Veiled Meaning In Plato's Phaedrus : Dramatic Detail as a Guide for Philosophizing
Authors: Adamczyk Christopher Lee
Published: December 2023

Abstract: In the Phaedrus , Plato provides an intriguing dramatic detail immediately before Socrates's first speech. "I shall veil myself to speak," Socrates declares, "so that I may run through the speech as quickly as possible and may not be at a complete loss from a sense of shame as I look towards you." In this essay, I argue that Socrates's veiling illustrates how authors of dialogic literature about philosophical topics subtly use dramatic and literary details to suggest preferred philosophical takeaways.
Thus Speaks Mr. Nobody: Brecht's Stories of Mr. Keuner through the Lensof Classical Chinese Dialectics
Authors: Zhang Wei
Published: December 2023

Abstract: This essay presents a refreshing reading of Bertolt Brecht's Stories of Mr. Keuner through the lens of classical Chinese dialectics. Through careful analysis, I uncover not only interesting resonances between Brecht's stories and classical Chinese philosophy but also intriguing dialectic tensions between individual and clusters of stories in the collection, and between Brecht (the man, the artist, and his dramatic oeuvre) and Mr. Keuner (Mr. Nobody), his philosophical alter ego, as the titular character dialogues with his many interlocutors on momentous issues such as knowledge, power, justice, fatherland, and more.
From medieval march to military frontier: English border formation in south Dublin, 1460–1534
Authors: Ellis Steven G.
Published: December 2023

Abstract: The south Dublin frontier between English settlers and native Irish established after the twelfth-century conquest was the most prominent and longest lasting of medieval Ireland's many marches. The frontier later underwent ongoing English contraction, but two separate late fifteenth-century developments sought to reverse this. The south Dublin marches were built up into an impressive military frontier, with a formidable belt of defences around its dikes and ditches. The frontier was also incorporated into the English Pale, a wider system of defences thrown up around the Dublin region, although elsewhere the defences of 'the four obedient shires' were less developed. The military frontier's effectiveness in curtailing Irish raids remains unappreciated, however. Successive studies of the south Dublin frontier have argued instead for a truncated English Pale ending with the dikes and ditches of the statutory, march-maghery boundary as Irish raiding continued unabated. In practice, the military frontier extended English rule well into the Pale marches beyond, recovering erstwhile English ground lost during the marches' earlier contraction.
Antiquarianism and orientalism from Limerick: The Ouseleys, 1739–1842
Authors: Barnard Toby
Published: December 2023

Abstract: This paper suggests how the antiquarian interests of Captain Ralph Ouseley, resident in Limerick from the 1760s until his death in 1803 and a founder member of the Royal Irish Academy, shaped the careers of his three sons. Each travelled to India and two, Gore and Joseph Walker, found long and profitable employment there. The third and eldest, William (1768–1842) is the main focus of this account. As a youth, William Ouseley accompanied his father on antiquarian excursions in the west of Ireland where he applied his talents as a topographical artist. Soon, however, his curiosity shifted towards India and Persia, translating and publishing works in their languages, and becoming a voracious collector of manuscripts, artefacts and texts originating in the sub-continent. William Ouseley, although respected for his expertise by contemporaries and being knighted, failed to gain any remunerative official appointment. His sole visit to Asia only occurred in 1810. Nor did he participate in the fierce controversies generated by Vallancey about the possible linkages between the peoples and languages of Asia and of Ireland. Ouseley's later life was passed in England, Wales and continental Europe, but the formative influence in Ireland of his father's tutelage and collections, which included oriental elements, is suggested.

Published: December 2023

We propose and demonstrate a 64-channel SiN-Si dual-layer optical phased array (OPA). By taking advantages of both SiN and Si materials, high-power handling and efficient modulation could be achieved simultaneously. In addition, steering range and emission loss are improved by introducing the non-uniform dual-layer antenna. Thinned array efficiently utilized in microwave phased array is first introduced to the OPA. Design details and the corresponding simulation results are presented, and the proposed OPA is successfully fabricated and experimentally characterized. 2D scanning with a steering range of 120°×13.9° and with a resolution of 0.052°×2.72° is demonstrated and a total loss of 12.66 dB is also measured, making it promising for high-resolution long-distance light detection and ranging (Lidar) applications.
Linear-wavenumber swept source based on an acousto-optic device for optical coherence tomography
Authors: Ji Xuanxuan , Suzuki Takamasa , Choi Samuel , Sasaki Osami , Pu Jixiong
Published: December 2023

