Innovation with social and environmental impact
Authors: Leal Érika Andrade Silva , Echeveste Marcia Elisa , Guimarães Lia Buarque de Macedo
Published: December 2022

Goal: This paper presents an assessment of the social and environmental innovation projects developed with the TECNOVA-ES grant from the government of the Brazilian state of Espirito Santo.
Methodological: The methodological approach contemplated three stages: 1) analysis of documentation related to the program from data made available by Espirito Santo's Research and Innovation Support Foundation (FAPES), coordinator of the TECNOVA-ES program; 2) data collection via surveys with participating companies; 3) data treatment and impact assessment.
Results: Our findings showed that over 60% of the projects had positive social impact and over 56% had a positive environmental impact.
Limitations of the investigation: One of the limitations refers to sample size. The TECNOVA-ES program contemplated 38 companies in Espirito Santo, out of which only 27 answered the survey.
Practical implications: In terms of public policy repercussions, this paper advises governments on the need to include the privilege of supporting innovation in its development programs, and that governments use their demand capacity to lead and direct entrepreneurs in the development of sustainable products and services.
Originality/Value: This research contributes to literature by approaching a topic that does not get enough attention in Brazil when it comes to public innovation grants. The dimensions of the assessment which were contemplated - social and environmental - are crucial to the country's contribution to reach the 17 Sustainable Development Goals.
Freikirche – Anmerkungen zu einem konfessionskundlich komplizierten Begriff
Authors: Voigt Karl Heinz
Published: December 2022

Das Wort „Freikirche“ ist auch rund 150 Jahre nach seiner Entstehung ein konfessionskundlich nicht eindeutiger Begriff. Daher wird in diesem Beitrag vorgeschlagen, den Ausdruck „Minderheitskirchen“ zu verwenden, um lokalgemeindlich orientierte Bünde, weltweit verfasste Kirchen und konfessionell begründete Kirchen einerseits von nichtverfassten, sich selbst so apostrophierenden „freikirchlichen“ Gemeinschaften andererseits zu unterscheiden.
Orthodoxie und Moderne

Das Verhältnis der östlich-orthodoxen Kirchen zur „Moderne“ wird seit langem immer wieder diskutiert. Am Umgang der orthodoxen Kirchen mit der Corona-Pandemie lassen sich neue Perspektiven auf dieses Thema gewinnen. Daher wird hier am Beispiel von Kirche und Gesellschaft in Griechenland der Umgang mit der Pandemie beleuchtet und hinsichtlich des Verhältnisses zur „Moderne“ mit der Lage in Deutschland differenziert vergleichend ausgewertet.
Physiological and modulatory role of thioredoxins in the cellular function
Authors: Xinastle-Castillo Luis Omar , Landa Abraham
Published: December 2022

Thioredoxins (TRXs) are a class of ubiquitous and multifunctional protein. Mammal cells present three isoforms: a cytosolic and extracellular called thioredoxin 1 (TRX1), a mitochondrial (TRX2), and one specific in spermatozoids (TRX3). Besides, a truncated form called TRX80 exists, which results from the post-translational cleavage performed on TRX1. TRXs’ main function is to maintain the reduction–oxidation homeostasis of the cell, reducing the proteins through a thiol-disulfide exchange that depends on two cysteines located in the active site of the protein (Cys32-X-X-Cys35 in humans). In addition, TRX1 performs S-nitrosylation, a post-translational modification of proteins that depends on cysteines of its C-terminal region (Cys62, Cys69, and Cys73 in human TRX1). These modifications allow the TRXs to modulate the protein function and participate in regulating diverse cellular processes, such as oxidative stress, transcription, signaling cascades, apoptosis, inflammation, and immunologic response. This points out the crucial relevance of TRXs for cell function, signaling it as a strategic target for the treatment of many diseases and its possible use as a therapeutic factor.
Basal Forebrain Chemogenetic Inhibition Converts the Attentional Control Mode of Goal-Trackers to That of Sign-Trackers
Authors: Kucinski Aaron , Avila Cassandra , Sarter Martin
Published: December 2022

