Šalek roots of Anton Martin Slomšek
Authors: Golec Boris
Published: August 2023

The existing knowledge about the genealogy and the ancestors of Blessed Anton Martin Slomšek, Prince-Bishop of Lavant (1800–1862), who had lived or originated in the Šalek Valley, is largely owed to two priests–Franc Kovačič (1867–1939) and especially Maks Goričar (1885–1941). The bishop’s grandfather Gašper Slomšek (ca. 1718–1779) moved to the Šalek Valley in the mid-eighteenth century from his native hamlet of Slom near Ponikva. The maiden name of his wife, Ana Apat, meaning abbot, was first documented in 1575 in her native village of Družmirje near Šoštanj. Ana Apat descended from a well-to-do tavernkeeper’s family in Družmirje, and her father Jakob was also the market-town dweller of Šoštanj, where his ancestors had most probably lived for at least two generations. At the end of the eighteenth century, the bishop’s father Marko and uncle Valentin Slomšek moved to Slom, where they took over their ancestors’ big farm, which subsequently became the home of Bishop Anton Martin Slomšek.
The historical testimonial value of anonymous letters about the events in Ljubljana during the first French occupation (1797)
Authors: Farinelli Patrizia
Published: August 2023

An anonymous text, published by Ljubljana’s publisher Wilhelm Heinrich Korn in 1797, recounts in German dialect the events of the first French occupation of Carniola—and specifically of its capital—in epistolary form. This paper aims to highlight the value of the letters as historical testimony and to provide an analysis of their content and style, emphasizing above all the perspective embraced by their author. The analysis shows that the lively discourse developed by the anonymous citizen from Ljubljana shifts between empathy for his fellow citizens, who experienced severe hardship, and an ironic attitude towards the occupiers; he avoids, however, celebrating the former and condemning the latter with words that may acquire an explicit political value.
Examples of soup kitchens operating in Gorizia and Gradisca before the First World War
Authors: Devetak Robert
Published: August 2023

The article describes the operations of various systems of soup kitchens that were set up in Gorizia and Gradisca during the period of Austria-Hungary. They constituted a crucial form of provincial social aid to the poor, with which charity organizations or individuals alleviated the hardships facing the vulnerable social strata in both urban and rural areas. Drawing from various sources, the article presents four examples from the city of Gorizia and the Friulian part of the County. Operating in the provincial capital were the general soup kitchen, run by the local women’s charity association, and two soup kitchens providing meals to poor schoolchildren. At the turn of the twentieth century, a special system of soup kitchens was also set up across Friuli settlements with the main purpose to fight pellagra, which wreaked havoc among the poor local population.
Review Dom in svet and its expressionist period in the light of France Stelè’s correspondence with Izidor Cankar
Authors: Krmelj Vesna
Published: August 2023

After his return from Siberian captivity during World War I, France Stelè resumed his work as chief conservator in Ljubljana and, as successor to Izidor Cankar as editor of the journal Dom in svet, also placed himself at the forefront of contemporary Slovenian art. In collaboration with Cankar and a group of writers and artists, Stelè created an expressionist journal of European standing that promoted young avant-garde writers and in which all three art historians, who were at the forefront of the young progressive discipline, opened the door to postwar modernism. Confronted with increasing pressure from Frančišek Borgia Sedej, the Archbishop of Gorizia, Stelè resigned as editor after two and a half years. At about that time, Izidor Cankar sent him a picture postcard from the Munich Glyptothek with the motif of Marsyas receiving Apollo’s punishment. Was the Greek myth, popular among expressionists, chosen arbitrarily, or does it in fact provide a key for a historical retrospect?

