Published: December 2023

Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is a common side effect of many anticancer drugs that may cause various symptoms altering the quality of life. We conducted a systematic review to evaluate the peripheral and central nervous system changes associated with CIPN and detected by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Medical literature databases (PubMed, Scopus, Thomson Reuters - Web of Science and Embase) were searched for original studies reporting the use of MRI in the evaluation of CIPN. A total of 31 studies were identified and 9 were eligible for analysis. Results indicate few changes of the peripheral nervous system, most CIPN-associated nervous alterations involving pain processing areas and circuits inside the central nervous system. Distinct patterns of pain processing, changes in cerebral perfusion and gray matter density together with chronic activation of somatosensory areas have been observed in patients with CIPN compared to healthy subjects or cancer patients who did not develop CIPN. Identification of vulnerable brain areas and circuits may indicate future targets for novel therapies directed to prevent or treat CIPN. A preexisting vulnerability suggested by a unique pattern of brain activation following nociceptive stimulation prior to chemotherapy could help identify high-risk individuals, candidates to close monitoring and preventive strategies.

Published: December 2023

Suicide-related issues are among those that have been the focus of philosophers of all time. The attitude to the problem of suicide as a social phenomenon from biblical times to the present should also be talked about by today's students, so the research work with gifted students will be effective, because today's children wonder who they are, what their mission is and the meaning of life and death raises the question of the social meaning of suicide. Philosophy and religion, law and duty, social and public are intertwined here. Christianity considers suicide a sin. Although there are examples in the Old Testament where cases of voluntary death look like heroic deeds. Suicide becomes an absolutely sinful act at a certain historical time, when it has become too frequent. Adjustments to Christian ethics with its prohibitions were made by the Enlightenment and the right to shorten one’s life became one’s personal choice. The article presents the research of gifted students on the question of attitudes towards suicide from ancient times to the Middle Ages (group 1); attitudes towards suicide from the Middle Ages to the present (group 2); attitudes towards suicide from the New Age to the present (group 3). The research work is carried out for the purpose of condemning any manifestations of suicidal behavior, deep understanding of this problem from the most ancient times to the present.

Published: December 2023

The game of chess requires many hours of training in order to achieve the title of FIDE Master. The complex nature of the game requires higher cognitive skills and implicitly helps their development. We selected 2 third grade classes that have a total number of 67 pupils. They were assessed initially and finally to measure the intelligence quotient (I.Q.) and the level of spatial orientation. For testing the I.Q., we used the Raven Progressive Matrix and for the level of spatial orientation, the Bender-Santucci test. To check if the progress is statistically significant, we used paired samples t-test and calculated Cohen's d to quantify how large the difference between the two tests is. We performed a simple linear regression between intelligence and spatial orientation to see if the intelligence quotient is a predictor of the level of spatial orientation. We discover an upward regression line between I.Q. and spatial orientation. In conclusion, the level of spatial orientation can be improved through chess and this will positively influence the student's academic progress.

Published: December 2023

During the past decade there has been a dramatic increase in the number of cosmetic surgery procedures. This increase has in turn piqued the interest in the psychological aspects of this newly popular procedure.
The aim of the current study was to ascertain psychosocial factors expected to predict an interest in cosmetic surgery. For this purpose, we compared the results obtained by two groups of research on the following psychological variables: body images, self-esteem, appearance anxiety, subjective happiness, life satisfaction.  The first group (surgery group -SG) was composed of 72 participants recruited from a private plastic surgery clinic in Bucharest, Romania.  The second group (non-surgery group -NSG) was selected from the general population who are not willing to perform cosmetic surgery now or at any time soon. Individuals/participants were split into two homogeneous groups according to age, marital status, gender and education level. The data was analysed using correlation and multiple regression in order to identify any possible relationships between the variables, as well as find the best predictor for the likelihood of undergoing cosmetic surgery. 
Analyses revealed self-esteem, overweight preoccupation, body satisfaction, subjective happiness and marital status significantly predicted higher levels of self-reported of acceptance aesthetic interventions. Self-esteem and body image were the strongest predictors of cosmetic surgery motivation. This information can help elucidate the psychological characteristics of individuals who are interested into and looking for cosmetic surgeries and significantly focus upon the relevance of the preliminary interview for patient screening when it comes to cosmetic

