Plant Use at the Falls of the Ohio
Authors: Rossen Jack , Turner Jocelyn C.
Published: January 2022

The authors highlight trends in Native American plant use in the Falls region. Archaic and Woodland patterns parallel those in other regions with an initial heavy reliance on nuts and wild plants giving way to a greater reliance on native cultigens by the Woodland period. By 1000 CE, Mississippian groups living at and downstream from the Falls region and Fort Ancient groups living upstream from the Falls region have different plant subsistence strategies. Mississippian groups appear to have maintained a reliance on nuts and native cultigens as they increased their consumption of maize. In comparison, as Fort Ancient groups increased their consumption of maize, they decreased their reliance on nuts and native cultigens. Unlike Mississippian groups, Fort Ancient peoples incorporated beans as part of the diet by at least 1200 CE. Situated on the frontier, the authors note that after 1300 CE the Mississippian/Fort Ancient plant-use boundary appears to have been more permeable.
Mississippian/Fort Ancient Interaction and Identity in the Falls Region
Authors: French Michael W. , Pollack David
Published: January 2022

The authors examine the late Mississippian occupation of the Falls region, which followed the collapse of the Prather polity and last lasted until 500 BP (A.D. 1450). They note strong similarities between Falls region and Angel ceramic vessel form and decoration, which they suggest points to continued interaction with downriver polities following the demise of the Prather polity and reflects a reaffirmation of their Mississippian social identity. They argue that ceramic production is a learned behavior and is tied to a person’s/groups’ social identity. The large number of Fort Ancient ceramics recovered from some late Mississippian sites reflects the presence of Fort Ancient households within these settlements. This supports the notion of a more permeable boundary at this time, as reflected in the plant food consumption.

Using Games to Build Connections in Africa and Beyond
Authors: Arriaga Eduard , Villar Andrés
Published: January 2022

Adebayo Adegbembo, a Nigerian software developer, creates digital tools to promote African culture. Adegbembo's work raises issues about the importance of digital technologies for creating connections across the African diaspora. His encounter with other Afrodescendants--for example, in Brazil--has made him aware of differences and commonalities across the diaspora. Adegbembo's thoughts resonate with those about transnational Blackness and the digitization of knowledge that have emerge in the other essays and interviews included in this volume.
Introduction
Authors: Crosby Jill Flanders , Torres JT
Published: January 2022

The introduction lays out the theoretical foundations of the text, defining terms such as performance theory, Afro-Cuban ritual traditions, and Arará. It examines how ceremonies largely reveal a complex web of memory and identity, in specific, cultural memory as manifested through rituals, narratives situated in oral history, and everyday sociality. It dissects how performance, in its many contexts, is how stories are kept alive, how authorship is negotiated, how ancestors are remembered, and how religious practice bends and shifts. Importantly, it presents the format of the book to follow.
The Rememberer
Authors: Torres JT
Published: January 2022

The true fiction of chapter 5 transforms an interview that occurred between Melba Núñez Isalbe, Roberto Pedroso García, Susan Matthews, Jill Flanders Crosby, Hilda Victoria Zulueta, and Ramona Casanova Elizalde on December 27, 2007; and a follow-up informal conversation between Pedroso García, Núñez Isalbe, Flanders Crosby, and Torres on December 15, 2014. The true fiction explores Ramona’s life history as she goes from a self-described “trouble maker” to an important elder who retained important traditions. Central to Ramona’s experience is the fundamento known as Afrequete, sometimes referred to as Frequete in Perico,Cuba, both Arará names for the Lucumí Yemayá. The heart of the true fiction is the realization of the responsibility required to act as a dedicated elder.
Becoming History
Authors: Crosby Jill Flanders , Torres JT
Published: January 2022

In order to approach the vastly complex figure of Justo Zulueta, Flanders Crosby and Torres combine their writing methods, choreographed narrative and true fiction, to explore the curious relationship Flanders Crosby has had with this towering figure. The “I” in this chapter refers to Flanders Crosby, who uses her personal experience to unravel the mythological, historical, and intimate threads of Justo’s life. Here was a man with powerful deities, a man himself almost deified, and yet he seemed to be painfully aware of his own mortality. Flanders Crosby wonders how the two qualities—deification and mortality—co-create one another. Justo and his deities protected Perico for many years, and yet he feared the banal: being caught in the nude, not looking fashionable, and sharing his age.
French Gods and the Awán
Authors: Crosby Jill Flanders
Published: January 2022

