Endostructural assessment of a hominin maxillary molar (StW 669) from Milner Hall, Sterkfontein, South Africa
Authors: Mataboge Bontle , Beaudet Amélie , Heaton Jason L. , Pickering Travis R. , Stratford Dominic
Published: September 2019

The site of the Sterkfontein Caves, South Africa, is one of the richest early hominin fossil-bearing sites in Africa. Recent excavations in the Milner Hall locality have contributed to the discovery of new hominin specimens, including StW 669, a right permanent maxillary first molar (M1). StW 669 was excavated from the T1 deposits, which consist of a mixture of sediments from Members 2 and 5 of the Sterkfontein Formation. Accordingly, the deposits have the potential to contain remains of Australopithecus, Paranthropus and Homo. In this study, we employed micro-focus X-ray tomography in order to assess dental tissue proportions, enamel thickness distribution and enamel-dentine junction morphology as approaches to investigate the taxonomy of StW 669. We compare our results to those generated on the teeth of Australopithecus africanus, Paranthropus robustus, Homo erectus, Homo antecessor, Homo neanderthalensis and Homo sapiens. Our results suggest that StW 669 shares quantitative and qualitative affinities with M1s of Homo in terms of tissue proportions (i.e. two- and three-dimensional average and relative enamel thickness of 1.2–1.3 mm and 18.4, respectively) and enamel thickness distribution (i.e. thickest enamel on the lingual aspect of the protocone). However, data on the enamel-dentine junction morphology of StW 669 are inconclusive as to the tooth’s taxonomic affinities. Pending additional morphometric analyses, our studies of inner morphology of the crown of StW 669 support its attribution to Homo.

Significance:

The Sterkfontein Caves have contributed significantly to our understanding of early human evolution and continue to do so. This study highlights the specific value of the Milner Hall locality as a valuable store of hominin fossils. Moreover, we tentatively clarify the enigmatic taxonomic status of StW 669, a right permanent maxillary first molar, excavated from the T1 deposit of Milner Hall. Pending additional morphometric evidence, our preliminary data on tissue proportions, enamel thickness distribution and enamel-dentine junction morphology, suggest an attribution of StW 669 to early Homo. This result is significant given the historical contention concerning the presence of early Homo at Sterkfontein.
Academic Dishonesty among College Students: Academic Motivation vs Contextual Factors
Authors: Shmeleva Evgeniia , Semenova Tatiana
Published: September 2019

Academic dishonesty among college students is often associated with low academic motivation, which has been confirmed by multiple international findings. However, the role of academic motivation may be overestimated, as such studies do not normally control for contextual factors such as faculty and peer behavior. This study utilized the theoretical framework of Eric M. Anderman and Tamera B.Murdock to identify the factors of academic dishonesty and the self-determination theory of Edward L. Deci and Richard M. Ryan to measure academic motivation. Longitudinal data on students of four Russian universities participating in the Project 5–100 (N= 914) is used to measure the ability of academic motivation to predict academic cheating and plagiarism rates while controlling for contextual factors. Regression analysis shows that learning motivation becomes insignificant as a predictor as soon as perceived consequences and peer effects come into play. The best predictor of both plagiarism and cheating is students’ perception of contextual factors, i. e. perceived prevalence of relevant behaviors among peers. Unlike with cheating, plagiarism rates are not contingent on the probability of punishment.

Authors: SUBBOTIN Oleg S.
Published: September 2019

The main objective of the presented scientific research is to identify the patterns of historical continuity of the development of the settlements of Kuban. The object of the study are urban and rural settlements. The subject of research is the functional and aesthetic principles of the formation of the living environment of residential areas of populated areas in the designated period. The choice of the object and subject is due to the current problematic situation for the preservation and development of the historical centers of the Kuban settlements, due to the high degree of urbanization of these centers, which sometimes leads to the absence of functional logical connectivity and accompanying environmental degradation. The main tasks are the systematization and study of historical materials on the architectural organization of settlements, namely the processes of their origin, formation and development in chronological order with reference to modern socio-economic conditions. The fundamental role is played by the study of historical and cultural values of objects of architecture and urban planning and the potential of their possible use in the formation of habitat. Especially important in this case is the definition of town planning, architectural planning and architectural-artistic features of the spatial organization of the living environment. This is a peculiar vector of further development and improvement of this environment, as an integral functional aesthetic system, contributing to the improvement of living standards, as well as economic, social and environmental safety of the population. The research method includes the study of archival documents, scientific literature on the history of the Kuban, the history of architecture and urban planning; field studies and fixation of monuments of historical and cultural heritage of these settlements. The study used a comparative historical method of cognition - a scientific method that reveals, by comparing the general and the particular in the development of settlements of the Kuban in a certain time period, and formal logical research methods - methods of classification, generalization and typology, inductive and deductive research methods, making it possible to identify differences and identify identical in the history of the development of architectural and urban culture of the settlements under consideration. The study made it possible to conclude that the tradition bears, above all, the character of historical continuity - the preservation, dissemination and development of the national culture, education of respect for the architectural and town planning heritage.

