Effect of miRNAs in lung cancer suppression and oncogenesis
Authors: Zhang Suning , Liu Zongang
Published: December 2016

MicroRNA (miRNAs) is a group of small non-coding RNAs. It is involved in multiple cellular processes including proliferation, development, metabolism, differentiation and apoptosis; many of which are linked to several pathological conditions, including cancer. Lung cancer is one of the leading causes of mortality in the world: in 2008 for example, there were 163,000 deaths as a result of lung cancer. Despite technologies emerging which provide the potential for novel targeted therapies and improved early diagnoses, the overall rate of five-year survival still remains at only 15%. One reason for this disappointing statistic is related to the presentation of the disease, and specifically a lack of markers for early detection. Notably, the expression of some miRNAs has been reported to be involved in the diagnosis, classification and even prognosis of lung cancer. Tumorsuppressive and oncogenic miRNAs were found in lung carcinogenesis and the biological functions of these miRNAs have been validated in transplantable lung cancer models and human paired normal-malignant lung tissue banks. Some of these tumor-suppressive and oncogenic miRNAs related to lung cancer will be reviewed here. This article will focus on emphasing miRNAs effectiveness as a biomarker in lung carcinogenesis and candidate pharmacology. Furthermore, how these findings improve our understanding of lung cancer biology and therapy will also be discussed.

Authors: Benzi Michele , Uçar Bora
Published: December 2016

We introduce a class of preconditioners for general sparse matrices based
on the Birkhoff–von Neumann decomposition of doubly stochastic matrices.
These preconditioners are aimed primarily at solving challenging linear
systems with highly unstructured and indefinite coefficient matrices.
We present some theoretical results and numerical experiments on
linear systems from a variety of applications.
Schottky groups acting on homogeneous rational manifolds
Authors: Miebach Christian , Oeljeklaus Karl
Published: December 2016

We systematically study Schottky group actions on homogeneous rational
manifolds and find two new families besides those given by Nori’s well-known
construction. This yields new examples of non-Kähler compact complex manifolds
having free fundamental groups. We then investigate their analytic and geometric
invariants such as the Kodaira and algebraic dimension, the Picard group and
the deformation theory, thus extending results due to Lárusson and to Seade
and Verjovsky. As a byproduct, we see that the Schottky construction allows to
recover examples of equivariant compactifications of

Authors: Kalaria P. C. , Avramidis K. A. , Franck J. , Gantenbein G. , Illy S. , Jin J. , Pagonakis I. Gr. , Thumm M. , Jelonnek J.
Published: December 2016

As part of the EUROfusion project, the conceptual design of a 1 MW 236 GHz hollow-cavity gyrotron is ongoing at IHM, KIT for a DEMOnstration Power Plant (DEMO), along with a 2 MW coaxial-cavity design concept. Fast frequency-tunable gyrotrons (tuning within a few seconds) are recommended for plasma stabilization using a non-steerable antenna. In this work, the mode-selection approach for such a frequency-tunable gyrotron is presented and suitable operating modes for fast frequency tunability are suggested. Magnetic field tuning has been studied as an effective technique to tune the gyrotron operating frequency. The step-tunability of the 236 GHz gyrotron within the frequency range of ±10 GHz in steps of 2–3 GHz is demonstrated in numerical simulations. A hybrid-type Quasi-Optical Launcher (QOL) has been designed for a step-frequency tunable gyrotron with sufficiently high Fundamental Gaussian Mode Content (FGMC).
Certain results concerning operators on a Lie algebra and double index sequences
Authors: Khan Subuhi , Ali Mahvish
Published: December 2016

In this paper, a result for double index sequences is established by using a quadratic combination of four operators defined on a Lie algebra of endomorphisms of a vector space.
This result is used to give new proofs of some properties of the Bessel and Tricomi functions of two indices. Further, this result is extended for multi-index sequences.