Chapter 9 narrates the life of Armando Zulueta, whose complex relationship with San Lázaro has been contested across regional, economic, and political spaces. It examines the arguments that revolve around Armando’s San Lázaro as to whether it is Lucumí or Arará with a focus on the social and historical processes that fomented these arguments. It also details two important ritual traditions connected with the life of Armando: the annual awán for San Lázaro and the annual ceremony for deities belonging to Teresa Zulueta (Armando’s mother). The chapter concludes with a discussion of shared attributes from Perico, Cuba, and Agramonte, Cuba, with ritual traditions of the West African fieldsites of Dzodze, Ghana, and Adjodogou, Togo.
Adjodogou
Authors: Crosby Jill Flanders
Published: January 2022

The threads of shared attributes between Anlo-Ewe and Arará ritual traditions encountered during fieldwork continue to be illuminated in Chapter 11. Located in the fieldsite of Adjodogou, Togo, this chapter narrates the founding of the community including the arrival of the deity Sakpata, and the secretive vodu practices of Yewe, before detailing fieldwork events that contributed to knowledge production. Deeper windows into West African Ewe religious form are revealed and lead the reader back to the dialogues between the Cuban and West African fieldsites. The chapter ends with a discussion of the bridge-building between Cuba and West Africa, and the multiple layers of knowledge production.

Modelos de sensoriamento virtuais têm sido utilizados para gerar dados sintéticos e fornecer informações complementares. Essa abordagem é importante para analisar aspectos para os quais não existem sensores físicos. Alguns dos problemas na literatura em análise de poluição atmosférica estão ligados à dificuldade financeira para a compra de sensores, à perda de informação e ao armazenamento de dados inválidos. Portanto, esse artigo analisa diversos fatores que contribuem para a poluição atmosférica e apresenta a comparação de diferentes modelos para criação de um sensor virtual para o monóxido de carbono. Por fim, o modelo de Boosted Trees produziu os melhores resultados, com média de 5.078 de RMSE, na geração dos dados sintéticos de cada cidade analisada.
Como Melhorar a Representação de Traces: Um Estudo de Caso Usando Dados do Transporte Público
Authors: Vieira Jr Hernani de B. , Gaspar Stefany , Cunha Felipe D.
Published: January 2022

Simulação é uma abordagem mais comumente adotada para avaliar protocolos e algoritmos para redes veiculares. Geralmente, as ferramentas de simulação utilizam traces de mobilidade para recriar a topologia de rede e avaliar o desempenho das soluções. No entanto, a qualidade dos traces em termos de granularidade espacial e temporal é um fator importante, que pode afetar diretamente na confiabilidade dos resultados. Neste trabalho, é apresentado a caracterização de dados em um trace que representa a mobilidade real de ônibus na cidade do Rio de Janeiro. Por apresentar lacunas e falhas de leitura, os dados passaram por um processo de preenchimento das lacunas, levando a traces mais refinados, e que geram resultados de simulação mais confiáveis. Além disso, todos as métricas computadas foram comparadas entre os dados originais e calibrados. Resultados revelam que as lacunas realmente induzem topologias de rede diferentes da realidade, diminuindo a qualidade dos resultados da avaliação.
Como os objetos da Internet das Coisas se comportam? Uma análise através de métricas quantitativas
Authors: J. Júnior Jamisson , Figueiredo Thiago S. , Torres Luiz C. B. , Santos Bruno P.
Published: January 2022

Objetos do nosso cotidiano estão cada vez mais conectados formando o que se chama de Internet das Coisas (IoT). Neste ambiente cibernético conectado, a mobilidade é fator presente e soluções para IoT devem estar cientes disso. Também, os dispositivos eventualmente poderão fazer laços sociais surgindo então a Internet das Coisas Sociais (SIoT). No entanto, dados empíricos e/ou sintéticos que permitam o estudo do padrão de mobilidade das entidades da IoT bem como suas interações são escassos. Sendo assim, este artigo visa adaptar um modelo de mobilidade existente para mimetizar a mobilidade de dispositivos da IoT e então aplicar métricas para quantificar as interações e os impactos no desempenho de solução de comunicação tolerantes a atraso. Os resultados aqui obtidos salientam a importância de objetos móveis no contexto do IoT. Todos os dados utilizados neste artigo estão disponíveis online.