Assaying the effects of some essential oils on Root-knot Nematode [Meloidogyne javanica (Treub 1885) Chitwood 1949] in the laboratory
Authors: Mohammed Bukar Aji  , Ibrahim Jacob  , Mahmoud Yahya Jada
Published: August 2023

Nematodes are man’s faceless enemy whose activities encourage hunger and poverty. This study was conducted to determine the efficacy of selected plant oil extract in the control of root knot Nematode [Meloidogyne javanica] in the laboratory. The experimental design used was Complete Randomized Design (CRD) with fourteen treatments, replicated three times. Egg hatch inhibition test on M. javanica eggs and juvenile mortality test were separately performed by exposing the eggs and juveniles to different dosage of the essential oils. Neem seed oil statistically proved effective in inhibiting egg hatch followed closely by Garlic clove oil and then Moringa seed oil. All the essential oil treatments were more effective than carbofuran treatment. The surfactant Sodium Lauryl Sulphate was shown to have nematicidal properties as it also recorded zero egg hatching at all the doses applied. The second stage juveniles of M. javanica recorded a higher mortality rate (100%), when they were treated with Neem seed oil, closely followed by Garlic clove oil and then Moringa seed oil. All Surfactant treatments caused 100% juveniles’ mortality. The higher the doses of the essential oils, the higher the juvenile mortality rate. Neem seed oil at all the dosage proved effective in controlling Meloidogyne javanica causing high rate of juvenile mortality and suppressing M. javanica egg hatch. The nematicidal characteristics exhibited by the essential oils might be due to the phytochemicals present in the oils.

Serum Electrolyte and Metabolic Changes During Conditioning of Autologous Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation in Patients with Autoimmune Diseases: A Prospective Study in a Single Institution
Authors: Méndez-Laureano Brenda J. , Gallardo-Pérez Moisés M. , Minutti-Zanella Claudia , Ruiz-Argüelles Guillermo J.
Published: August 2023

Background and objectives:

A hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) includes a conditioning regimen which may cause unwanted metabolic changes. We analyzed the changes in electrolytes, glucose, urea, and glomerular filtration rate in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) who underwent an autologous HSCT employing the “Mexican method”.

Patients and methods:

Serum and urinary electrolytes, blood glucose, creatinine, uric acid, and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) were prospectively assessed on days –11, –9, and 0 in a group of 75 patients with MS receiving an autologous HSCT employing the “Mexican method,” which includes high doses of both cyclophosphamide (Cy, 200 mg/kg) and rituximab (1000 mg).

Results:

The median age of the patients was 46 years, with a range of 20–65. Baseline data were defined at day –11 of the HSCT. There were significant changes in serum and urinary electrolytes, which diminished substantially after the delivery of high-dose Cy; 12 patients (16%) developed hyponatremia and 2 had hyponatremia-induced seizures, which resulted in hospital admissions. A comparison of baseline blood metabolites with those obtained after the full Cy dosage (day 0) revealed a significant increase in blood glucose and uric acid levels with an associated decrease in serum calcium, sodium, and potassium levels. The salient findings were drug-induced hyponatremia and hyperglycemia.

Conclusion:

Significant changes in serum electrolytes, blood glucose, creatinine, uric acid, and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) were observed in patients given autologous HSCT for MS employing high-dose Cy. Some of these changes may have clinical consequences, mainly those derived from iatrogenic hyponatremia. No evidence of damage to renal function was observed at day 0.

Published: August 2023

Background:

Sickle cell disease (SCD) is frequently inherited worldwide. The severity of SCD ranges from mild to severe, and the disease involves multiple complications, including pulmonary hypertension, stroke, recurrent vasoocclusive crises, end-organ damage, and an increased mortality risk. Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) is a potentially curative option for patients with SCD.

Objectives of the study:

The objective was to assess the quality of life of adolescent and adult patients with SCD receiving HCT pre-and post-transplant.

Methods:

An analytical cross-sectional study was conducted. Patients with SCD with at least one year of follow-up after HCT were interviewed to assess their quality of life pre-and post-transplant. This study was conducted at the Transplant Center of King Abdulaziz Medical City, Riyadh. The participants were identified through non-probability consecutive sampling. The FACT-G questionnaire was used to assess the quality of life domains.

Results:

Thirty-one patients were included. The median age of the respondents was 32 ± 6.3 years, and 16 were male (51.6%). The most frequent indication for stem cell transplantation (58%) was a vaso-occlusive crisis. The mean FACT-G scores pre- and post-transplantation were 55.2 ± 18.17 and 91 ± 14.58, respectively. The mean number of annual ER visits was significantly reduced from 27.3 pre-transplant to 6.6 post-transplant (P-value = 0.006). Of the respondents, 51.6% experienced no severe complications post-transplantation, and most (93.5%) reported improved quality of life.