Sign tracking versus goal tracking in rats indicate vulnerability and resistance, respectively, to Pavlovian cue-evoked addictive drug taking and relapse. Here, we tested hypotheses predicting that the opponent cognitive-behavioral styles indexed by sign tracking versus goal tracking include variations in attentional performance which differentially depend on basal forebrain projection systems. Pavlovian Conditioned Approach (PCA) testing was used to identify male and female sign-trackers (STs) and goal-trackers (GTs), as well as rats with an intermediate phenotype (INTs). Upon reaching asymptotic performance in an operant task requiring the detection of visual signals (hits) as well as the reporting of signal absence for 40 min per session, GTs scored more hits than STs, and hit rates across all phenotypes correlated with PCA scores. STs missed relatively more signals than GTs specifically during the last 15 min of a session. Chemogenetic inhibition of the basal forebrain decreased hit rates in GTs but was without effect in STs. Moreover, the decrease in hits in GTs manifested solely during the last 15 min of a session. Transfection efficacy in the horizontal limb of the diagonal band (HDB), but not substantia innominate (SI) or nucleus basalis of Meynert (nbM), predicted the behavioral efficacy of chemogenetic inhibition in GTs. Furthermore, the total subregional transfection space, not transfection of just cholinergic neurons, correlated with performance effects. These results indicate that the cognitive-behavioral phenotype indexed by goal tracking, but not sign tracking, depends on activation of the basal forebrain-frontal cortical projection system and associated biases toward top-down or model-based performance.
FACTORS OF GENDER PAY GAP IN THE HIGHEST WAGES OF EMPLOYEES IN THE SLOVAK REPUBLIC
Authors: Pacáková Viera , Labudová Viera , Sipková Ľubica
Published: December 2022

The article contains the results of empirical analysis of data on one percent of employees with the highest salaries in the Slovak Republic in 2020. The starting point for the analysis there is 11,570 anonymized individual values of average gross monthly wage and also personal data of the employees whose wage exceeded the 99th percentile of the sample survey The Informational System on Labour Costs, implemented in the Slovak Republic since 1992 by the company Trexima Bratislava. The aim of the article is to assess the gender pay gap for the best-earning men and women and assess the significance of the impact of selected factors that contribute it. Given the availability of data the monitored factors of the gender pay gap there are education, region of residence, the type of occupation, and the categorized age of employees. To achieve the objective, selected quantitative methods were used, namely methods of descriptive statistics and statistical inference, as goodness-of-fit tests, chi-squared tests of independence and machine learning methods, as normalized Shannon entropy and regression decision tree models. The results of analyses by these methods have been preferably presented in a graphical form. Based on the application of the above methods the significant wage differences by gender at the highest wages (over the 99th percentile of the sample) and significant impact of monitored factors has been confirmed not only on the gender pay gap, but also on the structure of their employment. The results of the analyses lead to the conclusion that the significant wage differences by gender at the highest wages are caused precisely by unequal representation of men and women on the different levels of the monitored factors. The obtained results are partially compared with the results of a similar analysis based on data from 2010 (Pacáková et al., 2012).
MINSKY MEETS PORTER
Authors: Erkut Burak
Published: December 2022

Hyman P. Minsky and Michael E. Porter have developed theories of economic development independently from each other, both being influenced by Joseph A. Schumpeter in different ways. In this contribution, the author focuses on understanding the similarities and differences between these two approaches based on their epistemological, ontological and ethical-political perspectives, also by identifying how they are related to each other in a particular type of economic development named as ‘money-manager capitalism’ in Minsky’s framework and ‘wealth-driven competitive stage’ in Porter’s. The approach starts by describing the Porterian and Minskyan perspectives, moves on to analyzing them from their epistemological, ontological and ethical-political perspectives, and it also questions how these two phenomena are related by pointing out to the common Schumpeterian perspectives as well as fundamental differences between the two. The contribution concludes by stating that even though differences are present, both approaches are Schumpeterian in their own way – and describe a similar end to competitive development, one that is based on managing accumulated wealth. This is related to two distinctive areas in economics and administrative sciences: Firstly, it shows how the two scholars’ ideas are related with a possible source of influence, contributing to history of economic thought. Secondly, it shows the fate of economies once they innovate and become innovation driven; over time, income generated from innovation becomes a source of concern, and influences the risk-taking behavior of the economic system for the sake of protecting the income. In this way, the approach contributes to countries’ competitive positions and how two important scholars of economics and administrative sciences observe the start of the decline.