Published: January 2022

A corrente de blocos e os contratos inteligentes garantem segurança e automatização em cenários sem confiança, gerando soluções inovadoras em diversos setores produtivos. O projeto de código aberto Hyperledger impulsiona o emprego dessas tecnologias no meio corporativo provendo diferentes plataformas para o desenvolvimento de aplicações distribuídas. Este artigo analisa e compara duas plataformas amplamente utilizadas para o desenvolvimento de aplicações baseadas em correntes de blocos permissionadas: o Hyperledger Sawtooth e o Hyperledger Fabric. Dois protótipos desenvolvidos implementam contratos inteligentes para uma mesma aplicação de modo a avaliar o desempenho de cada ferramenta. Os resultados obtidos revelam que: i) o processamento paralelo de transações do Sawtooth apresenta um desempenho até 30% superior apenas se o número de transações conﬂitantes permanecer baixo; ii) o desempenho do modelo XO do Fabric é 4 vezes maior que o OX do Sawtooth, mas apresenta uma piora considerável com transações conﬂitantes; iii) o consenso do Sawtooth apresenta maior segurança e menor desempenho que o do Fabric; iv) as aplicações no Sawtooth consomem menos armazenamento em disco.

Neste trabalho, apresenta-se Calisto, um novo sistema que implementa uma política eficiente de distribuição de pacotes entre núcleos que mantém afinidade de ﬂuxos, reduzindo a latência em até 10%.
Argumentos para a Inviabilidade Prática de uma Estratégia de Escalonamento para Redes Sem Fio sob o Modelo SINR
Authors: Camargo Fábio Engel de , Duarte Jr. Elias P.
Published: January 2022

Por considerar os efeitos da interferência cumulativa na recepção do sinal pelos diversos dispositivos conectados a uma rede sem fio, o modelo SINR (Signal-to-Interference-plus-Noise Ratio) tem ganhado destaque. O modelo permite o reuso espacial, que possibilita a comunicação concorrente de múltiplos dispositivos na mesma área de alcance. A estratégia de escalonamento de Halldórsson e outros [Halldórsson et al. 2017] permite definir quais dispositivos podem comunicar em quais intervalos de tempo. A proposta assume uma rede sem fio de 1-hop densa, isto é: todos os dispositivos estão dentro das respectivas áreas de alcance. A realização de experimentos de simulação indicou que há empecilhos que dificultam a utilização da estratégia na prática. Apresentamos duas hipóteses que acreditamos reﬂetem os motivos que dificultam sua utilização em redes reais.

Authors: Santos Maria Clara Aderne dos , Gorender Sérgio
Published: January 2022

Serviços de comunicação em grupo são importantes blocos de construção para sistemas distribuídos tolerantes a falhas. Neste serviço, o membership faz a gestão da composição do grupo de comunicação considerando grupos dinâmicos com processos entrando e saindo. Têm sido apresentados algoritmos para solucionar o membership em sistemas distribuídos síncronos e parcialmente síncronos, tolerando falhas, tendo sido provada a impossibilidade do membership em sistemas assíncronos. Modelos de sistemas distribuídos híbridos, com componentes síncronos e assíncronos, têm sido estudados, sendo relevantes por representar sistemas atuais, tais como sistemas baseados em IoT, integrando, por exemplo, plantas industriais através da internet. Neste artigo apresentamos um algoritmo que resolve o problema de membership no modelo de sistemas distribuídos SPA (Síncrono Particionado). O algoritmo proposto permite a existência de diversos grupos com interseção entre eles. Além do algoritmo, apresentamos provas formais de suas propriedades e resultados de implementação em ambiente simulado.

