Entrapped Air Removal by Hydraulic Means in Gravity Water Systems in Small Diameter Pipelines
Authors: Quintana-Molina Emilio , Prado-Hernández Jorge Víctor , Monserrat-Viscarri Joaquim , Quintana-Molina José Rodolfo
Published: August 2023

Gravity water delivery systems are common around the world to transport water without the use of external energy. The systems’ inadequate design and operation tend to form entrapped air bodies in downward pipeline lengths. Entrapped air generates considerable energy losses when there are no air admission-expulsion valves or due to valve failures. Air removal by hydraulic means has been modeled under various pipeline diameters, downward slopes, and air volume conditions. However, no generic entrapped air removal models exist, and the study in small diameters (≤50 mm) is limited. Most of the models reported in the literature were obtained for diameters greater than 50 mm, presenting notorious discrepancies among each other. In this research, the entrapped air removal in small diameter pipelines was studied (12.7, 15.875, 19.05, 25.4, 31.75, and 38.1 mm), highlighting the importance of the joint study of the air bubbles’ removal by the turbulent action of a hydraulic jump downstream of an air body and the consequent removal of remaining entrapped air by a hydrodynamic thrust. Potential models were found for the air bubbles’ removal for different pipeline diameters and downward slopes. Linear relationships were found between the dimensionless air removal parameter and the pipeline’s downward slope.

Published: August 2023

Water is one of the most important resources in our lives, and because of this, the interest in water management systems is growing constantly. A primary concern regarding urban water distribution is how to build robust solutions to facilitate water monitoring flows with the support of consumer involvement. Crowdsensing solutions contribute to the involvement in social platforms for increased awareness about the importance of water resources based on incentives and rewards. Blockchain is one of the technologies that has become increasingly popular in the last few years. The possibility of using this architecture in such different sectors while integrating emerging concepts, such as crowdsensing, the Internet of Things, serious gaming, and decision support systems, offers a lot of alternatives and approaches for designing modern applications. This paper aims to present how these technologies can be combined in order to migrate the functionalities of a water distribution management system from a centralized architecture to a decentralized one by leveraging blockchain technologies. The proposed application was designed to facilitate incident reporting flows in public water distribution networks. The proposed solution was to migrate the rewarding mechanisms using the Ethereum infrastructure. The novelty of this solution is determined by the introduction of this decentralized approach into the architecture and also by increasing customer interest by offering tradeable rewards and dynamic subscription discounts. This results in a new decentralized architecture that allows for more transparent interactions between the water provider and clients and increases customer engagement to contribute to water reporting flows.
DE CICLOS DE VIDA A ITINERÁRIOS: AS VASILHAS CILÍNDRICAS TRÍPODES DE KAMINALJUYU, GUATEMALA

Published: August 2023

Este artigo busca apresentar as trajetórias das vasi- lhas cilíndricas trípodes recuperadas durante as escavações dos Montículos A e B em Kaminaljuyu, Guatemala. Partimos da metáfora presente na exposição Ciclos de Vida en Kaminaljuyu para refletir sobre teorias e métodos acerca da circulação das coisas em diferentes temporalidades, lugares e contextos his- tóricos. Nos valemos do conceito de itinerário dos objetos, ela- borado por Rosemary Joyce e Susan Gillespie, para refazer as trajetórias dessas vasilhas ao longo do tempo. Em contextos funerários no passado pré-hispânico, observamos seu uso ritual e simbólico. Do mesmo modo, buscamos perceber como esses objetos são ressignificados a partir da recuperação arqueológica e posterior musealização. Busca-se demonstrar o papel media- dor dos artefatos ao longo do tempo.