Linear-wavenumber swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) enables real-time, high-quality OCT imaging by eliminating the need for data resampling, as required in conventional SS-OCT. In this study, we introduced a high-performance linear-wavenumber swept source (k-SS) with a broad scanning range and high output power. The linear k-SS is an acousto-optic-modulator-based external-cavity laser diode analogous to the Littrow configuration. The k-SS exhibits strong linearity in the 1.3 µm region, justified by a high goodness of fit R2 value of 0.9998. Additionally, its scanning range, output power, and linewidth are 120 nm, more than 43 mW, and approximately 1.6 nm, respectively. The sweep rate is 280 Hz after the linear k compensation of the experimental equipment. We demonstrated the effectiveness of the linear k-SS by applying it to measure a sample distribution without k-domain resampling before the Fourier transform. This successful implementation indicates that the linear k-SS has practical potential for application in SS-OCT systems.

Published: December 2023

In this work, the concentration of rare-earth ions in doped silica whispering gallery lasers (WGLs) is controlled by evaporation. The fabrication of WGLs is used to experimentally evaluate the evaporation rate (mol/μm) and ratio (mol/mol) of erbium and silica lost from a doped fiber during heating. Fixed lengths of doped silica fiber are spliced to different lengths of undoped fiber and then evaporated by feeding into the focus of a CO2 laser. During evaporation, erbium ions are precipitated in the doped silica fiber to control the erbium concentration in the remaining SiO2, which is melted into a microsphere. By increasing the length of the undoped section, a critical point is reached where effectively no ions remain in the glass microsphere. The critical point is found using the spectra of the whispering gallery modes in microspheres with equal sizes. From the critical point, it is estimated that, for a given CO2 laser power, 6.36 × 10−21 mol of Er3+ is lost during the evaporation process for every cubic micron of silica fiber. This is equivalent to 1.74 × 10−7 mol of Er3+ lost per mol of SiO2 evaporated. This result facilitates the control of the doping concentration in WGLs and provides insight into the kinetics of laser-induced evaporation of doped silica.
Experimental characterization of quasiperiodic route to chaos in a VECSEL with SESAM
Authors: Castillo-Pinto Camila , Clerc Marcel , Ottevaere Heidi , Panajotov Krassimir
Published: December 2023

We analyze the temporal dynamics of an optically-pumped quantum well vertical external-cavity surface-emitting laser (VECSEL) with a Semiconductor Saturable Absorber Mirror (SESAM) using the time series obtained when varying the pump power. We unveil the quasiperiodic route to chaos in the system by characterizing the Fourier spectra, the attractors in phase space, and the Lyapunov exponents for each temporal behavior observed: periodicity, quasiperiodicity, and chaos. Thus, we provide a complete description of this experimental observation of the route to chaos in a VECSEL-SESAM system.
Enhance the responsivity of self-driven ultraviolet photodetector by (Al,Ga)N nanowire/graphene/PVDF heterojunction with high stability
Authors: Zhou Min , Zhao Yukun , Zhang Qianyi , Gu Xiushuo , Zhang Jianya , Jiang Min , Lu Shulong
Published: December 2023

Due to the low-power consumption, self-driven ultraviolet (UV) photodetectors have great potentials in a broad range of applications, such as optical communication, ozone monitoring, bio-medicine, and flame detection. In this Letter, it is pretty novel to enhance the photocurrent and responsivity of self-driven UV photodetectors by (Al,Ga)N nanowire/graphene/polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) heterojunction successfully. Compared to those of the photodetector with only nanowire/graphene heterojunction, it is found that both the photocurrent and responsivity of the photodetector with nanowire/graphene/PVDF heterojunction can be enhanced more than 100%. It is proposed that PVDF could maintain the internal gain by increasing the number of carrier cycles. Furthermore, this photodetector can also have a high detectivity of 5.3×1011 Jones and fast response speed under 310 nm illumination. After preserving for one month without any special protection, both photocurrent and responsivity of the photodetector with nanowire/graphene/PVDF heterojunction are demonstrated to be quite stable. Therefore, this work paves an effective way to improve the performance of photodetectors for their applications in the fields of next-generation optoelectronic devices.