Published: December 2023

The article examines the problem of interdependence of post-industrial society and the level of education based on the study of scientific and periodical sources. The meaning of the concept of "smart education" is clarified, its main elements are described. Studying the development of smart education in different regions of the world, conclusions are made about the impact of economic inequality and objective negative processes such as war. On the other hand, if previously weaker states involved the elements of intelligent education at a slow pace, today the acceleration of this pace is dictated by the objective world situation. The topicality of the topic is confirmed by the global focus on education problems, since today the crisis demonstrated the practically underdeveloped mechanism of smart education in all countries, which in difficult conditions was the most unbalanced, and in some regions was absent at all. The practical significance of the article is that the conclusions about the application of neuroscientific analysis of smart technologies, especially foreign ones, can be used in the smart concept of our country.

Published: December 2023

An attempt is made to comprehend the latest developments in such a field of neuroscience as neuroethics, music through the perception of the human brain. Yes, for example, the key ideas of neuroethics are generally in line with the spirit of Kantian apriorism, reinterpreted in the current terms of cognitive neuroscience. Today, more and more arguments are found that "music excites such internal physiological programs that contribute to the restoration of the homeostatic equilibrium of the organism .... This means that music plays a role in human evolution.
The article proposes the concept of a musical module, which correlates with a cognitive neurostructure. The theoretical and methodological features of the formation of today's classical music are investigated. The methods of analysis, synthesis, explanatory, research and scientific methods have been applied to conduct an effective research. Priority directions of modern music development in the context of neurophysiological development have been determined. Formed the results of the study, which were the basis for determining aspects of prospective musical development. Scientific research in the field of music and the field of psychology is investigated, which is the basis for the development of neuroscience. The relevance of the article is determined by the need to adapt music to the challenges of information and communication society and to determine the prospects for further development of today's classical music.

Published: December 2023

The importance of knowledge management in facilitating a successful transition to a circular economy through the creation of a circular business model, as a substitute for the conventional linear economic approach, has not been extensively explored. The capacity of a company to coordinate, generate, and disseminate knowledge plays a crucial role in developing environmentally friendly industries and creating new employment opportunities. This article employs a literature review methodology to establish the connection between knowledge management and the shift towards a circular economy. The findings reveal that a company's eco-innovation process relies heavily on strategic knowledge management. Consequently, a comprehensive understanding of the system and self-motivated creativity are crucial components of expertise in creating sustainable circular business models. Hence, companies must consistently enhance their knowledge base to improve business processes, eco-efficiency, and eco-innovation.

Published: December 2023

Depression is a common emotional state in humans, which is sometimes triggered by stressful events and certain physical and/or mental conditions that may occur and may increase the body's vulnerability to various types of depressive disorders, causing sometimes organic changes difficult to quantify and to treat. Depressive conditions are major clinical problems that occur throughout life and often require a specialized treatment, but the use of the antidepressant compounds is often endangered by the risk of formidable side effects, requiring to stop the treatment or to use medicine doses that cannot determine the desired therapeutic results. These are reasons for the impressive expansion of the research on the depression types, with emphasize on etiological and etiopathogenetical studies, allowing the discovery of compounds with good therapeutic potential and an appropriate pharmacological profile to reduce the side effects. Diabetes (diabetes mellitus) is a major public health problem, with increasing costs and frequency in recent years. Late diagnosis, inadequate treatment, lack of ongoing monitoring or ignorance of the disease can have serious consequences for the health of that individual, his family and his community. The mental state of a patient with diabetes is different from one moment to the next and varies with the stage of the disease and the appearance of various complications. The stress of chronic illness, the pressure to have a lifestyle and a diet according to medical recommendations, sadness, anger and even denial of the disease, are feelings experienced by patients with diabetes at least once in their lives.
Mental Health and Environmental Coping Mechanisms of the Diabetic Patient and Implications on Hospitalization Duration

