Chicago, 1893 - Sevilla, 1992: La Exposición Universal Colombina del siglo XX sobre la era de los descubrimientos
Authors: Urrutia Núñez Angel
Published: October 2024

La Exposición Universal de Sevilla (1987-1992), realizada para conmemorar el V Centenario del Descubrimiento de América con el lema La Era de los Descubrimientos, tuvo su precedente más inmediato en la Exposición Universal Colombina de Chicago (1890-1893). Los planteamientos diferentes de sus organizaciones, pero también la aparición de problemas semejantes, hacen deseable un enfoque que tenga en cuenta esta referencia. Un estudio balance de la Exposición de Sevilla, que sin duda se integrará también en la Historia de las Exposiciones Universales, se presenta en este "Anuario" con la intención de beneficiar a futuros investigadores.
La iconografía musical de los Beatos de los siglos X y XI y su procedencia
Authors: Álvarez Martínez María del Rosario
Published: October 2024

Las diversas influencias iconográficas que presentan las miniaturas de los Beatos son uno de los temas más debatidos por los historiadores del arte. Pretendemos tan sólo iluminar el problema a través del análisis de la iconografía musical de doce códices. Ésta es de gran interés para el musicólogo, ya que recoge escenas de la vida musical profana, que por primera vez aparecen en temas apocalípticos, en las que se introducen instrumentos musicales de orígenes diferentes (islámicos, coptos, bizantinos del área georgiana-caucásica y europeos) y de épocas también diferentes (de la Antigüedad tardía y de la alta y plena Edad Media). El estudio de este conjunto organológico nos demuestra que las fuentes utilizadas por los miniaturistas han sido diversas y, que sólo en pocos ejemplos se puede hablar de una copia directa del objeto representado. Nuestro análisis se ha basado tanto en fuentes iconográficas como en las que nos proporciona la etnomusicología.
Arte y astrología en Salamanca a finales del siglo XV
Authors: García Avilés Alejandro
Published: October 2024

Las Tabulae ad meridianum Salamantinum que se conservan en la Bodleian Library de Oxford (ms. Can. Misc. 27) constituyen una compilación de tablas astronómicas realizada hacia 1460 para uso de los estudiantes de la cátedra de astronomía de la Universidad de Salamanca. Sus ilustraciones son una versión gótica de la habitual iconografía islámica de los signos del zodiaco, distinta de la que representan las pinturas de Fernando Gallego para la Biblioteca de la Universidad de Salamanca (hoy en las Escuelas menores). La iconografía de esta bóveda astrológica, que conmemora la fundación de la biblioteca, auna dos tradiciones astrológicas occidentales: una iconografía planetaria cuyo origen se halla en ciertos grabados florentinos conocidos como "Planetas Finiguerra", y una iconografía de las constelaciones derivada en último término de las ilustraciones del Liber introductorius de Miguel Escoto. La conjunción de ambas tradiciones se realizó por primera vez en los grabados de la primera edición ilustrada del Poeticon astronomicon de Higino (Venecia: Erhardt Ratdolt, 1482). El profesor Santiago Sebastián postuló una edición de 1485 de la obra de Higino como fuente de las pinturas salmantinas, y ello no sin juiciosas reservas, a pesar de las cuales la historiografía posterior ha tomado este dato como elemento de precisión cronológica. Varios incunables de la década de 1480 retoman las figuras de la edición de Ratdolt total o parcialmente, pero una comparación detallada (que se ofrece en apéndice) demuestra que ninguna de las ediciones citadas coincide plenamente con las figuras de Fernando Gallego. En la Baja Edad Media se trató de lograr un siempre inestable equilibrio entre astrología y cristianismo. La astrología natural (con fines básicamente médicos), tolerada por la Iglesia, se convirtió en parte del currículum académico. La bóveda astrológica de la biblioteca salmantina pretendía expresar en términos figurativos el sentido exegético conferido en la época al versículo del Salmo VIII inscrito en su banda inferior ("... videbo celos tuos... "): que la contemplación científica del cielo no debe hacer olvidar que las maravillas que en él se contemplan no proceden sino de Dios.

