The Skill of Imagining the Future: The Utopian Dimension of Soviet Revolutionary Festivities
Authors: Paniotova Taisia , Romanenko Maxim
Published: July 2022

This paper considers revolutionary festivities as one of the main manifestations of the Soviet culture of the 1917–1920s. Festivals varied in types and forms (mainly mass performances) and came to make part of the space of utopias in the first post-revolutionary decade. In this context, utopia is regarded as a cultural form of the sensual and rational comprehension of social reality. It produces ideas about happiness and harmony in response to the eternal human need both to foresee the future and to model it. According to recent findings in utopian studies (Ernst Bloch, Frederic Jameson, etc.), a utopia is articulated not in the form of literary texts containing the ideal blueprints of a new social order, but in the form of various intentions that contain the ability and skill to wish for the best, create alternative projects of the future, and criticise what hinders its achievement. Revolutionary festivities are interpreted as a set of value-based cultural practices – iconic actions and artifacts associated with memorable events, outstanding personalities, and special ceremonials. The use of the method of imaginary reconstitution of society (IROS) by Ruth Levitas and the model of a revolutionary festival constructed by Mona Ozouf as a theoretical tool make it possible to reconstruct the utopian dimension of Soviet revolutionary festivities. The festival chronotype is analysed through the prism of three modes of utopia as a method: archaeological, ontological, and architectural. There are interacting strategies or techniques – defamiliarisation, criticism, creating an alternative, and experiencing it – that work on the coherent image of a positive future. The research optics constructed in this way make it possible to reveal why, in the absence of holistic pictures of the future, revolutionary festivities nevertheless involved participants in forming a new political, social, and cultural order, as well as legitimising the revolution. The article refers to the description of the festivities in the publications of contemporaries of that epoch, i. e., authors (A. Piotrovsky) and critics (O. Tsekhnovitser, N. Shubsky et al.).
The Demise of the Dyatlov Group in Literary Mythology and Art: From Heroisation to Profanation of the Tragedy
Authors: Turysheva Olga
Published: July 2022

This article reviews the artistic adaptation of the tragedy which took place in the North Ural Mountains in 1959 involving the demise of Igor Dyatlov’s group of hikers. The author refers to eight works of art, including novels, stories, TV shows, and films, released between 1966 and 2020. This study is relevant as it reflects the need to analyse the reaction of art to a landmark event. No earlier attempts to analyse the works of art in question have been made. The author argues that Dyatlov’s Pass is acquiring the status of a myth in artistic culture. The analysis is conducted chronologically in accordance with the release of the works of art. Without exception and for every text, the author analyses the content of the version of the tragedy and the peculiarity of its representation to reveal the work’s aspiration to credibility and the message that seeks to create a perceptional response from the audience. The author reveals genre, content, and perception tendencies in the adaptation of the Ural myth. The way in which a work of art represents the event depends on the needs of the audience at a particular time in history. The author maintains that all the adaptations are meant for a mass audience. She also reconstructs the history of the function of the Dyatlov myth in popular literature over half a century. It is concluded that the artistic versions of the Dyatlov plot replace each other in accordance with a certain logic. Thus the interpretation that is tragic and heroising and claims to be authentic is replaced by its opposite, i. e., one that is de-heroising. This in turn is replaced by the tragic concept of the doom of the human being in the face of irresistible forces, both natural and man-made: such is followed by ironic meta-reflection and commercial trash that turns tragedy into farce. At the current moment, the artistic development of this plot has a tragic heroic interpretation. It is proved that the logic of the changing trends of processing of the Ural myth is determined by the needs of a particular moment. In the 1960s, mass culture was driven by the goal of neutralising social tension in the face of the inexplicable. In the early 2000s, this culture was driven by expressing a fear of military and technological disasters and the strange manifestations of traumatised psyches. In the 2010s, the main factors behind mass culture were distrust in governments and intelligence agencies, as well as fear of the inexplicable mysteries of the universe: this has become, among other things, the basis of outright commercial speculation. The beginning of the new decade is once again marked by an attempt to calm public consciousness by means of a natural version that moves away from the conspiracy and man-made versions.
On Rural Health in the USSR, Or On the Quality of Medical History
Authors: Zatravkin Sergei , Vishlenkova Elena
Published: July 2022