Conclusion:

HCT significantly improved the quality of life of adult patients with SCD, with improvements in most FACT-G score domains. Although it was not measured by the FACT-G, the frequency of ER visits and hospital admissions were reduced significantly post-transplant, reflecting an improvement in the quality of life and a reduction in the cost of therapy for patients with SCD.

Published: August 2023

Daratumumab is a first-in-class human anti-CD38 IgG1 monoclonal antibody approved for treating newly diagnosed and relapsed refractory multiple myeloma. Pre-clinical data supported daratumumab's ability to deplete autoantibodies producing plasma cells, B-cells, and NK cells. Those reports showed promising results on using daratumumab in autoimmune disorders that are refractory to multiple lines of therapies, which encouraged using daratumumab in various autoimmune conditions that are refractory to standard therapies. This review aims to summarize the literature reporting experience using anti-CD38 antibodies in hematological autoimmune diseases, focusing on the most common autoimmune hematological diseases, including autoimmune hemolytic anemia, immune thrombocytopenia, posttransplant cytopenia, and pure red blood cell aplasia.

Authors: Builes Natalia , Niño-Serna Laura , Combariza Juan F.
Published: August 2023

Background and objectives:

Several strategies and procedures have been described for thawing umbilical cord blood (UCB) products. The ideal method for each center depends on the resources, staff training, and access to each of these. We retrospectively evaluated the incidence of side effects using the bedside thaw method after unrelated UCB transplantation.

Patients and methods:

For 34 children, patient, donor, graft characteristics, and side effects were identified. In addition, we attempted to identify the risk factors that could be associated with side effects.

Results:

68% of patients experienced any adverse reaction. All the reactions were mild and transient events. The most frequent side effects were vomiting, hypertension, hemolytic reactions, and fever. There were more gastrointestinal events with a faster infusion rate.

Conclusion:

The thawed at the bedside method is a practical, easy, and safe technique for cord blood transplantation in pediatric-patient settings.
Pain, No Gain?
Authors: Braxton Carly , Begian-Lewis Kari , Marback Richard , Fritz Heather
Published: August 2023

Drawing from interviews conducted as part of a study of older African Americans with multimorbidity, we argue how various forms of racism work together to shape communication between doctors and patients. By focusing on what patients say about pain, we highlight patient descriptions of their relationships with pain management, their interactions with healthcare providers, and how they navigate understanding their chronic conditions. Our documentation of patient experience with stigmas and biases suggests what is needed for more empathetic and effective communication within the doctor and patient relationship. We conclude by using the interview data to propose addressing racial inequality in health care in the United States through educational reform and training initiatives grounded in rhetorical research.
Software Architectural Practices: Influences on the Open Source Ecosystem Health
Authors: Amorim Simone da Silva , McGregor John D. , De Almeida Eduardo Santana , Chavez Christina von Flach Garcia
Published: August 2023

The health state of a software ecosystem has been determined by its capacity of growth and longevity. Three health indicators represent a healthy software ecosystem: robustness, productivity, and niche creation. Studies focusing on understanding the causes and processes of the state of health of ecosystems have used these indicators largely. Researchers have intensified studies to understand how to achieve a good health state. Despite the growing number of studies, there is little knowledge about influences and actions to achieve health and, more specifically, that consider the effects of the software architecture on the ecosystem. This article presents a study exploring seven open source ecosystems within different domains to describe the influence of architectural practices on the software ecosystem health in terms of their motivations and effects. Our main goal was to understand how the software architecture and related practices can contribute to a healthy ecosystem. We conducted a netnography-based study to gather practices used to create and maintain the software architecture of these ecosystems. Our study brings evidence that architectural practices play a critical role in the achievement of ecosystems’ health. We found fifty practices that have influenced different aspects of health indicators. We highlight the importance of five influential factors – business goals, experience, requirements, resources, and time-to-market – for motivating the adoption of such practices. These factors may also contribute to understanding different strategies used to achieve a good health state. Moreover, we proposed a novel health indicator, trustworthiness, that accounts for the normal operation of a healthy software ecosystem.
Zero Point Compensation Control of the Proportional Valve with Negative Overlap
Authors: ZENG Le , LI Hongzhang , TAN Jianping , YANG Jun
Published: August 2023

