Effect of High Temperature on Wear Behavior of Stir Cast Aluminium/Boron Carbide Composites
Authors: Canute X. , Majumder M. C.
Published: September 2020

The need for development of high temperature wear resistant composite materials with superior mechanical properties and tribological properties is increasing significantly. The high temperature wear properties of aluminium boron carbide composites was evaluated in this investigation. The effect of load, sliding velocity, temperature and reinforcement percentage on wear rate was determined by the pin heating method using pin heating arrangement. The size and structure of base alloy particles change considerably with an increase of boron carbide particles. The wettability and interface bonding between the matrix and reinforcement enhanced by the addition of potassium flurotitanate. ANOVA technique was used to study the effect of input parameters on wear rate. The investigation reveals that the load had higher significance than sliding velocity, temperature and weight fraction. The pin surface was studied with a high-resolution scanning electron microscope. Regression analysis revealed an extensive association between control parameters and response. The developed composites can be used in the production of automobile parts requiring high wear, frictional and thermal resistance.

Authors: Smyk Emil , Wawrzyniak Sylwester , Peszyński Kazimierz
Published: September 2020

The synthetic jet actuators are one of the most investigated types of actuators used in heat transfer and active flow control. The energetic efficiency of actuators is a key parameter determining the possibility of device use. The actuators with two or more diaphragms have higher efficiency than the actuators with only one. The paper presents the investigations of the acoustic synthetic jet actuator with two opposite diaphragms. In the paper, synthetic jet velocity, Reynolds number and the energetic efficiency as a function of oscillating actuator frequency, for a different cavity, orifice configuration and one real input power P
0 = 2 W were studied. The possibility of theoretical calculation of first and second resonance frequency were checked. The coupling ratio for actuators was calculated. The maximum energetic efficiency was η = 8.67% and Reynolds number Re = 8503. The possibility of using the same dependencies and rules during the design of actuators with two opposite diaphragms as in the case of actuators with one diaphragm was demonstrated. The results may be useful in the design of the actuators of the two membranes.
Can sport for development programs improve educational outcomes? A rapid evidence assessment
Authors: Moustakas Louis
Published: September 2020

Over the last 20 years, sport for development (SFD) has become an increasingly used tool to tackle education-related challenges around the world and has even become recognized by major international institutions such as the United Nations and the Commonwealth. In spite of this, evidence on the effectiveness of SFD programs on educational outcomes is limited. Through a Rapid Evidence Assessment (REA), this paper seeks to begin addressing this gap. Literature is included if it quantitatively examines the relationship between participation in a SFD program and educational outcomes, namely academic performance, school attendance, or attitudes and behaviors related to school. Results are then organized and presented according to these aforementioned areas. The identified literature paints a mixed picture of SFD’s impact on educational outcomes related to academic performance and school attendance, though the data related to improved attitude and behavior is more positive. Overall, the lack of research on this topic and the deficiencies in some of the identified studies do not allow for the conclusion that SFD generates positive education-related outcomes. This paper concludes by proposing potential solutions to address this gap in research.
Eastern Orthodox Agreement and Disagreement with Kenneth Collins and Jerry Walls
Authors: Hartenburg Gary
Published: September 2020

In their book, Roman but Not Catholic, Kenneth Collins and Jerry Walls make the case that certain beliefs central to the Roman Catholic faith are unreasonable. This article evaluates, from the point of view of Eastern Orthodoxy, some of the arguments Collins and Walls make. In particular, it argues first that Collins and Walls are correct to criticize John Henry Newman’s theory of the development of doctrine as a reason to accept otherwise insufficiently supported Catholic doctrines. Secondly, it offers some points of clarification concerning the matter of sacred tradition and attempts to show the areas of agreement and disagreement between Eastern Orthodoxy and the position that Collins and Walls articulate. Thirdly, it argues that Collins and Walls rely on what is, from an Eastern Orthodox point of view, a questionable view about the interpretation of scripture by assuming without good reason that the clear meaning of scripture is equivalent to the literal interpretation.
On Reading the Bible as Scripture, Encountering the Church
Authors: Nemes Steven
Published: September 2020

