Entering the era of globalization, better known as free market requires every individual to prepare reliable resources, especially in the field of Science and Technology. In order to master these demands, it is required adequate knowledge so that they can use it in dealing with the demands of a globalized world full of competition. In this regard, the role of the English language is required both in mastering communication technologies and to interact directly; moreover, the presence of the media especially the Internet will force people to learn English. As a means of global communication, English should be actively mastered both orally and in written. In an increasingly globalized business world, there are more local Indonesian companies entering into the world market, and growing number of international companies.This research is an attempt to create the roles of exporters, especially the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) through the products produced by the exporters themselves. Of the Indonesian export revenue number to other countries, the value of Indonesia's exports is relatively low, one of the constraints faced by exporters is in terms of the ability of a foreign language, namely English. Mastery of English is the main capital to open international trading communication.This method is expected to eventually be able to provide additional knowledge and self-confidence for the exporters who want to market their products abroad, the title of this study is Preparing SMEs in facing AEC 2015 through English training program to obtain export market (Keywords: Training, Export, ASEAN, MEA)Keywords: Training, Export, ASEAN, MEA

Published: May 2019

We used data from the QUEST-La Silla Active Galactic Nucleus (AGN) variability survey to construct light curves for 208,583 sources over ∼70 deg2, with a limiting magnitude r ∼ 21. Each light curve has at least 40 epochs and a length of ≥200 days. We implemented a random forest algorithm to classify our objects as either AGN or non-AGN according to their variability features and optical colors, excluding morphology cuts. We tested three classifiers, one that only includes variability features (RF1), one that includes variability features and also r − i and i − z colors (RF2), and one that includes variability features and also g − r, r − i, and i − z colors (RF3). We obtained a sample of high-probability candidates (hp-AGN) for each classifier, with 5941 candidates for RF1, 5252 candidates for RF2, and 4482 candidates for RF3. We divided each sample according to their g − r colors, defining blue (g − r ≤ 0.6) and red subsamples (g − r > 0.6). We find that most of the candidates known from the literature belong to the blue subsample, which is not necessarily surprising given that, unlike many literature studies, we do not cut our sample to point-like objects. This means that we can select AGNs that have a significant contribution from redshifted starlight in their host galaxies. In order to test the efficiency of our technique, we performed spectroscopic follow-up, confirming the AGN nature of 44 among 54 observed sources (81.5% efficiency). From the campaign, we concluded that RF2 provides the purest sample of AGN candidates.
Le don, la dette et l’enfant. Une étude-pilote sur la réciprocité dans les familles
Authors: Fischler Claude , Levy-Basse Roseline , Smaïl Mustapha , Serog Patrick
Published: May 2019

La thèse anthropologique d’un équilibre nécessaire entre don et contre-don s’appliquerait-elle à la relation parents-enfants ? Le déséquilibre pourrait-il entraîner des compensations symboliques et somatiques chez l’enfant ? Pour explorer et approfondir cette hypothèse issue d’observations cliniques, une enquête-pilote a porté sur un échantillon composite de parents et d’enfants suivis ou non par des professionnels de santé pour des troubles liés à l’alimentation. On observe que les parents ont massivement le sentiment de donner plus à leurs enfants qu’ils n’ont reçu eux-mêmes, qu’ils n’attendent pas de retour sinon dans un avenir indéterminé ou sous forme de travail scolaire. Les enfants, de leur côté, n’ont ni l’occasion ni le sentiment de « rendre » quoi que ce soit à leurs parents. Certains se plaignent d’un manque de reconnaissance. L’alimentation constitue un domaine particulier : le sentiment de l’investissement parental y paraît plus problématique, particulièrement chez les mères. Les données recueillies soulèvent des questions nouvelles, en relation avec l’investissement ou le surinvestissement parental et la notion de dette inter- ou transgénérationnelle.