In order to improve the performance of the negative overlapped valve controlled asymmetrical cylinder system, a theoretical zero point model of the valve with symmetric and unequal negative overlap was established. The simulation results showed that the zero point of the system will shift as the load changes, and the error of the theoretical zero point is relatively larger in some certain pressure states. In order to find the zero point quickly and steadily and improve the positioning accuracy of the system, a zero point compensation controller based on theoretical zero point plus error integral control was designed. Compared the pure P controller with the compound control of P controller and zero point compensation controller, the control accuracy of the system has been greatly improved under transient load and sinusoidal load interference.
Lubrication analysis of hydrodynamic-static hybrid bearing with deep-shallow chambers considering thermal conduction
Authors: HUANG Qianwen , ZHAO Zeyu , LIU Huaiguang
Published: August 2023

The oil film separates the shaft-bearing system to reduce the frictional force of contact surfaces with large temperature variations owing to thermal conduction. Multiple impact factors seriously affected the lubrication behavior of the bearing during actual working process. An applicable model regarding the lubrication analysis of a hydrodynamic-static hybrid bearing with deep-shallow chambers is proposed and validated with published literature. The lubrication behavior includes film pressure, load capacity, bearing stiffness and flow rate is numerically calculated with centered finite difference method by solving the Reynolds equation. The influence of film thickness and working temperature are considered, over a range of eccentricity ratio. Moreover, the temperature variation caused by thermal conduction is analyzed in details. To investigate the influence of thermal conduction on the lubrication behavior, the results show that the load capacity, bearing stiffness, friction power, and flow power significantly decline with the consideration of thermal conduction. This study proposes an accurate model that is helpful for the design of hydrodynamic-static hybrid bearings with deep-shallow chambers under low rotational speed, heavy load, and high temperature conditions.

Die Geburt dieser neuen Wissenschaft ist in vollendeter Form enthalten in seinem Traum von Irmas Injektion, der in dieser Studie einer sorgfältigen psychoanalytischen und wissenschaftsgeschichtlichen Analyse unterzogen wird.
Melanchthons Briefwechsel / Band T 16: Texte 4530-4790 (Januar–Juni 1547)
Authors: Melanchthon Philipp
Published: August 2023

Aus seinem Exil in Zerbst beobachtet Melanchthon die Schrecken des Schmalkaldischen Krieges, vertraut aber darauf, dass Gott die Kirche und die Studien erhalten werde. Trost findet er nicht nur in den Briefen, die er bekommt, sondern auch, wenn er selbst schreibt: Von den 272 im Band enthaltenen Stücken stammen gut 240 von Melanchthon. Gerade im Chaos des Krieges empfindet er den Zusammenhalt unter den Gelehrten als besonders wichtig. Zusätzliches Leid beschert ihm die Nachricht vom Tod seiner Tochter Anna Sabinus in Königsberg. Nach der Niederlage des sächsischen Kurfürsten in der Schlacht von Mühlberg flieht Melanchthon mit seiner Familie nach Nordhausen. Mehrere Universitäten, Städte und Fürsten bieten ihm Asyl und Stellen an. Bevor Melanchthon eine Entscheidung fällt, kursieren bereits Gerüchte über die Wiedereröffnung der Wittenberger Universität durch den neuen Landesherrn Moritz von Sachsen.
Schöne neue Medienwelt
Authors: Heinze Achim
Published: August 2023

"Brave New Media World" educates people about media addiction and digitally triggered diseases. After all, the current digital revolution represents a similarly large turning point in human history as industrialization once did. What was initially sold as liberal and harmless consumer pleasure has now gradually turned into superficial politainment, radical depictions of violence, monochrome opinion-making, anticipatory political correctness and low-stimulus edutainment. Ruthless digital Darwinism was elevated to the new ideal. Achim Heinze presents a book that provides both theoretical foundations and uses practical examples to show what successful media literacy looks like in concrete terms.
Clinical Reasoning and Artificial Intelligence
Authors: Ghasemi Ali , Naeimaeyi aali Mahdi
Published: August 2023

