Liebe – «das weite Herz Gottes, das die Herzen weit macht». Wie wir als Menschen von der Gnade als Akt der Liebe Gottes zur Liebe als Verhalten kommen
Authors: Hochhuth Matthias
Published: August 2023

Ausgehend vom neutestamentlichen Wort «Gott ist Liebe, und wer in der Liebe bleibt, der bleibt in Gott und Gott in ihm» (1Joh 4,16) wird in Anlehnung an den Zürcher Hermeneutiker Gerhard Ebeling das Verhältnis von Gottes Liebe zu seiner Schöpfung – und damit zum Menschen – und der Liebe des Menschen zu Gott dargestellt. Der Weg, um zur Liebe zu kommen, ist der Glaube. Aus dem Glauben und Gottvertrauen wird der Mensch bewegt, sich seinen Mitmenschen und der gesamten Schöpfung liebevoll zuzuwenden. Als Schlüssel für den Zugang zu dieser Bewegung dient im Kontext des Glaubens das Gebet. Im Sprachgeschehen geht es um die Beziehung zwischen Gott, Mensch und Welt. So bleibt die Liebe, auch wenn sie aus der Gnade Gottes kommt, ein Akt des menschlichen Willens und Ausdruck menschlicher Freiheit. Entscheidend dabei ist, dass die Liebe keinen Zweck verfolgt. Bei der Frage nach der Allmacht Gottes, die sich in diesem Zusammenhang stellt, wird einerseits auf die Anfechtung des Menschen verwiesen und zum anderen darauf, dass wahre Liebe befreiend wirkt. Die Gedanken münden in ein modernes Glaubensbekenntnis, das die Bewegung von Gott zum Menschen und über die anderen Menschen zurück zu Gott nachzeichnet.
Gott ist Liebe. Bemerkungen zur Lehre von Gottes Eigenschaften
Authors: Losch Andreas
Published: August 2023

Die christliche Theologie redet biblisch begründet von Gott als Liebe. Aber was besagt diese Attribution Gottes? Zunächst ist zu klären, was das deutsche Wort Liebe bedeutet, und welchen ursprachlichen Begriffen es entspricht, ohne zu sehr vergangenen Schematisierungen zu verfallen. Sodann werden die Ursprünge der Lehre von den göttlichen Eigenschaften präsentiert. Der unterschiedlichen Rolle und Gewichtung der Liebe innerhalb der Lehre von den göttlichen Eigenschaften wird bei einigen klassischen Konzeptionen nachgegangen. Ausgewählt wurden Thomas von Aquin als Vertreter der metaphysischen Tradition, Friedrich Schleiermacher als moderner Neuansatz und Karl Barth als prominente Korrektur Schleiermachers. Schliesslich wird auf die jüngste Konzeption von Wolf Krötke eingegangen, der die Eigenschaften als Gottes «Klarheiten» entfaltet. Das Fazit stellt exemplarische Anfragen an die Lehre von Gottes Eigenschaften, insbesondere an Krötkes Konzeption. Eine zu starke Priorisierung der Liebe als Eigenschaft Gottes ist angesichts ihrer Spannung zu Gottes Allmacht zu hinterfragen. So schön die Vorstellung der Liebe Gottes ist, vielleicht wäre eine Vielfalt der Gott zugesprochenen Eigenschaften gerade in postmodernen Zeiten wieder von Bedeutung.

Published: August 2023

OBJECTIVE

To generate and apply a novel workflow method to assess the quality of data from the Veterinary Committee on Trauma (VetCOT) registry.

ANIMALS

Canine and feline trauma patient data entered by identified and verified Veterinary Trauma Centers into the VetCOT registry between April 2017–December 2018 were retrieved for analysis.

METHODS

Analysis software (RVetQual) was created in the R programming language to compare 5,000 cases exported from the VetCOT registry with samples of original corresponding records from 6 veterinary trauma centers. In addition, an evaluation of the consistency and completeness of the trauma registry was conducted.

