” consistently fail and “basic requirements” begin to make their claim on the broader social and political world.
Tenuous Moorings

A hand, a brush, its inclinations –

involved in an anchoring of sign to thing

so artful that we, like the Jesuits, might forget

words’ tenuous moorings

(Howe 2015: 39)

ORGAN TRANSPLANTATION. ADULT children caring for parents. The moment of disclosure of sexual assault. From these different landscapes of care we learn how vulnerability hurts, undoes, changes, and shakes up a person’s place in the world. We are also invited to imagine how it can remake us anew: ‘Vulnerability is not only the openness to harm or injury, but a necessary condition of world-making and subject-making’, Ann Cahill writes....
Ideology and Futurology in Early 20th-Century Britain: Wells, Haldane, Bernal, and Their Critics
Authors: Bowler Peter J.
Published: May 2021

This chapter studies the response of rationalist writers to the claims of theologians arguing that their ideology lacked any sense of a wider purpose to human life. It is argued that to replace the spiritual dimension of religion, authors such as H. G. Wells, J. B. S. Haldane, and J. D. Bernal appealed to the possibility that the human race could in future develop a collective mentality and spread this awareness throughout the cosmos by space travel. Their ideas thus anticipated themes developed by later science-fiction authors such as Arthur C. Clarke in his 2001: A Space Odyssey.
‘A World to Be Transfigured’: Shaping a Cold War Vision of Orthodoxy from the South
Authors: Naumescu Vlad
Published: May 2021

This chapter explores a transformative moment in the religious Cold War that led to a new vision of Orthodox Christianity articulated in an educational project for the youth. Pointing to the interconnected histories of cold war politics and postcolonial nation-building it shows how a religious minority in South India managed to transcend the boundaries of the nation-state and establish an international Orthodox alliance that could help them handle tensions within the church, respond to secular challenges and become leaders in global ecumenism. Channelling these apologetic struggles into the educational field, the Indian Orthodox Church pioneered a Christian curriculum for the Oriental churches which provided an alternative for their own communities, transcending ideological differences and cold war divisions and reaffirming the role of religion in the secular world.
Louis Jacobs, Revelation, and the Ongoing Battle to Defend Jewish Orthodoxy
Authors: Freud-Kandel Miri
Published: May 2021

Louis Jacobs, (1920-2006), a British scholar-rabbi, became embroiled in the so-called “Jacobs Affair” in the 1960s, a controversy generally associated with his views on divine revelation. Influenced by his encounter with academic biblical scholarship, Jacobs tried to construct an apologetic account of how to maintain belief in Torah min Hashamayim— Torah from Heaven — while addressing secularist challenges to these teachings. Highlighting divisions between more conservative and liberal currents within Orthodox Judaism, Jacobs was effectively ostracised from British Orthodoxy for his efforts. Yet the challenge he sought to address has not gone away. Instead, there is growing engagement with the issue, with the internet increasingly influencing the contours and content of this debate. The questions directed at the dogmatic accounts of revelation promulgated within Orthodoxy form part of a broader challenge to religious authority. A study of Jacobs’ position, alongside some more contemporary arguments developed in a post-secular context, offers a framework for considering the varied apologetic Jewish responses that have been formulated to defend divine teachings against secularist critiques.
Introduction
Authors: Srinivasan Sharath , Nouwen Sarah M. H.
Published: May 2021

Opening Making and Breaking Peace in Sudan and South Sudan, this chapter introduces the book’s key concepts: peace and peacemaking. The contributions in this volume show that ideas of peace have been contested in the Sudans, and that different modalities of peacemaking have both gone together and have competed with each other. This chapter draws on these contributions in order critically to interrogate diverse ideas of peace and practices of peacemaking that have been prevalent in the Sudans. It connects them to their roots in major traditions in political thought and sets out why they are often problematic when applied to complex conflicts such as in the Sudans. Rather than arguing for one specific understanding of peace or modality of peacemaking, this chapter explains why the volume has taken a perspectival approach. Adopting the vantage points of multiple different actors, a perspectival approach foregrounds on-the-ground contestations over different ideas of peace and modes of peacemaking. Understanding what peacemaking has come to mean in the Sudans – how different understandings of peace have been deployed, but also contested, in the processes of ‘making’, and with what effects – allows scholars and practitioners to reconsider prospects for peace in the region, and well beyond.
Peacemaking in Darfur and the Doha Process
Authors: Marsden Rosalind
Published: May 2021

