Kon(tekst) instytucjonalnej zmiany
Authors: Szczepkowski Jacek
Published: January 2023

Przedmiotem tego artykułu są refleksje dotyczące funkcjonowania warsztatów terapii zajęciowej (WTZ) jako przestrzeni umożliwiającej zmiany funkcjonowania osób z niepełno(sprawnością). Opracowanie zawiera wskazania do optymalizacji działalności praktycznej, ukierunkowanej na świadome tworzenie kontekstu służącego zmianie i rozwojowi jednostek. Ważnym elementem takich oddziaływań wydaje się być proces „sygnifikacji”, czyli nadawania znaczeń doświadczeniom jednostek będących podmiotem różnorodnych oddziaływań o charakterze edukacyjnym, wychowawczym czy też terapeutycznym. Istotą owego procesu jest kreowanie konstruktywnych narracji, opowieści dotyczących określonych sytuacji wychowawczych.
Wzrost świadomości personelu co do ważności i zasadności tworzenia przestrzeni semiotycznej do nadawania konstruktywnych znaczeń doświadczeniom uczestników WTZ.
Trapped in Silence. Vladas Šimkus – a Silent Modernizer of Lithuanian Poetry
Authors: Tabor Joanna
Published: January 2023

The article introduces the fi gure of Vladas Šimkus (1936–2004), who had a great impact on the
work of many poets of his time, although he himself remained in the shadows. He belongs to
a prominent poetic generation, which also includes Vytautas Bložė, Marcelijus Martinaitis, Tomas
Venclova, Judita Vaičiūnaitė, Jonas Juškaitis and Sigitas Geda, but he is mostly known as an outstanding
translator and editor. Many great Lithuanian poets admit that Šimkus has infl uenced them,
but he is a rather forgotten poet. One of the most important elements of Šimkus’s poetics is silence,
the meanings and functions of which can be analyzed on several levels and in different contexts.
Trust in the Superior: The Opinions of Representatives of Generation Z
Authors: Wasiluk Anna , Tomaszuk Anna
Published: January 2023

Four generations of workers are presently active on the contemporary labor market: Baby Boomers, X, Y, and Z. Representatives of the individual generations have different approaches to work and they have a different understanding of development, loyalty, and dedication to work and the organization. Generation Z is just entering the labor market. For this reason it is difficult to predict just what kind of workers they will be and exactly how the managerial staff will face this challenge. The aim of the article is a comparison of the opinions of respondents from Generation Z from Poland, Spain, and Turkey regarding trust in their immediate superior. The following scientific hypotheses have been forwarded: H1 – Trust in the immediate superior is linked to the nationality of the respondent. H2 – Trust in the immediate superior is linked to the sex of the respondent. Analysis of the conducted research makes it possible to state that nationality differentiates the opinion regarding trust in the immediate superior as well as its level. In contrast, no statistically significant difference was noted with respect to view on trust in the immediate superior as being dependent on the sex of the respondent.

CODE-MIXING ANALYSIS IN THE NOVEL A VERY YUPPY WEDDING
Authors: Sentana Aswarini
Published: January 2023

This is sociolinguistic research that analyzes code-switching occurrences in the Indonesian novel entitled A Very Yuppy Wedding. The aims of this research are to discover the types of code-switching and the factors that influence code-switching in the studied novel. The researcher in conducting this research used a descriptive qualitative method which is done through library research. The results of this research show that the types of code-switching in the conversation contained in the novel are intasentential switching, inter-sentential switching, and emblematic switching. Meanwhile, the factors that influence code-switching in the novel conversation are participant roles and relationships, situational factors, message intrinsic factors, and language attitudes, dominance, and security. This research found that inter-sentential switching dominates the types of code-switching in the novel. The characters often switch their language mostly because of language attitude, dominance, and security. It means that code-switching is viewed positively so that people tend to code-switch in their daily communication, and the switching is smooth.

