Dome-Shaped Pituitary Enlargement in Primary Hypothyroidism: Avoiding Neurosurgical Interventions
Authors:   Fortis Hospital, Kolkata, West Bengal, India, Chakraborty Satyam , Tiwari Mona , Palui Rajan , Bhattacharya Kajari , Gangopadhyay Kalyan Kumar
Published: November 2020

We describe three cases of primary hypothyroidism which presented initially to neurosurgery department with pituitary hyperplasia. We have found a novel pattern of ‘dome shaped’ enlargement of pituitary in MRI of these patients. Out of these 3 patients, in two of them, the planned surgery was deferred when endocrinologists were consulted and the pituitary hyperplasia completely resolved with levothyroxine treatment. In the third case, pituitary surgery was already performed before endocrinology consultation and histopathology revealed thyrotroph hyperplasia. The hyperplastic lesions described typically have a homogenous symmetrical ‘dome’ shaped architecture unlike the non-functioning pituitary adenoma (NFPA), which usually might often be of varying shapes and homogeneity. Analysis of pituitary images from similar case reports published in literature, also showed this typical ‘dome’ shaped pituitary enlargement. This imaging characteristic can be a clue to look for underlying hormone deficiency, especially in primary hypothyroidism. Therefore, a thorough endocrine evaluation especially looking for primary hypothyroidism in such dome shaped pituitary lesions are mandatory to prevent unwarranted neuro-surgical intervention as treatment of primary hypothyroidism may result in resolution of the abnormal enlargement.
Il professionismo delle attrici: stato degli studi e nuove domande
Authors:   Università degli Studi di Firenze, Megale Teresa
Published: November 2020

In the second half of the 16th century, the arrival of women on the stage caused a revolution, the effects of which extended to the entirety of modern society. A troupe on the move and always at risk, faced with waves of condemnation, the women actors, nomads by trade, were preceded by a diffidence that was both twofold and simultaneous: towards the principal makings of professional work in the theatrical arts and towards the moral qualities of which they had been regarded as the heralds, not individually but as a social group. The process of deconstructing the artistic identity of these pioneering actresses, who tended to be equated with harlots or to their opposites, that is, virgin actresses, was not limited to the first appearance of women on the professional scene, but, rather, it became a long-standing historical category. The article is concerned with removing prior moral judgments that were stratified over the actresses and freeing the historiographic field from preconceived viewpoints; it is concerned with dismantling misogyny and anachronistic sidelong glances. Between masks and prejudices regarding the perturbing aesthetic perception represented by the entrance of women into the world of art, distinguishing that which separates the actress’s profession from sexual adventures, talent from reputation, art from seduction, is essential to provide new historiographic categories and new coordinates to the study of the commedia dell’arte. In this way, other past experiences come to light: the launch towards professionalism, the role of marriage, and the violence that women underwent are a few of the problematic issues to reconsider and overcome based on prior documentary studies.
Il pubblico femminile a teatro in età moderna
Authors:   Università degli Studi di Siena, Pieri Marzia
Published: November 2020

At the dawn of the modern era, aristocratic women, whether at court or in the academy, shed a noble aura on the new classic theatre and were often the privileged recipients of dedicated plays and poetry essays. They were totally different from the theatre-going women that bought tickets in 16th- and 17th-century Europe. Women in the theatre, whether on the stage or in the audience, were a problem and a source of scandal for Catholic and Protestant authorities, who wanted to ban them from attendance. However, their presence kept growing and finally established itself in the 18th century, when women became the main heralds of good taste and sentiment. This essay discusses the two aspects of this story.
Vittoria Piissimi zingara medicea: analisi di un’ “interpretazione”
Authors:   Università degli Studi di Firenze - Fondazione De Vito, Liberto Antonia
Published: November 2020

This paper analyses Vittoria Piissimi’s best performance in La Zingara (The Gypsy), performed on the occasion of the Medici marriage of Grand Duke Ferdinando with Cristina di Lorena in Florence in 1589. Piissimi was an excellent artist of the 16th century with a great talent for fascinating the audience. Examining records about gypsy tales and plays, this paper explores similarities and differences amongst Piissimi’s descriptions and interpretations of the gypsy.
Storie di emancipazione: Virginia Ramponi Andreini (1583-1631) dal suocero al marito
Authors:   Università degli Studi di Teramo, Besutti Paola
Published: November 2020