Le livre de Perrens contribue à la fondation de la recherche sur les libertins. Il reconnaît la continuité et la cohérence logique de cette forme de libre pensée, se défie des accusations d’athéisme, admire les personnages persécutés et adopte une position nuancée sur la question du libertinage moral. Il esquisse une sociologie de la diffusion des idées et réfléchit sur leur insertion dans l’histoire. Il participe ainsi à la construction d’une catégorie historique complexe, qu’il enrichit plus que les autres fondateurs de cette recherche.
Differences in Test Performance and Learner Satisfaction Among Nurses With Varying Autonomy Levels
Authors: Vallerand April Hazard
Published: May 2019

ABSTRACT

A quasi-experimental study, using a posttest only design, was conducted with a convenience sample drawn from nurses in the Los Angeles area. The study sample consisted of 42 subjects, 37 females and 5 males, who volunteered to attend a continuing education course. Autonomy level was tested for all subjects prior to the course, using Ferrell's Autonomous Learner Index (ALI). Subjects were then randomly placed into one of two treatment groups: a 4-hour lecture-discussion method of instruction or a home study course with a one-month span for completion. Course content for both groups was identical. Following course completion all subjects were given a 25-question, multiple-choice posttest to test knowledge level and asked to complete a modified version of Brown and Holtzman's Study Attitudes Scale (SAS) to measure satisfaction with the educational experience. Analysis of demographic data revealed that the groups were essentially alike except in the areas of sex, present position, and nursing specialty. The t-ratio indicated no difference between the lecture-discussion and home study groups on the ALI, Content Posttest, and SAS scores. Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficients revealed directional support but lack of significance for Hypotheses 1, 2, and 3. Significant findings at the .05 level were obtained for Hypothesis 4, which asserted that nurse learners with a lower autonomy level, participating in the lecture-discussion method of instruction would report a higher level of satisfaction with the educational experience than those nurse learners with lower autonomy levels participating in the home study method. Methodological limitations included selection bias and sample size, lack of ability to measure entry-level knowledge, instruction bias, and errors of measurement. Study replication was recommended using a larger sample size and random sample, and refining and further testing the instruments for reliability and validity.
Dos fábulas antiguas en la literatura árabe clásica y sus formas en la prosa popular posterior: estudio comparativo y edición crítica
Authors: Lerner Amir
Published: May 2019

Este artículo estudia una corta narración en árabe muy conocida a través de diversas versions populares documentadas en manuscritos de diferentes orígenes (Siria, Egipto y Norte de África), comenzando en el siglo XVII. La narración describe cómo un peque.o gorrión queda atrapado en la trampa de un cazador y cómo, mediante todo tipo de estratagemas y usando su ingenio, logra escapar de su terrible destino. Si bien esta narración aparece frecuentemente en los círculos tardíos más populares, muchos de sus elementos esenciales, se pueden rastrear en los escritos árabes medievales clásicos de los orígenes islámicos de Oriente y Occidente, en la mayoría de los casos como dos fábulas distintas. La historia de esta narración se mueve así entre la literatura clásica medieval y la popular premoderna. Incluso toca los márgenes de la historia de las Mil y una noches.
En un artículo reciente se ha examinado un manuscrito datado en el siglo XVII que presenta toda la narración tal y como se encuentra con el ritmo y metro del dialect egipcio en el mawwāl. El presente estudio, basado en un manuscrito, analiza en cambio la adaptación de la narrative popular a la prosa.
La sintaxis del elativo en árabe clásico y árabe moderno escrito
Authors: Michalski Marcin
Published: May 2019