As an exercise in the ‘theology of disclosure’, the present essay proposes a kind of phenomenological analysis of the act of reading the Bible as Scripture with the goal of bringing to light the theoretical commitments which it implicitly demands. This sort of analysis can prove helpful for the continuing disputes among Protestants, Catholics, and Orthodox insofar as it is relevant for one of the principal points of controversy between them: namely, the relationship between Scripture, Tradition, and Church as theological authorities. It proceeds by analyzing both the objective and subjective ‘poles’ of the act, and it illuminates the presence of the Church and her Tradition on both sides. The Church—i.e., the community of God’s people—is both that which is immediately encountered in the text, as well as the factor which enables scriptural reading in the first place. The article terminates with an application of the insights of the preceding discussion to the controversy about icons.
THE EXISTENCE OF BATAK ULOS IN THE AREA OF HEGEMONY
Authors: Nainggolan Mangido
Published: September 2020

Adat or custom is made by humans for the sake of human interest, it is hoped that the stability and order of the community are maintained through the customs that are imposed on these community groups. Culture will continue to move along with the movement of global economic activity, it also influences the development of every existing culture. The Toba Batak culture is also inseparable from these clashes. The label as an idol worshiper is synonymous with the Toba Batak culture. There are many issues and views that explain why this happened, including the result of local religious practices practiced by the Toba Batak community today such as the Ulus ritual labeled by Charismatic Christian Missionaries as Atheist teachings. According to them, Ulos must be destroyed because it is considered a magic object in which magical powers are attached and “save” the power of evil spirits. The hegemony of modernization and globalization, reinforced by the influence of religion, has made Ulos an object that has high values ??of civilization, starting to erode, especially in terms of the nature and meaning of it. In this regard, the aim of this paper is to explain the existence of Ulos in relation to the hegemony of modernity and the pressure of Charismatic Christian missionaries on the indigenous Batak culture. The data analysis and approach method used in this study is qualitative with the perspective of cultural studies. The results showed that the shift in meaning was getting out of control because the perpetrators were the Batak people themselves who had been exposed to a new ideology that was centered on spiritual issues. The reason that seems so biblical is used as a tool to legalize the extermination in the form of burning Ulos against his followers because Ulos is labeled loaded with demonic powers. The process of eliminating the meaning of the ancestral heritage becomes faster because the adat institutions no longer have the legal power to oppose the hegemony and dominance that continues. 

Key words: Ulos Batak, hegemony, charismatic Christianity

Published: September 2020

Nonribosomal cyclopeptide cyclosporin A (CsA), produced by fungus Tolypocladium inflatum, is an extremely important immunosuppressive drug used in organ transplantations and for therapy of autoimmune diseases. Here we report for the first time production of CsA, along with related cyclosporins B and C, by Tolypocladium inflatum strains of marine origin (White Sea). Cyclosporins A–C contain an unusual amino acid, (4R)-4-((E)-2-butenyl)-4,N-dimethyl-l-threonine (MeBmt), and are prone to isomerization to non-active isocyclosporine by N→O acyl shift of valine connected to MeBmt in acidic conditions. CsA and isoCsA are not distinguishable in MS analysis of [M+H]+ ions due to the rapid [CsA+H]+→[isoCsA+H]+ conversion. We found that the N→O acyl shift is completely suppressed in cyclosporine [M+2H]2+ ions, and their MS/MS fragmentation can be used for rapid and unambiguous analysis of cyclosporins and isocylosporins. The fragmentation patterns of [CyA+2H]2+ and [isoCyA+2H]2+ ions were analyzed and explained. The developed approach could be useful for MS analysis of other peptides containing β-hydroxy-α-amino acids.