Numerous notarial deeds are kept in the State Archive of Mantua, involving some of the most famous comedians of the 17th century. Piermaria Cecchini (Frittellino); Francesco Andreini and his sons Domenico and Giacinto; Giovan Battista (Lelio) with his son Pietro Enrico; Tristano Martinelli; and others used notaries for wills, sales contracts, debt reduction, inventories of assets, and dowries. Some of these documents also involve the women of the Andreini family: Lavinia (sister Fulvia), Caterina (perhaps sister Clarastella), Virginia Ramponi Andreini (Florinda). In particular, an emancipation deed (1620) indirectly affected Virginia (Genoa, 1583? - before 17 November 1631), the first wife of Giovan Battista Andreini. On the basis of document analysis, two perspectives are explored: Virginia’s peculiar contribution to the activities of the family, also from an economic point of view; and the status of women with regards to emancipation, which must be understood from a legal point of view that was patriarchal and defensive of property. The article thus becomes an opportunity to reflect, starting from Virginia but gazing even beyond, on the condition of women who were active in the theatrical and musical world between jurisprudence, artistic professions, economic heritage, and daily life. In conclusion, through some selected examples (the concerto delle dame of Ferrara, Adriana Basile, Margherita Salicola, Antonia Merighi), the theme of emancipation throughout the 17th century is analysed, a period when women singers successfully populated the new operatic market. As the law remained unchanged, these women experimented with different strategies to protect their own person and assets.
L’anti-cristiana. Sulle attrici professioniste della prima età moderna
Authors:   Università degli Studi di Bergamo, Majorana Bernadette
Published: November 2020

The profession of the commedia dell’arte actress acquires a markedly visible position in the broad public horizon of Modern-Age Italy. The actress, in that context, places herself both at the borders of the male amateur theatre practices and amongst the virtuous feminine models (nuns, wives, virgins), conflicting with both. These counter-positions must have been very visible, particularly to the spectators, who could easily draw comparisons both with the amateur shows, where only male actors played, and with different kinds of feminine characters. These contrasts are explored in this article using moral essays of the time, including the equivalence between actress and prostitute put forward by a lengthy treatise in 1646 by G.D. Ottonelli.
Caterina Bresciani, l’Ircana famosa
Authors:   Uniwersytet Warszawski, Dygul Jolanta
Published: November 2020

While writing for the Venetian stage, Carlo Goldoni adhered to the requirements of the commedia dell’arte theatre, and thanks to his successful cooperation with actors, he gradually introduced changes to the ossified convention. The comedian-playwright wrote many of his texts for particular performers, using their personal qualities, stage experience, interpersonal relations within the team, and even biographies. Caterina Bresciani is an actress with whom Goldoni worked for as many as 10 theatre seasons, from 1753 to 1762, yet Goldoni does not mention much about her in his memoirs. To her, he owes his greatest stage success in Venice, La sposa persiana (1753), and two subsequent episodes of the story of the wild slave of Ircana. The aim of this article is to analyse the new typology of a female role, created for her first female performer, as well as to examine the performative traces hidden in the texts that will allow us to recreate the Bresciani style of acting.
Il mondo alla roversa, ovvero il potere delle donne nella Russia di Elisabetta Petrovna e Caterina II
Authors:   Freie Universität Berlin, Korneeva Tatiana
Published: November 2020

The essay focuses on Carlo Goldoni’s musical drama Il mondo alla roversa put on stage in 1759 in Moscow by the company of Giovanni Battista Locatelli. In particular, it investigates the reasons why the impresario adapted this satirical and misogynist comic opera in his repertoire and the transformations that the libretto underwent to fit into the socio-political context governed by women rulers.
Dopo l’Ottocento delle attrici, qualche punto fermo sulle attrici italiane del Novecento
Authors:   Università degli Studi di Bologna, Mariani Laura
Published: November 2020

Critical studies on the theatre from the 19th and 20th centuries, even founding ones, are limited as they do not include a gender category - a paradox in a space where bodies are central. The actresses, in fact, give life to different stories, which allow for the enrichment of historical-critical reconstructions. Given the vastness of the topic, this article aims to identify some fundamental turning points. We begin with the legacy of the 19th century, rich from both a linguistic and a historical-critical viewpoint; the article moves on to the post-Duse period, which saw, on the one hand, the birth of the actor-artist’s Italian specificity and, on the other, the crisis of female leaders of theatre companies; then, the article discusses the birth of Italian theatre direction in the period following the Second World War and the reaction of a few actresses, like Anna Magnani, who aimed to re-create the reality that was to be reclaimed by the history of theatre. Finally, the article explores the breakdown caused by the New Theatre and even calls into discussion the word for “actress”, with overlaps in the fields of theatre direction and dramaturgy.
Due regine per un’attrice: Maria Stuarda e Elisabetta I nell’interpretazione di Adelaide Ristori
Authors:   Università degli Studi di Firenze, Simoncini Francesca
Published: November 2020

The essay analyses some scenes from Friedrich Schiller’s Mary Stuart and from Paolo Giacometti’s Queen Elizabeth I of England, performed by Adelaide Ristori. Through a careful comparison between textual sources (memoirs, scripts, testimonies) and iconographic sources (paintings, photographs, engravings), the scene movements and gestures used by the great actress are reconstructed.
Corpo-grafie di donna: un matri-archivio del corpo danzante, pensante, migrante
Authors:   Università degli Studi di Napoli “L’Orientale”, Piccirillo Annalisa
Published: November 2020