Pretendemos discutir as possibilidades que tem o historiador de utilizar em suas reflexões a Literatura como fonte histórica. Trata-se de uma relação difícil, mas possível e, sobre- tudo, prazerosa. A historiografia apela à literatura hoje mais como um registro do real, um instrumento para sua apreensão, ou ainda como sua metáfora epistemológica.
HOMENS DE PRETO: INDUMENTÁRIA E IDENTIDADE NAS REPRESENTAÇÕES ENTRE OS SÉCULOS XVII E XIX
Authors: Páscoa Márcio
Published: August 2023

Entre os séculos XVII e XIX, a profissão de músico foi assumida com exclusividade e a sua representação em pintura mostra que a ascensão de condição social e de classe foi acompanhada por hábitos de vestir que trouxeram na adoção da cor uma forte atribuição de identidade. Através da análise de situações pontuais, foi traçado aqui um breve panorama do uso da cor preta na roupa dos músicos representados em pintura e como a cor homologou os profissionais. Passando pelos músicos do Príncipe Ferdinando da Toscana, ao fim do século XVII, chegando aos icônicos Niccolo Paganini e Franz Liszt, o uso do preto parece ter se firmado como revestimento de atributos necessários a consolidar a profissão.
THEO VAN GOGH COMO MARCHAND DE IMPRESSIONISTAS
Authors: Sevilhano Martinez Felipe
Published: August 2023

Este artigo trata das atividades de Theo van Gogh, irmão do pintor Vincent van Gogh, como marchand de quadros na penúltima década do século XIX. Theo é conhecido por ser o correspondente da maior parte das cartas escritas por seu irmão. No entanto, no período em tela, o sobrenome van Gogh era associado ao comerciante de quadros e não ao artista, dada a importância de Theo para o comércio de artistas ainda não estabelecidos. Isso não significa que ele fosse um guerreiro desinteressado da arte moderna, como defendeu John Rewald em texto sobre o marchand; ao contrário, estava integrado às práticas comerciais de seu tempo. Como será mostrado neste artigo, lidar com impressionistas era também um meio de avançar em sua carreira e obter lucros.

Assessment of Thyroid Functions and its Relationship With Semen Quality in Men
Authors: Abdulhameed Luay Qasim
Published: August 2023

Introduction: In recent years, a partial relationship has been discovered between thyroid hormones and the formation of germ cells and the process of spermatogenesis. The current study aimed to assess thyroid hormone levels and the relationship between those levels and semen quality. Methods: Forty-seven infertile males, as the treatment group, and 25 healthy individuals, as the control group, were enrolled in this study. Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), triiodothyronine (T3) hormone, and tetraiodothyronine (T4) hormone were calculated, and the parameters of seminal fluid (count, motility, and morphology) were assessed for semen quality. Results: The results demonstrated that sperm counts, sperm motility%, and normal morphology% were significantly lower in the infertile male group compared with the healthy group. The results further represented a highly significant level of TSH and total T3, while the total T4 was negligible in the infertile male group in comparison with the healthy group. The infertile male group was divided into subgroups based on sperm abnormalities, including asthenozoospermia, oligozoospermia, and azoospermia. Based on the findings, there was a significant reduction in TSH, T3, and T4 levels in oligozoospermia compared with the other groups. However, the levels of TSH, T3, and T4 were significantly higher in asthenozoospermia compared with the other groups, demonstrating the existence of a relationship between thyroid indicators and Asthenozoospermia. Conclusion: Overall, the mean serum levels of TSH, T3, and T4 were significantly lower in the infertile male group compared with the healthy group. Thus, they were negatively associated with sperm counts, motility%, and normal morphology%. Hence, these negative impacts on thyroid hormones were associated with different sperm abnormalities and semen quality in the infertile males group.

Authors: Kuragayala Swarna Deepak , K2 Kalyani , Kommula Himabala
Published: August 2023

Introduction: The current study aimed to identify the electrocardiographic (ECG) changes in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients and their correlation to severity. Methods: A prospective observational study was conducted on 100 patients with COPD with expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1)<0.7. Patients were categorized according to GOLD criteria and underwent Spirometry and ECG. Results: Among the COPD cases, 40% belonged to severe airflow limitation followed by very severe (32%), moderate (22%), and mild (6%) categories. The mean forced FEV1% in mild, moderate, severe, and very severe COPD was 81.3+0.57, 63.9+6.28, 41.15±4.59, and 25.625±2.41, respectively (P<0.05). The higher risk factor for COPD is smoking in 80% with a mean pack of 20.67±6.5 years. The most ECG abnormality in COPD patients was right ventricular hypertrophy (RVH) (52%), followed by right bundle branch block (RBBB) in 40% of patients, right axis deviation (34%), P pulmonale (32%), and atrial fibrillation in 22% of COPD cases, respectively. Furthermore, there was a strong association between ECG abnormalities and COPD severity. COPD patients with a poor FEV1/FVC% ratio had more ECG abnormalities, and the ECG abnormalities were shown to be highly correlated with the severity, duration, and length of symptoms. Conclusion: COPD is a common condition in patients with a smoking history of>20 pack-years, being more common in males in their 5th decade of life. Moreover, low FEV1 values were associated with ECG abnormalities. As the duration/severity of the disease rises, ECG abnormalities become more common. To avoid cardiac mortality and morbidity, all COPD patients should undergo cardiac examination through ECG for the management of co-morbidities.