Published: September 2020

Dihalomucononitriles were synthesized and their reactivity evaluated to assess their ability to function as linchpin reagents. Bis(2-chloroacrylonitrile) and bis(2-bromoacrylonitrile) were synthesized from 2,13-benzothiadiazole and shown to undergo conjugate addition reactions with both nitrogen (40–95% yield) and carbon nucleophiles (72–93% yield). Secondary amines were found to undergo monoadditions while carbon nucleophiles added twice. The sequence of addition of the nucleophiles could be controlled giving mixed addition products. The multicomponent coupling products could then be converted to natural product-like motifs using intramolecular cyclization reactions.
Ultrastrong Regulation Effect of Electric Field on Cyclo[18]carbon: Phenomenon and Essence
Authors: Lu Tian , Chen Qinxue
Published: September 2020

Cyclo[18]carbon has a very unique geometry and electronic structure. Based on quantum chemistry calculations, we found that external electric field (EEF) has ultrastrong regulation effect on various aspects of the cyclo[18]carbon. The main findings are as follows: (1) The EEF evidently affects geometric structure of the cyclo[18]carbon, and the ring is greatly elongated when EEF exceeds 0.02 a.u. (2) The EEF causes a huge polarization in the charge distribution of the system, and large EEF can even make some in-plane  electrons nearly detached from the system (3) Presence of EEF significantly reduces HOMO-LUMO gap (4) The EEF not only greatly changes the position and intensity of the original absorption peak of the cyclo[18]carbon in the ultraviolet region, but large EEF also leads to a new absorption band in the visible light range and thus makes the cyclo[18]carbon show color. We made an in-depth explanation and discussion of the above phenomena from the aspects of energy, electronic structure, and atomic force. This work is not only of scientific interest in the interplay between the EEF and the cyclo[18]carbon, but may also open a novel path to explore different applications of this unusual molecule.
Does Liquid-Liquid Phase Separation Drive Peptide Folding?
Authors: Edun Dean N. , Flanagan Meredith R. , Serrano Arnaldo
Published: September 2020

Proline-arginine (PR) dipeptide repeats have been shown to undergo liquid-liquid phase separation and are an example of a growing number of intrinsically disordered proteins that can assemble into membraneless organelles. These structures have been posited as a nucleation site for pathogenic protein aggregation. As such, a better understanding of the effects that the increased local concentration and volumetric crowding within droplets has on peptide secondary structure is necessary. Herein we use Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and two-dimensional infrared (2DIR) spectroscopy to show that formation of droplets by PR20 accompany changes in the Amide-I spectra consistent with folding into poly-proline helical structures.
FLUKTUASI TEMPORAL KELEMBABAN UDARA DI DALAM DAN LUAR EKOSISTEM MANGROVE
Authors: Dalengkade Mario Nikolaus
Published: September 2020

Modeling air humidity in the mangrove ecosystem using Fourier functions shows a cycle of temporal fluctuations. The cycle is influenced by the intensity of the sun. Graphical modeling of air humidity shows similarities for position 1 and position 3. Starting at 19.00 air humidity is 72% and continues to rise reaching 85.5% at exactly 04.00. Then it declined again by 59.2% at 12.00. Unlike the 9th position starting at 19.00 the value of air humidity is 71.5% and continues to rise reaching 82.5% at exactly 4:00 a.m., and decreases again to reach 65% at 12.00. The difference in the value of air humidity is because position 1 and position 3 are located outside and the edge of the mangrove forest where no or lack of mangrove canopy cover causes the evaporation process to occur very quickly. While position 9 is located in the mangrove forest where the mangrove canopy cover plays an important role in controlling the evaporation process and reducing the intensity of the sun. Besides that cross-choreal testing produces a timeâ€’lag that varies for each position measuring air humidity based on the depth and edge of the mangrove ecosystem.