Ballet is the language that is most representative of dance culture in Italy, with its famous male librettists and choreographers, the archons of its knowledge. This academic tradition is closely connected to the aesthetic representation of the ethereal image of the female body - and the way she must be, without “weight”. By proposing a “matri-archival” methodology, this paper aims to interrogate the roles and the values that have been “choreographed” into the representation of women inside and beyond the Italian theatre-dance scene. The purpose is to discuss the choreographic experimentations where, instead, women dance and make dance themselves through their bodywriting - here proposed as corpo-graphy. I select, in the form of fragments, practices of art of the lives of women and pioneers of western Dance History in order to trace the principles of “repetition and destruction” - which are always at play in every archiving act (Derrida, 1996) - of a specific force and quality of movement: “gravity”. Conceptually and metaphorically, “gravity” is conceived here as both the “weight” of the body and of the choreographic “thinking” that supports it. Following this way of thinking, I recall fragments of dance, theatre-dance, and video-dance, briefly referring to the corporeal stories of women and archons who rewrote the representative memory of the ethereal body transmitted through ballet women who embody, dance, and think the research of a political and poetical protest. I conclude with an example of female corpo-graphy that hosts, on and with a woman’s own corporeality, the experience of contemporary migration.
A chi assomiglia Elena Ferrante? Un profilo stilometrico aggior-nato
Authors:   Università di Padova, Cortelazzo Michele A. , Tuzzi Arjuna ,   Università di Padova
Published: November 2020

Based on a corpus including 150 novels by 40 authors, a stylometric survey was conducted to assess which modern authors were similar to Elena Ferrante, the pen name used for eight novels, including My Brilliant Friend (Tuzzi & Cortelazzo 2018a and 2018b). The survey proved that Elena Ferrante’s writing style is remarkably different from that of the other main contemporary Italian novelists with the notable exception of Domenico Starnone. Follow-up studies (Cortelazzo, Mikros & Tuzzi 2018 and another under way) show that non-fiction works signed by Elena Ferrante may be attributed to different authors, i.e., Anita Raja, Starnone again, and a collective author including the staffof the E/O publishing house. This study complements the results obtained by previous research by assessing Elena Ferrante’s role in modern Italian fiction following the publication of her latest novel, The Lying Life of Adults. In addition, the analysis of her similarities to Domenico Starnone was enhanced by means of a larger corpus of his novels, thus corroborating the outcome of previous research.
La figura del “profugo polacco” nella finzione italiana. Edmondo De Amicis e Edoardo Albinati in cerca di un mito moderno
Authors:   Uniwersytet Jagielloński w Krakowie, Płaszczewska Olga
Published: November 2020

The paper offers a contextual reflection on how the ‘Polish refugee’ figure is rendered in two examples of 19th- and 20th-century Italian literature. The paper opens with a brief discussion of the term ‘myth’ and its meanings in the age of Digital Humanities and proceeds to outline the literary and non-literary sources of the European myth of Poles as victims of foreign violence. Having given some attention to Edmondo de Amicis’s early poems addressing the 1863 uprising in Poland, the argument then focuses on his short story ‘Profughi polacchi’ (1863) as establishing the pattern of representing Polish emigrants in modern literature. Subsequently, the ways in which this narrative pattern changes in Edoardo Albinati’s novel Polacco lavatore di vetri (1998) are analysed to show that the idealised vision of the ‘refugee’ collapses. In conclusion, the dynamics of the presence and productivity of the myth in literature and in journalism are emphasised, and the differences in the handling of the myth in these two forms of writing are highlighted.

Published: November 2020

ABSTRACT Background: Migraine is one of the most common disorders in neurological clinical practice and is part of the group of primary headaches. It often affects individuals in the age group of 25-55 years, when people are at their peak of economic productivity. Many patients ultimately overuse analgesics. Overuse is defined by the use of analgesics for at least 15 times a month - within a minimal three-month period. Impulsivity and migraine cause losses in the lives of individuals suffering from them, as they can compromise these individuals’ social, emotional, and professional spheres. Regarding the professional sphere, it results in economic losses compared with the overall population. Objective: To investigate the presence of impulsive behavior in patients with migraine and with medication-overuse migraine. Methods: Cross-sectional study on 210 female and male patients; 140 were diagnosed with migraine according to criteria of the International Classification of Headache Disorders and were subdivided into two groups (70 patients each). One of these groups was composed of medication-overuse patients; the control group was composed of non-migraine patients (70 patients). All patients were evaluated with the Barratt Impulsivity Scale (BIS-11). Results: The group of migraine patients accounted for the highest impulsivity level, followed by the control group and, finally, by the medication-overuse group. However, these differences did not attain statistical significance. Conclusions: It was not possible to establish a clear connection between migraine and impulsive behavior. Association was higher among migraineurs without medication overuse.