Published: January 2022

A Virtualização de Funções de Rede (NFV) permite a implementação em software de serviços diversos que executam no núcleo da rede. Serviços complexos podem ser formados a partir da composição de múltiplas VNFs (Virtual Network Functions) em SFCs (Service Function Chains). É imprescindível garantir a confiabilidade destes serviços, uma vez que eles são responsáveis por tarefas críticas na rede. Este trabalho propõe o NHAM (NFV High Availability Module): uma arquitetura de alta disponibilidade para serviços virtualizados de rede. O NHAM é integrado como um módulo da arquitetura NFV-MANO e garante o funcionamento correto e contínuo de SFCs stateful. O NHAM realiza o gerenciamento de falhas e permite a escolha de diferentes mecanismos de recuperação, aplicados de acordo com as necessidades dos serviços. A estratégia de alta disponibilidade combina o gerenciamento de buffers das SFCs em conjunto com técnicas de Checkpoint/Restore. Um protótipo foi implementado e resultados experimentais são apresentados.
Exception or Example? Ham Hop’s Challenge to White Australia
Authors: Bagnall Kate
Published: January 2022

This chapter revisits a well-known immigration case from the early White Australia period. In 1913, Ham Hop, the wife of fruit merchant Poon Gooey, was made to leave Australia with the couple’s two young Australian-born daughters. She had come to Australia on a temporary permit in 1910, but Poon Gooey had then mounted a determined campaign to gain permission for her to remain more permanently. The campaign, while ultimately unsuccessful, found widespread community support and was an ongoing embarrassment to the federal Labor government. This chapter focuses on the experiences of Ham Hop – first as a gum saam po, then as a migrant wife – to explore the possibilities for uncovering the lives of Chinese wives who were largely excluded from permanent migration to Australia in the early decades of the twentieth century.
Missing Ruby
Authors: Finnane Antonia
Published: January 2022

In July 1925, the body of a young Chinese-Australian woman was dragged out of the harbour in Fremantle, Western Australia. An inquest ensued, leading to the trial of her husband for murder. From press reports and legal documents concerning the case emerge details of family life in the small Australian Chinese community of between-the-wars Perth. Drawing on Sigurdur Gylfi Magnusson’s concept of the singularization of history, the chapter considers the implications of research on one person, or one family, for a subfield such as ‘Chinese-Australian history’, or ‘the history of Chinese women in Australia’.  Ruby’s was a singular story. How was it Chinese? How was it Australian? Where is the historiographical space for it to be recounted?
I Desired to Read the Word of God
Authors: Runyon Randolph Paul
Published: January 2022

In 1838 Elizabeth Dobyns Warder sent Elisha Green to Maysville to work for her son, John Porter Dobyns. a grain merchant. During his work Green learned arithmetic, weights, and measures. In his spare hours, he learned to read by studying the Bible. His wife, and now his growing family, lived thirteen miles away, and he visited them on weekends, a 26-mile round trip mostly covered on foot. Green began to hold prayer meetings in Maysville's black community. The group grew into a church, which leased a building next to the white Baptist church. Green began serving as sexton to the white church in 1839. In 1845, the white Baptists, impressed with his preaching, gave him a formal license to do so. This chapter recounts the social and economic history of Maysville, narrates the increasing tensions in the churches over slavery.
More Than One Path to Freedom
Authors: Runyon Randolph Paul
Published: January 2022

Green generated income for himself while still a slave by recycling discarded items, even bacon grease from Dobyns's warehouse floor, which he sold to a soap manufacturer and with the proceeds bought a set of silver spoons. Dobyns's 8-year-old daughter taught Elisha, who already knew how to read, how to write. Both Dobyns and Maysville were growing in wealth, Dobyns investing in a projected railroad eastward from Maysville. Slaveholders near Maysville were increasingly alarmed by news of escaping slaves; Ripley, Ohio, eight miles west, was had some dedicated underground railroad operators, including John Rankin and John Parker. Free blacks were increasingly viewed with suspicion. After passage of the Fugitive Slave Law in 1850, Green had difficulty traveling to Ohio on church business. Slave catchers were even venturing into Ohio to kidnap non-enslaved blacks.
An Accusation Dodged
Authors: Runyon Randolph Paul
Published: January 2022