RESULTS

The utilization of this analysis tool allowed an assessment of the VetCOT trauma registry. Some of the variables effecting the accuracy, consistency, and completeness of the VetCOT trauma registry were canine and feline age, weight, trauma time entered, and mismatches in blood glucose. However, the completeness of the database was minimally affected.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE

RVetQual is an efficient, accessible, and adjustable tool that facilitates the assessment of the data quality of the VetCOT registry. Such an assessment can lead to improvement of the quality of information serving to guide further trauma patient care.
B- and T-cell lymphocytes and other immune cell infiltration in the duodenal and rectal mucosa of severe asthmatic horses
Authors: Loubière Céline , Moreau Peggy , Marine Rullier , Hélie Pierre , Jean Daniel
Published: August 2023

OBJECTIVE

The objectives of this study were to quantify lymphocytes and eosinophils in the mucosa of the duodenum and rectum in asthmatic horses.

ANIMALS

8 healthy and 10 asthmatic horses.

PROCEDURES

Asthmatic horses were evaluated in a symptomatic (after 6 weeks of exposure to moldy hay) and asymptomatic status (3 and 7 months after being fed alfalfa pellets [n = 4] or treated with inhaled fluticasone [6]). Duodenal and rectal biopsies were endoscopically (n = 4 to 6) taken in each horse. Eosinophils were counted on slides stained with hematoxylin, eosin, phloxine, and saffron, and immunohistochemistry was used to evaluate T and B lymphocytes using CD3 and CD20, respectively.

RESULTS

The duodenal and rectal epithelium of asthmatic and control horses contained exclusively T lymphocytes (CD3). Symptomatic asthmatic horses, compared to controls, had a significantly higher number of T lymphocytes (CD3) in the duodenal epithelium (P = .016) and the adjacent lamina propria of the villi (P = .04). Compared to symptomatic asthmatic horses, the fluticasone-treated group had significantly fewer T lymphocytes in the total lamina propria of the rectal mucosa (P < .01).

CLINICAL RELEVANCE

Taken together, these results suggest that asthmatic horses have greater infiltration of T lymphocytes in the duodenal and rectal mucosa, indicating a certain degree of inflammation, which could be due to a systemic inflammatory effect and/or a local effect of ingested hay allergens in asthmatic horses. Systemic markers of inflammation have not been investigated to better qualify if the infiltration noted is due to a local and/or systemic effect.

Published: August 2023

The Edmodo-assisted classroom flipped classroom model is a learning process by applying the flipped classroom model with the help of Edmodo to deliver learning materials. This study aims to determine the improvement of students' understanding of concepts in sound wave material. The type of research used is pre-experimental design. The design of this study used the Nonequivalent Control Group Design. The sampling technique that the researchers chose was purposive sampling of 40 students consisting of 20 students’ experimental class and control class. The research instruments used are observation sheets and student concept comprehension tests. The data analysis techniques used are learning implementation analysis, calculating the value of students' concept understanding results and N-gain score. The average N-Gain score for the control class was 0.69 with a moderate category. While the average N-Gain score for the experimental class is 0.77, which is included in the high category. So, it can be known that there is an increase in the understanding of students' concepts in the experimental class who apply the Edmodo-assisted flipped classroom model to sound wave material. This increased understanding of the concept occurred because the experimental class implemented an Edmodo-assisted flipped classroom model. In the flipped classroom model, students first learn to understand the learning materials uploaded by the teacher through Edmodo. Learning materials in the form of videos can be played repeatedly through Edmodo, so that students can learn anywhere and anytime without any time limit according to their respective learning.

