Published: May 2019

Abstract. This paper explores the application of real-time spatial information from urban transport systems to understand the outbreak, severity and spread of seasonal flu epidemics from a spatial perspective. We believe that combining travel data with epidemiological data will be the first step to develop a tool to predict future epidemics and to better understand the effects that these outbreaks have on societal functions over time. Real-time data-streams provide a powerful, yet underutilised tool when it comes to monitoring and detecting changes to the daily behaviour of inhabitants. In this paper, we describe and discuss the design of the geospatial project, in which we will draw upon data sources available from the Norwegian cities of Oslo and Bergen. Historical datasets from public transport and road traffic will serve as an initial indication of whether changes in daily transport patterns corresponds to seasonal flu data. It is expected that changes in daily transportation habits corresponds to swings in daily and weekly flu activity and that these differences can be measured through geostatistical analysis. Conceptually one could be able to monitor changes in human behaviour and activity in nearly true time by using indicators derived from outside the clinical health services. This type of more up-to-date and geographically precise information could contribute to earlier detection of flu outbreaks and serve as background for implementing tailor-made emergency response measures over the course of the outbreaks.

Published: May 2019

Abstract. As the recent disaster is so difficult to predict when and where it would hit, so it requires paradigm for disaster shifts from response to preparedness. In order to respond this change, NDMI has studied disaster scientific investigation (DSI) technologies for revealing systematically the root cause of disaster and protecting repetitive recurrence. The purpose of this study is to propose a convergence approach between data acquired from different types of sensors on a van-type investigation platform and UAVs of NDMI and assess their applicability for timely natural and man-made disaster mapping and monitoring. In order to evaluate its applicability for rapid disaster mapping, we pre-tested the proposed approach for NDMI site in Ulsan, Korea. For the enhancement of the direct geo-referencing accuracy of UAV imagery captured from on-board camera of DJI and the creation of more accurate map products, camera IOPs refinement and bundle adjustment were also performed with minimal GCPs. Finally, we conducted UAV data registration with LiDAR point clould for disaster mapping applications.
COMMUNITY-BASED NATIONWIDE CAPACITY BUILDING FOR GIS-BASED INTEGRATED FLOOD MANAGEMENT

Published: May 2019

Abstract. After the development of a flood action plan (FAP) in 1988, the Bangladesh government has led practical actions for nationwide flood management. However, Bangladesh is on its way to improve the capacity and knowledge of sustainable infrastructure and non-structural countermeasures. Local government and communities are also struggling to mitigate flood risk and severe damage. Therefore, a government-driven strategy of capacity building on sustainable flood risk management is an inevitable process to support local authorities’ responsibility under the leadership. This pilot study introduced the GIS-based integrated flood management (GiFM) for improving nationwide flood risk management at different levels from communities. First, we proposed the conceptual framework of GiFM to strengthen local government-based capacity focusing on a cost-effective way under the FAP. Then the proposed GiFM employed hydro-GIS geo-database and Earth Observation (EO) data for sharing information on the current flood risk situation including flood monitoring, forecasting and river embankment erosion in transboundary river basins. For flood risk reduction, the prototype of GiFM showed a good example of consultation and action plan to realize high-priority demands at all levels of multi-stakeholders, from decision makers to residents who are living in vulnerable low-lying floodplains of Bangladesh.

Abstract. Extreme rainfall with long-term period plays a principal role in triggering deep-seated landslide around the mountainous area. A well-known typhoon Morakot, the most destructive event occurred in August 2009, battered southern Taiwan and caused severe casualties in Siaolin Village. To reduce the damage and to prevent loss of life resulting from the catastrophic landslide, this study adopted high-resolution topographic data which extracted from airborne LiDAR scanning to interpret both recent and ancient deep-seated landslides in northern, central, and southern Taiwan. Firstly, a relief visualization technique called sky-view factor was utilized to generate the quasi-3D map by overlapping slope gradient, and multiple direction hillshading maps, allowing one to interpret manually detailed landslide topography and assess the hazard potential. The study area of the on-going project covers an area of 17,000 km2. This study recognized main scarp and landslide body in polygon pattern by landslide micro-topography interpretation; it showed more than 700 deep-seated landslides were mapped and located on Central Range and Western foothills in Taiwan. The spatial distribution of deep-seated landslide relates highly to the regional strike of formation, daylight at the toe, river-bank erosion, and drainage density. Additionally, the detrimental geomorphic and topographic features are extracted to evaluate the landslide activity in the future. For a landslide zonation which characterized with sharp scarp and greater deformation rate, it usually may represent higher failure susceptibility. This work also uses the 3-D terrain model created by drone photography and geomorphometric analysis to validate the expert-based landslide susceptibility. Furthermore, the result of the study will contribute updating the national-wide environmental geologic map and provide competent authority to make decisions reducing the geohazard risk.

