Reforma da previdência e regime complementar*
Authors: LAVINAS LENA , ARAÚJO ELIANE DE
Published: January 2018

RESUMO Este artigo interroga a relação entre o sistema público de aposentadorias e pensões no Brasil e o regime complementar de capitalização (ou de contribuição definida), ante mais uma investida de reforma contra o seguro social. Após caracterizar brevemente o perfil do sistema público e a evolução recente das aposentadorias fully-funded, discute os pressupostos de que este regime seria mais benéfico à elevação da poupança privada e, portanto, do investimento, dimensões sempre problemáticas da dinâmica do desenvolvimento no Brasil. Conclui que a expansão da previdência complementar privada não contribui nem para o aumento do investimento, nem para a ampliação do mercado de capitais, tendendo, ao contrário, a estimular a concentração de renda, já alarmante no país.

Direito e fraternidade: a dignidade humana como fundamento
Authors: Martini Sandra , Machado Jaborandy Clara Cardoso , Resta Eligio
Published: January 2018

O presente trabalho pretende realizar uma revisão bibliográfica sobre o tratamento jurídico da dignidade da pessoa humana com o intuito de verificar a conexão com a fraternidade. Para tanto, discorre inicialmente sobre a trajetória normativa da dignidade, demonstrando que a nova centralidade do conceito de dignidade está diretamente relacionada a fatores de unificação cultural como os direitos humanos e a fraternidade. Posteriormente, aborda a compreensão jurídica da dignidade e sua relação com a fraternidade, retratando o liame existente entre os dois conceitos e a necessidade de observância de ambos para a plena efetivação de seus conteúdos normativos. Como metodologia aplicada à pesquisa, utilizou-se, inicialmente, o método indutivo, alcançando a premissa geral na trajetória normativa da dignidade, para posteriormente utilizar o método dedutivo e descritivo e assim verificar a conexão da dignidade com a fraternidade. Quanto aos procedimentos, foram utilizadas as técnicas provenientes dos tipos de pesquisas bibliográfica e documental.

Experimental modeling of socio-dynamic phenomena in mass culture
Authors: Lebedev A.N.
Published: January 2018

The article discusses the possibility of experimental modeling of mass culture phenomena while studying for small social groups. This strategy is defined on the base of the subject-active approach. In accordance with this approach the author claims by the following. As well as a person, small group, large social group and even society at large are subjects of the creative activity; therefore in many situations they are similar. The purpose of this study was to examine the emergence of the new group norms and cultural values in conditions of experimental simulation. The analysis of this phenomenon is based on the social and cultural dynamics theory, which was offered by A. Mole’s. The author believes that there are grounds to assert that meaningless objects can become the values of mass culture following the principle: an accidental phenomenon — the group norm — socio-cultural value. The study was conducted by the laboratory experiment in three stages. It showed that an object (a word) randomly selected by the participants in the experiment can become sensible in the framework of group decision-making. It gains «value» for the participants so as they try to keep it on while a discussion with opponents.

Cognitive maps influence over driving strategies in Russia: analyzing Driving Anger Expression Inventory (DAX) and Dula Dangerous Driving Index (DDDI) factors
Authors: Chetverikova A.I. , Ermolaev V.V. , Tkachenko O.N.
Published: January 2018

This article summarizes our investigation of drivers cognitive maps and its influence over their behavior. 182 subjects participated in our research, i.e. 97 professional drivers, 85 car enthusiasts, 156 men and 26 women, 20—66 years old, mileage about 3—150 thousands kilometers per year. Questionnaire “Dula Dangerous Driving Index” was used on Russian subjects for the first time ever. Our results show that subjects’ need for get their rocks off when they are angered (or suspicious, or failed to trust the world around) and aggressive behavior during driving are correlated. Most drivers feel emotional tension during driving and use some self-regulation techniques to decrease the tension stabilize their emotional state. The following factors were found to correlate with one’s aggressive behavior on the road: feeling suspicious of world/self/others, low level of self-acceptance, external locus of control.
Moisture transport from the Arctic: a characterization from a Lagrangian perspective
Authors: Vázquez M. , Nieto R. , Drumond A. , Gimeno L.
Published: January 2018