Published: August 2023

Introduction: The activation of bradykinin B1 receptors on endothelial cells in the lung following inflammation is a major cause of the severity and mortality of COVID-19. It has already been shown that bromelain and montelukast as two anti-inflammatory agents can be effective in controlling this condition. Methods: Patients with the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) referred to Masih Daneshvari hospital in Tehran were included in the study after providing full explanations and obtaining written consent. All 40 patients with moderate symptoms were randomly divided into the placebo (n=20) and intervention (n=20) groups. In the sample group, a dose of 200 mg oral bromelain was given to patients every 8 hours and one tablet of montelukast 10 mg 1 hour before or after dinner for 5 days. In the control group, placebo capsules were administered exactly at the above intervals. The results were evaluated using a t test and SPSS21 software. Results: After treatment, the sample (bromelain and montelukast) group represented significant improvements in C-reactive protein (CRP), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and lymphocyte count (P<0.05), while the other factors did not have significant differences with the control group. Conclusion: Bromelain and montelukast can improve the condition of hospitalized COVID-19 patients by the positive effect on oxygen saturation, lymphocytes, serum levels of CRP, and LDH.

Published: August 2023

Background: Health is a fundamental issue in recent years, highlighting the importance of harmonizing the policies of any sector with health strategies. The present study aims to identify the socio-economic factors affecting health and to provide a cognitive map of the social determinants of health in Iran. Study Design: A retrospective cohort study. Methods: This study follows a developmental process with an exploratory sequential mixed methods approach. First, a meta-synthesis qualitative method determines the most critical health determinants by reviewing 54 studies from 2000 to 2019. Then, the fuzzy cognitive map (FCM) is drawn based on interviews with six experts to derive the causal relationships among the social determinants of population health in Iran. Results: Stage 1 introduces 170 factors as the health determinants, classified into four levels: individual, local, national, and global levels, with 7, 4, 13, and 3 branches, respectively. According to the causal relationships and the out-degree (od) index, the most effective factors are the economic system (18.24), governance and policy-making (17.13), and national policies (16.93). According to the degree of centrality, these factors are the economic system (33.27), health system (30.37), and governance and policy-making (30.15). Conclusion: Considering health as a complex and comprehensive system, the resulting FCM displays that the policies developed in other sectors than health are profoundly affecting population’s health in Iran. Specifically, the comparative analysis of this research shows that policies regarding the economic system and people’s livelihood are more effective than the policies regarding the health system itself on the population’s health in Iran.

Authors: Heidarimoghadam Rashid , Mohammadi Younes , Kordi Ramin
Published: August 2023

Background: This study aimed to investigate the effects of biopsychosocial interventions on non-specific chronic low back pain (NSCLBP) and disabilities caused by it among Students. Study Design: A two-group pretest-posttest randomized clinical trial. Methods: The statistical population of the study was female students enrolled at the first-stage secondary school in Hamadan, Iran. A total of 200 students were selected through cluster sampling and randomized into two groups of intervention and control. The primary evaluation was performed by the Cornell Musculoskeletal Discomfort Questionnaire (CMDQ), the Health-Related Quality of Life (SF-36), the International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form (IPAQ-S), the World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule (WHODAS), and the visual analogue scale (VAS). Upon developing and implementing the biopsychosocial model-based interventions for ten weekly two-hour sessions, the secondary evaluation was fulfilled, and the extracted data were analyzed using the IBM SPSS version 21. Results: The independent-group t-test results revealed that the mean scores of quality of life (QOL) and physical activity significantly elevated in the intervention group, compared to the control. In addition, the mean value of disabilities, the amount of disorder in the lumbar region, and the VAS scores in the intervention group substantially declined compared to the control group. Conclusion: The significant variations in the biopsychosocial factors demonstrated that the development of some interventions based on the bio-psychosocial model (BPSM) could help manage the NSCLBP and its ensuing disabilities. Therefore, the BPSM-based interventions could be exploited to minimize musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) in students.

