CULTURAL-PSYCHOLOGICAL APPROACH TO THE STUDY OF RUSSIAN NATIONAL CHARACTER
Authors: Neronova Marina Yu. , Neronov Alexander V.
Published: November 2024

The article examines the problem of national character research in the humanities from Modern times to the present and analyzes the various approaches used by scientists to solve it. Based on the work carried out, the authors formulate a cultural and psychological approach to the study of national character and apply it to identify and disclose the basic features of the Russian national character
Purpose: to give an idea of the national character as an object of research in the humanities, to conduct a comparative analysis of various approaches to the knowledge of national character, to highlight the cultural and psychological approach and with its help to determine the main features of the Russian national character.
Method and methodology of the work: the method of comparative analysis and the phenomenological method were used.
Results: in the process of analyzing the discourse on national character in the humanities, the authors conclude that the main problem in revealing the phenomenon of national character is related to the subjective nature of the object of study itself, which leads to the emergence of many approaches, each of which is not able to give a complete and exhaustive idea of the object of study. Modern psychology also faces a similar problem in an effort to understand the character of a person. In psychology, an approach was identified that partially managed to overcome this problem. In it, the character is considered through the relationship of a person to various aspects of reality, while the human subject itself is placed "outside the brackets". The authors formulate a cultural and psychological approach combining a psychological approach with a cultural one and using it explore the basic features of the Russian national character.
 Scope of the results: The results obtained can be applied in the study of modern social and cultural processes related to national identification and used in the formation of the content of humanitarian courses in higher and secondary education.
PEDAGOGICAL ASPECTS OF V. FRANKL'S PARADOXICAL INTENTION: A METHOD FOR RELIEVING THE FEAR OF FAILURE
Authors: Andreeva Yu. V.
Published: November 2024

The novelty of pedagogical research consists in the identification and concretization of pedagogical techniques for relieving fear, identified based on the analysis of one of Victor Frankl's logotherapy techniques – paradoxical intention. For pedagogy, paradoxical intention is of particular scientific interest as a technique that contains a set of techniques for overcoming fear. Among them: the possibility of choice; irony; distancing; dialogue and grotesque. Paradoxical intention is considered by us not as a hidden psychological mechanism, but as a pedagogical technique that allows a person to regulate his emotional state, thinking and behavior. The use of the technique in the long term turns the above-mentioned techniques in to ways of self-help for the individual.

The philosophy of the economy. Moral Economics
Authors: Privalov Nikolay
Published: November 2024

The textbook systematically combines topical issues of methodological and philosophical foundations of economics, taking into account the achievements of classical political economy, the German historical school, institutionalism and non-economic disciplines (history, political science, sociology, cybernetics, biology, psychology, law, etc.). The main methodological principles of interdisciplinary communication are consistency, focus on achieving social balance and morality. The instruments of scientific research are adapted to the cultural traditions of Russia by taking into account the institutional factors affecting the economy. Russian Russian cosmism The concept of philosophy of economy presented in the textbook (philosophy of the third way, or moral and religious neo-institutionalism) is in line with the tradition of Russian existentialism (Russian cosmism). The traditions of the university textbook are complemented by elements of monographic research, in particular, on the creation of a new model of man — the "traditional man" (homo traditium). The paper attempts to return to the roots of classical economic theories — the works of ancient Greek authors, A. Smith, A. Marshall and others, who combined their scientific methodological principles with morality and other non-traditional disciplines for modern economic theory, for example biology.
Meets the requirements of the federal state educational standards of higher education of the latest generation.
It is intended for students studying economics and anyone interested in the problems of the modern economy and Russia's place in world geopolitics.
Development of Technologies for the Digital Design of Individualized Implants
Authors: Bayanov E. , Grif A. , Rustamyan Vyacheslav
Published: November 2024