The normality criteria for families of entire algebroid functions
Authors: Chai Fujie , Gao Zongsheng
Published: December 2016

In this paper, we first prove that the normality
of a family of k-valued algebroid functions is not equivalent to the normality of the family of the coefficient functions in general.
Moreover, by combining the Valiron characteristic function of algebroid functions and the Schottky theorem of holomorphic functions, we investigate the growth relationship between the maximum modulus of an algebroid function and the maximum modulus of its coefficient functions.
On this basis, we prove several normality criteria which do not need to restrict the quantity of branch points and contain a very interesting Montel-type normality criterion for entire algebroid function families.

RFCAG2013: Russian-Finnish comparison of
absolute gravimeters in 2013
Authors: Mäkinen J. , Sermyagin R.A. , Oshchepkov I.A. , Basmanov A.V. , Pozdnyakov A.V. , Yushkin V.D. , Stus Yu.F. , Nosov D.A.
Published: December 2016

In June–July 2013,we performed a comparison of
five absolute gravimeters of different types. The gravimeters
were the FG5X-221 of the FGI, the FG5-110 and GBL-M
002 of the TsNIIGaiK, the GABL-PM of the IAE SB RAS, and
the GABL-M of the NIIMorGeofizika (Murmansk, Russia).
The three last-mentioned are field-type portable gravimeters
made by the Institute of Automation and Electrometry
in Novosibirsk, and this is the first international comparison
for them. This Russian-Finnish Comparison of Absolute
Gravimeters RFCAG2013 was conducted at four sites
with different characteristics: at the field sites Pulkovo and
Svetloe near St. Petersburg, and at the laboratory sites
TsNIIGaIK in Moscow and Zvenigorod near Moscow. At
the TsNIIGAiK site and at Zvenigorod two piers were used,
such that altogether six stations were occupied. The FG5X-
221 provides the link to the CCM.G-K2 Key Comparison in
Luxembourg in November 2013. Recently, the Consultative
Committee for Mass and Related Quantities and the International
Association of Geodesy drafted a strategy on how
to best transmit the results of Key Comparisons of absolute
gravimeters to benefit the geodetic and geophysical
gravimetric community. Our treatment of the RFCAG2013
presents one of the first practical applications of the ideas
of the strategy document, andwe discuss the resulting uncertainty
structure. Regarding the comparison results, we
find the gravimeters show consistent offsets at the quite
different sites. All except one gravimeter are in equivalence.

Published: December 2016

We present in this paper some results obtained
in the field of space geodesy based on continuous GPS observations
at the Astronomical Observatory of Mongolia.
Starting with a brief historical overview of the main space
geodetic activities carried out by the Astronomical Observatory
in the past, we outline here current achievements
in the application of GPS techniques in the geosciences
research in Mongolia. We setup a local GNSS Data Center
of the Mongolian Academy of Sciences to receive, quality
control and process into derivative products the observation
data coming from its continuously recording stations.
The quality check performed on three non-real-time
permanent stations reveals that all three stations show
smooth trends of each parameter indicating good quality
in data record and operation without any anomalous behavior.
Tail Behavior and Dependence Structure in the APARCH Model
Authors: Javed Farrukh , Podgórski Krzysztof
Published: December 2016

The APARCH model attempts to capture asymmetric responses of volatility to positive and negative ‘news shocks’ – the phenomenon known as the leverage effect. Despite its potential, the model’s properties have not yet been fully investigated. While the capacity to account for the leverage is clear from the defining structure, little is known how the effect is quantified in terms of the model’s parameters. The same applies to the quantification of heavy-tailedness and dependence. To fill this void, we study the model in further detail. We study conditions of its existence in different metrics and obtain explicit characteristics: skewness, kurtosis, correlations and leverage. Utilizing these results, we analyze the roles of the parameters and discuss statistical inference. We also propose an extension of the model. Through theoretical results we demonstrate that the model can produce heavy-tailed data. We illustrate these properties using S&P500 data and country indices for dominant European economies.
Value distribution of meromorphic solutions of homogeneous and non-homogeneous complex linear differential-difference equations
Authors: Luo Li-Qin , Zheng Xiu-Min
Published: December 2016