Unethical pro-organizational behavior and flourishing: An investigation of why, how, and under what circumstances
Authors: Moradi Saleh , Van Quaquebeke Niels , Scarf Damian , Hunter John A
Published: September 2020

We challenge the assumption that employee flourishing is automatically beneficial to both the organization and wider society. To this end, we firstly posit that flourishing needs to be bound by some sort of moral guide in order to mitigate unethical pro-organizational behavior (UPB). Study 1 (N = 170) supports our proposed moderation hypothesis in that, flourishing was related to more willingness to engage in UPB the less central morality was to employees’ identity. Secondly, we posit careerism as a mechanism between flourishing (in interaction with moral centrality) and UPB. Study 2 (N = 208) supports the predicted moderated mediation hypothesis. In a final study, we consider the relevance of context. Specifically, we suggest that internal moral guidance (in the form of moral centrality) will result in lower careerism and hence lower UPB, but only if not overridden by the pressures of a perceived self-interested organizational climate. Study 3 (N = 208) reports evidence consistent with our moderation mediation hypothesis. Overall, we make the case that flourishing needs morality to rein it in. Only then will flourishing represent the original Aristotelian notion of eudaimonia that modern positive psychology wants to promote.

Published: September 2020

Pain is a troublesome issue in most of the cancer patients. Under treatment of pain can lead to poor quality of life in them. Thus, it is important to maintain continuity of cancer pain management even during a pandemic situation. In literature, the strategies for adopting the cancer pain management practices in light of current scenario of pandemic are not described. The outbreak of Novel corona virus infection (COVID-19) has imposed multiple challenges including restriction of access to routine health care system, psychological stress and impositions of strict infection control strategy. In this narrative review, we discuss the potential considerations of conventional cancer pain management model during outbreak of COVID -19. Effects of common analgesics on immune system have been described backed by evidence in literature. We provide a few strategies for the cancer pain management practices, which can be adopted during the pandemic. They are prioritization of patients for in-hospital visit, considering bi logical interactions and legal limitations while prescribing medications, considering only urgent cases for pain interventions and providing a holistic care with use of digital technology. Further good quality randomized controlled trials and formulation of international consensus guidelines is the need of the hour and is highly recommended.

Despite the constant modernization of the athletes' training system, as well as the existing legislative framework aimed at innovative transformations in the field of physical education and sports, currently, there is no information on the use of interactive tools in the theoretical training of athletes in cyclic sports, and it does not meet modern requirements for training athletes. The study aimed to compare the assessment of effectiveness of training with the use of traditional and author's interactive tools of theoretical training. The study included 42 people involved in kayaking and canoeing at the stage of preliminary basic training. The sports experience of the subjects was 3-4 years, qualification at the level of II-III sports categories. Classes on the developed programs were conducted in the preparatory period of the macrocycle. In this work, the following research methods were used: theoretical analysis and generalization of literary sources, pedagogical observation, pedagogical experiment, pedagogical testing, methods of mathematical statistics. Conclusions. Training, in which only the theoretical training tools recommended by the curriculum were used, proved to be ineffective in most sections of knowledge at the stage of preliminary basic training of athletes. Training sessions with the use of interactive tools proved to be more effective than classes that used only the theoretical training tools recommended by the curriculum. Classes with the use of interactive theoretical training tools contributed more to the increase of the general level of theoretical training of young rowers at the stage of preliminary basic training – up to 60.5% (p<0.05) than classes using only theoretical training tools recommended by the curriculum. –up to 36.2% (p<0.05). Prospects forfurther research in this directioninclude the development andexperimental testing of the author'sinteractive tools for theoretical training,which will increase the level oftheoretical training of athletes atdifferent stages of training in cyclicalsports.

The relevance of the research is that frequent changes in the rules of competition in different types of martial arts affect the structure and content of competitive activities of athletes, therefore, they should be taken into account in the training process. However, the other consequences of the transformation of the rules of competition in Olympic combat sports are considered fragmentary by the authors. The aim of the study was to identify trends of changes in competition rules in modern Olympic combat sports. Research methods included theoretical analysis method, documentary method, generalization of literature data and the Internet. The results of the work consist in the analysis of changes in the competition rules over the last ten to fifteen years, approved by the following international sports federations: International Fencing Federation, International Boxing Association, the United World Wrestling (International Federation of Greco-Roman Wrestling, Free Wrestling and Women's Wrestling), World Karate Federation, International Judo Federation, World Taekwondo Federation. There were identified the following trends of changes in the competition rules in modern Olympic combat sports: the increase in entertainment and accessibility for spectators; consolidation of the duel and increasing the speed of performing technical and tactical actions; objectification of the judiciary; increasing the importance of each match at all stages of the competition; increased penalties for violations of the "disciplinary code of competition" and "passive" conduct of the fight; injury prevention. The necessity of improving the tactical knowledge of athletes and the search for new tactical schemes based on a detailed study of the actual rules of competition, which will ensure success not only in individual episodes of a match with certain opponents, but also at different stages of competitions in Olympic martial arts.