Published: August 2023

The objective was to study the clinical features of symptomatic hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) depending on the form (familial / non-familial), the age of onset and the presence of arterial hypertension (AH).Methods and materials. During 6 years, we examined 250 HCM patients, 100 patients with symptomatic HCM aged from 18 to 86 years were included in the study. Results. Patients with the clinical manifestations onset at a young age more often had a familial form of the disease, an autosomal dominant type of inheritance, an asymmetric HCM with reverse curve interventricular septal morphology. On the contrary, patients with the clinical manifestations onset at the age of ≥45 years had non-familial form of the disease and asymmetric HCM with basal interventricular septal hypertrophy. The young HCM patients with associated AH more often were obese, had CHF of III–IV functional class (NYHA), larger anteroposterior left atrial diameter than patients without AH and more often needed interventricular septal reduction. HCM patients and associated AH with the disease onset at the age of ≥45 years significantly more often had angina syndrome. Absolute indications for interventricular septal reduction in HCM patients with the disease onset ≥45 years of age were determined only for HCM patients and associated AH. At the same time, 50 % of HCM+AH patients both at a young age and in the older group, had obesity. Conclusions. The interventricular septal morphology differs significantly depending on the age of clinical manifestations onset. Co-existing AH and obesity are predictors of the progressive HCM course and an increase in the proportion of patients with absolute indications for interventricular septal reductions regardless of the age of clinical manifestations onset.

Published: August 2023

In the present work, nonreactive gas–surface interactions between nitrogen molecules and a [Formula: see text]-cristobalite surface are analyzed using the molecular dynamics framework. A sampling method is employed to perform trajectory calculations, and the tangential momentum accommodation coefficient is computed. The credibility of the reactive force field potential to model [Formula: see text] cristobalite is investigated, and the effect of the surface and gas temperatures on the tangential momentum accommodation coefficient is studied in detail. The obtained value of the tangential momentum accommodation coefficient (from molecular dynamics analysis) is used as an input parameter in the Maxwell gas–surface interaction model using the direct simulation Monte Carlo method to investigate the surface heat flux on the nose region of a model reentry vehicle. The computed heat-flux results obtained using a molecular-dynamics-derived accommodation coefficient are found to be in excellent agreement with the experimental data.

Robusta coffee is known for its bitter taste and stronger aroma compared to arabica coffee. Additionally, robusta coffee has a higher caffeine content. Coffee quality is evaluated based on the quality of green coffee beans and the taste of the brewed coffee. A good and delicious coffee taste can be achieved by roasting the coffee beans correctly and using high-quality green coffee beans. This study was conducted to evaluate the taste of quality 1 robusta coffee beans with different sizes - L (7.5 mm in diameter), M (6.5 mm in diameter), and S (5.5 mm in diameter). The experiment was carried out using a simple randomized block design and analyzed using analysis of variance, followed by the LSD test with a 5% significance level. The research was conducted at a coffee processing factory in Satak village, Kediri, East Java in March 2022. The taste testing of the robusta coffee was done using the cupping test method according to the Specialty Coffee Association of America (SCAA) standards. The results of the analysis indicate that the taste of quality 1 robusta coffee beans is significantly affected by the size of the beans in terms of fragrance, flavor, balance, sweetness, and overall taste. Based on the cupping coffee quality classification scores, robusta coffee beans 1S, 1M, and 1L scored <75, which means they are of low quality and considered off-grade.

Modern sciences have some limitations, from scarcity of resources for experimentation to non-availability of data. In the vast universe of “hypotheses not tested,” we have a small lot of proven theories. What is considered as a proven theory is based on certain assumptions; besides they can be colored by the intentions of financers. Truth evolves. Professionals can be proud of achievements but they should not be proud of the principles, which are falsifiable by definition.

