Published: July 2023

Introduction. Chronic constipation is one of the most actual problems in modern coloproctology and found in 14–16% of developed countries population. The causes of chronic constipation vary widely from functional to organic. The latter include dolichocolon, different variants of which occur in 16% cases.Aim: To give a morphological and quantitative characteristic of the decompensated stage of dolichocolon based on the morphogenesis of changes in comparison with the histologically normal colon.Material and Methods. Colon tissue samples from 16 people were used and divided into two groups. The first, control group, included 8 sectional cases of a morphologically normal colon wall. The second, the study group, was represented by surgical material from 8 patients with dolichocolon decompensated stage. Observation groups were comparable by sex and age.Results. In average, in patients with the decompensated dolichocolon stage, in comparison with the control group, statistically significantly (p ˂ 0.05), the thickness of the mucous and muscular membranes decreases by 1.07 and 2.26 times, respectively. The thickness of the submucosa increases by 1.17 times. However, the maximum and minimum values of this parameter change only by 1.35 times, while in the control group – by 7.21 times, as a consequence of the development of insufficiency of the evacuation-motor function of the colon which indicates the maximum smoothness of the colon wall, and is a consequence of its functional insufficiency. The specific proportion of neuro plexuses in the muscular membrane is 1.45 times higher than in the control group. However, the number of nerve cells decreases by 2.98 times, as a result of the development of insufficiency in the evacuation-motor function of the colon. The average area of lymphatic follicles decreases by 1.49 times, and secondary follicles disappear altogether, meaning the depletion of the compensatory-adaptive reactions of the lymphoid apparatus.Conclusion. Morphological and morphometric signs of irreversible changes, such as dystrophy, atrophy and sclerosis of all structural elements of the thick wall in the stage of decompensated dolichocolon, suggest surgical treatment, as well as prevention of the development of decompensation of the general condition of patients.

Heart rhythm disorders (HRDs) are one of the most complex and urgent problems in both adult and pediatric cardiology. One of the important points of research in the field of arrhythmology is the study of the mechanisms of HRD formation. The mechanisms that trigger arrhythmias in children have their own peculiarity associated with the age-related aspects of the formation of both the cardiovascular system and the systems responsible for its regulation, primarily the autonomic nervous system (ANS). The article presents current literature data on the contribution of the ANS to the formation of arrhythmias and the information content of its markers depending on age.

Published: July 2023

One of the topical issues in percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) is the stenting of extended lesions. Currently, there are two main approaches: stenting with a single long stent (SLS) and stenting with two or more overlapping stents (OS). However, due to the conical geometry of the vessel, stenting of the SLS with a large difference between the proximal and distal reference diameters of the artery may lead to worse results than stenting of the OS, due to lower device compliance to the vessel. The article presents a clinical case illustrating our proposed algorithm for making a decision in favor of SLS or OS based on data obtained using optical coherence tomography.

Published: July 2023

Relevance. Pathology of non-infectious genesis is currently playing a leading role in the structure of overall morbidity of the population. The incidence of inflammatory bowel diseases increases all over the world. The severity of inflammatory bowel diseases complicates the presence of comorbid pathology, metabolic disorders, which lead to disability and the risk of premature death. Currently available diagnostic measures allow to detect disorders at the stage of clinical manifestations. There are several factors causing the development of pathological changes at the early stage including the peculiarities of intestinal microbiome formation and the predominance of certain microorganism clusters with the subsequent formation of a biotype, which may allow diagnosing the disease at a latent stage.Aim: To evaluate the role of the intestinal microbiota in the formation of inflammatory bowel diseases and metabolic disorders according to the data of national and foreign literature.Material and Methods. The review of literature on this topic was carried out based on the analysis of data obtained from the publications indexed in PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, Google Academy, and eLibrary.ru databases over the past 10 years.Results. Data on the role of intestinal microbiota in the development of changes in patients with inflammatory bowel diseases and metabolic disorders (obesity, impaired glucose tolerance, and diabetes mellitus) were revealed. New potential mechanisms for the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus were identified, and the features of the generic composition of the flora in patients with comorbid pathology were described.Conclusion. The obtained results suggest that further research is required to improve understanding of this pathology and to create the methods for correcting the gut microbiota in case of abnormal findings.