Relevance of the topic. The formation of hygienic knowledge which are necessary to maintain our own health is an extended period in the life of each pupil at all levels of education. An effectively developed and established system of hygienic knowledge in the organization of education of schoolchildren will maintain a stable level and favorable dynamics of the functional state of the body of pupils, their mental efficiency, will increase the desire to preserve personal health and will become part of the education of any cultural person. Purpose: assessment of the level of hygienic knowledge 34 students of the 3rd and 34 grades of secondary school No. 59 in Gomel attending extended-day groups. Methods: theoretical analysis and synthesis of data of scientific and methodical literature, questioning, test exercises and statistical methods of processing of materials. Results: the results of the questionnaire of pupils on the formation of hygienic knowledge have been determined. Among pupils of 3rd and 4th forms, the "middle" level of knowledge dominates. Conclusions: Familiarization of primary school pupils with the basics of their hygienic knowledge is one of the effective ways to involve children in physical exercise, sports, interest in physical improvement. The lesson of physical culture and health, due to its methodological features, cannot make up for the lack of this type of knowledge. Therefore, it is obvious that there is a need to develop additional educational material (methodological manuals, logical tasks on this topic, didactic games), to conduct quizzes, talks, information hours, to select modern, research-containing films and to watch them at optional classes, in extended-day groups, etc.).

Relevance of the research topic. The foundation of harmonious development of personality is laid in preschool age. However, the results of many studies have shown that in preschool children there is a tendency to deteriorate their physical development and, consequently, health. This fact is explained by the increase of computerization, aggravation of social problems, decrease in the level of motor activity, unsatisfactory sanitary and hygienic conditions, non-observance of the daily routine, etc. Therefore, the purpose of the study was to determine the indicators of physical development of 3- 6-year-old children. In the course of the study we used such research methods as: analysis of scientific and methodological literature on the topic of the research, anthropometry and methods of mathematical statistics. Results. Analysis of the mean group values of height and body weight of 3-6-year-old girls and boys revealed that they are slightly higher in boys than in girls. The most intensive increase in the above indicators was registered in the period from 4-5 to 5-6- years-old in both sexes. The comprehensive size of the chest of 3-4 and 4-5-year-old girls is smaller than boys of this age. The comprehensive size of the chest in 5-6-year-old girls and boys is almost no different. We measured head circumference in children of junior, middle and senior preschool age. We found that the girls’ average values at all ages are lower than in boys. It should be noted that the most intense increase in the average values of comprehensive size of the chest is observed in the period from 4-5 to 5-6 years, while a more intense increase in head circumference was recorded in the period from 3-4 to 4-5 years. Conclusions. Thus, the mean values of all anthropometric indicators that we used in our study are higher in boys than in girls.

The COVID-19 pandemic is a recent outbreak in almost all parts of the world including Ethiopia influencing the socio-economy of people and mainly threatening the agriculture and food security of the least developed countries. The current desk review and opinion synthesis by a multi-disciplinary team of experts from Haramaya University aimed at assessing the probable impact of the virus on the Ethiopian agriculture and food security and suggesting the possible mitigation and adaptation strategies to all responsible. Experts’ opinion and desk review of existing information were employed for the analysis and conclusions drawn, due to the difficulty of data generation at this time of movement restriction and poor database availability on websites of relevant institutions. Accordingly, the information gathered were synthesised and described following the major stages of food supply chains as production, handling and storage, processing and packaging, distribution and marketing, and consumption are key messages drawn from the overall assessment.
الآلات والأدوات الزراعية في بلاد الرافدين
Authors: Khadim Tahir Ahmed , Mansour Muhamad Fatin
Published: September 2020

