Reconhecimento docente: a experiência social de professores do ensino privado gaúcho
Authors: Cuty Jerusa Alves , Pereira Marcos Villela
Published: December 2019

O presente artigo objetiva analisar o reconhecimento social docente sob a visão articulada da teoria do reconhecimento de Axel Honneth com o modelo desenvolvido por Nancy Fraser – integrando as esferas de reconhecimento com os conceitos de redistribuição e status, analisando como os professores se veem como sujeitos frente à ausência de reconhecimento social e a consequente falta de autorrealização. Para tanto, trabalhou-se com um recorte restrito, a partir de um corpus mais extenso, produzido em uma pesquisa que analisou os discursos docentes publicados na coluna Palavra de Professor do jornal Extra Classe, do SINPRO/RS, entre 2006 e 2015, investigando como eles sugerem aspectos de relações interpessoais na coluna “Palavra de Professor”, e formulando considerações sobre a significação do reconhecimento para docentes do ensino privado do Rio Grande do Sul. As análises limitam-se a explorar traços de presença ou ausência do reconhecimento em sequências discursivas extraídas do jornal, explorando indicadores estratégicos derivados de um olhar dirigido aos traços enunciativos dos sujeitos.
Walter Benjamin: memória e conhecimento do presente
Authors: Volz Filipe
Published: December 2019

Em Sobre o conceito de história, Walter Benjamin procura entender como foi possível a ascensão do fascismo durante toda a década de 1930 na Europa. Disputando com a socialdemocracia e o stalinismo o uso do “método” marxista de conhecimento do presente, o materialismo histórico, Benjamin procura uma filosofia da história que seja capaz de entendê-la para além da ideia burguesa de progresso, que teria sido responsável pela incompreensão sobre o fascismo. Nosso artigo procura esclarecer essa concepção estabelecendo uma relação entre ela e as ideias de narração, experiência, memória e modernidade, presentes no ensaio O Narrador, de 1936, além de alguns pontos da teoria do conhecimento de Benjamin. O objetivo é compreender o fascismo não como mero oposto do progresso, mas fruto dele mesmo, parte da época denominada modernidade, em que o individualismo impossibilita experiências em comum e uma memória partilhada.
Learning how to work in multicultural teams: Students’ insights on internationalization-at-home activities
Authors: Barbosa Belem , Swartz Stephanie , Luck Susan , Prado-Meza Claudia , Crawford Izzy
Published: December 2019

Internationalization-at-home activities present relevant opportunities for innovation in the teaching-learning process. These activities provide a very broad set of advantages, including the development of soft skills and increased motivation of students. This article aims to contribute to the debate on internationalization of higher education institutions by exploring students’ perceptions and experiences after participating in an international collaboration project involving 153 students in 5 universities in Germany, Mexico, Portugal, Scotland and the United States of America during the Fall/Winter semester 2017. The focus of this study is students’ satisfaction and perceptions. Results demonstrate that although students found the idea of collaborating with peers from other universities very appealing, high levels of satisfaction depended on commitment, both their own and that of their peers. The feelings during the project were predominantly positive, although students recognized that they should have communicated more with their partners and put more effort in the collaboration. This article provides useful evidence for instructors that are considering an international collaboration activity for their students. It demonstrates the deliverables of such initiatives as well as the clear advantage gained by receiving students’ feedback. Hopefully it will inspire other instructors and contribute to the diffusion of international collaboration as a teaching-learning practice.
Why do first and second-generation young migrants volunteer? The Migrant Volunteerism Motivation Model (MVMM)
Authors: Alfieri Sara , Marzana Daniela , Martinez Damia Sara
Published: December 2019

