La conservación del patrimonio arquitectónico maya en contextos urbanos. Propuesta de una red de parques arqueológicos en Mérida, Yucatán
Authors:   Universidad de Yucatán, Ligorred Perramon Josep , Paredes Guerrero Blanca ,   Universidad de Yucatán
Published: May 2022

La permanencia de la arquitectura maya en los contextos urbanos de los pueblos de Yucatán está sujeta a los procesos urbanizadores y modernizadores de América Latina, y a la consecuente destrucción del patrimonio cultural arqueológico. El objetivo de este trabajo es presentar un análisis acerca de los procesos de transformación urbana frente a las permanencias prehispánicas urbano-arquitectónicas que han ocurrido en la ciudad de Mérida, Yucatán. Las intersecciones entre ciudad y patrimonio, específicamente durante las últimas casi cinco décadas (1972-2019), han conducido a un reconocimiento de zonas y monumentos patrimoniales, arqueológicos, históricos y naturales, cuya valoración para el desarrollo urbano los ha convertido en cualificadores del espacio e impulsores del fortalecimiento de la memoria social y cultural, a pesar de posiciones contrapuestas y confrontadas durante el proceso. En el caso de la ciudad y del municipio de Mérida, se cuenta con un amplio registro de patrimonio arquitectónico maya, que va desde edificios piramidales hasta viviendas que datan desde el primer milenio antes de Cristo hasta el momento de la conquista. Actualmente estos lugares han configurado áreas urbanas con vocación de espacios públicos, en los que se ha concretado el concepto de parque arqueológico, lo que ha llevado a una propuesta de articulación que aquí denominamos red de parques arqueológicos del municipio, de lo cual daremos cuenta en este trabajo, ofreciendo una lectura diacrónica de la historia regional, y que puede ser base para un paisaje urbano armónico con el tejido social y el contexto natural del territorio.
Dimensión urbana y percepción en la ciudad maya Clásica de Palenque
Authors:   Sapienza-Università di roma, Campiani Arianna
Published: May 2022

En este artículo me interesa abordar dos temas estrechamente relacionados: construcción y percepción del entorno urbano en la ciudad de Palenque, Chiapas, durante el Clásico Tardío. A partir del estudio de la morfología urbana de Palenque, y con el uso de herramientas de análisis de un Sistema de Información Geográfica, me interesa evidenciar la intencionalidad en el posicionamiento de edificios significativos con el fin de crear visuales impactantes, y explorar de qué manera la percepción del entorno hubiera cambiado de acuerdo a la urbanidad de los actores, es decir, conforme a su condición en la ciudad y el vivir juntos experimentando al otro. Para estos fines, considero diferentes aspectos del asentamiento, como lo son la inversión en mano de obra, la presencia de infraestructura y el acceso a los recursos, la sectorización en grupos y su diversa distribución. Propongo que estos elementos, aunados a la circulación y la visibilidad, apuntan hacia específicas estrategias de planeación, pero también sugieren diferencias de estatus entre sectores de la ciudad y, por ende, entre sus habitantes.
Dzehkabtún: historia de un conjunto habitacional del Clásico Tardío al Clásico Terminal

Published: May 2022

Este texto describe y analiza la historia de un conjunto arquitectónico del periodo Clásico maya en la península central de Yucatán, Edo. de Campeche, Mpo. de Hopelchén. La excavación de un grupo habitacional de Dzehkabtún y el análisis del material asociado permiten reconstruir parte del desarrollo del sitio desde el Clásico Tardío hasta el Clásico Terminal. El análisis del material óseo de varios entierros vinculados estratigráficamente con las etapas constructivas del edificio central de este grupo reveló un alto nivel de estrés físico, lo cual probablemente se agravó hacia el Clásico Terminal Tardío, cuando se registraron actos de violencia como la destrucción intencional de los edificios abovedados.