The Arctic Ocean has suffered extreme reductions in sea ice in recent decades, and these observed changes suggest implications in terms of moisture transport. The Arctic region is a net sink of moisture in terms of the total hydrological cycle, however, its role as a moisture source for specific regions has not been extensively studied. Our results show that 80% of the moisture supply from the Arctic contributes to precipitation over itself, representing about 8% of the global moisture supply to the Arctic, the remaining 20% is distributed in the surrounding. A reduction in the sea ice extent could make the Arctic Ocean a slightly higher source of moisture to itself or to the surrounding areas. The analysis of the areas affected by Arctic moisture transport is important for establishing those areas vulnerable to change in a framework of a growing sea ice decline. To this end, the Lagrangian model FLEXPART was used in this work to establish the main sinks for the Arctic Ocean, focusing on the moisture transport from this region. The results suggest that most of the moisture loss occurs locally over the Arctic Ocean itself, especially in summer. Some moisture contribution from the Arctic Ocean to continental areas in North America and Eurasia is also noted in autumn and winter especially from Central Arctic, the East Siberian Sea, the Laptev, Kara, Barents, East Greenland and Bering Seas, and the Sea of Okhotsk.

The development of aerospace and information technologies, along with the successes in agro chemistry, seed production and biology in general, made it possible to raise the efficiency of farming and crop production. The article provides a brief overview of the work in the field of "Precise farming". The issues of information support of Precise farming in the field of rational resource allocation based on remote sensing of the Earth (RS) are considered. Various types of aircraft from space satellites to drones capable of carrying out remote sensing for agricultural producers are considered. The results of monitoring of agricultural lands allow to make local and strategic decisions in an operative mode on a situation that in real life is characterized by great dynamics. The availability of appropriate tools in the form of knowledge and data bases and decision support systems increases the efficiency of farming. Various subject ontologies (ontologies of plants, ontology of plant features, ontology of experimental conditions, etc.) and ontology of tasks solved in the field of Precise farming are considered. The original results of ontological modeling of the investigated area are presented on the basis of the knowledge base designer, developed by the company "Smart Solutions". To solve the problem of resource allocation and work planning, it is proposed to use the multi-agent approach.
Beyond activities: Exploring real questions for deeper understandings of children’s interests
Authors: Hedges Helen , Weisz-Koves Tamar , Cooper Maria , Lovatt Daniel
Published: January 2018

Children’s interests are an important basis for creating an early childhood curriculum. However, opportunities to build a curriculum responsive to children’s interests may often be missed if busy teachers simply add new resources to activities. This article draws on the notion of real questions as a way to interpret children’s interests more deeply. We discuss examples from one child, Zoey, and her family, to show how children’s real questions might provide a basis for curriculum through encouraging teachers to identify and respond to children’s interests, inquiry, and families’ funds of knowledge in meaningful ways.
Learning English as an additional language in early childhood settings: How do educators support young children?
Authors: Beauchamp Katina , Tucker Corrina , Howland Peter
Published: January 2018

New Zealand’s increasingly heterogeneous population places manifold demands on the education sector to integrate children who do not speak English as a first language. Limited research exists on how minority language children acquire English within early childhood education settings and how teachers support this development. This article reports on research which shows teachers rely predominantly on centres’ philosophies and sociocultural practices as per Te Whāriki, and on children’s perceived natural ability to learn by “osmosis”. Lack of structural support and knowledge suggests there is a need for further research and targeted support for children and teachers.

El debate sobre la regularización de la tortura en la «guerra contra el terror»
Authors: Aguirre Mariano
Published: January 2018

En el contexto actual de la Guerra contra el terror planteada desde el gobierno estadounidense el debate sobre la regularización de la práctica de la tortura se plantea como una necesidad impostergable para conseguir la salvaguarda de la democracia y el Estado de Derecho. Así es como han venido actuando los gobernantes estadounidenses y diferentes intelectuales cercanos. En este artículo se resalta que, precisamente, la regularización de la tortura socavaría la legitimidad del Estado de Derecho. Las ideas elaboradas por el grupo de juristas fueron y continúan siendo difundidas por el Presidente Bush y su administración al igual que académico y comentaristas en medios periodísticos. El resultado es muy grave para la protección de los Derechos Humanos en el sistema internacional, especialmente por que uno de los países más fuertes del mundo y con mayor prestigio en la promoción y defensa de esos derechos está ofi cialmente legitimando su violación.Publicación en línea: 11 diciembre 2017