Urticarial vasculitis clinically presents with erythematous wheals. The measurement of complement levels is useful in classifying urticarial vasculitis. Here, we describe a rare case of normocomplementemic urticarial vasculitis clinically mimicking subacute cutaneous lupus erythematosus in a young female.
Reactant-Induced Dynamics of Lithium Imide Surfaces during the Ammonia Decomposition Process
Authors: Yang Manyi , Raucci Umberto , Parrinello Michele
Published: August 2023

Ammonia decomposition on lithium imide surfaces has been intensively investigated owing to its potential role in a sustainable hydrogen-based economy. Through advanced molecular dynamics simulations of ab initio accuracy, we show that the surface structure of the catalyst changes upon exposure to the reactants, and a new dynamic state is activated. It is this highly fluctuating state that is responsible for catalysis and not a well defined static catalytic center. In this activated environment, a series of reactions that eventually leads to the release of N2 and H2 molecules become possible. Once the flow of reagent is terminated the imide surface returns to its pristine state. We suggest that by properly engineering this dynamic interfacial state one can design improved catalytic systems.
Conformational Changes and ATP Hydrolysis in Zika Helicase. The Molecular Basis of a Biomolecular Motor Unveiled by Multiscale Simulations
Authors: García-Martínez Adrián , Zinovjev Kirill , Ruiz-Pernía J. Javier , Tuñón Iñaki
Published: August 2023

We computationally study Zika NS3 helicase, a biological motor using ATP hydrolysis energy for nucleic acid remodelling. Through classical and QM/MM simulations, we explore the conformational landscape of Motif V, a conserved loop connecting the active sites for ATP hydrolysis and nucleic acid binding. ATP hydrolysis, initiated by a meta-phosphate group formation, involves the nucleophilic attack of a water molecule activated by Glu286 proton abstraction. Motif V hydrogen bonds to this water via Gly415 backbone NH group, assisting hydrolysis. Post-hydrolysis, free energy is released when the inorganic phosphate moves away from the coordination shell of the magnesium ion, inducing a significant shift in the conformational landscape of Motif V to establish a hydrogen bond between Gly415 NH and Glu285. Zika NS3 helicase acts as a ratchet biological motor with Motif V transitions steered by Gly415’s γ-phosphate sensing in the ATPase site.
Nanoparticle isolation from biological media for protein corona analysis: The impact of incubation and recovery protocols on nanoparticle attributes
Authors: Daramy Karim , Punnabhum Panida , Hussein Muattaz , Minelli Caterina , Pei Yiwen , Rattray Nicholas JW , Perrie Yvonne , Rattray Zahra
Published: August 2023

The use of nanoparticles has increasingly been implemented in biomedical applications including the diagnosis and treatment of disease. When administered to a biological system, nanoparticles spontaneously interact with their surrounding environment, leading to the surface-adsorption of small molecules and biomacromolecules. The protein component of the surface-adsorbed species, is often referred to as the “protein corona”. The composition of the protein corona is governed by nanoparticle properties, incubation media and parameters related to the environment in which nanoparticle incubations are performed. In this study, we investigated the formation of protein corona on polystyrene nanoparticles which have different surface chemistries and the impact of experimental incubation parameters, including centrifugation-resuspension protocols, incubation duration and shear flow rate conditions. The particle characteristics measured include size distribution, zeta potential and total protein content. Our findings show significant differences in nanoparticle size following exposure to media containing proteins across the three different nanoparticle surface chemistries. These findings were also confirmed by total protein concentration measurements performed on nanoparticles recovered from bulk media, and measurements of the composition of surface-adsorbed proteins by gel electrophoresis. We also found that exposure to different shear flow conditions alters both the thickness and the composition of surface-adsorbed protein coronas. In parallel to analysis of nanoparticles isolated using the centrifugation-resuspension protocol, we performed in situ analysis of nanoparticle size in media containing proteins. Results obtained from these measurements highlight that the recovery procedure is disruptive to the protein corona and therefore the need for investigative methods that do not alter the properties of the nanoparticle coronas. Nanomedicines are generally intended for administration via injection, and our findings show that parameters such as shear flow and media composition can significantly alter nanoparticle physicochemical parameters. Overall, we show that the recovery protocol can significantly alter particle parameters in addition to the overall protein composition of surface-adsorbed proteins. We recommend that nanoparticle characterization pipelines studying bio-nano interactions during early nanomedicine development consider experimental design in the context of biologically-relevant shear flow conditions and media composition because these parameters can significantly alter particle physical parameters and the subsequent conclusions drawn from such studies.
G-invariant Persistent Homology on Quotient Spaces
Authors: Chen Zhenghong
Published: August 2023