Vaccine Development and Social Control
Authors: Broudy Daniel
Published: May 2022

History and observation reveal a relationship between investment and what we perceive to be the promise of subsequent profit. Set against the backdrop of the vaccine information war waged by centers of power against populations around the world, this essay presents a critical analysis of key concepts and actors on the global stage framing the issues of the current Covid-19 global vaccination experiment. To unfold a deeper understanding of how power centers shape the leading concepts of genetic code as a computer program, I integrate research in cognitive science and communication theory to analyze how concepts are normalized and formed in the production of vaccines and why conditioning the public mind to accept the global program is necessary. I consider how definitions of keywords today, such as “vaccine” and “pharmacy,” have developed over time and what these terms have come to mean to transnational investors and stakeholders now constructing the bio-secure global economy.
Lowered Female Fertility Associated with Human Papilloma Virus Vaccines
Authors: DeLong Gayle
Published: May 2022

The falling birth rate in the United States may be owed to multiple factors, the human papilloma virus (HPV) vaccines being among them. Here I examine again the hypothesis that the likelihood of having been pregnant at least once was reduced for women aged 25 to 29 between 2007 and 2018 who received one of the HPV vaccines compared with peers who did not. Data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) representing 7.5 million women in the United States were used. The age-range was limited in order to compare women in the optimal age-range for child-bearing who received at least one HPV shot during the study period against peers who did not. Given that the HPV vaccines are aimed at preventing cervical cancer, but not at reducing or enhancing fertility, the opportunity and choice to receive such a vaccine should be about equal across all the women in the sampled age-range and time frame. Analysis revealed that only 47% of HPV vaccine recipients had ever conceived as contrasted with 69% of comparable peers who did not receive any HPV shot. If pregnancies after receiving such a shot were unaffected by it, the women in both groups should be equally likely or unlikely to get pregnant. Nevertheless, even when covariate controls for marital status, age, education, income, race/ethnicity, obesity and smoking were used, a multivariate logistic regression showed a reduced likelihood of pregnancy in the HPV vaccinated women (OR 0.66; 95% CI 0.438, 0.998): women who received the HPV vaccine were less likely to have been or to become pregnant during the time frame examined. The reasonable conclusion is that receiving an HPV vaccination reduces female fertility. If the shot were aiming to be a birth-control vaccine the observed result would not be anomalous. But it is, and there is other research showing that at least two of the viruses targeted by all the HPV vaccines on the market, 16 and 18, can cause sterility in both females and males and are also associated with so-called “spontaneous” abortions and premature ovarian failure in pregnant female carriers of those pathogens.
All Cause Mortality and COVID-19 Injections: Evidence from 28 Weeks of Public Health England “COVID-19 Vaccine Surveillance Reports”
Authors: Oller John , Santiago Daniel
Published: May 2022

According to data collected in the UK for weeks 34-52 in 2021 (excluding week 51 which was not covered) and in weeks 1-12 of 2022 — a period of 28 weeks during which the genetic “vaccines” from Pfizer, Moderna, and AstraZeneca were being pressed upon the public — deaths reported to Public Health England (PHE) from their hospital “trusts” were being tabulated in a series of vaccine surveillance reports. Each source for the data analyzed here covered a four-week period. Deaths were reported to PHE from under age 18, progressing in increments of 10 years to 80 or older. In addition to deaths, the UK National Immunization Management System also recorded the date of a positive COVID-19 test result, and dates of any vaccinations. To obtain non-overlapping records, the 7 surveillance reports relied on here appeared in weeks 38, 42, 47, and 51 in 2021 and 4, 9, and 13 in 2022. Assuming that dying was not reported more than once for any individual, and, that dates of positive COVID-19 tests and COVID-19 vaccinations were reasonably reliable, we believe there is no good reason to doubt the data or the analyses we are reporting. During the 28 weeks we are referring to, we found an almost perfect correlation between the total deaths within 60 days of a positive COVID-19 test, across the various age groups (a) from any cause whatever and (b) deaths after the persons who died had received one, two, or three doses of at least one of the COVID-19 vaccines. We simply collated the data from the various UK Health Security Agency vaccine surveillance reports to discover a correlation of 0.99881, coefficient of determination at 0.99762, between (a) and (b). The shots account for almost exactly 100% of the variance in death-from-all-causes in the UK data set.
Uncommon Benign Neoplasms and Pseudotumors of the Liver
Authors: Assarzadegan Naziheh , Montgomery Elizabeth
Published: May 2022