In this text, the authors debate the research carried out by D. Khristenko on early Soviet rural healthcare, questioning the trustworthiness of the sources, their interpretation, and the historical and biographical context of the narrative. The authors provide statistics that recorded a reduction in the Soviet healthcare system’s ability to treat the population. They analyse the reports of people’s commissars and heads of regional health departments, who opened the party’s eyes to the acute shortage of personnel, the critical condition of hospitals, and the low level of qualifications possessed by Soviet medical graduates. Referring to these testimonies and data, the researchers demonstrate that the Soviet healthcare of the 1920s–1930s was a problematic and acutely undersupplied area of public life. This was especially noticeable in rural Russia, which suffered significant human losses. This is probably a rare case in Russian history when the analysis of officials who headed the healthcare system turned out to be more critical than the accounts of occasional foreigners about their trips to the exotic country of the Soviets. This requires a special approach to the evaluation of the trustworthiness of such opinions and the extent of awareness of the problem.
I Am Suffocating аnd Starving Without Interior Life: Stepan Veselovskiy’s Ethical Principles While in Inner Emigration
Authors: Kholmatov Temurmalik
Published: July 2022

Drawing on ego-documents and scholarly works of the outstanding historian Stepan Borisovich Veselovskiy, this article analyzes the ethical principles he adhered to between the 1920s and 1950s, when he, though staying in the USSR, lived in inner emigration. Particular attention is paid to the concepts of “academic ethics” and “professional ethics”. The author studies both universal and specific value orientations of scholars within the framework of professional ethics. As applied to Veselovskiy’s scholarly work while in inner emigration, the relationship between professional ethics and the scholar’s epistemology is traced. Academic ethics is analyzed using Robert K. Merton’s theory of the ethos of science, which makes it possible to single out such imperatives as communism, disinterestedness, and organized skepticism in Veselovskiy’s scholarly work. In addition, the author considers the correlation between Veselovskiy’s ethical views as a person and as a scholar. The article concludes that it was the ethical principles Veselovskiy developed before the 1917 revolution that conditioned his choice of methods to study the past and his ways of constructing a scholarly text, and allowed him to become an inner emigrant in the face of rejection.

Published: July 2022

RESUMO Introdução: o ferimento diafragmático é um desafio para os cirurgiões. É uma lesão que pode ser isolada. É frequente nos traumas penetrantes toracoabdominais. Representa um desafio diagnóstico e a conduta ideal ainda não está bem estabelecida. A ocorrência da cicatrização espontânea dessas lesões é ainda muito discutida e mais ainda, se ocorre, qual o mecanismo de cicatrização? Objetivo: avaliar macroscopicamente e histologicamente a evolução natural das feridas perfuro cortantes equivalentes a 30% do diafragma esquerdo. Método: 50 espécimes de ratos, foram submetidos a procedimento cirúrgico e, após 30 dias, foram submetidos à eutanásia e aqueles que apresentaram tecido cicatricial no diafragma, as amostras foram submetidas a estudo histopatológico, usando as colorações de hematoxilina e eosina, tricrômico de Masson e Picrossirius para avaliar a presença de colágeno ou de fibras musculares (hiperplasia) na cicatriz. Resultados: verificou-se que ocorreu nas lesões diafragmáticas, a cicatrização em 90% dos ratos. Observamos também, a presença de fibrose em todas as amostras analisadas. Conclusão: ocorreu cicatrização espontânea na maioria das lesões diafragmáticas e a reação inflamatória representada pela presença de fibrose e deposição de colágeno foi observada em todas as nossas amostras. Não ocorreu hiperplasia de fibras musculares.
Natural evolution of perforating wounds of 30% extension of the left diaphragm and the anatomopathological characteristics of its healing. Experimental Study
Authors: LA-FALCE THIAGO SOUZA , MARTINI FILHO DINO , BOTTER MARCIO , SAAD JUNIOR ROBERTO
Published: July 2022

ABSTRACT Introduction: diaphragmatic injury is a challenge for surgeons. It is an injury that can be isolated. It is frequent in penetrating thoracoabdominal trauma. It represents a diagnostic challenge and the ideal approach is not yet well established. The occurrence of spontaneous healing of these injuries is still much discussed and even more, if it does, what is the healing mechanism? Objective: to macroscopically and histologically evaluate the natural evolution of perforation and cutting wounds equivalent to 30% of the left diaphragm. Method: 50 specimens of rats underwent a surgical procedure and, after 30 days, were euthanized and those that presented scar tissue in the diaphragm, the samples were submitted to histopathological study, using the hematoxylin and eosin stains, Massons trichrome and Picrosirius to assess the presence of collagen or muscle fibers (hyperplasia) in the scar. Results: it was found that healing occurred in diaphragmatic injuries in 90% of rats. We also observed the presence of fibrosis in all analyzed samples. Conclusion: Spontaneous healing occurred in most diaphragmatic injuries and the inflammatory reaction represented by the presence of fibrosis and collagen deposition was observed in all our samples. Muscle fiber hyperplasia did not occur.