Published: December 2023

Introduction. Mental health is a state of emotional, psychological and social well-being, where the individual manages to successfully manage daily life, valuing himself and others, while being socially integrated, happy and fulfilled.
Adaptability to the environment is the ability of the person or organism to adjust, to transform, according to the changes and demands of the environment. These skills require learning from experiences, finding creative solutions and developing the ability to cope with stressors. Integration into the environment requires constant personal development. Unfortunately, we live in times when the environment is changing at a speed that is difficult for the human body and psyche to manage and follow.
Material and method. In this study, part of a larger study, 80 diabetic patients aged between 19 and 70 years were included. The longitudinal research period was 2015-2022, following the number of days of hospitalization and the length of hospitalization for each hospitalization in “Sf. Ap. Andrei” Emergency Clinical Hospital Galati. The patients, in compliance with data protection and legislation in force, were administered a psychological questionnaire tracking their adaptability to the environment and their rational and irrational beliefs in relation to life. The data were centralized and analysed in the SPSS statistical software, looking for correlations between psychological aspects and hospitalization duration/frequency, assuming that patients with significant test results are patients suffering from diagnosed or not yet diagnosed psychosomatic disorders.
Conclusions. The results of the questionnaire and the anamnesis revealed that most of the patients had irrational beliefs and attitudes towards themselves, others and life, completely dysfunctional. Extrapolating that these patients also have psychosomatic disorders, we can state that the statistical results obtained predict that a person with psychosomatic disorders will have more frequent presentations to the doctor, while each hospitalization will be longer than that of patients with the same pathology, without associated psychosomatic disorders.
In this sense, both the correlations obtained and the linear regression with predictive value, force us to think in the long term and bring to light the need to implement a diagnostic tool at the disposal of the diabetologist, internist and emergency physician, for further collaboration with the psychiatric physician, all for the ultimate good of the patient.

The article is pertinent as the approach to education in school is presently undergoing a troublesome period. Secondary education goals are evolving, with more and more new curricula and teaching approaches being developed, and activity-based education provisions being established and implemented. The quality of one’s knowledge is determined by how one can use one’s abilities and skills. Observed tendencies are closely connected with the creation and implementation of modern pedagogical technologies in the educational process. Non-traditional ways and forms of organizing education, including integrative ones, are beginning to be used in education. They encourage students to apprehend the world more promptly and shape an activity-based approach to learning. The objectives of integrated teaching are to generate the perfect environment for the expansion of students’ thought processes throughout the teaching of different topics; to confront any disparities in the learning process; and to boost and develop students’ eagerness for the referred to subjects. The article defines the purpose of integrated learning; outlines the conditions for effective integrated learning; investigates the principles on which integrated learning, its forms and models are based: the advantages and problem points of integrated learning are identified; the concept of cooperation in integrated learning is given; the role of neurodidactics in integrated learning is defined.