In recent years, the transition to personalized medicine, which takes into account the individual anatomical features of patients, has become increasingly relevant. Data from computed tomography, digital design methods, and additive technologies are used to create three-dimensional models of patients' bone structures. These models allow for precise positioning and design of implants using specialized engineering software. Medical specialists formulate technical specifications and approve the resulting models. The article discusses the necessity of developing domestic information systems for joint implant design, considering the limited functionality of existing solutions and their dependence on foreign products. A mathematical model of the stress- strain state of an elastic body and a software complex for modeling, including a graphical user interface, are presented. The stages of creating a solid model from a surface representation, setting boundary conditions, and performing strength calculations using the finite element method are examined. Modeling examples demonstrate the use of developed methods for designing implants for craniotomy patients. The result is a system that improves the quality of medical services and the strength characteristics of implants through the implementation of digital design methods adapted to the individual anatomical features of each patient. Additionally, the application of Color Picking technology for interactive selection of model facets is considered, which enhances the accuracy of setting boundary conditions and optimizes the implant design processes

Jak wytwarzany jest slums? Studium przypadku mieszkańców Kibery i Korogocho w Nairobi
Authors: Chułek Magdalena
Published: November 2024

The book titled Jak wytwarzany jest slums? Studium przypadku mieszkańców Kibery i Korogocho w Nairobi (How is a slum created? A case study of Kibera and Korogocho inhabitants in Nairobi) was created on the basis of in-depth field research in Kenya. It is a proposal of an anthropological view on the so-called slums, which connects the theory with ethnographical practice. The author questions dominant – informal and scientific – discourses on slums. On the one hand, she points to the fact that slums are an example of broader global phenomena which create particular conditions for their coming into being and functioning. On the other hand, through specific case studies, she gives an insight into demeanour and modes of action of particular inhabitants. Such a combination of top-down discourses and structure with bottom-up practices and individual experience of slum dwellers reflects the division of the book into two parts – Genealogies: how did a slum become a slum? and Morphologies: practicing structures of a slum. Genealogies tell us about the processes of creation of slums as an area and a kind of a „brand” as well as their sanctioning through linguistic practices. Morphologies, on the other hand, present various strategies adopted by the participants of life in slums in their daily life – from their methods of making a living, to lynching thieves. As a result, this book presents the complexity of the world in which the inhabitants of slums are involved and which – on different levels – they co-create.

A Mathematical Programming Approach for Mongolia’s “The Four Strongest” Puzzle
Authors: Singh Bismark
Published: November 2024

We describe a mathematical programming approach to solve a recently proposed puzzle from Mongolia. This puzzle involves physically laying out toys of four legendary Mongolian animals in different orientations and positions within a box such that they fit. The author of the puzzle finds a solution by an exhaustive enumeration of the exponentially many possibilities and by employing a series of axiomatic assumptions. In the absence of the physical toys (and, thus, their true measurements), could we use operations research to help us? We present one such approach and several exercises that could be tasked in an introductory course on mathematical optimization. Classroom activities provide us a diverse set of solutions for some of these exercises.

Reducing Marketplace Interference Bias via Shadow Prices
Authors: Bright Ido , Delarue Arthur , Lobel Ilan
Published: November 2024

Marketplace companies rely heavily on experimentation when making changes to the design or operation of their platforms. The workhorse of experimentation is the randomized controlled trial (RCT), or A/B test, in which users are randomly assigned to treatment or control groups. However, marketplace interference causes the stable unit treatment value assumption to be violated, leading to bias in the standard RCT metric. In this work, we propose techniques for platforms to run standard RCTs and still obtain meaningful estimates despite the presence of marketplace interference. We specifically consider a generalized matching setting, in which the platform explicitly matches supply with demand via a linear programming algorithm. Our first proposal is for the platform to estimate the value of global treatment and global control via optimization. We prove that this approach is unbiased in the fluid limit. Our second proposal is to compare the average shadow price of the treatment and control groups rather than the total value accrued by each group. We prove that this technique corresponds to the correct first order approximation (in a Taylor series sense) of the value function of interest even in a finite-size system. We then use this result to prove that, under reasonable assumptions, our estimator is less biased than the RCT estimator. At the heart of our result is the idea that it is relatively easy to model interference in matching-driven marketplaces because, in such markets, the platform mediates the spillover.