Published: December 2023

We demonstrate a higher sensitivity detection of proteins in a photonic crystal platform by including a deep subwavelength feature in the unit cell that locally increases the energy density of light. Through both simulations and experiments, the sensing capability of a deep subwavelength-engineered silicon antislot photonic crystal nanobeam (PhCNB) cavity is compared to that of a traditional PhCNB cavity. The redistribution and local enhancement of the energy density by the 50 nm antislot enable stronger light–molecule interaction at the surface of the antislot and lead to a larger resonance shift upon protein binding. This surface-based energy enhancement is confirmed by experiments demonstrating a nearly 50% larger resonance shift upon attachment of streptavidin molecules to biotin-functionalized antislot PhCNB cavities.
Double aerial image sights-assisted arm-shooter device and its application
Authors: Ogata Yoichi
Published: December 2023

I fabricated a new type of arm-equipped material ejection device with functionality like optical
aerial imaging sights. Until now, the technique for aerial imaging using a retroreflector (RR) plate
has been reported in many research institutes. However, the research related to the interlocking
between the obtained aerial images and the motion mechanism device has not been done hardly. If
such a device function is established, an innovative model in the field of human-machine interface
(HMI) will be finalized. In this work, I created the ultimate system combining aerial imaging device
with a shooting device, as part of HMI research. Concretely, by recommending aerial images as
sights, I fabricated a new type of arm-equipped material injection device with interesting function that
can change the sight shapes during triggering.

Published: December 2023

Background and aim

Primarily, this study compares the efficacy of probiotic and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) in alleviating the severity of alcohol craving and alcohol use disorder (AUD) among patients who had undergo two weeks of in-patient detoxification. Secondarily, this study compares the efficacy of probiotic and ACT in mitigating the severity of comorbid depression and anxiety symptoms; decreasing serum level of pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as interleukin 1β (IL-1β), interleukin 6 (IL-6), and tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α); changing the event-related potential in electroencephalogram (EEG) and restoring microbiota flora in the gut of AUD patients.

Methods and analysis

Initially, during Phase I of the study, the serum level of IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α; ERP changes in the EEG and fecal microbiota content will be compared between 120 AUD patients and 120 healthy controls. Subsequently in Phase II of the study, 120 AUD patients will be randomized by stratified permuted block randomization into the probiotic, ACT and placebo groups in a 1:1:1 ratio. Participants in the probiotic and placebo groups will be administered one sachet per day of Lactobacillus spp. probiotic and placebo, respectively for 12 weeks. While those in the ACT group will receive one session per week of ACT for 8 weeks. Outcome measures will be administered at four timepoints, such as t0 = baseline assessment prior to intervention, t1 = 8 weeks after intervention began, t2 = 12 weeks after intervention and t3 = 24 weeks after intervention. Primary outcomes are the degrees of alcohol craving, alcohol withdrawal during abstinence and AUD. Secondary outcomes to be assessed are the severity of co-morbid depression and anxiety symptoms; the serum levels of IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α; changes in ERP and fecal microbiota content.

Authors: Takahashi Nana , Sato Kota , Kiyota Naoki , Yamazaki Mai , Kunikane Eriko , Nakazawa Toru
Published: December 2023

Purpose

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of a 1% brinzolamide and 0.1% brimonidine fixed combination (BBFC) on ONH blood flow (BF) in rabbits.

Methods

A crossover study was conducted on pigmented rabbits; a physiological saline solution, brinzolamide, or BBFC was administered for eight days. ONH BF, intraocular pressure (IOP) and systemic parameters were measured before the eighth day’s first dose and at 6, 9, 12, and 14 hours after the dose. ONH BF was assessed using laser speckle flowgraphy, and mean blur rate (MBR) values were calculated. The percentage against baseline of each parameter was calculated, and intergroup comparisons were performed at each time point.

Results

There were no significant differences in the percentage change in systemic parameters. At 6 hours after administration, the BBFC group showed a significantly higher percentage change in large vessel area-MBR (%MV) compared to the control group (98.6±16.8%MV vs. 81.3±7.9%MV, P = 0.03). On the other hand, the brinzolamide group did not show a significant difference. Both the brinzolamide and BBFC groups had significantly lower percentage change in IOP (%IOP) compared to the control group (90.6±5.0%IOP, 93.3±2.9%IOP, and 99.2±1.7%IOP, respectively, P < 0.01).