This chapter provides a practitioner’s perspective on the negotiations leading to the 2011 Doha Document for Peace in Darfur (DDPD) and its aftermath. It explains how international actors constrained peace in Darfur by framing Sudan’s conflicts on a north/south axis; by repeating past mistakes in mediation; and by focusing too much on clashes between government and rebel forces when the main threat to civilians came increasingly from government forces and proxy militias. It argues that international actors often pursued approaches that were at odds with each other and should have put more weight behind democratisation. It shows how the Bashir regime used the DDPD to provide cover for its pursuit of a military solution and manipulated implementation to strengthen its grip in Darfur. It also shows how some lessons from past experience are still valid as a new phase in Sudan’s peace process gets underway.
Moda artesanal: explorando uma cultura regional brasileira por técnicas e saberes tradicionais
Authors: Dominguez Santana Cássia Cristina , Alvares Coppola Soraya Aparecida
Published: May 2021

O fator cultural, como artifício de diferenciação, gera uma crescente demanda de produtos que expressam características de determinadas regiões. O Nordeste do Brasil conta com uma vasta riqueza cultural que valoriza o trabalho artesanal. Atualmente, a identidade cultural de diversas regiões tem sido valorizada no universo da moda. Designers e artesãos trabalham produtos e cenários nordestinos em suas criações. Ao encontro disso, este artigo aborda o desenvolvimento de têxteis artesanais utilizando a técnica de reutilização têxtil ou upcycling para o desenvolvimento de uma coleção de bolsas inspirada na riqueza cultural do Nordeste brasileiro. A pesquisa baseia-se em saberes tradicionais, nas inspirações da cultura têxtil nordestina e no tecido cultural de chita. As peças finais refletem uma visão consciente do momento atual e o elo entre design e artesanato, passado e presente, sustentabilidade e qualidade, com valor simbólico ligado às raízes culturais de um povo.
Cinema e educação: atravessamentos de práticas de fascismo e nomadismo no filme “O substituto”
Authors: Corrêa Mirele , Monteiro Alexandrina
Published: May 2021

Este ensaio tem por objetivo discutir práticas de fascismo e nomadismo presentes no filme “O Substituto”, cujo título original em inglês é Detachment (indiferença), relacionando-as aos processos educativos da contemporaneidade. O filme nos coloca a pensar práticas educacionais que giram em torno da temática da diferença em sala de aula e de suas contradições. A indiferença pode ser tomada com o prefixo ‘in’ que ‘nega’ a diferença enquanto uma singularidade imanente do indivíduo, produzindo fascismos e universais, mas também o ‘in’ que se refere ao ‘movimento para dentro’. Propõe-se, neste trabalho, um exercício de pensamento antropofágico da (in)diferença, que insurge a negação da mesma, fazendo proliferar tratados de nomadologia contra unificações. Nômade também é o professor ‘substituto’, aquele que não se fixa no território da clausura escolar, mas que, no movimento de substituições, possibilita rupturas com o fora, para se pensar uma educação menor que tenciona microrrevoluções cotidianas, contribuindo com a emersão de outras existências.
Uma década de transmissões de apresentações teatrais: questões e tendências
Authors: Aebischer Pascale
Published: May 2021

Este artigo acompanha o período de desenvolvimento da transmissão teatral no Reino Unido dentre 2009, quando a NT Live lançou sua operação de transmissão, e 2019. Defende a necessidade de considerar o impacto que as tecnologias de transmissão teatral têm na produção e na recepção de Shakespeare tanto na Grã-Bretanha como ao redor do mundo, considerando-se que as transmissões estão cada vez mais aptas a se tornarem substitutas da experiência de teatro que promovem. A primeira parte do artigo considera o alcance diferencial deste fenômeno supostamente "global" em continentes diversos e explora o risco de que grandes companhias como a National Theatre, a RSC e a Shakespeare's Globe construam monopólios culturais que possam restringir a participação de companhias menores. A segunda parte considera as técnicas de câmera utilizadas pelas transmissões e dá uma atenção especial à relação entre a montagem de proscênio no teatro e a bidimensionalidade da tela de cinema em Romeu e Julieta de Rob Ashford e Kenneth Branagh, que foi transmitida ao vivo pela Kenneth Branagh Company no Garrick Live em 2016.

