The article describes the threat posed by deposits harmful to the proper functioning of spark ignition engines. The areas of indirect and direct injection engines where the most dangerous deposits form are indicated. The factors having significant influence on the occurrence of this unfavourable phenomenon were collected and analyzed. Consequently, a simplified classification of factors influencing the formation of harmful deposits in direct and indirect injection spark ignition engines was made. In the research part of the project, a comparative study of the tendency of gasolines of different composition and physicochemical properties to form deposits was carried out. The criterion for evaluating the detergent properties of gasolines was the tendency to form deposits on intake valves in the case of indirect injection engine and on the injector in the case of direct injection engine. For this purpose, the previously widely used test procedure CEC F-05-93 relating to deposits formed on intake valves in SI indirect injection engines and the latest test procedure CEC F-113-KC relating to the most harmful deposits formed in injectors of DISI (Direct Injection Spark Ignition) engines were used. The purpose of the comparative study conducted was to determine if there was any relatively simple, identifiable relationship between the results of gasoline detergent property evaluations obtained at engine test sites differing in test engine generations, methods of conducting the evaluations, and type of engine deposits formed. As a result, no correlations were found between the testable engine sludge tendency results obtained from tests using the CEC F-05-93 and CEC F-113-KC procedures. Therefore, knowing the evaluation of gasoline conducted according to one of the above mentioned test procedures, one cannot conclude, predict or estimate the evaluation that will be obtained according to the other test procedure. Therefore, the results obtained according to one of the procedures do not allow extrapolation and evaluation of gasoline in terms of tendency to form harmful engine deposits according to the other procedure.

The management of fishing fleets is an important factor in the sustainable exploitation of marine organisms for human consumption. Therefore, regulatory services monitor catches and limit them based on data. In this paper, we analyze North Atlantic Fishing Organization (NAFO) data on North Atlantic catches to direct the effectiveness of fishing stakeholders. Data on fishing time (month and year), equipment, location, type of catch, and, for us, the most interesting, data on the fishing effort are given, and their quality is analyzed. In the last part, The Principal Component Analysis for individual activities, among which fishing stakeholders can decide, is performed on a selected data sample. The complexity of the connections between the set of observed activities is explained by new uncorrelated variables - principal components - that are important for achieving the expected fishing catch. We find that the proportions of variance explained by the individual principal components are low, which indicates the high complexity of the topic discussed.

Since the European Commission launched the Circular Economy Package in December 2015 named “Closing the loop: EU Action Plan for the Circular Economy”, many changes are expected both in European Union economy as well as in the Member States’ national economies. Due to new Package, a transposition of legislation is required as well as adjusting the business climate and citizens’ habits in order to fully implement the Package and experience the benefits of Circular Economy in Europe. The transition to a new economy pattern Commission perceived as essential due to new economic, global and environmental challenges. Assessing the waste management, the data showed that some member states already recycle almost 80 % of waste, while others are far away from achieving the Europe 2020 Strategy goals, including Croatia. The Circular Economy Package is nowadays part of EU Green Deal, one of the highest ranked strategic documents, which emphasizes the need for efficient use of resources by transition to the clean circular economy approach as well as to renew the biodiversity and to decrease the pollution. The authors analyse legislative framework and trends in green economy, with special attention on Croatia, and Primorje-Gorski Kotar county. This paper emphasizes the significance of the Circular Economy and its benefits and present the policy implementation capacities on the national and regional level to implement the circular approach to economic process.

The situation we are experiencing on a global level and in the domestic environment confirms long-standing warnings that human and planetary survival requires radical changes in the way we think and respond to the demanding problems and challenges of today's society. The COVID19 epidemic has further exacerbated the deterioration. There is too much intolerance, even towards those who, in their moral and professional obligation to humanity and the medical profession, risk their own lives to save the lives and health of others. As social and personal hardships intensify, the dark forces of human character accumulate and destroy interpersonal and social relationships. Due to the increasingly serious consequences, such as psychological and physical violence, discrimination and exclusion in the workplace, a comprehensive and inclusive (integrated, integrative) model of an inclusive and safe work environment is being established worldwide. Inclusive practices have a positive effect on productivity by improving organizational climate and employee motivation, commitment and adherence to business ethics and values of the organization, while reducing turnover and risk of deviance. Therefore, they are often mentioned as the starting point for integrated and connected, integrated business, applicable business ethics and integrity, sustainable social responsibility, and achieving sustainable development goals in the era of new technologies and Industry 4.0. Thus, as part of a tertiary research project, in January 2020 we organised a seminar with a workshop for UKCL employees on a friendly, inclusive and safe working environment. The findings and conclusions are presented in this paper.
Digitalni dvojčki v ergonomskih ureditvah delovnih mest

