Published: November 2023

The paper is devoted to the study of the interaction and significance of factors influencing the prediction and optimization of the process of obtaining malt. The object of our research is wheat, barley and rye malt. 33 full factorial experiments were performed, germination period, wetting degree and temperature act as variable factors. At the same time, the amylolytic activity of malt's enzymatic complex and malt's saccharification ability were taken as the response function of the experiment. 27 experiments were carried out with three repetitions in order to check the accuracy of the choice of optimal conditions for the process of obtaining malt, and a regression equation was obtained. According to the least squares method, the regression equations were obtained for approximation of the saccharification ability (SA) and amylolytic activity (AA) values of wheat malt. According to the method of regression analysis, the adequacy of the equations was checked by the Fisher criterion, the statistical significance of their coefficients was checked by the Student's criterion, and the homogeneity of parallel experiments was checked by the Cochrane criterion. The regression model expressing the result of the optimization of the process of obtaining wheat malt is as follows: τ=5.8 days, w=42.2 %, t=15.9 °C; YSA=5.35, YAA=320.0, for barley malt – τ=6.1 days; w=44.1 %; t=17.6 °C; YSA=4.93; YAA=255.2, and for rye malt – τ=4.6 days; w=45.1 %; t=15.0 °C; YSA=8.63; YAA=198.1. In this work, the temperature dependence of the amylolytic activity and saccharifying activity of malt enzymes was also studied. The germination temperature of grains has a maximum effect on the complex of amylolytic enzymes of malts.
The research materials can be applied in the production of non-alcoholic and functional beverages
Identifying the influence of design parameters of a hydrostatic bearing in an aircraft fuel pump on its static characteristics
Authors: Nazin Vladimir
Published: November 2023

The object of this study is hydrostatic processes in the sliding bearings of gear-type aviation fuel pumps.
The problem of the influence of the design parameters of the fuel pump bearing on its static characteristics was solved. Load-bearing capacity, lubricant consumption, and operating temperature conditions were considered as static characteristics. The determination of these characteristics was based on the pressure distribution function in the working fluid layer. An option was adopted with two load-bearing chambers located on the working surface of the hydrostatic bearing. Three options for the circumferential arrangement of chambers relative to the line of action of the external load were studied. A quantitative assessment of the effect of increasing the temperature of the working fluid on the consumption of lubricant and bearing capacity is given.
It has been established that with an increase in the angle of position of chambers relative to the line of action of the external load, the flow rate of the working fluid in the bearing increases, and its load-bearing capacity decreases. With a clearance in the bearing of 0.0225 mm, with an increase in the angle of the chambers from 30° to 40°, the flow of working fluid through the bearing increases by approximately 1.64 times. When the gap increases to 0.0425 mm and the angle of the chambers changes from 30° to 40°, the flow rate of the working fluid increases by approximately 1.2 times. The load-bearing capacity of the bearing with an increase in the chamber position angle from 30° to 40° decreases with a gap of 0.0225 mm by approximately 1.6 times, and with a gap of 0.0425 mm by approximately 1.93 times.
An increase in the temperature of the working fluid leads to a decrease in the load-bearing capacity of the bearing by 2.5 % and an increase in the flow rate of the working fluid in the bearing by 4.6 %.
The results allow for more rational design of hydrostatic bearings for fuel gear pumps.

Published: November 2023

Currently, it is more efficient to use LEO small spacecraft as radio control points to determine the compliance of the radiation parameters of electronic means with the relevant norms and conditions of permits for the use of the radio frequency spectrum. Such satellite radio monitoring systems make it possible to determine the parameters of signals and the location of radio-electronic means over a large area with a diverse terrain, which will increase the efficiency of radio monitoring systems. When performing such tasks, one of the most important parameters is the detection and isolation of a useful signal against the background of noise and interference. For such purposes, it is effective to use Kalman filters. It was found that the Kalman filter can detect and isolate useful signals against the background of noise and interference with very high accuracy. However, when solving such problems, problems arise related to the stability of the method to the choice of the initial state of the filter and the inevitable distortion of the frequency of the desired signal due to the presence of the Doppler effect. In the course of this study, it was found that the similarity coefficient depends on the noise level, but it does not actually depend on frequency distortion.
It was also found that when the SNR ratio is greater than 0 dB, the radio signal at the input of the on-board measuring receiver will be received with a reliability of more than 90 %. Therefore, it can be concluded that the signal detection method for satellite radio monitoring based on the use of the Kalman filter is resistant to possible frequency distortions of the desired signal due to the Doppler effect and does not affect the correctness and speed of decisions made
Formation of the strength of fine-grained concrete based on modified slag Portland cement
Authors: Shіshkina Aleхsandra , Piskun Illia
Published: November 2023