Abstract. SAFETY is a two-years European project started the 1st January 2016 and ended the 1st January 2018. The general aim of the project was to develop a methodology and tools in order to exploit Sentinel-1 data for detecting and monitoring the activity state of geohazards (e.g. landslides, volcanic and subsidence) and evaluating their impact on built-up areas and infrastructure networks, at a regional scale. The products of the methodology must support Civil Protection Authorities (CPA) in the risk management activities at a regional scale. In this contest, a strong effort has been spent to generate products that must be operative: reliable and easily to read by users who are not familiar with radar data. The developed procedure is fast, periodically repeatable, and case-adaptable. The methodology, allows the full exploitation of Sentinel-1 constellation data (wide area coverage, high temporal repeatability, freely available data) making feasible long term monitoring plannings. Moreover a free software tool for the Sentinel-1 SAR data processing has been developed. This work presents the developed methodology, through some images of the most significant results obtained over the two test sites of the project (the Canary Island, in Spain, and the Volterra municipality, in Italy), and explains both the strengths and the main lessons learnt for the future steps.

Abstract. Wildfire is a cause of major disturbance to ecosystems and economies throughout the world. Hence, the wildfire is a vital issue of environment for creating natural disaster and socio-economic damage to affect in ecosystem and human lives. Moreover, the forest and steppe fire are one of natural risks in issues of Mongolian economy. This paper attempted to identify a spatial distribution of both risk and damage cost of the wildfire in Mongolia. The variables are to affect in the forest and steppe fire such as a biophysical parameters, field and statistical yearbook were integrated by climatic data to apply all into GIS application. These analyses are applied to the approach of decision-making support system, particularly as a Multi-Criteria Evaluation Analysis (MCEA). In addition, an evaluation of data could be divided into three group factors namely; environmental, social economic and fire damage including seventeen input parameters. These factors are based on important criteria and rank of the wildfire risk levels. All initial parameters were integrated into spatial model and used to estimate the wildfire risk index. This index was divided into five categories: very high, high, moderate, low and non-risk. Results show that a percentage of the study area was predicted by wildfire risk index in each category as follows. About 6–8 % of the study area identified as categories of the moderate and low risk; but 5–16 % of it was estimated as very high and high risk. In remaining category, 65 % of the study area was occupied as a maximum value in the non-risk. Moreover, these results demonstrated that a spatial distribution map of wildfire risk was predicted well including five categories for the study period. The integration of these factors in GIS could be useful to identify risk area and to make the strategy and prevention of wildfire hazard for the stakeholder, government and local of decision makers. Furthermore, it could be helped to improve the management of the forest, ecological and biodiversity conservation.

Published: May 2019

Abstract. The concept of accessibility that bases on continuing the flow of people, goods and services uninterruptedly is discussed as “maximum contact by minimum facility”. This concept which is related with the distance has been evaluated various criteria such as physical, economic, perceptual, temporal, etc. Several assignations (optimum location, minimum distance, best distribution method, etc.) have revealed the importance of gathering points in terms of proceeding the disaster management properly. The origin point of linking “accessibility” and “transportation network” is the mobility which reveals as accessing people to adequate gathering points and services in the shortest time. These gathering points which are determined due to the specific criteria and also referred to the social infrastructure areas have a vital importance when any disaster or emergencies occur; so the site selection, availability and accessibility of these areas become extremely significant. The aim of this study is to examine the accessibility of gathering points in Bayrakli district located in Izmir city by taking minimum standards and also some recommendations into consideration. The spatial analyses based on current and potential gathering points are carried out via ArcMap software. The current and potential gathering points in Bayrakli district are examined in terms of accessibility their capacity for each neighbourhood due to their spatial distribution. According to the results, each gathering points in neighbourhoods cannot be accessible in the shortest duration by walking and also the current urban pattern affects the capacity parameter regarding the accessibility and mobility significantly.