Published: August 2023

Background: Traditional meta-analyses often assess the effectiveness of different doses of the same intervention separately or examine the overall differences between intervention and placebo groups. The present study aimed to model the effect sizes obtained from different doses in multiple studies using a two-stage dose-response meta-analytic approach while taking dose variations into account. Methods: Different dose-response meta-analysis models using linear, quadratic, and restricted cubic spline (RCS) functions were fitted. A two-stage approach utilizing multivariate meta-analysis was performed and the obtained results were compared with those of the univariate meta-analysis. A random effect dose-response meta-analysis was performed using data from an existing systematic review on combination therapy with zonisamide and anti-Parkinson drugs for Parkinson’s disease. The effective or optimum dose for producing maximum response was also investigated. Moreover, a sensitivity analysis was performed by changing the knots of the RCS model. Results: Dose-response meta-analysis was performed using data from four double-blinded randomized controlled trials with 724 and 309 patients with Parkinson’s disease in dose and placebo arms, respectively. The quadratic model yielded the smallest Akaike information criterion (AIC), compared to the linear and RCS models, indicating it to be the best fit for the data. Conclusion: Compared to the traditional approach, the two-stage approach could model the dose-dependent effect of zonisamide on the Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale (UPRDS) part III score and predict the outcome for different doses through a single analysis.
Problematic Internet, Smartphone, and SMS Use among Adults: Shared and Unique Predictors
Authors: Kalaitzaki Argyroula , Laconi Stéphanie , Tsouvelas George
Published: August 2023

Background: Although a surge of interest has recently emerged in investigating the simultaneous problematic use of various technology-based tools, the findings are still inconclusive. The present web-based survey aimed at examining whether (a) personality traits, coping strategies, and sociodemographics are associated with problematic internet, smartphone, and SMS use among Greek users and (b) personality traits mediate the relationship between maladaptive coping strategies and problematic use of the three media. Study Design: A cross-sectional study. Methods: A convenience and snowball sample of 1016 participants (84.4% female, mean age of 30.3 years) completed the Problematic Internet Use Questionnaire-9 (PIUQ-9), the Mobile Phone Problem Use Scale (MPPUS), the Self-Perception of Text Message Dependency Scale (STDS), the Personality Diagnostic Questionnaire 4+(PDQ-4+), and the Brief Coping Orientation to Problems Experienced Inventory (Brief COPE). Results: Shared predictors between problematic use of the three technology-based tools were younger age and low educational level, the coping strategy of substance use, and the narcissistic, avoidant, and dependent personality disorders. Predictors of problematic internet and smartphone use were coping strategies of emotional support, self-distraction, and behavioral disengagement. According to structural equation models (SEM) models, cluster C personality disorders fully mediate the relationship between maladaptive coping strategies and problematic use of technology-based tools. Conclusion: Addressing factors that predispose (i.e., personality traits), precipitate, or maintain problematic use (i.e., coping strategies) can lead to effective and cost-saving preventive (i.e., screening of vulnerable groups) and therapeutic efforts (i.e., teaching adaptive coping strategies).