Context.—

The most common benign hepatic mass-forming lesions often display fairly specific imaging characteristics, whereas less familiar, rarer benign neoplasms and pseudotumors may pose a diagnostic challenge in clinical, radiology, and pathology practice because of either their rarity or their unusual features.

Objective.—

To review a selection of pseudotumors and unusual benign hepatic neoplasms encountered in consultation practices with a focus on nonepithelial tumors.

Data Sources.—

Sources include English-language literature and personal experiences.

Conclusions.—

Several benign conditions (namely, segmental atrophy, infections, immunoglobulin G4 [IgG4]–related sclerosing disease, angiomyolipoma, mesenchymal hamartoma, and various vascular lesions) can lead to formation of hepatic masses. Because of their rarity and underrecognition, such lesions are often diagnostically challenging. Awareness of hepatic pseudotumors and various rare hepatic neoplasms and their potential mimics can forestall misdiagnosis and inappropriate management.

Authors: Gusakova Anna , Suslova Tatiana , Kercheva Maria , Kologrivova Irina , Ryabova Tamara , Ryabov Vyacheslav
Published: May 2022

Background: The study of laboratory biomarkers that reflect the development of adverse cardiovascular events in the postinfarction period is of current relevance. The aim of the present study was evaluation of oncostatin M (OSM) concentration changes in the early and late stages of myocardial infarction and evaluation of the possibility of its use in prediction of adverse left ventricular (LV) remodeling in patients with myocardial infarction with ST-elevated segment (STEMI). Methods: The study involved 31 patients with STEMI admitted in the first 24 hours after the onset of MI and 30 patients with chronic coronary artery disease as a control group. Echocardiographic study was performed on day 3 and in 6 months after STEMI. The serum levels of biomarkers were evaluated on the day of hospital admission and 6 months after MI using multiplex immunoassay. Results: OSM level increased during the first 24 h after the onset of the disease, with the following decrease in 6 months. OSM concentration at admission had correlated with echocardiography parameters and Nt-proBNP, troponin I, CK-MB levels. Our study has demonstrated association of the increased levels of OSM at the early stages of STEMI with development of the adverse LV remodeling in 6 months after the event. Conclusions: Elevation of OSM levels in the first 24 h after STEMI is associated with the development of the adverse LV remodeling in the long-term post-infarction period.
Covid-19 disease: Injury at work or an occupational disease?
Authors: Petrović Mila
Published: May 2022

The COVID-19 disease pandemic has opened a number of legal issues, one of which is the need to define COVID-19 as a possible consequence of performing work. In that sense, the question arose whether it could be qualified as an injury at work or as an occupational disease. When it comes to the comparative law, this need to put COVID-19 in a professional context has already been answered in various ways, and the wandering in that process (due to the complexity of the issue) is probably best illustrated by the fact that in some systems it takes on the nature of a legal chameleon that is adjusting itself to a sector of work or to a period of exposure to the virus. In the Republic of Serbia, on the other hand, the controversy on this issue is still ongoing - which is also the reason why a review of comparative legal experiences is necessary. And while the qualification of COVID-19 as an injury at work is problematic due to the fact that it is hard to define an event that could be characterized as an accident at work that produced such a consequence, the qualification of COVID-19 as an occupational disease encounters other problems. Most of those problems in the Republic of Serbia, on the other hand, are systemic in nature and, therefore, require fixes of the existing legal gaps and systematic changes of the existing regulations by the Serbian lawmaker. Additionally, when it comes to COVID-19, the one question that arises is the question of causality - having in mind that in this day and age we are all in contact with the SARS-CoV-2 virus to a greater or to a lesser extent. In that sense, occupational medicine will be entrusted with the difficult task of determining the occupational origin of this disease - since it does not seem fair to recognize the status of an occupational disease to an employee if there are reasonable suspicions on the matter whether the infection took place during his performance of his work tasks.