There is a universal trend towards increase of patients with chronic kidney disease by 7% on average. In the Russian Federation, the annual increase is even higher, at about 10%. The average age of patients receiving renal replacement therapy is 60 years in the Tomsk region and 56 years in Russia, which is relatively lower than in European countries and the United States. With increasing age of patients receiving dialysis treatment, a progressive increase in the incidence of secondary hyperparathyroidism is recorded. Mineral and bone disorders, hyperphosphatemia, hypercalcemia all lead to premature vascular calcification, increase the risk of cardiovascular complications and death. At the same time, elderly patients are characterized by an increase in risks immediately after the start of dialysis therapy. There is a global tendency towards increase in the target level of parathyroid hormone. Parathyroidectomy is recognized as a gold standard for treatment of drug-resistant hyperparathyroidism across the world. As the development of hyperplasia in the parathyroid glands does not proceed synchronously, instead progressing at different rates and in the selective glands, methods of local influence on the altered glands have recently been developed in order to gradually control secondary hyperparathyroidism. Alternative to the total parathyroidectomy are minimally invasive non-surgical methods, attractive due to a smaller number of complications, such as bleeding and paresis of the recurrent laryngeal nerve. Examples of minimally invasive methods are local injections of preparations of the active form of vitamin D, which lead to apoptosis of parathyroid gland cells instead of their destruction, and are safer in relation to surrounding tissues. This article presents current data on the prevalence of secondary hyperparathyroidism in chronic kidney disease. An analysis of clinical trials was carried out based on articles indexed in the Scopus database, the Russian Science Citation Index, PubMed and Web of Science.

Mathematics is a common science underlying the development of modern technology, has an important role in various disciplines and advance the human mind. Cooperative learning in terms of learning gotong royong, the learning system that provides opportunities for learners to work with other students in structured tasks. Furthermore it is said, cooperative learning only runs when a group or a team is formed in which students work directed to achieve goals that have been determined by the number of group members in general consists of 4-6 people only. This study is planned in two cycles and each cycle is done daily. As the subjects in this study are students of class XI MIPA 1 MAN 1 Tulungagung academic year 2021/2022 with the number of students as many as 33 people. The data in this research were collected by using observation sheet and test of mathematics learning result of the students. Observations made by the researchers themselves on the activities of students and teachers during the learning process, for each meeting by filling out the observation sheet that has been provided. In cycle I, teacher activity is still not maximal in applying the model of study being studied. It can be seen the parts that have not been implemented by the teacher in the learning process in accordance with the Cooperative Script learning model, ie the teacher is less in conveying the learning objectives, the teacher is still not guiding the students in doing the UKBM and less in the timing so that all activities in plan has not been done properly. The level of student activity in cycle I has increased, although not yet optimal. Students have started to follow the learning well, are willing to discuss with friends of the group, even students want to ask the teacher about the material that has not been understood. It also has an impact on improving student learning outcomes. In the first cycle, student learning outcomes increased to 30% from 60% before the action. In cycle II, teacher activity can be said to be maximal, due to an increase in the done by the teacher. The existence of reflection from cycle I, make teachers begin to improve its performance. This can be seen from the activity of teachers who are in accordance with what is planned. In cycle II, students have started to be active in learning and cooperation in the group the better. So that the result of learning mathematics of student also increase by applying Cooperative Script learning model from mean of student pre-action score.

Cymbopogon citratus es una planta aromática de amplio uso como infusión a nivel mundial que destaca por sus efectos farmacológicos y biológicos. El objetivo de este artículo es investigar la actividad citotóxica, antioxidante y antihemolítica del extracto metanólico de C. citratus. El extracto se obtuvo por extracción con metanol absoluto utilizando un equipo Soxhlet durante 48 h y al cual se le realizaron pruebas fitoquímicas convencionales; la actividad citotóxica se evaluó mediante la técnica colorimétrica del MTT a una absorbancia (Abs) de 570 nm. Además, se evaluó el porcentaje de actividad antioxidante mediante el ensayo de radicales libres DPPH (Abs = 517 nm) y la capacidad de proteger eritrocitos expuestos frente al radical oxidante azo (AAPH, Abs = 540 nm) que provoca la oxidación de las membranas eritrocitarias. El análisis fitoquímico reveló la presencia en el extracto de C. citratus de cumarinas, esteroles y flavonoides. El extracto posee actividad citotóxica considerable frente a la línea de linfoma L5178Y-R (IC50 = 209.2 µg/ml), no es toxico en eritrocitos humanos (IC50 = 607.0 µg/ml), además presenta una alta capacidad protectora de los eritrocitos frente al AAPH (IC50 = 7.0 µg/ml). Estos resultados demuestran los potenciales efectos biológicos de C. citratus en ensayos in-vitro. En lo sucesivo, nuestro equipo de laboratorio seguirá trabajando para aislar e identificar los compuestos presentes en el extracto de C. citratus responsables de los efectos citotóxicos observados, con el fin de encontrar más alternativas para el tratamiento del cáncer.