En torno al "Último día de Sagunto" de Francisco Domingo Marqués y el "Mosaico de Alejandro"
Authors: Quesada Sanz Fernando
Published: October 2024

Proponemos en este artículo que la composición del cuadro de F. Domingo Marqués El último día de Sagunto (1869) deriva directamente -sin negar otras influencias pictóricas más o menos contemporáneas al artista- de la composición del famoso mosaico pompeyano conocido como Mosaico de Alejandro. Por otro lado mostramos cómo este cuadro, pese al afán de verismo de la 'pintura de historia', es un reflejo de lo poco que las Ciencias de la Antigüedad de mediados del XIX conocían sobre la vestimenta, arquitectura y armas de los antiguos celtíberos. Por último, argumentamos cómo se produce en la obra una contradicción entre la pasión por el mundo clásico entendido como la cultura de Grecia y Roma en sus momentos de esplendor, y la realidad de la pobreza material comparativa de los antiguos habitantes de Iberia.
El verdadero significado del aspecto de los edificios: De lo simbólico a la realidad funcional, la Iglesia encastillada
Authors: Bango Torviso Isidro G.
Published: October 2024

Al terminar la Edad Media muchos de los grandes templos de la Península adoptaban el aspecto de aguerridos baluartes, resultando muy paradójica esta imagen militar con las pías funciones a las que estaban destinados. Remodelaciones acomodándose al devenir de los estilos modernos y, sobre todo, restauraciones supuestamente puristas llevadas a cabo desde el siglo XIX han hecho desaparecer el aspecto de fortificación en la mayoría de los templos. En las iglesias altomedievales las formas de arquitectura militar responden a un intencionado lenguaje simbólico, que terminará por perder estas connotaciones bélicas e integrarse en un léxico característico de los edificios religiosos. Llegará un momento que el símbolo dará paso a la realidad. Las implicaciones del clero secular y regular en los conflictos de la sociedad obligarán a que catedrales, parroquias o iglesias monasteriales adopten formas encastilladas muy diferentes a supuestos aspectos teóricos de la arquitectura templaria de su época. El interés por una iglesia integrada en las murallas de la ciudad o del barrio, constituyendo un bastión fundamental en la fortificación urbana, siendo reducto de defensa de los vecinos o de los derechos del señor feudal, tanto el obispo como el abad, llevan a los constructores a edificar un alcázar antes que un cimborrio, una torre para la "máquina de guerra" mejor que una turris signorum. Por todas estas circunstancias, las "restauraciones puristas", muchas veces no se corresponden con la realidad arquitectónica del monumento.
Una propuesta de reconstrucción del Retablo de las Ánimas de la iglesia de San Miguel de Peñafiel
Authors: Martín Ansón María Luisa
Published: October 2024

En este artículo se plantea la reconstrucción en su estado inicial de un retablo perteneciente al ámbito palentino de influencia burgalesa del primer tercio del siglo XVI, profundamente alterado en el siglo XVIII. Algunas de las tablas incorporadas al retablo actual se relacionan con el primitivo retablo mayor y el Maestro de Osma. Asimismo, se pone de manifiesto la práctica frecuente de inspirarse en grabados para la concepción de las escenas.

Manuel Fernández Acevedo (Madrid, 1744-1800): un pintor desconocido al servicio de Carlos IV
Authors: Gutiérrez Pastor Ismael
Published: October 2024

En las siguientes líneas se trata de reconstruir a través de unos pocos documentos y de unas cuantas obras firmadas la personalidad de Manuel Femández Acevedo (1744-1800), pintor que trabajó al servicio del rey Carlos IV en las casas de campo de El Escorial, El Pardo y Aranjuez, así como en los palacios de Madrid, La Granja de San Ildefonso y San Lorenzo del Escorial. Su figura había quedado olvidada bajo el mayor protagonismo de sus contemporáneos, especialmente de Vicente Gómez. La organización de un catálogo provisional de su obra ayuda a destacar su estilo académico y su estética Rococó, aplicado a un tipo de pintura fundamentalmente religiosa y devocional, pero también se explora su grado de participación en las obras contratadas por su contemporáneos para satisfacer las necesidades y el gusto de Carlos IV, tanto durante su etapa como Príncipe de Asturias, como posteriormente durante su reinado.
Modernidad y tradición en la estampa española del siglo XIX
Authors: Vega González Jesusa
Published: October 2024

Las investigaciones que tuvieron lugar en la segunda mitad del siglo XVIII en relación con la imagen impresa permitieron el desarrollo de técnicas novedosas más rápidas y baratas como la xilografía y la litografía. En España se hizo un esfuerzo por introducir la novedosa litografía pero la situación política impidió el desarrollo natural de esta técnica, retrasó la llegada de la xilografía y obstaculizó la renovación de la enseñanza del arte del grabado. No obstante hubo momentos en los cuales todas estas técnicas fueron introducidas por pioneros. Finalmente tuvo lugar el resurgir del arte del aguafuerte y con ello el nuevo concepto de estampa propio de la época contemporánea.