In the spring of 1881, a professor at Kentucky Wesleyan accused Gould before the Kentucky Conference of the Southern Methodist Church of being drunk in public. Gould successfully fought it, then fired the three teachers who had supported the accusation. Ten faculty members published a statement criticizing Gould and supporting the fired teachers. Gould was particularly angry at one of the signers, Professor A. G. Murphy. Murphy secured a position at a more prestigious school and left. The Paris Kentuckian, a newspaper which had supported Gould against the charge of drunkenness and would continue to support him in future disputes, did however note Murphy's departure with regret. A Cincinnati paper claimed that the majority of teachers were against Gould and predicted more resignations would follow.
The Past as Prologue

Plans Hit Reality
Authors: Kolenda Christopher D.
Published: January 2022

This chapter discusses Afghanistan’s recent complex history, which is characterized by fragile state structures and continuous internal and external power struggles. It shows that in presuming decisive victory, the Bush administration underestimated the post-Taliban regime challenges as internal and external rivalries unfolded in predictable ways.
America’s Bureaucratic Way of War
Authors: Kolenda Christopher D.
Published: January 2022

This chapter argues that the structure of the U.S. national security apparatus favors compartmentalization over cooperation and coordination, leading to a focus on the micro-level and a lack of accountability. The separation of rebuilding tasks between different U.S. agencies, but also between different international actors, was quickly and aptly exploited by Afghan elites to promote personal and political power. Ineffective decisions stemming from compartmentalization created a sense of alienation and unwanted military occupation among the Afghan population. While Karzai struggled to get U.S. support, and disputes between local leaders led to civilian harm, the Taliban started to reorganize.
Surging into the Good War
Authors: Kolenda Christopher D.
Published: January 2022

This chapter details the thinking that eventually led to the surge. Obama’s patience waned while bureaucratic frictions and problems with the Karzai government continued to impede progress. U.S. departments and agencies continued to write and execute individual plans within bureaucratic silos, and there was no effort to develop with Afghan partners a coordinated strategy for the war or to address the misaligned aims and incentives. Additionally, the simultaneous announcement of a surge and withdrawal timeline limited both U.S. options and leverage.
Assessments and Risks
Authors: Kolenda Christopher D.
Published: January 2022

This chapter sheds light on how the success of the surge was assessed. As the surge was underway, each agency and department continued to assess the conflict within its silo, using different metrics and drawing different conclusions. With no interagency authority below the President, and the latter being focused on other events, the strategy for Afghanistan did not seem to take into account the developments on the ground.
Conclusion to Part III
Authors: Kolenda Christopher D.
Published: January 2022

Why did the Bush and Obama administrations fixate on ineffective strategies? Confirmation bias reinforced the Bush administration’s belief that the war was over, that a small military effort could defeat the remnants of the Taliban, and that the international community could pick up the burden of reconstruction. Officials emphasized reports of progress within political, military, and economic silos and discounted evidence of mounting problems. The Obama administration’s belief that the Taliban would be unwilling to fight other Afghans and its frustration over the Karzai government’s endemic corruption, coupled with the Pentagon’s narrative about the ANSF’s readiness, reinforced the withdrawal timeline. Evidence mounted that the Afghan government was losing legitimacy, and the ANSF was corrupt and poorly led. The Taliban remained resilient with their sanctuaries in Pakistan and local support in Afghanistan intact. Still, the Obama administration would not reexamine the drawdown timeline until the disaster became apparent at the end of 2014. Poor strategic empathy compounded the effects of confirmation bias in both administrations. Civilian and military officials, focused in their silos, never addressed the cross-cutting issues that jeopardized US aims. Defense officials had to use subtle language about risks to avoid running afoul of the White House, but no one in Congress picked up the nuances....
Coming Off the Rails
Authors: Kolenda Christopher D.
Published: January 2022