The following study aims at inquiring into the motivations behind young migrants’ volunteerism in civic organizations in Italy, namely in starting and maintaining their engagement (preliminary vs. maintenance phase). The term “young migrants” refers to first and second generation of migrants who deal with two challenges: the transition to adulthood and the acquisition of a cultural identity. We conducted semi-structured interviews with 37 Sub-Saharan young migrants living in Italy (18-32 years old), 19 of first generation (1G) and 18 of second generation (2G). The Omoto and Snyder’s Volunteer Process Model (VPM, 1995) was used as an underpinning theoretical framework and a guide for the interpretations of the results. The findings indicate that a) motivations included in the VPM are also found for young migrants, b) some of these motivations take particular meaning for young migrants, c) some motivations are not included in the VPM and are specific of this sample. We named these last motivations: social norms, advocacy and ethno-cultural. In addition, some considerations may be advanced regarding the generation and the phase of motivation: 1G migrants are particularly moved by the importance of integration in the Italian context and by the promotion of their ethnic group while 2G migrants reported mostly the desire to understand their roots. The values, the concern for the community and the longing to develop relationships are the motivations for which all young migrants continue to volunteer; however, 1G migrants are also sustained by advocacy and ethno-cultural motivations. Implications and future directions are discussed.
La Ética del discurso de Karl-Otto Apel en diálogo con la ética hermenéutica de Charles Taylor
Authors: Gracia Calandín Javier
Published: December 2019

El objetivo de este trabajo es poner de manifiesto la relevancia del legado filosófico de Karl-Otto Apel a la luz del diálogo con la ética de Charles Taylor. Nos detenemos en los últimos libros publicados de Charles Taylor y ensayamos una interpretación crítica de sus tesis a partir de la pragmática trascendental de Apel. Hundiendo sus raíces en la matriz hermenéutica y crítica, la ética del discurso de Karl-Otto Apel sigue ofreciendo una dialéctica fecunda entre realidad e idealidad que resulta insoslayable para afrontar con garantías el futuro de la humanidad.

The aim of this paper is to highlight the relevance of the philosophical legacy of Karl-Otto Apel in light of the dialogue with the philosophy of Charles Taylor. The paper is focused on the last published books of Charles Taylor and a critical interpretation of some of his main ideas from the Apel’s transcendental pragmatics is addressed. Plunging its roots in the hermeneutic and critical matrix, Karl-Otto Apel's ethic of discourse continues to offer a fruitful dialectic between reality and ideality that is unavoidable to face the future of humanity with guarantees.
Repensar la democracia. Estrategia moral y perspectiva crítica en K.O.APEL
Authors: García Marzá Domingo Viente
Published: December 2019

El objetivo de este artículo es mostrar la actualidad de algunas de las aportaciones más importantes de K.O.Apel a la reflexión democrática, en concreto a la relación entre ética y democracia. Para este objetivo compararemos estas aportaciones con las de J.Habermas, compañero de viaje en la propuesta de la ética del discurso. Comprobaremos cómo nuestro autor supo avanzar y justificar la necesidad de una estrategia moral, más aún, de una arquitéctonica de la razón práctica que relacione fundamentación y aplicación. Solo así se puede dar razón de la perspectiva crítica tanto en la fundamentación de la idea de democracia como en la aplicación del principio moral a las instituciones que componen el sistema democrático.

The aim of this paper is to show the actuality of K.O. Apel's most important contributions to democratic reflection, specifically the relationship between ethics and democracy. For this purpose, we will compare these contributions with those of J. Habermas, his colleague in the discourse ethics approach. We will see how our author achieved an advance in the justification of the need for a moral strategy, even more so for an architectural theory of practical reason hich includes the conditions of its application. Only in this way we can give a reason for the critical perspective, both in the foundation of the idea of democracy and in the application of the moral principle to the institutions that make up the democratic system.
Aborto y discurso moral. Ideas clave de la Ética del discurso para el tratamiento de la interrupción voluntaria de la vida humana inicial
Authors: Michelini Dorando
Published: December 2019

El presente texto aborda la problemática del aborto como una cuestión moral, y deja de lado otros enfoques relevantes (por ejemplo, pragmáticos y éticos), dado que estos, en opinión del autor, no tienen como horizonte último el punto de vista moral. A partir de los presupuestos conceptuales y metodológicos de la Ética del discurso, en tanto que ética de la corresponsabilidad solidaria no rigorista, se presentan conceptos ético-discursivos que pueden fundamentar las dos tesis siguientes: a) La interrupción arbitraria de la vida humana en la etapa inicial de desarrollo es una práctica injusta; b) En determinados contextos de interacción y en situaciones específicas de decisión, el principio moral que exige no interrumpir voluntariamente la vida humana inicial puede ser no aplicable o su aplicación no exigible.