Se cierra el círculo del exterminio: pueblos ocultos en la Amazonía Ecuatoriana
Authors: Aguirre Andrade Milagros
Published: January 2018

Los pueblos ocultos que aún habitan en la selva ecuatoriana están a punto de desaparecer. El Estado no acaba de reconocer su existencia y, por tanto, les ha negado su derecho a existir. Las principales amenazas: la extracción ilegal de madera en su territorio y la explotación petrolera, los tienen cercados, al borde del exterminio.Las políticas conservacionistas con las que se llena la boca el Estado solo están en el papel. El Parque Nacional Yasuní, Reserva Mundial de Biosfera y Area Protegida y la Zona Intangible (denominada así la zona en la que está prohibida cualquier actividad extractiva) son vulneradas constantemente desde el propio Estado. Las fronteras de la «Zona Intangible» están marcadas por los límites de los bloques petroleros y, tierra adentro, la selva se ha vuelto caldo de cultivo de operaciones ilícitas, tala ilegal, reducto y guarida de colonos en busca de un tesoro: el cedro y la caoba. El discurso conservacionista se contrapone con la realidad. Existen un territorio que no debe ser tocado y dónde el único ausente es, precisamente, la autoridad que lo controla. Existen unas políticas de protección a los pueblos ocultos en el papel y hasta una oferta para evitar la extracción petrolera en la zona. Incluso existen unas medidas cautelares otorgadas por la Comisión Interamericana de los Derechos Humanos. Pero no existe quién ponga orden en el terreno mismo: no hay autoridad, no hay justicia, no hay ley que se cumpla en el territorio en el que habita el mayor tesoro intangible del Ecuador.Publicación en línea: 11 diciembre 2017
The impact of political globalization on human rights law
Authors: Cinelli Claudia
Published: January 2018

En la era actual de globalización política, los Gobiernos mantienen su función tradicional de protagonistas en el sistema internacional (de derechos humanos). Al mismo tiempo, sin embargo, se espera que conciban instrumentos que potencien al máximo su capacidad para adaptarse a las necesidades de una protección efectiva de los derechos humanos debido a las «condiciones actuales». En verdad, si uno se para a reflexionar acerca de la cada vez mayor diversidad de actores internacionales y a considerar «la ley internacional en su variedad infinita», la cuestión es si el régimen internacional de derechos humanos de hoy en día es en realidad diferente hoy del de épocas anteriores. Al considerar la interacción entre la política (global) internacional y la ley internacional de derechos humanos, el artículo propone —en términos de desafíos— una reconsideración de las obligaciones (positivas) del Gobierno de conformidad con la naturaleza circular de la protección internacional de los derechos humanos.Publicación en línea: 11 diciembre 2017
Freedom of religion and worship places: visualization of religious pluralism at local level
Authors: Urrutia Asua Gorka
Published: January 2018

The visualization of religious pluralism in the public sphere is a growing phenomenon in all major European cities, and one of the elements that most clearly reflects it is the proliferation of worship places for religious minorities. In many cases, these situations have been quite conflictive, generating bases that make coexistence at local level more difficult. Attitudes coming from public opinion and the speeches by public administration representatives have clashed with the demands of religious communities. These tensions describe a situation where a greater effort should be made to accommodate basic demands related to a human right such as freedom of religion. This article, based on a particular case, pretends to identify the basic fundaments that should be taken into account when the management of religious pluralism is faced at the local level.Published online: 11 December 2017

Contribution of secularism and discrimination law to the protection of religious pluralism: the French experience
Authors: Ast Frédérique
Published: January 2018

In public debate and in the media, French secularism is often understood as a straightforward principle that not only prescribes the separation of Church and State and the neutrality of the State but also, by extension, a ban on all religious expression within the State institutions or more generally in public. This ideological point of view is nonetheless without any legal foundation in France. This paper aims at demonstrating that the genuine rationale and objective of French secularism consist for the State to treat all religions equally. It may even lead, to a certain extent, to the funding and the accommodation of religious needs, in order to guarantee individual and collective expression of religious beliefs. Moreover, non-discrimination law has also become a suitable legal tool to fostering religious pluralism in France.Published online: 11 December 2017
Otra política de asilo es posible en Europa. Una breve comparación entre la UE y Canadá
Authors: Solanes Corella Ángeles
Published: January 2018