De fracasos, éxitos e inconformidades. Una trayectoria clerical en una época de crisis y transición: el caso de José Miguel Guridi y Alcocer (1795-1805)
Authors: Aguilar García Carolina Yeveth
Published: July 2023

El objetivo de este artículo es el de reflexionar en torno a las trayectorias eclesiásticas entre los años 1795 y 1805 en el arzobispado de México a partir de un estudio de caso: el del clérigo José Miguel Guridi y Alcocer. Este acercamiento se hará a partir de contextualizar la situación social del clero durante la segunda mitad del siglo XVIII y de cómo los problemas señalados durante esos años dan cuenta de una profunda crisis en el ámbito clerical urbano. Tal circunstancia intentó solucionarse a partir de dos proyectos arzobispales de corrección y reforma del clero secular: el Real Colegio Seminario de Instrucción, retiro voluntario y corrección de Tepotzotlán, fundada en 1777 y la Congregación de Sacerdotes Oblatos, establecida en 1803. Es en este contexto de crisis clerical en el que podemos insertar una trayectoria singular, la del párroco José Miguel Guridi y Alcocer, quien a partir de sus Apuntes de vida y una representación al rey nos proporciona el marco ideal para comprender cuáles fueron los detonantes y las problemáticas más representativas y características de la crisis del clero a finales del siglo XVIII e inicios del siglo XIX.

Anthropocene and the Posthuman in The Back of the Turtle
Authors: White Joel
Published: July 2023

The Anthropocene is our current geological epoch in which humans are the primary agents of environmental change. Inherent in that agency is the possibility that humans could bring an end to the world, at least as we know it today. The Anthropocene is thus a drama in which humans at once play the role of protagonist and antagonist; how can we achieve a happy ending to this drama if these two roles are played by the same actor? To find tentative answers to this question, I analyze Thomas King’s 2014 novel The Back of the Turtle through the lens of posthumanism. The Back of the Turtle follows the trials and tribulations of Gabriel Quinn, an Indigenous scientist who journeys to the town of Samaritan Bay to commit suicide after a botched deployment of his experimental defoliant led to an ecological disaster in the region. However, after failing his initial suicide attempt, Gabriel lives awhile among the region’s remaining human and non-human inhabitants. Through them, Gabriel reconnects with his once-lost Indigeneity and discovers a posthuman alternative to the human subjectivity that drives the Anthropocene, showing how the protagonist may survive and the antagonist be defeated.
Representation of Gender and Social Class in Sin Yunbok’s Two-Sword Dance
Authors: Weber Amy
Published: July 2023

This essay will explore how the painter Sin Yunbok used visual conventions to depict gender and class in his 1745 painting Two-Sword Dance. Two-Sword Dance was painted during the Joseon period of Korea (1392 - 1897) when Neo-Confucianism was the dominant ideology. Elements of Neo-Confucianism that are relevant to this work are the value placed on proper social relationships and the patriarchal structure of society. This paper will focus on the position of yangban (upper-class) men and women and gisaeng (female performers) in society as represented through Sin’s work. In Two-Sword Dance, Sin depicts the societal and gender roles that were dominant in the Neo-Confucian Joseon society in three main ways. Firstly, the clothing of the figures demonstrates their position in society. Secondly, Sin uses the spatial separation of the yangban family and the gisaeng dancers to demonstrate the separate and hierarchical spheres in society. Lastly, the motion of the gisaeng and the stillness of the yangban women represent how, although part of a lower class, gisaeng were often afforded more social freedom than yangban women. This paper aims to provide a close reading of Two-Sword Dance and a clearer understanding of the role of gender and class in Joseon society.
Nawalang Ilaw ng Tahanan:
Authors: Mindo Tanya
Published: July 2023