Authors: PIDODNYA Maria
Published: September 2019

Two modern large scale city planning projects are considered using a comparative analysis method - master plans for two sites for mixed functional use: one in the city of Sochi, the Russian Federation, and the second in the Zayudas area near Amsterdam, the Netherlands. The author outlines innovative principles in the design of the site in Sochi as part of the former infrastructure of the Olympic Games with tasks in three main blocks: development, mobility and energy supply to obtain the maximum result - a modern, sustainable, high density and att ractive area. In the Zayudas area, the tasks of urban planning of a high density area concentrated on a transport hub were completed. Monitoring the sustainability of the area includes the following seven areas: mobility, public spaces, development and food supply, energy, waste management and circularity, water and greenery, society. An att empt has been made to form an image of an important international top platform for entrepreneurs and knowledge intensive institutions, which makes it possible to count on the dissemination of this design experience. The results of testing in the process of implementing the Zayudas district show the possibility of using the proposed European practices of urban planning in the Russian context.
Humanitarian Assistance of Italy to Ukraine in 2014-2018 рр.
Authors: Sukhobokova Olga
Published: September 2019

The article deals with the provision of humanitarian aid to Ukraine by the government and society (citizens) of Italy during the period of Russian armed aggression against Ukraine (2014-2018). Among them are the efforts of the large Ukrainian community in Italy (according to official figures in Italy, there are more than 230 thousand Ukrainians registered). The directions, volumes and methods of relief assistance for Ukrainian military and population in war-affected areas in eastern Ukraine and settlers were analyzed. It was determined that government financial assistance (over 3 million euros was allocated for 2014-2018) during this period came through international humanitarian organizations, which deal with the civilian people affected by the armed conflict and the program of demining of ukrainian territories.

The Ukrainian community in Italy provides individual assistance (from individuals) and from organizations (for example, the Congress of Ukrainians in Italy, “EuroMaydan-Rome” and others). Ukrainian communities of entire cities and regions may be involved in collecting a large sum (the most active are Ukrainians in Rome, Brescia, Milan, Naples).Mostly Ukrainians provided cars for units of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and volunteer groups in the area of fighting, equipment, clothes and funds for the needs of Ukrainian defenders, as well as food and gifts for them to holidays, organized humanitarian cargoes for the victims of the war of the population. At the same time, the Ukrainian community in Italy tried to hold public information events in support of Ukraine in the early years of the Russian-Ukrainian War and inform the Italian society and authorities about the events in it.The third source of humanitarian aid for Ukraine in Italy is Italian voluntary associations such as “Italy-Ukraine-Maidan”, which independently delivers the largest humanitarian cargo to the east of Ukraine.

Italy’s assistance to Ukraine is considered in the context of the socio-political processes and the foreign policy line of the Italian government. It is determined how the traditional strong ties between Italy and Russia affect for the attitude and assistance to Ukraine.
Wilderness in the Environmental Policy of the European Union
Authors: Perga Tetiana
Published: September 2019