Reconciliation efforts soon derailed, as this chapter shows. Conflicting interests between the U.S., the Taliban, and the Karzai government meant that the reconciliation process was lacking progress. While a Strategic Partnership Agreement seemed to realign the U.S. and Afghan governments, poor coordination of the opening of the Doha office and the transition ceremony from ISAF to Afghan forces set back the relationship. By continuing the drawdown, the U.S. was losing negotiating leverage.
Trapped by Partners in a Losing Strategy
Authors: Kolenda Christopher D.
Published: January 2022

This chapter argues that interest misalignment, information asymmetry and moral hazard negatively affected the cooperation of U.S. and Iraqi governments. While the U.S. wanted the Iraqis to put more emphasis on reconciliation, the latter continued to further alienate and abuse Sunnis. U.S. officials, however, found themselves unable to hold Iraqi officials accountable for actions that were intensifying the conflict.
To Surge or Not to Surge
Authors: Kolenda Christopher D.
Published: January 2022

This chapter introduces the concept of loss aversion to explain why it took the U.S. government so long to change their strategy. Loss aversion created the desire to preserve perceived gains and resist changes in strategy that could place them at risk – even as the cost of the current policy was high, and its prospects of success were low. Only when the Bush administration accepted that the current plan would guarantee a loss and a new approach could result in a win at acceptable cost was it able to revise its strategy.
The Surge Misunderstood
Authors: Kolenda Christopher D.
Published: January 2022

Why was the U.S. unsuccessful in turning successes achieved during the surge into a durable political outcome? This chapter offers three related arguments: the desire to withdraw reduced U.S. bargaining leverage; the reduction in violence led U.S. officials to overestimate Maliki’s inclusiveness; and U.S. leverage was further dissipated by civil-military tensions and strategic incoherence in theater. The surge had not been designed to alleviate either of those aspects.

The Stories of Silas House and the “Scent of Words”
Authors: Shurbutt Sylvia Bailey
Published: January 2022

This overview chapter covers the full range of House’s work, the influences on his writing, his activism, and the journey he took to become a writer, including his struggles as a young gay man growing up in Appalachia. All the major themes and motifs of his writing are explored in the chapter, as well as the artistry of his lyrical writing style and his richly portrayed working class characters. Central to Shurbutt’s study is the exploration of House’s reaction as an Appalachian being cast by outsiders as “other.” House portrays a region often stereotyped and struggling to tell its own story rather than outsiders portraying the region.
Silas House as Journalist and Activist, the Power of the Story
Authors: Worthington Marianne
Published: January 2022

Marianne Worthington’s essay focuses on the nonfiction writing and journalism of Silas House, dealing principally with his work on the environment and his writing for the country music industry. She specifically develops the thesis that the “storytelling style” of a writer like House lends itself well to creating the music industry press packets that House specialized in during the early years of his writing life and also to his writing about environmental issues. In the last decade, House has employed the same strategy to take on a range of other issues, including gender and social issues in the Appalachian region. The special talent and skills of a writer like House has made him a much sought after spokesman for these social issues, as House also continues to write and speak about music and the environment.
The Man and the Martyr

Published: January 2022

In “The Man and the Martyr: Abraham Lincoln in African American History and Memory”, James Oliver Horton and Lois E. Horton sketch the evolving evaluations of the sixteenth president by such diverse black persons as H. Ford Douglas, Frederick Douglass, John Rock, Harriet Tubman, Sojourner Truth, Elizabeth Keckley, Booker T. Washington, W.E.B. Du Bois, Martin Luther King Jr., and Lerone Bennett. Prior to issuing his final Emancipation Proclamation, men and women of color generally judged Lincoln “a conservative antislavery man,” who favored gradually emancipating the South's slaves, repatriating them abroad, and compensating their owners.

This is followed by an analysis of the effectiveness of that support and of the application of the lessons that had been learned at Tarawa. The Japanese defenses on Iwo Jima rendered the lessons learned at Tarawa practically irrelevant.
The Geography of Weaving
Authors: Dietrich Wielenga Karuna
Published: January 2022

This chapter uses company paintings, loom tax records, data on cloth trade and descriptive records to reconstruct the very diverse world of weaving in early nineteenth century India. It provides the necessary baseline to make sense of later changes. It documents the diversity and complexity of the structures of cloth production, some highly localised and others involving elaborate commercial networks as well as the diversity of social groups involved in weaving. It establishes that a very large proportion of cloth woven and worn was coarse and durable and that alongside full-time specialist weavers a fairly large number of part-time weavers, often from marginal and ‘untouchable’ castes were involved in weaving them.
Caste and Work