La situación que ha generado en la Unión Europea la mal denominada «crisis de los refugiados», pone en evidencia hasta qué punto ha fracasado el denominado Sistema Común de Asilo. Múltiples factores han concurrido, durante dos décadas, hasta llegar a lo que puede considerarse una desnaturalización del asilo. Para reivindicar la necesidad de protección internacional como un derecho en el contexto europeo, es interesante analizar, como propone este trabajo, los múltiples factores que han concurrido para que el sistema Dublín no llegue a implementarse. Dicho estudio, además, puede completarse desde una perspectiva comparada atendiendo al caso canadiense. La confrontación entre algunas de las medidas articuladas en relación a los refugiados desde la Unión Europea y las que se han adoptado en Canadá, permite trazar algunas líneas directrices futuras. Lo que se pretende, en definitiva, es revindicar el asilo como un derecho dentro de un sistema europeo humano, justo y eficiente.Recibido: 25 julio 2016Aceptado: 30 noviembre 2016Publicación en línea: 11 diciembre 2017

A possível interface entre educação formal e não-formal: a escola como instrumentalizadora no processo de emancipação da comunidade e a intervenção na realidade social
Authors: Germanos Erika , Saito Carlos Hiroo
Published: January 2018

O texto faz uma discussão sobre a relação entre a ampliação do acesso à escola e o caráter da escola enquanto instrumentalizadora do interesse emancipatório das camadas populares. Historicamente, a ampliação da consciência do direito à escola nasúltimas décadas está totalmente associada à luta pela melhoria das condições básicas desobrevivência, ou seja, as condições sociais, econômicas e políticas. O que queremos ressaltar é que não se pode isolar a escola do contexto histórico e dos movimentos sociais, sob pena de proceder a uma análise parcial e fragmentada do processo educacional. O fortalecimento da escola enquanto um ente a serviço dos interesses populares passa justamente pela luta para abertura dos muros da escola à comunidade. Propomos pensarnos indivíduos na sua integralidade levando em consideração os processos de humanização. Para tanto, parcerias entre a educação formal e educação não-formal representam um caminho fértil para promover o desenvolvimento humano. Assim é necessário que se faça da escola um espaço de transformação e que as escolas funcionem como centros de referência nas suas regiões de influência.
Evaluation of process performance in companies operating in Slovakia
Authors: Papulova Zuzana
Published: January 2018

One of the current approaches to performance management is based on examination of organisational performance through measurement and evaluation of the processes. Processes provide an excellent basis for the arrangement of a measurement system and performance management. The application of the process approach in performance management is based on the evaluation of processes rather than on the output results. Based on our research, we bring findings about approaches to process performance evaluation of companies operating in Slovakia. The aim of our research is to assess current approaches for evaluation of process performance in the context of application of process orientation in companies operating in Slovakia. We used questionnaires to collect data. Our sample consists of 137 companies from various sectors, sizes and age to obtain a broader overview. The results show the level of utilisation of process management and approaches to evaluation of process performance towards process improvement. Keywords: Performance measurement, business processes, process performance;
The effects of real exchange rate volatility on sectoral export flows under intermediate and flexible exchange rate regimes: Empirical evidence from Turkey
Authors: Erdal Bahar
Published: January 2018

The aim of this paper is to analyse empirically the effects of real exchange rate volatility on sectoral exports in Turkey under intermediate and flexible exchange rate regimes. The cointegration test and error correction models are used to test the long-run relationship and short-run effects, respectively. The estimation results show that the real exchange rate volatility has negative and significant effects on sectoral exports in both intermediate and flexible exchange rate regimes. These empirical results are consistent with the theory. However, the impact of real exchange rate and foreign income appeared to be quite different for the two exchange rate regimes. Further, research is required to analyse the impacts of real exchange rate and foreign income on sectoral exports. Keywords: Real exchange rate volatility, real exchange rate, intermediate exchange rate regime, flexible exchange rate regime, sectoral export.