Johann Scheibe
Authors: Butler Lynn Edwards
Published: January 2023

This book is about the life and work of Johann Scheibe (1680–1748), a colleague of J.S. Bach and one of Saxony's most prominent and interesting organ builders. Scheibe built and renovated organs, primarily in Leipzig, for some forty years. Six chapters are devoted to Scheibe's new organs, which ranged from small organs in village churches to the sumptuous, 54-stop organ in the St. Paul's Church at Leipzig University; the creation of these organs is discussed, as are the organs' characteristics and how they compare with organs built by contemporaries. One chapter discusses Scheibe's renovations of the organs in Leipzig's principal churches of St. Thomas's, St. Nicholas's, St. Paul's, and the New Church. Two chapters deal with Scheibe's biography and work in general and his daily work as an organ builder – tuning and repairing organs, submitting proposals – in particular. An introductory chapter describes Leipzig and its organs at the time when Bach and Scheibe first met in 1717 and the concluding chapter provides an assessment of their relationship. The book draws on recent research, most of it by the author, to answer three basic questions: What contribution did Scheibe make to early eighteenth-century organ building? What relationship did Scheibe have to J.S. Bach? What were the organs in Leipzig like during the twenty-seven years that Bach worked in the city?
Building the Organ for St. Paul’s
Authors: Butler Lynn Edwards
Published: January 2023

This chapter describes Scheibe's rebuild and expansion of the organ in St. Paul's Church, Leipzig University. The renovation—essentially construction of a new organ—began inadvertently in September 1710 and was carried out in spite of a competing proposal from Gottfried Silbermann to build a “perfect new instrument.” Scheibe's skill and devotion, the unshakeable commitment to the project by organist Daniel Vetter and rector Johann Burkhard Mencke, and a generous gift from professor Gottlieb Gerhard Titius resulted in the organ's completion in 1716. The organ—Scheibe's magnum opus-was successfully examined by J.S. Bach the following year. Vetter reported that Bach praised the organ's “rare, newly invented stops.”
Disposition and Tonal Character of the St. Paul’s Organ
Authors: Butler Lynn Edwards
Published: January 2023

This chapter deals with the make-up of the 3-manual, 54-stop organ built by Johann Scheibe in 1710–16 for Leipzig University's St. Paul's Church. The organ's disposition—the list of stops, divisions, number of keyboards, etc.—was first recorded in 1718 by Leipzig historian Christoph Ernst Sicul and appeared also in several contemporary sources, all of which are described in this chapter. The tonal character of each division is explored, with emphasis on plenum and solo combinations and the presence of unusual, newly employed stops (such as the Viol di Gamba). Comparisons are made with organs and organ stops built by, among others, Casparini, Contius, Silbermann, Hildebrandt, and Trost.
Toward a Mormon Womanist Theology of Abundance
Authors: Kline Caroline
Published: January 2023

The chapter constructs a framework for a Mormon womanist theology of abundance based on the theological reflections of Mormon women in Botswana, Mexico, and the United States. These reflections are centered in a worldview in which God's love is vast and focused on human wholeness and well-being, spiritual powers are highly developed, and healthy connectedness with self and others is imperative. Based on the methodology of womanist theology and ethics, this chapter suggests other sources that could contribute to this theology of abundance, such as the writings of Mormon Relief Society leader Chieko Okazaki and the scriptural figure of Mary, mother of Jesus.
The Fundamental Institution
Authors: Birk Megan
Published: January 2023

The use of almshouses to shelter the impoverished was common across the United States because relief was the responsibility of local areas, and local officials oversaw, with little state interference, the operation of their institutions. This book explores the most common type: poor farms. These publicly funded facilities paired a farm with an institution to save money on supplies while acting as an investment for counties. After the Civil War, poor farms increased because of the industrializing economy, economic downturns, and a growing population.The most common type of poor farm housed fewer than 100 people, who were provided shelter, food, and health care, and in return did light work if they were able. Working for care was not a condition of admission, nor were there means tests. Unlike penitentiaries or reformatories, poor farms often resembled large families headed by a superintendent and matron. People used them situationally as needed and often arrived and left under their own volition. Men and women, young and old, disabled and nondisabled people experienced poor farm life differently based both their own needs and the conditions of the institution itself, which varied widely. Poor farm populations were more likely to be elderly men than younger woman. As agriculture industrialized, farms became less efficient components of institutions while the healthcare needs of residents increased dramatically, rendering the poor farm obsolete.
The Poor Farm and Mental Health Care
Authors: Birk Megan
Published: January 2023