Authors: Swedo Elizabeth A. , Holditch Niolon Phyllis , Anderson Kayla N. , Li Jingjing , Brener Nancy , Mpofu Jonetta , Aslam Maria V. , Underwood J. Michael
Published: October 2024

OBJECTIVE

Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are preventable, potentially traumatic events with lifelong negative impacts. Population-level data on ACEs among adolescents have historically relied on parent reports and excluded abuse-related ACEs. We present the self-reported prevalence of ACEs among a large population-based sample of US high school students.

METHODS

Using cross-sectional, state-representative data from 16 states that included core ACE questions on their 2021 Youth Risk Behavior Survey, we estimate the prevalence of 8 individual (lifetime emotional, physical, or sexual abuse, physical neglect, witnessed intimate partner violence, household substance use, household poor mental health, incarcerated parent or guardian) and cumulative ACEs (0, 1, 2–3, ≥4) among a large population-based sample of adolescents, overall and by demographic characteristics (sex, race and ethnicity, age, sexual orientation).

RESULTS

Emotional abuse (65.8%), household poor mental health (36.1%), and physical abuse (32.5%) had the highest prevalence. ACEs were very common, with 80.5% of adolescents experiencing at least 1 ACE and 22.4% experiencing ≥4 ACEs. Experiencing ≥4 ACEs was highest among adolescents who were female (27.7%), non-Hispanic multiracial (33.7%), non-Hispanic American Indian or Alaska Native (27.1%), gay or lesbian (36.5%), bisexual (42.1%), or who described their sexual identity some other way or were not sure of their sexual identity (questioning) (36.5%).

CONCLUSIONS

Self-reported ACE estimates among adolescents exceed previously published parent-reported estimates. ACEs are not equally distributed, with important differences in individual and cumulative ACEs by demographic characteristics. Collecting ACE data directly from adolescents at the state level provides actionable data for prevention and mitigation.
The role of family health, socio-economic status, and heritability of neurodevelopmental disorders in the severity of cognitive dysfunctions in school-age children with ADHD
Authors: Walenista Wiktoria , Sitnik-Warchulska Katarzyna , Lipowska Małgorzata , Szwed Marcin , Izydorczyk Bernadetta
Published: October 2024

Introduction and objective: Little is known about the association between socioeconomic status, alcohol and tobacco use, and specific cognitive functions, like attention, working memory or executive functions in attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. We aimed to determine if socioeconomic adversity and unhealthy family behaviours are predictors of cognitive functions in children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. Materials and methods: We tested 176 Polish children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder aged 10–13 using the PU1 Battery of Cognitive Functions, while the children’s parents completed a questionnaire on socioeconomic status and alcohol and tobacco use at home during their child’s life stages. We applied cluster analysis of family types and moderation analysis that tested the heritability of neurodevelopmental disorders in family interactions. Results: We identified three family types that raise children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder: 1) families with higher socioeconomic status, lower level of unhealthy family behaviours, and average levels of children’s cognitive functioning, 2) families with low socioeconomic status, high level of unhealthy family behaviours, and average levels of children’s cognitive functioning, and 3) families with average socioeconomic status, low level of unhealthy family behaviours and low level of children’s cognitive functioning. We found no statistically significant associations between family predictors, the moderator variable, and cognitive functions in children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. Conclusions: The results of our study contrast with the large amount of evidence that shows a link between cognitive dysfunctions in children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder and socioeconomic status and alcohol and tobacco use.
Ecos de una ausencia. Usos del silencio en el discurso religioso hispánico a principios de la Edad moderna
Authors: Zauner-Espinosa Sergi
Published: October 2024