The article explores the reasons, directions and stages of the wildlife conservation activities which is an important direction of European environmental policy. Author examines the essence of the concept “wilderness” which is used in the official documents of the European Union and EU member states. It has concluded that wilderness is understood as a territory regulated by natural processes, consisting of natural habitats and species, sufficient for the effective ecological functioning of natural processes; it is unchanged or slightly modified and does not undergo changes from the side people, settlements, and infrastructure; its landscape has not undergone any visual changes. The policy of the EU member states concerning the formation of the relevant legislation and practical steps for the creation of protected areas of wildlife are analyzed. It was found that unlike the USA, where in the late nineteenth century the protection of wildlife has stimulated the development of environmental policy, in European Union activities in this area began to develop in the last third of the twentieth century. It was seen as one of the directions of biodiversity conservation within the framework of the regional environmental protection policy. The author concluded that the peculiarity of the European wildlife protection model is the formation of strategic guidelines and development them by the member states in accordance with their national specifics. This leads to a variety of approaches to activities in this the protection of the wildlife. The main disadvantages of the Ukrainian legislation on wildlife conservation as well as problems for its development are revealed. The article state that at the moment, Ukraine has done the first step in the wildlife protection – in 2017, the Law on the protection of virgin forests was adopted. It is concluded that Ukraine’s move to European integration requires not only the adaptation of the national environmental legislation to EU legal norms but also the development of wildlife conservation activities as an important direction of environmental policy.
Migration Policy of the European Union on the Countries of Northern Africa
Authors: Sviashchenko Zinaida
Published: September 2019

The article is devoted to the actual issues of the European Union migration policy with regard to the countries of North Africa. Indeed, the intensive migration movement that has recently taken place in Europe has forced the EU to develop a new, adequate migration policy that would be able to effectively address the problems encountered in this area. The reasons and the current state of migration processes are investigated. The main directions and areas of regulation of migration processes in the European Union concerning the countries of North Africa are highlighted. In particular, attention is drawn to such an important direction of the EU migration policy as the fight against illegal migration. The main problems of regulation of migration processes, in particular, labor migrants and refugees, are outlined. The substantial quantitative and qualitative changes that have taken place in the migration processes from the countries of North Africa to Europe have been analyzed. The general economic consequences of migration from the countries of North Africa for donor countries and recipient countries are described. Attention is drawn to the issue of professional training of Africans for further employment in the EU. It is concluded that migration in the EU countries plays a special role due to the aging of the population in European countries and the need to attract labor from third countries. Migration flows between the countries of North Africa and the EU are particularly intense. This is due to the geographical proximity of these regions, as well as close economic, political and cultural ties. Among the priority areas of the EU migration policy, such as border management and the return of illegal migrants to their homeland, convergence of Member States practice in strengthening the common European regime, sharing responsibilities and ensuring the acceptance of refugees with their further resettlement among EU member states.
Sposób rozumienia czasu przez gimnazjalistów lubelskich

Published: September 2019

Celem niniejszego artykułu jest przedstawienie sposobu rozumienia czasu przez młodzież gimnazjalną. Podstawę badań stanowią wypowiedzi ankietowe lubelskich piętnastolatków dotyczące tytułowego zagadnienia. Pracę dzielę na trzy części – rozpoczynam od przybliżenia pojęć: rozumienie oraz czas, opierając się na literaturze z zakresu filozofii, pedagogiki, psychologii, językoznawstwa. W części centralnej stwierdzam, iż respondenci na ogół posiadają negatywne skojarzenia z omawianą w szkicu kategorią, są świadomi jej ulotności i przemijalności, co znajduje wyraz w tworzonych przez nich – najczęściej poprawnych – definicjach. Ostatnią część stanowi przedstawienie pogłębionego rozumienia czasu. Analizuję w niej rozprawki na temat: Czas płynie niezależnie od nas, ale sposób jego zagospodarowania zależy już od każdego człowieka. Uczniowie powołują się w nich głównie na osobiste doświadczenia i przemyślenia, argumenty dotyczące literatury stanowią zdecydowaną mniejszość.
Niemodlitewne modlitwy Krasińskiego
Authors: Szafarska-Kowalczyk Agnieszka
Published: September 2019

Przedmiotem pracy Niemodlitewne modlitwy Krasińskiego jest grupa utworów poety które, mimo że spełniają cechy strukturalne tego gatunku, w rzeczywistości modlitwami nie są. Mamy tu bowiem do czynienia z użyciem tej formy literackiej do innych celów. I tak np. Daj jej o Panie… to z jednej strony swoisty instruktarz dla ukochanej, jak postępować w trudnych biograficznie sytuacjach, a z drugiej strony traktat filozoficzno-religijny. Boże, wysłuchaj modlitwę moją serdeczną… to z kolei klasyczny erotyk kierowany do Joanny Bobrowej. O Boże, błogosław tym… to natomiast swego rodzaju gest kurtuazyjnej wdzięczności wobec rodziny Ankwiczów, połączony z osobistą i dość oryginalną fantazją o końcu świata. Artykuł ten ujawnia zarówno świadomość genologiczną Krasińskiego w zakresie modlitwy poetyckiej, jak też jego postawę religijną.
Exodus i boska androgynia. O inicjacyjnym wygnaniu i powrotach w dramacie „Eros i Psyche” Jerzego Żuławskiego
Authors: Borkowiak Ewa
Published: September 2019