Despite efforts to remove intellectually disabled and mentally ill people from poor farms, states lacked enough institutional space. Poor farms could be unhealthy and isolating places housing these residents in separate outbuildings, attics, or basements where they received no specialized treatment. There were not enough employees to provide supervision or care. Reformers and supporters of eugenics unjustly targeted poor farms as sites that encouraged the reproduction of the poor and disabled. Some intellectually disabled people and those with mental illnesses found poor farms safe spaces, which allowed them to work on tasks suited to their abilities. A few states, including Wisconsin, encouraged entirely separate asylums on poor farm property as a way to use asylums residents to labor on the farms.
Labor Sweated Here
Authors: O’Brassill-Kulfan Kristin
Published: January 2023

Paterson, New Jersey, is home to deep industrial and labor histories that have acted as a guiding force in the city's social and cultural history. However, since the mid-twentieth century, deindustrialization has left many of its communities with little capital or confidence. At sites such as the American Labor Museum/Botto House National Landmark and Paterson Great Falls National Historical Park, Paterson's public historians, cultural sector workers, and residents address this cognitive dissonance directly by foregrounding the city's labor history, emphasizing workers’ experiences and decisions from the eighteenth century to the present, and both, directly and indirectly, considering the impact the city’s relationship with capitalism has had on its residents.
“Reaching Through the Wound to Connect”
Authors: Zaytoun Kelli D.
Published: January 2023

Chapter 4, “‘Reaching Through the Wound to Connect’: Trauma and Healing as Shapeshifting,” explains how the site of trauma/susto is the place from which most of Anzaldúa’s writing projects begin and a place that holds potential for initiating subjective and decolonial agency. Considering texts themselves as participants in teotl, or sacred energy, the chapter asserts that the relationship among writer, text, and reader reveals a shapeshifting, shamanic journey that has the potential to transform and decolonize the senses, knowing, expression, and being. This process is situated in Anzaldúa’s theorizing but also in Walter Mignolo and Rolando Vazquez’s “decolonial aestheSis” and Emma Pérez’s “will to feel.” A breadth of Anzaldúa’s work is explored but the víbora/snake as naguala and key to the creative process is the focus of the chapter.
Introduction
Authors: Moser Patrick
Published: January 2023

The popular image of California beaches as a place of fun and excitement was first established as a marketing venture in 1907 when mixed-raced Native Hawaiian George Freeth was hired to give surfing exhibitions in western Los Angeles. When Freeth joined a local volunteer lifeguard program, his instruction of surfing, swimming, and lifeguarding helped change how Southern Californians perceived the beach because of the persistent problem of drowning. Freeth’s sense of beach culture, drawn from his Native Hawaiian roots, always included women, whom he taught to swim, row, dive, and surf. Though he led an itinerant and often impoverished life because coastal communities did not support year-round lifeguard service, Freeth’s legacy continues to benefit millions of people around the world.
A New Beginning in San Diego
Authors: Moser Patrick
Published: January 2023

Freeth’s arrival in San Diego sparked excitement for swimming’s prospects and the hope that he might raise the visibility of the growing city, which often felt overshadowed by Los Angeles. Freeth gave private swim lessons at the local bathhouse, Los Banos, and surfed on weekends off Coronado Island, La Jolla, and Del Mar. Similar to his impact on Los Angeles beach culture, Freeth gave surfing exhibitions, which encouraged locals to enjoy the ocean. He also gave lifesaving demonstrations at public gatherings. He helped develop aquaplaning—an early form of wakeboarding—in San Diego Harbor. His contract at the San Diego Rowing Club was not renewed in September 1916, so Freeth picked up odd jobs until he was hired for the summer of 1917 at Coronado Tent City.
Class and Race in the Interwar Years
Authors: Castillo Thomas A.
Published: January 2023