Background: Mucuna (Mucuna pruriens L.) is an annual herbaceous climber, grown as a medicinal, green manure, cover and smothering crop. The mucuna seeds contains L-DOPA (L-3, 4 dihydroxy phenylalanine), a non-protein amino acid, extensively used for Parkinson and hypertensive drug. Injudicious application of nitrogenous fertilizers leads to deterioration of soil quality which results into loss of crop yield and quality. The application of microbial inoculant containing efficient native rhizobia enhances the nodular properties, N2-fixation and soil quality. Therefore, Rhizobium strain associated with mucuna was isolated, biochemically characterized and identified. The 16SrRNA sequencing revealed that Sinnorhizobium mililoti, a gram negative symbiotic nitrogen fixing bacteria is present in root nodules of mucuna. Methods: Root nodules were extracted from mucuna grown at ICAR- Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Doddaballapura Taluk, Bengaluru Rural District, Karnataka, then cultured, screened and characterized in the laboratory. The 16SrRNA sequencing and phylogenetic analysis was done to identify the native rhizobial strain. Result: Identification of native root nodulating bacteria through 16SrRNA sequencing concluded that Sinnorhizobium mililoti strain associated with the root nodules of Mucuna (Mucuna pruriens L.).
THE WESTERN PRAGMATISM PHILOSOPHY BASED ON KALÂM JADÎD’S PERSPECTIVE
Authors: Muslih Muhammad Kholid , Zarkasyi Amal Fathullah , Hidayat Muhammad Sofian
Published: December 2023

This article examines the philosophy of Western pragmatism since pragmatism is considered to be a real threat to human civilisation. It happens because pragmatism, as a philosophy, makes empirical facts and usefulness as the basis of everything. Thus, it fosters a sceptical attitude towards everything, doing things based on certain benefits, and ignoring norms as well as religious values. This study is a literature study since it examines various sources (books and scientific articles) analysed with a socio-historical approach with Kalâm jadîd science as the basis. The study focuses on the critical analysis on the concepts of knowledge, truth, morals and religion of the philosophy of pragmatism. This study shows that the concept of the philosophy of pragmatism is extremely contrary to Islamic values and teachings. Firstly, pragmatism has its own concept of truth, where empiricism and coherence of ideas and reality determine the value of a truth. Secondly, knowledge will be considered relevant as a scientific discipline if it is able to have a direct impact on and value or benefits for human life. Thirdly, religion and morals are realised as actions done according to human will.
ILLUMINATING Al-ḤAQQ: Unveiling Truth and Reality in Ibn Barrajân's Sufi Paradigm and Systems Thinking
Authors: Fahrudi Ah. Haris , Riyadi Abdul Kadir , Mursyid Achmad Yafik , Muttaqin Sabilil
Published: December 2023

The discussion on al-ḥaqq constitutes a fundamental philosophical dialogue within Sufi tradition. However, theoretical elaboration on this concept remains relatively scarce among Sufi scholars. Ibn Barrajân, a prominent figure in Andalusian Sufism, notably contributes to the development of al-ḥaqq concept in his extensive body of work. This article delves into Ibn Barrajân's intricate understanding of al-ḥaqq through his tawḥîd paradigm. Employing a systems approach, it dissects the nuanced features within Ibn Barrajân's contemplation of al-ḥaqq, which reveals that his paradigm is deeply rooted in a metaphysical interpretation of sufi tawḥîd. This paradigm, encapsulating the unity of reality (ontology), knowledge (epistemology), and purpose (axiology), profoundly shapes Ibn Barrajân's systems thinking and provides a holistic, multidimensional, and goal-oriented perspective on reality. Conceptualized as the encompassing reality of divinity, al-ḥaqq emerges as a multidimensional entity serving as the ultimate goal of all scientific inquiry. Epistemologically, the recognition of al- ḥaqq unfolds through an exploration of God's Names manifestations in cosmic symbols. Methodically, the knowledge of al- ḥaqq is attained through the practices of tafakkur, tadhakkur, tadabbur, and i'tibâr. Axiologically, acquiring this knowledge aims to bring it to life by fulfilling its rights in accordance with the blessed sunnah, also known as hikmah.
THE VAGUENESS OF KH. MUHAMMAD LUTHFI GHOZALI’S THOUGHTS ON LADUNI SCIENCE
Authors: Fatoni Muhamad , Suminto Suminto , Baba Kurnia Muhammad , Zahrok Kharismatus , Sari Isma Yunia
Published: December 2023

