Analysis of greenhouse gas emissions using forest biomass as fuel in the drying process of agricultural crops
Authors: Pereira Ana Elisa Souza , Farias Jorge Antonio de , Pasa Débora Luana
Published: October 2024

Greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere, primarily resulting from the use of fossil fuels, have become an increasing concern regarding global warming. Given this scenario, it is necessary to develop actions that help reduce the gases emitted by different sectors. Forest biomass, as an alternative fuel, contributes to the sustainability of consuming sectors, as forests help remove carbon from the atmosphere, compensating for CO2 emissions, and it is also a source with excellent energy potential. Therefore, the present study aims to analyze gas emissions from the use of forest biomass as a renewable fuel during the drying process of agricultural crops, verifying whether the emissions comply with the limits established by legislation. The results indicate emission values exceeding the limits established by FEPAM Technical Guideline No. 001/2018, but in compliance with CONAMA Resolution No. 436/2011 for CO, with 1,439.61 mg/Nm³ for the Kepler furnace and 2,135.80 mg/Nm³ for the FOJS 24ª210V. Both are within the stipulated limits for NOx emissions, with 107.59 mg/Nm³ for the Kepler furnace and 127.34 mg/Nm³ for the FOJS 24ª210V. Forest biomass is an excellent alternative; however, it is important to conduct further studies to analyze the structural characteristics of furnaces, as well as the use of different types of biomasses, considering their physical and chemical characteristics, to achieve good efficiency while reducing gas emissions.

Published: October 2024

Nos últimos dez anos, o Brasil testemunhou um significativo aumento no uso da bactéria promotora de crescimento de plantas Azospirillum brasilense na agricultura, apresentando resultados consistentes. Esses microrganismos podem ser aplicados nas lavouras através de diferentes suportes. Nesse contexto, investigamos a eficiência agronômica e viabilidade da aplicação de A. brasilense na cultura do milho, sob formulação líquida e turfosa. Os ensaios foram realizados na safra 2021/22 em quatro locais do Brasil. Foram comparados os tratamentos controle; nitrogenado completo (100% N); inoculantes líquido e turfoso à base de Azospirillum brasilense, associados a 75% do N recomendado. A matéria seca da parte aérea, o teor de N nas folhas e nos grãos aumentaram com a inoculação desses microrganismos tanto em formulação líquida quanto turfosa, tendo desempenho iguais entre si e ao tratamento nitrogenado completo, mas sendo superiores ao controle em todas as áreas. A aplicação de Azospirillum brasilense em formulação líquida ou turfosa, associada a redução de 25% do N apresentou produtividade de milho equivalentes às observadas com o tratamento nitrogenado completo em todos os locais.

Authors: Fernandes Sinandra Carvalho dos Santos , Silva Suzy Cristina Pedroza da , Romero Flora Magdaline Benitez
Published: October 2024

O desmatamento em áreas de reserva legal é um problema crítico que resulta, em grande parte, das ações antrópicas, como a expansão agrícola, a pecuária, a extração de madeira e a urbanização. Essas atividades contribuem para a perda da vegetação nativa, reduzindo a biodiversidade e impactando os serviços ecossistêmicos essenciais, como a regulação do clima e a conservação dos recursos hídricos. Além disso, a degradação dessas áreas protegidas compromete a função de corredores ecológicos, que são fundamentais para a preservação da fauna e flora locais, ameaçando espécies que dependem desses habitats. Diante desse cenário é imprescindível que haja um controle e monitoramento contínuo do uso do solo. Nesse contexto, objetivou-se analisar o desmatamento na área de Reserva Legal e sua relação com os registros públicos obrigatórios, Cadastro Ambiental Rural, nos municípios da microrregião do Boca do Acre, Sul do Amazonas, Brasil. Foram relacionados os dados de desmatamento em área de reserva legal de dois municípios da microrregião do Boca do Acre, Pauini apresentou maiores índices de registro no CAR e menor índice de desmatamento se comparado com Boca do Acre que teve menos registros de imóveis e maiores índices de desmatamento. As informações do CAR podem contribuir na fiscalização, monitoramento e controle do uso do solo para a conservação e uso sustentável dos recursos naturais.