Authors: Safari Mohammad
Published: January 2018

This study investigates the relationship between electronic customer relationship management (CRM) and electronic customer lifetime value and their analysis in the electronic business environment in the form of a conceptual framework. CRM is a tool that different industries, especially in competitive conditions, use to maintain customers and increase their satisfaction. An important concept that arises as customer lifetime value that specifies the expected amount of value that the client in a given period of time creates is undoubtedly related to the benefits that accrue to the organisation. The global nature of business as well as the development of information and communication technology is forcing organisations to take advantage of emerging technologies to maintain their competitiveness. The use of e-business is a prominent example. The results of this study could help both researchers and executives of organisations and businesses with the subject of research, and provide good insights for them. Keywords: Electronic business (e-Business), electronic customer relationship management (e-CRM), electronic customer lifetime value (e-CLV), relationship marketing;
Determining the relationship between the brand value and financial ratios, and evaluation of the status of brand value in financial tables within the framework of the Turkish accounting standards
Authors: Kayali Cevdet A.
Published: January 2018

Brand value is generated depending on the value attributed to the brand by consumers and indicating the financial strength of the brand as well as company over others. With the widespread acquisitions and mergers since the 1980s, appraisal of brand accurately value has become quite important. The methods developed to determine the true monetary value of brands are classified into three groups: financial-based, behaviour-based and combined appraisal models. Financial models determine the brand value based on financial data such as royalty paid for the brand and price premiums created by the brand. Financial appraisal methods do not take into account customer behaviours and preferences that is criticised to be shortcoming of this method. In order to eliminate this shortcoming, behaviour-based appraisal models have been developed. The behaviour-based models provide an assessment of the brand from the customerâ€™s perspective. However, they do not bring a distinct methodology to translate appraisal elements influencing brand value in monetary terms. On the other hand, the combined appraisal models which utilise the methodologies employed by both financial and behaviour-based appraisal models assess brand value by considering both financial and non-financial criteria. In this study, brief information on methods developed to calculate the brand value, which is of great importance for companies, is given. The relationship between brand value and financial variables of net sales, EBIT-earnings before interest and tax, total assets and total equity is tested through panel data analysis. For this analysis, 100 companies with most valuable brands listed in Brand Finance Annual Reports in Turkey were studied and 20 companies with complete and accurate financial data between the years 2011 and 2015 were included in analysis. Findings revealed a significant and positive relationship between brand value and financial parameters of net sales and total assets. However, no significant relationship is found between brand value and financial parameters of EBIT and total equity. Keywords: Brand value, intangible assets, financial ratios

Se presenta un estudio para la determinación de la longitud necesaria de apoyo de elementos de la superestructura a partir de la respuesta calculada de los desplazamientos relativos que se presentan entre las pilas de un puente estructurado a base de claros simplemente apoyados. El estudio se realiza considerando a los puentes desplantados en distintos tipos de suelo. La presencia de tales desplazamientos relativos originada por la diferencia en las respuestas de cada pila sometida a la acción de un sismo, puede llegar a producir golpeteo en los elementos de la superestructura y eventualmente el colapso de la misma por la pérdida de apoyo. Para la obtención de talesdesplazamientos, se toman en cuenta varios parámetros como son la longitud del claro entre pilas y el periodo de vibrar de las mismas; la propuesta que se hace sobre la longitud mínima de apoyo está en función de tales parámetros

A diferencia de estudios que determinan relaciones de atenuación usando varias trayectorias a la vez, este estudio presenta un enfoque en la delimitación del peligro sísmico que particulariza tanto la estratigrafía como la dirección a la fuente sísmica. Esta metodología fue aplicada a la trayectoria Guerrero-Querétaro a partir de registros sísmicos de estaciones que definen dicha trayectoria. Se analizaron seis sismos: el primero ocurrido en 1993 (Mw=6.6), dos en 2009 (Mw=5.2 y 5.6), y otros tres sismos de menor magnitud ocurridos en el 2010 (Mw=4.3, 4.7 y 4.9), conformando un total de 16 registros sísmicos, incluyendo las primeras señales sísmicas registradas en la ciudad de Querétaro. Estos sismos ocurrieron en la zona de subducción del Pacífico Mexicano, con fuente en el estado de Guerrero y todos ellos presentan características de la sismicidad interplaca. Respecto a estudios previos, los resultados muestran variaciones atribuidas a: 1) el análisis de una trayectoria y 2) la inclusión de registros en Querétaro (zona dentro del Cinturón Volcánico Mexicano, MVB por sus siglas en Inglés), los cuales presentan amplitudes que concuerdan con un decaimiento lento más no una amplificación del suelo.
DISEÑO BASADO EN DESPLAZAMIENTOS DE ESTRUCTURAS ESENCIALES