Context: Artificial intelligence refers to a set of systems that are capable of performing functions similar to human intelligent functions. Today, artificial intelligence has been successfully incorporated into clinical decision support systems (CDSS). Evidence Acquisition: The current study aimed to briefly present a narrative mini-review on clinical reasoning and artificial intelligence. Data were gathered from Google Scholar, ScienceDirect, and PubMed databases using the "clinical decision support system, artificial intelligence, and clinical reasoning" keywords. Results: Clinical decision support systems are divided into two categories: Knowledge-based and data-driven. The first category is called the rule-based expert system, and the second category is also named the machine-learning system. The usefulness of the mentioned systems and artificial intelligence in interpreting algorithmic and statistical information, where the human element can easily make a mistake, is that they are much more efficient and work with fewer errors. However, when it comes to dealing with a patient and his complaints and symptoms, because of the requirement for clinical judgment, the human element works much better in obtaining a mental image of the patient’s condition. Artificial intelligence is specifically used in scenarios such as the diagnosis of electrolyte disorders, interpreting ECG findings, and recognizing the causes of myocardial hypertrophy. Nonetheless, artificial intelligence has challenges, such as a lack of responsibility for medical decisions and treatment errors. Conclusions: Referring to the above-mentioned benefits and challenges of artificial intelligence, artificial and human intelligence cannot be superior to each other, and both have an irreplaceable role in clinical decision-making. The new view is that the goal of CDSS is to help the physician make better decisions by processing vast pieces of information as a whole entity rather than individually.
Evaluation of the Relationship Between the Characteristics and Dimensions of Calcified Plaques and Coronary Artery Stenosis in Patients Undergoing Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography
Authors: Karami Mehdi , Sajjadieh Khajouei Amirreza , Abdi Shahram , Behjati Mohaddeseh
Published: August 2023

Background: Despite the important role of coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) in determining the features of coronary atherosclerotic plaques, very few studies have investigated the role of plaque dimensions in the process of coronary artery obstruction. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the relationship between the characteristics and dimensions of calcified plaques and coronary artery stenosis using CCTA. Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between calcified plaque dimensions and coronary artery stenosis in patients undergoing CCTA. Patients and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 211 plaques of candidate patients for prospective and retrospective electrocardiography (ECG)-gated CCTA, using spiral scanning at 120 kV. The length, width, thickness, and luminal areas of calcified plaques were assessed in all coronary arteries. Results: The mean rate of stenosis was estimated to be 56.1 ± 24.4%. The number of patients with stenosis < 50% was 100 (47.3%). Stenosis had a significant relationship with the plaque luminal area and the luminal dimeter of the normal coronary artery proximal and distal to the plaque (P < 0.05). However, there was no significant correlation between stenosis and normal luminal area (P > 0.05). Meanwhile, a significant relationship was found between stenosis and the width and length of plaques (P < 0.05). Conclusion: The present results indicated a significant association between stenosis and the width, length, and luminal area of plaques. It can be concluded that plaque dimensions are a predictive factor for stenosis.
Time and the Materiality of Reading
Authors: Arseniev P.
Published: August 2023

This review is devoted to several events that took place in the field of the study of the materiality of reading at the round table of the Higher School of Social Research (École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales), held at the Alcazar Library in Marseille. The organisers of the round table designated its topic as “Reading Time” (Le temps de la lecture). The second element of the review was the recent publication of a book by André Frejomil “Art of the Poacher: a Material history of reading according to Michel de Certeau” (Arts de braconner: une histoire matérielle de la lecture chez Michel de Certeau). The material history of reading, an activity rather perceived as immaterial, comes methodologically from analysis of Michel Foucault’s discourse. As such it is sensitive not only to the materiality of the signs placed on the page, but also to the context of the publication that determines the meaning of what is being read (and not only written and “programmed” by the author). It restores the rights of the material bearers of texts and considers them, along with the techniques of the body-at-reading, as factors involved in the deployment of procedures of comprehension. The material history of reading allows us to see our object as an empirical, social and historically contextualised practice involved in certain communities — not only “interpretative” communities but also in those that could be called “motor”.