O presente estudo visou o desenvolvimento de um sistema microcontrolado para monitoramento e controle da pressão arterial, combinando um medidor não invasivo e uma bomba de infusão em seringa. O problema central abordado foi a necessidade de um dispositivo preciso e eficiente para o controle da pressão arterial, que pudesse operar com diversos tamanhos de seringas e ajustar a infusão de medicamentos. O objetivo foi criar um sistema integrado que permitisse medir a pressão arterial com precisão e controlar a administração de fármacos vasoativos. A metodologia envolveu o desenvolvimento de um hardware baseado em um microcontrolador Arduino® Mega 2560, um sensor de pressão MPX5700DP, um motor de passo EM-286 e um driver H-L298N, enquanto o software foi desenvolvido em Python, com suporte para ajustes digitais e comunicação com o hardware via Bluetooth. Os resultados mostraram precisão no controle de fluxo da bomba de infusão, com um erro percentual médio de 1,0% e desvio padrão médio de 0,016. O sistema demonstrou capacidade de infusão em taxas que variam de 0,71 mL/h a 5,91 mL/h, com desvio máximo de 3,5%. A medição da pressão arterial pelo software apresentou boa correlação com valores de controle, com uma correlação de 0,76 para a pressão sistólica e 0,53 para a diastólica. Conclui-se que o sistema desenvolvido apresentou precisão e eficiência adequadas, estando pronto para avançar para testes in vivo para validação final e otimização para aplicações clínicas.

Published: October 2024

The conventional surgical treatment of TAAA is complex and is associated with important perioperative mortality and mobidity. There is consensus that endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) is the preferred treatment for high-risk patients, but the availability of endovascular-branched grafts are quite limited. As an alternative for such dilema, the hybrid approach came as another possibility for high risk patients where totally endovascular treatment is not feasible and clinical condition for convencional surgery is prohibitive. Thus, the objective of this study is to report our service's experience with the hybrid surgical technique for treatment of this severe condition. Male patient, 73 years old, diagnosed with fusiform aortic aneurysm at the thoracoabdominal transition level, measuring 10.1 x 8.9 cm, associated with a large retroperitoneal hematoma, likely corresponding to an aneurysm rupture. The hybrid strategy was chosen, involving two stages: conventional surgery and endovascular procedures. However, approximately 24 hours after the first surgery the patient had refractory cardiac arrest at intensive care unit. Surgical treatment of thoracoabdominal aneurysm is a complex issue, and the trend over time is tending toward total endovascular treatment, and these devices will undoubtedly evolve and be used more and more in the years to come. However, the hybrid repair will likely remain a standard procedure for a while, until total endovascular procedures become more common and the necessary endovascular materials widely available.

Este estudo revisa a literatura sobre tromboflebite em veias normais, um tema raramente abordado, com foco em publicações dos últimos 20 anos. A trombose de veia superficial, caracterizada pela formação de coágulos após trauma direto, e a tromboflebite superficial, que envolve inflamação ou infecção dos vasos, compartilham fatores de risco como varizes, obesidade e gravidez. Ambas as condições apresentam risco de complicações, como trombose venosa profunda, e requerem uma abordagem diagnóstica que inclui ultrassonografia e avaliação clínica detalhada. O tratamento padrão envolve analgésicos, compressão, anti-inflamatórios e mobilização precoce, com a cirurgia sendo reservada para casos específicos. Infecções podem exigir antibióticos, enquanto distúrbios hematológicos podem necessitar de anticoagulação, geralmente com heparina de baixo peso molecular. A revisão da literatura incluiu 11 estudos após a triagem de 1585 artigos na base de dados PubMed. Os estudos selecionados abordam diversas causas, como cateteres intravenosos, malignidades, e tromboflebites sépticas, além de explorarem diferentes abordagens de tratamento. A incerteza sobre o manejo ideal dessas condições é evidente, embora anticoagulantes como fondaparinux e heparina sejam frequentemente recomendados. A revisão também confirma a associação significativa entre a tromboflebite e o risco de trombose e embolia, destacando a importância de investigar malignidades subjacentes quando a tromboflebite ocorre sem causa aparente. Estes achados enfatizam a necessidade de mais pesquisas para esclarecer as melhores práticas terapêuticas e a relação entre tromboflebite e outras condições médicas.