The object of research is fine-grained concrete on slag portland cement. Owing to the significant content of metallurgical industry waste in its composition, slag portland cement belongs to ecologically acceptable products. However, the insufficient rate of formation of its structure and, as a result, the main quality indicator, which is compressive strength, limits the field of use of slag portland cement. Therefore, in the studies, the goal was to increase the speed of formation of the strength of fine-grained concrete made on slag portland cement. The studies of the influence of modification of slag portland cement with water, activated by the use of the hydrophobic hydration mechanism, established the factors affecting the speed of formation and the value of compressive strength of fine-grained concrete made on slag portland cement. It has been proven that these factors include the type and amount of applied water nanomodifiers, as well as the type and amount of fine concrete aggregate. The analysis of the study results confirmed that the introduction of water activated by the mechanism of hydrophobic hydration into concrete in ultra-small doses significantly increases the rate of formation of concrete strength. Given this, the strength of the resulting modified fine-grained concrete based on slag portland cement at the age of 2 days exceeds the strength of the similar concrete without additives by 60 %, and at the age of 210 days – by 25 %. This allows us to assert the effectiveness of the identified mechanism of modification of slag portland cement. Thus, there are reasons to assert the possibility of targeted regulation of the processes of forming a strong structure of fine-grained concrete based on slag portland cement by using water activated by the mechanism of hydrophobic hydration
A case study of quality control application with BIM-laser scanning collaboration in building construction process
Authors: Polat Hasan , Ali Nabaz Mawlood
Published: November 2023

Housing accounts for the largest share of the volume of the construction sector. Housing is the living space that people use on a permanent or temporary basis. Living space is also expected to have the desired quality. Quality requires construction in accordance with specified conditions and rules. In order to minimize possible errors in the design and construction process and to achieve the desired level of quality, continuous, scientific and instrumental controls are required. In recent years, with the rapid development of technology, methods have been developed that have achieved good results using integrated technology, which has begun to replace the quality controls performed by traditional methods. This new technology partnership called Building Information Modelling and Laser Scanning is described in this study. The aim of the study is to show that human error in building inspection can be minimized with the help of technology. In the study, a building was selected from a sample public housing project. Two dimensional projects of the building were converted into three dimensions using Building Information Modelling. In the current state of construction, point clouds were captured using laser scanning. The point clouds were converted to three dimensions. The construction defects were calculated by overlaying the BIM model with the real point cloud data. After checking, it was found that 2.2 % of the productions were defective productions. It was found that 97.8 % of the productions were within acceptable tolerance limits. The results obtained on a sample residential building demonstrate the importance of these new solutions for quality control and error-free production

Published: November 2023

The object of the study is the decision-making modeling in the context of medical social media to increase the clinics’ effectiveness. The problem is to classify the patient reviews collected in the patient-clinic segment of the medical social media and to identify the situation related to the clinics’ activity by revealing the criteria characterizing the clinics’ activity out of the opinions.
The proposed technique refers to lexicon-based sentiment analysis of opinions, the classification based on Valence Aware Dictionary and Sentiment Reasoner (VADER), the verification of the results accuracy with Multinomial Naive Bayes and Support Vector Machine, the manual sentiment analysis of opinions to detect criteria and the classification of opinions according to each criterion.
Using this technique, out of 442587 patient reviews obtained from database cms_hospital_satisfaction_2020 of the Kaggle company generated on the basis of crowdsourcing of patient reviews on medical social media, 218914 patient reviews are classified as positive, 190360 – as neutral, and 33313 – as negative. The results accuracy is verified, and the clinics are rated by the «positive» opinions. 6 new criteria characterizing the clinics’ activity are discovered, and the identification of the situation related to the clinics’ activity based on the comparison of «positive» and «negative» opinions according to each criterion is presented.
The possibility of using the results obtained from the identification to increase the clinics’ efficiency in making decisions is shown.
The results obtained in this study can be used to improve the clinics’ performance according to public opinion. This opportunity involves the crowdsourcing of opinions about the clinic in the medical social media environment and the collection of opinions in a structured way.
Identifying some regularities of hydropower components functioning for proper operation of Chameliya hydropower plant in Nepal
Authors: Pandey Roshan , Shrestha Rajendra , Bhattarai Nawraj
Published: November 2023