In this paper, we investigate the value distribution of meromorphic solutions of homogeneous and non-homogeneous complex linear differential-difference equations, and obtain the results on the relations between the order of the solutions and the convergence exponents of the zeros, poles, a-points and small function value points of the solutions, which show the relations in the case of non-homogeneous equations are sharper than the ones in the case of homogeneous equations.
An object-based model for convective cold pool dynamics
Authors: Böing S.J.
Published: December 2016

A simple model of the organization of atmospheric moist convection by cold outflows is presented. The model consists of two layers: a lower layer where instability gradually builds up, and an upper layer where instability is rapidly released. Its formulation is inspired by Abelian sandpile models: instability and convection are both represented in terms of particles that are coupled to a lattice grid. An excess of particles in the lower layer triggers a particle release into the upper (cloud) layer. Particles in the upper layer also induce particle movement in the lower layer: this reverse coupling represents the effect of precipitation and the associated cold outflows.

The model shows two behavioral regimes. Activity is scattered when the reverse coupling is weak, but when it is strong, convection forms cellular patterns. Though this model does not contain a detailed representation of physical processes in convection, it captures some key dynamical features of precipitating convection seen in satellite observations and LES studies. These include the formation of open cells, temporal oscillations in convective intensity, hysteresis, and the effect of precipitation on the scale of convection. We argue that an object-based representation of convection may be able to capture properties of convective organization that are missing in traditional parameterizations.
Studies on structural, optical and electrical properties of electron beam evaporated Cu2SnSe3 thin films
Authors: Helan P. Prathiba Jeya , Mohanraj K. , Sivakumar G.
Published: December 2016

The present work describes the deposition of semiconducting Cu2SnSe3 thin films by electron beam evaporation method. The structure of the deposited films was characterized by XRD and Raman analysis. X-ray diffraction study revealed that the Cu2SnSe3 thin films had a cubic sphalerite-like structure with crystallite size of 12 nm. Raman spectrum of the thin films confirmed the phase purity. FESEM analysis showed a continuous film with polydispersed grains of a diameter less than 1 цш and the elemental composition was confirmed by EDS spectrum. The UV-Vis spectrum revealed that the sample had high absorption in the visible region and the band gap was found to be 1.15 eV. The I-V graph exhibited the electrical resistivity and conductivity of the film as 2.13 Ω-cm and 0.468 S/cm, respectively. Thus, the electron beam evaporated Cu2SnSe3 thin films showed high purity of structure and good morphological, optical and electrical properties comparable with other methods of thin film deposition.
Stress - Strain Response of the Human Spine Intervertebral Disc As an Anisotropic Body. Mathematical Modeling and Computation
Authors: Minárová Mária , Sumec Jozef
Published: December 2016

The paper deals with the biomechanical investigation on the human lumbar intervertebral disc under the static load. The disc is regarded as a two - phased ambient consisting of a fibrous outer part called annulus fibrosis and a liquid inner part nucleus pulposus. Due to the fibrous structure, the annulus fibrosis can be treated by using a special case of anisotropy - transversal isotropy.

In the paper the corresponding tensor of material constants is derived. The tensor consequently incomes to the constitutive equations determining the stress - strain relation in the material. In order to study the mechanical behaviour the disc is observed within the motion segment, the basic unit for motion tracing. The motion segment involves two neighbouring vertebrae and the intervertebral disc between them that connect them both.