This article discusses KH. Muhammad Luthfi Ghozali’s thoughts on laduni science, that it can be gained by anyone who has valid reason. Generally, Muslim intellectuals such as al-Ghazâlî and Suhrawardî believe that laduni is given specially for saints. This is qualitative-library research since the primary data are from “Mencari Jati Diri Volume 2” book. Authors employed content and critical analysis. The study shows that Luthfi Ghozali’s laduni science epistemology is vague. First, his concept that laduni is laddunîyah rabbânîyah science which is primarily about legacy. Those who want the knowledge must establish a spiritual relationship in the form of tawas{s{ul. On the other hand, legacy should be given effortlessly. The second vagueness is on the knowledge journey theory. He stated, both ways (of gaining knowledge) begin from senses; while in his definition, laduni directly gets into one’s soul. The last is about the causes of acquisition. The second cause explained that piety is a result of riyâdhâh, mujâhadah, and dzikr-those three should be the real causes of laduni. The third cause, nubuwah and walâyah, is defined inconsistently. On one hand, it is meant for the prophets and saints. On the other hand, he defines it as closeness.

Authors: Ismail Khadiga Ahmed
Published: December 2023

Regeneration of lost human tissue is well known, the research on regenerative medicine has gained scientific advancements. The growing understanding of biological concepts in the regeneration of ocular tissues as well as experiments on stem cells result in shift in the treatment of corneal diseases. Stem cells have been successfully isolated from variety of human tissues including mesenchymal tissues. Initial evidence from several studies has documented the likely breakthrough that stem cells offer for various life-threatening diseases that have so far defeated modern medical care. So, this research aimed to study the role of stem cells in treatment of Acanthamoebic corneal ulcer. Test experiment included Acanthamoeba-infected female albino rats started local treatment by chlorhexidine 0.02% after 2 weeks post infection and mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) injected. Female rats were subdivided into 4 groups. Group (Gp) I: 15 rats infected and injected with MSCs intravenously at 2 weeks post-infection. Gp II: 15 rats infected and intravenously injected with MSCs at 3 weeks post-infection. Gp III: 15 rats infected and injected locally subconjunctival at 2 weeks post-infection. Gp IV: 15 rats infected and locally subconjunctival injected at 3 weeks post-infection with MSCs. Control groups were composed of age- and weight-matched control female rats, subdivided into: Gp V, Gp VI, Gp VII, and Gp VIII. Gp V was composed of 10 Acanthamoeba-infected and non-injected (non- treated negative control) rats. Each 10 of them was sacrificed on dates corresponding to sacrifice dates of each test groups (at one-week post treatment). Gp VI is composed of 10 rats infected and intravenously injected by PBS (vehicle). Each were sacrificed on dates corresponding to sacrifice dates of Gp I and II (at one-week post treatment). Gp VII: 10 rats infected and locally subconjunctival injected by PBS (vehicle). Each 10 was sacrificed on dates corresponding to sacrifice dates of Gp III and IV (at one-week post treatment). Gp VIII: 10 Acanthamoeba-infected and locally treated by chlorhexidine 0.02% positive control rats which are infected and not injected with MSCs. Each 10 of them was sacrificed on dates like sacrifice dates of each test group (at one-week post treatment). Rates were sacrificed on the planned dates, then corneal specimens and blood samples were collected. There were significant decrease in the level of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in group I, III and highly significant decrease in the level of nitric oxide (NO) in group I, II, III in comparison to positive control group VIII .There were 20% engraftments with MSC in group I. Treatment of Acanthamoeba corneal ulcer with chlorhexidine 0.02% and MSCs accelerated regeneration of the corneal epithelium and restored the antioxidant protective mechanism.