De
velopment of a portable electronic nose based on eight metal oxide gas sensors and gas chromatography (GC) analysis for classification of a difference in coffee flower odors are reported. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) of arabica coffee (Coffea arabica Linnaeus) flowers before and after pollination were investigated. Principal component analysis (PCA) was performed for pattern recognition. The results showed that all metal oxide gas sensors exhibited sensitivity to odors of the coffee flower samples. PCA result showed good classification of coffee flower odors correctly corresponding to the samples before and after pollination. Based on GC analysis, it was found that pyrazine may be one of impact volatile organic compounds in arabica coffee flowers before pollination and amount of 2-methyl-1-butanol largely decreased after pollination. The pyrazine and 2-methyl-1-butanol may be used as a key compound for qualitative measurement using the electronics nose system with several advantages including rapid and accurate measurement, low cost and easy to use. We hope that this work will be useful for guidance on further studies of production of tea-like beverages using arabica coffee flowers.
Relational trauma: the impact on family relationships of maternal imprisonment
Authors: Mitchell Sophie
Published: November 2024

This article presents findings on the impact of maternal imprisonment on wider relationships within the family. Previous research has detailed the significant impact that maternal imprisonment may have on mothers and their children. Relational theory suggests that connections and relationships may be more important for women and that this has an impact on desistance and recovery. This article applies relational theory to the wider impacts of maternal imprisonment, presenting new findings on the intergenerational family impacts. This includes impacts on the mother-child relationship and older children (aged 13+), and mothers’ relationships with kinship carers, particularly grandmothers. The evidence presented shows how relationships within the family are often irreparably harmed by imprisonment and what can be termed ‘relational trauma’. Findings suggest that the significant impact that maternal imprisonment has on the wider family should be considered when sentencing mothers to custodial sentences.
investigación como estrategia de aprendizaje y mejora de la práctica docente en la formación inicial de maestros
Authors: Ayuste González Ana , Payà Montserrat
Published: November 2024

El tipo de conocimiento, activo y situado, que demandan escuelas y otras instituciones, requiere de profesionales que reflexionen, cuestionen e investiguen. El artículo estudia los sentidos que estudiantes de Educación Infantil, Primaria y Doble Titulación, profesorado tutor de Trabajo de Fin de Grado (TFG), de las universidades de Barcelona y Girona, y maestros en ejercicio, atribuyen a la investigación en la práctica educativa escolar, así como los obstáculos y oportunidades para promover la competencia investigadora durante la formación inicial. Se accedió a esta triple percepción a través de una investigación cualitativa de carácter evaluativo en la que se combinaron diferentes técnicas de recogida de información. Los resultados muestran la centralidad de la investigación para los procesos de mejora de la práctica educativa y desarrollo profesional, y que la formación inicial no garantiza su adquisición en grado óptimo. Si bien la realización del TFG se interpreta como la última oportunidad para aprender a investigar, y el estudio realizado ha mostrado que, tras concluirlo, los estudiantes consideran que han mejorado en la competencia, el nivel alcanzado dista todavía de ser el deseable. Para alcanzarlo, se sugiere formar en investigación desde un planteamiento transversal y se ofrecen dispositivos para facilitarlo.

Explaining the transition from forced to free labour in colonial Angola’s diamond mines
Authors: Dolan Leo
Published: November 2024

This paper examines the evolution of coercive labour institutions in Portuguese Africa through a detailed case study of Companhia de Diamantes de Angola (Diamang), one of the region’s most significant colonial enterprises. Utilising a theoretical economic model, the study delves into the persistence of these extractive practices and their eventual transformation into more inclusive, market-driven systems. By charting Diamang’s historical trajectory, the paper explores how this deeply entrenched system transitioned from coercive labour to a free-market system, catalysed by significant socio-political changes such as the abrupt independence of neighbouring countries, domestic unrest and international pressures. The model provides new insights into the historical dominance of coercive labour institutions and reveals how external shocks can precipitate rapid institutional change. Ultimately, this study enhances our understanding of colonial labour market dynamics and highlights the evolving nature of extractive practices within economic history, with specific reference to the understudied case of the Portuguese colonial empire.
Design method for continuous phase plate enabling wide-angle beam shaping
Authors: Tahara Hiroyuki , Yasui Toshifumi
Published: November 2024