Published: May 2021

Objective: To evaluate knowledge related to TB and to investigate the predictive factors of the prisoners' knowledge status in a regional penitentiary in the Zona da Mata Mineira - Brazil. Methods: This is a cross-sectional and institutionally based study that was conducted with 729 individuals deprived of their liberty in a regional penitentiary. A questionnaire was applied and the detainees 'knowledge about tuberculosis was obtained from the participants' answers to questions about tuberculosis prevention, transmission and treatment. For data analysis, multiple logistic regression was used. Results: Approximately 40% of the detainees reported not having knowledge about transmission, prevention and treatment of tuberculosis and the lack of knowledge was associated with the following variables: lower education, lower income, closed regime, being the first prison, not having contact with TB outside and inside the prison, not showing symptoms of cough with secretion, weakness and chest pain and not having an HIV test. Conclusion: The lack of knowledge about tuberculosis was associated with education, income, prison terms, first prison, contact with TB outside and inside the prison, symptoms of tuberculosis and HIV testing. The recognition of these factors can contribute to the development of educational interventions aimed at controlling tuberculosis in this population.

Investigated the factors associated to the number of days of sick leave of federal civil servants in an educational institution and the values of their occupational indices in the period from 2014 to 2017. Data sociodemographic, occupational and sick leaves were obtained through documentary analysis of medical records and administrative systems. For analysis, we used the absolute and relative frequency and multiple linear regression. Calculated rate of absenteeism-illness, frequency index, severity index and the average duration of leaves, stratified by gender and job role. The sample of 5,115 events in the population of 1,104 servers confirmed the positive relationship between age of the server, the level of schooling of the role and mental and behavioral disorders   with the largest number of days of leaves. The female gender, live in the city where works, servers those did not have information on the marital status, technical-administrative job role and the public service time proved to be associated with fewer days of leave. The results presented show the relevance of absenteeism-illness in the context of federal public education and indicate the needs of interference in this sector regarding the organization of work and the health-disease process of their servers.

Published: May 2021

The superiority of breast milk over milk of other species is already consolidated and there are numerous benefits in the practice of breastfeeding. The Human Milk Bank is a privileged place for the establishment of breastfeeding, as actions to encourage, support and promote breastfeeding are developed. This is a cross-sectional, retrospective study carried out at the only maternity hospital in the city. The sample consisted of mothers and babies assisted by a lactation support program from 2005 to 2016 and also mothers and babies monitored by the human milk bank. It was observed that the assistance of the milk bank was associated with the type of delivery performed (cesarean) (OR: 2.11; 95% CI: 1.03-4.33), having premature children (gestational age) (OR: 3 , 48; 95% CI: 1.52-7.95), higher education (OR: 1.16; 95% CI: 1.03-1.32) and being younger (age) (OR: 0.94; 95% CI %: 0.88-0.99) were the indicators that increased the mother's chance to seek care from the milk bank, regardless of parity and place of residence. The support, protection and promotion of breastfeeding that is carried out in this place, is configured as an important scenario favoring this practice, impacting on the health of the mother-child binomial in the present and in the future.