Published: October 2024

A concepção tradicional da velhice como um período de repouso e inatividade tem sido desafiada pelas práticas sociais contemporâneas, nas quais as pessoas idosas estão cada vez mais engajadas em uma ampla variedade de atividades que promovem participação, aprendizagem e flexibilidade. Esse fenômeno se torna ainda mais relevante ao analisarmos o papel das mulheres idosas, que estão ocupando espaços públicos na sociedade brasileira de maneira significativa e transformadora. Diante desse contexto, esta pesquisa tem como objetivo analisar o espetáculo popular "Boi Brilho do SESC", uma festividade que envolve idosos e que representa uma expressão cultural tradicional no Maranhão. O foco do estudo será a abordagem teórica e prática da produção cênica, com ênfase nos procedimentos criativos e no trabalho colaborativo dos profissionais envolvidos. Para isso, serão utilizadas a Etnonocenologia e a Etnometodologia como abordagens metodológicas, uma vez que este estudo busca compreender o protagonismo das mulheres idosas nessa manifestação cultural, bem como a importância do envolvimento intergeracional no bumba-meu-boi criado por idosos, ressaltando seu impacto nas dinâmicas sociais e culturais.

Authors: Castro Gardene Leão de , Cavalcante Cláudia Valente
Published: October 2024

O objetivo deste estudo de pós-doutorado é analisar como foram construídas as representações sociais sobre a tentativa de golpe no dia 8 de janeiro de 2023 no X (Twitter) nos meses de janeiro, fevereiro e março de 2023. Para tanto, foi utilizada a Teoria das Representações Sociais, se baseando em estudos de autores como Moscovici (2012), Jodelet (2001), Porto (2010) e Guareschi (2009). Ao realizar as análises, foi possível identificar que existem três grupos de representações sociais nos meses citados. De um lado, pessoas da esquerda viram a data como uma tentativa de golpe, aliada à negligência policial. Postaram imagens da violência, pedindo a responsabilização dos envolvidos. O segundo grupo, formados por defensores do ex-presidente Jair Bolsonaro, fez uma inversão de narrativas, com uma tentativa de responsabilizar a esquerda pelos atos de depredação, utilizando o termo “infiltrados do PT”. Um terceiro grupo criticou a abordagem policial contra os manifestantes, classificando-a como conivente ao ato, lembrando da brutalidade policial em outros protestos, sobretudo contra estudantes e professores. Conclui-se que, para sair das bolhas de informação e confrontar as Fake News, é preciso investir em uma formação de leitura crítica da mídia nas escolas e com investimento de políticas públicas.

O referido texto busca analisar as ações exercidas pela filantropia empresarial que se camufla por meio do terceiro setor. Far-se-á o movimento de discutir a origem do termo terceiro setor, a sua imbricação com a filantropia, suas ramificações dentro da sociedade e da política social, assim como da economia brasileira. Destarte, perscrutar-se as reais intenções dos programas e ações desenvolvidas pela Filantropia Empresarial, sobretudo no campo educacional. Como vereda metodológica, a investigação possui abordagem qualitativa, visto que abordará o objeto dentro de sua esfera ontológica e gnosiológica. Em acréscimo, a pesquisa possui caráter teórico, porquanto os dados se configurarão como material bibliográfico e documental. Como paradigma epistemológico, nos reportamos ao paradigma crítico-dialético. Considera-se que o sentido de retirar o Estado e o capital do papel de responsabilização na pauperização do que diz respeito às “questões sociais” é tida como uma das grandes preocupações e atuações do “terceiro setor”. No limite, este setor atua como mecanismo deformador e tendencioso de cooptação social que o sistema capitalista propõe à classe trabalhadora.