Published: July 2022

Resumo Nesse estudo apresenta-se uma análise das infrações ambientais registradas no período de 2015 a 2017 na região da área de Proteção Ambiental (APA) da Serra de Baturité no estado do Ceará (Nordeste do Brasil - NEB) e a possível relação dessas infrações ambientais com a climatologia das chuvas e das temperaturas médias do ar (máximas e mínimas) observadas na região. Os resultados mostram que a região em estudo apresenta um período chuvoso bem definido no primeiro semestre do ano e que a maioria (aproximadamente 70%) das infrações ambientais (desmatamentos, incêndios florestais, construções irregulares e outras) ocorrem no período de menor observação das chuvas (segundo semestre do ano). Em adição, os registros de temperatura média do ar mostram uma tendência (qualitativa) de aumento dos valores na última década (2010 a 2018) em relação aos anos 70.
Ação conjugada de sílica de casca de arroz e hidróxido de cálcio em compósitos de cimento Portland: porosidade, compostos hidratados, reserva alcalina e resistência à compressão
Authors: Albino Campos Pamela , Farias de Medeiros Marcelo Henrique , Hoppe Filho Juarez
Published: July 2022

RESUMO A sílica de casca de arroz (SCA) é uma pozolana de grande potencial reativo que, ao ser adicionada em sistemas cimentícios, promove a redução da reserva alcalina. Dentro desse contexto, a incorporação de hidróxido de cálcio (CH) visa atenuar o impacto na reserva alcalina causado pela pozolana. O presente estudo visa analisar a influência da incorporação conjunta de SCA e CH (em diferentes teores) em sistemas cimentícios, sob os aspectos físico-químico e mecânico. Os resultados indicaram que a SCA em substituição parcial ao cimento provoca um retardo no ganho de resistência à compressão, porém não é prejudicial em idades mais avançadas. Também foi verificado que a SCA tende a aumentar a porosidade aparente do sistema. Em geral, a presença de SCA resultou na redução do teor de hidratos formados. A reserva alcalina foi reestabelecida quando os teores de SCA e CH foram iguais. O aumento da disponibilidade alcalina aumentou o teor de CH fixado por atividade pozolânica da SCA. A proporção de 10% de SCA e 15% de CH foi a combinação que melhor explorou o potencial reativo da pozolana, além de ter sido capaz de manter a porosidade e a reserva alcalina semelhantes à amostra de referência.

Published: July 2022

ABSTRACT Dental alloys in the oral cavity release ions by corrosive action of saliva, which are deposited in the lower part of the mouth, others diffuse through the gums and most of them pass to the gastrointestinal system. In the present work, nine dental alloys frequently used in our country by people with low resources (316L stainless steel, low and high copper silver amalgams, Co-Cr and Ni-Cr alloys, Cu and Ti-6Al-4V base alloys). Its open circuit corrosion potential was measured, its potentiodynamic polarization curves were plotted and corrosion products were analyzed by EDAX, finding Hg, Ag, Ni, Co, Cu, Zn and Si ions, which can affect the health of users, so it is recommended that dentists and dental technicians inform patients who suffer from hypersensitivity do not use alloys containing potentially allergic metals.

Abstract To mitigate the deleterious effects of salt stress, substances capable of acting as mitigators and/or inducers of tolerance to stress have been used, enabling the use of saline waters and contributing to the development of irrigated agriculture. In this context, the aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of foliar spraying with hydrogen peroxide as an attenuator of salt stress effects on soursop morphophysiology. The experiment was conducted under greenhouse conditions in Campina Grande - PB, Brazil, using a randomized block design, in a 4 × 4 factorial arrangement, whose treatments resulted from the combination of four levels of electrical conductivity of irrigation water - ECw (0.8 – control, 1.6, 2.4, and 3.2 dS m-1) and four concentrations of hydrogen peroxide - H2O2 (0, 10, 20, and 30 μM), with three replicates. Foliar application of hydrogen peroxide at a concentration of 10 µM increased growth, chlorophyll synthesis, and relative water content in the leaves and consequently reduced the foliar water saturation deficit of soursop irrigated with ECw up to 1.6 dS m-1. The concentration of hydrogen peroxide of 30 µM intensified the salt stress on the electrolyte leakage in the leaf blade and the photosynthetic pigments of soursop, 270 days after transplanting.