Published: May 2021

Hospitalizations occur electively in cases with no imminent risk to life or in cases of urgency and emergency, which demand immediate medical assistance. In a Health Region, these hospitalizations are conducted in reference hospitals. This study aimed to analyse hospital admissions in the Eastern South Region of Minas Gerais, by comparing the number of urgency and emergency admissions with elective procedures admissions and with the number of urgency admissions with sensitive to primary care conditions (CSAP). This longitudinal-retrospective-descriptive study was conducted with Hospital Information System (SIH) data relative to the 2014-2018 interval. Altogether, there were registered 129,524 hospitalizations, with 17,546 (13.55%) being elective admissions and 111,978 (86.45%) urgency procedures. Of the urgency hospitalizations total, 20,108 (17.95%) were CASP hospitalizations. The frequency of urgency hospitalization was six times higher than the elective hospitalization one, and even SPCC emergency admissions exceeded the elective hospitalizations offer.
Helicobacter pylori eradication therapy in an area of southeastern Brazil: a cohort study

Published: May 2021

The Second and Third Brazilian Consensuses on Helicobacter pylori indicate the combination of a proton pump inhibitor (PPI), amoxicillin, and clarithromycin as the first-line therapy for eradicating this pathogen, but this regimen has been criticized for the recent decrease in its efficacy in several parts of the world. There are little data on the efficacy of H. pylori eradication regimens in the interior of Brazil. OBJECTIVE: To describe the treatments prescribed for the eradication of H. pylori with their respective efficacy rates in a cohort living in the Zona da Mata of Minas Gerais. DESIGN: A retrospective cohort study with treatment-naïve patients known to have gastric infection by H. pylori, residents of the Zona da Mata of Minas Gerais, submitted to eradication therapy of this pathogen in the periods 2007 to 2011, and 2013 to 2016. The H. pylori eradication rates obtained with the prescribed treatments were evaluated as outcomes. RESULTS: We analyzed 5010 medical records from a single health service, with 264 prescriptions for initial treatments to eradicate H. pylori using PPI associated with amoxicillin and clarithromycin for 7 days in 243 cases (88.25%). The overall efficacy rate of this regimen was 54.07%, with no differences in efficacy between the two periods analyzed (2007 to 2011: 54.55%, 2013 to 2016: 53.65, p = 0.892) There were no differences in efficacy according to the choice of PPI: Omeprazole-AC7: 52.55%, OR = 1 (72 successes out of 137); Lansoprazole-AC7: 44.18%. OR = 1.399, p = 0.28 (38 out of 86); and Pantoprazole-AC-7: 60%, OR = 0.739, p = 0.701 (12 out of 20). CONCLUSIONS: In this cohort, the efficacy rates of the regimens recommended by the Brazilian Consensus on Helicobacter pylori were lower than those previously described in the Brazilian literature, suggesting the need for a revision of the official recommendations.

Published: May 2021

O presente estudo, realizado no município de Santiago, que se localiza na região Centro-Oeste do Rio Grande do Sul, tem como objetivo caracterizar o relevo identificando atributos topográficos obtidos de um Modelo Digital do Terreno (MDT) utilizando ferramentas de geotecnologias e SIG. Determinou-se três níveis de classificação definidos por formas de relevo, elementos de relevo e forma das vertentes. As formas indicam um conjunto de parcelas relativamente homogênea representado por áreas planas, colinas, morros e morrotes, sendo calculadas por análise da declividade e amplitude.  Os elementos do relevo classificados em 10 formas básicas são identificados a partir da técnica dos geomorphons baseada na similaridade textural do modelo digital, que é transferido para valores de elevação do terreno, a distância e o ângulo de direção dos pontos vizinhos em relação a célula central. A forma das vertentes definidas como unidades geomorfométricas foram compartimentadas a partir do emprego de três variáveis geomorfométricas: declividade, perfil de curvatura e plano de curvatura. As formas mais importantes são de colinas levemente onduladas, onde se destacam os elementos de vertente, topos e vales largos. As vertentes predominantes são a do tipo I e VIII, sendo que a I apresenta declividade superior a 5%, convergente e côncava e a vertente do tipo VIII apresenta declividade inferiores a 5%, divergente e convexa.
Micromorfologia e mineralogia de unidades pedoestratigráficas Coluviais em paleofundo de vale na superfície de São José dos Ausentes (RS)
Authors: Pereira Josielle Samara , Paisani Julio Cesar
Published: May 2021