Conclusion

BBFC effectively reduces IOP and mitigates diurnal fluctuation-induced decreases in ONH BF.
Authenticity and the African story
Authors: Odugbemi Femi
Published: December 2023

This keynote presentation by Femi Odugbemi, titled ‘Authenticity and the African story’, delves into the intricate relationship between authenticity and the representation of African narratives in the global creative landscape. It explores the tension between maintaining the authenticity of cultural stories while adapting them to reach a global audience. Through compelling examples like the success of films such as Black Panther, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever and The Woman King, the presentation examines how narratives rooted in African cultures can achieve widespread popularity even when not created by Indigenous African storytellers. The exploration of this phenomenon leads to an examination of the complex debate surrounding authenticity vs. commercial viability. The article acknowledges the challenges and risks of cultural appropriation, misrepresentation and inequality inherent in the commodification of cultural content. Balancing creative freedom and market demand, the presentation advocates for a collaborative approach, ensuring equitable compensation and involvement of originating cultures in the creative process. The discussion expands to the influence of technology, particularly AI and VR, in preserving, sharing and enhancing African narratives on a global scale. Ultimately, the presentation emphasizes that authentic storytelling involves a nuanced portrayal of human experiences, fostering empathy, understanding and economic opportunities while preserving cultural heritage and promoting a more truthful representation of Africa.

integración de egresados en un ecosistema publicitario local: el caso de Alicante
Authors: Poveda Salvá Miquel , Vizcaíno Alcantud Pablo
Published: December 2023

No existe una normativa legal que impida el desempeño profesional de la actividad publicitaria si no se dispone de la titulación universitaria de Publicidad y Relaciones Públicas. El intrusismo en esta área se vincula, más bien, a la necesidad de contar con la formación y preparación necesarias. Ahí radica la utilidad del actual grado universitario: será más o menos valioso en la medida que proporcione la formación que se requiere para desempeñar adecuadamente la profesión y responder de forma satisfactoria a las nuevas demandas que generan los profundos cambios en el sector comunicativo. Es evidente, por tanto, que el interés por seleccionar el grado como vía formativa, así como la posterior capacidad de empleabilidad de los egresados y egresadas, estará vinculado a la idoneidad del grado.

Por ese motivo es necesario que las universidades profundicen en el conocimiento de las exigencias cambiantes en el sector y muestren la agilidad suficiente para adaptar sus planes de estudio.

En este estudio, tras la realización de dos encuestas de carácter cuantitativo y una batería de entrevistas en profundidad, se plantea conocer el encaje de egresados y egresadas de Publicidad y Relaciones Públicas de la UA en el ecosistema de agencias de publicidad de la provincia de Alicante, así como el efecto que ha supuesto la existencia de estudios universitarios en el sector.

Validation of ADC Platform for Protein Concentration and the Drug-Antibody Ratio (DAR) using Variable Pathlength Technology
Authors:   Piramal Pharma Solutions, Nixon Melissa , François Bérengère ,   Repligen Corporation
Published: December 2023

Antibody Drug Conjugates (ADCs) are biopharmaceutical drugs which are designed to treat cancer by targeting and killing the cancerous cells while leaving the healthy tissue intact. ADCs are comprised of an antibody connected to a cytotoxic drug by a linkerThe antibody targets a specific antigen which is present in cancerous cells but not healthy cells. The ADC binds to the cancer cell and becomes internalized where the cytotoxic drug is released and kills the cancer cell. Two important pieces of information required about the ADC are the protein concentration and the Drug-Antibody Ratio (DAR). The DAR is the number of drug molecules attached to the antibody. It is important during the manufacturing steps to ensure that the process is proceeding as expected and that there is not more or less drug present than required.
Prophylactic efficacy of 400 vs. 200 mg/kg /day calcium gluconate to prevent neonatal hypocalcemia
Authors: Apsera Liza , Sianturi Pertin , Nafianti Selvi
Published: December 2023

Background Serum calcium is at its lowest level within 24–48 hours after birth, rendering the neonate vulnerable to hypocalcemia. In our center, despite prophylactic administration of 200 mg/kg/day calcium gluconate, the prevalence of neonatal hypocalcemia remains high.