A new era of Turkey's Neighborhood Policy
Authors: Guzaerov Razil Ilshatovich
Published: May 2022

The article is devoted to the analysis of the strategy of good neighborliness in Turkey's foreign policy. The strategy is aimed at increasing the role of Turkey in the international system. The purpose of the study is to examine the theoretical provisions of the neighborhood policy, to identify the reasons for its transformation from the point of view of Turkey's national interests within the framework of the transformation of the system of international relations and changes in the balance of power at the regional level, as well as to identify new trends within this policy. The methodological basis of the research is the method of system analysis and the historical method, with the help of which the article analyzes the main stages of the development of the "zero problems with neighbors" policy. The author examines in detail the strategy of good neighborliness from the moment of its adoption to the present time. This strategy justifies Turkey's regional leadership. Special attention is paid to the reasons for modernization and transformation of the neighborhood strategy. The author examined in detail the force factor, which became an integral part of the strategy after the failures of Turkish diplomacy and with which Turkey strengthened its influence in neighboring regions. The power policy allowed Turkey to become a participant in regional conflicts, clearly identify its interests and demonstrate determination in their defense. According to the results of the study, it is concluded that Turkey is returning to the original peaceful version of the neighborhood policy. This strategy continues to be a key one in Turkey's foreign policy.

Ostwald ripening refers to a process of a particle/droplet/bubble system under local thermal equilibrium state adjusting the size distribution spontaneously to reduce the total surface energy. A lattice Boltzmann approach is used to simulate the ripening process of a two dimensional vapor bubble cluster dominated by phase transition kinetics. By comparing the numerical results with the theoretical prediction derived in two-dimensional space, it is shown that the lattice Boltzmann method is accurate in the simulations. The results also indicate that the mass transfer in liquid phase is driven by hydrodynamic pressure distribution and the hydrodynamic collapse of the bubbles influences the size distribution function in a small size region. The influence of the parameters in the equation of state of the material is studied further. A positive relation between phase transition speed and specific internal energy is proposed, which enhances the thermal fundamental of phase transition.

The thermodynamic functions of toroidal black holes are investigated in this paper by taking the cosmological constant as a dynamic variable equivalent to the pressure. The equation of state and the Smarr relation of a toroidal black hole are given. Then, the Gibbs function is obtained by calculating the Euclidian action. Further we study other thermodynamic functions of the toroidal black hole, such as free energy, internal energy, and thermodynamic enthalpy. The heat capacity of the toroidal black hole at constant pressure and constant volume is obtained. The results show that toroidal black holes have no van der Waals type phase transition. Toroidal black hole is a stable thermodynamic system because its heat capacity at constant pressure is greater than zero and its heat capacity at constant volume is equal to zero.
Chromatin accessibility landscape of stromal subpopulations reveals distinct metabolic and inflammatory features of porcine subcutaneous and visceral adipose tissue
Authors: Sun Wenyang , Zhang Tinghuan , Hu Silu , Tang Qianzi , Long Xi , Yang Xu , Gun Shuangbao , Chen Lei
Published: May 2022

Background

Fat accumulation in visceral adipose tissue (VAT) confers increased risk for metabolic disorders of obesity, whereas accumulation of subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) is associated with lower risk and may be protective. Previous studies have shed light on the gene expression profile differences between SAT and VAT; however, the chromatin accessibility landscape differences and how the cis-regulatory elements govern gene expression changes between SAT and VAT are unknown.