El presente estudio ofrece una visión diacrónica de algunas de las construcciones propias del elativo árabe, partiendo de las etapas tempranas del árabe clásico. Desde entonces, el elativo ha experimentado un desarrollo notable y ha producido varios usos sintácticos desconocidos para los gramáticos árabes clásicos. Especialmente interesante es la evolución histórica y las relaciones semánticas entre las tres estructuras que expresan habitualmente la noción del superlativo en el árabe escrito moderno: 1) elativo + sustantivo singular indeterminado en genitivo (akbaru madīnatin), 2) elativo + sustantivo ñural determinado en genitivo (akbaru l-muduni), y 3) elativo usado como atributo de un sustantivo determinado (al-madīnatu l-akbaru), todas ellas traducibles como “la ciudad más grande”, pero diferentes entre sí en ciertos aspectos. Se puede observar una tendencia a crear simetrías en el sistema sintáctico del elativo como atributo adjetival, por una parte, y, por otra parte, la forma de expresar una gradación comparativo - superlativo mediante la misma estructura sintáctica (atribución adjuetival) que solo difiere en cuanto a la (in)determinación. Además, una estructura que solo se documenta de forma marginal en árabe clásico, es decir, los elativos de esquema C1uC2C3ā + sustantivo plural en genitive, pasa a ser usado de forma frecuente en el árabe escrito moderno. El plural que le corresponde, C1uC2C3āayāt, es una innovación cuya expansión, particularmente en el lenguaje periodístico, se puede atribuir a la tendencia a la desambiguación.

Medication adherence is critical to the effectiveness of benznidazole (BZ) therapy for the treatment of Chagas disease. Assessing BZ adherence using traditional plasma sampling methods presents numerous challenges in resource-limited settings. Dried blood spot (DBS) sampling of BZ can be used to overcome logistical barriers and provides a less invasive method for assessing BZ levels. A BZ DBS assay using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry was developed and applied to a clinical study of infants and children being treated with BZ for Trypanosoma cruzi infection in Argentina. The assay was validated over a concentration range of 9.8–5,000 ng/mL. Inter-assay and intra-assay measures ranged from −2.9% to 2.7% and 0.5% to 8.3% for accuracy and from 3.5% to 12% and 1.6% to 13.6% for precision, respectively. The mean recovery of BZ was greater than 91%. Partitioning ratios for DBSs/plasma ranged from 0.95 to 1.02. A cohort of 10 infants and six children with T. cruzi infection being treated with BZ had median BZ concentrations of 1.2 (IQR 0.29, 2.14) µg/mL with seven of 65 (11%) samples above the BZ treatment goal of 3 μg/mL for adults. The reported DBS assay is a simple and accurate method for the quantitative measurement of BZ that can be applied to facilitate urgently needed clinical studies of BZ for the treatment of Chagas disease and assess BZ adherence in resource-limited settings.

Authors: Paixão Maria Margarida , Ballouz Tala , Lindahl Johanna F.
Published: May 2019

Arboviral diseases are responsible for a high burden of disease in humans, and a significant part of disease risk reduction efforts relies on vector control methods. The elimination of potential breeding sites for the mosquito vectors and a higher level of literacy by the populations at risk could present a sustainable and environmentally friendly solution. This review aims to assess the efficacy of educational interventions for arboviral diseases on knowledge and self-reported behavior. A systematic literature search was performed using Cochrane, EMBASE, Global Health, and PubMed. References of articles retrieved were searched manually for further studies. Critical appraisal of the selected articles was performed using the Effective Public Health Practice Project tool, and studies with a control group were further assessed through the Cochrane’s risk of bias tool. A summary narrative of the results and a meta-analysis was conducted. Fourteen studies fulfilling the inclusion criteria were analyzed. Overall, there was an increase in knowledge and in self-reported adoption of protective measures. No effect was found using solely printed material. A meta-analysis was performed separately for the two outcomes measured, which produced a mean standardized difference of 1.86 (95% CI: 1.33–2.39) in knowledge scores compared with the control groups. Regarding the self-reported protective behavior, the results show a summary value of odds ratio of 5.23 (95% CI: 3.09–7.36). Most of the educational interventions had a positive impact on knowledge and self-reported adoption of protective measures. More research producing stronger evidence and evaluating long-term impact is needed.