Published: August 2023

Background: Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are a source of airborne bacterial contamination that can pose health risks to staff. The aim of this study was to evaluate seasonal variations in the health risks of exposure to Staphylococcus aureus bioaerosols using the quantitative microbial risk assessment (QMRA) approach in a WWTP in Hamadan, Iran. Study Design: This was a descriptive cross-sectional study. Methods: This study determined the emission concentrations of S. aureus bioaerosols in summer and winter. Then, the health risks of three exposure scenarios (the worker, field engineer, and laboratory technician) were evaluated using the QMRA approach. The bioaerosol samples were collected every 12 days in both summer and winter of 2021 with a nutrient agar using a single-stage cascade impactor (Quick Take 30, SKC Inc.) in both outdoor and indoor environments. Results: The results demonstrated that in both seasons, S. aureus bioaerosol concentrations in outdoor and indoor environments were below the standard established by the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (500 CFU/m3 ). While in summer, the annual infection risks and the disease burden for the three exposure scenarios in both outdoor and indoor environments were higher than the United States Environmental Protection Agency (≤10-4 pppy) and the World Health Organization (WHO) (≤10-6 DALYs pppy-1) benchmarks, respectively. Conclusion: The findings provided high health risks for staff in the three exposure scenarios of an indoor environment, which should not be ignored, as well as emphasizing the use of the QMRA approach to estimate health risks caused by occupational exposure to bioaerosols and taking executive measures to protect staff working in the WWTPs.
How tocontrol AI technology-based electronic surveillance in criminal procedure
Authors:   The Korean Association of Criminal Procedure Law, Kim Han-Kyun
Published: August 2023

This study examines the necessity and direction of legal control and human rights protection as electronic surveillance tools in criminal proceedings are expanded based on artificial intelligence technology from a policy and institutional perspective. In particular, the need for control and the search for ways to realize the enhancement of the quality of surveillance contents due to the technological advancement of electronic surveillance techniques should be newly emphasized. The need for criminal procedure control comes from the rule of law, and the direction of control should be to ensure the human rights of citizens. Legal control, including criminal law, should include the improvement of existing relevant legal systems and legislative policies to respond to new problems. As the current electronic surveillance system evolves into an expanded combination of location-tracking electronic devices and fixed video information processing devices (CCTV) as tools for electronic surveillance, the enhanced electronic surveillance system based on artificial intelligence technology will inevitably result in the challenge of reasonable and effective legal and institutional control. The expansion of electronic surveillance tools in criminal proceedings based on A.I. technology should not only reevaluate its effectiveness but also review its legitimacy, as the effectiveness of A.I. technology is overestimated while its risks are underestimated, and it is rapidly being introduced into reality. The urgency is evident in the fact that the expansion of electronic surveillance has not been met with the same level of prudence that has been exercised in the past in relation to drug, sexual violence, and terrorism offenses, as fantasies and expectations of advanced technology can undermine the boundaries of human rights in criminal justice more than fears of crime or the need for safety.
The Current Picture of the American Grand Jury System and Proposals for Its Reform
Authors:   The Korean Association of Criminal Procedure Law, Park Hyungkwan
Published: August 2023

Rendering the right decision in the investigation and indictment procedure is pivotal in achieving criminal justice. To that end, all nations by various means seek to accomplish this goal. Examples of this would include nations endowing exclusive charging authorities to the prosecutor while others allow lay citizens to participate in the actual procedure. Citizen participation always carries the risk of undermining the efficacy of the criminal justice system but it can also facilitate the average citizen's understanding of and increase trust in the system. Historically, the grand jury has been the institution by which citizens can play an active role in the investigation and charging process. Beginning in the colonial period, the American grand jury protected the citizen's right in investigation and charging procedure and served as a check on the validity and efficacy of public functions. Despite much doubt regarding the objectivity of the grand jury as a mere organ of the prosecution as well as concern about its efficiency, its role has for the most part proved to be positive. The grand jury by taking part in the actual investigation and then deciding whether or not to indict has been a check on the power of the police and prosecution in major cases. In the United States the grand jury operates in different forms. Some jurisdictions require grand jury indictments for felonies while others make them optional. In addition, there are many variations among jurisdictions in ensuring procedural rights in grand jury procedures. However, basic procedures such as beginning an investigation by way of subpoena and reaching indictment decisions through jury deliberations remain common. In the United States, the necessity for grand jury reform such as enhancing jury independence and ensuring procedural rights of the witness and defendant have long been and continues to be proposed. The mere separation of investigative power from charging power can hinder efforts in achieving criminal justice goals. Using the American model as a base for our nation, it would be expedient to allow for different organizations to exercise these powers independently. Furthermore, policies in which citizens can take on decisive roles in the investigation and charging process must be established and efforts to improve continue. By careful study of the various grand jury models in the United States, Korea has a good foundation in which to develop a grand jury model that would be most suitable to our nation. Specifically a model that would allow for optional grand jury indictments and where procedural rights are ensured.
Wolfgang Sartorius von Waltershausen, geologo mitteleuropeo alla scoperta dei segreti dell'Etna in un'opera postuma, redatta con il contributo di Arnold von Lasaulx
Authors: Cristofolini Renato
Published: August 2023