Published: May 2021

t The approach to designing assembly lines and jobs in the modern world of Industry 4.0 is still too spontaneous. If we want to create a user-friendly workplace, it is necessary to include a myriad of variables with all the ergonomic principles. It is necessary to get involved in the process of progressive and holistic job design already in the phase of product design and the process of production and job design. Inadequate job planning can cause downtime in workflow engineering. If we want to be more efficient in product design, then we need to use the good experience of using digital twins. The experience of these and similar planning can be used for the preliminary design of a virtual workplace, where we can simulate the workload of employees, identify overloads and eliminate them already in the design phase. In this way, we are taking a big step towards streamlining jobs. In doing so, we avoid ergonomic slips, which are difficult to repair later. We are helped by modern tools, such as Tecnomatix JACK, ViveLab Ergo, NAWO ergo simulation, ..., with which we can generate, optimize, rationalize and implement a virtual solution in the marginal framework of a real solution.

Published: May 2021

Linear assets are defined as assets whose length plays a critical role in their maintenance Linear asset owners strive to optimize the value and performance of each asset throughout its lifecycle while meeting all of safety, reliability, quality, performance, and regulatory compliance requirements... A case study is used to present the implementation of linear asset management practices for overhead transmission lines (OHTL). More specifically, the purpose of this paper is to propose an Asset Health Index (AHI) for OHTL using a condition-based method and discuss some other monitoring methods (e.g., robot LineVue with non-destructive in-situ inspection technology for conductors and an integral online approach to ensure tower and conductor integrity - OTLM device and strain gauges). In addition, various issues, and challenges for managing linear assets are also discussed.

For several decades, we are witnessing the exchange of e-invoices. In Slovenia e-invoicing started in 2001 with the project “Electronic commerce of Slovenian enterprises”. The result of this project was standard named eSLOG. Furthermore, the advanced e-invoicing ecosystem was established which enabled enterprises to more easily exchange e-invoices. Moreover, since January 2015, all budget users can only receive e-invoices, which contributed to a larger share of e-invoicing. Despite all these incentives, data from the Statistical Office of the Republic of Slovenia from 2019 show that only 58% of the observed companies have exchange e-invoices in a form suitable for automated processing and more than half of these companies have sent less than 10% of these type of e-invoices. In order to determine the current state of use of e-invoices, the advantages and obstacles as well as what incentives are needed to expand the use of e-invoices, a survey among Slovenian companies was conducted in autumn 2020.

The paper addresses the problem of efficient organization of the registration process to assure short queues and waiting times at the registration of participants at the conference event. A simulation model of the participants’ registration in an educational event was developed using AnyLogic PLE software. Data was collected from a particular event in 2019. Based on the developed simulation model, an appropriate allocation of registration points at three different entrances was defined to assure short queues. The model was developed for a specific venue - Cankarjev dom, and can be used for other events at this venue as well. With specific adaptations, the model can be used in the time of COVID -19 pandemics, as it allows simulating the process taking into account the proposed social distance.
Are Meetings Our Collective Value: Multiple Intelligent Approach to Leading Meetings: Matter od Strategy, Not Only Operation?
Authors: Peterlin Judita , Dimovski Vlado
Published: May 2021

Meetings are part of everyday life of managers. Unfortunately, often too little attention is dedicated to them, therefore the paper addresses the role of the meetings in avoiding the threats to cross-group collaboration of different departments. The paper emphasizes collaboration blind spot which happens when managers do not do the first step in collaboration implementation correctly which is identifying the potential threats each group involved in the potential collaboration might feel. People often feel potential collaboration as a threat to their identity and legitimacy of their existing group and therefore act defensively or even avoid collaboration. We position meetings as a key element of organizational culture which needs to be professionaly managed and address them as a strategical tool for achieving organizational success in an efficient way.