Published: December 2022

El objetivo del estudio fue investigar los efectos de proporcionar información probabilística, obtenida del análisis en vídeo de las tendencias de pase de las colocadoras oponentes, sobre el rendimiento en el bloqueo de una jugadora de alto nivel de voleibol. Se analizó su tiempo de reacción, toma de decisión y calidad de ejecución durante 1117 acciones de bloqueo realizadas en 18 partidos de competición, antes y después de recibir esa información contextual de los ataques rivales. Los resultados revelaron que la bloqueadora reaccionó antes (p < .001) en aquellos partidos que recibió información sobre las tendencias de pase de las colocadoras oponentes. En cambio, esta información contextual no tuvo influencia sobre sus decisiones, ni en la calidad de ejecución de sus movimientos. Estos resultados refuerzan el uso de información probabilística como una estrategia competitiva para iniciar antes una respuesta preparatoria a la acción de bloqueo en voleibol de alto nivel.
Lotmanian Perspective on Complexity in Cultural Systems
Authors: Rickberg Merit
Published: December 2022

This article sets out to discuss the potential of Juri Lotman’s semiotic theory to serve as a ground from where a new understanding of cultural complexity could emerge. While the connection between Lotman and complex systems theory is quite well established, what is yet to be clarified is the ways in which his approach differs from the universally accepted understandings of complex dynamics, i.e., what makes Lotman’s perspective on complexity unique? The article also explores the possibility of developing Lotman’s ideas further in the context of the contemporary paradigm of complex thought with the aim of clarifying the specifics of complexity in cultural systems. In order to fill these aims, the article will first compare Juri Lotman’s ideas with a generally recognized understanding of complexity to delineate a common ground. Then, the paper will address the issue of how studying complexity differs in physical systems and cultural systems, focusing on how this matter has been discussed in semiotics. The final part of the article will propose some initial lines of thoughts regarding how Lotman’s ideas could be advanced further to grasp the phenomenon of complexity in culture.

Published: December 2022

Three-dimensional models of flat Peltier thermoelectric elements with different geometric shapes of semiconductor material: cube, cylinder, truncated pyramid and two monolithic truncated pyramids were created and studied. The volume of the semiconductor material is 8 mm2 and its height is 2 mm, with the height being a fixed distance between the contact plates (conductors) and the work plate in all models. In fact, all considered models are created from the same semiconductor material and are studied under the same initial conditions. For research and calculation of three-dimensional models, the finite element method was used in the ELCUT software complex. As a result of the conducted research, the main electrical and thermal parameters of the created models of flat thermoelectric elements were obtained, which include: current density and temperature on the conductors of thermoelectric elements. Comparative analysis of the obtained thermoelectric parameters made it possible to choose the most effective types of forms of semiconductor material to increase the efficiency of using the Peltier thermoelectric effect.

MINORITAS MUSLIM DI NEGARA KOMUNIS LAOS: PERKEMBANGAN DALAM KETERBATASAN
Authors: Pratama Fikri Surya
Published: December 2022

The general statement is that minority groups have always been discriminated against by the majority, plus Laos itself carries out communism as the state ideology. In general, the discourse on the equality of communists with atheists is quite popular in the community. Not only labeled as having no religion, a state labeled as communist is synonymous with not supporting the existence of an ethnicity or a religious community. This article aims to explain the history and life of Muslim groups in Laos as a minority community group. This research is a historical research, where in collecting data sources using literature study techniques, and data analysis using a political history approach. The results of the study show that Laos, which is geographically located in the middle of mainland Indochina, makes it a crossroads of culture and religion. The political turmoil in the Indochina region and the civil war in Laos had an impact on the number of Laos' Muslim population. Pathet Lao's victory over the civil war resulted in an authoritarian communist government, causing the Muslim population to shrink. The 1991 Lao Constitution amendment in 2003 brought a breath of fresh air with religious freedom to the Lao people. Although there are still problems with human and financial resources in developing the community and da'wah, Laotian Muslims live quietly in a communist country. Islam in Laos is developing slowly but quietly within its limitations.