Abstract Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) from Heterorhabditidae and Steinernematidae families are extensively used to control insect pests. In Brazil, however, relatively few studies have identified and characterized these entomopathogens. The objective of this study was to identify and characterize an EPN isolate obtained from soil samples collected in the state of Paraná, Brazil. An isolate (UEL 08) of Heterorhabditis was detected in a soil sample collected from a pasture area cultivated with Brachiaria grass in Londrina, state of Paraná, Brazil (23°34ʹ311ʹʹS, 050°58ʹ298ʹʹW), using the insect-baiting technique with Galleria mellonella larvae as hosts. The nematode was identified through morphometric studies and molecular analyses based on amplification of the rDNA ITS region. Although we identified certain morphometric differences compared with the original description, the molecular data indicated that the ITS sequence obtained for the UEL 08 isolate is identical to the reference sequence of H. amazonensis (DQ665222) and presented 100% similarity. Thus, the findings of our morphological and molecular studies confirmed that the isolated nematode is H. amazonensis, which is the first time this species has been registered in Paraná. Study of the biological characteristics of H. amazonensis (UEL 08) revealed that the isolate has two distinct life cycles – one short (216 h) and the other long (288 h) – and produces two generations in both cycles. We observed that H. amazonensis (UEL 8) was pathogenic and virulent to the three evaluated hosts, although with different virulence against these hosts. The larvae of G. mellonella and Alphitobius diaperinus were more susceptible than adult Dichelops (Diacereus) melacanthus, with 100%, 85%, and 46% mortality, respectively. Furthermore, an in vivo production assay revealed a mean daily yield of 3.4 × 103 infective juveniles/g host larvae.
Does debt structure heterogeneity reduce the cost of capital?
Authors: Eça João Paulo Augusto , Albanez Tatiana
Published: July 2022

ABSTRACT This paper seeks to investigate the relationship between the level of debt structure heterogeneity and the cost of debt of publicly and privately held Brazilian companies in the period from 2020 to 2019. Debt structure heterogeneity is a relatively recent topic in the financial literature related to capital structure. As far as is known, the direct relationship between debt heterogeneity and the cost of debt has not yet been addressed in previous studies in the national and international literature. Research that broadens the knowledge regarding factors that attenuate the cost of debt is pertinent, especially in a context such as that of Brazil, in which high funding cost spreads end up compromising the economic viability of many projects and, consequently, the capacity for companies to generate value. The research results have impacts over the financial decision-making process, given the association identified between heterogeneity and debt cost, leading to reflections on the definition of a company’s capital structure. Thus, it is closely related with firm value, whose maximization is the object of interest of managers and shareholders. Panel data regression models were estimated in which the dependent variable is represented by the cost of debt and the explanatory variables are represented by the heterogeneity level of companies’ debt structure, which in turn is represented by two different proxies, aiming to give greater robustness to the results. The results are original and highlight the role of the debt structure in reducing the cost of debt. It is verified that the greater the debt heterogeneity, the lower companies’ cost of debt. This relationship is even more intense for companies that are more susceptible to high agency costs.
A heterogeneidade da estrutura de dívida reduz o custo de capital?
Authors: Eça João Paulo Augusto , Albanez Tatiana
Published: July 2022

RESUMO O artigo busca investigar a relação entre o grau de heterogeneidade da estrutura de dívida e o custo de capital de terceiros de empresas brasileiras abertas e fechadas no período de 2010 a 2019. A heterogeneidade da estrutura de dívida é uma temática relativamente recente na literatura de finanças relacionada à estrutura de capital. Assim, até onde se tem conhecimento, a relação direta entre heterogeneidade da dívida e custo de capital de terceiros ainda não foi abordada em estudos anteriores da literatura nacional e internacional. Pesquisas que ampliam o conhecimento acerca de fatores atenuantes do custo da dívida se mostram pertinentes, sobretudo em um contexto como o do Brasil, em que os altos spreads de captação acabam comprometendo a viabilidade econômica de muitos projetos e, consequentemente, a capacidade de geração de valor pelas empresas. Os resultados da pesquisa trazem impactos sobre o processo de tomada de decisão financeira, dada a associação identificada entre heterogeneidade e custo de capital de terceiros, gerando reflexões acerca da definição da estrutura de capital da empresa. Dessa forma, guarda estreita relação com o valor da firma, cuja maximização é objeto de interesse de gestores e acionistas. Foram estimados modelos de regressão com dados em painel em que a variável dependente é representada pelo custo da dívida e as variáveis explicativas pelo grau de heterogeneidade da estrutura de dívida das companhias, sendo essa representada por duas diferentes proxies, visando conferir maior robustez aos resultados. Os resultados são inéditos e ressaltam o papel da estrutura de dívida na redução do custo de capital de terceiros. Verifica-se que quanto maior a heterogeneidade da dívida, menor o custo de captação das companhias, sendo que essa relação é ainda mais intensa para empresas mais suscetíveis a altos custos de agência.
Changes in management accounting rules and routines in merger and acquisition operations,
Authors: Ritta Cleyton de Oliveira , Lavarda Carlos Eduardo Facin
Published: July 2022