USE OF MULTIVARIATE MACHINE LEARNING ANALYSIS TECHNIQUES FOR FLOOD RISK PREVENTION
Authors: Vito D.
Published: May 2019

Abstract. Natural disasters such as flood are regarded to be caused by extreme weather conditions as well as changes in global and regional climate. The prediction of flood incoming is a key factor to ensure civil protection in case of emergency and to provide effective early warning system. The risk of flood is affected by several factors such as land use, meteorological events, hydrology and the topology of the land. Predict such a risk implies the use of data coming from different sources such satellite images, water basin levels, meteorological and GIS data, that nowadays are easily produced by the availability new satellite portals as SENTINEL and distributed sensor networks on the field. In order to have a comprehensive and accurate prediction of flood risk is essential to perform a selective and multivariate analyses among the different types of inputs. Multivariate Analysis refers to all statistical techniques that simultaneously analyse multiple variables. Among multivariate analyses, Machine learning to provide increasing levels of accuracy precision and efficiency by discovering patterns in large and heterogeneous input datasets. Basically, machine learning algorithms automatically acquire experience information from data. This is done by the process of learning, by which the algorithm can generalize beyond the examples given by training data in input. Machine learning is interesting for predictions because it adapts the resolution strategies to the features of the data. This peculiarity can be used to predict extreme from high variable data, as in the case of floods. This work propose strategies and case studies on the application on machine learning algorithms on floods events prediction. Particullarly the study will focus on the application of Support Vector Machines and Artificial Neural Networks on a multivariate set of data related to river Seveso, in order to propose a more general framework from the case study.

Abstract. In the proposed SAFEDAM system, aerial and satellite-based information is used for the monitoring of river bodies, flood monitoring during the event, and for post-disaster damage assessment. UAV constitute a valuable source of information about the current situation in the field during the operation of emergency services. Time is crucial, and the basic assumption to use UAV remote sensing data is to make them available immediately after landing. Therefore, the approach of automatic orthomosaics created based on the exterior orientation of the transmitted images using direct georeference was selected instead of sophisticated automatic on-the-fly image-matching and georeferencing. The article conveys the justification for selecting this option in order to process orthomosaics with lower localisation accuracy in a short time. The developed algorithm takes into account the elements of exterior and interior orientation of the camera as well as the digital terrain model. The evaluation of the orthomosaic was conducted based on theorthophoto created in post-processing. Thanks to the approach used, images from the platform are available in the near real time on the screen of the interventional mode of the SAFEDAM system and are an extremely valuable and informative source of data. The system also integrates tools, which support the management of the action and prepares site documentation.
An optimized multi agent-based modeling of smart rescue operation
Authors: Azimi S. , Delavar M. R. , Rajabifard A.
Published: May 2019

Abstract. After the incidence of a disaster, a high demand for first-aid and a huge number of injured will emerge at the affected areas. In this paper, the optimum allocation of the medical assistance to the injured according to a multi-criteria decision making is performed by Multiplicatively Weighted Network Voronoi Diagram (MWNVD). For consideration of the allocation of the injured in the affected area to the appropriate hospitals using the MWNVD and decreasing the gap between the estimated and expected population in the MWNVDs, Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) is applied to the MWNVDs. This paper proposes a multi agent-based modeling for incorporating the allocation of the medical supplies to the injured according to the generated Voronoi Diagrams of the PSO-MWNVD, wayfinding of emergency vehicles based on the minimum travel distance and time as well as using smart city facilities to expedite the rescue operation. In the proposed model, considering the priority of the injured for receiving the medical assistance, information transfer about the condition of the injured to the hospitals prior to ambulance arrival for providing appropriate treatment, updating of emergency vehicles route based on the blocked streets and etc. are optimized. The partial difference between the estimated and expected population for receiving the medical assistance in MWNVDs is computed as 37 %, while the PSO-MWNVD decreased the mentioned difference to 6 %. The relief operation time in the proposed model compared to another multi-agent rescue operation model, which uses MWNVD and does not have some facilities of the proposed model, is improved.
Materialismo e artefattualità. Una filosofia politica della materia
Authors: Sferrazza Papa Ernesto
Published: May 2019