When constitutive equations are accomplished, they can be incorporated in the finite element analysis. The illustrative example of the intervertebral disc L2/L3, the disc between the second and the third lumbar vertebrae the lumbar part of spine, with its computer implementation is performed. Finally the comparison of the results of using anisotropic and homogenized approach is provided. The comparison illustrates the eligibility of such a kind of approach.
The Healing Shrines of St. Phoibammon: Evidence of Cult Activity in Coptic Legal Documents
Authors: Schenke Gesa
Published: December 2016

A group of 8th century Coptic child donation documents addressed to the monastery of Apa Phoibammon on the mountain of Jeme in Upper Egypt has been the subject of much discussion. The exclusively male children donated by their parents have always been understood as gifts to the monastery itself, a place where they were, however, not intended to grow up as monks, but to remain as lifelong servants. The reason stated for these donations were miracle healings granted by Apa Phoibammon, the patron saint of that monastery, in his local healing shrine. Such donations of cured former patients are a common feature especially to shrines of healing saints as demonstrated by their frequent descriptions in miracle stories circulating widely in the early Arab period. Juxtaposing phrases used in these Coptic legal texts with those from miracle stories of famous Egyptian healing saints, such as Coluthus, Menas, and Phoibammon himself, can demonstrate the impact hagiography had on daily experience and vice versa. The documentary evidence from Jeme thus forms the missing link between hagiography and reality as it emphasizes the practicalities involved when people were donated as living testimonies of a saint’s miraculous healing power. Due to the desire to legalize such donations, a written contract could only have been drawn up with the saint’s legal representative, in this case the abbot of the monastery at Jeme, who ran the healing shrine of Apa Phoibammon where the donated children would serve.

Published: December 2016

The choice of first-line treatment for metastatic pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (mP-NET) is mainly based on prognostic factors. ENETS-2016 guidelines stratified treatment according to 3 groups: Group 1, patients in whom all lesions could be removed; Group 2, patients with Ki67 <10%, low tumor burden, no symptoms and stable disease, for whom a watch-and-wait strategy or somatostatin analogs are proposed; Group 3, symptomatic patients or with Ki67 >10% or significant tumor burden or progressive disease, for whom a systemic chemotherapy is proposed. This retrospective study aimed to determine patient distribution, characteristics and outcome among these 3 groups. Patients with mP-NET diagnosis from 2004 to 2016 were categorized into the three groups. Prognosis was calculated using the Kaplan–Meier method. All treatments were recorded, and consistency with ENETS guidelines was explored. 104 patients were analyzed: 64% synchronous mP-NET, 80% grade 2 tumors and median overall survival (OS) of 104 (95% CI: 65–143) months. There were 15 patients in ENETS Group 1, 16 in Group 2 and 73 in Group 3. Median OS was not reached in Groups 1 and 2 and was 64 months (35–93) in Group 3. High liver tumor volume, high-grade tumor and progressive disease were associated with worse OS in multivariate analysis. The first-line treatment was in accordance with guidelines in 82%. 77% percent of deceased patients received less than 4 lines of treatment. Most patients are in Group 3 and do not receive all available treatments. Thus, trials are warranted to improve first-line chemotherapy. Alternative treatments may be considered for less aggressive disease.

Published: December 2016

We report results of an ichthyological survey of the Lower Urubamba river, a tributary of the Ucayali river located in the southwestern portion of the Amazon Basin in southeastern Peru. Collections were made at low water (July, 2009) from 280 - 310 m elevation, near the town of Sepahua within the Fitzcarrald Arch, an upland associated with Pliocene (c. 4 Ma) uplift of the Peruvian Andes. This is the second of four planned expeditions to the region with the goal of comparing ichthyofaunas across the headwaters of the largest tributary basins in the western Amazon (Juruá, Ucayali, Purús and Madre de Dios). Twenty-one sites were sampled using seine nets, hook lines, cast nets and dip nets. A total of 98 species in 22 families and eight orders were captured and identified. The most diverse families are Characidae (40 spp.) and Loricariidae (20 spp.), and 12 families are represented by a single species. These data suggest that the fish fauna of the Lower Urubamba river near Sepahua is distinct from, and less diverse than, adjacent areas of lowland Amazonia.

O que mais contribui para a formação dos iniciantes são as partilhas e trocas de ideias e experiências com os colegas professores. Tais aspectos permitem considerar a escola como espaço de formação por ser constituidor de saberes e fazeres docentes.