The present text addresses the problem of abortion as a moral issue, and leaves aside other relevant approaches (e.g. pragmatic and ethical), since these, in the author's opinion, do not have the moral point of view as their ultimate horizon. From the conceptual and methodological assumptions of Discourse Ethics, as ethics of non-rigorous solidary co-responsibility, discourse-ethical concepts are presented that can support the following two theses: a) The arbitrary interruption of human life in the initial stage of development is an unjust practice; b) In certain contexts of interaction and in specific situations of decision, the moral principle that demands not voluntarily interrupting the initial human life may not be applicable or its application may not be enforceable.

RENAISSANCE – REBIRTH: SOME REMARKS ABOUT THE HUMANISTIC INTERPRETATION OF HISTORY
Authors: Kablitz Andreas
Published: December 2019

The author works towards a historical understanding of humanism through his analysis of the notion of rebirth which was a key concept, but under different guise, both in the self-interpretation of the sixteenth century as well as in the appearance, during the nineteenth century, of the term "Renaissance" when it was first used to describe a historical period. However, the contexts of Vasari’s use of the word rinascita and later of Michelet’s use of the word Renaissance differ greatly. Whereas in Vasari, rebirth is meant to reinterpret the relationship of art to nature against nominalism’s views that there are pre-ordained possibilities, in Michelet rebirth is meant to refer to the development of empirical studies of nature and the retrieval of the Greek and Latin program of self-constitution for mankind through the work of reason. Hence, the Middle Ages, and scholasticism especially, are blamed for their suppression of nature. The loss of the importance of art in Michelet's conception of the Renaissance follows logically from the interpretation of this period as a re-establishment of truth. On the contrary, if art is of crucial importance in Vasari's conception of rinascita, it is because art as creation opens all possibilities and, thus, is part of an effort towards perfection.

GESTURING TOWARD THE VISUAL: VIRTUAL REALITY, HYPERTEXT AND EMBODIED FEMINIST CRITICISM
Authors: Guertin Carolyn
Published: December 2019

Feminist critics have been as slow to take up the tools of electronic scholarship as the academy has been at recognizing on-line criticism as a legitimate mode of investigation. Canadian experimental feminist authors and artists, however, are proving more likely to embrace the philosophy, if not necessarily the medium, of electronic possibilities. The potential for cutting edge hypertext feminist scholarship is examined through an examination of Nicole Brossard's use of Virtual Reality as a feminist discourse in her novel Baroque at Dawn (Baroque d'aube) and Catherine Richards' body-based, real time art explorations in her Virtual Reality installation pieces entitled The Virtual Body and Curiosity Cabinet, at the End of the Millennium.
THE EMPIRE BUILDER: WAR AND THE SUBJECT OF THE HUMANITIES
Authors: Horne Jenny , Kahana Jonathan
Published: December 2019

In Carl von Clausewitz's 1832 political treatise On War, the military general is given the form of the humanist scholar. But it isn't until the establishment in the United States of the discipline of the Humanities, between the world wars, that this traditional figure of knowledge is given official discursive status. Using Clausewitz and the rhetoric of the most recent "crisis in the Humanities", we pose the question, "where in fact are our military institutions located?".

In order to show the interdependence of these two apparently discrete histories, one would have to redefine modern warfare and humanist scholarship in terms of each other. To this end, we frame the humanist ideals of rational debate, erudition and cultural appreciation, and the production of truth and beauty, as historically linked to the epistemology of war. We address a recent tactical example of this perpetual war — the closing of the humanities department at the University of Minnesota.

The “Children of Nature” and “Our Province”
Authors: Robertson James Tyler
Published: December 2019

Throughout what came to be known as the War of 1812, The Rev. John Strachan wrote and spoke on a variety of topics related to the conflict. The focus of this article is on his views of the Native peoples and why he believed that Upper Canadians should embrace these “sons of nature” as brothers. It was his argument that the United States desired Upper Canada because it provided a more confined landmass within which they could exterminate the indigenous tribes and free up the West for American expansion. Strachan defended the autonomy of the Natives, the superiority of English governance, and the centrality of Upper Canada in the theatre of war. These writings both challenged the prevalent assumption at the time that Natives were simply pawns in the contest and posited a rarely examined explanation of why Upper Canada was vital to both Native and Imperial concerns.
Epic Triumph, Epic Embarrassment, or Both?
Authors: Forest Timothy S.
Published: December 2019