Este artigo analisou a relação entre saneamento rural e saúde coletiva na comunidade da Serra da Arara, em Cajazeiras – PB. A pesquisa utilizou um estudo de caso exploratório e descritivo com abordagem qualitativa, envolvendo uma amostra de 18 moradores. A zona rural da Serra da Arara foi escolhida por possuir uma Unidade Básica de Saúde (UBS), mas enfrenta desafios significativos em relação ao saneamento. A pesquisa revelou que a maioria dos moradores depende de poços e cisternas para abastecimento de água, enfrentando a constante escassez e a falta de água em algumas residências. O destino inadequado de resíduos sólidos e dejetos sanitários, com o uso de valas e a queima de resíduos, também foi identificado como um problema relevante. No que tange aos serviços de saúde, os principais desafios identificados foram a ausência de insumos no posto de saúde e a falta de campanhas educativas sobre saneamento. A análise das doenças relacionadas ao saneamento inadequado destacou uma incidência significativa de problemas gastrointestinais, como dores abdominais e diarreia, que são diretamente associadas à contaminação da água e dos alimentos. O estudo concluiu que a falta de saneamento básico, como acesso a água potável, tratamento de esgoto e disposição adequada de resíduos, está diretamente vinculada a diversos problemas de saúde na comunidade. Essas deficiências evidenciam a importância do saneamento rural para a promoção da saúde coletiva e a prevenção de doenças.

Selected problems of the application of sociological theories in the theory of education
Authors: Wielecki Krzysztof
Published: October 2024

The importance of sociology for the theory of upbringing is obvious. The pedagogue can use it in several ways. The first is the "encrusting" of the pedagogical text using sociological quotes and terms. Another is the use of sociology to characterize social and cultural factors of education. You can rely on it completely and uncritically. Hide behind the authority of sociological fame. The pedagogue can also critically analyse sociological theories, and determine their paradigmatic assumptions, including ontological and epistemological assumptions. Everything is fine when the educator independently develops the sociological idea, the author takes responsibility for the "theoretical scaffolding" he uses, and does not shirk responsibility by hiding behind the back of a "famous" sociologist. The most valuable, but very demanding way of using sociological knowledge by a pedagogue is the interdisciplinary ability to independently (although of course based on existing concepts and research results) of sociological thinking by the theorist of education. However, this requires creative mastery of sociology. We find such cases in scientific practice. You can also go without sociology at all, but then the subject of the study becomes an artefact, "preparation" wholly taken out of reality. You can also go without sociology at all, but then the subject of the study becomes an artefact, "preparation" wholly taken out of reality.
Religion from a sociological perspective – implications for pedagogical research
Authors: Prüfer Paweł
Published: October 2024

The sociology of religion is the part of sociology as the science of society. From the beginning of this discipline, interest in the phenomenon of religion has been very lively. Both the founders of sociology themselves and its most important representatives devoted their theoretical and empirical interests to it. Religion and society, religious experience, functionalism theory and religion - these are the main problems discussed in this article. The analysis covers the phenomenon of religion in general, and the sources of this interpretation are primarily studies important for this discipline, old, often classic, and contemporary. The research perspective is aimed at trying to articulate some elements that are also conducive to pedagogical research, especially regarding the problem of upbringing. The analysis often suggested educational, shaping and socializing aspects of religion.
Aware and unaware- stereotypes and gender scripts in family narratives in the process of education
Authors: Karkowska Magda
Published: October 2024