La transformación de la religión y la devoción representa uno de los grandes cambios culturales que marcó el paso a la Época Moderna. En este proceso, la espiritualidad y la oración mental se consideraron de forma creciente rasgos de lo que desde entonces se entiende como fe verdadera. Tanto la estima por el silencio como su práctica tuvieron que jugar un papel fundamental en este escenario. Partiendo de esta premisa, el presente artículo explora los usos del término “silencio” en el discurso religioso hispánico de la modernidad temprana. Su objetivo principal es examinar los significados de esta palabra y los contextos en que aparece con el fin de arrojar luz sobre las metáforas atribuidas al silencio en tanto que recurso discursivo y como experiencia acústica.
Benedicto XVI y el ateísmo contemporáneo
Authors: Conesa Francisco
Published: October 2024

La reflexión de Ratzinger-Benedicto XVI sobre el ateísmo contemporáneo es amplia y de gran profundidad. La cuestión del ateísmo estuvo presente desde el inicio de su quehacer teológico. Siempre tuvo la intención de trazar puentes entre la fe y la razón humana y no tuvo miedo de enfrentarse a las objeciones y dificultades que procedían del ámbito de la razón y la ciencia. En este artículo se expone la comprensión del ateísmo contemporánea por parte de Benedicto XVI a partir de los diálogos que mantuvo con tres destacados pensadores ateos: Paolo Flores d’Arcais (2000), Jürgen Habermas (2004) y Piergiorgio Odifreddi (2013-2021).

Ensino-aprendizagem de inglês: vias transdisciplinares e complexas para a construção do bem viver
Authors: Muriana Marina Borges , Costa Solange Lopes Vinagre
Published: October 2024

Transdisciplinaridade (NICOLESCU, 2013) e complexidade (MORIN 2015a) são vias possíveis para práticas educacionais na perspectiva da Linguística Aplicada (FREIRE, 2020) e podem contribuir para que as situações de ensino-aprendizagem sejam significativas em contextos que se pautem em um olhar aberto em relação a teorias, metodologias e práticas sociais. Considerando tais premissas, elaboramos e ministramos a alunos de escolas de idiomas duas atividades para a prática da língua inglesa que, acreditamos, tenham contribuído para a construção de conhecimento pertinente e que, potencialmente, podem inspirar professores na elaboração de materiais, buscando trilhar, em suas aulas, caminhos para a conquista do bem viver (MORIN, 2015b). Antes de apresentá-las, iniciamos este artigo com os fundamentos da transdisciplinaridade e complexidade, e sua articulação com a Linguística Aplicada.

Heritage clay brick characterization and assessment with compatible contemporary bricks for retrofitting of heritage monuments
Authors: Guljit Singh  , Varinder Singh Kanwar  , Anshu Tomar
Published: October 2024

Various mughal architecture clay brick masonry monuments were built in the Punjab state of northern India from the late 14th to late 19th centuries. Nanakshahi monuments (era of 1st Sikh Guru-Guru Nanak Dev Ji) are gigantic clay brick masonry structures constructed of lime and lime surkhi mortar (a powdered form of red burnt clay brick). Currently, this study is focused on identifying a suitable material for repairing and strengthening heritage clay brick monuments. Using the mineralogical composition of heritage Nanakshahi clay bricks (NSCB), the study compares them with contemporary clay bricks (CCB) from the same region, and then compares them to newly prepared clay bricks (NPCB), which have similar composition and dimensions to NSCB. The X-ray fluorescence confirms that the NSCB samples of southeast Punjab have an elemental composition consisting of filler SiO2 and binding elements like Al2O3, Fe2O3, CaO, K2O and MgO. The average density of ancient NSCB and CCB has been found to be similar; the ancient NSCB has a lower water absorption rate and porosity in contrast to the present-day clay bricks. The Initial rate of absorption  of an ancient NSCB is quite higher. In comparison to the heritage NSCB, the CCB's compressive strength value is lower and uniaxial compression strength of newly prepared clay bricks (NPCB) of similar mineralogical composition and dimensions is comparable to that of the heritage NSCB from Punjab districts. The significance of the study is to suggest a compatible material for strengthening of heritage clay brick monuments of northern India.
Towards robust crop disease detection for complex real field background images
Authors: Bhagwat Radhika , Dandawate Yogesh
Published: October 2024