Widely divergent national and local historiographies about the War of 1812 have been created on both sides of the Canadian/American border. This has special significance for the Niagara region, where the two belligerents directly confronted and still confront each other. On the Canadian side of the Niagara River, the Niagara Peninsula has been transformed into a center of regional and national pride. Military leaders, troops and battles are celebrated and events commemorated in a grandiose and triumphant manner. Across the river, Western New York has largely downplayed or outright ignored its role in the very same conflict, to fit in with both the national and local amnesia surrounding the war and the region’s self-conceptualization as a “good neighbour”. This article focuses on public commemorations on both sides of the Niagara to uncover the historical, geographic, economic and demographic explanations as to why the war has been transformed into an epic victory for some, a defeat for others, and an embarrassment best ignored for many.
“Art Should Always Ennoble”
Authors: Halpern Monda , Halpern Sonia
Published: December 2019

Between 1917 and 1922, Emma Griesbach edited the women’s page of The Farmers’ Sun. The newspaper became the official organ of the United Farmers of Ontario (UFO), which swept to provincial victory in 1919. The UFO recruited rural female support through the United Farm Women of Ontario (UFWO) in which Griesbach was a leading activist. Through her women’s page in The Farmers’ Sun, Greisbach espoused the tenets of the UFO and UFWO to her female readers in an effort to make them more politically aware, and thus elevate the quality of their lives. Notably, she encouraged them to better their lot through their own cultural development. She wrote numerous columns seeking to expose them to the “highbrow” world of art. In doing so, Emma Griesbach shifts our attention to women’s connection with art in the neglected context of rural life.
Dead Man’s Gun
Authors: Burtch Andrew
Published: December 2019

Just after the war, the city of Ottawa expanded its borders as the federal government created what would become the National Capital Region. The Canadian War Museum was one of the newly created federal institutions. Using recently released documents from the Department of Justice, this article explores how a gun stolen from the museum in October 1945 was later used in the fatal shooting of an Ottawa policeman. The theft, murder, and trial that followed reveal how the Second World War shaped Ottawa and its residents. The crime and its punishment linked in to postwar social and political debates about housing, criminality, and the regulation of souvenir firearms held by Canadian veterans.
“In the interest of the Indians”
Authors: McGowan Katharine
Published: December 2019

When the Canadian Expeditionary Force (CEF) began actively enlisting Native men for overseas service in December 1915, the Department of Indian Affairs (DIA) saw an opportunity to further their goal of assimilating Native peoples through active duty. To maximize the number of Native soldiers, the DIA lent Iroquois clerk and translator Charles Cooke to the CEF to help recruit on reserves in Southern Ontario in the winter and spring 1916. During the northern half of Cooke’s tour from Rama to Manitoulin Island, many of the communities he visited took advantage of his connection with the DIA, using the current need for soldiers as a bargaining chip in pre-war disputes with the government. While they used Cooke to further their local concerns, he judged the Native men’s potential abilities as soldiers, as well as the strength of their communities, according to the tenets of the DIA’s goal of assimilating Native peoples.
Killing premiers to build a canal
Authors: White Daryl
Published: December 2019

For more than a century, Canadian promoters encouraged the construction of the Montreal, Ottawa and Georgian Bay Canal. No individual brought more passion to the cause than McLeod Stewart. A well-connected man, he was a former Mayor of Ottawa and involved in a number of ventures in the city. He devoted more than two decades of his life to raising private and public support for the canal he felt would capture the trade of the North American interior for Canada. Stewart may have failed to realize his dream, but his optimistic imperialism reminds us of the spirit which infused Canada in the Laurier years.
“This Ambitious Polish Jew”
Authors: Halpern Monda
Published: December 2019

Bishop Isaac Hellmuth is the undisputed father of The University of Western Ontario, and his devotion to Christianity is celebrated as part of its rich history. Hellmuth, however, was born a Jew. Both Anglican and evangelical sources have treated his Judaism and his 1841 conversion to Christianity in a variety of ways, but they are limited. This paper will revisit Hellmuth’s conversion and career through a Jewish lens, profiling a Christian missionary movement in which Hellmuth was active as both a prospective apostate and long-time emissary. Hellmuth’s conversion has been described as an exclusively religious experience, but amidst European anti-Semitism, it might have been partly motivated by a desire for position and wealth. Certainly, Hellmuth’s conversion reaped him rewards, although in London, Ontario, he was never quite able to elude his Jewish past.