Artykuł jest próbą odczytania sensów utworu na płaszczyźnie ukonstytuowanej w sferze sacrum. Punktem wyjścia prowadzonych analiz jest ukazanie swoistej mityzacji eschatologicznej, jakiej dokonuje w swoim dziele Jerzy Żuławski. Poprzez zagadnienia historii, czasu, anamnezy i kosmogonii autor Erosa i Psyche przedstawia powszechne pragnienie odzyskania bezpowrotnie utraconego idealnego porządku istnienia (renovatio). Obok soteriologicznej nadziei wyrażonej w zakończeniu dramatu istotne jest także odkrycie jeszcze głębszej tęsknoty, która rządzi sferą ludzkiej wyobraźni. Jest nią oddająca idee doskonałej jedności boska androgyniczność.

A digital inclusion
Authors: Walton Peter
Published: September 2019

Digital technologies now pervade every aspect of modern Australian society. Almost every aspect of how we live, work and play – from getting an education, accessing health care, communicating with friends to getting a job – is influenced by digital technology. In this era of rapid change, the trajectory of economic development, our future prosperity and our ambitions to be a socially inclusive nation will all be influenced by the increasing growth and reliance on digital technologies as a part of everyday life. Digital inclusion (and equality) is increasingly becoming one of the major social justice challenges of our time. Digital inclusion is vital to employment participation, economic development, educational achievement, social and civic inclusion, health and wellbeing.

Many people continue to be digitally excluded in Australia and, importantly, as technology changes there is a growing risk of a participation gap in terms of a person’s ability to engage with technology. At present, the response to such a major issue in Australia is fragmented and only occasionally addressed holistically. Comprehensive national research on this issue is limited, the longer-term costs of digital exclusion have not been fully explored, nor do we have a national plan to mobilise a whole of community effort that ensures that all Australians have the skills and opportunity to benefit from digital citizenship.

The purpose of this paper is to explore the current needs, challenges and benefits of digital inclusion in Australia. It explores how the concept of inclusion is evolving with changes in technology and to social structures. This article is a précis of a White Paper commissioned by Telstra. The aim is to advance our understanding of digital inclusion and introduce a more refined conceptual framework for defining and addressing digital equality.
Getting some reality into debates about NBN FTTP
Authors: Eckermann Robin
Published: September 2019

Sentiment about fibre-to-the-premises (FTTP) runs hot in Australia, fuelled by the NBN initiative for Australia's next generation of broadband.  Unfortunately most of the debate is ill-informed, focusing on plumbing rather than the uses to which the network may be put. The base of users subscribing to the higher speeds made possible by FTTP is limited right now, and much of their communication will be speed-limited by constraints outside of the NBN FTTP segment.  In addition, a growing proportion of Australians choose to operate entirely on mobile connections.  For all these reasons, the number of users who would benefit from FTTP in the short term is modest.

The Coalition has proposed greater use of existing infrastructure – in particular, using fibre-to-the-node (FTTN)/DSL technology and potentially hybrid-fibre-coax (HFC) technology – to deliver an upgrade earlier and at lower cost.  In the face of cost pressures, it is likely that the original 93% FTTP target would be adjusted with greater use of wireless and satellite technologies in rural areas and the use of copper for the final link in multi-dwelling complexes.  More generally, there is no question that FTTN/DSL solutions can deliver good quality broadband, but further work will be needed to determine where this can be done cost-effectively.  Similarly, with appropriate upgrades, HFC networks can deliver next-generation broadband speeds.  When practical factors are taken into consideration, the gap between Labor and Coalition plans closes somewhat.

Developing the best strategy for Australia needs to take cost into consideration, and there is scope for NBN Co to improve its performance in this area.  Any major cost blowout would have significant ramifications for broadband users and use in Australia.  If the rollout of FTTP is scaled back, users with a need may still get access on a user-pays principle – though the practicality of this has yet to be demonstrated.  Widespread FTTP remains the right long-term goal for Australia, but the approach for getting there needs to be finessed.