Con riferimento alla traduzione italiana in corso di preparazione dell’opera “Der Aetna” redatta in base ai manoscritti di Wolfgang Sartorius von Waltershausen, profondamente rivisti e integrati da Arnold von Lasaulx, vengono riportate alcune considerazioni sul suo significato, relativamente allo sviluppo delle conoscenze scientifiche sull’Etna e sulle regioni circostanti al tempo della sua pubblicazione nel 1880, nonché sulla sua attualità. Nei due volumi è raccolta una “summa” delle conoscenze sulla regione etnea ed sulle aree limitrofe, basata sulla raccolta di osservazioni e risultati sperimentali, ottenuti da Sartorius fino alla morte in un arco di tempo di oltre 40 anni (1835-1876), integrati in seguito da v. Lasaulx e interpretati alla luce degli allora più recenti sviluppi di indagini e teorie nei campi della fisica, della chimica, della geologia, e delle discipline, tra cui la vulcanologia, che da queste si stavano originando nel XIX secolo. Il quadro che ne risulta è assolutamente originale, per quanto attiene alla complessa struttura dell’edificio vulcanico ed alla sua evoluzione, allo sviluppo nel tempo e nello spazio delle singole manifestazioni eruttive, alla caratterizzazione dei vari prodotti, sia in base a osservazioni sul campo che a dati analitici in laboratorio. L’opera riveste tuttora una significativa importanza come fonte di dati, basati su osservazioni dirette e su notizie ricavate anche da scritti oggi difficilmente reperibili.

Published: August 2023

Effective teaching and special education programming should be informed by scientific research published in peer-reviewed journals. However, many peer-reviewed articles, including how-to articles based on research findings in practitioner-focused journals, are not freely accessible to instructional coaches, department chairs, special education administrators, special education teachers, families of students with disabilities, and other interested individuals, creating a significant obstacle to informing practice with research findings. Fortunately, the number of peer-reviewed articles that are openly accessible on the internet is growing. In this article, we describe types of peer-reviewed articles, discuss different types of open-access publishing, and provide a six-step approach for accessing open-access publications.

A infância é o período crucial para o desenvolvimento humano, onde as brincadeiras vivenciadas por crianças nos espaços públicos de lazer contribuem para o seu desenvolvimento físico, cognitivo e social. Mas, a problemática da pandemia da COVID-19 acarretou o distanciamento da população a esses espaços, resultando em uma nova configuração de vivenciar o brincar. O estudo tem como objetivo, registrar as características e singularidades da vivência cotidiana de jogos e brincadeiras por crianças em praças e parques públicos da cidade de Vitória de Santo Antão durante a flexibilização das medidas de restrições impostas pela pandemia da COVID-19. Através de um estudo exploratório descritivo, analítico. Foi possível observar que o comportamento do brincar estava atrelado à utilização dos equipamentos de lazer infantil presentes nas praças, e a pandemia da COVID-19, não atrapalhou de forma significativa esta ação.
História do Esporte no Ensino Superior Brasileiro de 1905 a 1930
Authors: Pessoa Vitor Lucas de Faria
Published: August 2023