The Philippines belongs to Southeast Asia and is rich in natural resources. However, it remains a developing country, with globalization and neoliberal policies paralyzing its industries and damaging its environmental resources to prioritize foreign interests (Velasco 2002). With a lack of national industries, the Philippine government implemented a labor export policy favorable to developed countries such as Canada, whose demand for domestic work, childcare, and eldercare expanded. In the 1980s, Canada’s Foreign Domestic Movement (FDM) Program allowed migrant workers to gain permanent residency status (Velasco 2002; Cohen 2000). FDM was replaced by the Live-in Care Giver (LCP) Program by 1992, and during this period the Philippines became among the top sources of laborers to Canada (Bonifacio 2008). The seemingly mutually beneficial setup between the two countries inevitably treated these human beings as commodities, with the laborers also racialized, thereby devoid of rights typically afforded to other migrant workers of European descent. The migration process was also gendered since most caregivers were women, depicting care work as feminized. This paper entitled: Ang Nawalang Ilaw ng Tahanan: Examining the Lived Experiences of Filipino Women in the Live-In Caregiver Program (Trans: The Missing Light of the Home) attempts to shed light on the experiences of Filipino caregivers who worked under the Live-In Caregiver Program. Most importantly, it investigates the interlocking issues of race, ethnicity, and gender and how these became tools of oppression for these Filipino women.
Indigenous-Led Environmental Action: A Relational and Reciprocal Means for Environmental Protection and Indigenous Liberation
Authors: Elsalhy Jana
Published: July 2023

Environmental harm and environmental violence affect everyone, however, climate change and environmental degradation disproportionately affect Indigenous communities. More specifically, Indigenous women face the worst neglect and harm from environmental damage. To adequately address these harms, it is necessary to support Indigenous-led climate activism and community-based organizations and to platform for those who are affected most deeply. Structural violence did not end at colonialism and this paper explores the ways in which environmental violence and degradation represent an ongoing form and result of colonial and capitalist practices. This paper also explores how damage to the land results in damage to the people who rely on it. Environmental violence represents a manifestation of intersecting modes of oppression like colonialism, capitalism, patriarchy, imperialism, racism, and sexism; intersectional social movements are therefore necessary to adequately work against these intersecting oppressions.

The goal of this study was to look at students' motivation for English studying at Cendana Senior High School in Pekanbaru. The researchers utilized a descriptive quantitative technique. There were 113 pupils in third grade, divided into four classrooms. The researchers employed a purposive selection strategy to choose 30 pupils from this group. The researchers employed questionnaires to collect data. According to the study's results, the degree of blended-learning students' English learning motivation was 73,2%, indicating that the students were well motivated. In this study, the instrumental factor was found to be the most crucial component in students' motivation for English blended learning. Blended learning is fascinating to the instructor and students because it allows them to exercise English in several ways. Students can learn not only by seeing and hearing the instructor in front of the class on a chalkboard but also by the teacher's excitement and personal characteristics. Students may get more engaged in studying English through various techniques, and they may also exercise their knowledge through blended learning. There might be other explanations from films or music.
The Use of Google Translate in EFL Essay Writing: Is It a Cheating?
Authors: Puspa Adelia , Saputra Dwi Bayu , Haryana Lia
Published: July 2023

During the process of writing an essay, many students are utilizing online translation tools like Google Translate due to the widespread availability of computing technology and the internet. Online translation programming is strong, yet it is inclined to over-exacting interpretation, and cannot represent the setting similar to a human interpreter. As a result, students are left to rely on a tool that promises to "do the hard work" for them by allowing them to only think and write in their native language. This study is aimed to determine the extent to which students at the University of Bengkulu, Indonesia, rely on technology in writing essays and whether they consider its use to be cheating or not. The data was obtained by conducting mixed-method research through survey with a closed-ended questionnaire and interview to the English Department students of Universitas Bengkulu who are currently taking a Critical Writing course. The results discovered that all of the participants have utilized GT as a translation tool for writing essays particularly to translate word from their first language into English. Moreover, they considered using GT for essay writing as cheating depending on how it is used; for graded assignments or writing test.