Introduction: Cow´s milk protein allergy (CMPA) and lactose intolerance (LI) negatively affect the quality of life of patients and their families.
Objective: To analyse the perception parents of children with CMPA or LI regarding aspects of health, emphasising their oral health and the factors involved in the treatment of allergy/food intolerance.
Methods: Qualitative research employing focus groups, with a sample of 12 parents of children with CMPA or LI (two groups), including the participation of a researcher/moderator, an observer, and six participants in each group and a plan with guiding questions. Discourses were recorded and transcribed, and textual contents were processed in software IRAMUTEQ and analysed by the descendant hierarchical classification (DHC) technique, content analysis, and word cloud.
Results: Six categories were derived from DHC-multivariate analysis: (1) infant formula, (2) oral health, (3) nutritional aspects, (4) treatment, (5) disease´s stigma, and (6) health services. The thematic axes were derived from nutritional, assistance, and care categories. Reports of different oral diseases were given by parents regarding food allergy or intolerance in their children, such as frequent caries, teeth spots, pain, and sensitive teeth.
Conclusion: Parents´ perception of CMPA/LI in their children is affected by nutritional factors and the stigma caused by the disease, with special reference to the importance given to children´s oral health and reports about difficulties in the access to health services with multi-professional teams.

Introduction: Motor development studies and debates reveal that sport and physical activity develop and improve motor skills. These studies seek to understand the changes that occur with movement, which becomes more complex as it develops through physical activity.
Objective: To compare the level of physical activity and motor coordination of students in different maturational stages and to relate the level of physical activity with the motor coordination of young people.
Methods: Descriptive research with cross-sectional design. A total of 46 male subjects aged 10 to 14 years participated in the study. Baecke's usual physical activity questionnaire was applied; the maturity stage was verified through the Puberal Maturation Prediction Equation; the body composition was evaluated through the Guedes protocol for children and adolescents; Finally, the coordinative performance was classified using the Korperkoordinationstest fur Kinder (KTK) test battery.
Results: There were significant differences for the variables Age and Height among all stages: P3, P4 and P5 maturation. The differences found in the variable body weight occurred only between the P3 and P5 stages; P4 and P5. It was also observed that no significant differences were found for motor coordination between maturation stages. The same occurred when physical activity indexes were compared.
Conclusion: There is no difference in the level of physical activity between stages 3, 4 and 5 of sexual maturation, nor does the maturational stage seem to influence the level of motor coordination of young students.
Evaluation of the performance of a hydraulic barrier by the Null space Monte Carlo method

Published: December 2019

A gasoline leak caused the contamination of a shallow alluvial aquifer in an urbanized area in Northern Italy. A rapid intervention was conceived to stop the spreading of contamination: a hydraulic barrier has been placed downstream of the source to collect both the floating oil and the contaminated groundwater. A numerical model has been built to assess the performance of the existing barrier, and to design a new configuration of the hydraulic barrier aimed at stopping the hydrocarbon plume already dispersed downstream. A preliminary model was built and calibrated against groundwater levels measured in 41 monitoring wells. Hydraulic conductivities in pilot points, recharge zones and constant head BCs were calibrated. The non-uniqueness of the calibrated parameters led to identify 283 alternative parameter sets, all able to represent the observed heads within an absolute average error of 10 cm. These sets, generated with the Null space Monte Carlo method, served to build 283 models, used to simulate the dispersion of solved contamination through forward particle tracking. A further step was the censoring of all simulations resulting in particle paths at a distance closer than 5 meters from monitoring wells where contamination was never found since the spilled occurred. Analysis was performed of the particle paths generated with the 187 models that were retained. Overall, the barrier captures 89% of all particles. Moreover, in 74% of all realizations, at least a particle escapes, with a mean and median of 7 particles in each realization where it happens. Two main contamination paths are identified: while one is confirmed by the monitoring wells already present, another one would require the placement of new wells to assess the actual presence of contamination. Thus, the validity of the stochastic simulation would be assessed together with the need to improve the performance of the hydraulic barrier.