The main objective of the research study is to identify the status and analyze the problems in Chameliya hydropower plants in Nepal. In this paper, the hydropower has been studied to identify some regularities of hydropower components on proper operation and generation through primary and secondary data. Further, it been analyzed by bottlenecking through mechanical components testing for the detail study to find the actual problems. Hydropower contributes about 86 % of total internal generation to available energy in Nepal with 93 % of people having access to electricity through the national grid. Small hydropower plants (less than 30 MW) are 90 % of the installed plants contributing the major electricity demands of nearly 50 % in the country. Though hydropower is one of the major export commodities in the past few years, it still has deficits in the dry season. Chameliya hydropower plant, 30 MW situated in the far-western part of Nepal, generates 670 MWh of energy in the wet season and which declines to 384 MWh in the dry season. Even though the plant does not have the problem of much erosion and has a sufficient flow in the dry season, the generation value is still below the design.
The issue of variation in shaft speed, misalignment of shaft bearing integrity and ultimately friction due to vibration, rises the temperature beyond the limit in the bearing Babbitt material result for failure in the plant with problematic shutdown. Thus, this research primarily focuses on the problem analysis in hydropower plants, concluding with the result that the developing countries need to have more focus on regular preventive maintenance and also schedule large maintenance on mechanical components like shafts, bearings, turbine etc. to avoid bigger damage in the long run. Hence, the study also suggests that mechanical failure in a hydropower is mostly common and therefore, a robust mechanical structure along with high safety factor components need to be encouraged where the possibilities of regular maintenance and smooth operation are reduced.

Psicología y Formación Clínica
Authors: Paredes Galárraga Leoncio , Pantoja Obando Diego Mauricio
Published: November 2023

La psicología es una de las disciplinas encargada del estudio de los procesos mentales y comportamentales; este interés no es propio de los tiempos modernos ya que desde la antigüedad, especialmente en el periodo losóco, pensadores como Sócrates, Platón y Aristóteles se interesaron en buscar explicación de la existencia humana, del comportamiento y del alma, convirtiéndose de alguna manera en pioneros en el estudio del ser humano en el campo psicológico.

Lo anterior puede referenciarse como antecedente de la génesis de la psicología, disciplina interesada en el desarrollo humano a través del estudio de los procesos mentales y comportamentales de los sujetos en los diferentes contextos de interacción. Los procesos evolutivos en los que se ha visto inmerso el hombre han traído consigo nuevas demandas en la salud mental, persuadiendo a la psicología a asumir nuevas lecturas que vayan más allá de la concepción dualista mente-cuerpo; por lo que, se hace necesario mirar al ser humano como un sujeto más complejo, contextualizado, en proceso de llegar a ser y no como producto acabado, cuyas conductas y comportamientos se ven inuenciados por la interacción de lo social, lo biológico, lo espiritual, lo político, lo cultural y lo religioso, entre otros. De ahí la importancia del compromiso y la responsabilidad en los procesos de formación de los profesionales en salud mental.

Este artículo pretende abordar de forma sucinta el recorrido histórico de la psicología y una mirada a sus campos de aplicación para comprender la importancia de la formación del psicólogo en el campo clínico, y así entender el compromiso social de la Universidad Cesmag en los procesos formativos de los futuros profesionales de la salud mental.