ABSTRACT Objective: to assess the socioeconomic and demographic profiles of patients hospitalized with a diagnosis of diabetic foot in a tertiary hospital in Belem-PA, Brazil, as well as to evaluate risk factors for lower limb amputations in such patients, classifying them according to the Wagner and PEDIS classifications. Methods: we conducted a descriptive, cross-sectional, unicentric, and analytical study carried out through a structured questionnaire. Results: the study consisted of 57 patients, aged between 48 and 84 years old, 66.7% being male. The average income ranged between one and three (61.4%) minimum wages and below one minimum wage (31.6%). Type II Diabetes Mellitus was predominant (86.0%). Concerning comorbidities, arterial hypertension displayed the highest proportion (62.3%), followed by dyslipidemia (52.8%). Smokers comprised 35.1% of the sample. Infectious diabetic foot (50.9%) and mixed diabetic foot (49.1%) were the most common. Of the 20 patients with previous amputation, 90% had undergone minor amputation, and 10%, major ones. Callosity (92.6%) was the most prevalent deformity. Fifty-four (94.7%) patients underwent surgery, those being debridement (24.1%), minor amputation (37.0%) and major amputation (38.9%). During hospitalization, 78.9% of individuals did not require ICU stay. Hospitalization time varied between three and 59 days, and 78.9% of hospitalized patients did not progress to death, but 43.1% of patients submitted to major amputations died. Conclusion: patients with diabetic foot followed-up have a low socioeconomic profile; most of them underwent surgical procedures, whether major or minor, due to the higher prevalence of infectious diabetic foot and/or non-adherence to non-operative treatment.

ABSTRACT Introduction: primary liver sarcoma is a rare type of tumor, more common in children. Among adults, it represents a spectrum of neoplasms with reserved prognosis. There is no consensus on the treatment of choice of these lesions, justifying a systematic review of the literature on treatment options, prognostic factors, and survival. Material/Methods: a systematic review of articles published in Pubmed, Medline, LiLacs e SciElo, from 1966 to March/2019, presenting the keywords: primary-liver-sarcoma and primary-hepatic-sarcoma was undertaken. Studies including patients older than 18 years, and published in English, Portuguese and Spanish were included. Case reports, metastatic tumors and multiple oncologic diagnosis were excluded. The initial search listed 1,318 articles. 1,206 did not meet the inclusion criteria. After reviewing 112 eligible articles, 15 were selected (14 case series and 1 retrospective-cohort). Results: proposed treatment modalities for primary liver sarcoma included surgery and/or chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy or liver transplantation. The most common histological types were angiosarcoma (32%), leiomyosarcoma (29%), epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (15%) and embryonal sarcoma (7%). Histology, degree of differentiation and R0 resection were mentioned positive prognostic factors. Median survival ranged from two to 23 months. Five-year survival rate varied from 0% to 64%, on average 21%. Conclusion: surgical resection (R0 resection) is the main treatment for primary liver sarcomas. Development of effective systemic therapies are required to improve prognosis of patients harboring this type of tumor.

ABSTRACT Background: remnant gastric cancer (RGC) develops five years or later after previous resection for benign or malignant lesion. The treatment is performed through completion total gastrectomy (CTG) with radical lymphadenectomy. Some reports consider this procedure may be associated with higher rates of morbidity and mortality. Objective: to evaluate surgical results and survival after CTG in patients with RGC. Methods: 54 patients who underwent CTG between 2009 and 2019 were included in the study. As a comparison group 215 patients with primary gastric cancer (PGC) who underwent total gastrectomy (TG) in the same period were selected. Results: among the initial characteristics, age (68.0 vs. 60.5; p<0.001), hemoglobin values (10.9 vs. 12.3; p<0.001) and body mass index (22.5 vs. 24.6; p=0.005) were different between the RGC and PGC groups, respectively. The most frequent postoperative complications were related to pulmonary complications, infection and fistula in both groups. There was a higher incidence of esophagojejunal fistula in the CTG group (14.8% vs 6.5%, p=0.055). Perioperative mortality was higher in RGC patients (9.3% vs. 5.1%), but without significance (p=0.329). Hospital length of stay, postoperative complications graded by the Clavien-Dindo classification, mortality at 30 and 90 days were not different between groups. There was no significant difference in disease-free and overall survival between RGC and PGC groups. Conclusion: despite previous reports, surgical results and survival were similar between groups. Higher risk of esophagojejunal fistula must be considered.
DIGITAL LEARNING PLATFORMS: AN INTEGRATIVE REVIEW TO SUPPORT INTERNATIONALIZATION OF HIGHER EDUCATION
Authors: LIMA CLÁUDIO DE , BASTOS ROGÉRIO CID , VARVAKIS GREGÓRIO
Published: November 2020

ABSTRACT: The process of integrating an international, intercultural, and global dimension into the purpose, functions or delivery of education defines the Internationalization of Higher Education (IoHE). Due to lack of resources for education, internationalization at home (IaH) has gained popularity. Internationalization of Higher Education involving Information and Communication Technology (ICT) opens opportunities for innovative learning approaches across nations and cultures. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the scientific publications of recent years on digital learning platforms related to IoHE. For this, a descriptive exploratory research was conducted based on an integrative literature review. Analysis of this field shows that e-learning platforms have boosted online and distance learning and diversified the IoHE landscape. Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL) programs emerge as part of IaH and reflect the growing link between ICTs, social media, and internationalization. The concept of virtual internationalization can be used as a conceptual framework to promote IoHE.
NOTAS PARA PENSAR OS SUJEITOS PERIFÉRICOS NA HISTÓRIA DA EDUCAÇÃO EM CIÊNCIAS
Authors: BORBA RODRIGO CERQUEIRA DO NASCIMENTO , SELLES SANDRA ESCOVEDO
Published: November 2020