This chapter argues that Miami functioned as a factory that produced an urban tropical experience, and it explores the physical construction of the city and landscape and the consumer experiences of consumption, recreation, and leisure. It traces the city’s migration and early social history and notes how boosters packaged the city as the winter playground for the country’s rich. The chapter centers the history of precarity and how this dynamic was subsumed by heroic narratives of economic prosperity and the tragic history of racism. The working class faced housing shortages and had few job options under the enduring disciplinary social control of Jim Crow racism and labor competition. The city’s migration history and the predominance of tourism created an insecure economic environment for the working class.
Fighting for Social Harmony
Authors: Castillo Thomas A.
Published: January 2023

The chapter explores Miami’s class history as revealed in the inadequate local, state, and national welfare system and the national and local context that sparked the unemployed to action, offering a general outline of this activism. The local stingy welfare relief (restricted to the “worthy unemployed”) and continuing economic depression set the context for the rise of the Dade County Unemployed Citizen’s League (DCUCL). The chapter establishes the historical context of the DCUCL in relation to similar organizing efforts in other parts of the country. It links the DCUCL to the AFL’s Labor Citizenship Committee, a branch of the Central Labor Union open to union and nonunion residents of the city. It discusses the nature of the DCUCL’s ideas, activism, and local initiatives.
The South in Your Mouth?
Authors: Harris Deborah A. , Phillips Rachel
Published: January 2023

This chapter examines how upscale biscuit restaurants perform an authentic Southern identity in their premises, menus, and online presences—including websites and Instagram accounts. Six biscuit-focused restaurants in the southern United States are analyzed. These restaurants walked a fine line between an Old South ethos marked by tradition and southern hospitality—that nonetheless often failed to acknowledge the contributions of African American women—and a New South where multiculturalism and local food is applauded. This chapter adds to the research literature by examining how a relatively new social media platform is used in the creation and re-creation of “authentic” food.
My Life and Labor as an Instagram Influencer Turned Instagram Scholar
Authors: Hysmith KC
Published: January 2023

This chapter examines the personal, political, and professional intersections of being Instafamous. Influencers cultivate forms of celebrity capital and contrived authenticity through their social platforms. Their efforts can also be interpreted as acts of feminist collaboration and subversive resistance to commodity culture—especially for women who have been historically and systemically disenfranchised through traditional capitalist economies. Through a combination of personal reflections, digital ethnographic observations, and cultural critique, this chapter considers how and why the presence and labor of Instagram influencers and the Instafamous has become ubiquitous in the world of food.
Introduction
Authors: Moore Paul , Gabriele Sandra
Published: January 2023

Subscriptions enhanced the economic success of the Sunday paper by helping to produce expert reading subjects. In the 1880s, new forms of journalism organized readers' mass engagement through fundraising for charitable and civic causes. The reformist impulse spawned undercover reports by women journalists, while techniques for engagement became popularity contests and guessing games. Both were key features of Sunday papers. New forms of newspaper reading such as these contests and games, complete with prizes and giveaways, which were instrumental in coordinating readers' sense of connection to wider cultural events. In New York, The Morning Journal and The Recorder launched novel forms of Sunday art supplements. The promotional tactic was borrowed from trade-card advertising to facilitate brand loyalty, a simple technology shaping readers into consumers. Collecting series of supplements and clipping coupons encouraged readers not to treat Sunday papers as disposable, but instead parts of cultural and consumer life that could gain value if saved. Clipping, amassing and mailing in coupons for art supplements transformed newspaper subscriptions into social relations with all variety of mass leisure and consumption. Sunday supplements demonstrated how daily newspapers were incomplete. Sunday papers extended the work of daily newspapers into new domains of modern life.
The “Continuous Performance Extra” of Popular Leisure
Authors: Moore Paul , Gabriele Sandra
Published: January 2023

Syndicated Sunday comics and magazine supplements, filled with national brand advertising, reached a truly national, nearly simultaneous readership. Through syndication, small regional papers could provide the same features as big city Sunday papers. To maintain their edge, metropolitan Sunday papers began rotogravure sections of high-quality half-toned photography. Hollywood studios embraced syndicated newspaper features to explain to a mass public how everybody was going to the movies, despite watching different films in thousands of theatres. This syndicated logic of corporate cooperation established a foundation for the synchronous broadcasts of network radio in the 1920s, which allowed national-brand products to extend their syndicated print advertising as sponsors of popular shows. The most successful radio program of its day, Amos ‘n’ Andy, began as a “radio comic strip” and extended the link between syndication and broadcasting. The systemic racism of syndicated humor opened an ambiguous form of inclusion, even as some Black newspapers launched their own weekly color comic strips and tabloid magazine supplements. For the rest of the twentieth century, the Sunday paper—as an object, as a habit, as a business—continued to mediate consumer and commercial culture.
¿Dónde Está Nuestra Escuela? (Where Is Our High School?)
Authors: Cortez Gabriel
Published: January 2023