منذ ظهور الانسان في القسم الشمالي من بلاد الرافدين، في العصر الحجري القديم كان يعيش في الكهوف معتمدا في غذائه على جمع القوت من النباتات والحشائش البرية وصيد الحيوانات بآلات وأدوات حجرية وعظمية بدائية بعضها للصيد وبعضها للدق وبعضها للقشط فضلاً عن استعمال الفأس، حتى حلول العصر الحجري الوسيط (15000-10000 ق.م) وبعد تحسن المناخ بدأ هذا الانسان ينزح الى المناطق المكشوفة ويكّون اول تجمعات سكانية وذلك في موقع زاوي جمي(1) وملفعات(2) وكريم شهر(3)، التي هي عبارة عن مستوطنات موسمية وليست دائمية.

     عُدّ العصر الحجري الوسيط البداية الأولى للزراعة البدائية وذلك بسبب التجمع السكاني الأول، وعُدّ كذلك البداية الأولى لإنتاج القوت بعد أن كان جامعاً للقوت فضلا عن تدجين بعض الحيوانات، وفي هذا العصر تطورت آلاته وادواته الحجرية، إذ ظهرت أدوات الدقّ والسحق والهاون والرحى، وعند حلول العصر الحجري الحديث حوالي (10000 ق.م) تطورت فكرة الاستيطان الجماعي الأمر الذي ادى إلى ظهور أولى القرى السكانية الزراعية في شمال بلاد الرافدين مثل جرمو(4) وحسونة(5) وتل الصوان(6) وهذه القرى تطورت فيها الزراعة ودُجنت فيها الحيوانات، ظهور هذه القرى الزراعية أدى إلى تطور فكرة إنتاج المحاصيل وحصدها وخزنها, وبعد أن كانت الأدوات الزراعية الأولى حجرية بدائية مثل المناجل الحجرية لقطع النباتات والرحى الحجرية لطحن الحبوب، تطورت الزراعة بمرور الزمن إذ توسعت الأراضي الزراعية بِتوسع القرى الاستيطانية منذ الألف الخامس قبل الميلاد إذ احتاجت تلك الزراعة إلى ابتكار ادوات زراعية جديدة تفي بالغرض المطلوب من إنتاج وحصاد المحاصيل الزراعية الكثيرة، لذا مرت الآلات الزراعية بعدة مراحل تطوريّة اسهمت في وصولها إلى قمة تطور الزراعة ونجاحها في تلك العصور.

 

     كان للآلات الزراعية أهمية كبرى عند الإنسان الرافديني، وجاءت هذه الأهمية من خلال الصفة الدينية لبعض هذه الآلات بتمثيلها رموزاً لعدة من الآلهة(7)، إذ مثل المحراث رمزاً للإله شمش والإله ننورتا، والمسحاة رمزاً للإله شمش، والمجرفة رمزاً للإله مردوك، والفأس رمزاً للإله أدد(8). سوف نتناول في هذا البحث الآلات الزراعية لأهميتها في تطور الزراعة في بلاد الرافدين وتضم الآلات الزراعية المستعملة في الزراعة كالسقي والحصاد.
دراسة مرجعية للمراحل الأولى لاستكشاف النفط في العراق
Authors: Qasim Hadi Safaqis
Published: September 2020

إن معرفة النفط في العراق تعود الى آلاف السنين، إذ ورد ذكره في الكتب المقدسة بـ( النار الازلية). وقد استعمله البابليون في البناء ورصف الجدران. واستعمله القدماء في الطب والحروب. وكان سكان العراق في كل من مندلي والقيارة وكركوك يستعملون بطريقة بدائية منذ مطلع القرن التاسع عشر، ومن بعد ذلك توالت الشركات الأجنبية للبحث عن النفط في العراق.