ABSTRACT This study aims to understand the process of changes in management accounting rules and routines in merger and acquisition operations. The case provides empirical evidence on the post-acquisition context and the process of changes in management accounting in acquired companies, considering that the acquiring company tends to interfere through the coercive introduction of new management control systems. The research adds empirical evidence on the role of organizational principles established by the acquirer in the process of changes in the rules and routines in an acquired company. A change in management accounting is a complex process that involves the interaction of elements inside and outside organizations to promote organizational efficiency. The research evidence corroborates the literature by finding that changes in management accounting are motivated by the search for economic efficiency in acquired companies. However, the success of the change in rules and routines depends on various institutional elements that involve organizations, such as the coercive nature of the change driven by the new owners. The research is descriptive in nature and uses a qualitative approach, adopting a case study in a ceramic tiles company that underwent an acquisition operation. The acquisition operation brought a new philosophy of individual performance optimization that drove the institutionalization of the performance evaluation system in the acquired company. The new system was configured as a formal management accounting artifact focused on the individual. The results provide contributions for organizations, managers, and consultants that wish to implement management accounting artifacts in acquired companies by highlighting relevant elements from the institutional field and field of action for the management accounting change process.

Published: July 2022

RESUMO O objetivo da pesquisa é compreender o processo de mudança nas regras e rotinas da contabilidade gerencial em operações de fusão e aquisição. O caso traz evidências empíricas sobre o contexto de pós-aquisição e o processo de mudança da contabilidade gerencial nas empresas adquiridas, considerando que a empresa adquirente tende a interferir por meio da introdução coercitiva de novos sistemas de controle gerencial. A pesquisa acrescenta evidências empíricas sobre o papel de princípios organizacionais estabelecidos pela adquirente no processo de mudança de regras e rotinas em uma empresa adquirida. A mudança da contabilidade gerencial é um processo complexo que envolve a interação de elementos internos e externos das organizações para promover a eficácia organizacional. As evidências da pesquisa corroboram a literatura ao constatar que a mudança da contabilidade gerencial é motivada pela busca de eficiência econômica nas empresas adquiridas. Entretanto, o sucesso da mudança de regras e rotinas é dependente de diversos elementos institucionais que envolvem as organizações, como a natureza coercitiva da mudança impulsionada pelos novos proprietários. A pesquisa é de natureza descritiva, com abordagem qualitativa por meio do método de estudo de caso em uma empresa de revestimentos cerâmicos que passou pela operação de aquisição. A operação de aquisição trouxe nova filosofia de otimização de desempenho individual que impulsionou a institucionalização do sistema de avaliação de desempenho na empresa adquirida. O novo sistema se configurou como artefato formal de contabilidade gerencial com foco no indivíduo. Os resultados contribuem para organizações, gestores e consultores que desejam implantar artefatos de contabilidade gerencial em empresas adquiridas ao evidenciar elementos relevantes dos campos institucional e da ação para o processo de mudança da contabilidade gerencial.
Corruption and religiosity: a cross-country analysis mediated by accounting quality
Authors: Santos Simone Miranda dos , Lemes Sirlei
Published: July 2022