Methods

Pig were used to characterize the differences in chromatin accessibility between the two adipose depots-derived stromal vascular fractions (SVFs) using DNase-sequencing (DNase-seq). Using integrated data from DNase-seq, H3K27ac ChIP-sequencing (ChIP-seq), and RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq), we investigated how the regulatory locus complexity regulated gene expression changes between SAT and VAT and the possible impact that these changes may have on the different biological functions of these two adipose depots.

Results

SVFs form SAT and VAT (S-SVF and V-SVF) have differential chromatin accessibility landscapes. The differential DNase I hypersensitive site (DHS)-associated genes, which indicate dynamic chromatin accessibility, were mainly involved in metabolic processes and inflammatory responses. Additionally, the Krüppel-like factor family of transcription factors were enriched in the differential DHSs. Furthermore, the chromatin accessibility data were highly associated with differential gene expression as indicated using H3K27ac ChIP-seq and RNA-seq data, supporting the validity of the differential gene expression determined using DNase-seq. Moreover, by combining epigenetic and transcriptomic data, we identified two candidate genes, NR1D1 and CRYM, could be crucial to regulate distinct metabolic and inflammatory characteristics between SAT and VAT. Together, these results uncovered differences in the transcription regulatory network and enriched the mechanistic understanding of the different biological functions between SAT and VAT.
Are women the New Men? Travelling the Paths toward Internationalization of Women Executives
Authors: Gosadan Beatriz
Published: May 2022

History would tell us categorically that women in the past were relegated to the background. However, the 21st century has changed the lives of women in the workplace arena where they were elevated on an enviable pedestal in leadership, management, education and skills training.  This paper focused on describing the workplace challenges, opportunities and insights of women executives in Kidapawan City. Using phenomenological research design, multiple frameworks in data collection (friendly conversations, reflection analysis, and on-line interview) data analysis through story-telling writing helped me drew several themes which established the data's trustworthiness regarding credibility, transferability, dependability and confirmability. With better portrayal on their professional development, the 15 women executives welcome the opportunities traveling the paths, climbing the traditional ladders, and running down their companies, there is one constant at them: they cultivated their success. They have enjoyed opportunities brought about by professional credibility, great sense of responsibility, and most importantly, financial independence. They have faced the challenges in leadership, human behavior, and high expectations, however, family and work-life balance remain the biggest issue that has affected them emotionally. It was through prayers and family support that these women drew strength from. Hence, even if they were judged by society as weak, they continue to inspire the world.

Published: May 2022

One of the most prevalent neurodevelopmental disorders in the country is Down syndrome. Raising a child with this disorder is not an easy feat for the parents or caregivers. This descriptive phenomenological study intends to explore the experiences of mothers in Lucena City in raising a child with Down syndrome. Ethical clearance was granted by the ethical review board. Trustworthiness and rigor were also ensured. Data thickness and rich descriptions were achieved through the five (5) participants who were chosen through criterion sampling with the help of key informants from the SPED department. The narratives were gathered through the unstructured interview. Transcribed narratives were analyzed through the use of Collaizi’s (1978) method and result into three (3) themes namely: (1) Pakikipaglaro sa Tadhana: A Pleasant Controversy, (2) Paghehele sa Problema: Guts and Glory and (3) Pag-aakay sa Kinabukasan: Stronger till the end. The outcome unveils the world of these mothers not only with a glimpse of their adversaries but mostly features this as a blessing in disguise. Their child’s condition has helped bring community awareness and perspective on people in the same situation. Their experiences have also inspired other parents who likewise struggle with having a child with different abilities.
Modernidad: cuerpos envejecidos, ¿sujetos envejecidos?
Authors: Ríos Segovia Patricio
Published: May 2022