HABILIDADES E PADRÕES MOTORES EM ADOLESCENTES PORTADORES DE ASMA BRÔNQUICA
Authors: Benites Ana Cristina Fialho
Published: January 2022

Este trabalho trata da motricidade do adolescente asmático, tendo como objetivo identificar habilidades e pa­drões motores em adolescentes portadores de asma brônquica, considerando os estados clínicos leve e mode­rado e os diferentes níveis de participação em atividades físicas. A amostra foi composta por 31 sujeitos entre 11 e 14 anos, divididos em 5 grupos: três grupos com indivíduos com asma leve (participantes do Projeto para Crianças e Adolescentes Portadores de Asma Brônquica, participantes de um programa de atividades físicas regular na escola e que não participam de um programa de atividades físicas regular) e dois grupos com indivíduos com asma moderada (participantes do Projeto para Crianças e Adolescentes Portadores de Asma Brônquica e participantes de um programa de atividades físicas regular na escola). Para classificação do nível de asma utilizou-se um questionário e a espirometria que foram analisados por um pneumologista, posteriormente os sujeitos foram submetidos ao Teste de Habilidade Motora de Bruininks-Oseretsky (TBO-14) e a Matriz de Análise dos Padrões Fundamentais de Movimento (GALLAHUE,1989) para avaliar suas habilidades e padrões motores. Os resultados do TBO-14 foram analisados através dos escores estandardizados e para Matriz de Análise dos Padrões Fundamentais do Movimento utilizou-se a média dos resultados de cada padrão. Na comparação entre os grupos 1, 2 e 3 e grupos 4 e 5 utilizou-se o Teste Duncan’s. Verificou-se que, independente do grupo, asma leve ou moderada e diferentes participações em atividade física (projeto, escola), os resultados apresentaram-se uniformes: níveis baixos para as habilidades motoras e elementar para padrões motoras em cada faixa etária. Na comparação dos grupos não foi encontrada diferença significativa entre os grupos 1,2 e 3 nem entre os grupos 4 e 5.
DANÇA NA ESCOLA: DESENVOLVENDO A EMOÇÃO, A IMAGINAÇÃO E O PENSAMENTO
Authors: Pereira Sybelle Regina Carvalho
Published: January 2022

Este estudo teve como principal objetivo estabelecer princípios didático- pedagógicos para o processo de ensino-aprendizagem da dança em aulas de Educação Física fundamentadas na teoria de desenvolvimento humano de Vygotsky, caracterizando- se como uma pesquisa teórica de abordagem qualitativa. Após construção, análise e interpretação do quadro teórico referencial, fizeram-se as seguintes constatações: a dança promove o desenvolvimento do pensamento e das funções psicológicas superiores por ser capaz de aliar emoção-imaginação-pensamento; a zona de desenvolvimento proximal é uma proposição teórico-prática que fornece indicadores relativos a procedimentos didáticos; o professor pode favorecer a criação de zonas de desenvolvimento proximal em aulas de Educação Física, quando constrói um cenário didático onde o aluno seja envolvido em autênticos contextos sociais, apropriando-se de mediadores instaimentais, e está engajado em tarefas desafio. Este estudo pretende contribuir para o debate pedagógico em torno das proposições vygotskyanas no sentido de esclarecer quais as possíveis contribuições à Educação Física escolar.