RESUMO: O artigo interpela a inclinação historiográfica que permeia as pesquisas em História da Educação em Ciências comumente dirigidas para sujeitos históricos que circularam por espaços privilegiados de produção e socialização de conhecimentos. Amparado por um arsenal teórico-metodológico que conjuga referenciais da História, da Memória e do movimento biográfico, o texto discute a pertinência de pesquisas acerca das trajetórias sociais de atores escolares ordinários, ou seja, sujeitos periféricos, invisibilizados pela historiografia. Apostamos que estudos que tratem de entender de modo relacional sua trajetória de vida e os contextos social e cultural de seu tempo podem oferecer interessantes subsídios e potentes indícios para que outras histórias sobre a Educação em Ciências sejam produzidas, contadas e escritas a partir desse movimento. Para isso, também são problematizadas determinadas representações hegemonizadas sobre o passado das disciplinas escolares Ciências e Biologia. Com esse fim, desenvolvemos um exercício de pesquisa empírica com base na trajetória de um sujeito periférico em especial. Argumentamos que pode ser produtivo, para a ampliação do repertório de conhecimentos sócio-históricos sobre as referidas disciplinas escolares, investigar as histórias de vida de professores e professoras que atualmente se encontram em zonas de invisibilidade para a História da Educação em Ciências.
SEIS DÉCADAS DE UM PROJETO DE PLENA DEMOCRATIZAÇÃO: REATUALIZANDO A ATUALIDADE BRASILEIRA COM PAULO FREIRE
Authors: OLIVEIRA LUIZ FERNANDO DE
Published: November 2020

RESUMO: Apresenta-se aqui uma análise contextual e atualizada da obra Educação e atualidade brasileira, escrita por Paulo Freire em 1959, na qual o autor mostra como o contraste entre a “inexperiência democrática” e a “emersão do povo na vida pública nacional” constituía a antinomia fundamental do Brasil “em desenvolvimento”. Por meio de um retrospecto histórico, aponta, na própria formação do Brasil, as origens das disposições mentais antidemocráticas do seu povo e os processos pelos quais essas disposições se perpetuaram. Identificando no fim da década de 1950 as circunstâncias propícias para a inserção participativa e crítica do povo nos processos decisórios nacionais, o autor defende a necessidade de se formar as mulheres e os homens para a vida democrática, papel de uma educação que necessitava de uma completa revisão. Consideradas as especificidades de cada momento, as reflexões de Freire lançam luzes sobre a contexto atual, amparam a problematização de suas antinomias e revelam os caminhos pelos quais se pode construir uma educação para a justiça social.
INTEGRATING DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES IN BRAZILIAN ENGLISH LANGUAGE TEACHER EDUCATION THROUGH BLENDED LEARNING
Authors: MENDES ANA RACHEL MACEDO , FINARDI KYRIA REBECA
Published: November 2020

ABSTRACT: This paper aims at reflecting upon the integration of digital technologies in the form of blended learning (BL) approaches in Pre-service English Language Teaching (ELT) Education. With that aim, a BL approach was designed and implemented in a pedagogical intervention carried out in the form of an action research in a pre-service ELT practicum course in a federal university in Brazil. Data includes questionnaires and interviews administered to the pre-service English teachers and observations carried out in the practicum course. The analysis of data suggests that despite little involvement in the online environment, the BL approach was able to promote critical reflection on the integration of digital technologies in ELT. Moreover, it showed that pre-service teachers’ views of the educational value attributed to the online environment and professors’ readiness to offer varied and innovating learning options may determine the success of the integration of digital technologies in BL outcomes. The study concludes that the implementation of BL approaches in pre-service ELT education provides a space for reflection on action fostering informed pedagogical decisions regarding the integration of digital technologies in ELT.
A EDUCAÇÃO INCLUSIVA EM ESPAÇOS NÃO FORMAIS: UMA ANÁLISE DOS MUSEUS DE CIÊNCIAS BRASILEIROS