Farm Environment During Pregnancy and Childhood and Polysensitization at the Age of 31: Prospective Birth Cohort Study in Finland
Authors: Karvonen AM , Lampi J , Keski-Nisula L , Auvinen J , Toppila-Salmi S , Järvelin M , Pekkanen J
Published: September 2019

Background: The farm environment, especially contact with farm animals in early childhood, may prevent allergic sensitization during adulthood. However, prospective associations between exposure to the farm environment and polysensitization have not been studied. Polysensitization is a risk factor for asthma and asthma-related morbidity. Objective: To investigate whether exposure to a farming environment in early childhood, especially exposure to animals, is associated with sensitization to specific allergens and polysensitization at the age of 31. Methods: In a prospective birth cohort study, 5509 individuals born in northern Finland in 1966 underwent skin prick testing against birch, timothy, cat, and house dust mite at the age of 31. Prenatal exposure to the farming environment was documented at birth, whereas information on childhood exposure to pets was only collected retrospectively at the age of 31. Data were analyzed using logistic regression. Results: Being born to a family with farm animals was associated with a reduced risk of sensitization to birch, timothy, and cat (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 0.55 [95%CI, 0.43-0.70]; aOR, 0.62 [95%CI, 0.48-0.79]; aOR, 0.60 [95%CI, 0.47-0.75]) and polysensitization at the age of 31 (aOR, 0.62 [95%CI, 0.48-0.80]). The number of animal species present during childhood was dose-dependently associated with a reduced risk of sensitization to birch, timothy, and cat, as well as of polysensitization. No association was found with sensitization to house dust mite. Conclusions: Growing up on a farm and contact with higher numbers of animal species in childhood are associated with less frequent sensitization to birch, timothy, and cat allergens and polysensitization in adulthood, but not with sensitization to house dust mite.
Introduction
Authors: Ross Corey , Uekötter Frank
Published: September 2019

The essays in this special issue show what historians can contribute to the emerging field of environmental humanities. They focus on the interplay between natures and nations. Natural icons have served as resources for nation-building from soaring eagles to national parks, and the relationship goes equally in reverse: natures change when seen through the lens of national sentiments. The essays aim for a meta-narrative that supersedes ongoing debates over whether nations are good for nature, and vice versa. On a planet where natural icons and national identities are invariably entangled, historians can foster a much-needed culture of self-observation.
O deus silencioso na poesia de Ana Marques Gastão
Authors: Leite Karoline Alves
Published: September 2019

A coletânea de poemas O silêncio de deus, da poeta portuguesa Ana Marques Gastão, constitui uma parte do livro Três vezes Deus (2001), publicado em co-autoria com António Rego Chaves e Armando Silva Carvalho, e também compõe a antologia A definição da noite, lançada no Brasil em 2003. Esse núcleo de poemas é revelador do sagrado na poesia da citada poeta cujo veio se fundamenta na constatação de um deus, em letra minúscula, silencioso, mudo e, por vezes, ausente, que, ainda assim, é buscado pelo eu lírico. Diante disso, pretende-se aqui perscrutar o sagrado na poesia de Ana Marques Gastão, tendo como objeto de análise os poemas da citada coletânea. A base teórica é composta por Mircea Eliade (2010), Octavio Paz (1982), Nelson de Oliveira (2009) e alguns ensaios.
A morte de deus e a ascenção do homem: uma análise da religião judaico-cristã moderna a partir da obra de José Saramago
Authors: Lima da Silva Francisca Carolina
Published: September 2019