This chapter is a historical analysis of community grassroots activism to improve public education in Chicago’s Little Village community. The movement was a response to Chicago Public School’s (CPS) failure to construct a new high school to alleviate overcrowding in a predominantly Mexican community. The movement reached a climax when residents held a hunger strike to bring attention to CPS’s negligence. Methods used for gathering data combine counter-narratives of five hunger strikers, archival research, periodicals, internal document analysis, journal entries, internet sources, and peer feedback. Common themes highlighted connect the varied sources, providing an interpretation of key individuals, organizations, events, and decisions influencing democratic principles shaping the movement. This analysis emphasizes globalization and urban educational policy that disenfranchises Chicago’s low-income communities of color.
Critical Civic Praxis
Authors: Pulido Isaura B.
Published: January 2023

According to the scholarly literature on youth activism, there is a “participation gap” between urban youth of color and white middle-class youth. Latina/o/x educational disparities coupled with unequal opportunities for civic learning in schools exacerbate the participation gap. Concerns with this gap are that urban youth of color are not learning participatory behaviors and will be at a disadvantage when it comes to participating in social change as adults. This chapter documents how youth/community-based organizations develop critical civic praxis, a culturally relevant form of civic participation, among Latina/o/x youth by incorporating socially conscious hip-hop music and culture into their programming. The author finds that organizations succeed in developing participatory behaviors because youth actions directly connect praxis to their communities’ needs.
A Kiss in the Dark
Authors: Thaggert Miriam
Published: January 2023

Chapter 2 analyzes two lawsuits against the Memphis and Charleston Railroad in the early 1880s, as African Americans struggled with the end of Reconstruction. Both Jane Brown and Sallie Robinson were forced out of first-class “ladies’ cars,” train compartments for white middle- and upper-class women traveling alone or with a male relative or companion. In each case, the train conductor perceived the Black woman to be a prostitute. The chapter argues that the Black women’s mobility contributed to assumptions about their morality: their mobility, especially on or near the train, was sexualized and criminalized. Brown’s lawsuit, which includes the testimony of the then-governor of Mississippi, was successful. Sallie Robinson’s lawsuit was not; it was part of the Civil Rights Cases of 1883 that voided the Civil Rights Act of 1875. The chapter examines how the lawsuits reflect the legal circumscription, or retrenchment, of Black female mobility.
Platform Politics
Authors: Thaggert Miriam
Published: January 2023

The chapter focuses on an area of train travel that may be overlooked, the platform, by examining the African American women who sold food at train stations, known as waiter carriers. Waiter carriers originally sold on the Gordonsville railroad platform but were forced to move to the train tracks and were eventually banned altogether. The chapter uncovers the local “platform politics” that led to their banishment. Using photographs, maps, a short story, and Gordonsville Town Council records, the chapter also questions how the archive is formed and how knowledge is created and passed on.
Unsustainable Environments and Place in Latinx Literature
Authors: Delgadillo Theresa
Published: January 2023

This essay proposes that Latinx Midwestern literature advances a critique of environmental degradation and advances knowledge about living sustainably through the invocation of alternative place-times, revealing characters who must inhabit multiple temporalities in order to endure. Delgadillo suggests that these alternative place-times emerge in representations of the practices of migration and milpa-making and the construction of objects such as the rebozo and the recipe in literature by Fred Arroyo, Sandra Cisneros, Rubén Martinez, Hugo Martinez-Serros, and Aurora Levins Morales.
Finding MexiRican Placemaking in Michigan
Authors: Fernández-Jones Delia
Published: January 2023