O objetivo desta pesquisa é elaborar uma análise histórica de como ocorreu o desenvolvimento do fenômeno esportivo no interior das instituições de ensino superior no Brasil de 1905 até 1930. Busca-se, a partir disso, relacionar a esfera esportiva com as transformações mais amplas que ocorriam no país ao longo do período que condiz com a vigência da Primeira República. Para tanto, foram utilizados documentos e periódicos datados entre 1905 e 1930. As fontes foram coletadas no acervo da Biblioteca Nacional do Rio de Janeiro através da Hemeroteca Digital Brasileira. Ao todo foram analisadas 2.094 ocorrências sobre o esporte no interior das instituições de ensino superior no país no recorte temporal proposto pela pesquisa. Os documentos e fontes são provenientes de vários estados brasileiros, dentre eles Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Minas Gerais, Santa Catarina, Pernambuco, Pará, Rio Grande do Sul e Paraná. Como perspectiva teórica partimos das discussões sobre a História Cultural e a Teoria do Associativismo. Com relação aos resultados da pesquisa, concluímos que o associativismo foi o principal fator que contribuiu para a sistematização do fenômeno esportivo nas escolas de ensino superior, nas três primeiras décadas do século XX. Além disso, os processos desencadeados pela modernidade (urbanização, industrialização, comercialização) impactaram o desenvolvimento do esporte acadêmico no país, mas cumpriram um papel secundário se comparado ao "capital associativo". O esporte acadêmico cumpriu um papel importante na difusão de práticas corporais como o futebol, o voleibol, o atletismo, o xadrez, o polo aquático, a esgrima e o basquetebol no Brasil. Por fim, diferente do que ocorreu com o esporte universitário a partir da década de 1930, o esporte acadêmico observado nas três primeiras décadas do século XX, não sofreu uma interferência direta do Estado, seja do poder executivo ou das instâncias legislativas, o que reafirma a importância do associativismo civil para analisarmos a emergência histórica deste fenômeno cultural.

O objetivo geral do estudo foi analisar de que maneira o processo de modernização dialogou com a dança presente nos clubes sociais da cidade do Salvador. Como objetivos específicos buscou mapear os clubes sociais em que a dança se fez presente na época, destacando seus aspectos históricos e suas principais características; identificar as manifestações culturais dançantes presentes nos diferentes clubes sociais da capital baiana no período de tempo estabelecido na pesquisa; e discutir as relações entre as danças presentes nos diferentes clubes da cidade do Salvador e os aspectos culturais da população soteropolitana. Para a obtenção dos dados, debruçou sobre alguns dos periódicos em circulação à época, dentre eles os jornais “A Capital”, “O Imparcial”, “Gazeta de Notícias”, “Etc - BA”, “O Combate”, “A Notícia” e o Jornal “A Tarde”. O recorte temporal da pesquisa compreendeu os anos entre 1912 e 1935. Este recorte se deu, inicialmente, por este período apresentar dois marcos de ideários de modernidade relevantes. O ano de 1912 foi escolhido como início da investigação por ser marco introdutório de um projeto de modernização da cidade do Salvador que proporcionou diversas mudanças na estrutura urbana e consequentemente nos hábitos de vida sociocultural da população. Já o ano de 1935 foi escolhido como delimitador final da investigação por ser um marco importante na agenda modernista baiana, com a realização da Semana de Urbanismo, promovendo à população outro espaço-tempo no que se refere à visão urbanística e as consequências dela nos aspectos socioculturais de quem vivia na capital baiana. Logo, foi possível identificar a presença marcante de diferentes danças em alguns dos clubes também identificados como importantes espaços de convivência social e cultural dos soteropolitanos e das pessoas que moravam na cidade do Salvador. Neste sentido, pode inferir, através de diferentes manifestações dançantes, as consequências sociais e culturais advindas dos ideários de modernidade e civilidade que marcaram as primeiras décadas do século XX na cidade do Salvador, muitas vezes expressas nos elementos simbólicos presentes no cotidiano da elite soteropolitana e da população em geral.
Algumas reflexões sobre as Ciências do Estado
Authors: Vargas João Protásio Farias Domingues de
Published: August 2023

O presente texto tem como fi nalidade de fazer algumas colocações sobre a necessidade de se pensar o curso bacharelado em Ciências do Estado, da Faculdade de Direito, da UFMG, não apenas em seus aspectos fenomenológicos ou práticos, mas, principalmente, em termos dos fundamentos teóricos das próprias condições de possibilidades científi cas do tratamento do Estado como objeto, proposto pela ideia de Ciências do Estado. O debate proposto tem duas linhas de argumentações. A primeira abrange a existência institucional do curso e seu projeto político-pedagógico, as origens históricas e teóricas do Curso, e suas perspectivas de futuro. A segunda parte trata da necessidade de determinar quais são as ciências do Estado, da determinação do seu elenco e do processo prático de criação de uma nova ciência social aplicada.
Percepção discente sobre metodologias de ensino na graduação do curso de Ciências do Estado da UFMG (2009-2013)