In questo saggio analizzo l’idea del mondo come coesistenza di umani e cose, e sostengo che tale coesistenza debba essere considerate sotto la lente concettuale della responsabilità. Nei primi due paragrafi sostengo che l’esperienza umana è sempre mediata da un sistema di artefatti. Nel terzo e nel quarto paragrafo sintetizzo due differenti approcci filosofici, ossia la teoria degli artefatti e il metodo materialista, i quali condividono la tesi della performatività degli artefatti nella costituzione dell’esperienza umana. Nelle conclusioni mostro la rilevanza etica e politica di questa possibile ermeneutica materiale del mondo.
Methodism in the Royal Navy, 1740–1815
Authors: Pickering Andrew Nelson
Published: May 2019

The relationship between Methodism and the armed forces dates from the very early days of the movement. The Methodist soldier preachers of the eighteenth century have been the subject of considerable historical study; the navy has received much less attention. Owen Spencer Watkins recognized that evidence of Methodism in the Royal Navy ‘was at most very occasional. The result is that a most interesting chapter in the history of our Church is lost to us.’1 There is a paucity of material, certainly in comparison with the army; however, it is possible to give sufficient evidence of a thriving Methodist subculture in the Royal Navy during the Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars.

Lexical aspect and number variation in French Complex Event Nominals
Authors: Knittel Marie Laurence
Published: May 2019

In this work, we examine the factors allowing or disallowing French Complex Event Nominals (CENs, i.e. deverbal nominals displaying argument and aspectual structures, Grimshaw 1990) to occur in the plural when denoting a plurality of events. Our claim is that French CENs can occur in the plural in such cases (Meinschaefer 2005; Roodenburg 2006; Sleeman & Brito 2010), and thus behave as count nouns. However, a restricted subclass does not exhibit number variation, similarly to other non-count nouns.To account for the distribution of nominal plurality, we rely on lexical aspect. We show that the CENs that do not admit pluralization are strictly atelic: they nominalize strictly stative verbs or push-verbs (Verkuyl 1993). Conversely, CENs derived from any other aspectual verb class can appear in the plural, even when they nominalize atelic VPs, provided these also have a telic use. This leads to a restatement of the role of boundedness previously invoked to account for the relationship between verbal (a)telicity and nominal [±count] distinction (Bach 1976; Mourelatos 1978; Krifka 1989), that linked the [±count] property of the derived event nominal to the actual (a)telicity of the VP.Since the distribution of plural just described is proper to CENs, which have an internal verbal structure, we suggest that it deserves a syntactic analysis. Our hypothesis is that [–count] CENs derive from verbs that are deprived of AspQP (Borer 1993; 2005). This results in turn in the absence of ClP and NumP in the nominal layers. The absence of ClP accounts for the fact that [–count] CENs do not behave as regular mass nouns.
Drum drying of unpeeled green banana pulp (Musa cavendishii) for bake stable fruit filling production.

Published: May 2019

There is a growing interest in food matrixes for the use of flour from unpeeled green banana in order to reduce waste in the production chain. Considering this, the present paper aims to studying the application of unpeeled green banana flour in the cold process performed to obtain bake stable fruit filling. The unpeeled green banana pulp (Musa Cavendishii) was dried using a single rotating drum, thus obtaining the flour. The dried flour was then analyzed for its chemical composition, amylose and resistant starch content, water absorption capacity and pasting properties. The drying reduced the amount of resistant starch and produced pregelatinized starch. The obtained flour showed physical and nutritional characteristics which enabled the development of the filling formula by using a central composite design combining levels -1 and +1, two axial points (± α), two central points, and chemical composition, water activity, Brix, and texture as response variables. The amount defined by central-composite design of unpeeled green banana flour, modified starches and other ingredients resulted in an elastic, viscous, bake stable fruit filling.