Aim To determine the prophylactic efficacy of 400 vs. 200 mg/kg/day calcium gluconate in preventing neonatal hypocalcemia.

Methods A randomized clinical trial with a pre- and post-test experimental design was done on neonates who fasted or received only minimal enteral feeding. Subjects were randomized to receive either 400 mg/kg/day (intervention group) or 200 mg/kg/day (control group) of intravenous calcium gluconate. We compared serum ionized calcium levels on the first day of admission before calcium gluconate administration and on the third day of hospitalization between the intervention and control groups.

Results The median ionized calcium levels in the intervention vs. control group before calcium gluconate administration was 1.16 (range 0.4-2.4) mmol/L vs. 1.15 (range 0.6-4.5) mmol/L , respectively (P=0.561). After three days of calcium gluconate administration, the median ionized calcium level was 1.19 (range 0.7-1.45) mmol/L vs. 1.19 (range 0.68-4.6) mmol/L in the intervention vs. control group, respectively (P=0.828). The difference in pre- vs. post-administration ionized calcium levels was significant within the intervention group (P=0.032), but not within the control group (P=0.128).

Conclusion Prophylactic intravenous calcium gluconate at 400 mg/kg/day was not more effective in preventing neonatal hypocalcemia than 200 mg/kg/day.
Maternal barriers to stimulating early childhood development on Tidore Island
Authors: Kusila Gilbert Renardi
Published: December 2023

Background The first 5 years of life provide a foundation for neuroplastic development, which establishes the capacity to accomplish complicated tasks in later life. However, this period is vulnerable to multiple stressors and adversities that prevent children from achieving age-related developmental milestones. Mothers as primary caregivers may find it challenging to engage her child in stimulating activities.

Objectives To understand maternal barriers to stimulating early childhood development and potential interventions that can be developed.

Methods This explorative, qualitative study was conducted in 13 different service coverage areas of the Soasio Community Health Center (Puskesmas), Tidore Islands, North Maluku, Indonesia. A total of 30 mothers participated in structured interview sessions. The analysis was conducted inductively, by generating some key issues from the interview.

Results Eight maternal barriers to engaging in child stimulation activities were found: (1) family members, (2) gender-related interaction, (3) partial understanding of child health-related information, (4) prioritizing one developmental achievement over others, (5) timidity in decision making, (6) delaying stimulation due to overreliance on the role of school, (7) responsive feeding, and (8) media. Maternal motivation, societal awareness of child development, and support of maternal and family mental health are needed to improve maternal engagement in child stimulation.

Conclusions Family, community, and life experiences may become maternal barriers to stimulating childhood development. Providing better social support, information access, and woman empowerment in decision-making will help mothers to be more engaged in child development stimulation activities.

Published: December 2023

Background Central nervous system (CNS) infection affects the brain, and can cause cerebral edema, increased intracranial pressure (ICP), cerebral herniation, and death. Measurement of the optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) by ultrasound is a new, non–invasive examination to predict ICP, with high sensitivity and specificity.Objective To analyze for a possible association between ONSD measured by ultrasonographic examination and severity of CNS infection.

Methods This cross–sectional study was performed in the Pediatric Department of Hasan Sadikin Hospital, Bandung, West Java. Subjects were chosen by consecutive sampling. We measured ONSD, examined clinical manifestations, as well as performed a cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) study and imaging of CNS infection. Data analysis was done by paired T–test and one–way ANOVA, followed by Tukey test on significant variables.

Results Subjects consisted of 32 children with CNS infection. The most common clinical symptoms were fever, decreased consciousness, and nuchal rigidity. Bivariate analysis revealed strong positive associations between ONSD and Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS), increased protein levels in CSF, and type of CNS infection.

Conclusion Larger  ONSD is significantly associated with lower GCS, increases CSF protein, and particular CNS infections. The ONSD is also associated with meningitis tuberculosis grade III, with a higher mean ONSD of both eyes compares to other CNS infections. Hence, the higher the ONSD, the more severe the degree of CNS infection.