Mediante el uso de sistemas equivalentes de un grado de libertad, se evalúa la pertinencia del uso que actualmente se da al factor de importancia durante el diseño sísmico de estructuras esenciales desplantadas en terreno blando. Dada la alta vulnerabilidad que a partir de sus demandas de distorsión muestran algunos de estos sistemas, se propone una metodología de diseño basada endesplazamientos para la concepción de sistemas estructurales que sean capaces de controlar adecuadamente los niveles de daño estructural y no estructural en instalaciones esenciales. La metodología es aplicable a edificios estructurados con base en marcos rígidos (también conocidos como continuos) y contempla la acción de eventos sísmicos intensos. Para mantener los niveles de daño estructural y no estructural dentro de niveles admisibles, se plantea el control simultáneo de las demandas máximas de rotación plástica y de distorsión de entrepiso. Los ejemplos que se presentan muestran que el uso de la metodología resulta en estructuras esenciales capaces de satisfacer el nivel de desempeño de Ocupación Inmediata ante la ocurrencia del sismo de diseño.
DIMENSIONADO PRELIMINAR BASADO EN RIGIDEZ DE EDIFICIOS ALTOS CON ESTRUCTURA DE ACERO RIGIDIZADOS CON DIAGONALES CONCÉNTRICAS
Authors: Terán Gilmore Amador , Coeto Galaz Guillermo
Published: January 2018

Se presenta una metodología para el dimensionado preliminar de un sistema resistente a sismos estructurado con base en marcos de acero rigidizados con diagonales concéntricas. La metodología aplica para el caso de edificios altos, cuya respuesta queda influida por componentes de deformación global en flexión y por el efecto de modos superiores de vibrar. Se presenta el dimensionado preliminar de los elementos estructurales de diferentes versiones de un sistema de contraventeo para un edificio de 24 pisos. A partir de la evaluación de las características dinámicas de las diferentes versiones del sistema de contraventeo, se concluye que la metodología propuesta conduce a un dimensionado adecuado durante el diseño preliminar basado en desempeño de edificios altos de acero contraventeados.
RETOS E INCERTIDUMBRES EN LA PREDICCIÓN Y PREVENCIÓN DEL RIESGO SÍSMICO
Authors: Tapia Hernández Edgar , Reddy Elizabeth A. , Oros Avilés Laura Josabeth
Published: January 2018

El artículo discute desde un punto multidisciplinario el estado actual de las predicciones sísmicas con sustento científico basados en precursores físicos, métodos estadísticos y los requisitos mínimos que deben considerarse para identificar métodos razonables; especialmente, los encaminados a la prevención sísmica. Sobre la cultura de la prevención se discuten cambios históricos relacionados con la población vulnerable y marginal, su progreso en relación al desarrollo científico, la evidencia antropológica sobre la eficacia de las predicciones y su influencia en la cultura de la prevención para enfrentar riesgos comunes, el sistema de alerta temprana de sismos y la influencia de las predicciones en las expectativas y decisiones de inversión.

Caros leitores, a presente edição é mais uma investida que fazemos no campo das pesquisas sobre a voz e a fala na e para a cena. Começamos com o artigo de Sulian Vieira e César Lignelli, intitulado “Narrativas, atitudes e parâmetros do som: a voz e a palavra em uma aproximação pragmática”, o qual reflete sobre os atos de narrar como um potente suporte para práticas pedagógicas que trabalham a formação do artista da cena.
Narrativas atitudes e parâmetros do som: A voz e a palavra em uma aproximação pragmática
Authors: Vieira Sulian , Lignelli César
Published: January 2018

Consideraremos a narrativa na formação de atores e atrizes em uma perspectiva pragmática. Para tal, elucidaremos sinteticamente aspectos presentes em nossas práticas pedagógicas, explicitando o valor do trabalho com as atitudes e com os parâmetros do som – intensidade, frequência, timbre, duração, contorno, direcionalidade e reverberação – na busca de uma presença cênica integralizada pelos empenhos vocal e cinético do corpo.