Published: December 2022

Basic literacy habituation through reading activities for SD IT El-Fatah students is a service program that aims to empower the community of SD IT El-Fatah through basic reading literacy activities. The main target in this program is grade III students. The series of service activities start from the planning stage to identify the needs and strengths of students and schools. The results show that reading facilities and infrastructure in schools are not adequate and students' reading interest is still low, so plans are made to create a reading corner and a reading literacy habituation program. The implementation stage is the actualization of the plan to produce a reading corner equipped with a collection of children's story books, followed by the application of basic literacy habits through reading to third-grade students. The results of the implementation of basic literacy habituation are written on reading cards and analyzed for evaluation. Based on the results of habituation of basic literacy reading, it is known that 1) the existence of a reading corner and habituation of basic literacy reading received a positive response from students; 2) students experienced an increase in reading interest as seen from the increase in the number of pages read per day; 3) the diversity in students' reading skills can be seen from the different average number of pages that students can read per day; 4) the existence of a reading corner and a basic literacy habituation program are factors that can influence students' reading interest in terms of environmental factors and facilities.

Aim of the study: To compare the serum levels of IL-12 and IL-23 between healthy volunteers and patients with multiple sclerosis with regard to their cognitive function. Materials and methods: A total of 21 patients with multiple sclerosis and 21 healthy individuals were enrolled into the study. The individuals were age- and sex-matched. Each participant was evaluated using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was performed to assess the serum levels of IL-12 and IL-23. Results: The concentration of IL-12 was 1.61 ± 4.61 pg/mL in the group of patients with multiple sclerosis and 1.78 ± 3.54 pg/mL in the control group, p = 0.5009. The concentration of IL-23 was 19.04 ± 75.50 pg/mL in the study group and 5.50 ± 14.4 pg/mL in the control group, p = 0.5170. A significant difference was found between the control and study groups in the MoCA cognitive test (28 vs. 24 points, respectively, p < 0.0001). There was no significant difference in the Beck Depression Inventory and PSQI between the control and study groups. No significant correlations were found between the IL-12/IL-23 serum levels and psychological evaluations. Conclusions and clinical implications: The results obtained indicate that IL-12 and IL-23 may not play a role in the development of cognitive impairment. The assessment of cognitive impairment in patients with multiple sclerosis may have a screening value in preventing their cognitive deterioration.

Aim: The aim of the study was to assess early outcomes of manual therapy in patients with carpal tunnel syndrome. Materials and methods: In this study, patients diagnosed with electrophysiologically confirmed carpal tunnel syndrome received manual therapy. The therapy was used in 41 individuals who received one session in line with IFOMPT (International Federation of Orthopaedic Manipulative Physical Therapists) standards per week for 5 weeks. Grip strength was assessed using a dynamometer, disability was assessed using the DASH (Disability of Arm, Shoulder and Hand) questionnaire, and the quality of life was assessed using VASEQ5D5L (Visual Analog Scale of the 5-level EQ-5D). Data was collected before the first treatment and one week after the last treatment. Results: We observed significant change in DASH score and quality of life. Grip strength tended to improve, but the effect was statistically significant only in patients over 50 years of age. Symptom severity (Carpal Tunnel 6 score, Douleur Neuropathique 4 score and peripheral cutaneous threshold assessed with Semmes–Weinstein monofilament) improved significantly. There was no significant correlation between changes in DASH score and grip strength. Conclusion: Manual therapy significantly improves quality of life and reduces upper limb disability in patients with carpal tunnel syndrome.
A new look at the clinical and molecular characteristics of SCN1A-related developmental and epileptic encephalopathies

SCN1A-related diseases are a heterogeneous group of disorders with an expanding spectrum of phenotypes. Until recently, mutations in this gene were associated with epileptic syndromes and epileptic and developmental encephalopathy – Dravet syndrome, which was contrasted with a new group of early-onset syndromes, non-Dravet developmental and epileptic encephalopathies (DEEs; OMIM: PS308350). The aim of this paper is to review published data on the phenotypic variability of SCN1A-related developmental and epileptic encephalopathies, particularly non-Dravet syndromes. These are disorders with very early onset, polymorphic, drug-resistant epileptic seizures, impaired psychomotor development and intellectual disability, as well as the presence of additional symptoms such as arthrogryposis, osteopenia, and hyperkinetic movement disorders. Unlike Dravet syndrome, epileptic seizures begin in the first few months of life and may have an epileptic spasm or tonic morphology. The ability to quickly recognise the non-Dravet developmental and epileptic encephalopathy is of significant clinical value, because the identification of pathogenic SCN1A variants and their functional evaluation have an impact on both treatment and prognosis. Studies on the aetiology of non-Dravet developmental and epileptic encephalopathies have shown that pathogenic variants of the gain of function (GOF) type are identified in these patients. Therefore, it is possible to treat such patients with medicaments from the group of sodium channel blockers, which were contraindicated in cases of loss of function (LOF) variants, occurring in Dravet syndrome.
BiVaSE: A bilingual variational sentence encoder with randomly initialized Transformer layers
Authors: Nyéki Bence
Published: December 2022