ABSTRACT This article aimed to identify the association between religiosity and corruption, mediated by accounting quality. Studies have examined the relationships between religiosity and accounting quality, religiosity and corruption, and accounting quality and corruption. No evidence was identified of the combined role of religiosity and accounting quality in corruption. The study contributes to understanding the influence of religiosity, as a social norm, on managers’ decisions, which consequently have an impact on accounting quality and corruption, thus broadening the knowledge about the mechanisms that can affect corruption. Grounded in Social Norms Theory and supported by studies on the relationship between religiosity and accounting quality, which have also been based on that theory, it was possible to discuss the influence of religiosity on managers’ decisions, with impacts on accounting quality and corruption. The sample is formed of 36 countries. To process the data from the period from 2010 to 2014, partial least squares path modeling was used. The evidence indicated that greater religiosity is associated with lower accounting quality and that, together, they are associated with greater corruption. The result can be explained by collectivism, a characteristic of more religious environments. It favors the development of collusion, which has the potential to damage accounting quality and facilitate the occurrence of corruption. In addition, more religious environments are associated with less monitoring, which can encourage the manipulation of accounting information and corruption. The study shows that the combined effect of religiosity and accounting quality in combatting corruption did not present efficiency. The evidence also enables us to evaluate the influence of religiosity, as a social norm, on managers’ decisions, with impacts on accounting quality and corruption.
Corrupção e religiosidade: uma análise cross-country mediada pela qualidade da contabilidade
Authors: Santos Simone Miranda dos , Lemes Sirlei
Published: July 2022

RESUMO O objetivo deste artigo foi identificar a associação da religiosidade com a corrupção, mediada pela qualidade da contabilidade. Estudos examinaram as relações entre religiosidade e qualidade da contabilidade, religiosidade e corrupção, e qualidade da contabilidade e corrupção. Não foram identificadas evidências do papel combinado da religiosidade e da qualidade da contabilidade na corrupção. O estudo contribui para o entendimento da influência da religiosidade como norma social na decisão dos gestores, o que, consequentemente, impacta a qualidade da contabilidade e a corrupção, ampliando o conhecimento sobre os mecanismos capazes de afetar a corrupção. Fundamentando-se na Teoria das Normas Sociais e respaldando-se em estudos sobre a relação entre religiosidade e qualidade da contabilidade, que também se ampararam nessa teoria, foi possível discutir a influência da religiosidade nas decisões dos gestores, com reflexos na qualidade da contabilidade e na corrupção. A amostra é formada por 36 países. Para o tratamento dos dados do período de 2010 a 2014, foi utilizada a modelagem de caminho por mínimos quadrados parciais. Evidências apontaram que maior religiosidade está associada à menor qualidade da contabilidade e que, em conjunto, associam-se com maior corrupção. O resultado pode ser explicado pelo coletivismo, característica de ambientes mais religiosos. Ele favorece o desenvolvimento do conluio, o qual tem potencial para prejudicar a qualidade da contabilidade e facilitar a ocorrência de corrupção. Além disso, ambientes mais religiosos estão associados a menor monitoramento, o que pode encorajar a manipulação de informações contábeis e a corrupção. O estudo demonstra que o efeito combinado da religiosidade com a qualidade da contabilidade no combate à corrupção não se apresentou eficiente. As evidências permitem, ainda, avaliar a influência da religiosidade nas decisões dos gestores, como norma social, com reflexos na qualidade da contabilidade e na corrupção.

A CONSTITUINTE PAULISTA DE 1891, A CONSTITUIÇÃO ESTADUAL DE 1891 E A EDUCAÇÃO ESCOLAR
Authors: Cury Carlos Roberto Jamil
Published: July 2022

RESUMO Este artigo pretende trazer à tona os debates a respeito da educação no Congresso Constituinte do Estado de São Paulo de 1891. Embora haja muita pesquisa sobre as leis infraconstitucionais relativas ao período de 1891-1930, há uma ausência significativa de referências a esses debates no Congresso Constituinte, bem como poucas referências aos artigos da própria Constituição. Esse estudo tomou como base da investigação os Anais do Congresso Constituinte no acervo da Assembleia Legislativa de São Paulo e no acervo digital do jornal O Estado de S. Paulo. As temáticas mais significativas relativas à educação foram o federalismo, a obrigatoriedade do ensino primário, o caráter oficial dos diplomas e a laicidade.
O ensino de história e o livro didático na geopolítica do conhecimento em Timor-Leste
Authors: Lucca Daniel De
Published: July 2022