Most of the work done in image processing-based crop disease detection focuses on images with plain background. This paper presents a technique for crop disease detection for complex real field background images. A segmentation technique is presented to extract leaf patches from the entire image. Transform domain cepstral analysis is proposed for obtaining cepstral coefficients, to attain two level classifications. The first level classifies the crop species while the second level classifies the species into healthy leaf or leaf with specific type of disease. The work is tested on three crops Banana, Soybean and Grape and is checked on plain background laboratory images and on complex real field images. Suggested technique give species level accuracy of 94.33 %, 94.11 % and 98.44 % and disease level average accuracy of 97.75 %, 96.66 % and 97.95 % for Banana, Soybean and Grape, respectively. Comparison with standard features like texture and shape indicate that the presented technique gives the best results for both plain and complex background images suggesting its utilization in crop disease detection to reduce the agricultural and economic losses.
Nonlinear analysis of three-dimensional hyperelastic problems using radial point interpolation method
Authors: Le Nguyen Hoai Linh , Lo Vay Siu , Truong Thien Tich , Nguyen Nha Thanh
Published: October 2024

Hyperelastic materials are primarily common in real life as well as in industry applications, and studying this kind of material is still an active research area. Naturally, the characteristic of hyperelastic material will be expressed when it undergoes large deformation, so the geometrical nonlinear effect should be considered. To analyze the behavior of hyperelastic material, the Neo-Hookean model is imposed in this study because of its simplicity. The model shows the nonlinear behavior when the deformation becomes large due to the nonlinear displacement-strain relation. This constitutive relation also gives a good correlation with experimental data. This study performs a meshless method, namely the radial point interpolation method (RPIM), to analyze the nonlinear behavior of Neo-Hookean hyperelastic material under a finite deformation state in three-dimensional space. The standard Newton-Raphson technique is applied to obtain the nonlinear solutions. Unlike mesh-based approaches, the meshless method shows its advantages in large deformation problems due to its mesh independence. In this paper, the numerical results of three-dimensional problems that undergo large deformation will be calculated and validated with solutions derived from previous studies. By investigating the obtained results, the superior ability of RPIM in hyperelastic problems can be proved.
Terrorism and institutional soft target attacks in Nigeria: the way forward
Authors:   National Open University of Nigeria, Eka Miracle , Ogbonnaya Dickson ,   National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN), Oke-Mosan, Abeokuta, Ogun State, Nigeria
Published: October 2024

Almost five decades have passed since after the Nigerian civil war that claimed closed to five million lives between Nigerian and Biafran separatists. Yet, rather than learn lessons learnt to forestall peace, it is worrisome that the escalation of terror against state and its institutions has taken heightened dimensions at various times. It is this worry that gave vent to this theoretical paper that utilizes content analysis to explore relevant parameters that are factorial to this dangerous escalation of terror in Nigeria particularly targeting its institutions as helpless soft targets for attack. Consequently, the paper questioned institutional alienation, inequality, and unhealthy politicization of religion and education as largely responsible for the increasing terror attacks. Drawing from these insights, the paper using induction and deduction tools, outlined major ways forward in addressing the menace of terror. Inclusive governance, income redistribution, secularism as a functional state policy and liberalization of access to education according literature, were strong factors that point to solutions that can lead productive engagement and inclusive involvement in governance and decision-making process in order to ultimately encourage the de-escalation of terror attacks against state and its institutions.
Determinants of the sense of security in the local community
Authors:   WSB Merito University in Gdańsk, Poland, Stefański Marek
Published: October 2024

The sense of security is the subject of scientific research and is analyzed by various government institutions and non-governmental organizations. In the research context, it refers to both the subjective feeling of individual security and social security. The results of individual studies should be a source of inspiration for political decision-makers and people in power, both at the government and local levels, in the process of developing programs for shaping security in local communities. A high level of subjective sense of security directly affects the quality of social and individual life. In addition, test results can play an important role in assessing the accuracy of diagnosis, helping to identify the most important concerns of the individual and society. This information is necessary to effectively shape strategies aimed at improving the quality of life and safety of citizens.
Executive-legislative interface and functioning of political institutions in Romania
Authors:   Amity University, Noida. India, Bharti Mukesh Shankar
Published: October 2024