Transformer-based NLP models have achieved state-of-the-art results in many NLP tasks including text classification and text generation. However, the layers of these models do not output any explicit representations for texts units larger than tokens (e.g. sentences), although such representations are required to perform text classification. Sentence encodings are usually obtained by applying a pooling technique during fine-tuning on a specific task. In this paper, a new sentence encoder is introduced. Relying on an autoencoder architecture, it was trained to learn sentence representations from the very beginning of its training. The model was trained on bilingual data with variational Bayesian inference. Sentence representations were evaluated in downstream and linguistic probing tasks. Although the newly introduced encoder generally performs worse than well-known Transformer-based encoders, the experiments show that it was able to learn to incorporate linguistic information in the sentence representations.
Don’t Shoot the Messenger SVP: A Brief Essay on the Theory of Typology
Authors: Tostões Ana , Silva Jaime
Published: December 2022

The evolution of architecture has been recurrently dependent, either consciously, or subconsciously, on inherited knowledge. However, not within a scheme of literal replicas, but yes through a symbiosis between copy and invention on abstract core characteristics. The present essay intends to shine some light on Type and Typology’s role on the awareness of such process, by developing a brief journey through their juvenile and tumultuous existence as a theoretical problem. Besides that, this essay also explores two collateral reasonings. Firstly, that Typology, although being only a tool, has been taken as the ‘scapegoat’ of the architectonic ideologies that took profit of it. And secondly, that Types, in architecture, should not be solely associated with the structure of forms, but to the larger realm of Concepts.
Preliminary report on the prediction of "Afternoon Effect"
Authors: Iselin Columbus O'Donnell
Published: December 2022

With moderate or light winds and a clear sky the diurnal heating which occurs near the sea surface can cause a serious reduction in the range of submarine detection, especially on shallow targets. This has usually been called the “afternoon effect", although as will be noticed below the ranges often remain short long after sun down. The heating of surface waters which causes such sharp downward refraction can of course be noted on a bathythermograph record, provided pen vibration does not confuse the upper part of the trace. Unfortunately it is the upper 20 or 30 feet of a bathythermograph curve which in the case of ships moving faster than 12 knots is often somewhat difficult to read with sufficient certainty. Moreover, in planning a days operations it is clearly desirable to know in advance how much reduction in range may be expected from diurnal warming.
Two types of lenses for deep underwater photography
Authors:   Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution
Published: December 2022

In underwater photography, the object is immersed in water while the image is usually formed in air. The most obvious, straightforward way to form an image under these circumstances with a conventional type of lens is to use a plane parallel slab of glass as a window in front of the lens to separate the water from the air space. For most types of camera lenses, this is a perfectly adequate solution; But if one looks at the problem carefully, it is evident that such a system introduces a chromatic aberration referred to as lateral color. The source of this aberration is illustrated in Fig. 1. The dispersion at the glass to air interface overcompensates for the dispersion at the water to glass interface. As a result, the direction of a ray entering the camera lens for any given ray incident on the window varies with the wavelength of light.
Final Report 2022: Update and expansion of the WVC mitigation measures and their cost-benefit model
Authors: Huijser MP , Duffield J.W. , Neher C. , Clevenger A.P. , Mcguire T.
Published: December 2022

This report contains an update and an expansion of a cost-benefit model for wildlife-vehicle collisions and associated mitigation measures along highways, that was originally calculated in 2007 US$ and published in 2009. The direct cost values (vehicle repair, human injuries, human fatalities) were updated for deer, elk, and moose, and expanded by including additional species: gray wolf (Canis lupus), grizzly bear (Ursus arctos), and free ranging or feral domesticated species including cattle, horse, and burro. The costs associated with collisions were also expanded by including passive use, or nonuse values associated with the conservation value of selected wild animal species. The total costs (in 2020 US$) associated with a collision with deer, elk and moose were about 2-3 times (direct costs only) or about 3-4 times higher (direct costs and passive use values combined) compared to the values in 2007 US$. The passive use costs associated with threatened species (wolf, grizzly bear) were higher or much higher than the direct costs. The costs associated with mitigation measures (especially fences and wildlife crossing structures) were also updated and supplemented with new data. New cost-benefit analyses generated updated or entirely new threshold values for deer, elk, moose, and grizzly bear. If collisions with these large wild mammal species reach or surpass the threshold values, it is economically defensible to install the associated type and combination of mitigation measures, both based on direct use and passive use parameters and their associated values. The trend in increasing costs associated with vehicle repair costs, costs associated with human injuries and fatalities, and through including passive use values for wildlife is that we learn that the implementation of effective mitigation measures can be considered earlier and more readily than based on the cost-benefit model published in 2009.
CONSIDERACIONES CERCA DE LA ÉTICA EN LOS ESTUDIOS ORGANIZACIONALES CRÍTICOS LATINOAMERICANOS
Authors: Camara Guilherme Dornelas
Published: December 2022