Published: May 2021

Political dynamics in the European Union since 2015 have been strongly marked by the refugee or migrant crisis which has polarized the political arena and triggered an intense political debate which has produced various theses on the causes, nature and consequences of this crisis. In this contribution we substantiate the need for a new approach to modeling of migrations and present the state of our research and development of an international migrations flow model focused on the Balkans. The approach used represents the integration of knowledge and findings from the social sciences and natural sciences which in our view represents an optimal framework for understanding migration processes. We argue that complex social phenomena, such as migration, are in themselves interdisciplinary problems, requiring a multidisciplinary approach and the integration of all relevant influencing factors in the decisions of migrants. This approach will allow modeling of migration flows based on a realistic geopolitical model and the modeling of decisionmaking processes of individuals and groups in migration processes.
Why is the Standardization of Telehealth Services Important in the Context of Digital Health Strategies, Especially During the Covid-19 Epidemic?
Authors: Samar Brenčič Neja , Fisk Malcolm
Published: May 2021

In order to ensure that the quality of telehealth services is adequate, the use of standards is indispensable. Telehealth offers remote monitoring and embraces those aspects of telemedicine where communication takes place directly with patients. Both come within the broader frame of reference that is offered by the term digital health. However, there are relatively few standards for services in the field of digital health. This means that standardization institutions and user associations should work together in the development of appropriate standards. Those standards that do exist are of variable quality and only sometimes utilized. However, in a context of rapid changes in technologies and service configurations, they will carry increasing importance within health strategies and practice frameworks; and will be in need of greater enforcement. In this paper, we will emphasise the importance of standards for remote health support and medical treatment. We will offer some examples of standards relating to digital health in European and internationally. We offer definitions for remote health service provision that relate, in particular, to the needs of older people; and set out some of the benefits of standardization of telehealth and telemedicine services within eHealth strategies.

The purpose of the article is a theoretical and empirical analysis of the job insecurity due its influence on the employee job attitudes. Design. The design of the study was longitudinal. The empirical results were collected in 2018–2019. The empirical basis of the research is the separate structural department of the bank. The organization has realized downsizing project during the collection of empirical data. It has made possible to analyze the job satisfaction and work engagement before, during and after the downsizing project. The measures used in the present study are: 1) the “Utrecht Work Engagement Scale”; 2) “Brief Job Satisfaction Measure; 3) “The Job Insecurity Scale”. An empirical analysis of the dynamics of job attitudes in the groups differ in age and gender has found out a short-term motivating effect of the threat of job loss. The motivating effect of the threat of job loss is lost during six months. The most significance motivating effect was wound out in within the group of ordinary employees in the senior category over 45 years. The threat of dismissal also has the greatest impact on the behavior change of that part of the staff that is most susceptible to experiencing job insecurity. The employees who perceived the job insecurity are more satisfied with their work and value it more highly.

Macroscopic nonlocal correlations of random dissipative processes manifest at extremely low frequencies, meaning that observing them involves long-term experiments that maintain highly stable conditions in the detectors. This motivated the Baikal experiment, which investigates correlations between helio-geophysical processes featuring a high random component and test random processes in the detectors installed at various depths in the lake and at a remote land observatory. In the latest year-long experiment series, we focused on the data coming from the bottom detector, the one best protected from classical local interference. The results confirm that correlation with solar activity dominates the detector signal and, at the same time, it is easy to distinguish a forward correlation with thermodynamic activity in the upper active layer of Lake Baikal. The presence of this significant forward nonlocal correlation made it possible to simulate a realistic forecast of the active layer temperature a month ahead. We also detected an unusual diurnal variation in the relatively short-period spectrum of deep-water detector signals, presumably associated with the reemission of solar radiation by the Earth surface