El artículo presenta una reflexión crítica del envejecimiento y la vejez. En un primer apartado, se discute y se pone en evidencia el principio básico en el cual descansa el discurso geronto geriátrico de la modernidad, base de la marginación de las personas mayores. Luego se recoge el tratamiento del cuerpo a lo largo de la formación de las sociedades occidentales que culmina con la modernidad y, en ella, con el reinado del individuo y una vivencia dual del cuerpo. Asimismo, el artículo destaca la centralidad de la materialidad del cuerpo en el proceso del envejecimiento y el centramiento de la modernidad en un cuerpo joven casi inmortal que suprime al sujeto. Consecuencias básicas: i) desconocimiento del sujeto de la clase de edad de la vejez; ii) desatención severa del proceso de envejecimiento. Se finaliza con la identificación de algunos déficits de la gestión del envejecimiento en la modernidad.

Mushrooms have been valued as edible and medical resources. This project aimed to evaluate of four mushrooms such as Pleurotus ostreatus (Fr.) Kummer, Pleurotus opuntiae (Dur.& Lev.) Sacc., Pleurotus sajor-caju (Fr.) Sing, and Ganoderma lucidum (Curtis) for amino acids, two extraction methods, antioxidant activity, total phenolic content, 1H NMR analysis and in vitro immunostimulant activity, compared the cultivation between TISTR and Nakhon Prathom area. The results showed that glutamic acid and aspartic acid were abundant amino acids, while alanine, leucine, lysine, arginine, serine, phenyl alanine and threonine were found varied in those mushrooms. The most common amino acids found in P. sajor-caju were found in lower amounts in G. lucidum. There amino acids content was contrast with the antioxidant activity and total phenolic content. Meanwhile the 1H NMR chemical shifts illustrated signals of a mixture of polysaccharides resonated at  \(\delta\) 3.0-4.0 ppm, and fatty acids at  \(\delta\)  0.70-2.30 ppm of the A extract as well as the two signals of anomeric protons  \(\alpha\) -glucan and  \(\beta\) -glucan of the B extract appeared at δ 5.36 ppm and 4.47 ppm, respectively.  The bioassay in vitro immunostimulant activity of all mushroom extracts showed good immunostimulant booster at concentration of  0.5 mg/mL. It was found that the A and B extracts of G. lucidum were the most potent immunostimulant activity followed by the A extract of P. sajor-caju, and they had higher activity than  \(\beta\) -glucan standard with % phagocytic activity of 187.12±2.17, 166.23±0.56, 155.00±2.93, respectively. Future works will focus on their in vivo immunostimulant activity, healthy drinks and nutraceutical product development.

Published: May 2022

The evaluation of the potentials of Raphia palm seeds briquettes as fuel source was carried out to obtain optimum particle size, binder ratio and compaction pressure with cassava starch as binder for domestic heating applications. The seeds were collected, dried, hammer-milled and sieved into four different particle sizes (1.18, 1.70, 2.36 and 3.35 mm) and were densified. Four compaction pressures (2.5, 5.0, 7.5 and 10.0 MPa) and four binder ratios (15, 20, 25 and 30 %) were used. Proximate analysis of the briquettes was carried out in a bomb calorimeter and their effects on the combustion properties of the briquettes evaluated using the least significant difference (LSD) by employing two-way analysis of variance. The results revealed that the briquette with particle size 3.35 mm, binder ratio 20 % and compaction pressure 2.5 MPa gave the highest energy value of 12,785 kJ/kg, fixed carbon of 10.91 %, volatile matter of 64.30 %, ash content of 11.85 % and moisture content of 12.86 % which was the best quality briquette compared to the other samples. A predictive model for the heat value of the briquettes was developed and found to be adequate (p-value ≤ 0.0001) for use to predict the heat value of the briquettes produced. Optimization of the energy value of the briquettes was also carried to determine the optimum heat value and the probability that the result is achievable was 100 %. The optimization process gave the heat value of the briquettes to be 12,821.7 kJ/kg at the optimal condition value (24.12 % binder ratio, 1.18 % particle size and 3.00 MPa compaction pressure). The briquettes show good promise for use as fuel for household heating and small scale industrial applications.