Este estudo consiste em um relato de experiência acerca da realização de uma oficina voltada para alfabetização ecológica no Ensino Fundamental (Anos Iniciais), na qual buscou- se pontuar os procedimentos desde o planejamento para a execução da atividade proposta, descrever a interação da temática por parte dos docentes em formação, bem como a reflexão crítica acerca da importância de se abordar essa temática em sala de aula por parte dos educadores. O modelo no qual utilizou-se para orientar a oficina foi baseado na dissertação de mestrado de Cunha (2018), onde o ensino de Ciências transcende as paredes da escola. Essa mudança de rota no ensino de Ciências nessa fase da escolarização depende muito da formação dos professores que atuam na área, bem como suas vivências, seus saberes acerca da região amazônica, e suas habilidades ao trabalhar com materiais didáticos simples e de fácil manuseio.

Published: August 2023

O presente texto tem como objetivo refletir acerca do ensino da matemática no curso de Pedagogia e sua inter-relação com a didática na formação do Pedagogo. Parte-se do entendimento de que os saberes e conhecimentos trabalhados na licenciatura em Pedagogia são, ou deveriam ser, suficientes para fundamentar a prática docente do Pedagogo na ação de ensinar matemática nos anos iniciais do Ensino Fundamental. Esse estudo busca deslindar como a matemática se apresenta na formação inicial do Pedagogo. Em busca de compreensão, questiona-se: Como ocorre o processo de profissionalização do pedagogo em face da base na docência, em especial, a Matemática? A partir do suposto de que a formação inicial em Pedagogia deve se alicerçar em uma sólida base de conhecimentos teóricos e práticos, buscou-se aprofundar a investigação sobre os conhecimentos necessários aos docentes para sua prática profissional. A pesquisa bibliográfica fundamentou-se em investigações realizadas por diversos pesquisadores na área, dentre eles Bromme (1994) e Shulman (1987; 1996). A pesquisa revela que os conhecimentos didáticos e pedagógicos presentes na formação inicial dos docentes precisam contribuir para uma postura reflexiva sobre a própria prática, além da experimentação de diferentes estratégias de ensino. Com isso, espera-se que o professor possa desenvolver uma atuação docente mais consciente, reflexiva e eficaz com condições de trabalho condizentes. Os resultados apontam que a formação inicial do pedagogo deve contemplar a prática pedagógica supervisionada, em que o professor em formação possa experimentar diferentes estratégias de ensino e avaliá-las à luz de referenciais didáticos adotados, para que se efetive uma prática qualificada.
Operações fundamentais com frações: erros cometidos por estudantes do 9º ano

Published: August 2023

O objetivo desse artigo é abordar sobre o desempenho dos alunos e verificar as principais dificuldades na realização de operações com frações. Para tanto, os dados foram coletados por meio da aplicação de um questionário aplicado a 14 estudantes de uma turma do 9º ano do ensino fundamental de uma escola pública do interior do estado de Sergipe. Também, foi aplicado um questionário a uma professora de matemática para averiguar as estratégias utilizadas no ensino das operações com frações. Os resultados nos revelam um baixo índice de desempenho na resolução das quatro operações fundamentais com números fracionários. A análise dos erros cometidos por esses estudantes mostrou que conhecem algumas regras operatórias, entretanto, não sabem em qual operação devem aplicá-la. Para a superação dessas dificuldades, a docente indica o uso de recursos materiais e o ensino de diferentes procedimentos operatórios para que os alunos escolham qual utilizar.