Published: May 2019

Three hundred samples of coalho cheese, from 15 different brands, of which seven were handmade made and eight industrialized, were evaluated in relation to the contamination profile by Staphylococcus coagulase-positive and negative and the occurrence of staphylococcal enterotoxin encoding genes. Two hundred and eight isolates of Staphylococcus sp. were subjected to  phenotypic identification and 95 were subjected to genotypic identification through femA gene research and detection of genes (sea, seb, sec, sed, see, seg, seh, sei and sej) encoding enterotoxins, using the polymerase chain reaction technique (PCR).  A total of 14 species of Staphylococcus were identified, of which three were coagulase-positive and eleven negative, especially: S. aureus, S. xylosus, S. cohnni spp. cohnii, S. saprophyticus, S. epidermidis, S. hyicus, S. lentus, S. sciuri, S. cohnii spp. urealyticus, S. haemolyticus, S. chromogenes, S. lugdunensis, S. hominis e S. intermedius. In all the samples of handmade coalho cheese handmade there was a prevalence of S. aureus; while in the industrial samples S. xylosus (87.5%) and S. cohnii spp cohnii (50%) were predominant. The presence of the femA gene was detected in 95% (38/40) isolates of positive Staphylococcus coagulase and 16.4% (9/55) of coagulase-negative isolates. Among the enterotoxin encoding genes evaluated, there was prevalence of the seh gene (53.2%) in coagulase-positive strains and of the sec gene (46.8%) in coagulase-negative strains. The results suggest a re-evaluation of the Brazilian microbiological standards in relation to the genus Staphylococcus in foods.

O presente artigo tem como objetivo mostrar que a Escola Americana de Curitiba dirigida pelas missionárias Mary Dascomb e Elmira Kuhl fazia parte da rede de escolas organizadas pelo educador Horace Lane. As fontes analisadas sugerem que tais missionárias estavam subordinadas às orientações pedagógicas e supervisão da Escola Americana de São Paulo. Esta tornou-se a base para a compreensão de outras escolas americanas implantadas no Brasil durante a atuação de Horace Lane como diretor e supervisor da obra educacional da Igreja Presbiteriana norte-americana. Postulamos que Horace Lane formou uma rede de escolas, principalmente, em cidades que contavam com o apoio de maçons, republicanos, presbiterianos e de pessoas ligadas a sua rede de sociabilidade. No caso de Curitiba, a escola foi organizada por causa do núcleo presbiteriano organizado no ano de 1884 e por causa da relação do educador com as referidas missionárias. Como parte da rede de escolas, a Escola Americana de Curitiba, de confissão de fé presbiteriana, concorria com as escolas de outras denominações religiosas que compunham o campo educacional paranaense.* * *This article aims to show that the American School of Curitiba led by the missionaries Mary Dascomb and Elmira Kuhl was part of the network of schools organized by the educator Horace Lane. The sources analyzed suggest that these missionaries were subordinated to the pedagogical guidelines and supervision of the American School of São Paulo. This became the basis for the understanding of other American schools implanted in Brazil during the performance of Horace Lane as director and supervisor of the educational work of the North American Presbyterian Church. We postulate that Horace Lane formed a network of schools, mainly in cities that had the support of Masons, Republicans, Presbyterians and of people connected to its network of sociability. In the case of Curitiba, the school was organized because of the Presbyterian nucleus organized in the year 1884 and because of the educator's relationship with the said missionaries. As part of the school network, the American School of Curitiba, with a Presbyterian faith confession, competed with schools of other religious denominations that made up the educational field of Paraná.

O presente artigo trata do pensamento de Kant sobre a questão pedagógica. O objetivo consiste em apresentar o conceito de Iluminismo elaborado pelo intelectual e relacioná-lo com o seu pensamento no que diz respeito a educação. Para isso foram utilizados os ensaios: Resposta à pergunta: que é o Iluminismo e Sobre a Pedagogia. O primeiro é uma reflexão sobre o contexto social da Europa do século XVIII e suas consequências para a vida intelectual desse momento histórico. Já o segundo, trata-se de uma reunião de notas elaboradas por Kant e organizadas por seu discípulo Rink. Fortemente influenciadas por Rousseau, essas notas apresentam o pensamento kantiano por um longo período e destacam a questão da liberdade, do progresso e da autonomia a fim de educar um ser moral. A partir disso é possível perceber a influência daquilo que o autor entende como Iluminismo no processo de formação do homem, que para ele inicia desde muito cedo, quando a criança nasce, e se mantém até a juventude, sem um momento preciso para conclusão. Desse modo se torna evidente a atualidade do pensamento de Kant principalmente sobre o quão fundamental é aprender a pensar por si e assim fazer um bom uso da liberdade, caminhar para o progresso com fim na moralidade.  * * *This article discuss the Kant's thought regarding to the pedagogical question. The aim consist in show the concept of Enlightenment elaborated by the intellectual and relate to his thought about education. Therefore, was used the essays: An answer to the question: What is Enlightenment and On Pedagogy. The first is a reflection on the social context of eighteenth-century in Europe and its consequences for the intellectual life. The second, it is a combination of notes elaborated by Kant and organized by his disciple Rink. Strongly influenced by Rousseau, the notes are based on the thinking for a long period and priorize the question of freedom, the progress and the auton-omy of a moral being. From this, it is possible realize the influence of that what the author understand as Enlightenment during the process of humani-ty formation that for him begins when the children born, and keep during the youth, without a precise moment to the conclusion. In this way became evi-dent the currentness of Kant's thought, especially to show how fundamental is learn to think for oneself and thus make a good use of freedom, to walk to progress with finality on the morality.