The aim of the article is to discuss the issues of shaping gender roles in children of early school age, taking into account the importance of stereotypes and gender scripts in this process.First of all, the basic concepts of roles, stereotypes and scripts referring to gender were presented, then I briefly reconstructed the basic assumptions of theories explaining the process of shaping a child's gender identity, in the second part of the considerations I discuss the most common patterns of female and male roles in Polish culture and present their relationships with the construction of identity, at the end I shared information on what behaviors should be avoided and how can we replace them so as not to disturb the formation of the child's ideas about functioning in gender roles. I am looking for answers to questions important from the research point of view: what role does communicative knowledge play in the process of shaping children's ideas about gender roles, and what role does conjunctive knowledge (experience) play? Is it possible to avoid stereotyping that comes from the dichotomy of gender roles in interactions with a child? How do images of gender roles become scripts? What is the significance of interference of messages from different environments (family, school, peer group) for the formation of a child's gender identity?Finally I emphasize the importance of both the narrative and dialogical character of education as a process of conscious influence on the formation of the child's ideas about gender roles (communicative knowledge), but also the broader impact of socialization processes, including intergenerational transmission (knowledge/conjuctive experience).

Adolescent dropouts’ functioning in relationships with parents and peers
Authors: Rzechowska Ewa
Published: October 2024

A qualitative case study analysis of 14-19-year old dropouts and their relationships with the parents and peers is performed to determine differences in their functioning. Generalizations are made based on the decision tree generated by Quinlan’s algorithm. Based on it, a model of the variant modes of adolescent dropouts’ functioning is constructed. The results of the study show the mechanism and genesis of the different modes of functioning of adolescent dropouts in relationships with their parents and peers: from the rejection of the parents and attempts to find safety among the peers to efforts to improve the self-image by manipulating parents and peers and attempts to tackle problems. By explaining the genesis and mechanisms of adolescent dropouts’ functioning, the model helps understand why they decide to discontinue education and the potential role of their parents and/or peers in creating more effective support programmes.

Authors: Anchundia-Bailón María Monserrate , Aguayo-Joza Johanna Melissa
Published: October 2024

En el Ecuador es un hecho que el municipio de cada localidad anualmente recaude un impuesto a las personas que tienen un predio catastrado sea de tipo rural o urbano y es obligación del contribuyente su posterior cumplimiento para el fortalecimiento del presupuesto municipal, el aumento y mejora del recaudo; y, la eficacia de los procesos de gestión administrativa-operativa. Bajo este enfoque, el objetivo de la presente investigación consistió en “Analizar la incidencia de la recaudación de impuestos prediales en el fortalecimiento económico del presupuesto municipal del cantón Rocafuerte, Ecuador 2023”. Con el propósito de cumplir el objetivo principal se desarrolló una metodología de tipo documental a través de la utilización de tesis de posgrados, artículos científicos y libros. En la metodología de campo, se empleó la técnica de la observación. Adicionalmente, en la fase cuantitativa se aplicaron encuestas dirigidas a los colaboradores de Rentas, Tesorería, Contabilidad y Presupuesto del Municipio. Por otro lado, para el tratamiento y análisis de los datos, se empleó el método descriptivo. Los resultados obtenidos se procesaron mediante la hoja de cálculo de Microsoft Excel. Se concluye que, para la Municipalidad de Rocafuerte, el impuesto predial en el período 2023 no cumplió la meta y se enmarcó en un nivel bajo de ingresos con un total de $189.377,26, representa el 42% del total esperado, la ineficacia del proceso se debe a que la entidad no mantiene un registro actualizado del catastro urbano y rural y no se realizan notificaciones individualizadas de pagos pendientes a los contribuyentes.