O Curso de Ciências do Estado resultou da adesão da Faculdade de Direito da Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais ao Programa de Apoio ao Plano de Reestruturação e Expansão das Universidades Federais (REUNI). Criado em 2009, tem como objetivo a formação de profi ssionais com conhecimento amplo do funcionamento da estrutura estatal como também capacidade para liderar e planejar políticas públicas com visão humanística. Em seu Projeto Pedagógico de Curso adotou o seminário como metodologia de ensino/aprendizagem, com a fi nalidade de estimular o diálogo crítico e a produção do conhecimento de forma cooperativa entre estudantes e professores. O presente trabalho analisou a preferência dos discentes sobre a utilização de várias metodologias de ensino/aprendizagem no curso de Ciências de Estado. Foi realizada pesquisa bibliográfi ca e participante, além da aplicação de questionário aos discentes. Na análise das respostas do questionário foi possível perceber que na visão dos alunos entrevistados, especifi camente quanto a metodologia de seminário, esta não foi a metodologia mais apreciada, por muitas vezes não ser aplicada como metodologia de ensino, e sim como método avaliativo. Mesm o assim, esta metodologia foi considerada importante para desenvolver as habilidades necessárias para a formação do cientista do estado.
fascismo através do prisma gramsciano
Authors: Machado Marília Gabriella
Published: August 2023

O que este texto pretende abordar é a concepção de fascismo nos escritos pré-carcerários de Antonio Gramsci. Para isto é necessário compreender o conceito de fascismo e de hegemonia, ambos trabalhados pelo jovem sardo nos textos de juventude e militância. O contexto italiano de guerra imperialista é de grande importância para perscrutar o objeto em análise e ressaltar sua importância e atualidade.

O petróleo e a governança energética global
Authors: Natalino Enrique Carlos
Published: August 2023

O artigo se propõe a analisar a problemática do petróleo e as suas múltiplas implicações para a governança global contemporânea. O petróleo é mais o estratégico insumo energético do planeta, capaz de levar as nações a alcançar a prosperidade ou até a conflitos armados. Seria possível pensar numa aproximação entre a gestão do petróleo na cena internacional e as discussões mais amplas acerca da concepção de espaços internacionais mais horizontais, participativos e democráticos? Nessa direção, o artigo busca investigar a trajetória do petróleo como commodity energética mundial e o seu impacto na economia e na política contemporâneas. A hipótese do trabalho é que a governança petrolífera mundial nas primeiras duas décadas do século XXI tem sido baseada não apenas em regras de mercado, nacionalismo e cálculos realistas de poder, mas em possibilidades efetivas de cooperação internacional e de ganhos mútuos.
O desfecho de Caleb Williams
Authors: Silva Peterson Roberto da
Published: August 2023

William Godwin escreveu o romance gótico Things as They Are; or, the Adventures of Caleb Williams (“As Coisas como Elas São; ou, as Aventuras de Caleb Williams”, em tradução livre) em 1794 para disseminar suas ideias filosóficas e políticas. Inicio o artigo revisando a literatura para demonstrar como sua teoria influenciou tanto sua decisão de escrever ficções quanto o tipo de ficção que ele escreveu, mostrando como o autor usou e inovou convenções do gênero gótico para transmitir suas ideias para um público mais amplo. Então comparo duas perspectivas divergentes na literatura quanto à maneira como suas narrativas influenciaram suas ideias políticas e filosóficas, em particular a partir de comentários acerca do significado e do impacto de mudanças de última hora ao desfecho de Caleb Williams. Argumento que essa relação ambígua entre narrativa e política na obra de Godwin é relevante para reflexões políticas contemporâneas sobre a relação entre representação e ação política, ou como narrativas sobre a condição humana e realidades políticas podem afetas as ideias, atitudes e relações sociais de seus narradores.