RESUMEN Este artículo busca en la figura literaria del Caliban contribuciones a los estudios organizacionales críticos en Latinoamérica. Eso se debe a la necesidad de cuestionar las fundaciones de este mismo campo epistémico a partir de los aportes de algunos elementos de una ética genuinamente dedicada a los problemas de la región. Para eso, realiza una aproximación entre la Ética de la Liberación y la teoría acerca de Caliban desarrollada por Fernández Retamar. El texto aporta al campo elementos de una crítica socialmente comprometida, necesarios en el tiempo en que vivimos, y al mismo tiempo responsable y ética. Uno de los planteamientos centrales es que no es posible pensar en un conocimiento crítico y en una ciencia superadora de la negación de la vida de los pueblos de la región sin reubicar quién somos los críticos y sin cambiar la relación Yo-Otro.
DESEMPENHO DA GESTÃO HOSPITALAR POR PARCERIAS PÚBLICOPRIVADAS NO SISTEMA ÚNICO DE SAÚDE
Authors: Fernandes Fernanda dos Santos , Bordin Ronaldo
Published: December 2022

RESUMO O objetivo do estudo foi comparar indicadores de desempenho dos hospitais com gestão por Parceria Público-Privada versus hospitais de mesmo porte com outros modelos de gestão vinculados ao Sistema Único de Saúde. Trata-se de estudo descritivo, com base em dados secundários do Sistema de Internações Hospitalares e do Cadastro Nacional dos Estabelecimentos de Saúde, no biênio 2018-2019, que avaliou os 3 hospitais com gestão por Parceria Público-Privada no país: Hospital do Subúrbio, Instituto Couto Maia, ambos na Bahia, e o Hospital Metropolitano Doutor Célio de Castro em Minas Gerais. Cada hospital foi comparado com outros três hospitais de mesma tipologia, e porte semelhante, situados na mesma unidade da federação. Os indicadores avaliados foram: tempo médio de permanência, taxa de ocupação de leitos, taxa de mortalidade hospitalar e valor médio da internação. Os resultados dos hospitais geridos por Parceria Público-Privada não se mostraram superiores em relação aos hospitais comparados, sendo que no caso do Instituto Couto Maia o desempenho foi superior apenas na taxa de ocupação de leitos, do Hospital do Subúrbio no tempo médio de permanência, e o Hospital Metropolitano Doutor Célio de Castro não se mostrou superior em nenhum indicador. O valor médio da internação foi apresentado como um parâmetro, pois o valor efetivamente pago pelos governos às Parcerias Público-Privadas foi maior.

A necessidade de métodos didáticos e interativos cresce de maneira proporcional visando uma maior motivação e melhor aprendizagem por parte dos alunos. Nos cursos de graduação em Física Médica no Brasil, a disciplina de Física das Radiações é fundamental para a formação profissional do estudante. O objetivo deste trabalho é utilizar o código de Monte Carlo TOPAS para simular experimentos que possibilitem a discussão de conteúdos abordados na disciplina de Física das Radiações. A ferramenta poderá ser utilizada por docentes ao ministrar essa disciplina e por alunos que queiram aprofundar seus conhecimentos e serem introduzidos ao método de Monte Carlo. Inicialmente, foi realizada a validação do TOPAS para os espectros de fótons utilizados através da comparação com dados da literatura. Com isso, foi possível elaborar os arquivos de entrada e realizar a análise de dados dos arquivos de saída para diferentes configurações de irradiação abordadas academicamente de modo a evidenciar a influência de fatores como: estatística das curvas pelo número de histórias; tamanho do campo de irradiação; meios homogêneos e heterogêneos; feixes incidentes de diferentes naturezas. Os resultados obtidos mostram que as simulações elaboradas possibilitam uma análise correta e dinâmica dos processos de interação da radiação com a matéria abordados em Física das Radiações.
Negócios e política no Atlântico em meados do XIX: a atuação dos cônsules de Portugal nos portos do Recife e do Rio de Janeiro
Authors: Oliveira Maria Luiza Ferreira de
Published: December 2022