Background: Breast cancer is a complex and multistage process. Many natural compounds are available for an effective and efficient alternative method against breast cancer. This study focused on the anti-cancer activity of Argemone mexicana leaf extract on Dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA)-induced mammary tumors in experimental rats. Materials and Methods: Argemone mexicana Leaves (AML) were collected, extracted by soxhlet apparatus with methanol solvent, and analyzed by Gas Chromatography and Mass-Spectroscopy (GCMS). Healthy Female Sprague-Dawley rats (7-8 weeks and 100 ± 20 g) were divided in five groups and used to induce mammary tumors by DMBA [25 mg/kg/ Subcutaneous (s.c.)]. After developing a palpable nodule (10-12 weeks after DMBA), the rats were treated with AML extract [200 and 400 mg/kg/Body Weight (b.w.)] and Tamoxifen (TAM 10 mg/kg) orally for 12 weeks. Body weight, tumor weight and volume measurements, lipid peroxidation, antioxidant and tumor marker [Carcinoembryonic Antigen (CEA)] levels, and histological investigations were assessed. Results: Following AML treatment, there was a reduction in weight and volume (P< 0.01) of breast tumor, as well as a significant decrease in levels of lipid peroxidation and tumor marker CEA (P < 0.001) and improved Superoxide Dismutase (SOD), Reduced glutathione (GSH), and caspase levels (P < 0.001). In cytological results, AML improved the cellular architecture, and significant restoration in histopathological examinations revealed a tumor with minimal glandular epithelium proliferation, a decrease in mitotic figures, and nuclear alterations. Conclusion: The study suggests that AML extract has a chemoprotective effect against DMBA-induced mammary tumors in experimental animals, specifying its possibility as a therapeutic agent for breast cancer treatment.
Introduction
Authors: Pegg Carole
Published: October 2024

The Introduction outlines the project’s background and fieldwork sites, the histories, landscapes, and Indigenous peoples of the Altai, Khakassia and Tyva republics, and the musical and ontological scapes with which they sound emplacement. It introduces nomadic journeys in horizontal animist Middle Worlds (multiple dimensions of the Altai-Sayan and Greater Altai mountain-steppes), the sonic pathways of spiritual specialists in Upper and Lower landscapes of the shamanic universe, and the effects of state and global flows of UNESCO, the Russian State, World Music, and spiritual movements on shamanism and music in each republic. Finally, it outlines the relation of the book’s structure to the performance arena of participants, Indigenous inter-relations of throat-singing, timbral music, nature, and the intervention of spirit actors from all worlds, and theories of ontological musicality and sonicality.
Democracy for Sum
Authors: Susca Margot
Published: October 2024

This chapter focuses on commercialism of the different historical time periods dating back to colonial America, aiming to provide a contrast to the private investment fund commercialism we have today. These aforementioned eras are marked by different characteristics involving ownership and stability, distribution and technology, content and cost, relationship to audiences, economics, politics and partisanship, and the social conditions the newspapers both reflected and created at the time. Looking at profitability specifically, newspapers have generally been a good business, often concerned with commercialism but still motivated by a desire to inform in American democracy.
Amendment XXVII
Authors: Wohl Patrick
Published: October 2024

State Representative Penny Pullen is a deeply conservative legislator in Illinois. Having risen to the rank of assistant minority leader, Pullen becomes one of the main opponents to ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment in Illinois along with conservative icon Phyllis Schlafly. Chaos erupts in the Illinois state capitol; a legislator is bribed, pig’s blood is splattered on the marble floors, and protesters shackle themselves to the capitol doors. Ultimately, the ERA meets its final blow in Illinois. Pullen leads a group in song as the proposal fails once and for all.

Work and Space
Authors: Bruno Robert
Published: October 2024

Chapter 2 examines the space that workers occupy, work on, bring into being and transform. It reveals seven ways that workers come to understand their workspace. First, as a place of action where things get done. Second, as a site where workers authentically exist. Third, as a location to learn and apply skills. Fourth, as a site of enjoyment and reverence. Fifth, as a place of danger. Sixth, as an ideal-typical space. Finally, as a site that obscures. The chapter also addresses an inherent problem—“alienation”—that hinders workers’ ability to realize how their labor is manifested in the places they encounter. Finally, the chapter reveals a hidden subjectivity: every space bares the workers’ marks but leaves off their names.