Authors: Nolasco Talmir Ribeiro , De Andrade Sonia Maria Oliveira , Da Silva Baldomero Antônio Kato
Published: December 2016

A violência no trânsito é um crescente problema para a saúde pública no mundo, pois seus danos têm como consequências além da mortalidade, as incapacidades deixadas pelo trauma e a sobrecarga no sistema de saúde. Campo Grande é a sétima capital brasileira com maior violência no trânsito, o que motivou o presente estudo, que teve por objetivo avaliar a capacidade funcional de vítimas de acidentes de trânsito. Participaram da pesquisa 100 pacientes vítimas de acidentes de trânsito, internados no setor de ortopedia da Sociedade Beneficente de Campo Grande - SantaCasa e foram utilizadas as escalas de atividades de vida diária - AVD, de atividades instrumentais de vida diária - AIVD, escala de trauma para avaliação da dor e retorno ao trabalho. A avaliação da capacidade funcional permitiu identificar que a totalidade dos indivíduos apresentou dependência funcional ou parcial total no pós-trauma e a maioria ficou incapaz de retornar ao trabalho que exercia anteriormente ao evento traumático, privando-se de realizar tarefas que faziam sem restrições, o que impacta negativamente a saúde e a vida dessas pessoas e de seus familiares.

Published: December 2016

Ao nascerem, os bebês têm como tarefa primordial a adaptação ao universo extrauterino, contando apenas com recursos senso-perceptivos. O meio, principalmente pela mãe, assume a tarefa de proporcionar os estímulos necessários para o processo de desenvolvimento iniciado no meio intrauterino. Este artigo apresenta uma análise da literatura existente sobre a importância da interação mãe-bebê dentro da visão psicanalítica, passando pela identificação dessa e constatando os benefícios e prejuízos na qualidade dessa interação para o desenvolvimento saudável da criança. Tratou-se de um estudo de revisão da literatura nacional, por meio da base de dados Scielo.org e Google Acadêmico. Nos resultados há um consenso entre a maioria dos autores quanto à importância da interação mãe-bebê para o desenvolvimento global da criança. Os autores apontam a necessidade de pesquisas e desenvolvimento de estratégias para suprir a ausência ou as deficiências na interação, enfatizando o caráter profilático das intervenções desde o planejamento da gravidez.

Public Debt and Sustainable National Development in Nigeria: Analysis of Fundamental Issues
Authors: Okeke Remi Chukwudi , Idike Adeline N.
Published: December 2016

This study raises some fundamental issues in the relationship between public debt and sustainable national development in Nigeria. The work is significant in highlighting the position of public debt in the subject area of public administration. The study finds a very weak linkage between public debt and sustainable national development in the Nigerian state. The theoretical framework of the investigation is the bureaucratic theory. The work finds that the bureaucracy is as guilty as the politician in the country, in the transmutation of public debt into a brand of national bazaar. It is finally recommended in the paper that taxation-increases be adopted as alternative to public debt, in ensuring that the current generation of the country’s citizens, in meeting their immediate needs do not invariably endanger the capacity of future generations in the same regards.

Desconstruindo o “oposicionismo nato” do movimento estudantil: os estudantes de direita (1960-1970) * Deconstructing the “opposition by birth” of the student movement: the right-wing students (1960-1970)
Authors: Silva Gustavo Bianch
Published: December 2016

O objetivo deste artigo é abordar a questão atuação dos estudantes de direita no movimento estudantil. A mobilização do movimento nas universidades oscilou entre o ativismo em prol das mudanças educacionais e a luta por questões políticas de cunho mais gerais e estruturais. Porém, muitos estudantes enfrentaram a militância de esquerda e empenharam-se na articulação de outras propostas para a universidade, sobretudo influenciadas pelas ideias liberais. A finalidade desse texto é compreender o perfil dos grupos que questionaram os valores da esquerda participaram do movimento estudantil na ditadura militar. Quais as principais ações empreendidas por esses estudantes? Para problematizar essa questão, recorremos à historiografia para analisar a influência da direita entre os estudantes.
Anticomunismo, democracia e reformas: a mobilização das direitas na Câmara dos Deputados (1961-1965) * Anticommunism, democracy and reforms: the right-wing mobilization in the House of Representatives (1961-1965)