Nos relatórios dos presidentes de província do Espírito Santo de 1833 a 1844, a instrução pública aparece junto da religião como pilar para a civilização, esta última carregada de sentidos como “hábitos polidos e apropriados”, “bom governo” e catolicismo. Isso se dava em virtude dessas autoridades escreverem em um contexto intelectual herdeiro do iluminismo lusitano, marcado por limitações ao cartesianismo e pela valorização da religião católica. Em alguns desses relatórios também estão registrados dados relativos ao quantitativo de alunos nas aulas de primeiras letras (ensino primário) e maiores (ensino secundário), além das remunerações dos professores. Esses dados foram contrastados com os discursos dos presidentes de província com objetivo de se comparar as ideias dessas autoridades sobre a instrução pública, referenciadas nos elementos do iluminismo português herdados pela intelectualidade brasileira nas primeiras décadas do século XIX, com a prática de seus governos para com a condução da instrução pública na província do Espírito Santo.* * *In reports of the presidents of the Espírito Santo province, from 1833 to 1844, public instruction appears with religion as a pillar for civiliza-tion, charged with meanings such as "polite and proper habits," "good gov-ernment," and Catholicism. This was due to the authorities writing in an in-tellectual context heir to the Lusitanian Enlightenment, marked by limita-tions to Cartesianism and valuation of the Catholic religion. Some of these reports also record data on the number of students in first-grade (primary) and higher classes (secondary), in addition to teachers' salaries. These data were contrasted with speeches of the provincial presidents in order to com-pare the ideas of these authorities on public education, referenced in the ele-ments of Portuguese enlightenment, inherited by Brazilian intelligentsia in the first decades of the nineteenth century, with the practice of their govern-ments towards the conduct of public instruction in the province of Espírito Santo.

Este texto apresenta uma discussão a partir da organização e da análise dos estudos realizados sobre Infância nos programas de Pós-Graduação em Educação no Brasil, no período de 1987 a 2005. Foram recolhidos os resumos de dissertações e teses disponibilizados no portal da Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES) que, após classificados, possibilitaram a separação do objeto específico para a análise, a saber: os trabalhos que discutem o conceito ou a história da infância. O objetivo da pesquisa é verificar qual é a metodologia utilizada nessas discussões e destacar sua relevância para a compreensão da história da infância no Brasil. Os resultados apontaram que a compreensão de infância está relacionada com a teoria que se adota como aporte teórico-metodológico para a realização dos estudos, que produzem diferentes concepções de história e também de infância.* * *This paper presents a discussion from the organization and the analysis of studies on Childhood in postgraduate programs in Education in Brazil, from 1987 to 2005.