Published: November 2020

RESUMO: A presente pesquisa foi realizada a partir da articulação entre a Educação Inclusiva e o Ensino de Ciências em espaços não formais, buscando contribuir para que se ampliem as discussões no tocante à inclusão da pessoa com deficiência nos museus de Ciências incorporando ações de acessibilidade. Tendo como objetivo identificar e analisar as dimensões da Educação Inclusiva presentes/ausentes nos museus de Ciências brasileiros, foram investigadas as concepções dos coordenadores dos museus de Ciências e dos elaboradores do “Guia de Museus e Centros de Ciências Acessíveis” por meio de uma entrevista semiestruturada. Os dados foram analisados segundo a perspectiva da Análise de Conteúdo, segundo categorias definidas à priori. Observou-se que na dimensão Física há predominância dos aspectos pertinentes ao acesso à instituição. Na dimensão Programática foram identificadas ações que buscam diminuir as barreiras provenientes da falta de formação dos monitores, o que implica diretamente na mediação. Na dimensão Comunicacional foi possível identificar a criação de materiais táteis e manipuláveis. Na observação da dimensão Atitudinal, foi possível notar que as instituições têm desenvolvido práticas de sensibilização e de conscientização. Entretanto, os resultados mostram que algumas medidas ainda estão disponíveis com restrições, ou mesmo, indisponíveis. A implementação dessas mudanças deve ocorrer a curto, médio e longo prazo, visto que não é possível sanar definitivamente, todas as necessidades dos espaços e de seus visitantes. Ressaltamos a necessidade de que pesquisas futuras se dediquem a entender se a inclusão é realmente efetiva no espaço museal e como a pessoa com deficiência participa desse processo.

Published: November 2020

RESUMO: O artigo problematiza, através da pesquisa genealógica, a emergência do adolescente em conflito com a lei. Buscar a emergência do adolescente em conflito com a lei significa buscar e descrever o conjunto de forças que, a partir de determinado acontecimento, permitiu o estabelecimento de uma nova configuração entre saberes e práticas sobre os corpos dos adolescentes. Argumentamos que o adolescente em conflito com a lei é uma personagem que emerge com o Estatuto da Criança e do Adolescente, sendo produzido pelas medidas socioeducativas, compreendidas como um conjunto de técnicas biopolíticas que articula tecnologias de dominação e tecnologias de si, no quadro de uma governamentalidade neoliberal. Desse modo, pretende contribuir com a crítica do presente mediante o recuo histórico de maneira a observar se o adolescente em conflito com a lei apresenta-se de fato como uma ruptura no campo dos saberes e das práticas institucionais e o sentido dessa ruptura.
APRENDER A SER CHIC: A PATINAÇÃO EM CURITIBA (1879-1916) - UMA EXPERIÊNCIA MODERNA
Authors: GOMES LEONARDO DO COUTO , MORAES LETÍCIA CRISTINA LIMA , MELO VICTOR ANDRADE DE
Published: November 2020

RESUMO: Este estudo tem por objetivo discutir as experiências com a patinação promovidas em Curitiba entre 1879 (data do anúncio da primeira iniciativa) e 1916 (ano em que sete espaços dedicados à diversão funcionaram simultaneamente). O intuito foi investigar sua dinâmica social, bem como os discursos de adesão a ideias de civilização e progresso que se forjaram ao seu redor, posicionamentos que apresentaram indicações de adequados usos do corpo e de adoção de bons comportamentos públicos. Basicamente, interessa responder: a) como se estruturou a prática (estratégias de oferta, responsáveis, locais, frequentadores)? b) que representações sobre ela foram veiculadas? Como fontes, foram utilizados jornais e revistas publicados na cidade no período em tela. Conclui-se que a patinação foi mobilizada como uma possibilidade de educação do público no que tange à aquisição de posturas chics, uma noção ligada a concepções de modernidade que circularam com maior intensidade na capital paranaense no momento abordado.
AUTORIA DOCENTE: UM ESQUEMA DE ANÁLISE NO ENSINO DE CIÊNCIAS
Authors: MAIA JULIANA DE OLIVEIRA , VILLANI ALBERTO , BAROLLI ELISABETH , NASCIMENTO WILSON ELMER
Published: November 2020

RESUMO: Este trabalho tem como objetivo apresentar um esquema de análise para a autoria docente no ensino de Ciências. O conceito de autoria docente foi caracterizado de modo a aprofundar a relação que o professor, em contextos de formação continuada, estabelece com seu próprio desenvolvimento profissional docente. A elaboração do esquema teve como ponto de partida depoimentos de professores participantes de cursos de Mestrados Profissionais em Ensino de Ciências e Matemática extraídos de trabalhos publicados em periódicos brasileiros. O esquema abrange um conjunto de indicadores que dão conta tanto de fatores de natureza cognitiva, quanto subjetiva que influenciam o desenvolvimento profissional docente: dedicação - nula, passiva e ativa; responsabilidade - nula, eventual e sistemática; inovação - nula, técnica, reflexiva e criativa. De modo a explorar o esquema analítico, foram interpretados dados empíricos sobre a participação de uma professora em um Mestrado Profissional em Ensino de Física. O conjunto de dados foi obtido por meio de uma entrevista semiestruturada e para o processo de apresentação e análise dos dados optou-se por uma análise narrativa. Como conclusão foi possível observar que o esquema desenvolvido para caracterizar a autoria docente tem como perspectiva dar destaque ao fato de que o professor pode ser original e criativo também quando se considera, em específico, os conhecimentos que podem estar relacionados com as diversas atividades da prática pedagógica. Além disso, o esquema pode se constituir num instrumento efetivo, seja para o professor se auto avaliar, seja para fornecer indícios acerca do potencial de contribuição das atividades propostas pelo contexto formativo.