Persistent homology, building its foundation on homology theory, has been successfully applied various fields containing computation of topology. Here, we derive and implement persistent homology theory to specefic topological spaces with G-invariant covering, whereby persistence over quotient space can be canonically formed. The implementation is validated by comparing against various transformation homomorphisms. Furthermore, it is proved that implementation over normal covering spaces can preserve persistence barcode diagram if charateristic of coefficient is coprime to |G|. These results shed light on potential application of persistent homology to clusters or crystallography in a view of hierarchy structure induced by symmetry.

Published: August 2023

The emergence of more virulent and epidemic strains of viruses, especially with the current COVID-19 pandemic, makes it more important than ever to improve methods of decontamination. The use of vapour dispersion devices or “foggers” have played a critical role in rapidly applying disinfectants over large areas or complex surfaces to prevent the spread of pathogens. The objective of this study was to evaluate the potential of on-demand production of chlorine species to inactivate human coronaviruses. The commercial prototype disinfection unit was provided by Unipolar Water Technologies. The Unipolar device generates active chlorine species using an electrochemical reaction and dispenses the disinfectant vapour onto surfaces with an aspirator. The minimum effective concentration and exposure time of disinfectant were evaluated on human hepatoma (Huh7) cells using 50% tissue culture infectious dose (TCID50) assay and human coronavirus 229E (HCoV-229E), a surrogate for pathogenic human coronaviruses. We showed that chlorine species generated in the Unipolar device inactivates HCoV-229E at ≥ 400 parts per million active chlorine concentration with a 5 min exposure time. Importantly, no toxic effect was observed on Huh7 cells for any of the active chlorine concentrations and contact times tested.

Authors: Bustamante Otero Luis
Published: August 2023

La reciente coyuntura política y la ola de protestas, desatada en el país entre fines del año 2022 e inicios del 2023, han servido para cuestionar diversos aspectos del orden establecido y de las políticas del gobierno con respecto a la situación en el interior del Perú, afectado por una tendencia marcadamente centralista en el ejercicio gubernativo. Al olvido de las provincias, se suman también los efectos de la pandemia y el recrudecimiento de nuestras debilidades institucionales como factores que produjeron un clima de inestabilidad y zozobra. Durante este periodo, los medios de comunicación se ocuparon, especialmente, de las protestas sociales ocurridas en el departamento de Puno, en el sur andino. Sin embargo, en términos históricos, no fueron unos fenómenos nuevos, pues estas protestas tienen una larga tradición en dicha región. El presente artículo hace referencia a la rebelión de Rumi Maqui, en la segunda década del siglo XX, y a los sucesos en Wancho Lima: dos hitos en una historia de olvido y segregación.

INTERSECCIONALIDADE E FEMINISMO NEGRO: AS ESTRATÉGIAS DE DOMÍNIO DE PODER FRENTE À RESISTÊNCIA CONSERVADORA
Authors: LOUREIRO YTHALO FROTA
Published: August 2023

O objetivo desse trabalho é demostrar como a interseccionalidade tem sido utilizada para explicar o patriarcado e o feminismo dentro de novas expectativas que incluam questões de raça, classe, gênero, orientação sexual, entre outras formas de discriminação. Utiliza-se uma metodologia bibliográfica especializada, em especial, de autoras que visualizam a condição social das mulheres de forma mais complexa, como Patricia Hill Collins, Sirma Bilge, e Silvia Federici. Como resultado, verificou-se a expressiva desvalorização do trabalho das mulheres, acentuada por meio da colonização e da escravidão negra em larga escala a partir do século XVII. Os dados são alarmantes no sentido de que as mulheres negras e pardas são as vítimas preferenciais da violência letal. Dessa forma, é importante a busca por novas fontes de debate no feminismo negro e descolonial, destacando-se a doutrina de Judith Butler, Françoise Vergès, Patricia Hill Collins, Lélia Gonzalez, Sueli Carneiro, Djamila Ribeiro, entre outras. O conservadorismo e o feminismo negro possuem estratégias próprios para influenciar a formação da legislação, um jogo de avanços e retrocessos de parte a parte. A predominância do patriarcado tem sido desafiada pelas teorias do feminismo negro descolonial.