Documento, interpretação e representação: os anos iniciais da Casa de Oração do Vale de Lágrimas, Vila de Minas Novas, 1754 / Document, interpretation and representation: the initial years of the Casa de Oração do Vale de Lágrimas, Vila de Minas Novas, 1754

Pretendo analisar um documento que retrata os anos iniciais da Casa de Oração do Vale de Lágrimas, uma instituição educativa feminina que existiu próxima à Vila de Minas Novas, na Capitania de Minas Gerais, no século XVIII. O documento analisado é considerado, até então, como o mais antigo da referida instituição: um ofício do Arcebispo da Bahia, D. José Botelho de Matos, enviado para Diogo de Mendonça Corte Real, datado de 1754. Neste ofício, o Arcebispo solicita a verificação da existência de um Recolhimento feminino no sertão da Capitania de Minas Gerais. No processo de verificação é possível encontrar informações acerca da primeira Regente da instituição, das demais habitantes da Casa e das práticas educativas desenvolvidas na instituição, bem como alguns detalhes da habitação, da religiosidade e do apoio da população local à sua manutenção. Observa-se que as práticas educativas tinham tanto um caráter devocional, como também preparavam as mulheres para o trabalho doméstico e o aprendizado da escrita e da leitura. Encontramos ainda as manobras discursivas da Regente, dos padres e da população local para informar que a instituição não era um Recolhimento e, assim, não passar para a supervisão do arcebispado baiano. O documento é compreendido enquanto uma representação de um determinado grupo com a intencionalidade de enganar o arcebispo e se manter distante das normas que mudariam o funcionamento da instituição.* * *I intend to analyze a document which depicts the initial years of the Casa de Oração do Vale de Lágrimas, an institution for women's education that existed next to the Vila de Minas Novas, in the Captaincy of Minas Gerais, during the XVIII century. The analyzed document is considered, until now, as the oldest on the institution: a craft of the Archbishop of Bahia, Mr. José Botelho de Matos, sent to Diogo de Mendonça Corte Real, dated 1754. In this craft, the Archbishop requests to verify the existence of a female safe house in the backcountry of the Captaincy of Minas Gerais. Over this verification process is possible to find information about the first Director from the institution, the other residents and their educational practices developed there, as well as some details of housing, religiousness e the support of the local population for its maintenance. It is observed that educational practices had both a devotional feature, and also prepared women for housework and learning to write and read. We even found the discursive maneuvers of the Director, the priests and the local population to inform that the institution was not a safe house and, therefore, do not pass the supervision to the archbishopric of Bahia. The document is understood as a representation of a particular group with the intend to deceive the archbishop and to keep distant from the norms that would change the behavior of the institution.

O texto que ora apresento é parte da minha pesquisa de doutorado que tem como objetivo analisar como essas elites locais legavam um patrimônio que está ligado a preceitos educativos aos membros de seu grupo familiar, mas também à sociedade, na intenção de aumentar, manter e perpetuar seus privilégios. Divido este texto em três partes onde tratarei, portanto, de algumas de minhas questões enquanto pesquisadora deste tema e período, bem como das metodologias que venho me aproximando na busca para estabelecer instrumentos capazes de dar conta das análises acerca dos fenômenos educativos relativos as elites da Capitania mineira. O primeiro desafio se apresenta na definição do próprio conceito de educação mais ampliado. Mas onde encontrar as informações para tais análises? Esse é o segundo desafio que trago hoje: as fontes. Muitas vezes, para o período abordado, não é possível escrever uma histórias da educação a partir de documentação dita oficial, produzida e/ou gerada pelo ato de educar. Por fim, entramos na terceira parte deste do texto, em que trago os conceitos analíticos como mais um obstáculo a ser enfrentado. Expondo alguns experiências e reflexões espero somar aos diálogos que buscam ajudar a responder questões muito caras, acredito que não só a minha, mas as pesquisas em história da educação na América Portuguesa de maneira geral.* * *The text I am presenting is part of my doctoral research whose purpose is to analyze how these local elites inherited an inheritance that is linked to educational precepts to the members of their family group, but also to society, with the intention of increasing, maintaining and perpetuating their privileges. I divide this text into three parts where I will deal with some of my questions as a researcher of this theme and period, as well as the methodologies that I have been approaching in the search to establish instruments capable of accounting for the analyzes of the educational phenomena related to the elites of Capitania de Minas Gerais. The first challenge is to define the concept of broader education itself. But where do you find the information for such analyzes? This is the second challenge I bring today: the sources. Often, for the period covered, it is not possible to write an education stories from so-called official documentation, produced and / or generated by the act of educating. Finally, we enter the third part of this text, in which I bring analytical concepts as another obstacle to be faced. Exposing some experiences and reflections I hope to add to the dialogues that seek to help answer very expensive issues, I believe not only mine but the researches in history of education in Portuguese America in general.