A continuous phase plate (CPP) is a beam-shaping element characterized by a quasi-random continuous surface that robustly achieves the target far-field intensity distribution despite changes in incident light conditions. In this study, we present what we believe to be a novel optimization algorithm for designing CPPs. In each iteration step, the transmission directions of light rays are calculated using a rigorous formulation beyond the small-angle approximation. These transmission directions are then refined by solving the standard Monge-Ampère equation, ensuring that the 2D histogram better matches the target distribution. The updated height profile is obtained by solving the surface reconstruction problem with or without regularization concerning surface curvature and height variation. Our method enables the design of compact CPPs for wide-angle beam shaping with controlled manufacturability.
Design and Analysis of the Pentagonal segments for the CGST

Published: November 2024

Ring-segmented primary mirror is an important option for 8-meter Chinese Giant Solar Telescope (CGST). Conventional hexagonal segment are not suitable for ring segmentation, and petal segment has relatively weak interlocking property. According to the characteristics of ring primary mirror of CGST, a pentagon shaped segment is proposed, which combines the advantages of hexagonal segment and petal segment. Pentagonal segment have a good interlocking property, meanwhile, the primary mirror has a smooth profile and needs fewer types of segment surface shape. Segments arranging in a ring facilitates the adjustment of segments’ radial position relative to primary mirror, this kind of adjustment can compensate for the aberrations caused by conic constant error of segment surface, thereby reducing the requirements of segment fabrication precision.
Geomorfología de la isla de Cozumel, Quintana Roo, México
Authors: Quijada Mendoza Isaac , Zamorano Orozco José Juan
Published: November 2024

La isla de Cozumel, ubicada al sureste de México, en el Mar Caribe, presenta un paisaje sedimentario complejo y único. Este territorio insular de 482 km² se caracteriza por depresiones kársticas, vestigios arrecifales emergidos y lagunas costeras.
La investigación se centra en la elaboración cartografía geomorfológica detallada, destacando la importancia de comprender la tectónica y factores climáticos que influyen en su paisaje y dinámica kárstica.
La evolución geológica de Cozumel se remonta al Mesozoico, con procesos asociados al rifting. El Cretácico Superior y el Paleoceno son fases cruciales en la formación de la Placa del Caribe. Durante el Eoceno, la isla experimentó movimientos tectónicos complejos, ascendiendo gradualmente como un bloque de compresión.
La fluctuación del nivel del mar desde el Oligoceno hasta el Cuaternario y la movilidad de bloques de compresión permitieron la formación de falsos atolones y bancos de carbonato, formando el Sistema Arrecifal Mesoamericano.
La metodología de la investigación involucró la adquisición de datos LiDAR, imágenes satelitales y validación en campo. El mapa geomorfológico final destaca la complejidad del relieve de Cozumel, que incluye crestas arrecifales, plataformas, terrazas, lagunas costeras y minas a cielo abierto. De igual manera, se hace una tipología del litoral, identificando plataformas de abrasión, acantilados, costas arenosas y con bloques de tormenta.
La investigación no solo proporciona una herramienta cartográfica valiosa para la gestión del territorio, estudios ambientales y la comprensión de la evolución geológica y geomorfológica de Cozumel, sino también aporta una metodología que conjuga el uso de nuevas tecnologías con métodos tradicionales.

Venturing the Golden Indonesia 2045: Are Electricity and Broadband Development for Five Indonesian Priority Industries Impactful?
Authors: Djunaedi Arif Zeinfiki , Salman Kautsar Riza , Supriyanto Heri
Published: November 2024

This study aims to examine the impact of electricity and broadband development on the progress of five priority industries in Indonesia. Initial findings indicate a mismatch between policy expectations and their impacts. This research collected secondary data from 2010 to 2019, using a time series approach and bootstrapping 1000 times to strengthen and cover the weaknesses of the method and the short time span. The results reveal that the electronics sector has the greatest beneficial impact both partially and simultaneously from all external variables. Additionally, four industries, except the automotive sector, show the same impact. This report emphasizes the necessity of synergy between digitalization and electrification, asserting the inseparable integration of policies. The automotive sector has experienced significant growth over the past decade, but it has not been directly impacted by these policies. Conversely, the food industry is affected and has emerged as the largest output producer, while other sectors are considered to have growth potential, indicating the need for alternative infrastructure initiatives. This study is expected to provide insights to all stakeholders regarding the impact of government policies and how to maximize business benefits amid global challenges.
Síntesis Histórica y Marco Religioso de Tarteso
Authors: Satrústegui y Caruncho Rafael
Published: November 2024