The changes provided by the EEES constitute a challenge and an opportunity to introduce methods and improvements in technical careers. The assessment of this scenario has an important and strategic role, which requires paying more attention to the competency evaluation. This paper describes the method and the collaborative task carried out to develop the rubrics for the three-year Workshop Project in the framework of the undergraduate Bachelor’s Degree in Industrial Design Engineering and Product Development. The purpose of this was to overcome challenges while assessing design projects in different workshops and by different professors. The team predicted that these rubrics would have a significant effect on the students’ outcomes and their performance on various tasks. The implementation of the rubrics on the different levels is expected to sustain interesting possibilities to compare not only the results in different courses but the actual progress. The stages of the process of making these rubrics are presented in relation to the specific, general and shared competences of each of the 3 workshops. The rubrics, that will be published online, are related to the assessment of the results obtained and the competences. Rubrics may not only boost academic performance and reduce failure, but improve the quality of the projects as well.

O presente artigo visa analisar a existência de um estado de caos na Justiça Federal brasileira e a possibilidade de sua reversão por meio da arbitragem, entendida, esta, como uma nova ordem voltada à garantia da dignidade da pessoa humana no âmbito da Justiça Federal brasileira. Com esse intuito, foram investigadas a definição do que seja arbitragem, a Teoria da Complexidade de Edgar Morin e a atividade jurisdicional e suas repercussões em matéria de direito de acesso à justiça, tendo por contexto a existência de vida digna de ser vivida e a construção de uma sociedade justa e solidária, preconizadas na Constituição Federal de 1988. Para a obtenção dos resultados almejados pela pesquisa, o método de abordagem seguido foi o empírico-dialético, utilizando-se das pesquisas bibliográfica e legislativa, tendo como tendo como sistema de referência uma combinação da Teoria da Complexidade de Edgar Morin, do Constructivismo Lógico-Semântico de Paulo de Barros Carvalho, e do Law and Economics de Richard A. Posner. Em conclusão, aponta-se que a arbitragem pode revelar-se como uma alternativa apta a reverter o caos instalado na Justiça Federal brasileira e a garantir uma vida digna de ser vivida, por meio de uma resolução de conflitos tempestiva, tanto no âmbito da arbitragem quanto no âmbito da Justiça Federal brasileira.

Abstract. Comprehensive chlorine heterogeneous chemistry is incorporated
into the Community Multiscale Air Quality (CMAQ) model to evaluate the impact
of chlorine-related heterogeneous reaction on diurnal and nocturnal nitrate
formation and quantify the nitrate formation from gas-to-particle
partitioning of HNO3 and from different heterogeneous pathways. The
results show that these heterogeneous reactions increase the atmospheric
Cl2 and ClNO2 level (∼ 100 %), which further
affects the nitrate formation. Sensitivity analyses of uptake coefficients
show that the empirical uptake coefficient for the O3 heterogeneous
reaction with chlorinated particles may lead to the large uncertainties in
the predicted Cl2 and nitrate concentrations. The N2O5
uptake coefficient with particulate Cl− concentration dependence
performs better in capturing the concentration of ClNO2 and nocturnal
nitrate concentration. The reaction of OH and NO2 in the daytime
increases the nitrate by ∼15 % when the heterogeneous chlorine
chemistry is incorporated, resulting in more nitrate formation from
HNO3 gas-to-particle partitioning. By contrast, the contribution of
the heterogeneous reaction of N2O5 to nitrate concentrations
decreases by about 27 % in the nighttime, when its reactions with
chlorinated particles are considered. However, the generated gas-phase
ClNO2 from the heterogeneous reaction of N2O5 and
chlorine-containing particles further reacts with the particle surface to
increase the nitrate by 6 %. In general, this study highlights the
potential of significant underestimation of daytime concentrations and overestimation of
nighttime nitrate concentrations for chemical transport models without proper
chlorine chemistry in the gas and particle phases.
The Impact of Neglecting Ice Phase on Cloud Optical Depth Retrievals from AERONET Cloud Mode Observations