This chapter documents Mexican and Puerto Rican placemaking in Grand Rapids, Michigan while also examining challenges in researching Latinos in traditional historical archives. It traces the formation of Latinx communities in the 1940s and 1950s through access to public spaces including halls, social clubs and churches; considers the racialization of Mexicans and Puerto Ricans at mid-twentieth century; and examines the forging of social and cultural bonds among and between Mexicans and Puerto Ricans. A discussion of non-traditional primary sources and the methodologies used to locate and analyze them begin this chapter and are interspersed throughout.
Festival de las Calaveras and Somatic Emplacement in Minnesota
Authors: Davalos Karen Mary
Published: January 2023

This chapter examines El Festival de las Calaveras for its ability to create belonging in Minnesota. Produced by Tlalnepantla Arts, an arts collective lead by Deborah Ramos, El Festival de las Calaveras includes a community-wide commemoration, musical performances, and exhibitions with visual art and ofrenda-installations for the dead. These events enunciate Latina/o/x placemaking, a spatial reconstitution of belonging which I term emplacement, and offer a place in which Latinx residents feel in their bodies that they belong. Through the body, or soma, Latinx residences experience temporary but significant connections to each other and the places they call home. Using Chicana feminist autoethnography, the chapter documents the author’s somatic emplacement and emergent sense of latinidad in the Twin Cities, an urban environment in which Latinx residents lack demographic majority. Somatic emplacement offers sustainable methods of social belonging that preceded physical markers, territorial locations, or civic entrenchment. Creating a sense of belonging that is embodied and not dependent on the land mitigates settler colonial logics.
Refugees, Religious Spaces, and Sanctuary In Wisconsin
Authors: González Sergio M.
Published: January 2023

This chapter examines the process of religious placemaking, sanctuary formation, and social movement building in the Latinx Midwest. In the 1980s, Christian and Jewish communities in the region joined a national movement to offer sanctuary to hundreds of thousands of Salvadoran and Guatemalan asylees fleeing persecution in their homelands and arbitrary deportation from the U.S. Influenced by scriptural exhortations to offer safe harbor to those in need, sanctuary members transformed church spaces into places for both spiritual communion and political fellowship. Through an analysis of the organizational records of the activist organizations and congregations that joined the sanctuary movement as well as the testimonies of asylees finding hospitality in the region, this chapter charts how these religious sites have been crucial locations for a form of sanctified Latinx placemaking in the U.S. Midwest
Living Lakes
Authors: Rivera-Servera Ramón H.
Published: January 2023

This essay draws from autoethnographic experience and a performance piece by Joel Valentín-Martínez and Anita Gonzalez in order to explore embodied memories of Latinx and Black migration, labor, and leisure into the Midwest. Assuming the aesthetic procedures and analytics of choreography, the essay traces movement as a key component of placemaking.
Enter Hoover and Baldwin
Authors: Engelman Ralph , Shenkman Carey
Published: January 2023

This chapter argues that the Espionage Act is critical in triggering both the repressive apparatus of what became the FBI and the modern civil liberties movement in the United States. J. Edgar Hoover and Roger Baldwin were virtual by products of the Espionage Act. Hoover would go on to shape the FBI for half a century. Baldwin would do as much for the American Civil Liberties Union as its founder. Their thinking crystallizes at the time when Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. is pressed to strike a middle ground protecting First Amendment rights in his historic dissent in Abrams v. U.S. This sets the stage for the battles that Hoover's FBI and Baldwin's ACLU would wage over freedom of expression throughout the twentieth century.
Amerasia
Authors: Engelman Ralph , Shenkman Carey
Published: January 2023

This chapter argues that the prosecution of Amerasia, a small left-wing journal on Asian affairs, heralds the political use of the Espionage Act to control information about US foreign policy during the Cold War. The prosecution also accelerates the rise of McCarthyism. The political context is the contention of John Service and foreign service officers known as the “China Hands” that Mao Zedong's communists would emerge victorious in the civil war in China. When their reports are ignored, they disclose secret documents. This prompts surveillance, warrantless searches, and prosecution. The Truman administration's equivocation ruins the careers of a generation of diplomats. Senator Joseph McCarthy seizes upon the case to allege coverup of communist infiltration of the State Department.