Resumo Na segunda metade do século XX, Timor-Leste experimentou duas sucessivas eras de dominação estrangeira. Por meio do aparato escolar, o colonialismo português e a ocupação indonésia impuseram no território suas próprias narrativas e visões de mundo, subalternizando saberes e histórias timorenses. Este artigo problematiza o ensino de história em Timor-Leste independente, focalizando questões em torno do novo manual didático de história e dos dilemas envolvidos na reestruturação curricular de um sistema educacional que convive com legados da violência colonial e epistêmica. Considerando o caráter estratégico da educação histórica na construção do Estado-Nação e na formação de seus cidadãos, o livro didático será tratado como uma tecnologia pedagógica que autoriza certos discursos e desautoriza outros, fixando-os em textos impressos cujos efeitos e condições de produção pretende-se interrogar. Após discutir a elaboração e implementação do livro didático no contexto da cooperação internacional lusófona, propõe-se um exame circunscrito de seu conteúdo, localizando Timor-Leste na estrutura narrativa da história global e explorando as perspectivas adotadas sobre os principais sujeitos dessa história. Amparado na literatura especializada e na pesquisa de campo, o artigo oferece uma etnografia da recepção desses materiais, de modo a demonstrar como o ensino de história no país também é resultado de uma geopolítica do conhecimento situada em múltiplas escalas, na qual a colonialidade dos agentes externos, que intervém nas agendas educacionais nacionais, tem de negociar com as práticas locais que se apropriam e adulteram as histórias que ali chegam.

Two-piece implants unavoidably present a microgap between the implant and the abutment interface. Although numerous modalities have been attempted to overcome this situation, the implant abutment interface still remains a critical point for microbial colonization, which starts an inflammatory cascade of events eventually compromising the implants. Throughout our life, cells in all biological systems are unprotected to oxidative stress leading to the formation of Reactive oxygen species which is of concern when it comes to placing implants in patients who are periodontally compromised. This necessitates the development of alternative therapeutic modalities, which could counteract as well as prevent the microbial overload and ROS generation thereby improving the longevity of implants. To evaluate and assess the antibacterial, antioxidant and anti inflammatory effectiveness of quercetin-loaded titanium nanocomposites as coatings over healing abutments. Quercetin-loaded titanium nanocomposites were synthesized using green synthesis and confirmation was done using UV spectroscopy. Healing abutments were coated with the formulated nanocomposites, an intra-oral environment was simulated by thermocycling. Their antibacterial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and cytotoxicity were assessed using standard tests. Healing abutments were coated with the formulated nanocomposites, an intra-oral environment was simulated by thermocycling. They showed potent antibacterial, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties, which could prove beneficial in a variety of clinical scenarios in which there is a high risk for implant failure during early osseointegration.
Modelling microalgae biofouling on porous buildings materials: a novel approach

Published: July 2022

A correct assessment of microalgae growth on porous building materials (i.e.: fired bricks, sandstones and limestones) can provide a useful tool for researchers and practitioners. In fact, it may help predicting the biofouling damage extension and it can assist the experts in a correct planning of maintenance interventions to limit costs. The literature regarding such issue outlined the Avrami’s model as the most recurrent one, even considering the influence of biocidal treatments on the substrate. However, it seems to have some limitations when the growth is very fast or, conversely, when the latency time is extended over the time. Therefore, a different modelling approach is here proposed, by using the logistic function (extensively used i.e. in population growth). Results reveal that the logistic function seems to succeed in better modelling the available experimental data. Moreover, it seems to overcome the limits of the Avrami’s model, as well as to be less influenced by the main drivers of microalgae growth, such as porosity and roughness of the substrate, biocides treatments and environmental conditions (temperature).
Complement C3a and C3a Receptor Activation Mediates Podocyte Injuries in the Mechanism of Primary Membranous Nephropathy
Authors: Gao Shuang , Cui Zhao , Zhao Ming-hui
Published: July 2022

Significance Statement

Membranous nephropathy (MN) is the leading cause of adult nephrotic syndrome, in which the complement system is highly activated. This paper describes the discovery that the C3a/C3aR pathway is a crucial effector of complement-mediated podocyte injuries in MN. Levels of plasma C3a and glomerular C3aR are elevated in patients with MN compared with healthy controls and are associated with severity and prognosis. In vitro, C3a from MN patients’ plasma damages the physiologic function and cellular activity of podocytes, which C3aR antagonists block. In vivo, C3aR antagonists can also attenuate renal injuries of Heymann nephritis (a classic disease model of MN) rats. Collectively, C3aR blockade may be a potentially viable treatment for this disease.

Background

The complement system is highly activated in primary membranous nephropathy (MN). Identifying the complement components that damage podocytes has important therapeutic implications. This study investigated the role of C3a and the C3a receptor (C3aR) in the pathogenesis of MN.

Methods

C3aR expression in kidneys and circulating levels of C3a of MN patients were examined. Human podocyte damage was assessed after exposure to MN plasma +/− C3aR blockade (SB290157, JR14a). C3aR antagonists were administered to rats with Heymann nephritis on day 0 or after proteinuria. Clinical and pathologic parameters, specific IgG and complement activation, and podocyte injuries were then assessed.