Developing high-velocity atmospheric aircraft equipped with ramjet engines, which use atmospheric air as the oxidizer, is an important component of aerospace technology prospects. These craft may be employed to quickly deliver payloads over intercontinental distances and as boosters for spacecraft injection into orbit. A characteristic feature of high-velocity atmospheric aircraft is a presence of sharp aerofoil edges subjected to highly oxidative airflow. This means that actual implementation of numerous hypersonic atmospheric aircraft projects largely depends on whether it is possible to develop materials that could remain stable in an oxidative atmosphere at temperatures of 2000--2500 °C. We estimated the thermal state of a structural component in the shape of a blunted wedge made out of promising refractory ceramics under flight conditions at an altitude of 22 km and a velocity of Mach 7
Control of the stroke of hydraulic cylinders in hydraulic lifting mechanisms of installation equipment
Authors: Novozhilov B.M.
Published: May 2021

For the correct operation of hydraulic lifting mechanisms of the installation equipment of rocket and space complexes, it is necessary to ensure the synchronous movement of the rods of hydraulic power cylinders operating in parallel when performing working operations. Therefore, the urgent task is to develop synchronization systems that, along with ensuring the consistency of travel speeds, also provide the consistency of the mutual position of hydraulic cylinder rods. To solve this problem, we introduce a new approach which makes use of indirect methods for determining the working stroke of hydraulic power cylinders according to the results of measuring the angular or linear coordinates of the power elements of the mechanism. The first method is based on measuring the angular coordinates of the power elements of the lifting mechanism using angular displacement sensors - angular encoders. As for the second method, it relies on measuring the stroke of an additional link of variable length by means of magnetostrictive and cable linear position sensors. The paper briefly describes the device and the principle of operation of the sensors, and gives recommendations for the construction of measuring transducers as part of the lifting mechanism of the installation equipment. The new approach to solving the problem of controlling the stroke of hydraulic power cylinders in lifting mechanisms can be used in the development of advanced installation equipment for launch vehicles of heavy and superheavy classes.

Implementing an Evidence-Based Bundle to Reduce Early Labor Admissions and Increase Adherence to Labor Arrest Guidelines: A Quality Improvement Initiative
Authors: Telfer Michelle , Illuzzi Jessica , Jolles Diana
Published: May 2021

Background

At many hospitals, the cesarean birth rate among nulliparous term singleton vertex (NTSV) pregnancies is higher than World Health Organization benchmarks. Reducing NTSV cesarean birth is a national quality imperative. The aim of this initiative was to implement an evidence-based bundle at an urban community teaching hospital in at least 50% of labors in 60 days in order to reduce early labor admissions and increase adherence to evidence-based labor management guidelines shown to decrease cesarean birth.

Methods

Chart audits, root-cause analysis, and staff engagement informed bundle development. An early labor triage guide, labor walking path, partograph, and pre-cesarean checklist were implemented to drive change. Four Rapid Cycle Plan Do Study Act cycles were conducted over 8 weeks.

Results

The bundle was implemented in 58% of births. The bundle reduced early labor admissions labor from 41% to 25%. Team knowledge reflecting current guidelines in labor management increased 35% and 100% of cesareans for labor arrest met criteria. Patient satisfaction scores exceeded 98%.

Conclusions

Implementing an evidenced-based bundle was effective in reducing early labor admissions and increasing utilization of and adherence to labor management guidelines.

Implications for Nursing

Implementation of evidence-based bundles has the potential to achieve meaningful quality improvements in maternity care.

Climate Change and Air Pollution
Authors: Akasha Heba , Ghaffarpasand Omid , Pope Francis
Published: May 2021

This rapid literature review explores the interactions between climate change and air pollution, with a focus on human health impacts. In particular, the report explores potential synergies in tackling climate change and air pollution together. The impacts and implications of the transition from a carbon-intensive economy upon air quality and consequently human health are examined. Discussing climate change without air pollution can lead to risks. For example, strategies that focus on electrification and transition to renewable energy achieve maximum health and air quality benefits compared to strategies that focus mainly on combustible renewable fuels (biofuel and biomass) with some electrification. Addressing climate change necessitates a shift towards a new low carbon era. This involves stringent and innovative changes in behaviour, technology, and policy. There are distinct benefits of considering climate change and air pollution together. Many of the processes that cause climate change also cause air pollution, and hence reductions in these processes will generate cleaner air and less global warming. Politically, the consideration of the two issues in tandem can be beneficial because of the time-inconsistency problems of climate change. Air pollution improvements can offer politicians victories, on a useful timescale, to help in their aims of reversing climate change. By coupling air pollution and air pollution agendas together, it will increase the media and political attention both environmental causes receive. Policies should involve the integration of climate change, air quality, and health benefits to create win-win situations. The success of the strategies requires financial and technical capacity building, commitment, transparency, and multidisciplinary collaboration, including governance stakeholders at multiple levels, in both a top-down and bottom-up manner.
Vernacular Resilience: An Approach to Studying Long-Term Social Practices and Cultural Repertoires of Resilience in Côte d’Ivoire and the Democratic Republic of Congo
Authors: Wandji Dieunedort , Allouche Jeremy , Marchais Gauthier
Published: May 2021