Este artigo exibe resultados da determinação micromorfológica e mineralógica de materiais coluviais em paleofundo de vale na superfície de São José dos Ausentes (RS). A análise micromorfológica teve por objetivo verificar paleoprocessos pedogenéticos dos materiais fontes de colúvios, processos sedimentares e transformações pós-deposicionais. Já a mineralogia foi realizada para verificar os produtos do intemperismo dos materiais fontes dos colúvios, possibilitando tecer considerações a respeito da área fonte, do grau de retrabalhamento do material e do estágio de evolução intempérica. A micromorfologia mostrou similaridade entre os horizontes coluviais, sugerindo assim, se tratarem de materiais oriundos na mesma fonte e fase pedogenética. O processo de sedimentação coluvial misturou níveis pedológicos da área fonte com diferentes graus de pedogênese/intemperismo, data a presença de fragmentos líticos e nodulações, dentre outras microfeições. A descrição mineralógica mostrou que há presença de minerais primários relativamente resistentes ao intemperismo, juntamente com minerais menos resistentes ao intemperismo, sugerindo assim como hipótese duas situações da dinâmica entre pedogênese e morfogênese na área fonte dos sedimentos: o material fonte deriva de solo pouco evoluído do ponto de vista pedogeoquímico, ou houve contínua remoção até os níveis do saprolito, ou ambas as situações.

O município de Canaã dos Carajás se insere no universo de conflitos gerados pela disputa de território, principalmente, pela grande atividade exploratório de recursos minerais e ao avanço da agropecuária. Desse modo, o presente trabalho teve como objetivo analisar a Fragilidade Potencial e Emergente do município de Canaã dos Carajás, com uso de técnicas de geoprocessamento visando dar subsídios para a realização do Planejamento Territorial Ambiental do município. Para os procedimentos específicos da análise da Fragilidade Potencial e Emergente, foram selecionados os atributos ambientais: declividade, tipos de solo, geologia e o uso e cobertura do solo, baseados no estudo da Análise Empírica da Fragilidade dos Ambientes Naturais e Antropizados proposta por Ross em 1994, aplicado a técnica de análise espacial de álgebra de mapa, pelo procedimento de sobreposição ponderada “Weighted Overlay”. O município de Canaã dos Carajás apresenta baixa susceptibilidade natural aos processos erosivos, porém, percebe-se que as intervenções antrópicas relacionadas principalmente atividade da pecuária influenciam na sua instabilidade, potencializando a perda da qualidade ambiental no município.

Este artigo apresenta uma proposta de uma sequência didática (SD) com o tema recursos hídricos, exercitando a aplicação de geotecnologias no ensino de geografia para a educação básica. A proposta descreve um modelo de roteiro Sujeito e o Mundo, configurando um arcabouço atrativo e didático para o desenvolvimento de projetos de ensino, sob a perspectiva colaborativa, participativa entre educandos e educadores. Esta aplicação propicia aos envolvidos a educação cientifica onde se trabalha fundamentação dos conceitos (a hipótese, o raciocínio metodológico e os testes que a hipótese gera) através de atividades didáticas práticas e tecnológicas na geografia, além de encorajá-los a propor soluções de problemas ambientais e sociais vigentes, em pleno exercício da cidadania. Esta proposta de construção do conhecimento pode contribuir no processo de ensino e aprendizagem na medida que o conteúdo teórico da disciplina é contextualizado, materializado e discutido pelo experimento. Com os resultados pode-se discutir a plausibilidade das provas que a teoria apresenta, reforçando a importância de se inter-relacionar conceitos, de se fazer uma boa pergunta e buscar respostas com métodos e recursos adequados, assim, propiciando o aprendizado de forma integral.

Authors: Schwartz Uda Roberta Doederlein , Martini Sandra Regina , Almeida Maria Angélica Santos de
Published: May 2021

Este trabalho visa a demonstrar a possibilidade jurídica da fixação de pensão alimentícia em prol das crianças e adolescentes devolvidos após uma adoção finalizada, a ser arcada por aqueles que os devolveram. A controvérsia coloca-se em razão da paradoxal falta de previsão expressa, no ordenamento jurídico brasileiro, de consequências jurídicas a tão grave conduta.