Results

In the glomeruli, C3aR staining merged well with podocin. Overexpression of C3aR correlated positively with proteinuria, serum creatinine, and no response to treatments. Human podocytes exposed to MN plasma showed increased expression of PLA2R, C3aR, and Wnt3/β-catenin, reduced expression of synaptopodin and migration function, downregulated Bcl-2, and decreased cell viability. C3aR antagonists could block these effects. In Heymann nephritis rats, C3aR blockade attenuated proteinuria, electron-dense deposition, foot process width, and glomerular basement membrane thickening in glomeruli. The increased plasma C3a levels and overexpression of C3aR were also alleviated. Specific, but not total, IgG levels decreased, with less deposition of rat IgG in glomeruli and subsequent reduction of C1q, factor B, and C5b-9.

Conclusion

C3a anaphylatoxin is a crucial effector of complement-mediated podocyte damage in MN. The C3aR antagonist may be a potentially viable treatment for this disease.

Kültürel Perspektiften Diyarbakır Ermeni Müziği
Authors: ŞEN Mehmet Emin , KAPLAN Bilal
Published: July 2022

Diyarbakır Ermeni toplumu yaşamış olduğu topraklarda tarih boyunca gerçekleşmiş birçok diasporalar ve değişimlere karşın, kültürel zenginliğini günümüze kadar ulaştırmıştır. Osmanlı dönemiyle birlikte Ermeniler, Anadolu’nun birçok yerleşkesinde Türkler ile kültürel birliktelik sürdürerek örf, adet, edebiyat ve musiki açısından Türk kültürünü de örnek almışlardır. Birçok medeniyete ev sahipliği yapan Diyarbakır, Ermeni toplumuna burada yaşayan toplumla iç içe yaşam olanağı sağlamıştır. Ermeni toplumu ve Diyarbakır halkı, süreç içerisinde birbirleriyle yakın ilişki kurarak birçok konuda olduğu gibi müzik alanında da birbirlerini etkilemiş ve zengin bir müzik kültürünün ortaya çıkmasını sağlamıştır. Literatür taraması ve alan araştırmasında Ermeni toplumu müzik insanları ile yapılan görüşmelerden elde edilen veriler ışığında oluşturulan çalışma, Diyarbakır’da yaşayan Ermeni toplumu özelinde gerçekleştirilen müzik uygulamalarının Türk müziği ile olan etkileşimi kültürel perspektifte değerlendirilerek, icrası sağlanan eserlerin ağırlıklı olarak aşk, ağıt, maya, hoyrat, uzun hava ve halk oyunları gibi temalardan oluştuğu tespitlerini içermektedir. Sanatın en geniş etkileşimi olan müzik, bu coğrafyada yaşayan toplumların müzik kültürünü yıllarca içinde barındırma duygusunu yansıtmaktadır. Diyarbakır’da yaşayan Ermeni toplumunun müzik dinamikleri, ortak olmayan bir dil ile karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Burada ortaya çıkan türkülerin sözel farklılıklarının asıl sebebi, iki farklı toplumun farklı iki dili konuşmasıdır. Müziğin yoruma açık üslubu ve anlam zenginliği aynı sanat perspektifi ile ayrı dillerde ifade edilmektedir. Araştırmada toplumların önemli yapı taşlarından biri olan müzik ögesi, sosyolojik yapıda bıraktığı izleri ile kültürel perspektifte Diyarbakır Ermenileri özelinde betimlenmiştir.

Published: July 2022

The study investigates the rate of reading poverty after the COVID-19 pandemic school shutdown and specific intervention strategies for lower primary school pupils in the southern province and western area of Sierra Leone. Randomised experiments of mixed-methods reading interventions for 100 struggling readers in class 5 and 20 English teachers selected from 10 primary schools (5 in the south and 5 in the Western Area) were carried out. The rate of reading poverty and proficiency was first determined in the selected classes using the Access Center method of reading assessment. Two intervention strategies were administered, and the scores for each intervention strategy were measured and compared. The findings reveal that over 70% of the pupils tested in reading in the south mispronounced or skipped five or more words when reading. The overall scores for pupils in the Western Area were relatively lower (a majority scoring less than 30%). The READ 180 reading intervention strategy is recommended to be introduced as the preferred teaching method at the pre-primary and primary school levels in Sierra Leone because of its proven potentiality to increase reading proficiency more than the popular Direct-teaching Model.