Authors: Yeh Yin-Ting
Published: December 2023

Blood is the most complex fluid in the body. Blood contains a large number and variety of cells and molecules. When viruses infect a host, biomarkers of the viral infections are rare. Thus, it is hard to detect in blood. Recently, Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS) has been shown to be promising in infectious disease detection. SERS provides a sensitive, rapid, and non-invasive approach to virus detection. Several studies have demonstrated the use of SERS in detecting various types of infectious diseases. In this report, we briefly review recent advances in the detection of infectious diseases by using SERS.
REASON AS A SOURCE OF ISLAMIC LAW: Epistemological Approach
Authors: A'yun Sufyan Qurrotul , Mohammad Sugi Hartono
Published: December 2023

ABSTRACT The existence of reason in humans is a privilege given by Allah SWT. Humans with their intellect can think, do reasoning, and appreciate all of Allah's creations. Qur’an as a source of basic material in Islamic law provides a large portion of the use of human reason. The method used in this research was library research. The background to the recognition of the role of reason is the fact that the development of social life is followed by various life problems whose answers cannot be found in translation in the Qur’an or Hadith. The results of this study indicate that, first, reason is the power of thought which when used can lead a person to understand the problem he is thinking about. Second, reason functions as a tool for thinking, contemplating, experiencing, and developing intelligent concepts and ideas, very closely related to education. Therefore, reason in its implication towards the goals of Islamic education greatly determines the success or failure of a person in achieving the goals of Islamic education.   ABSTRAK Keberadaan akal pada manusia merupakan keistimewaan yang diberikan Allah swt. Manusia dengan akal yang dimilikinya dapat berpikir, melakukan penalaran, dan penghayatan terhadap segala ciptaan Allah swt. Al-Qur’an sebagai sumber materi pokok dalam hukum Islam memberikan porsi yang besar terhadap penggunaan akal pikiran manusia. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah studi kepustakaan.  Latar belakang dari diakuinya peranan akal ini merupakan kenyataan berkembangnya kehidupan masyarakat yang diikuti oleh berbagai permasalahan hidup yang tidak ditemui jawabannya secara harfiah dalam Al-Qur’an maupun Al-Hadits. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa, pertama, akal adalah daya pikir yang bila digunakan dapat mengantarkan seseorang untuk memahami dan memahami masalah yang sedang dipikirkannya. Kedua, akal berfungsi sebagai alat berpikir, merenung dan mengalami serta mengembangkan konsep dan gagasan yang cemerlang, sangat erat hubungannya dengan pendidikan. Maka akal dalam implikasinya terhadap tujuan pendidikan Islam sangat menentukan berhasil atau tidaknya seseorang dalam mencapai tujuan pendidikan Islam.

Everyone has the right to have access to sufficient, safe and physically accessible water for personal and domestic use. River is one of the water resources, which is highly necessary for the people who live in close contact with it. In the past few years there have been several law cases of water pollution in some Indonesian rivers caused by textile factories, who had been releasing untreated wastewater into the river. The wastewater had become harmful to humans and river life mostly due to toxic synthetic dyes chemicals used in textile production. This research aims to provide the reasons to apply ecolabel scheme on the textile/textile products in regards to sustainable development especially the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) number 12: Sustainable Consumption and Production, which requires that people urgently reduce ecological footprint by changing the way they produce and consume goods and resources.

Abstract:  

Economic growth and progress in the modern era has a significant impact on the lives of the people of a country. This progress is not only related to regulations, but also affects various other aspects of life. To achieve progress, capital is needed, both from within the country and abroad. These two types of capital can be a solution to increasing the level of national development. Therefore, a different perspective is needed to understand how regulations, especially in investment, influence national economic growth and development. With the enactment of Law no. 25 of 2007 concerning Capital Investment, legal aspects are currently a pathway for capital providers to contribute to the growth and development of the national economy. The research method in this paper uses normative legal research methods and in this research uses a conceptual legal approach and a statutory approach. The legal materials used in this work use primary, secondary and non-legal legal materials. The investment legal perspective in neoclassical economic theory emphasizes the importance of regulations that support investment, protect investor rights, and create an environment that supports economic growth. Investment law is one of the key factors in shaping economic conditions that support national economic growth and development.