Esta obra constituye un estudio de las fuentes directas e historiográficas de Tarteso. Los datos son empleados para reconstruir: a) una breve crónica de su pueblo, dividida en “Orígenes”, “Tarteso Clásico” y “Tarteso Postclásico”; y b) una estimación de sus creencias, mediante el análisis de las hierofanías presentes en su ámbito cultural y la aplicación del método de la Religión Comparada. En el curso de este segundo ejercicio, se presentan sendas hipótesis que enriquecen la mitología de las deidades de interés, estimulando el debate académico en torno a ellas.

Por otro lado, a partir de aquellas crónica y visión religiosa, resultó posible realizar algunas estimaciones desde el campo de la Antropología Jurídica. Las nuevas hipótesis más destacables, groso modo, pasan por plantear la existencia de un panteón presidido por una tríada, integrada por una deidad femenina de la abundancia (Astarté-Venus), una deidad masculina de la guerra (Melkart-Hércules) y otra solar de la soberanía ("Lugh-Sol"). Asimismo, en relación al particular ritual de amortización de Casas del Turuñuelo, se propone abordar la tanda final de sacrificios como un intento de prevenir los males asociados a los rituales de Evocatio, posiblemente practicados por las poblaciones proto-celtas del noroeste ibérico.
Soil mesofauna diversity in agricultural systems of Slovenia using the QBS index and its modifications
Authors: Naglič Vid , Šibanc Nataša , Grebenc Tine , Bertoncelj Irena
Published: November 2024

Soil mesofauna plays a key role in maintaining soil health by supporting the decomposition of organic matter, nutrient cycling and the maintenance of soil structure. In this study of Slovenian agricultural ecosystems, we used four modifications of the QBS index, a soil biological quality index based on soil mesofauna. We compared diversity in arable fields under different tillage intensities, a strawberry field and an orchard, managed with either organic or integrated pest management methods (IPM). The results show significant differences in the mesofaunal communities in the soil. Minimum tillage promoted higher biodiversity, especially of Collembola, compared to conventional tillage. In fruit production systems, the ratio of Collembola to Acarina differed from that of arable fields, skewing in favour of Collembola, possibly related to the use of copper-containing pesticides in organic orchards and systemic herbicides in IPM systems. The QBS index values for soil health varied considerably between systems. Only QBS modifications considering the abundances of organisms (QBS-ab and QBS-a) were able to distinguish between different system-management groups. This study provides insights into the limitations of the originally proposed QBS-ar index to discern the effects of farming intensity on the soil mesofaunal community. Results suggest that minimum tillage and organic management practices can promote healthier soil ecosystems, emphasizing the importance of sustainable soil management for the promotion of soil biodiversity. Future research should aim to incorporate a broader range of agricultural practices and assign fauna to a higher taxonomic rank to further explain the effects on soil mesofauna diversity.
Inactivity‐mediated molecular adaptations: Insights from a preclinical model of physical activity reduction
Authors: Meyer Alice , Kim Nicole , Nguyen Melissa , Misch Monica , Marmo Kevin , Dowd Jacob , Will Christian , Janosevic Milica , Stephenson Erin J.
Published: November 2024

Insufficient physical activity is associated with increased relative risk of cardiometabolic disease and is an independent risk factor for mortality. Experimentally reducing physical activity rapidly induces insulin resistance, impairs glucose handling, and drives metabolic inflexibility. These adaptations manifest during the early stages of physical inactivity, even when energy balance is maintained, suggesting that inactivity‐mediated metabolic reprogramming is an early event that precedes changes in body composition. To identify mechanisms that promote metabolic adaptations associated with physical inactivity, we developed a mouse model of physical activity reduction that permits the study of inactivity in animals prior to the onset of overt changes in body composition. Adult mice were randomized into three groups: an inactive control group (standard rodent housing), an active control group (treadmill running 5 d/week for 6‐weeks), and an activity reduction group (treadmill running for 4‐weeks, followed by 2‐weeks of inactivity). Transcriptional profiling of gastrocnemius muscle identified seven transcripts uniquely altered by physical activity reduction compared to the inactive and active control groups. Most identified transcripts had reported functions linked to bioenergetic adaptation. Future studies will provide deeper characterization of the function(s) of each the identified transcripts while also determining how inactivity affects transcriptional regulation in other tissues.
Tipping the scale: Effects of physical activity and body composition on cardiac parameters in postmenopausal females
Authors: Fischer Mads , Tamariz‐Ellemann Andrea , Egelund Jon , Rytter Nicolai , Hellsten Ylva , Gliemann Lasse
Published: November 2024