This working paper aims to situate our research project within the various debates around resilience. It advocates a historical, cultural and plural approach to understanding how communities develop and share resilient practices in contexts of multiple and protracted crises. A focus on ‘vernacular’ resilience, as embedded in social practices and cultural repertoires, is important since conventional approaches to resilience seem to have overlooked how locally embedded forms of resilience are socially constructed historically. Our approach results from a combination of two observations. Firstly, conventional approaches to resilience in development, humanitarian and peace studies carry the limitations of their own epistemic assumptions – notably the fact that they have generic conceptions of what constitutes resilience. Secondly, these approaches are often ahistorical and neglect the temporal and intergenerational dimensions of repertoires of resilience. In addition to observable social practices, culture and history are crucial in understanding the ways in which vernacular and networked knowledge operates.
Utilitas y voluptas en el De vero bono de Lorenzo Valla
Authors: Vilar Mariano Alejandro
Published: May 2021

In his dialogue De vero bono, Lorenzo Valla (c. 1407-1457) aims to the thinking on pleasure (voluptas) and convenience (utilitas) as two inseparable aspects of an ethics based on the earthly human concerns. These two concepts are opposed to the honestas propter se, that is, the Stoic ideal of virtue as an end itself that should be pursued regardless of anything. In this paper we explore the interaction between the terms of this opposition considering ancient and medieval sources and how this operates in different passages of the De vero bono. Specifically, we will focus on the ways in which the voluptas-utilitas / honestas opposition is related to that of Agustin of Hippo’s (354-430) between uti / frui. By comparing them we will examine how in his dialogue Valla stages tensions between conceptions of ethics based on one side on earthly concerns and on the other on the Christian dogma.

Published: May 2021

Une épizootie de pasteurellose s'est déclenchée dans un élevage semi-intensif de lapins (200 animaux) de race locale, à Thiès (ENSA) au Sénégal, pendant la saison des pluies 1995 (août à octobre). L'épizootie a provoqué la mort de 87 animaux. Les jeunes ont été particulièrement touchés par l'affection. Des symptômes tels que jetage, conjonctivite, perte de l'oeil, otite moyenne et interne étaient observés chez les lapereaux tandis que les adultes manifestaient de la parésie postérieure. Pasteurella multocida, Klebsiella pneumoniae et Pseudomonas aerogenes ont été identifiés. Un antibiogramme a révélé une sensibilité de ces germes au chloramphénicol, à l'association sulfaméthoxazole/triméthoprime et à la colistine. Les températures et l'humidité élevées caractérisant la saison des pluies semblent avoir favorisé l'apparition de la maladie à partir de porteurs sains issus du noyau fondateur de l'élevage. Un traitement à la colistine et au chloramphénicol a été instauré avant une vaccination de tous les animaux contre la pasteurellose.

L'objet de cette enquête était d'examiner l'incidence des virus de la grippe équine dans une population d'équidés d'Afrique tropicale où des foyers de grippe équine ont été récemment reportés pour la première fois. Une enquête sérologique à partir de sérums de chevaux et d'ânes de plusieurs régions du Nigéria, prélevés de 1990 à 1993, a été effectuée et les résultats obtenus ont été comparés avec des sérums provenant d'Irlande. La présence des anticorps a été testée à la fois par le test d'inhibition de l'hémagglutination et par le test ELISA en utilisant un anticorps monoclonal au prototype H3 du virus de la grippe équine, Aequine/Miami/1/63. Les résultats ont montré que la grippe équine était présente chez les chevaux et les ânes de toutes les régions du Nigéria.