Published: May 2019

Abstract. Cloud optical depth remains a difficult variable to represent in climate models, and hence there is a need for high-quality observations of cloud optical depth from locations around the world. Such observations could be readily obtained from Aerosol Robotic Network (AERONET) radiometers using a two-wavelength retrieval method. However, the method requires an assumption that all of the cloud in a profile is liquid, and this has the potential to introduce errors into long-term statistics of retrieved optical depth. Using a set of idealised cloud profiles, we find that the fractional error in retrieved optical depth is a linear function of the fraction of the optical depth that is due to the presence of ice cloud (“ice fraction”), with a magnitude of order 55 % to 70 % for clouds that are entirely ice. We derive a simple linear equation that could potentially be used as a correction at AERONET sites where ice fraction can be independently estimated. The greatest contribution to error statistics arises from optically thick cloud that is either mostly or entirely ice. Using this linear equation, we estimate the magnitude of the error for a set of cloud profiles measured at five sites of the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement programme. Instances of such clouds are not frequent, with less than 15 % of cloud profiles at each location showing an error of greater than 10. However, differences in the frequency of such clouds from one location to another affect the magnitude of the overall mean error, with sites dominated by deep tropical convection and thick frontal mixed-phase cloud showing greater errors than sites where deep clouds are less frequent. The mean optical depth error at the five locations spans the range 2.5 to 5.5, which we show to be small enough to allow calculation of top-of-atmosphere flux to within 10 %, and surface flux to about 15 %.
Entangled Dynamos and Joule Heating in the Earth’s Ionosphere
Authors: Buchert Stephan C.
Published: May 2019

Abstract. The Earth's neutral atmosphere is the driver of the well-known Solar quiet (Sq) and other magnetic variations, observed since more than 100 years. Yet the understanding of how the neutral wind can accomplish a dynamo effect has been incomplete. A new viable model is presented, where a dynamo effect is obtained only in case of winds perpendicular to the magnetic field B that spatially vary along B. Uniform winds have no effect. We identify Sq as being driven by wind differences at magnetically conjugate points, and not by a neutral wind per se. The view of two different but entangled dynamos is favoured, with some conceptual analogy to quantum mechanical states. Because of the large preponderance of the neutral gas mass over the ionized component in the Earth's ionosphere the dominant effect of the plasma adjusting to the winds is Joule heating. The amount of global Joule heating power from Sq is estimated, with uncertainties, to be much lower than Joule heating from ionosphere-magnetosphere coupling at high latitudes in periods of strong geomagnetic activity. However, on average both contributions could be relatively evenly matched. The global contribution of heating by ionizing solar radiation in the same height range should be 2–3 orders of magnitude larger.
Long-term trends in pH in Japanese coastal waters
Authors: Ishizu Miho , Miyazawa Yasumasa , Tsunoda Tomohiko , Ono Tsuneo
Published: May 2019

Abstract. In recent decades, acidification of the open ocean has shown consistent increases. However, analysis of long-term data in coastal waters shows that the pH is highly variable because of coastal processes and anthropogenic carbon inputs. It is therefore important to understand how anthropogenic carbon inputs and other natural or anthropogenic factors influence the temporal trends in pH in coastal waters. Using water quality data collected at 1481 monitoring sites as part of the Water Pollution Control Program, we determined the long-term trends in pH in Japanese coastal waters at ambient temperature from 1978 to 2009. We found that pH decreased (i.e., acidification) at between 70 % and 75 % of the sites and increased (i.e., basification) at between 25 % and 30 % of the sites. The rate of decrease varied seasonally and was, on average, −0.0014 yr−1 in summer and −0.0024 yr−1 in winter, but with relatively large deviations from these average values. While the overall trends reflect acidification, watershed processes might also have contributed to the large variations in pH in coastal waters. The seasonal variation in the average pH trends reflects variability in warming trends, while regional differences in pH trends are partly related to heterotrophic water processes induced by nutrient loadings.
Imaging the East European Craton margin in northern Poland using extended correlation processing of regional seismic reflection profiles
Authors: Mężyk Miłosz , Malinowski Michał , Mazur Stanisław
Published: May 2019