The risk of cardiovascular disease increases significantly after menopause. We sought to assess the impact of different activity levels on cardiac structure and function in postmenopausal women. We grouped age‐similar, postmenopausal women by self‐reported physical activity levels over two decades. The study involved 34 women (age 61 ± 1 years; 11 ± 2 postmenopausal years; body mass index 23 ± 3 kg/m2) categorized into three activity tiers: sedentary (SED; ≤1 h exercise weekly; n = 9); moderately active (MOD; ≥2 ≤6 h low/moderate intensity exercise weekly; n = 11) and highly active (HIGH; >4 h of moderate/high intensity exercise weekly; n = 14). Maximum oxygen uptake (VO2max) differed significantly (p < 0.05) between the groups (24.9 ± 5.8; 30.5 ± 5.8; 38.4 ± 4.4 mL O2/kg/min; SED, MOD and HIGH respectively). Conversely, there were no differences (p > 0.05) in height, Total fat‐free mass, body surface area or in echocardiographic measures of left ventricular (LV) morphology, systolic function, diastolic function and right ventricular function. Contrary to our hypothesis, these findings reveal that marked differences in activity level and VO2max are not reflected in measures of LV morphology or echocardiographic indicators of cardiac diastolic or systolic function in postmenopausal women of similar body size.
Sūrdās’ poetry in the community of Dādūpanth
Authors: Zrnic Biljana
Published: November 2024

The paper examines the poetic material ascribed to the 16th-century bhakti poet Sūrdās recorded in the community of Dādūpanth. Seven Dādūpanthī manuscripts predating CE 1700 contain a considerable amount of Sūr poems not included in the Bryant and Hawley 2015 critical edition of the Sūrsāgar. This paper aims to introduce the Dādūpanthī strand in the early Sūrdās tradition by focusing on the earliest extant and so far unedited Dādūpanthī manuscript composed in Rajasthan, MS Sharma 3190, dated CE 1615–1621. The compilation represents the second oldest collection at our disposal of Sūrdās’ poetry and has not been examined in previous studies on Sūrdās’ tradition. I discuss the manuscript families established according to their geographical provenance as presented by Gupta and Bryant and introduce the Dādūpanthī codices into the stream of transmission. The paper presents the peculiarities of the Sūr section in MS 3190, scribal alterations of the content, the editorial difficulties, the thematic predilection of pads, and the arrangement of poems compared to the division into aṅgs (thematic units). Sūrdās’ section in MS 3190 is observed in relationship with several other collections, including the two earliest exemplars of the Sarvāṅgī tradition (the Sarvāṅgī of Rajab and the Sarvāṅgī of Gopāldās). I compare Sūr pads in the two Sarvāṅgīs on the level of the amount, choice, and classification of poems. I end by presenting the sequence of pads in MS AMR 875, related to Sūr poems in MS 3190.
The ‘Orthodoxisation’ of the Ancient Indian Marriage by Bride Price (śulka). Insights into the Ārṣa and Āsura Forms of Marriage in and out of the Dharmaśāstric Tradition
Authors: Giudice Alessandro
Published: November 2024