O objetivo deste trabalho é analisar a elegia Tr. 5.3 de Ovídio, em que escreve ao colégio de poetas em ocasião das Liberalia, dirigindo-se, em ocasiões, ao deus Baco de forma direta, solicitando sua ajuda para acabar com sua relegatio na distante Tomos. Esta invocação de Baco e não do deus Augusto, retor do exílio ovidiano, tem levado os críticos a pensar que haveria aqui mais um velado ataque ao princeps. Buscaremos demonstrar, contudo, que a proximidade com Baco é mais uma tentativa de defesa de sua poesia e de afirmação de seu labor como poeta do que uma afronta direta ao princeps, além de contribuir com na construção do seu perfil como vates. Para tanto, em um primeiro momento, nos centraremos em examinar a forma e conteúdo do poema. Após isso, discutiremos diferentes posturas que leem nesta elegia uma afronta a Augusto. Por último, oferecemos nossa argumentação contra este tipo de posturas destacando que a associação de Ovídio a Baco como protetor dos poetas é congruente com a menção da Bacchica serta (Tr. 1.7.2), que coroa o poeta no começo dos Tristia.

Neste artigo são analisados os padrões de seleção dos presidentes da seccional maranhense da Ordem dos Advogados do Brasil (OAB/MA), no período compreendido entre 1932 e 2022. A investigação centrou-se nas dinâmicas das eleições em que foram escolhidos os dirigentes da entidade. Na operacionalização do estudo, buscou-se apreender: 1) os recursos herdados e acumulados pelos principais protagonistas que exerceram os postos de direção da OAB/MA; 2) as cadeias de líderes-seguidores que rivalizaram no âmbito da instituição, evidenciando os fluxos de entradas, saídas, aproximações e distanciamentos; 3) as cliques de dirigentes formadas nesses embates e as clivagens construídas por meios de realinhamentos constantes nas alianças reconstituídas; 4) as bases sociais de interconexões, elos e vínculos mais ou menos efêmeros. O propósito é demonstrar como, ao longo de 90 anos, três segmentos da elite dos “bacharéis” em direito no Maranhão alternaram-se no comando da OAB/MA, primeiramente, enquanto membros da “elite política” (1932/1973), depois, participantes de uma “elite jurídica” (1973/2003), e, por fim, integrantes da “elite da advocacia privada” (2004/2022), sempre acionando meios e coalizões interpessoais que atravessam diversos domínios do espaço do poder no Estado.
A individualização da desigualdade social

No início do século XXI, a inclusão social é uma das características mais presentes nas políticas de ingresso na educação superior. Estas políticas propiciaram a diversificação social do público universitário, mas as trajetórias dos estudantes beneficiados são marcadas por encontros com a desigualdade social. Este artigo se insere nesta temática ao problematizar as associações que os estudantes estabelecem entre as dificuldades oriundas da desigualdade social e os talentos e dons individuais, caracterizando tal associação como fruto de uma dominação simbólica. Os relatos coletados por meio de entrevistas mostram que os considerados “novos estudantes” precisaram ser superselecionados por meio da escola para adquirir habitus e capital cultural que possibilitassem seu ingresso na universidade. O encontro com a desigualdade social pode ocorrer, especialmente, pela via econômica e acadêmica, sendo que esta última se configura como uma violência simbólica mais potente porque clama à dimensão do natural. Os dados trazidos neste artigo mostraram que os próprios estudantes questionam e classificam as suas performances associando-as a questões de capacidade e de dom, sem a necessidade de qualquer intervenção ou avaliação institucional. De forma não-consciente, os estudantes empregam categorias de percepção que os fazem entrar no jogo universitário, mesmo em uma situação desfavorável. Ou seja, os estudantes atuam como cúmplices nessa relação de dominação, porque as suas disposições já foram dominadas ao reconhecerem a legitimidade da universidade, acreditarem no discurso individualizante do mérito e desconhecerem as relações de força que se mantêm para a reprodução de uma sociedade desigual por meio do sucesso escolar.