Uma das temáticas predominantes na obra de José Saramago é a releitura e a intertextualidade com as escrituras sagradas que compõem os evangelhos do judaísmo-cristão. Essa prática se constrói a partir de uma desconstrução das narrativas bíblicas e de uma leitura subversiva de alguns dos preceitos que fundaram o ideário ocidental. Ateu convicto, nessas inversões antirreligiosas, Saramago, ao mesmo tempo em que questiona crenças inabaláveis, apresenta-nos a desmistificação da História oficial, a partir de uma visão humanizadora dos episódios bíblicos. Dentro desse diálogo, uma das principais subversões que o autor realiza é a inversão de papéis entre Deus e o homem: enquanto este, através da figura de Jesus Cristo, assume as funções sagradas de Deus, (principalmente a de ser a medida de todas as coisas), aquele corporifica qualidades tipicamente humanas, comprovando, para o autor, sua ineficiência enquanto entidade superior. Este artigo propõe supor que Saramago materializa a perspectiva do Cristianismo moderno em sua obra, através da adoção da ideia filosófica da morte cultural de Deus, por meio da humanização e do desvendamento do caráter cruel e sanguinário dessa personagem. Para tanto, faremos uso dos postulados da Literatura Comparada para proceder nossa análise, utilizando também os conceitos que definem a paródia. Nosso cotejamento se dá acerca da estrutura de composição dos textos bíblicos e da possibilidade de tratamento de tais escritos sob uma perspectiva literária. 
Literatura e Jornalismo em orquestração com a crônica no debate sobre a educação brasileira dos anos 1930
Authors: Lúcia da Silva Nascimento Regina
Published: September 2019

O objetivo deste texto é justificar a aproximação entre Literatura e Jornalismo, dois bens culturais que têm como objeto acontecimentos do cotidiano. Nesse contexto, por meio da publicação de crônicas em uma seção de jornal, Cecília Meireles, na condição de educadora e jornalista, combateu as arbitrariedades dos poderes executivo e eclesiástico relacionadas ao cenário educacional, por ocasião do Governo Provisório de Getúlio Vargas, ao defender a Escola Nova, uma teoria pedagógica alicerçada em conceitos de linhas europeia e norte-americana, as quais valorizavam os estudos realizados nos campos da Biologia, da Psicologia e da Sociologia. À luz desse tripé científico foi lançado o Manifesto dos Pioneiros da Educação Nova de 1932, no qual vinte e seis signatários, dentre eles, Cecília Meireles, defendiam a renovação educacional brasileira.
O Jornal Amapá e a literatura amapaense: os anos entre 1945 e 1968
Authors: Caldas Yurgel Pantoja , Azevedo de Souza Manoel
Published: September 2019

Este trabalho constitui um estudo sobre a importância do jornalismo na divulgação de obras e escritores amapaenses ou radicados no Amapá, através de diversos textos publicadas no Jornal Amapá, durante o período de sua publicação: 1945-1968. Os textos selecionados do referido jornal são documentos de uma época e se configuram como lugares de memória escrita, que permitem o conhecimento da formação histórica e identitária do Amapá, a partir de sua literatura. Com a transformação em território federal (1943), o Amapá reconfigurava seu espaço no cenário político, social e econômico da Amazônia, daí inúmeras referências sobre ocupação e desenvolvimento apresentadas pelo Jornal Amapá. De modo geral, essas referências oferecem um painel sobre a construção das identidades amapaenses pela literatura produzida naquele espaço. 
O retrato: figurações do Dr. Rodrigo Cambará e a obra de arte pictórica
Authors: Brasileiro Osmando Jesus
Published: September 2019

O presente artigo discute a construção do duplo na personagem Dr. Rodrigo Cambará, de O retrato (1951), da trilogia O tempo e o vento, de Erico Verissimo. Essa personagem revela o seu duplo por meio de elementos constitutivos de sua identidade ou afetado por algum acontecimento externo, que ao serem expostos ao mundo ficcional revelam a dupla identidade daqueles que estão sendo representados. Destaca-se Dr. Rodrigo Cambará, em sua relação com o quadro que o representa e a repercussão causada por este e as perspectivas da arte na ficção. Nossa metodologia consiste em analisar as figurações da personagem de Erico Verissimo com base em teóricos como: Clement Rosset (1998), em O real e seu duplo; Walter Benjamin, em Magia e técnica, arte e política; em Paul Ricoeur, em Tempo e narrativa, dentre outros.

Este artigo analisa o personagem Odonato do livro Os Transparentes de Ondjaki (2013) e discute como a (des)construção da subjetividade do luandense está relacionada ao contexto capitalista pós-independência em Angola. Desse modo, entendemos que o desaparecimento gradual de Odonato ocorre como modo de o personagem negociar a perda de sua condição de cidadão, destituído de trabalho, comida e direitos civis, e ainda sofrendo as consequências da corrupção em todas as instituições sociais apresentadas na narrativa fantástica.