El presente artículo da cuenta del desarrollo de un trabajo investigativo realizado durante séptimo, octavo y noveno semestre de formación profesional en arquitectura, forjado desde el grupo institucional de Semilleros de Investigación de la Universidad  CESMAG. En dicho trabajo se abordan diversos temas como demografía, densificación e indicadores ambientales en consumo, con un enfoque en el desarrollo sustentable en espacios urbanos, a partir de un análisis cuantitativo de impactos ambientales. Ciudades intermedias como San Juan de Pasto experimentan un rápido y desmedido crecimiento urbano, lo cual requiere vincular medidas ambientales precisas que definan lineamientos de ordenamiento ambiental en la ciudad; por consiguiente, se establece una metodología de medición estadística inspirada en la Matriz de Leopold, donde se califica cuantitativamente la tendencia de impacto ambiental en relación a indicadores en consumo de agua, energía y generación de residuos sólidos; asimismo, se desarrollan modelos prospectivos como una herramienta estratégica de anticipación, al estimar el comportamiento urbano ambiental a futuro, en variaciones de consumo de recursos energéticos para los próximos años. Como resultado de esta investigación se define que la actividad de construcción genera un alto impacto, y se concluye que la vivienda residencial en altura, junto ala densidad urbana, influye de manera significativa en el metabolismo urbano de las ciudades.
El monólogo humorístico
Authors: Enríquez Pantoja María Viviana , Gaviria Rojas León Darío
Published: November 2023

Es importante tener en cuenta que el humor es un factor de motivación y estimulación que genera alegría, satisfacción, gozo, deleite, regocijo y agrado a los seres humanos, independientemente de la edad, el contexto, el estrato social y la profesión; además permite al individuo dejar de lado prejuicios, frustraciones e incomodidades al momento de tomar la palabra frente a cualquier tipo de oyente.

Bajo esta perspectiva, la expresión oral se convierte en una de las fuentes principales para que los interlocutores asimilen y comprendan lo expuesto por el locutor, en donde la risa, la diversión y el entretenimiento son las bases importantes de la ingeniosidad y sutileza del buen humor.

Por otro lado, la expresión oral, siendo una de las partes fundamentales de la comunicación humana, se vislumbra como la herramienta básica en la adquisición y transmisión de información entre los individuos, en este sentido, la comunicación oral es de gran importancia para el desarrollo en una sociedad, es una actividad esencial de la conducta comunicativa y sus características más importantes son el volumen y la entonación de la voz, gracias a lo cual el mensaje es comprendido, igual que los silencios, las conductas no  verbales, la expresión corporal y la condición espacial.

Authors: Fuentes Livia Barrionuevo El Hetti , Gardim Lucas , Silva Thaís Oliveira da , Moura André Almeida de , Bernardes Andrea
Published: November 2023

ABSTRACT Objectives: to identify scientific evidence regarding the use of Lean Healthcare approach in the hospitalization and patient discharge process. Methods: this is an Integrative Review conducted in the PubMed, LILACS, SCOPUS, CINAHL, Web of Science, and Embase databases. Results: out of 904 records identified, three were included in this review. The studies demonstrated that when applied to discharge planning, the Lean philosophy brings favorable results, promoting improvements in the communication process, as well as assisting in workflow organization, with a reduction in length of stay and improvement in the quality of care. Final Considerations: although the Lean methodology presents positive results, it is considered that the application of the philosophy in healthcare institutions is still not sustainable, as it is often restricted to specific departments or services. Thus, to maximize the success of implementation, the Lean philosophy needs to be incorporated into the organizational culture, representing the greatest challenge.

Assim, para maximizar o sucesso da implementação, a filosofia Lean precisa ser incorporada à cultura organizacional, representando o maior desafio.
The main aspects of asceticism and repentance in the work of “Pratum” By John Moschus
Authors: Smetaniak Atanasia Mariia
Published: November 2023

Abstract: The theme of repentance is eternal for Christians. Almost all the Holy Fathers touched upon it with necessity and called to resort to this miraculous preparation given by the Church. It also runs like a red thread through the work of Pratum by John Moschus. The purpose of this study is to analyze the work of Pratum by John Moschus, which touches upon the theme of repentance and the main aspects of asceticism. The paper aims to identify the main characteristics of monastic life associated with ascetic practices of primitive monasticism described in the work. The study focuses on the addressees of the work, namely the monks for whom the work was written, and the topics about ascetic practices, the importance and necessity of repentance and the action of divine grace in human life. The study intends to ensure that these themes and practices are inherited by other generations and do not lose their relevance.