Une enquête sur la trypanosomose chez les chèvres, les moutons et les porcs a été réalisée dans le comté de Buikwe, district de Mukono en Ouganda du Sud-Est d'avril à août 1994. Des taux d'infection de 8,8 % chez 204 chèvres, 26,7 % chez 60 moutons, et 32,4 % chez 68 porcs de tous âges et des deux sexes ont été enregistrés. Trypanosoma brucei a été détecté chez les chèvres et les porcs, T. congolense chez les moutons et les porcs, et T. vivax chez les chèvres et les moutons. Les taux d'infection étaient semblables pour les deux sexes des espèces animales. Il a été observé que T. vivax causait de hauts niveaux de parasitémie, tandis que les infections à T. brucei étaient associées à de très bas niveaux de parasitémie. Les infections dues à T. brucei étaient à l'origine de 66,7 % de toutes les infections chez les chèvres et 30 % chez les porcs. Il est émis l'hypothèse que certains de ces T. brucei pourraient être T. b. rhodesiense, l'agent responsable de la maladie du sommeil dans cette région.

L'infection expérimentale de trois races de mouton du Nigéria, les moutons Djallonké, Yankasa et Oudah, provoqua la maladie mortelle causée par la souche Zinga du virus de la fièvre de la Vallée du Rift. Cette infection caractérisée par une hyperactivité, des écoulements nasaux séro-muqueux, une diarrhée sanglante et très liquide, une hémorragie externe et des manifestations cliniques de troubles nerveux. La virémie fut suivie d'un faible taux de développement des anticorps chez tous les moutons infectés. Les transformations hématologiques comportèrent une forte baisse de l'hématocrite, de la concentration d'hémoglobine et du taux des globules rouges pendant l'évolution de la maladie. Les transformations dans les composants biochimiques du sérum comportèrent une forte augmentation progressive du niveau de l'alanine aminotransférase et de l'aspartate aminotransférase. Les taux de sodium baissèrent graduellement, mais ceux de potassium, bien que stables au début, augmentèrent par la suite jusqu'à la mort des animaux infectés. Il y eut une augmentation importante de l'azote uréique à partir du 3ème jour p.i. qui se poursuivit jusqu'à la mort des animaux infectés. L'examen macroscopique et microscopique des carcasses a montré des lésions importantes dans beaucoup d'organes, y compris des coagulations intravasculaires disséminées.

Published: May 2021

O objetivo do presente trabalho consiste em apresentar uma revisão de escopo da literatura disponível sobre a interseção dos estudos que abordam gênero e religião. A partir da técnica de revisão de escopo, foi realizada uma seleção da produção científica publicada em periódicos avaliados pelo sistema Qualis/CAPES. Foram levantados, assim, 33 artigos que abordavam a temática, os quais foram categorizados pelo seu periódico de origem, área temática pesquisada, metodologia e autoria. A partir da leitura, pudemos verificar as diferentes abordagens e técnicas metodológicas no sentido de compreender as diversas relações produzidas entre as concepções de gênero e religião. As multiplicidades de temáticas encontradas apresentam a possibilidade de crescimento e aprofundamento deste campo teórico.

O presente artigo focaliza experiências de conversão em uma comunidade terapêutica religiosa feminina (CTR) localizada na cidade de Campos dos Goytacazes, Rio de Janeiro. A pesquisa foi realizada com mulheres em tratamento contra a dependência química, entrevistadas entre os anos de 2016 e 2018, que relataram nas situações de entrevistas as suas experiências de conversão religiosa. Também foram realizadas observações de campo e entrevistas feitas com as líderes da CTR. Os dados das entrevistas nos mostram que a conversão representa, no âmbito desta CTR, uma etapa de extrema importância para a realização do tratamento proposto.
Trançado
Authors: Paiva Andréa Lúcia da Silva de
Published: May 2021