O CPC foi um projeto ligado à UNE (União Nacional dos Estudantes) que utilizou o teatro e outras manifestações artísticas como instrumento de conscientização política. A ideia era levar informação para uma maioria em princípio analfabeta, desinformada e excluída, sobre a situação política, econômica e social do país, no início da década de 60 do século passado, com o intuito de articular reformas de base e um processo de transformações brasileiras. O objetivo principal era contribuir para a redução da desigualdade social existente no Brasil. Num primeiro momento, o teatro de rua do CPC utilizou, como forma de manifestação teatral, o que se conheceu como agitprop (um acrônimo derivado das palavras Agitação e Propaganda). Para o Golpe Militar de 1964, o CPC representava uma agressão à ordem pública (que pretendia a manutenção e mesmo o aumento da desigualdade social, favorecendo a classe média alta, empresários, banqueiros). Por isto o CPC foi extinto com violência pelos órgãos de repressão.
A poética mística de Adélia Prado
Authors: Pinheiro Silvana Athayde
Published: September 2019

Este artigo reflete sobre a obra poética de Adélia Prado e suas articulações com alguns aspectos da espiritualidade cristã. Para alcançar este objetivo, busca primeiramente estabelecer relações entre sua concepção mística de poesia, com algumas proposições de pensadores da cultura ocidental, especialmente quanto à ideia do Logos: Tomás de Aquino, importante filósofo cristão, e Heráclito, pensador grego, anterior à era cristã. Após identificar essas aproximações filosóficas, a análise recorre a considerações teóricas de Teilhard de Chardin, teólogo católico de meados do século XX, para compreender o significado da noção de alegria, associada à fé cristã e abordada, direta ou indiretamente, em muitos poemas da autora. Além disso, assinala diálogos intertextuais que a obra poética adeliana estabelece com textos bíblicos neo e veterotestamentários. Recorre, ainda, a textos utilizadas por Adélia Prado em seu primeiro livro, Bagagem (1976), que reforçam sua opção pela teologia católica, dialogando especialmente com o pensamento de Francisco de Assis. A partir dessas considerações, o artigo aponta para o fato de que aspectos da religiosidade cristã se tornaram características de algumas expressões da poesia modernista brasileira, de acordo com observações críticas de Augusto Massi (2015).

Assim, o artigo traz, por um lado, o debate acerca do fazer literário, e por outro, as tradições religiosas.
Hipocrisia ou expiação moral? Representações de religiosidades na dramaturgia rodrigueana
Authors: Barcelos Carolina
Published: September 2019

: A obra de Nelson Rodrigues, contos, crônicas e peças, é marcada por temas como sexo, traição, incesto, enfermidades, assassinato, loucura e suicídio. É principalmente pelos opostos complementares, amor e morte, que seus personagens  incorrem no trágico, não sem antes apelarem a ou demonstrarem uma prática religiosa como forma de expiação moral ou por hipocrisia. Ademais, a formação cristã do autor e os princípios morais que norteavam aquela sociedade brasileira das décadas de 40, 50 e 60, quando suas peças foram escritas, estão presentes nos seus textos e são determinantes para o logro de diversos personagens. Desse modo, o presente artigo tem por objetivo analisar a representação de religiosidades na dramaturgia rodrigueana em suas diferentes fases. Para esse fim, serão examinadas a peça mítica Álbum de família (1945) e a tragédia carioca Boca de ouro (1959). Outros textos dramatúrgicos e não dramatúrgicos do escritor também são eventualmente cotejados com as peças escolhidas.
Imaginário, sagrado e fantástico:interseções e deslumbres na Amazônia
Authors: Ribeiro Wellerth Mendes
Published: September 2019