ABSTRACT: This study determined the extraction conditions, chemical composition, and antimicrobial activities of the essential oils of Citrus nobilis. The results illustrated that soaking in the 9% (w/v) NaCl solution for 2 h with a sample and solvent ratio of 1:3 (w/v) and a subsequent extraction time of 45 min yielded the highest extraction efficiency, reaching 3.66% (w/w). The main chemical components of the essential oils were limonene (90.42%), β-myrcene (4.7%), and α-pinene (1.22%). The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) at the density of 5x104, 5x105, and 5x106 cells/mL of Escherichia coli were 100, 125, and 125 mg/mL, respectively; for Staphylococcus aureus were 75, 100, and 125 mg/mL, respectively; and for Bacillus cereus were 50, 75, and 100 mg/mL, respectively. The minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) at densities of 5x104, 5x105, 5x106 cells/mL of E. coli were 175, 225, 225 mg/mL, S. aureus were 150, 200, 225 mg/mL, and B. cereus were 125, 175, 200 mg/mL, respectively. The inhibitory activities of Aspergillus flavus of orange essential oils according to the agar dilution method at concentrations of 0.025-0.1%) on the 5th day were 8.84-30.61%.

Published: November 2023

Resumo Na população idosa, pessoas LGBTQIA+ representam um dos grupos mais propensos a depender de serviços de cuidados formais, devido à vulnerabilidade socioeconômica. Contudo, o preconceito enraizado na sociedade, inclusive em profissionais da saúde e da assistência social, resulta em um modelo de atendimento cis-heteronormativo em Instituições de Longa Permanência para Idosos (ILPI). O objetivo deste artigo é investigar, descrever e analisar a produção científica sobre o preconceito contra pessoas idosas LGBTQIA+ em ILPI. Revisão de escopo com buscas nas bases de dados AgeLine, Portal de Periódicos CAPES, SciELO, Portal USP e HeinOnline, sem limite temporal. Dos 642 artigos iniciais, 31 compõem a amostra final. Foram identificadas quatro categorias e 11 subcategorias que delimitam atores, causas, efeitos e soluções encontradas nas pesquisas. A falta de preparo das equipes das ILPI e o histórico de preconceito durante a vida leva a comunidade LGBTQIA+ a temer a institucionalização e desejar um ambiente amigável ou exclusivo. A capacitação das equipes das ILPI torna-se imprescindível, assim como a necessidade de criação de legislações de proteção a essa população com base em pesquisas populacionais e locais.

Authors: Suehara Marcelo Batista , Silva Mayara Cristina Pinto da
Published: November 2023

Abstract Airborne fungi are dispersed through the air. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of airborne fungi in Brazil and understand the relationship between fungal growth and respiratory diseases and infections. We conducted an integrative literature review of studies conducted in Brazil based on searches of the PubMed, MEDLINE-BIREME, SciELO, and LILACS databases for full-text articles published between 2000 and 2022. The searches returned 147 studies, of which only 25 met the inclusion criteria. The most prevalent genera of airborne fungi in Brazil are Aspergillus, Penicillium, Cladosporium, Curvularia, and Fusarium. The studies were conducted in the states of Maranhão, Ceará, Piauí, Sergipe, Mato Grosso, Pernambuco, Rio Grande do Sul, Santa Catarina, Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, and Minas Gerais. The findings also show the relationship between fungi and meteorological factors and seasonality, the sensitivity of atopic individuals to fungi, and the main nosocomial mycoses reported in the literature. This work demonstrates the importance of maintaining good microbiological air quality to prevent potential airborne diseases.

Abstract In Brazil, the advent of voluntary and counseling testing (VCT) has provided many benefits in the fight against AIDS. A sectional open web survey was conducted to investigate the Brazilian LGBT+ individuals’ knowledge and perceptions of the existence of VCT centers and their associations with risk behavior and other variables of interest. The study instrument included questions on sociodemographic and behavioral variables, knowledge on VCT, access to and use of it, beliefs about HIV infection, test results, and risk perception. The Risk Behavior Score for HIV infection (RBS) was also used. A total of 1,630 volunteers participated in the survey, of whom 56.8% were men. Of these, 96.1% declared themselves as (MSM). Almost 50% of the participants had never heard about the existence of VCT, which was a higher knowledge score among MSM. A low frequency of participants had a clear perception of the risks to which they are exposed, whereas those with higher RBS were aware of the existence of VCT. As VCT is critical for the implementation of policies to combat and prevent HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases, our results can contribute to a better understanding of the influence of VCT on the frequency of testing, serological surveillance, and routine counseling for key populations.