The mixed method was implemented specifically related to the explanatory sequential design (Quantitative-Qualitative) where the research design comprised two interactive sequential stages. The first stage was carried out by collecting and analyzing quantitative data using the pre-experimental method to find out the difference before and after being given treatment. The samples were determined using purposive sampling where 30 Papuan EFL students were selected, and data were analyzed by using SPSS. The second stage was carried out by collecting and analyzing qualitative data using structured interviews. The samples were determined using purposive sampling also, and 7 Papuan EFL students were considered representative to obtain data. The results show that Computer-Assisted Language Learning (CALL) by smartphones is effective to increase English proficiency of Papuan EFL students by a significant increase of 38.70%. The effectiveness of this learning cannot be separated from the aspects of efficiency, flexibility, and accessibility supported by excellence in terms of visualization and auditory systems. Moreover, some factors that certainly become constraints of Computer-Assisted Language Learning (CALL) including internet networks, small screens, notifications and advertisements, lack of proficiency towards applications, unsupported smartphones, and battery power. By solving all these constraints, CALL can be more effective to be applied in teaching and learning. The significant implication provides better change in the world of education through learning strategies in utilizing technology especially certain context and conditions in Papua.

Keadilan Gender Dalam Sistem Kewarisan Bilateral Hazairin

Published: July 2023

Abstract: Most Muslims understand that the law of inheritance is a law whose formulation cannot be changed so that reforms regarding inheritance law in Islam are not carried out by many Muslims, for example, the formula regarding the division of 1: 2 for men and women which most of them regard as a definite conclusion. This research is a literature study with data analysis techniques using content analysis. Sources of data come from books that discuss inheritance law and scientific journals that are in line with this research. Therefore, the renewal of inheritance law is not much done, this is different from Islamic family law which has undergone many reforms. Even so, it does not mean that all Muslims consider it a rule that cannot be changed, but some figures think that inheritance laws in Islam can change according to existing social conditions. This social condition can have an influence on the enactment of a law, including the law of inheritance in Islam. This can be found in the thoughts of national figures, namely Hazairin, who offers new ideas regarding inheritance law in Islam.Keywords: Gender Justice, Bilateral Inheritance, Hazairin's Thought Abstrak: Sebagian besar umat Islam memahami bahwa hukum waris adalah hukum yang tidak dapat diubah, sehingga banyak umat Islam yang tidak mereformasi hukum waris Islam, misalnya rumus pembagian 1 : 2 untuk pria dan wanita, yang merupakan formula sederhana bagi kebanyakan orang. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kajian pustaka dengan menggunakan teknik analisis data melalui analisis isi. Sumber informasi berasal dari buku-buku tentang hukum waris dan jurnal ilmiah yang relevan dengan penelitian ini. Hasil kajian temuan pada penelitian ini yakni pembaharuan hukum kewarisan ini tidak banyak dilakukan, hal ini berbeda dengan hukum keluarga Islam yang mengalami banyak pembaharuan. Meskipun demikian, tidak berarti semua umat Islam menganggapnya sebagai aturan yang tidak boleh diubah, melainkan sebagai individu meyakini bahwa hukum waris Islam dapat berubah sesuai dengan kondisi sosial yang ada. Kondisi sosial ini dapat mempengaruhi pelaksanaan hukum, termasuk juga hukum kewarisan dalam Islam. Hal ini tercermin dari pemikiran tokoh-tokoh bangsa, khususnya Hazairin, yang mengajukan gagasan-gagasan baru tentang warisan Islam.Katakunci: Keadilan Gender, Sistem Kewarisan Bilateral, Pemikiran Hazairin
Procissões e representações: consmologia afroindígena nos festejos de santos na Amazônia brasileira em uma abordagem decolonial
Authors: Dias Aldeci da Silva
Published: July 2023