O presente artigo tem por objetivo reconhecer, dentro dos contos “ A Feiticeira” e “ Acauã” de Inglês de Sousa, na obra Contos Amazônicos, a presença das expressões do Sagrado, relacionados com o imaginário da Amazônia. A conceituação do que seja o Sagrado será embasada na concepção de Rudolf Otto (2005), através também da definição do conceito de Numinoso, que é o que permite que as expressões e manifestações do sagrado possam ser sentidas. Por se tratar da utilização do texto literário, o conceito do sagrado a ser utilizado na análise da obra será equiparado ao conceito do Fantástico (TODOROV), gênero utilizado dentro da epistemologia da Literatura para explicar o sobrenatural. O trabalho visa estabelecer a relação entre estes conceitos e fundamentá-los para a construção de uma relação de análise estabelecida na linha da Literatura e Religião, apontado autores como Magalhães e Gaia, que constituem estudos sobre este prisma. Além disso, o artigo ainda versa sobre a relação do texto literário produzido na Amazônia ,junto também aos conceitos de imaginário (DURAND, BACHELARD,TRINDADE E LAPLANTINE, PAES LOUREIRO) e suas particularidades regionais caracterizando-o para que haja uma análise coerente sobre as marcas da expressão do Sagrado que acontecem nos textos escolhidos para a análise e aplicabilidade de tais conceitos.

Does Control of Corruption Matter for Entrepreneurship in Emerging Economies: Evidence from Post-Communist Countries
Authors: Ghura Hasan , Li Xiaqing , Hamdan Allam
Published: September 2019

Corruption has been shown to discourage entrepreneurship in both developed and developing countries. However, it is less clear to what extent corruption affects the development of institutions’ impact on entrepreneurial activity in the context of emerging economies, such as those in the post-communist countries. This study used Institutional Economics as a conceptual framework with the aim of analysing the moderating effect of control of corruption (informal institution) on the relationship between formal institutions (such as the number of procedures, education and training, access to finance, and technology absorption) and entrepreneurial activity. The study used panel data of 14 post-communist countries and different secondary databases from the years 2006-2014. The article has several implications from both theoretical perspectives (advancing the application of Institutional Economics for the study of entrepreneurship) and from the practical point of view (providing insights for governmental policies interested in fostering higher entrepreneurial levels).

Investigating Obesity Related Behaviours in Friendship Networks Among the Youth: A Systemized Review
Authors: Alsayed Noor , Eldabi Tillal , Lee Habin
Published: September 2019

Background: An unhealthy diet, low levels of physical activity and increased participation in sedentary activities are important obesity-related behaviours that negatively impact the health of today’s youth. Friends’ health behaviours have been found to influence the individual health behaviours; however current evidence on the specific role of friendship networks on obesity-related behaviours are inconclusive. The purpose of this review is to profile the existing literature in an attempt to identify the associations between friendship networks and obesity-related behaviours among adolescents. Method: A systemized review of the literature was undertaken after a search of the Scopus database, a total of fifteen articles were eligible for inclusion. The selected publications assessed the association between friendship networks and obesity-related behaviours (diet, physical activity, and sedentary behaviour) among the youth. Results: There is consistent evidence that friends are similar in physical activity; evidence on diet and sedentary behaviour is mixed and limited. Friendship network characteristics seem to associated with obesity-related behaviours. Popularity (receiving ties) is likely to be associated with diet, network size and the proportion of active friends is tends to be associated with physical activity and finally, network density is associated with sedentary behaviour. Conclusion: Friendships are critical in shaping young people’s obesity-related behaviours. There is extensive research investigating friendship influences on diet physical activity and sedentary behaviour. Future studies should investigate whether friendship influence operates via other obesity-related behaviours that have not been explored yet such as sleep. Results from this review are informative for designing effective public health interventions because network-based promotion interventions have a promising potential.

Interlude
Authors: Coe Cati
Published: September 2019

One of the things that kin do is shape one another. They influence one another’s tastes—in food, music, and leisure activities—by introducing them to these sensations and making these activities meaningful by spending time together over food and play. Patients expose care workers to the sports and games that they like to play. This short piece describes an unusual situation in which a care worker was inspired to learn to play tennis and swim because of her patient.
Interlude
Authors: Coe Cati
Published: September 2019

This coda explores the role of home care workers in helping patients and their kin establish rituals and meaning at the end of life. Kin often find themselves having difficulty creating the proper ritual space or sense of union and communion with the dead and with each other. They do not have a cultural script of what to do, which leads to greater grief. This lack of ritual around home deaths speaks to the cultural desire to avoid death as long as possible, the expertise of medical authorities in structuring the dying process in hospitals, and the fact that aging in general is somewhat unstructured, with relatively few rituals in comparison to the transitions of childhood and youth. Given the lack of structure in home deaths, kin are amenable to guidance about new kinds of social actions from others, including from home care workers, who become experts in dying. Such moments draw patients’ kin and home care workers closer together.