Authors: Silva Juliana Ferreira da , Holz Carla , Gomes Bruno Martins Augusto
Published: May 2021

Este trabalho objetiva realizar uma discussão crítica e teórica sobre o turismo e o neoliberalismo, contemplando aspectos do desenvolvimento a serem destacados no debate. Para isso, foi realizada uma revisão teórica em torno dos temas turismo, neoliberalismo e desenvolvimento por meio de pesquisas bibliográficas. A partir da pesquisa foi possível perceber que um dos principais desafios para o desenvolvimento democrático do turismo numa sociedade neoliberal está no grande apelo ao lucro em detrimento da valorização de aspectos socioculturais. Como principais considerações, foi possível elencar alguns dos desafios que permeiam o turismo numa sociedade neoliberal, visualizar as possibilidades que permitem reavaliar condutas e propor novos olhares para o desenvolvimento democrático do turismo, bem como sugerir abordagens para pesquisas futuras.

Authors: Gaia Ronan Da Silva Parreira , Vitória Alice Da Silva , Scorsolini-Comin Fabio
Published: May 2021

Este estudo teórico tem por objetivo discutir de que modo as religiões de matriz africana podem contribuir para a construção e solidificação de uma Etnopsicologia brasileira. O percurso deste estudo de caráter teórico envolve discussões acerca do papel constituidor das matrizes africanas na formação social do brasileiro e sua cultura, bem como o que são essas matrizes e o modo como a Etnopsicologia se propõe a investigá-las. A partir desse itinerário, reforça-se a necessidade de valorizar os aspectos da diversidade africana no Brasil enquanto agente importante para a compreensão do comportamento coletivo brasileiro, suas crenças, formas de pertencimento e construção perene de uma identidade a partir da dimensão da religiosidade/espiritualidade na interface com a cultura.

Fatores que motivam a associação em uma cooperativa de crédito
Authors: Sampaio Danilo de Oliveira , Morais Gleice Santana , Bessegato Lupércio França
Published: May 2021

O objetivo deste estudo é identificar os fatores que motivam a associação em cooperativas de crédito. Externamente as cooperativas de crédito possuem muitas similaridades com os bancos, no entanto há uma série de características próprias da sua natureza organizacional que as diferenciam das instituições financeiras bancárias. Dentre elas, tem-se a figura do cooperado, um “consumidor” diferenciado, que assume, simultaneamente, o papel de dono e usuário dos serviços prestados pela cooperativa. Para o desenvolvimento da pesquisa, foram aplicados 415 questionários em cooperados de três cooperativas de crédito. Os métodos utilizados na análise de dados foram a análise fatorial exploratória e mensuração do Alfa de Cronbach. A pesquisa identificou sete fatores que explicam 66,68% da variação total dos dados. Os fatores e seus respectivos alfas são: Atendimento e Confiabilidade (0,943), Preço (0,841), Diferenciais do Cooperativismo (0,846), Conveniência (0,856), Vantagens Relativas (0,862), Influencias Sociais (0,700), Produtos (0,498).
Cooperativismo na agricultura orgânica no Brasil: contribuições de Chayanov
Authors: Tomazzoni Gean Carlos , Schneider Sergio
Published: May 2021

Este artigo tem como objetivo analisar de que modo o cooperativismo vem contribuindo com a rápida expansão da produção de orgânicos no Brasil. Para tal, busca-se aporte teórico nos escritos de Alexander Chayanov para sustentar o cooperativismo como forma de organização social profícua para o desenvolvimento desse modo de fazer agricultura. A metodologia utilizada se consistiu na análise de dados secundários dos Censos Agropecuários de 2006 e 2017 do IBGE. Os resultados mostram um aumento numericamente expressivo de estabelecimentos agropecuários associados com cooperativas entre os anos de 2006 e 2017. Além disso, enquanto 15,75% das unidades de produção orgânica certificadas estão associadas com cooperativas, nas unidades não certificadas esse índice atinge apenas 5,33%. Considerando o potencial do cooperativismo como um modo de organização social, ações do Estado e as políticas púbicas poderiam se beneficiar desta capacidade organizacional para tornar mais efetivas a superação das múltiplas carências dessa categoria.