In the late 1960s, Burrell was diagnosed with macular dystrophy. The condition slowly eroded his central vision and eventually left him legally blind. Yet it did not derail his efforts to found his advertising agency. By combining the ideals of the Black Power movement with his understanding of advertising, Burrell joined with business partner Emmett McBain to found Burrell-McBain Advertising in Chicago. Their first major client was the Philip Morris tobacco company, and they crafted a series of ads featuring an urbanized, African American version of the famed Marlboro Man trade character.
Framing Part I
Authors: Hohl Elizabeth
Published: October 2024

This essay offers perspective on the shift to contingent, non-tenure track or adjunct faculty hiring in higher education over three decades. Those teaching off the tenure track faced exploitive practices, official invisibility, and inadequate working conditions – underscoring a fundamental lack of respect for their labor. However, this transformation to a contingent faculty majority met resistance on the grassroots level and in professional associations like the Organization of American Historians. Despite seemingly intractable labor issues, this essay argues that comprehensive change can occur through collective action.
“Those Who Don’t Accept This Don’t Last Long”
Authors: Shermer Elizabeth Tandy
Published: October 2024

American higher education has historically reflected prevailing social norms, including constricted labor rights and limited public financing. Slavery and native lands seizures helped fund the first postsecondary schools. Gilded Age and later philanthropists pushed campuses to offer research and workforce training for industry needs, while forcing administrators to embrace their preferred business and labor practices. The impetus for labor rights and job security during mid-20th century also affected higher education (i.e., a growth in tenure). After World War II, elected officials expanded higher education financing, but campuses still depended on uncertain revenue sources, including tuition. The supposed “golden age” began to unravel when 1970s stagnation ushered in a new era of austerity, increasing student debt and further undermining faculty job security.
Why Faculty Casualization?
Authors: Berry Joe , Worthen Helena
Published: October 2024

Four problems faced mid-level managers in higher education as the neo-liberal contraction of the late 1970s took hold: A growing financial crisis, increasing enrollment uncertainty, rising faculty unionization and the unprecedented racial and gender diversity of the faculty labor pool. One solution addressed all four problems: casualization – the creation of a low-wage, poorly resourced contingent-majority faculty lacking power to fully exercise academic freedom in the classroom, the institution, or the public sphere. This chapter contextualizes casualization as the fourth of a series of transitions that have taken place in US higher education and predicts a fifth transition which may be led by the now-majority contingent faculty.
Graduate Student Labor, Contingency, and Power
Authors: Hatton Erin
Published: October 2024

Drawing from interviews with 20 former PhD students in the sciences, this chapter examines graduate student work as a form of contingent labor. Doing so requires rethinking the term “contingent.” Rather than defining contingent labor by (some of) its consequences for workers—i.e., economic instability—this essay defines it through the lens of power. Employers wield expansive power over contingent workers. This is true of graduate students in the sciences, whose work and working conditions are entirely contingent on their faculty advisors, even if their employment might be stable in the short term. Hatton analyzes four dimensions of the power dynamics that shape graduate student labor and ends with a call for new connections between seemingly dissimilar workers who all labor under expansive employer power.
America’s Brooklands
Authors: Ingrassia Brian M.
Published: October 2024

The Indianapolis Motor Speedway—modeled on England’s Brooklands automotive track—opened in 1909 with contests featuring balloons, motorcycles, automobiles, and aviation; later that year it was paved with 3.2 million bricks. This chapter shows that this innovative speedway was a place for entertainment and rational recreation, but it was also a place for demonstrating the annihilation of space. Around this time, a color line formed in motor racing, especially when famous Black boxer Jack Johnson was barred from the speedway and other drivers, including Louis Chevrolet, embraced what labor historians term the wages of whiteness.
Automotive Metropolis
Authors: Ingrassia Brian M.
Published: October 2024

When Indianapolis’s speedway was paved with brick in 1909, it foreshadowed an era when the good roads movement and professional urban planning reshaped America’s cities. After a 1913 flood and traction strike limited mobility, Indianapolis residents looked for new ways to get around their city and reshape urban space. This chapter focuses in part on landscape architect George Kessler, who helped to redesign early-1900s Indianapolis, as well as Hoosier authors Theodore Dreiser and Booth Tarkington, both of whom wrote books that explored the changing landscape of their home state.