Among the eight forms of marriage described by the Dharmaśāstric texts, two are strictly interrelated with each other, i.e., Ārṣa and Āsura, both linked to a metaphorical (by giving one or two pairs of oxen to the maiden’s father) or actual purchase of the bride (by exchanging wealth) and respectively considered legitimate (Ārṣa) and illegitimate (Āsura). This paper analyses the formation process of these two marriage forms, which derive from a previous – single and legitimate – marriage by bride price (śulka). The Dharmaśāstric theorisation of marriage rites represents a frame that does not correspond to what can be reconstructed of marriage from earlier Vedic texts, where marriage by purchase is described in positive terms. The split into Ārṣa and Āsura marriages, which took place in the Late Vedic period, can be interpreted as a Brahmanical attempt to orthodoxise marriage by purchase by substituting the bride price with a ritual gift (Ārṣa) and, at the same time, to condemn its oldest form by declaring it as illegitimate (Āsura). However, there is evidence from Dharmaśāstric and non-Dharmaśāstric (i.e., epic and Purāṇic) texts as well as – even though with minor relevance – from Megasthenes’ account of Ancient Indian marriage that the sale of daughters continued to be a practised custom and, despite the hermeneutical efforts of some passages (e.g., ĀpDh II, 13, 11), the Ārṣa marriage was actually felt as a purchase.

Building on Anders’ frustration with the “apocalypse blindness”, “laziness” and “indifference” of his contemporaries and his plea for an “apocalyptic passion,” this text sketches the contours of a thinking in and for ‘our’ end times – a time marked by destruction and the irretrievable loss of habitability on this planet. It first translates Anders’ notion of the end times into current debates about the Anthropocene, and then formulates three perspectives for such thinking in ‘our’ end times – the search for orientation, the spatio-temporal extension of responsibility, and the expansion of feelings in “the apocalyptic situation”.

A chamada para a edição 13 da Revista Projectare teve como tema-base Essa chamada reconhecia a constituição de campo de atuação esse campo como  aquele que, como enunciado comum, sustentava o projeto não só como dado estético, mas também ético-político. Por essa dimensão, entendia-se que  propostas projetuais que daí emergiam tendiam a ser mais compromissados com os tecidos físico-sociais envolvidos e que, por isso, perseguiam mais  processos do que produtos; contemplavam saberes e valores locais e punham em estado de crítica repertórios acadêmicos, científicos, eruditos (e midiáticos); bem como requereriam novos papéis de seus profissionais: de "intelecutais-criadores" a "mediadores-educadores" dispostos a colaborar em uma relação horizontal com outros sujeitos.
ENTRE TEORIAS PARA AS CIÊNCIAS DA CONSTRUÇÃO
Authors: Carolina Rosa
Published: November 2024

Este artigo analisa a evolução histórica da teorização da arquitetura, abordando aspectos determinantes para as presentes crises do campo intelectual e da praxis, as quais se encontram intrinsecamente relacionadas. O objetivo é desenvolver, sob uma perspectiva epistemológica, uma análise crítica da estruturação da arquitetura enquanto campo de conhecimento, destacando a incidência de fraturas epistêmicas estabelecidas em seu processo de disciplinarização. Por meio de uma revisão bibliográfica e da reconstrução lógico-interpretativa, são levantados condicionantes econômico-sociais, bem como pressupostos filosóficos que interferiram nesse processo. Sugere-se que essas fraturas promoveram um descolamento da teoria arquitetônica dos aspectos relativos à produção material, conduzindo a profissão a uma condição de crise teórica e posição de marginalidade no contexto geral de produção do ambiente construído. Conclui-se que, após dois séculos de crise, é chegado o momento de repensar a teoria em sua relação com a prática e, portanto, suas relações com a produção material e com a tecnologia.
ELA FALA, EU ESCUTO

O texto investiga a narrativa como perspectiva teórico-metodológica para os estudos urbanos, abordando o relato de quatro narradoras de territórios periféricos de Porto Alegre sobre suas experiências cotidianas na luta pelo comum. A ruptura do regime de autorização discursiva da cidade universalizada e heteropatriarcal é operada através da visibilização de prefigurações narrativas em um processo de escuta, em que se revelam aspectos do trabalho produtivo/reprodutivo, dos processos de espoliação da mulher, da experiência do devir-mulher e da mobilização de um corpo-território que configura a margem como espaço de abertura radical. A partir do reconhecimento de outros dizeres-cidade refletimos sobre condições de possibilidade para uma configuração urbana aberta, flexível e consonante com a lógica do comum como composição de forças, corpos, trajetórias e memórias em permanente disputa.
AÇÕES DA SOCIEDADE CIVIL NA PRESERVAÇÃO DO PATRIMÔNIO CULTURAL DE SÃO LUIZ DO PARAITINGA APÓS A INUNDAÇÃO
Authors: Monteiro Ferraz Beatriz , Rossinetti Rufinoni Manoela
Published: November 2024