Abstract This study aimed to analyze the association between adolescents’ physical activity and the Brazilian capitals’ built and social environment. The units of analysis of this ecological study were the 26 capitals and the Federal District, with data from the National Adolescent Health Survey (2012). The outcome variable was the reported regular physical activity (PA) of ninth graders in Brazilian schools. Exposure variables included characteristics of the natural environment, socioeconomic and educational indicators, urban infrastructure, urban violence, and sociocultural factors retrieved from several secondary sources of Brazilian databases. We adopted multiple linear regression to verify the association between PA and exposure variables. The percentage of active adolescents was 33.0% (95%CI: 32.1; 33.9). In the final model, higher PA was associated with lower temperature, higher Primary Education Development Index, the higher percentage of ramps for wheelchair users, and a higher percentage of leisure-time active adults. The data show that climatic and educational factors, the infrastructure, and the social environment of the capitals can contribute to Brazilian adolescents complying with the recommended weekly PA levels.

Resumo O objetivo deste artigo é avaliar o desempenho de indicadores de saúde pré-concepcional das mulheres brasileiras em idade reprodutiva segundo as características sociodemográficas. Estudo epidemiológico e descritivo com dados de 21.645 e 25.228 mulheres que responderam à Pesquisa Nacional de Saúde de 2013 e 2019 e provenientes do DATASUS de 2010 a 2020. Estimou-se a prevalência de indicadores, segundo características sociodemográficas, e as diferenças estatísticas por meio do teste qui-quadrado de Pearson. Calculou-se a taxa de incidência dos indicadores de sífilis e HIV. Houve aumento da prevalência de indicadores que se referem ao acesso aos serviços de saúde (consultas médica, odontológica e realização de Papanicolau recente). Contudo, houve aumento da hipertensão, do consumo de álcool e da obesidade. Observou-se manutenção da prevalência do uso de contraceptivo e tratamento de fertilidade. Além disso, a taxa de incidência da sífilis aumentou sete vezes entre 2010-2020. Os resultados foram ainda piores entre mulheres de baixa escolaridade, pretas/pardas, com maior paridade e do Norte/Nordeste. Apesar do aumento no acesso aos serviços de saúde, houve piora do desempenho de indicadores de saúde pré-concepcional, e manutenção das iniquidades em saúde.

Abstract The study aims to investigate the independent association of muscle mass (MM) and bone mineral content (BMC) in the performance of the handgrip strength (HGS) test and whether there is effect modification by sex and age. In 12,491 participants from the ELSA-Brasil we estimated the associations between MM, BMC and HGS using linear regression models. All the analyses were performed for total population, also stratified for sex and age. For total population an interaction term was included between each explanatory variable of interest with sex and age to verify the presence of effect modification. We observed that the higher quintiles of MM and BMC were associated to an increasing in the mean of HGS compared to the first quintile, with greater magnitudes in men compared to women, also adults compared to elderly. When we estimated the independent effect of each exposure of interest, MM showed stronger effect in HGS in women, men and adults then BMC. In conclusion, we observed that higher amounts of MM and BMC are associated with higher HGS, regardless of sociodemographic characteristics, health conditions and lifestyle, with this effect being greater in men and adults.
Rastros do Modernismo em O perfeito cozinheiro das almas deste mundo
Authors: Rost Isis Diana
Published: November 2023

Resumo Como um objeto de arte despretensiosamente dadaísta, o diário escrito pelos frequentadores da garçonnière mantida por Oswald de Andrade em 1918 consiste num inventivo álbum de bricolagens, intercalando imagens à escrita num jogo repleto de trocadilhos. Localizamos esse livro-objeto como antecipador da linhagem multifacetária do Modernismo, através de Miss Cyclone, normalista desafiadora das normas sociais da época, explorando a estrutura antropofágica presente n’O perfeito cozinheiro das almas deste mundo. A figura enigmática de “Miss Cyclone”, ao mesmo tempo musa e autora do diário, é também sua razão de existir, e vice-versa. Somente conhecemos Cyclone através de Oswald de Andrade, mas seria possível observar e reconstruir Oswald através de Cyclone? Estudá-la implica em estudar Oswald, mas também é possível fazer o caminho inverso. A principal fonte utilizada foi o Diário da garçonnière, além de cartas e biografias.