Resumo Entre 1826 e 1863, três homens de uma mesma família, os Moreira, foram cônsules de Portugal no Recife e no Rio de Janeiro, articulando negócios pelo Atlântico e prestando serviços de natureza variada. Neste trabalho, estudo as disputas nas quais se envolveram e os diferentes papéis que assumiram. Fica claro como cuidavam dos relacionamentos políticos; no Brasil, tiveram acesso direto ao regente e a ministros, além da família real. Ao mesmo tempo em que eram traficantes e azeitaram as engrenagens do tráfico ilegal, negociaram taxas com o governo brasileiro, buscando vantagens para os negociantes da praça do Porto e de Lisboa. À pedido do governo português, intermediaram, do Brasil, o fluxo de trabalhadores pobres entre a Ilha da Madeira, os Açores e os campos de frentes de expansão agrícola em Angola. Tiveram papel decisivo na promoção da imigração em massa para o Brasil de portugueses pobres; agenciaram variadas formas de exploração do trabalho nas novas/velhas rotas do Atlântico. As ações dos cônsules Moreira estiveram permeadas por conflitos; essas disputas envolveram a edição de folhetos, a organização de subscrições; até uma biografia foi editada para defender o nome de João Moreira. Sendo assim, para além da correspondência oficial, são variadas as fontes disponíveis para a análise do papel dos cônsules na articulação de negócios entre o Brasil, Portugal e Angola.
Deriva e desterritorialização no processo de escrita dramatúrgica Odisseia 116
Authors: Lopes Cleilson Queiroz
Published: December 2022

Resumo: O presente artigo é uma análise do processo de escrita da dramaturgia Odisseia 116 a partir de uma viagem de ônibus entre o Rio de Janeiro e o Iguatu, interior do Estado do Ceará e minha terra natal. A dramaturgia se estruturou sobre uma tríade: as características autobiográficas, a possibilidade de entrevistar pessoas e fotografar as paisagens em viagem e a Odisseia homérica. Como metodologia, opto pela cartografia a partir da teórica Suely Rolnik, compreendendo os dois atos estéticos sobre os quais me debruço: viagem e dramaturgia. Articulo questões de desterritorialização, deriva e identidade. Como conclusão, pontuo que as leituras para a feitura deste artigo têm retroalimentado a minha escrita dramatúrgica.
Sobre afetos e fardas: gestão militar e emocionalidade em abrigos para venezuelanos em Roraima, Brasil
Authors: Vasconcelos Iana dos Santos , Santos Sandro Martins de Almeida
Published: December 2022

Resumo O presente artigo tem por objetivo discutir o impacto das emoções sobre a execução de políticas governamentais. No caso específico, o lugar das reações afetivas na conduta dos militares brasileiros que têm a missão de abrigar venezuelanos, migrantes e solicitantes de refúgio, em Boa Vista, Roraima. Com base em dados etnográficos coletados por meio de entrevistas e observação de campo, contrastamos a "acolhida oficial”, supostamente impessoal, e a "acolhida emocional” que é afetada pelo sofrimento do Outro. O duplo vínculo dos militares com a manutenção da ordem e com a assistência social revela a ambivalência da chamada Operação Acolhida enquanto política de securitização e missão humanitária. O artigo gira em torno das implicações de uma "descontinuidade emocional" para a continuidade da ação estatal, apresentando o militar enquanto uma pessoa ciborgue, transitória de emoção e disciplina, ao mesmo tempo pele e farda.
Jackson do Pandeiro: Notes on the Daily Life in the Works of the King of Rhythm
Authors: Santos José Deribaldo Gomes
Published: December 2022

ABSTRACT The present article, which is theoretical, bibliographical as well as phonographic-documental in nature, aims to reflect on how daily life influenced Jackson do Pandeiro’s compositions and interpretations. Moments of Jackson do Pandeiro’s trajectory and excerpts of songs were selected to expose the importance of daily life for his work. The article shows that Jackson do Pandeiro’s works establish a dialectic relationship with the society that raised him, enabling listeners to access a critical potency. This potentiality grants them a new set of lenses to interpret daily life, which, in turn, is the cradle of artists’ inspiration. This set of factors led the musical sphere as well as some of the Brazilian intellectual elite to consider Jackson do Pandeiro the King of Rhythm in the Música Popular Brasileira, MPB [Brazilian Folk Music].