Authors: Akinbo T. M. , Abodunde S. M.
Published: May 2022

This study examines the mediating effect of educators’ role models on the relationship between entrepreneurship pedagogy and entrepreneurial intention, a descriptive survey research was adopted in this study. A purposive sampling technique was used to select seven (7) universities  that are duly accredited by Nigeria University Commission (NUC) to run the Entrepreneurship program at the undergraduate level, while simple random sampling was employed to select 283 respondents as a sample size using Slovin, 1963 for the study. Structural equation modelling (SEM) was used to analyse the data with STATA version 15. The results reveal that entrepreneurship pedagogy has a substantial and positive association with entrepreneurship intention among students with beta-value of 0.603 and t-value of 6.67. Evidence also proves that entrepreneurship pedagogy has a direct correlation with educators’ role models with beta-value of 0.756 and t-value of 11.74. Furthermore, the result shows that educators’ role model influences entrepreneurial intention in a substantial and positive way with beta-value of 0.193 and t-value of 2.12. It was also discovered that educators’ role model partially mediates between entrepreneurship pedagogy   and entrepreneurial intentions with a beta-value of 0.1460 and t-value of 2.08. Subsequently, the study recommends that the teaching methods should be, do-it-yourself approach, learning by    doing, or problem-based learning. Also, Nigerian universities should adopt teaching strategies that work, such as, individual and group projects, inviting guest speakers and especially business simulation activities, in order to spark the interest of students and start-ups. This will go a long way toward educating students about the entrepreneurship process and identifying business opportunities.

Metric time, metric angle and metric calendar: description, advantages and stages of transition
Authors:   Centre for Theoretical Physics and Astrophysics, Zakir Zahid
Published: May 2022

The current systems of units for time and angle, as well as the calendar, are archaic and have many weaknesses, in particular, they are not based on the decimal system, not rational and are unpractical. The article substantiates the need for their gradual replacement with metric time (MT), metric angle (MA) and metric calendar (MC). The basic versions of MT, MA and MC are described, which can be further developed. In them, base units, their multiples and submultiples are introduced as in the metric system, making the values of time and angles decimal numbers, which simplifies data recording and speeds up calculations. The base unit of MT, a decimal second (desecond), is 0.864 times shorter than the SI second and in a day, instead of 86400 seconds, there are 100000 deseconds. 100 deseconds form a milliday (deminute) and 100 millidays form a deciday (dehours). In MC, the day remains the base unit of the calendar time and contains 10 decidays, or 1000 millidays, or 100,000 deseconds. Multiples and submultiples of the time units are formed as decimal powers of a desecond and a day with metric prefixes. Multiple units of a day are decaday (10 days), centiday (100 days), kilo-, mega-, giga- and teradays. The days of our epoch are counted from January 1, 2001. Epochs of history are entered by 100 kilodays, or 274 years (near, middle and early history), by megadays (2.74 thousand years) and ten megadays (27.4 thousand years). Then May 18, 2022 is 7808th day of our epoch, 107808th day of near history and 1007808th day at shifting to megadays. In geology and astronomy, epochs contain gigadays (2.74 million years) and teradays (2.74 billion years). In MA with decimal angle is introduced as an exact analogue of MT, which simplifies data recording and calculations in engineering, geography and astronomy. A full angle (360 degrees) contains 10 zones, a zone has 100 deminute, and a milliday has 100 deseconds. On the sphere there are 10 zones of longitude (meridians) and 5 zones of latitude (parallels), where the latitude of the north pole is 0 and the south pole is 5. MC is based on MT, but decades are divided into two five day weeks, and 100 days (centidays) are divided into 4 months of 25 days. Centidays and months are only numbered and have no names. The year is a non-system unit for accounting for seasonal and traditional dates. Simplicity, rationality, greater precision and quickness at using MT, MA and MC are decisive in science, technology, economics, education and many other areas of society, and therefore a complete or partial transition to them is inevitable. During the transition period, they can be applied individually and in organizations in cases of obvious advantages and efficiency improvements.
A “Seara” ainda é indígena? O Ceará enquanto um não-lugar para os índios (1812-1820)
Authors: Costa João Paulo Peixoto
Published: May 2022