Relato o encontro com um estudante em específico e os desafios e memórias que o mesmo desdobra. Problematizo, a partir da narrativa desta experiência, as questões de gênero e a formação vocal do ator.
Vozes em Estado de Sítio
Authors: Martins José Batista Dal Farra
Published: January 2018

Somos Vozes em Estado de Sítio. A pressão das políticas neoliberais, implementadas no Ocidente em escala global, exigem o controle das ações coletivas e individuais, de forma crescente e, por vezes, imperceptível. O artigo aborda uma pedagogia teatral como construção de um percurso entre mestre e aprendiz neste campo minado, baseada em uma escuta avessa, estrangeira, destemperada.

A mensageira da alma
Authors: Monk Meredith , Spina Rodrigo
Published: January 2018

Em algum momento no meio da década de 1960, enquanto eu vocalizava no meu estúdio, tive uma revelação que a voz poderia ter a mesma flexibilidade e gama de movimentos da espinha ou do pé, e que eu poderia construir um vocabulário para minha voz, assim como alguém cria movimentos baseados num corpo em específico. Percebi que na voz existem inúmeras personagens, paisagens, cores, texturas, modos de se produzir sons, mensagens sem palavras. Eu intuitivamente senti o poder rico e milenar do primeiro instrumento humano e, ao explorar suas possibilidades infinitas, senti que voltava ao lar de minha família e de meu sangue.
Linoleic Acid Derivative DCP-LA Prevents Tau Phosphorylation by Targeting GSK-3β
Authors: Nishizaki Tomoyuki
Published: January 2018

Abnormal Tau phosphorylation and aggregation into neuronal paired helical filaments and neurofibrillary tangles cause tauopathies, a class of neurodegenerative diseases, that include Alzheimer’s disease, frontotemporal dementia and parkinsonism linked to chromosome 17, progressive supranuclear palsy, Pick's disease, and corticobasal degeneration. Glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK-3β) is the most critical kinase to phosphorylate Tau. We have developed the linoleic acid derivative 8-[2-(2-pentyl-cyclopropylmethyl)-cyclopropyl]-octanoic acid (DCP-LA), with cyclopropane rings instead of cis-double bonds, as an anti-dementia drug. DCP-LA serves as a selective activator of PKCε and a potent inhibitor of protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B). DCP-LA prevents Tau phosphorylation due to PKCε-mediated direct inactivation of GSK-3β, to PKCε/Akt-mediated inactivation of GSK-3β, and to receptor tyrosine kinase-mediated inactivation of GSK-3β in association with PTP1B inhibition. DCP-LA targeting GSK-3β, thus, could become a valid drug for treatment of tauopathies.
A EDUCAÇÃO DE JOVENS E ADULTOS NO SISTEMA PRISIONAL BRASILEIRO: O QUE DIZEM OS PLANOS ESTADUAIS DE EDUCAÇÃO EM PRISÕES?
Authors: Pereira Antonio
Published: January 2018

O objetivo desta pesquisa foi compreender a Educação de Jovens e Adultos (EJA) no sistema prisional brasileiro, a partir da análise de conteúdo de quatorze Planos Estaduais de Educação em Prisões (PEEPs). A questão de partida foi: como a EJA está sendo planejada nos PEEPs e quais são as principais contradições presentes? Os resultados, em linhas gerais, demonstraram que a concepção pedagógica e psicológica presentes nos Planos está fundamentada em Freire e Vygotski, embora não corporificada nas metas e ações planejadas, na organização curricular, na alfabetização, na profissionalização e no atendimento à diversidade. A EJA, no sistema prisional, é um direito, mas esbarra na ausência de escolas e salas adequadas, de acervo bibliográfico e de bibliotecas, de pessoal e de professores qualificados, de financiamento, de projetos culturais e artísticos e de leitura para a remição da pena.