Authors: Novroth Ana Lúcia Macedo
Published: December 2022

ABSTRACT This essay aims to investigate a few chronotopes that organize the narrative of Incidente em Antares [Incident in Antares], by Erico Verissimo. In particular, it intends to examine how political polarization and oblivion are constitutive elements of the novel and, for that reason, chronotopic. The first being a motif of chronotopic nature and occupies a permanent place in the (fictionalized) life organization of the society. The second leads to the epilogue of the narrative and reveals the modus operandi and modus vivendi of the actors. Modes that, in turn, establish a relationship with the oblivion and deceit chronotopes related today to fake news. The research intends to understand the vision of man and the world carved in the Verissian universe, if they are still present in society 50 years after the publication of the work or if they have undergone transformations.
Jackson do Pandeiro: anotações sobre o cotidiano na obra do Rei do Ritmo
Authors: Santos José Deribaldo Gomes
Published: December 2022

RESUMO O presente artigo, de natureza teórico, bibliográfica e fonográfico-documental, objetiva realizar uma reflexão acerca de como o cotidiano influencia as composições e as interpretações de Jackson do Pandeiro. Para isso, elegeram-se alguns traços da trajetória do músico paraibano. Para efeito do texto, recortam-se determinadas canções do artista com o intuito de demonstrar a importância do cotidiano para a obra do cantor. A título de considerações, o artigo documenta que a obra do músico, em relação dialética com a sociedade que o cria, possibilita que os receptores tenham acesso a uma potência crítica. Essa potencialidade dota os receptores de uma nova lente para interpretar o cotidiano, o qual, por sua vez, é o solo próprio de nascimento das inspirações musicais do artista. Esse conjunto de fatores levou o meio musical e parte da intelectualidade brasileira a considerar Jackson do Pandeiro o Rei do Ritmo da chamada Música Popular Brasileira (MPB).
Da polarização política ao esquecimento: um breve estudo dos cronotopos de Incidente em Antares, de Erico Verissimo
Authors: Novroth Ana Lúcia Macedo
Published: December 2022

RESUMO Este artigo tem como escopo averiguar alguns dos cronotopos que organizam a narrativa de Incidente em Antares, de Erico Verissimo. Tenciona-se examinar, em especial, de que modo a polarização política e o esquecimento são elementos constitutivos do romance, por essa razão, cronotópicos. O primeiro é um motivo de natureza cronotópica e ocupa um lugar permanente na organização da vida da sociedade (ficcionalizada); o segundo direciona ao epílogo da narrativa e revela o modus operandi e o modus vivendi dos atores, modos que, por sua vez, estabelecem relação com os cronotopos do esquecimento e do engano relacionados hoje às fake news. Pretende-se compreender a visão de homem e de mundo entalhadas no universo verissiano, se ainda estão presentes na sociedade 50 anos após a publicação, ou se sofreram transformações.
A heterodiscursividade em narrativas fantásticas da tradição oral
Authors: Araújo Nádia Barros , Araújo André Luís de
Published: December 2022

RESUMO Este artigo investiga a presença do heterodiscurso em narrativas da tradição oral. Para tanto, a fundamentação teórica baseia-se na perspectiva bakhtiniana, que compreende o discurso, nas narrativas literárias, como marcado pela heterodiscursividade, evidenciando uma diversidade de vozes sociais que sinalizam modos de compreensão e pontos de vista sobre o mundo. A análise do corpus, composto por duas narrativas da tradição oral, aponta, portanto, que as vozes do narrador, dos contadores tradicionais de histórias e das personagens aparecem em constante dialogicidade com as vozes sociais, orientadas por axiologias, posições e centros valorativos de ordem social, cultural e histórica. O estudo constatou, assim, formas de refletir e de refratar os acontecimentos da existência, quadros morais que os pautam e as compreensões dos modos de ser e de agir em situações concretas da vida em sociedade, em consonância com os pressupostos dialógicos da pesquisa.