Este trabajo analiza las descargas eléctricas (DE) de Otto en noviembre 2016 en su paso desde el Caribe hasta el Pacífico, usando datos de la World Wide Lightning Location Network; lo cual constituye una investigación pionera en esta región de Centroamérica. Las DE asociadas a Otto capturan muy bien las fases de intensificación y degradación de este huracán, que como variable podría ser parametrizada en los modelos numéricos para mejorar el entendimiento y evolución de estos sistemas. Otto presentó tres picos máximos de descargas; uno en categoría 1 en la escala Saffir-Simpson, otro en categoría 2 y el último en la categoría 3 (OH3), poco antes de su entrada a tierra entre Costa Rica y Nicaragua. La región de mayor cantidad de DE se desplazó del centro hacia las zonas más externas del huracán conforme éste se intensificó. En el caso de OH3, el máximo de DE se ubicó en las bandas externas de Otto (250-300 km). Durante su evolución, las de máximas DE observadas estaban relacionadas con temperaturas del tope de las nubes menores a los -70 °C.

Resumo O objetivo nesse estudo foi determinar as temperaturas cardinais de três clones de cajueiro anão utilizando um modelo não-linear de desenvolvimento para estimar a etapa fenológica de amadurecimento dos seus frutos. Entre agosto de 2010 e agosto de 2012, identificou-se semanalmente até dez frutos jovens por clone, acompanhando-os até amadurecerem. A taxa de desenvolvimento dos frutos foi obtida com o modelo de Wang e Engel, utilizando três aproximações da temperatura do ar de Santo Antônio de Leverger/MT (15°51’ S e 56°04’ O, 140 m). Os frutos marcados durante os meses de maio a julho requereram um tempo maior, aproximadamente 44 dias para amadurecerem devido aos menores valores de temperatura do ar ocorridos nesse período, com uma média compensada de 23,0 °C. Contudo, os frutos marcados entre agosto e outubro, período com maior média compensada do ar, de aproximadamente 26,6 °C necessitaram de um tempo menor, 37 dias. As temperaturas cardinais variaram de: 14,0 a 17 °C, 27,5 a 32,5 °C e 33,0 a 41,5 °C para a temperatura base inferior, ótima e base superior, respectivamente.

Resumo: O artigo apresenta, em primeiro lugar, uma abordagem inovadora da análise de conteúdo, a partir da ampla concepção da técnica, para demonstrá-la como uma estratégia essencialmente dependente do objeto de pesquisa e das diferentes escolhas feitas pelo/a pesquisador/a. Em segundo lugar, o artigo resgata duas pesquisas de doutorado desenvolvidas com diferentes estratégias de análise de conteúdo para ilustrar os argumentos metodológicos da primeira parte. No transcurso, expõem-se os principais resultados das pesquisas escolhidas tentando evidenciar a construção de dados, e são expostos importantes insights sobre a política externa brasileira e a integração regional sul-americana. Finalmente, ressaltam-se algumas reflexões sobre a pertinência do uso da análise de conteúdo na área de Relações Internacionais, disciplina em que tal ferramenta analítica não tem apresentado um desenvolvimento crescente, se comparada com seu uso na Ciência Política.
A definição de res publica em Cícero: legitimidade, uso da força e constituição mista no conceito que fundou uma tradição
Authors: Laureano Roger
Published: November 2020

Resumo: A primeira definição de res publica que temos registro, presente na obra de Cícero, constitui o ponto central do interesse da teoria política no pensamento romano. A partir da análise textual e contextual da definição, busco demonstrar como, com a intenção de conservar a República Romana, Cícero criou um critério de legitimidade que atribuía obrigações políticas aos governantes. Caso elas não fossem cumpridas, o governo poderia ser deposto e até mesmo o uso da força seria justificado. Cícero viveu em um contexto de guerra civil em que esses critérios eram constantemente desrespeitados, assim seu pensamento político pode ser compreendido como uma ação em defesa da constituição mista a partir da aplicação desses princípios e uma exortação aos seus compatriotas por uma atividade política virtuosa.