Este artigo, estuda a importância das comunidades indígenas e seus territórios, na preservação ambiental das nações, a partir da revisão dos casos dos territórios Raposo Serra do Sol no Brasil e do Parque Nacional Natural El Cocuy na Colômbia, que possuem a presença de comunidades indígenas em seu interior. Esta revisão mostra que nessas áreas a restauração e conservação ambiental são as maiores, em comparação com territórios que não possuem a presença de comunidades indígenas, denotando a importância dos povos indígenas para a preservação geral dos ecossistemas. A metodologia utilizada é a histórica hermenêutica, através da qual será demonstrado o equilíbrio ambiental presente nas áreas de proteção ambiental a cargo dos povos indígenas e a importância de sua relação de vida com os entornos e a proteção especial que deve ser garantida às comunidades indígenas e a seus territórios. Para tanto, será realizada uma revisão de normas, doutrina e jurisprudência, considerando os fatores jurídicos e culturais relevantes aos povos indígenas.
JUSTIÇA AMBIENTAL E ECOLÓGICA NA AMÉRICA LATINA E O MARCO GLOBAL DA BIODIVERSIDADE KUNMING-MONTREAL: IMPLICAÇÕES NA SOCIOBIODIVERSIDADE
Authors: Dutra Tônia Andrea Horbatiuk
Published: August 2023

O contexto global do Antropoceno e da crise climática e as peculiaridades da América Latina em sua rica biodiversidade e histórico de exploração e conflitos territoriais, apontam para aspectos de injustiça social e ambiental que precisam ser sanados para que o novo Marco Global da Biodiversidade, contribua para a integridade ecossistêmica e o florescimento coletivo de toda a comunidade de vida. Diante do exposto, coloca-se a questão: quais as implicações das abordagens de Justiça Ambiental e Ecológica na proteção da sociobiodiversidade na América Latina a partir do Marco Global da Biodiversidade de Kunming-Montreal? Com base no método hipotético-dedutivo e na metodologia de pesquisa bibliográfica e documental, buscou-se responder à questão proposta. Da pesquisa realizada resultou identificada uma série de pontos de confluência entre os objetivos e metas do Acordo firmado com os critérios pertinentes à Justiça Ambiental e à Justiça Ecológica. Considerando a relação entre o contexto da sociobiodiversidade latino-americana e as proposições do Acordo em termos restaurativos e de prevenção às catástrofes em função da crise climática, concluiu-se, então, pela confirmação da hipótese de que, alcançar os objetivos e metas definidos implica recompor as injustiças de caráter decolonial e restaurar os danos ecológicos, resguardando toda a comunidade de vida, ou seja, adotar os parâmetros das Justiças Ambiental e Ecológica.