Published: December 2016

A Ação Democrática Parlamentar (ADP) foi uma frente suprapartidária que reuniu grande parte dos políticos de direita da Câmara dos Deputados. Criada ainda no governo Jânio Quadros para combater o “perigo vermelho” no Brasil, a ADP configurou uma grande aliança conservadora contra as esquerdas e os movimentos sociais, que pareciam avançar perigosamente na década de 1960. Com uma postura avessa a reformas sociais e que colocava a manutenção da ordem acima das garantias democráticas, seus dirigentes desempenharam um importante papel na radicalização política que conduziu ao movimento civil-militar de 1964 e à instalação de um regime autoritário no país.
Notas sobre a formação do autoritarismo no Chile: pensamento político na década de 1900 * Notes on the formation of authoritarianism in Chile: political thought in the 1900s
Authors: Silva Thiago Ernesto Possiede
Published: December 2016

Este artigo busca compreender a formação do autoritarismo no Chile a partir de ideias e elementos que entraram em circulação por meio de intelectuais alinhados com o pensamento conservador. Nacionalismo, antiliberalismo e teorias raciais foram componentes na gestação de conjuntos de ideias que estiveram em constante trânsito nos conflitos entre os grupos de direita e entre os grupos dirigentes e a classe trabalhadora na primeira década do século XX, cujos desdobramentos específicos estiveram presentes em algumas publicações de intelectuais chilenos daquele contexto.
Delio Cantimori: escritos políticos sobre a Alemanha (1927 – 1940) * Delio Cantimori: political writings about Germany (1927 – 1940)
Authors: Xavier Felipe Araujo
Published: December 2016

Esse artigo tem como objetivo abordar os escritos políticos de Delio Cantimori (1904-1966), entre 1927 e 1940, relativos à situação política e cultural alemã, enfatizando suas leituras sobre a Konservative Revolution e o nacional-socialismo. Baseado nesses escritos, o artigo pretende apresentar também como a consolidação do Nazismo interferiu no desequilíbrio político do continente europeu e na reinterpretação cantimoriana do fascismo, regime o qual, para o intelectual italiano, perdia sua áurea revolucionaria ao se distanciar dos ideais corporativistas, implantar uma política militarista expansionista e aderir os princípios irracionalistas e racistas do nazismo. Esses fatores interferiram diretamente na dissidência de Cantimori, em meados da década de 1930, quando começava a desenvolver uma simpatia particular ao projeto político comunista.
O integralismo e as mensagens comoventes na imprensa militante: a novela, a profecia e a morte * The brazilian integralism and emotional messages: the feuilleton, the prophecy and the death
Authors: Athaides Rafael
Published: December 2016

O presente artigo analisa as manifestações discursivas de militantes da Ação Integralista Brasileira em torno do universo afetivo, mais especificamente, o uso de mensagens comoventes por meio dos periódicos do movimento na década de 1930. Para tanto, o estudo elegeu três diferentes manifestações de mensagens comoventes para a análise, no intuito de ilustrar as estratégias pelas quais os jornalistas do fascismo brasileiro almejavam insuflar as emoções de seus militantes e/ou de potenciais novos adeptos. A primeira delas é uma narrativa em forma de novela, que versa sobre a conversão de um sertanejo ao movimento integralista; a segunda, uma descrição espetacular de um evento ‘sobrenatural’, envolvendo o ente metafísico máximo dos fascismos, a nação; por fim, a terceira compreende um conjunto de narrativas produzidas em torno de práticas ritualísticas da AIB ligadas à morte. Utilizou-se, para tanto, o jornal integralista curitibano A Razão, de 1935, além de pequenos excertos do jornal nacional da AIB, A Offensiva de 1934 a 1937.
Consumo e conservadorismo: uma análise da propaganda brasileira durante a ditadura militar * Consumption and conservatism: an analysis about brazilian advertising under military dictatorship
Authors: Castro Netto David Antonio de
Published: December 2016