بعد ما قامت بعثة المانية بدراسة جيولوجية لسطح العراق عام 1871 وأعلنت بوجود النفط وبكميات هائلة في العراق. ومنذ ذلك الوقت أصبح العراق مركزاً للتنافس الأجنبي للتنقيب وإنتاج النفط. وقد حصلت شركات عدة على امتيازات لاستثمار النفط لاسيما المانيا وبريطانيا وفرنسا والولايات لمتحدة وهولندا. وقد اثر قيام الحرب العالمية الأولى في استثمار النفط. وقد تم تأميم شركات نفطية عدة التي انتهت ببداية تأميم النفط في العراق. ويختلف توزيع الجغرافي لحقول النفط من حيث الكمية والنوعية بين المكامن النفطية الشمالية والجنوبية تبعاً لنوعية الصخور والتكوين الجيولوجي لسطح العراق.
Marimurtra, la república dels biòlegs
Authors: Puigventós López Eduard
Published: September 2020

Per bé que s’expliquen prou al llibre, vull destacar dos aspectes relatius al biografiat —rara avis del món científic de Catalunya, tan mancat de mecenes— que diria que els catalans hauríem de tenir ben presents. Un: Marimurtra és l’obra d’un alemany, d’una persona de cultura centreeuropea; no de cap compatriota nostre. I dos: Faust, un empresari que va aplegar una fortuna considerable, va morir sense un cèntim a la butxaca perquè ho havia deixat tot a la fundació que duu el seu nom per a la continuïtat del seu jardí. Seguia amb això el pensament de Johann W. von Goethe sobre l’obligació de cadascú de construir alguna cosa per, en anar-nos-en, deixar-la en benefici del proïsme.
Malauradament aquesta bella història —com m’agrada anomenar-la— va tenir un moment molt dur. Faust, que va acabar els seus dies al costat de les plantes que tant estimava, es devia sentir molt sol i amb un dubte, raonable i molt trist per a ell, sobre la supervivència de la seva obra. Ara Faust reposa en una tomba al cementiri de Blanes i també assegut en un banc del passeig de mar, llegint "Wilhelm Meisters Lehrjahre" de Goethe. En una pausa de la lectura, aixeca la mirada en direcció a Marimurtra i somriu satisfet.

Essa pesquisa foi desenvolvida como um requisito obrigatório de conclusão do curso de Pedagogia da Faculdade Educacional Lapa – FAEL, no Polo de Tijucas, Santa Catarina, brasil, ocorrida no ano de 2019. Para este artigo, buscou-se agregar novas reflexões enriquecendo ainda mais o trabalho em relação as interações e brincadeiras vivenciadas nos espaços de Educação Infantil. Visto que, segundo as Diretrizes Nacionais Curriculares para Educação Infantil (DCNEI, 2009) as interações e brincadeiras são eixos estruturantes da prática pedagógica desenvolvida com as crianças na primeira infância. Como objetivo apresentamos compreender a importância das brincadeiras e interações para o desenvolvimento infantil, discutindo a organização dos espaços como possibilidade potencializadora no processo de interações e brincadeiras e para o protagonismo infantil. Para dar suporte aos objetivos propostos, procurou-se analisar como os educadores estão desenvolvendo suas práticas pedagógicas para a promoção das interações e brincadeiras no Centro Municipal de Educação Infantil (CMEI) Mauri Afonso da Silva, localizado no município de Tijucas, Estado de Santa Catarina, Brasil. Para alcançar os objetivos propostos, delineamos os caminhos metodológicos que deram suporte a nossa investigação. Assim, essa pesquisa tem caráter qualitativo, com uma aproximação a pesquisa de campo. Com isso foi possível observar e analisar os fenômenos vivenciados pelo cotidiano da pesquisa. Para a discussão sobre a importância dos espaços para o protagonismo infantil, buscamos um aprofundamento teórico com as contribuições de Piaget, Vygotsky, Wallon, Friedmann, Zabalza, Horn, entre outros, que ajudaram a pensar e refletir a temática apresentada.