Este artigo descreve memórias e devoções negras em festividades no Brasil, através da observação participante e da análise comparativa. Desta forma, buscamos pensar a festa de Nossa Senhora do Rosário realizada em um pequeno vilarejo de Minas Gerais, e a festa de Nossa Senhora do Rosário e São Benedito, realizada no centro do Rio de Janeiro através de uma categoria analítica: o trançado. Estas festividades revelam devoções às entidades classificadas como Santos de Cor, ressignificando relações simbólicas dos negros com a escravidão e a desigualdade social. Sendo assim, procuramos demonstrar dois pontos centrais. O primeiro está baseado em como as devoções são capazes de envolver e mediar os fiéis em um círculo de relações humanas e não humanas, onde espíritos e objetos são materializados. O segundo, como um conjunto de sistemas simbólicos, se torna central para expressar o trançado, categoria de pensamento social,nas diferentes manifestações do catolicismo brasileiro.
Kanaimé, o grande matador
Authors: Monticelli Caio
Published: May 2021

O objetivo desse trabalho é apresentar a maneira pela qual os Taurepáng, povo Carib que no Brasil vive no norte do estado de Roraima, interpretam as ações do Kanaimé. De acordo com a literatura, trata-se de uma categoria de feitiçaria que envolve técnicas específicas de mutilação e assassinato amplamente difundidas nas terras adjacentes ao Monte Roraima e, além de um fenômeno espectral, oriundo da malevolência de outsiders, também diz respeito a um agressor que pode ser cercado, agredido e morto. Diante do aumento das tensões e acusações de Kanaimé nas comunidades taurepáng que ficam na savana venezuelana, suas lideranças optaram por uma iniciativa inédita: a criação de uma prisão para Kanaimé. Porém, em vez de atenuar os conflitos entre os parentes da vítima assassinada e os parentes do Kanaimé acusado, essa medida surtiu o efeito inverso e acabou por reforçar a compreensão taurepáng de que vivem em um “lugar de morte”.
O sonho e o desencanto
Authors: Oro Ari Pedro
Published: May 2021

Este artigo analisa a viagem do renomado Pai-de-santo Cleon de Oxalá, de Porto Alegre, para a província africana de Cabinda, ocorrida em junho de 2012.  Era, para ele,  a realização do sonho de conhecer a terra dos seus ancestrais religiosos e o cumprimento da missão de trazer para a sua “casa” uma porção de terra de Cabinda, para selar simbolicamente o vínculo entre os dois espaços sagrados. Porém, a realização do sonho foi acompanhada do desencanto em relação à situação da religião “tradicional” cabinda em solo africano, o que conduziu  Pai Cleon a concluir que a verdadeira religião dos seus antepassados não está mais na África, mas no Rio Grande do Sul.

Kathleen Sprows Cummings. A Saint of Our own: How the Quest for a Holy Hero Helped Catholics Become American. Chapel Hill
Authors: Suárez Ana Lourdes
Published: May 2021

El libro presenta los resultados de un minucioso estudio sobre el intrincado proceso por el cual algunos católicos de Estados Unidos pasaron a ser “oficialmente” reconocidos como santos del país. Presenta los contextos históricos y socio-religiosos que acompañaron el complejo proceso de canonización de Elizabeth Seton, Frances Cabrini, Katharine Drexel y John Neumann; así como los de Kateri Tekakwitha, Rose Philippine Duchesne, Junípero Serra, entre otros. Las preguntas que guían el libro son: ¿Qué motivó a los católicos de Estados Unidos a buscar que el Vaticano reconociera como “santo” a algunos de sus fieles? ¿Qué alimentó la necesidad de tener esas figuras? ¿Cómo esa necesidad fue cambiando de sentido con el tiempo y por qué? ¿Cómo y por qué los atributos destacados en las figuras propuestas para el arduo proceso que implica buscar la canonización, interpelaban la cultura religiosa norteamericana? ¿Por qué algunas postulaciones prosperaron y otras no?

Religião e cura tem sido um binômio que atravessa a história da humanidade. Sua longa duração tem permitido que esta relação se modifique e assuma matizes e formas de expressão muito variadas nos diversos contextos históricos, sociais e políticos. É este o tema que permeia o livro John of God: The Globalization of Brazilian Faith Healing de Cristina Rocha. A autora trata desta relação no contexto da globalização da religião na modernidade tardia, articulando a ação de um médium espírita, no interior do Brasil, com a rede internacional de seguidores, que se espalha pelo mundo, com foco em países como Austrália, Nova Zelândia, Estados Unidos e países europeus.