Durante praticamente todo o período colonial, a capitania do Ceará se configurou, usando o termo de Manuel Coelho Albuquerque, como uma “seara indígena”, ou seja, um espaço onde o poder administrativo da coroa portuguesa chegava de forma fraca e que era povoado, majoritariamente, tanto por povos que lá encontravam refúgio ou por índios nativos.Porém, o enrijecimento das políticas populacionais do final do século XVIII e início do XIX transformaram aquela região num lugar cada vez mais disciplinado e monitorado, ou num “nãolugar” para os indígenas que lá habitavam, antigos donos do Ceará. Mas observando que, mesmo inseridos nesta nova realidade, os índios não agiram pacificamente diante destas ações governamentais, este artigo pretende analisar, de forma geral, as diversas maneiras pelas quais os nativos reinventaram seus cotidianos neste velho “confim” do império de Portugal.

O processo de laicização do Estado brasileiro e a criminalização do espiritismo no Código Penal de 1890
Authors: Gomes Adriana
Published: May 2022

O presente artigo se propõe a discutir as especificidades da secularização brasileira na Primeira República em que se evidenciaram as complexidades das relações entre a religião e a sociedade. No advento do novo regime, o Estado não definiu, no quadro de religiosidades proferidas pela população, o que era considerado religião e, portanto, com direito à proteçãolegal, das práticas consideradas antissociais e crime contra a tranquilidade pública. Nesse contexto, o espiritismo Kardequiano foi inserido como uma prática anômica para os critérios de “civilidade” estabelecidos, sobretudo para a capital federal – Rio de Janeiro. Aos seus adeptos, coube o ônus de buscarem representatividade no espaço público a fim de obterem o reconhecimento de suas práticas como sendo religiosas e não criminosas, legitimando-se nos princípios da liberdade individual e de consciência.
Histórias possíveis: identidades e relações de gênero na escola
Authors: Silva Edlene Oliveira
Published: May 2022

Pretende-se nesse artigo tratar das representações sobre as identidades e as relações de gênero presentes nos discursos de professores das escolas públicas do Distrito Federal que participaram do curso Gênero e Diversidade na Escola (GDE) durante o ano de 2012-2013. As falas analisadas foram selecionadas dos fóruns do módulo Gênero realizado no ambiente online de aprendizagem. A escola constrói conhecimentos, mas o faz, muitas vezes, reproduzindo padrões sociais, perpetuando concepções, valores e hierarquias sociais, fabricando sujeitos (seus corpos e identidades), legitimando relações de poder. Mas a escola, ao mesmo tempo em que reforça estereótipos e preconceitos de gênero, pode ser espaço privilegiado no enfrentamento da violência e discriminação contra mulheres, gays, lésbicas, bissexuais, travestis e transexuais.
O labirinto de Octavio Paz
Authors: Pagotto Aline  Maria de Carvalho
Published: May 2022

Este artigo tem por principal objetivo a reflexão do enlace existente entre a trajetória do poeta Octavio Paz e sua obra Labirinto da Solidão (1950). Mediante tal objetivo, buscamos inferir a ideia de que, no final de 1940, o autor partiu para a produção de ensaios literários para sair de sua tão mencionada sensação de “imobilidade intelectual”. Para isso, buscamos uma fundamentação teóricometodológica que acople e componha, tal qual em uma trança capilar, a trajetória de Paz, o texto e o contexto.