Este trabalho discute os festejos de santos na Amazônia e suas representações a partir de uma discussão da Nova História Cultural e Decolonial. A metodologia adotada inclui a pesquisa bibliográfica com abordagem qualitativa. O método de abordagem, considerando as diferentes formas de discutir e analisar o objeto, será feito a partir do método histórico-dialético, tendo em vista que se trata de pesquisa que opera no campo teórico-interpretativo da realidade. O objetivo deste trabalho procura compreender o fenômeno religioso como parte de uma construção cultural, ressignificadas por pessoas leigas, sustentada na fé, procurando trazer as contribuições para explicações mais efetivas do uso da memória local, utilizando outras perspectivas, notadamente, aquelas que não são vistas nos livros didáticos enfatizar, procurando demonstrar, a circularidade entre a cultura das classes dominantes e a cultura das classes subalternas. Conclui que Os Festejos, de modo geral, têm em comum não uma ideologia, e sim uma questão de fundo cultural, em uma realidade paradoxalmente cada vez mais multicultural: a luta por uma identidade religiosa. O pressuposto básico para a vida desses participantes é exteriorizar sua fé e lutar pela sua perpetuação como grupo, na formação da identidade que os une em torno de um aparato simbólico religioso.
Uma Análise teórica do conceito de identidade a partir dos estudos culturais
Authors: Silva Juliana Cristina Sousa da
Published: July 2023

Este artigo tem como objetivo fazer um estudo sobre os mais diversos conceitos de identidades em contextos britânicos e latino-americano da órbita dos estudos culturais. Sabemos que a identidade sempre foi observada por diferentes ângulos e que a sociedade buscou construir sua própria identidade cultural, determinando certos parâmetros de pertencimento, sendo que esta construção se deu através da recorrência à sua história e ao seu passado. As questões sobre identidade ganharam expressão com as mudanças políticas e culturais nos últimos anos, transformações estas que foram resultado das questões emergentes do mundo moderno, principalmente o surgimento do conceito de sujeito. A identidade, neste interim, se forma a partir de várias representações e significações, resultando de várias histórias passadas. A fundamentação teórica deste trabalho ancora-se nos estudos de Stuart Hall (2003) e Martín-Barbero (1997), dentre outros, o que permitiu caracterizá-lo como bibliográfico com abordagem qualitativa.
Indigenismo e Movimento Indígena no Brasil
Authors: Santos Ivan Pereira Rodrigues dos
Published: July 2023

Neste artigo, buscamos desenvolver uma breve reflexão sobre o processo de criação e consolidação do movimento indígena no Brasil durante as décadas de 1970 e 1980. Para isso, buscamos compreender quem foram as lideranças indígenas de diferentes etnias e regiões do Brasil que o formaram, bem como a identidade supraétnica que construíram, responsável por dar coesão a este movimento social. Também buscamos inserir estas reflexões na linha historiográfica denominada Nova História Indígena, dialogando com outras áreas do conhecimento, principalmente a antropologia e o direito. Utilizamos algumas compilações produzidas por juristas que nos auxiliaram na compreensão da legislação brasileira e de suas transformações ao longo do século XX. Construímos o objeto de pesquisa por meio da análise de publicações periódicas do jornal Porantim, além de outros documentos produzidos por organizações indigenistas e indígenas.
Na margem da visibilidade: indígenas potiguaras LGBTQIAPN+ da Paraíba no contexto do aldeamento e da cidade

O objetivo dessa pesquisa é sinalizar a existência dos Indígenas Potiguaras LGBTQIAPN+ dos aldeamentos e núcleos urbanos do Litoral Norte Paraibano, bem como na necessidade de ampliar as concepções frente à discussão sobre sexualidade nas terras indígenas. Por vez, a metodologia utilizada parte do relato de experiência enquanto indígena potiguara gay, bem como a escrita em primeira pessoa, destacando os enfrentamentos frente à homofobia e discriminações tanto dentro das aldeias quanto na cidade – e mesmo na Academia. Além disso, com ênfase no compromisso ético dessa pesquisa de trabalho de conclusão de curso, ora em andamento, os resultados pairam através dos discursos de ódio, violências físicas, verbais e psicológicas contra os Potiguaras LGBTQIAPN+ na cidade e principalmente dentro do aldeamento, sendo fortemente influenciada pela presença da fé cristã nesses espaços de terra indígena (TI), e o aumento expressivo da perda das tradições originárias, assim como também o preconceito, afeito sob diversas óticas: são indígenas paraibanos/as/es, racializados/as/es e LGBTQIAPN+. Conclui-se que pouco se fala sobre os povos originários na perspectiva de sexualidade, aflorando ainda mais o olhar colonizador sobre esses corpos, que são alvos constantes do apagamento e do silenciamento. Logo, são urgentes os debates para que se possa haver visibilidade, acolhimento e principalmente respeito, no âmbito da escrita da História – e para além dela.