Resumo Contexto O edema de membros inferiores (MMII) possui causas de origem sistêmicas e locais. Uma inovação é a utilização de um software de caracterização tecidual para diferenciação da origem do edema em imagens de ultrassom. Objetivos Determinar os parâmetros do uso de software na imagem ultrassonográfica para diferenciação de edema de origem venosa e/ou linfática em MMII. Métodos Trata-se de um estudo transversal do tipo quantitativo analítico com amostragem não probabilística por conveniência. Os instrumentos de coleta foram: anamnese, exame físico, exame de ultrassom e análise do software de caracterização tecidual por imagem ultrassonográfica por meio da quantificação da ecogenicidade e da mediana da escala de cinza (GSM). Resultados A amostra foi composta por 42 MMII de edema venoso, 35 de edema linfático, 14 de edema misto e 11 controle. Quanto à distribuição dos pixels nos intervalos de ecogenicidade, o grupo com edema venoso apresentou 88,31% entre o intervalo hipoecogênico IV ao ecogênico III; o grupo com edema linfático, 71,73% entre o intervalo hipoecogênico II ao ecogênico I; grupo com edema misto, 76,17% entre o intervalo hipoecogênico III ao ecogênico II; e o grupo controle, 84,87% entre o intervalo ecogênico II ao hiperecogênico I. A média e o desvio-padrão da GSM apresentaram diferença estatística entre os grupos. Conclusão O software CATUS permitiu a diferenciação do tipo de edema de MMII, facilitando o diagnóstico do tipo de edema e, consequentemente, a escolha da melhor opção terapêutica.

Published: November 2020

ABSTRACT This study aimed to evaluate three methodologies for orifice-plate water-flow estimation by quantifying errors in the flow determinations to propose an appropriate measurement range for each evaluated condition. Two orifice-plate models (nominal diameters of 100 and 150 mm) with 50% restriction in the flow section were evaluated. In the theoretical equations, the discharge coefficient was obtained using the Reader-Harris/Gallagher equation (Method 1) and approximated from experimental data using the angular coefficient of a zero-intercept straight line (Method 2). The recommended measurement ranges for errors that were lower than 5% for the 100 and 150 mm plates were 30 to 65 m3 h-1 and 70 to 130 m3 h-1 using the theoretical equation and 20 to 65 m3 h-1 and 40 to 130 m3 h-1 using the empirical equation, respectively. The Reader-Harris/Gallagher equation (Method 1) adequately estimated the discharge coefficient of the orifice plates; however, the use of empirical equations (Method 3) demonstrated smaller measurement errors and greater rangeability of the evaluated flow meters.

ABSTRACT ‘Jurubeba’ (Solanum paniculatum L.) is a medicinal plant used in traditional medicine for liver problems, in addition to being used as a cholagogue, emmenagogue, healing agent, febrifuge, anti-inflammatory, antipyretic, tonic, decongestant, diuretic and against inappetence. Thus, the objective of this study was to evaluate the antioxidant activity, concentration of phenolic compounds and total alkaloids of aqueous extracts prepared from ‘Jurubeba’ leaves subjected to drying. ‘Jurubeba’ leaves were dried at different temperatures (40, 50, 60 and 70 °C) and velocities (0.4 and 0.8 m s-1) of the drying air. Aqueous extracts of the leaves, subjected to drying, were evaluated by absorbance reading in a spectrophotometer. Increase in drying air temperature reduced the contents of total phenolics and total alkaloids of the leaf aqueous extracts, whereas increment in air velocity increased the concentration of these substances. Antioxidant activity was not influenced by the increase in air temperature at air velocity of 0.4 m s-1, but under air velocity of 0.8 m s-1 there was reduction with increasing temperature. Drying of ‘Jurubeba’ leaves can be carried out with temperature of 40 or 50 °C and drying air velocity of 0.4 m s-1.

ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to quantify the effect of water temperature variations on the discharge of collapsible thin-walled drip tapes with integrated non-pressure-compensating emitters. The tests were conducted in the laboratory using an automated test bench. Tests were performed to determine the discharge-pressure curves by varying the water temperature from 20 to 50 °C. Nine emitter models of three wall thicknesses (6, 8, and 9 MIL) were evaluated. The coefficients K and x of the discharge-pressure curves varied according to the water temperature. In flat emitters of turbulent flow (x < 0.5), the discharge decreased as the temperature increased. In the welded emitters of turbulent flow, several responses were observed. Regarding emitter D (x > 0.5), the discharge increased as the temperature was increased, while for emitter C (x < 0.5), the discharge decreased; the highest discharge variations occurred at pressures higher than 60 kPa. For embossed emitters, the discharge increased as a function of temperature, however, the greatest variation occurred at the lowest pressures. None of the emitters showed significant difference in the discharge variation due to wall thicknesses.

ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to determine the best osmotic dehydration (OD) condition for slices of mango cv. Espada through a factorial experiment, evaluating water loss and water activity during the process, and then perform convective drying at different temperatures to sensorially evaluate the obtained dried mango. An experiment was conducted in a 23 factorial experiment, with three central points, to evaluate the influence of thickness (1; 1.5 and 2 cm), sucrose concentration (35; 45 and 55 ºBrix) and temperature (30, 40 and 50 ºC) on water loss and water activity during the process. Convective drying was carried out in a tray dryer at temperatures of 50, 60 and 70 ºC, with an air speed of 1.5 m s-1. The optimal OD condition was found for slices with 1 cm thickness, sucrose concentration of 55 °Brix and temperature of 50 °C. Dried mangoes produced at temperatures of 50 and 60 °C were the most accepted among the tasters for the attributes of color, appearance, odor and taste, intensity of hardness, preference and purchase intention, and can be a promising alternative for utilization of Espada mango.