O artigo tece considerações sobre a atuação da sociedade civil na salvaguarda do patrimônio cultural de São Luiz do Paraitinga (SP), a partir da sistematização e análise de iniciativas preservacionistas promovidas entre 2010, data da grande inundação que assolou a cidade, e 2023. Considerando a importância do engajamento da população local nas diversas etapas do processo de patrimonialização, bem como a premência de construirmos estratégias de preservação frente aos desafios impostos pelas mudanças climáticas, neste artigo analisamos um conjunto de ações de preservação que partiram e/ou partem de projetos participativos ou da própria sociedade civil, com o objetivo de compreender suas origens, objetivos e formatos. Na sequência, buscamos verificar as narrativas que tais iniciativas ensejam e em que medida dialogam com as ações governamentais voltadas à preservação do patrimônio cultural local, empreendidas pelas instâncias municipal, estadual e federal.

ESTAÇÕES FERROVIÁRIAS E CEMITÉRIOS
Authors: Santos João Vitor dos Santos e , Comerlato Fabiana
Published: November 2024

O presente artigo tem por objetivo analisar as estações ferroviárias e os cemitérios das cidades de Cachoeira e São Félix, buscando compreender as necrópoles, enquanto vestígios remanescentes relacionados com a história ferroviária da região do Recôncavo da Bahia. As ferrovias marcam uma época de crescimento econômico e do auge do trem como principal meio de transporte, conectando a região portuária às áreas produtoras do interior. A implantação da ferrovia mobilizou o deslocamento de pessoas, nacionais e estrangeiras, levando ao crescimento das cidades e vilas ao longo dos caminhos de ferro e das estações, além de introduzir novas mudanças na mentalidade e no modo de viver das comunidades locais. A pesquisa compreende a leitura desses espaços pela perspectiva teórico-metodológica da Arqueologia Industrial e dos Estudos Cemiteriais. A metodologia incluiu pesquisa bibliográfica, análises de fontes imagéticas e mapas, visitas a campo e análise e descrição da estrutura arquitetônica das estações ferroviárias. A partir dos resultados, é possível concluir que os cemitérios fizeram parte da modernização das cidades que passaram pelo processo de industrialização; nota-se também que as estações da Estrada de Ferro Central da Bahia e os cemitérios compartilham entre si a presença marcante de uma materialidade de matriz industrial que traz para as cidades de economia rural marcas e dispositivos da modernidade.
MEMÓRIAS DE UM FEIRANTE
Authors: de Oliveira Grechoniak José Alberto , Da Costa Ana Elísia
Published: November 2024

Tendo como marco teórico reflexões que reconhecem a cultura como um campo de disputas e que buscam construir uma política democrática do patrimônio, o trabalho revisita a história do Mercado Público de Lages, a partir do relato do filho de um ex-feirante. A adoção desse objeto de estudo se justifica pelo fato desse Mercado ter sido alvo de uma recente revitalização que se centrou nos aspectos físicos do edifício e apagou memórias dos que lá trabalharam. Com uma abordagem exploratória-qualitativa, objetiva-se analisar o referido relato e avaliar sua potencialidade para recompor uma memória-outra ou não hegemônica do Mercado, vindo a subsidiar novas pesquisas. Dividido em três partes, o trabalho apresenta o “contador de histórias”; descreve o mercado como “lugar” e “espaço”, revelando personagens, modos de trabalho e de sociabilização e fatos da luta de classe; e aborda traumas vividos na interdição e requalificação do edifício. Conclui-se que o Mercado suporta não uma história, mas histórias, devendo converter-se em um novo campo de investigação. Espera-se, com isso, dar sentidos mais amplos ao restrito espaço edificado, assegurar o direito à cidadania cultural e prospectar futuros mais democráticos na gestão patrimonial de Lages.