O projeto conservador no qual se sustentou a ditadura militar brasileira vai além da questão da violência física. Este projeto também pode ser observado nos ideais que pautaram a visão da ditadura a respeito do “homem brasileiro” e da “sociedade brasileira”. Via Escola Superior de Guerra, foi elaborado um conjunto de características que seriam as adequadas para a formação do “brasileiro ideal”. A defesa destes valores demonstra a contradição que acompanhou toda a ditadura militar brasileira: por um lado, uma preocupação com a modernização técnica e, por outro, uma tentativa de lutar contra esta mesma modernização, no que diz respeito ao âmbito das relações sociais. O objetivo deste artigo será analisar como os anúncios veiculados na televisão dialogam com esta contradição. Para a confecção do texto serão utilizados os Manuais da ESG (1976 e 1983) e os anúncios veiculados na televisão.
A white men’s agony: the rise and fall of the Reagan coalition through the perspective of american scholars (1940-2016) * A agonia do homem branco: a ascensão e queda da coalizão Reagan através da perspectiva dos intelectuais norte-americanos (1940-2016)
Authors: Biaseto Bruno Henz
Published: December 2016

The American Conservative movement saw a huge rise following Reagan’s ascent to the residency. The Reagan Coalition managed to make the Republican Party the dominating force for almost thirty years, empowering certain social groups that supported its rise since its beginning, during the New Deal era. Following deep economic and social changes seen in the early 21st century, Barack Obama managed to craft a new political coalition, one that managed to end the Republican dominance. As the Democrats were able to craft a new coalition, the answer came in the rise of an authoritarian/populist right embodied by Donald Trump and the Tea Party. The goal of this essay is to understand this political process through the lens of American scholars, focusing on their analysis of how the rise and fall of the Reagan Revolution shaped the troubled political scenario seen in America today.

A segunda fase foi iniciada em 2013 e engloba as usinas da EMAE, da CPFL e de algumas pequenas concessionárias, construídas entre 1890 e 1960. O autor discorre também sobre as áreas de pesquisa abrangidas no Projeto - história da tecnologia, patrimônio industrial, museologia, geogra_ia, arquivologia e biblioteconomia - para depois esboçar um breve panorama histórico do processo.
A cicatriz da serra: reflexões sobre as adutoras da Usina de Cubatão
Authors: Santos Gabriel Carlos de Souza
Published: December 2016

A Usina de Cubatão foi inaugurada em 1926 e era, à época, a maior hidroelétrica do país. Representou um enorme empreendimento industrial, o qual requeria o intenso uso de mão-de-obra. A partir de 1930, essa mão-de-obra passou a habitar a Vila Light, vila operária criada no entorno da usina para abrigar funcionários e suas famílias. O presente artigo pretende discutir um elemento em específico dessa usina, a saber, suas adutoras. O objetivo central é discutir o estabelecimento destas na paisagem cubatense e seu papel na alteração da visualidade e na criação de uma identidade comunitária da Vila Light. Assim, como se pretende demonstrar, as adutoras se inserem como marco simbólico, visual e material do enfrentamento do homem à Serra do Mar, elemento natural de grande importância para a constituição de Cubatão, e representam a complexa relação entre indústria e natureza no município.
A construção de uma das pioneiras usinas hidrelétricas paulistas: Itatinga
Authors: Castilho Ana Luisa Howard de , Gonçalves Itamar Barbosa
Published: December 2016

As motivações e os desafios tecnológicos que promoveram a construção da usina hidrelétrica de Itatinga e sua viabilidade na região de Bertioga [SP] foram muitos. A participação constante do Eng. Weinschenck e suas anotações, no período de 1903 até 1914, contribuíram para que a memória de sua construção pudesse ser resgatada. Também a existência de uma vila operária assegurou a permanência da maioria dos funcionários e suas famílias em Itatinga por muitos anos. A Usina passou por dois grandes processos de modernização tecnológica e permanece gerando energia até os nossos dias.