Authors: Guida Ana Soares , Andrade Juliana
Published: August 2023

O conhecimento de direitos e deveres dos cidadãos deve ser assunto abordado na escola para o exercício da cidadania. A melhor forma de integrar os estudantes a este universo jurídico deve ser através do entendimento dos princípios constitucionais, que resultará em uma sociedade mais justa e igualitária. O desenvolvimento do trabalho foi feito com alunos do Ensino Médio. A primeira parte do artigo consiste em revisão de literatura e a segunda utilizou metodologia ativa, de forma que o professor se posicionou como organizador e orientador do processo de construção de conhecimento, cabendo aos alunos atuarem como protagonistas pois são os reais responsáveis pelo referido processo. O principal questionamento abordado foi a judicialização de políticas públicas, com ênfase no pleito de vagas de creches e escolas infantis públicas. A partir da demonstração de princípios constitucionais que garantem este direito a todos através da igualdade de condições para acesso e permanência na escola, e do dever municipal em ofertar a educação em creches e de educação infantil. O trabalho demonstrou que os alunos compreenderam e discutiram conscientemente os problemas envolvidos na oferta de vagas para todas as crianças que deveriam ter acesso. Houve o entendimento que, caso seja necessário, as famílias poderão judicializar a lide requerendo deferimento do pedido de disponibilidade da vaga pleiteada. Analisando as respostas dos alunos percebeu-se que a maioria dos alunos compreendeu que a questão deveria ser judicializada para se garantir o direito da criança.
O DIREITO COMO APROXIMAÇÃO DA REALIDADE SOCIAL E A SUA RESPECTIVA FUNÇÃO SOCIAL
Authors: Nunes Danilo Henrique , Netto Carlos Eduardo Montes , Teotônio Paulo José Freire
Published: August 2023

O trabalho tem como objetivo principal investigar o Direito como ciência que aproxima a realidade social do indivíduo, visto que é fenômeno histórico, ciência humana, necessária à sociedade e diretamente ligada às mudanças sociais, estas não podem ser ignoradas pelo legislador no exercício do seu mister constitucional, em sua função precípua, qual seja, a de legislar, sem considerar que a mudança social representa uma verdadeira alteração “normativa-social”. Sob os métodos hipotético-dedutivo e de revisão de literatura, conforme se verá, , esse tipo de medida dá ensejo, inclusive, ao controle judicial visando a promoção dos direitos fundamentais em risco ou ameaçados de lesão, devendo o Judiciário se ater, nesses casos, às promessas constitucionais e atuar com base na constituição exercendo por vezes um controle judicial forte, especialmente na defesa de grupos vulnerabilizados, e em outras situações um controle débil, a depender da situação concreta em análise. No decorrer a pesquisa – que não pretende esgotar o tema, mas trazê-lo constantemente ao debate acadêmico – ficará consignado que das relações sociais que surgem nascem determinadas práticas, que trazem novos paradigmas morais e éticos e que podem ser distantes da realidade anterior, da qual se torna imperiosa a mudança dos critérios legais para atingimento da função social da norma, a qual se reitera derradeiramente ser: a estabilização social e a ordenação e pacificação social.
O RACISMO NA REPÚBLICA BRASILEIRA ENQUANTO MARCA DE UM GOVERNO AUTOCRÁTICO

Published: August 2023

O presente trabalho versa sobre o racismo na república brasileira enquanto marca de um governo autocrático, fazendo um recorte histórico inicial nos períodos históricos para poder explanar sobre a referida proposta. Contudo, foi necessário passar pelo período colonial, onde praticamente tudo começou, digo desde o olhar escravocrata perpassando pela fábula das três raças, mito da democracia racial, racismo, discriminação e preconceito, que permeia a nossa sociedade até hoje. Neste sentido, denota-se que a história do Brasil foi permeada de golpes, onde as relações sociais no Brasil colonial representavam um capitalismo particular, institucionalizando a escravidão, fonte primordial de lucro da classe dominante, da autocracia burguesa que se viu em risco com as ideias iluministas. Para tanto, como suporte teórico, as obras de Fausto (2019), Mazzeo (1989), Guimarães (2001), Antônio Cândido (2012), Fernandes (2006), Cardoso de Oliveira (2004), dentre outros foram utilizadas; e como meio auxiliar a legislação, onde metodologicamente, o método utilizado foi o indutivo, com abordagem qualitativa e como técnica a pesquisa bibliográfica. Assim, a prática da discriminação indireta no Brasil revela que a aceitação do negro é apenas aparente e o preconceito é disfarçado, acabando por negar seus direitos em uma república democrática que mascara a dominação de um grupo que está no poder e que representa a maioria que não faz parte do processo, por isso esta manipulação.