This chapter historicizes and describes state-sponsored music in Recife, Brazil, while introducing the book’s main theoretical concepts: rooted cosmopolitanism, scaling, and voicing. As an ensemble, these concepts help theorize how musical production and reception fit into and transform intertwining structures of power, including neoliberalism, race, and class. Although the city’s music industry has been reshaped by recent democratic, multicultural policies, it is still characterized by significant social and material inequalities. These inequalities affect musicians and music professionals from disparate backgrounds who nonetheless share a commitment to local culture, a reliance on state sponsorship, and pressures to become more entrepreneurial. Such conditions are part of the neoliberal economization of culture and life, which has been part of Brazilian governance throughout the twenty-first century.
“Some Other Prophet”

The conclusion evaluates the NAWU’s legacy in the context of organized labor’s relations with farmworkers. It situates the Bracero Program in the history of twentieth-century agriculture, migration, and labor in North America. Grower-controlled guestworkers allowed employers to defeat labor after World War II. Program abuses, however, paved the way for farmworker movement victories as farmworker advocates moved the reform agenda to center stage. Still, even the UFW struggled against the barriers that confounded the NAWU, and growers found new guestworker policies to use. Farmworkers’ problems have changed little since employers used the Bracero Program to restructure the agricultural labor market.

Identifying Noise Sources & Alarm Hazards in ICUs – Occurrences. Tools to Minimize
Authors: Dash Swetapadma
Published: January 2023

ICU of a hospital is considered to be one of the most stressful and psychologically taxing working places because of the congregation of critically ill and severely injured patients. Patients with any life-threatening illnesses are admitted to the intensive care unit. The objective of ICUs is to assist such patients duly recover by providing them advanced treatment with the skillful application of advanced techniques. ICU is also a place where sophisticated equipment and machinery necessary to supervise and care for a seriously ill patient are strung together to meet the treatment needs of patients without the possibility of neglecting them. Part of the ICU architecture is medical device alarms. Clinical devices and other appliances sound hundreds of alarms per patient per day, creating a dissonance that can overwhelm, distract, and desensitize health care workers as well as patients. The hazards related to excessive noise and clinical alarms were conceived as a project when it was observed that the stress level of patients and care givers increased due to the noise coming out of these alarm systems. A study undertaken in one of the multispecialty Hospitals in Bhubaneswar to find out the possible sources of stress revealed that noise from alarms and other sources were proving to be a source of a hindrance for effective communication and contributing to patients’ stress. The results of our study indicate that behavioral modification alone is not adequate to control excessive noise. There is a need for further research involving the supportive involvement by clinicians, nurses, and paramedic and support staffs, along with effective medical device alarm management, and continuous process improvement methods and training

Ascensão da esfera social e os desafios impostos à educação contemporânea
Authors: Santos Neiva Caetano
Published: January 2023

O tema central deste artigo é a constatação que Hannah Arendt faz a respeito do predomínio da esfera social na modernidade, o que acarreta a desvalorização da ação política no âmbito público e a relação desse acontecimento com o entendimento de Arendt sobre a educação. O objetivo é refletir acerca do papel da escola nesse contexto, no qual não há a antiga demarcação entre as esferas público e privada, característica da Antiguidade Clássica. A escola, segundo Arendt, é responsável por estabelecer a mediação entre o lar e o mundo público e representa o mundo para a criança, mesmo que não seja de fato. Com a hegemonia da esfera social, é possível indagar: como fica a situação da escola quando não se tem um espaço delimitado entre público e privado? Como a criança vai se desenvolver em um mundo dominado pelo social? O artigo está organizado em duas partes. Na primeira, apresentará as reflexões de Arendt contidas no ensaio “A crise na educação”. Na segunda parte, a referência principal será a obra A condição humana, escrita por Hannah Arendt, na qual se encontram as categorias conceituais referentes às esferas público, privado e social, para que seja possível relacioná-las ao objetivo proposto nesse trabalho. Tratam-se de considerações iniciais que necessitam de aprofundamento teórico e conceitual, mas que permitiram pensar o papel da escola no mundo contemporâneo, sendo uma possibilidade, a preparação dos alunos por meio dos referenciais da pedagogia retórica.