Reminiscences and Autoreminiscences in Three Early Editions of the Poem by M.Yu. Lermontov "Demon"
Authors: Гребнева Марина Павловна
Published: December 2023

The article is devoted to the first three early editions of the poem by M.Yu. Lermontov "Demon", in which the author uses reminiscences from the poetic stories of V.A. Zhukovsky and A.S. Pushkin, traditionally referred to as romantic poems, as well as non-genre poems (elegies) by V.A. Zhukovsky. Interest in non-genre poems is not accidental and extremely productive, since they include lyrical, epic, and dramatic beginnings. The comparative analysis carried out in the study showed that in connection with reminiscences in Lermontov's poem, we can talk not only about individual lines, motifs, images, but also about the invariant complex of techniques for incarnating the images of a demon and an angel, characteristic of Russian literature of this period, concerning, in particular, motifs of water (tears) and fire, as well as the traditional group of themes-plots: "demon" - "small demon" - "demonic hero". Already in these initial versions of the poem, quoting lines from his own lyrical and dramatic works of 1829–1831, as well as plays (1830) and "People and Passions" (1830), Lermontov also uses the technique of autoreminiscence.

Os participantes, residentes no Estado do Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil, foram recrutados on-line e convidados a listar as quatro primeiras palavras e/ou expressões que viessem à sua mente diante de imagens de queijos caseiros não inspecionados e queijos inspecionados, tanto artesanais quanto industrializados. Todas as palavras válidas foram agrupadas por significados semânticos em dimensões/categorias e as citadas por pelo menos 5% dos participantes foram analisadas utilizando o teste do qui-quadrado de independência, considerando 5% de significância. Não houve relação estatística (p0,05) de aceitação ou rejeição entre os três tipos de queijos, a maioria das palavras relacionadas a sentimentos foram positivas para todos os produtos analisados. Para queijos caseiros não inspecionados, a percepção dos consumidores está ligada às formas tradicionais de produção, mencionando palavras como colonial, artesanal, caseiro e familiar; também é forte a correlação destes queijos com hábitos culturais e formas de consumo. Os queijos artesanais inspecionados foram associados às palavras industrializado, padronizado, rótulo, embalagem e caro, nitidamente ligados a processos industriais de fabricação, maior segurança ao consumo e maior valor agregado. Para os queijos inspecionados industrializados (mozzarella), as palavras pizza, lanche, derretido e delicioso indicam boa aceitação e remetem à gastronomia. As descobertas revelam que a percepção sobre queijos inspecionados esta direcionada para qualidade e controle, o que não ocorre para queijos não inspecionados, relacionados à produção tradicional e cultura.

The environment and waste disposal: study of the legislation in the RMPA regarding the prohibition of plastic straws in the metropolitan region of Porto Alegre
O objetivo desta pesquisa é investigar, a partir de dados secundários, quais os municípios da RMPA que apresentam alguma legislação relacionada ao uso de canudos plásticos e analisá-las. O plástico foi criado no início do século XX e, desde então, a indústria deste material só cresceu. Apesar deste material ser leve, barato e durável, causa problemas ao meio ambiente, pois se acumula, ao longo do tempo, provocando poluição e difícil degradação. Os canudos são feitos de plásticos e seu tempo de consumo não ultrapassa 15 minutos o que se traduz em uma relação custo/benefício altíssima.  Do ponto de vista dos procedimentos metodológicos, esta pesquisa foi inicialmente documental e bibliográfica, através de livros, artigos, pesquisa na internet em sites do IBGE, da ABRELPE, ABIPLAST e pesquisas realizadas nas prefeituras. Ainda, foi realizado um levantamento da legislação dos municípios da Região Metropolitana de Porto Alegre (RMPA) quanto à exigência de lei de proibição dos canudos plásticos ou de projeto de lei neste sentido que esteja em tramitação na Câmara. Dos 34 municípios avaliados concluiu-se que 18 não possuem nenhuma lei ou projeto de lei relacionado à proibição dos canudos plásticos, 15 municípios possuem lei e apenas um município possui um projeto de lei. Todos os municípios que possuem esse tipo de legislação apresentam alternativas sustentáveis para a substituição, como canudos de papel e de material biodegradável.

The ecological subject in teacher training and the self-training contributions of meditation (mindfulness), breathing and corporeity
Este estudo investigou contribuições de práticas autoformativas (corporeidade, respiração e meditação) com vistas à formação do sujeito ecológico na docência. Para tanto, foram realizadas oficinas com professores de uma escola pública no Distrito Federal. Os resultados revelaram percepção de melhoria no autocuidado, nos relacionamentos interpessoais e na qualidade das próprias práticas pedagógicas. Os benefícios relatados sugerem que essas atividades contribuem para ativação e fortalecimento de valores de auto/hetero/ecoformação. Assim, considera-se fundamental promover atividades que integrem corpo, mente e emoção na formação docente. Isso pode contribuir para o bem-estar do educador e para a qualidade do ambiente escolar como um todo.