Abstract. In NE Poland, Eastern European Craton (EEC) crust of
Fennoscandian affinity is concealed under a Phanerozoic platform cover and
penetrated by sparse, deep research wells. Most of the inferences
regarding its structure rely on geophysical data. Until recently, this area
was covered only by the wide-angle reflection and refraction (WARR) profiles,
which show a relatively simple crustal structure with a typical three-layer
cratonic crust. ION Geophysical PolandSPAN™ regional seismic
programme data, acquired over the marginal part of the EEC in Poland, offered
a unique opportunity to derive a detailed image of the deeper crust. Here,
we apply extended correlation processing to a subset (∼950 km) of the PolandSPAN™ dataset located in NE Poland, which
enabled us to extend the nominal record length of the acquired data from 12
to 22 s (∼60 km of depth). Our new processing revealed
reflectivity patterns, which we primarily associate with the
Paleoproterozoic crust formed during the Svekofennian (Svekobaltic) orogeny,
that are similar to those observed along the BABEL and FIRE profiles in the
Baltic Sea and Finland, respectively. We propose a mid- to lower-crustal,
orogeny-normal lateral flow model to explain the occurrence of two sets of
structures that can be collectively interpreted as kilometre-scale S–C′
shear zones. The structures define a penetrative deformation fabric invoking
ductile extension of hot orogenic crust in a convergent setting. Localized
reactivation of these structures provided conduits for subsequent
emplacement of gabbroic magma that produced a Mesoproterozoic
anorthosite–mangerite–charnockite–granite (AMCG) suite in NE Poland.
Delamination of thickened orogenic lithosphere may have accounted for
magmatic underplating and fractionation into the AMCG plutons. We also found
sub-Moho dipping mantle reflectivity, which we tentatively explain as a
signature of the crustal accretion during the Svekofennian orogeny. Later
tectonic phases (e.g. Ediacaran rifting, Caledonian orogeny) did not leave a
clear signature in the deeper crust; however, some of the subhorizontal
reflectors below the basement, observed in the vicinity of the AMCG Mazury
complex, can be alternatively linked with lower Carboniferous magmatism.
Tropeiros e colonos e a construção da estrada de Blumenau a curitibanos
Authors: Goularti Filho Alcides
Published: May 2019

Este artigo tem por objetivo estudar a construção da Estrada de Blumenau a Curitibanos durante o último quartel do século XIX e início do século XX.  O texto focaliza nos aspectos econômicos (fluxo mercantil), demográficos (expansão da colonização) e políticos (relação entre a Colônia e o Estado). A construção dessa estrada tinha por objetivo integrar o Vale do Itajaí, região de colonização europeia e da pequena produção mercantil, ao planalto serrano, região de grandes fazendas e tropeirismo. O texto está dividido em cinco tópicos: 1) a introdução, que destaca a construção de estradas e a definição do território catarinense; 2) a expansão da colonização e a necessidade de abrir caminhos e estradas para fixar os colonos; 3) a aproximação das duas regiões por meio do fluxo mercantil; 4) as obras de manutenção da estrada após a conclusão parcial em 1877; 5) a conclusão das obras e a ampliação dos investimentos no período republicano. Por fim, o texto também traz breves considerações finais.
“La experiência de nuestros tempos que es madre de todas las cosas”
Authors: Bonato Tiago
Published: May 2019