The purpose of this study is to discuss the struggle between the prime minister and the president to exercise legislative and executive power. According to the constitution of Romania, there is a clear division of power between the President and the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister is the head of government but the President also plays a key role in the country. There are many examples of interference in legislative work by the President of Romania. The paper discusses power sharing between the legislative and executive power of the Prime minister and the President of Romania. Because of the semi-presidential system in the country, the President of Romania has equal legislative power as the Prime minister. This has in practice led to major contradictions in the functioning of the Romanian political system. The paper analyses the substantial power that the Constitution vests the President with affects the Prime Minister’s role in the country. That is why Romania’s democratic journey has been one of power struggle between the President and the Prime Minister. Apart from the many conflicts between the President and Prime Minister, there is a massive debate on corruption which has also critically affected institution-building in this new democracy. There are discussions about the pillar of democratic bodies which is fragile and lacks trust in political institutions.
Psychometric Analysis and Validation of the Job Insecurity Scale in Universities
Authors: Ferreira Gomes Aléxia , Veloso Ana , Costa Patrício
Published: October 2024

Abstract There are some instruments in the literature to measure job insecurity, including the Job Insecurity Scale (JIS). The article's objective is to present the JIS psychometric properties and the validation of the scale for the Brazilian and Portuguese populations in higher education. 335 workers from public universities participated, 171 of which were technicians and 164 were professors. Confirmatory analysis, group comparisons, and reliability estimates were used. The results indicate an acceptable fit for the JIS and prove that Portuguese and Brazilian workers have statistically significant differences in the quantitative dimension of the JIS. The instrument is a valid measure for assessing the perception of insecurity among workers at public universities but requires care when using it in comparative studies between countries.
What the National Curriculum Guidelines for Teacher Training say about Teacher Professional Development in Brazil
Authors: Vasconcelos Clenya Ruth Alves , Rocha Solange Helena Ximenes
Published: October 2024

ABSTRACT This article focuses on the analysis of Teaching Professional Development (DPD) and the curriculum policy currently in force in the Brazilian educational scenario. The main objective of this study is to understand how the documents that deal with curriculum policies in Brazil outline and evaluate the Teacher Professional Development (DPD) in teacher training courses, as well as to investigate the thematic focus attributed to the DPD in these documents. The method employed is based on a bibliographic approach supported by documentary research. The critical analysis of these documents directs a DPD based on the acquisition, by teachers, of competencies and skills supported by homological training strategies. We highlight as beneficial the recognition of continuous development, which goes beyond the episodic conception of education. In this context, we underline the collaborative approach as a fundamental strategy for Teacher Professional Development.
‘One Must not Die to Don’t Kill’: the War Machine
Authors: Silva Lúcia Almeida da , Amador Fernanda Spanier
Published: October 2024

ABSTRACT This paper discusses health promotion and the production of ways to work in the present, especially under the scope of public education in times of neoliberal policies’ intensification. The capitalist machine produces illness throughout work processes, nevertheless we assert that something always gets away and overflows, as production norms, setting resistances that operate what we denominate the war machine. Throughout the research, carried out with municipal public teachers, we propose the understanding that this machine is built of these resistances, by means of which people create coping mechanisms for work controversies, inventing new life norms and expanding health power in/by the craft.
Public School Teachers' Pedagogical Trends in a City of Rio Grande do Sul
Authors: Bagestero Paulo Sérgio Pereira , Roos Daniel Henrique , Puntel Robson Luiz
Published: October 2024

ABSTRACT This study analyzed the pedagogical trends adopted by teachers of the final years of Elementary Education in peripheral schools in a city of Rio Grande do Sul and whether they promote the democratization of knowledge. Structured questionnaires were applied in six schools, with the participation of thirteen teachers. Three liberal trends were identified in 85% of the speeches, with the liberal renewed progressive trend being predominant in 46% of them. It was concluded that these trends do not contribute to the democratization of schools, as they have assumptions unrelated to student emancipation. It is suggested that similar studies be carried out in other regions, contexts, and levels of education.
Competencies in High School Curriculum: dialogues with Hannah Arendt
Authors: Negreiros Heitor Lopes , Auer Franceila , Araújo Vania Carvalho de , Santos Wagner dos
Published: October 2024