Urban green areas and youth in southern Brazil: the role of schools and sources of information in the development of knowledge
O artigo explora o papel da escola e outras fontes de informações na elaboração de saberes por jovens, adolescentes, residentes no Sul do Brasil, sobre áreas verdes urbanas (AVU). Os dados foram coletados mediante a aplicação de um questionário anônimo, e submetidos ao teste Modelo Lineares Generalizados, com família binomial. Para 57% dos jovens, a temática foi objeto de estudo na Educação Básica, porém, a televisão é a principal fonte de informação sobre AVU, seguida das mídias sociais. Os resultados mostram diferenças, estatisticamente significativas, em relação ao gênero, nível de instrução das mães e ao estado em que residem. A pesquisa aponta a importância de o tema ser inserido no currículo escolar, possibilitando o aprendizado, por meio da interação em diferentes espaços públicos urbanos, articulando conteúdos interdisciplinares com a vivência dos estudantes.

The socio-environmental problem in the symptomatic framework of the pathologies of modernity: a habermasian reading plausible for teaching
Neste ensaio buscamos situar os problemas socioambientais no quadro sintomático das patologias da modernidade, abordada por Habermas na Teoria do Agir Comunicativo. Em Habermas, a sociedade é pensada na integração entre mundo da vida e sistema, conceitos que se constituem pontos centrais de sua teoria. Consideramos que os domínios da ação instrumental, próprios dos mecanismos sistêmicos (“dinheiro” e “poder”), ampliaram-se inapropriadamente, atingindo os campos do mundo vivido e promovendo a colonização sistêmica. Nesse processo, os espaços da ação comunicativa são assimilados pela ação instrumental, favorecendo o surgimento das patologias nas sociedades capitalistas, entre elas temos as questões socioambientais. A teoria social de Habermas nos permite compreender a crise ambiental e suas consequências, ao ponderar sobre razão instrumental, sistema, mundo da vida e colonização sistêmica.

Environmental perception and solid waste: a study conducted with students of a Higher Education Institution in Juiz de Fora, State of Minas Gerais (MG)
O presente estudo teve o objetivo de avaliar a percepção ambiental relacionada aos resíduos sólidos de alunos de cursos de graduação em Engenharia de uma instituição de ensino superior. Para tanto, utilizou-se a metodologia survey, expressa na aplicação de um questionário, com um total de 18 questões, abordando as práticas cotidianas relacionadas aos resíduos sólidos e a gestão municipal integrada de resíduos sólidos. Os resultados encontrados demonstraram uma maior adesão dos alunos do curso de graduação em Engenharia Ambiental e Sanitária às práticas pró-ambientais. Os alunos desse curso demonstraram o maior conhecimento em relação à gestão integrada de resíduos sólidos e aos problemas decorrentes de sua ausência ou inadequação. Destacou-se o elevado percentual de alunos do curso de graduação em Engenharia Civil que não adotam práticas pró-ambientais e que desconhecem os aspectos relacionados à destinação final e à disposição final ambientalmente adequadas de resíduos sólidos.

Environmental ethics: brief review and future challenges
O aumento dos agravos contra a natureza possibilita uma abertura reflexiva sobre a forma de se agir moralmente em relação ao meio ambiente. Por isso a importância de revisitar historicamente as éticas ambientais, bem como discutir sobre possibilidades futuras frente a esse emergencial desafio ambiental. O objetivo do artigo foi de realizar uma breve revisão da lituratura e analítica sobre a ética ambiental, de sua origem até a contemporaneidade, passando pela discussão do status moral e do valor intrínseco. A tese central do artigo é que as emoções podem ser consideradas elementos essenciais para uma mudança de comportamento ético ambiental. Os paradigmas impostos pela questão ambiental implicam em novas reflexões no campo da ética. E seu desafio futuro deve estar centrado no debate acerca de um conceito mais holístico, incluindo atitudes pró-ambientais pautadas em razões normativas, mas sob forte engajamento emocional.