O ambiente cultural do início do período moderno foi marcado por uma gradual, porém drástica, mudança nas concepções de mundo clássica e medieval. Com os conflitos gerados pelo encontro entre o conhecimento tradicional medieval, a redescoberta de obras gregas de geografia e a contínua experiência de navegação dos séculos XV e XVI, os estudiosos europeus se viram obrigados a conciliar teorias antigas, dogmas religiosos e dados empíricos que na maioria das vezes eram dissonantes. O intuito desse artigo é analisar esse quadro, a partir de uma bibliografia que discute a formação dos campos da geografia, cosmografia e cartografia ao mesmo tempo em que o continente americano, até então desconhecido, se descortinava perante os olhos dos navegadores europeus. Na primeira parte, a discussão gira em torno dos modos pelos quais se compreendia o universo naquele momento e o estado das disciplinas que pretendiam dar conta do mundo habitado – o orbis terrarum ou oikoumene. Na segunda parte, pretendo discutir o problema, prática e teoricamente complexo, de como se mapear regiões poucos conhecidas no período
DOCÊNCIA MASCULINA E MEMÓRIAS DE GÊNERO NA EDUCAÇÃO DA INFÂNCIA
Authors: De Faria Adriana Horta , Sarat Magda , Montiel Larissa Wayhs Trein
Published: May 2019

O objetivo deste artigo, busca verificar e analisar as implicações do conceito de gênero na trajetória docente de um professor que lecionou para crianças, em um espaço que se constituiu majoritariamente como feminino ao longo do século XX. A opção metodológica foi a História Oral temática produzindo uma documentação a partir das memórias deste professor. As memórias de sua trajetória docente serão analisadas à luz das teorias de Norbert Elias e bibliografia da temática. Tais perspectivas nos permitem apontar que no espaço escolar percebemos redes de dependência, interdependência e poder sempre presentes nas relações de gênero, envolvendo os docentes e suas trajetórias profissionais.
Corpo, Gênero e Sexualidade no Cotidiano Escolar: Possíveis olhares
Authors: Cesar Carolina Sobreira
Published: May 2019

A escola é marcada por conflitos e tensões sociais que influenciam o ensino e aprendizagem: inovações tecnológicas, diversidade de comportamentos, novas configurações familiares, diversidade religiosa, cultural e étnica. Nesta perspectiva, percebemos uma temática que emerge como problema em meio a tantas questões: gênero, sexualidade e o modo como a escola se posiciona diante dos discursos e práticas discriminatórias. Assim, esta pesquisa investigou o currículo praticado e sua relação com o gênero e a sexualidade no cotidiano de uma escola pública do município de Barra Mansa-RJ. A metodologia se deu por intermédio dos Estudos do Cotidiano e os instrumentos foram entrevistas semiestruturadas e o caderno de campo. Percebemos que a construção de gênero e sexualidade perpassa por questões sócio-históricas e culturais que busca normalizar comportamentos e atitudes no chão da escola.

A ESCOLA COMO TEMPO/ESPAÇO DE RESISTÊNCIA E SUPERAÇÃO DAS DESIGUALDADES: A RELAÇÃO COM OS TERRITÓRIOS
Authors: Campos Dulcinéa , Silva Itamar Mendes da Silva Mendes , Valpassos Carolina Falco Fernandes
Published: May 2019

Este artigo especifica as análises e discussões desenvolvidas sobre a temática escola: espaços e tempos de reprodução e resistências da pobreza, com foco na relação da escola com o seu território, realizadas com o objetivo de identificar como a escola se relaciona com os seus territórios empobrecidos e analisar as implicações dessa relação para a produção de resistência e da superação da pobreza. Adotou uma pesquisa qualitativa baseado no método dialético.  Evidenciou que as escolas não desenvolvem uma relação efetiva com os seus territórios no sentido de reconhecê-los como espaços importantes de aprendizagem e de produção de vida.