Background

Low levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) have been described as one of the possible environmental factors involved in multiple sclerosis (MS) etiopathogenesis.

Objectives

To study epidemiology of MS and 25(OH)D serum levels of patients in Lanzarote (29°02′06″N), a region with high ultraviolet radiation values during the whole year which is located far apart from Iberian Peninsula (36°–43°N), but without genetic/ethnic differences with it.

Methods

Incidence in Lanzarote was assessed according to McDonald 2005 criteria between January 2008 and December 2015 and prevalence date was 12/31/15. For 25(OH)D serum levels analyses, samples from 60 MS patients and 60 healthy donors (HD) were collected monthly in a one-year prospective study.

Results

The prevalence of MS in Lanzarote was 50.0/100,000 and the incidence per year was 2.5/100,000. Median 25(OH)D levels values were 29.1 ng/ml for MS patients (maximum = 36.1 ng/ml, minimum = 22.5 ng/ml) and 27.1 ng/ml for HD (maximum = 34.8 ng/ml, minimum = 22.8 ng/ml). There were no significant differences between 25(OH)D serum levels between MS patients and HD.

Conclusions

Lanzarote possesses lower prevalence and incidence values than peninsular Spain. Moreover, 25(OH)D serum levels do not differ between MS patients and HD.

Published: December 2019

Background

Integrins play a crucial role in the regulation process of cell proliferation, migration, differentiation, tumor invasion and metastasis. ITGA11, ITGB4 and ITGB8 are three encoding genes of integrins family. Accumulative evidences have proved that abnormal expression of ITGA11, ITGB4 and ITGB8 are a common phenomenon in different malignances. However, their expression patterns and prognostic roles for patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) have not been completely illustrated.

Methods

We investigated the expression patterns and prognostic values of ITGA11, ITGB4 and ITGB8 in patients with NSCLC through using a series of databases and various datasets, including ONCOMINE, GEPIA, HPA, TCGA and GEO datasets.

Results

We found that the expression levels of ITGA11 and ITGB4 were significantly upregulated in both LUAD and LUSC, while ITGB8 was obviously upregulated in LUSC. Additionally, higher expression level of ITGB4 revealed a worse OS in LUAD.

Conclusion

Our findings suggested that ITGA11 and ITGB4 might have the potential ability to act as diagnostic biomarkers for both LUAD and LUSC, while ITGB8 might serve as diagnostic biomarker for LUSC. Furthermore, ITGB4 could serve as a potential prognostic biomarker for LUAD.
Two Themes in Maimonides’s Modifications to His Legal Works
Authors: Herman Marc
Published: December 2019

The survival of the personal copy of Commentary on the Mishnah by Maimonides (1138–1204), which he revised throughout his life, provides an unparalleled window into the ways he continually reconsidered legal and conceptual questions. This manuscript covers five of the six orders of the Mishnah and contains countless corrections and emendations, the vast majority in the author’s own hand. This article argues that Maimonides’s intense interest in solving problems related to the enumeration of the commandments, which he addresses at length in Book of the Commandments and, to a lesser extent, Mishneh Torah, led him to make a number of emendations to his Commentary and to rethink other aspects of his work. That is, when writing Book of the Commandments and Mishneh Torah in the decade after completing his Commentary, Maimonides tackled, and sometimes even concocted, questions that he had no reason to consider in the latter work. This study traces two ways that Maimonides’s later works diverge from his earlier ones, in the meaning of Hebrew and Arabic technical terms and in increased attention to scripture in determing Jewish law, revealing a great medieval mind “in perpetual motion.”
Dōng 東 ‘East’ and the Chinese “Indian Circle”
Authors: Smith Jonathan
Published: December 2019

The Chinese character ⟨東⟩, writing a word meaning ‘east’, is shown here to have arisen in connection with the use of the vertical gnomon in the determination of cardinal direction. The simple geometric procedure involved—by Al-Bīrūnī (973–1048) termed the “Indian Circle”—is attested across a number of other early cultural contexts, and has a Chinese history traceable from classical-era technical treatises such as the “Kǎogōng jì” 考工記 to sixth-century commentary to the mathematical text Shùshù jìyí 數術記遺 . Evidence offered below constitutes the first direct indication for such a practice in second-millennium BCE China .