A percepção sobre as tecnologias de auto-atendimento e trabalho em bibliotecas universitárias
Authors: Bittencourt Bárbara Rocha , Bianchi Isaías Scalabrin
Published: January 2022

Neste texto, apresenta-se a análise da percepção do corpo técnico de bibliotecas universitárias, sobre a aceitação da tecnologia de autoatendimento e o papel social do trabalho nas bibliotecas universitárias. Por meio de uma metodologia qualitativa, com aplicação de questionários, as percepções dos servidores são discutidas diante do arcabouço teórico. A análise dos dados revelou elevada percepção sobre as utilidades do autoatendimento pela autonomia, praticidade e privacidade promovidas pela tecnologia, os fatores motivacionais para o uso dessa tecnologia, e os seus principais usuários. Além disso, são discutidas as percepções sociais relacionadas ao trabalho, devido as implicações das tecnologias de autoatendimento no contexto do neoliberalismo e da substituição e alocação da força de trabalho.
Reform and Revolt
Authors: Wight David M.
Published: January 2022

This chapter explores how the Carter administration worked to reform one key aspect of the US-led petrodollar order: the issue of arms exports. However, others in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) endeavored to achieve a revolution that would overthrow the entire system of US cooperative empire. In Iran, such revolutionaries were on the cusp of a historic victory. There, the tensions and dislocations generated by the shah's petrodollar policies fueled broad-based dissent and, by early 1978, popular uprisings, the beginning of the Iranian Revolution. And while the Iranian revolutionaries came from across the ideological spectrum, the revolution quickly came under the guidance of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, who provided a regular flow of powerful speeches condemning US imperialism and promising a new petrodollar order for Iran once the shah was removed from power.
Recoveries and Crises
Authors: Wight David M.
Published: January 2022

This chapter illustrates how, from 1981 to 1983, Iran gradually gained the initiative in its war against Iraq, dealing Iraqi forces a string of costly defeats and alarming the Arab monarchies. To secure US empire in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), Ronald Reagan reaffirmed and expanded petrodollar ties with Riyadh. Saudi Arabia and the Arab monarchies in turn provided Iraq with billions of petrodollars, and the Reagan administration slowly improved relations with Baghdad in an effort to contain Iran. In its first three years, the Reagan administration succeeded in largely containing the Iran–Iraq War to the two belligerents and ensuring the flow of oil from the Gulf, facilitating a gradual moderation in the price of petroleum. This in turn assisted the Reagan administration's decision to apply economic sanctions against Libya owing to its resistance to US dominance in the MENA. Riyadh and Washington also coordinated increased petrodollar aid to anti-leftist forces around the world, most actively in Afghanistan. Finally, the first term of the Reagan administration witnessed an end of private petrodollar recycling to many less developed countries, creating a financial crisis that enabled Washington to impose neoliberal economic policies in those countries.
Deformed
Authors: Williams Katherine Schaap
Published: January 2022

This chapter examines the most recognizably disabled body in the early modern period, that of the “deformed” Richard Gloucester. It argues that we have not read Richard's body closely enough, moving swiftly into an “allegory of interpretation” rather than attending to the creaky joints and dazzling dexterity that define the actor's body in the act of deforming the role. The chapter sets Shakespeare's Richard III alongside historical sources and Elizabethan antecedents such as the unattributed The True Tragedie of Richard III to show how Shakespeare's Richard is anything but fixed. Turning to popular verse libels written on the death of Robert Cecil and Francis Bacon's essay “Of Deformity,” the chapter analyses how these literary forms crystallize deformity into an explicitly “crookbacked” shape. The chapter suggests that we must account for the complexity of theatrical form in our analysis of early modern disability. It then explores what emerges from deformity — between Richard Gloucester and Richard III — and offers a concept of theatrical disability that begins from the deformations of the actor.
Playing Time, or Sick of Feigning
Authors: Williams Katherine Schaap
Published: January 2022

This chapter explores what the “sick” body accomplishes on the stage, signifying through unelective movement such as a spasm or fit, or involuntary immobility such as a dead palsy. It begins with a medical discourse on epilepsy that demonstrates the difficulty of reading from symptomatic display back to cause, then shifts to theatrical staging. Turning to plays like Shakespeare's The Second Part of Henry the Sixth and Othello and Middleton's Hengist, King of Kent, the chapter investigates how a display of palsy or fit of epilepsy affords the theater the opportunity to experiment with the gap between the body of the actor and the body of the character. Ben Jonson's Volpone is the centerpiece example of the chapter, for Volpone constructs stage properties and faked symptoms into an imposture that then imperils him, stricken with a “dead palsy” when his feigning becomes public. The chapter then considers how disabling performance operates as a fixing mechanism as much as an unfixing iterability.