Os acidentes mais prevalentes em pré-escolares são atropelamentos, afogamentos, quedas, ferimentos e queimaduras. Cuidadores, professores e profissionais da saúde envolvidos no cuidado a essas crianças devem estar centrados em ações de prevenção. O objetivo deste estudo foi investigar as intervenções educativas para prevenção de acidentes em pré-escolares descritas na literatura científica. Revisão integrativa realizada nas bases de dados Scopus, Web of Science, CINAHL, Medline, LILACS, IBECS,BDENF, CUIDEN e na biblioteca virtual Cochrane, utilizando os descritores educação em saúde, prevenção de acidentes e pré-escolares. Foram selecionados 19 estudos, sendo que 13 destes incluíram cuidadores como público-alvo. As tecnologias educacionais mais empregadas foram os jogos, vídeos, materiais informativos, aconselhamentos e palestras. Evidenciou-se que, a adequada seleção da abordagem pedagógica e da tecnologia educacional considerando o contexto sociodemográfico e cultural do público-alvo pode promover melhor efeito no conhecimento nas intervenções educativas acerca da prevenção de acidentes.
A New Letter from Poe to Lowell on the Pioneer
Authors: Mckee Gabriel
Published: May 2019

Edgar Allan Poe's tale “The Tell-Tale Heart” was first published in the premiere issue of the Pioneer, an ambitious and short-lived literary journal edited by James Russell Lowell and Robert Carter. In 2013, a previously unpublished letter from Poe to Lowell, dated November 24, 1842, was auctioned at Christie's and is now in private hands. This letter contains Poe's offer of the tale to Lowell and his first mention of its title to the editor that went on to publish it. This article, based on direct examination of the letter, provides its full text, along with a contextual discussion of the Pioneer's brief existence and an exploration of the relationship between Poe and Lowell from their first correspondence in 1842 to their falling out and mutual criticism in the late 1840s. The newly discovered letter gives us a more complete picture of the publication of one of Poe's best-known tales and of the relationship between two major figures of nineteenth-century American literature.
How Poe's Devil Helped Corrupt Mark Twain's Hadleyburg
Authors: Eddings Dennis W.
Published: May 2019

While we have no full-length study focusing specifically on the connections between Edgar Allan Poe and Mark Twain, several books and articles provide some details of the many links between them. Such commentary almost always focuses on Poe's “serious” tales. What little notice given to the influence of Poe's comic tales on Mark Twain is sparse and almost universally negative. Yet given Mark Twain's comic genius it would seem natural not only that he would be aware of, but also appreciative of, Poe's humor. Taking it one step further, it seems to me that Mark Twain would also recognize and appreciate the satiric thrust of many of Poe's humorous tales. Furthermore, if Poe exerted the influence on Mark Twain that several critics suggest, then exploring the role of his comic tales in terms of that influence could well prove meaningful. A case for precisely this point can be made by examining the influence of Poe's comic tale “The Devil in the Belfry” on Mark Twain's “The Man That Corrupted Hadleyburg.”
In Pym's Footsteps
Authors: Tatsumi Takayuki
Published: May 2019

Since the 1970s I have been attracted by Poe's one and only novel, Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket (1838), with its apparently disorganized but radically self-referential narrative that seemed, then, to represent allegories of speech and writing. Even in the 2010s this novel requires us to reread its textuality. For the year 2015 saw a coincidence between Ron Howard's film In the Heart of the Sea and Shinya Tsukamoto's Fires on the Plain (1952), the latter film based on the original novel written by the postwar Japanese mainstream novelist Shohei Ooka (1909–1988), a big fan of Poe's Pym. It was Ooka's Fires on the Plain that inspired that major British speculative fiction writer J. G. Ballard (1930–2009) to write one of his early major novels, The Drowned World (1962), and other stories. If my first reading of Pym in the 1980s was deconstructive, my second one in the 1990s New Historicist, my third rereading in the 2010s aims to contribute to transnational literary history. It is not necessarily the case that Poe directly produced his literary descendants, but it is highly possible that the psychic and traumatized borders of Ooka's mind-scape in wartime and Ballard's techno-scape in our hyper-capitalist age continue to elaborate anew the way we read the picturesque art of Poe's nineteenth-century landscape garden and his narrators’ crowded interior spaces for our twenty-first century.