Devido à importância central do papel dos professores no ambiente escolar, é essencial que esses profissionais atuem de maneira efetiva na promoção de hábitos alimentares saudáveis. Trata-se de um estudo descritivo, do tipo relato de experiência acerca da aplicação de uma capacitação “Desmistificando e desrotulando a alimentação”, realizada por profissionais da saúde durante uma atividade de Educação Alimentar e Nutricional que ocorreu no ano de 2022, com professores do Ensino Fundamental de uma Escola Pública localizada no interior do Ceará. Estimulou-se a discussão sobre alimentação saudável entre os professores. Também identificou-se o conhecimento prévio e experiência dos mesmos com o tema: “Desmistificando e desrotulando a alimentação”. Além disso, foi possível proporcionar aos docentes o aprendizado sobre um assunto diferente, através de uma metodologia ativa, permitindo a participação e um conhecimento mais amplo. Portanto, investir na formação dos educadores e na implementação de programas de educação alimentar e nutricional é essencial para uma educação holística e para o desenvolvimento de indivíduos mais conscientes de suas escolhas alimentares e seus impactos na saúde e no meio ambiente.

O artigo tem por objetivo analisar a relação entre educação e sociedade no capitalismo, com base nas teorias pedagógicas. O texto socializa discussões realizadas pelo Grupo de Estudos História, Educação e Pedagogia Brasileira (GEHEPB), está organizado em três partes: a primeira analisa a relação entre a sociedade e a educação, a segunda trata das teorias não-críticas e a terceira aborda as teorias crítico-reprodutivistas e elucida distintas vertentes da teoria pedagógica e suas características no capitalismo. A metodologia, de natureza bibliográfica e empírica, com base na perspectiva crítica-dialética de leituras dos autores: Althusser (2008), Bourdieu; Passeron (2014), Baudelot; Establet (1971), Marx (2017; 2007), Saviani (2013; 2021), Tonet (2005) e discussões desenvolvidas por professoras e pesquisadores da Educação Básica e do Ensino Superior. A coleta de dados foi realizada durante os encontros virtuais do grupo referido, partindo do debate das questões sobre os fundamentos da educação, da formação de professores e pedagogos brasileiros e da relação teoria-prática na atuação docente presente nas diferentes pedagogias e teorias educacionais. Dentre os resultados apresentados no estudo contemplamos formulações, cuja análise do complexo da educação, considera a concreticidade das relações socioeconômicas e as manifestações históricas de ideias educacionais e pedagógicas voltadas para o processo de transformação social.
‘Hope Appeared Like a Flash’: A Performance-Research Narrative of Passages Theatre Group
Authors: Moore Bridie
Published: August 2023

This article explores the work of Passages, a group of performers aged 60 and over, with whom the author researched the performance of ageing and made performance work in an experimental, intimate and participative style. The aim was to investigate if performance could disrupt or ‘trouble’ (Butler 1990) notions of age and ageing, as well as to acknowledge normative constructions of the figure of the old person in Western culture. It describes techniques and insights drawn from the research and shows that these were discovered by engaging – through theatre practice – with age, performance and social theory. It is hoped that practitioners may adapt the pieces and methods for use in their own work. The article evidences audience reception, demonstrates methods of performance practice-as-research and offers insight into the value of the work for Age Studies.

Bornavirus Genes in the Human Genome: Bringing the New from the Old
Authors: Finlay Graeme
Published: August 2023

The genomic era has provided unassailable evidence that humans have evolved from common ancestors we share with chimpanzees and (further back in time) with all other primates and with all other mammals. One class of this evidence is the presence of ancient viral genes that were spliced into the genomes of our prehuman ancestors and transmitted to us. Retroviruses are the classical exemplar of this phenomenon, but more recently genes derived from potentially pathogenic bornaviruses have been discovered in our genome. At least two of these genes have been coopted to provide important functions. The advent of humanity, due in part to capabilities generated by random genetic mechanisms, is describable in theological terms as creatio ex vetere—creation of the new from the old (from stardust and antecedent species). This concept is applicable to the biblical depiction of human development, as seen in the commissioning of humanity as the image of God. Genetic changes are usually innocuous but may generate either disease or new capabilities. The cost of evolution reflects the biblical theme that suffering precedes glory, of which the history of Jesus is paradigmatic. Our biological history argues against our tendency to self-glorification—our hubris—but can be seen, from a theological point of view, to be part of the divine plan by which a redeemed and transformed humanity will be raised to share in the very life of God.