ABSTRACT This article problematizes the terms competencies and skills present in the curricular regulations for high school, in articulation with the thought of Hannah Arendt in her essay The Crisis in Education. It adopts the document analysis of the National Curriculum Guidelines for High School (1998; 2012), the National Curriculum Parameters for High School and the National Common Curricular Base for High School (2018). It uses the IRAMUTEQ software to aid the analysis. The results point to the prevalence of private interests over the common good, aimed at the immediate insertion of young people in the labor market and towards a conception of citizenship that is close to market ideals. It is concluded that the strong presence of these competencies reflects the crisis of modernity in education, revealing the immediatist character arising from contemporary presentism.

Ensino, Cuidado e Educação Inclusiva: uma perspectiva dos estudos da deficiência
Authors: Baglieri Susan
Published: October 2024

RESUMO Este ensaio descreve como o projeto global de educação inclusiva pode avançar ao considerar como a ética do cuidado e a compreensão sobre o trabalho do cuidado podem informar as escolas. As implicações para os educadores que procuram adotar uma orientação de estudos da deficiência para uma prática educativa inclusiva através de uma perspectiva de cuidado incluem focar-se no cuidado como um conjunto definível de ações e atitudes centradas na justiça, em vez de uma característica pessoal. A criação de acesso coletivo baseia-se especificamente na sabedoria das pessoas com deficiência para enfatizar a capacidade da comunidade de nomear necessidades situadas e identificar e implementar coletivamente a acessibilidade e a inclusão.

A relação com o corpo e com a alimentação tem sido impactada pelo ambiente obesogênico, tema escasso na literatura que afeta mulheres e necessita de métodos de investigação em profundidade. O objetivo deste estudo foi acessar e explorar o reconhecimento da relação com o corpo e a alimentação de mulheres participantes de uma intervenção educativa para a consciência alimentar por meio do mapa corporal narrado, uma metodologia visual. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa, conduzida com 19 mulheres brasileiras, que construíram o mapa corporal individualmente, analisado considerando representações visuais e narrativas. Formas de autodenominação foram reconhecidas por temas que demonstraram como aspectos da identidade definiram ou intensificaram a relação com o corpo e a alimentação. Este estudo contribuiu com uma estratégia para programas educativos de alimentação e nutrição para o fortalecimento da saúde de mulheres.

Published: October 2024

São apresentadas reflexões sobre a relevância histórica dos bufões por meio de uma análise sobre a visão artística e social do bufão ao palhaço de hospital. É discutida em quatro tópicos: A máscara, o ator e a plateia; O bufão e a expressão do ridículo; O espetáculo e a indicação do ridículo; e O riso na sociedade do espetáculo. O palhaço de hospital favorece reflexões semelhantes às do bufão, mas é necessário que a interação com o público apresente um espetáculo de comicidade com postura ética. Tem a capacidade de rir de si mesmo perante as adversidades e enfermidades, sempre com o devido respeito ao doente. E não somente isso: o palhaço de hospital consegue, através de posturas muitas vezes caricatas, inverter e questionar a lógica do poder do ambiente de saúde, fazendo disso um profissionalismo e protagonismo dele nesse espaço.

El propósito de realizar la presente guía para la toma de patrones de núcleo de retenedores intrarradiculares es tener una ruta clara en las prácticas de preclínica de los alumnos en dientes tratados previamente con endodoncia; dichos tratamientos endodónticos se han realizado con anterioridad en la preclínica de endodoncia. El retenedor intrarradicular es un dispositivo definitivo de rehabilitación oral el cual brinda una integración entre el segmento radicular del diente y su reconstrucción coronal; los retenedores intrarradiculares deben tener medidas mínimas para cumplir con la biomecánica necesaria y alcanzar el éxito en la restauración; estas medidas se deben cumplir de la siguiente manera: cuatro milímetros de selle endodóntico para evitar la contaminación retro apical del tratamiento endodóntico; cinco milímetros de longitud del retenedor por debajo de la altura de la cresta ósea que recubre el diente, principalmente, para evitar la fractura radicular; tres milímetros del ancho biológico; un milímetro como mínimo de efecto ferrule; y la altura coronal que se requiera para rehabilitar según sea un diente anterior mínimo cinco milímetros o un diente posterior tres milímetros. El material empleado para la toma de patrones de núcleo es la resina acrílica, la cual está compuesta por monómero y polímero; este material cuenta con características apropiadas de estabilidad, fácil y rápido manejo lo cual le permite al operador un mejor manejo en su procedimiento restaurador.
THESOURCES OF INNOVATIVE DEVELOPMENT IN CONTEMPORARY RUSSIA EXEMPLIFIED BY VOLGA FEDERAL DISTRICT