O presente artigo discorre sobre os princípios cooperativos constituintes dos sistemas de cooperação, enfatizando os princípios da educação, formação e Informação, e do Interesse pela comunidade. Nesse sentido o problema apontado é como a educação cooperativista pode contribuir na formação e mudança de pensamento das crianças no desenvolvimento da educação financeira? Sendo assim os objetivos apresentados são: analisar a educação cooperativa e suas contribuições na mudança de pensamento das crianças no desenvolvimento da educação financeira, e os objetivos específicos são contextualizar o cooperativismo no Brasil e no mundo; compreender o processo da educação financeira no âmbito escolar e exemplificar a semana da educação financeira proposta pelo Banco Central e executada pelo instituo SICOOB como modelo motivador para o despertar financeiro. A metodologia desenvolvida na pesquisa tem uma abordagem qualitativa e quantitativa, sendo representada pela pesquisa bibliográfica e pesquisa de campo, descrevendo uma breve visão histórica sobre o cooperativismo, a educação e a sociedade.
O grau de inovação das cooperativas do agronegócio da região nordeste do Estado do Rio Grande do Sul-Brasil e a construção de um framework estratégico para sustentação da inovação
Authors: Silva Oberdan Teles , Dalla Corte Vitor Francisco , Oliveira Carlos Alberto Oliveira , Ferrari Felipe Weissheimer
Published: May 2021

A pesquisa mensurou o grau inovativo das cooperativas do agronegócio da região nordeste do Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil por meio do radar de inovação de Tidd, Bessant e Pavitt (2008). O índice de inovação efetivo das cooperativas, que fora obtido por meio de pesquisa qualitativa tipo estudos intercasos, contempla a mensuração da estratégia, processo, organização, aprendizagem e relacionamento, é de 72,40%. Entre os construtos que obtiveram os maiores escores estão o relacionamento 76,23%, organização 75,49% e aprendizagem 73,86%. Os construtos estratégia e processo obtiveram os menores índices, 68,77% e 67,71%, respectivamente. Para potencializar os limitantes do grau inovativo propõem-se um teamwork diversificado e reduzido, a partir dos eixos sistemas de controle formal e rotina de alto nível ambos sustentados pela competência organizacional. O framework é limitado as cooperativas do estudo, não devendo seus resultados serem extrapolados no escopo temporal e geográfico. Pesquisas adicionais poderiam mensurar a eficiência do framework após sua implementação gerencial.
PROPOSTA DE MELHORIA DA QUALIDADE DA INFORMAÇÃO DOS PROCESSOS DE GESTÃO DA INFRAESTRUTURA PREDIAL DA UNIFEI
Authors: Teixeira Ederson Da Silva , Favaretto Fabio
Published: May 2021

Com um volume de atendimento da ordem de 3.500 demandas de manutenção por ano, a Diretoria de Obras e Infraestrutura (DOBI) da Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI) realiza variados e complexos processos, que, quando não estão claramente definidos, causam problemas de gestão no setor, como retrabalhos, atrasos e até mesmo a não realização de uma atividade necessária. O objetivo deste trabalho é propor melhorias na qualidade de informações, para aumentar a eficiência dos processos de manutenção da infraestrutura da UNIFEI. Para isso, foram identificadas as principais dimensões da qualidade que interferem no processo de infraestrutura, em seguida, foi mapeado o processo para a manutenção predial na UNIFEI e feitas inferências para a sua melhoria. Constatou-se que a falta da Completude é o fator mais relevante para causar retrabalhos e aumentar o número de atendimentos no banco de dados da Diretoria de Obras e Infraestrutura (DOBI). Com a implementação realizada, criando a etapa de vistoria no fluxo do processo, espera-se que não aconteçam mais retrabalhos, e, por este fator, falta da Completude, pois, a vistoria dará condições para um levantamento adequado das informações para a execução do serviço.