Published: October 2024

The paper analyses the relationship of the leadership in the social economic sys-tems with or without the inner innovative growth, as well as its intensity. Along with that, the innovative growth itself is considered to be the result of the primary entrepre-neurship approach. Besides, the innovative growth is looked at in terms of its intuitive understanding such as the extension of product range due to new developments and in terms of international methodological documents. If innovation is understood intui-tively as the creation of the product, which was not yet on the world market, innovation means any improvement in the level of the individual enterprise in international meth-odological documents. This shows the difference between the understanding of innova-tive growth in international methodological documents and economic growth, arising as a consequence of the introduction of R&D. The conclusions of the theoretical analysis are used to interpret the aggravated data from Federal State Statistics Service in federal districts. Then the data for Volga Federal District are disintegrated to the level of the republics and regions with the leaders in innovative growth (Tatarstan, Bashkortostan, Nizhny Novgorod and Samara regions) being identified on the basis of the values of dif-ferent indicators. Comparison of the innovative activity indicators in performance types in Tatarstan and information on industrial sites in the region leads to the conclusion that the republic’s enterprises gradually increase the value of their assets at the expense of innovation. But this innovative growth is closer to the definition of international meth-odological documents, rather than to its intuitive understanding. The number of funda-mentally new technologies created in the region is extremely small. This means that the economy hasn’t yet created the conditions for the business demand for new knowledge and its integration into the value added

Currently, industrial parks are seen as a tool to improve the competitiveness of the Russian Federation. The development of the industrial park sphere is slow, extremely uneven. Industrial sites are characterized by a low degree of efficiency. Implementation of the principles of public-private partnership (PPP) in the Russian practice aimed to design and to develop industrial parks is constrained by several factors, including the high investment costs for the project, the associated risks, inadequate financing instruments. A lack of organizational and economic mechanism to support the interaction between participants in creating and operating PPP based industrial parks is a significant barrier.The purpose of the study is to establish and develop the organizational and economic mechanism of interaction between the participants in creating and operating PPP (public-private partnership) based industrial parks.PPP schemes applicable to the industrial parks are being implemented on the basis of a private or public park. The most effective use of PPPs was found to be the organization of mixed parks with setting up a public company, which shares are owned by the state and a private investor. Infrastructure projects should be financed by public and private investors. At the same time managing company can be organized on purpose or be outsourced. This organizational and economic mechanism completely meets the PPP principles and allows to organize the work and services to residents of the industrial park in the most efficient manner.

Background: Accurate core temperature measurement in children is crucial; however, measuring esophageal temperature (TE) using a supraglottic airway device (SAD) can be challenging. Second-generation SADs, which have a gastric channel, can measure TE, and reduce gastric air volume. This study aimed to compare TE, measured using a probe inserted through the SAD gastric channel, with tympanic membrane (TTM) and forehead (TZHF) temperatures, measured using a zero-heat-flux cutaneous thermometer, with rectal temperature (TR).Methods: Temperature was recorded at 10-min intervals from 10 min after probe insertion until completion of surgery. We performed an equivalence test to evaluate whether the TE, TTM, and TZHF were equivalent to TR, with a margin of 0.3°C. Additionally, intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) were calculated to assess the reliability of TE and TR at each time point.Results: We included 41 patients in the final analysis. In all patients, the esophageal probe was successfully inserted through the gastric channel of the SAD. When assessing agreement with TR as a reference, TE demonstrated equivalent results at all time points (P < 0.001 at 0, 10, 20, 30, and 40-min intervals and P = 0.018 at the 50-min interval), except at the completion of surgery (P = 0.697). TE also demonstrated good reliability with TR as a reference throughout the surgery (ICC > 0.75).Conclusions: In children with SAD insertion, TE can be accurately and feasibly measured through the SAD’s gastric channel, making it suitable for routine application.
