Populism in the pre-election period: Analysis of the social discourse on the topic of migration in Slovak parliamentary election campaign 2020
Authors: Loziak Alexander , Piterová Ivana , Papcunová Jana
Published: December 2022

The topic of migration is often used by populist and non-populist politicians in order to arouse emotions, polarise social attitudes and thus mobilise voters. The present study aims to identify themes (a cognitive aspect of attitudes) and discrete emotions (an emotional aspect of attitudes) in online social discourse as a reaction to the media posts of the main Slovak political parties on the topic of migration in the pre-election period (January-February 2020). Methodological triangulation of discourse analysis and Text mining was used to analyse the data. Analysis of the discourse revealed that articles with pro-migrant rhetoric provoked more discussion about the security and identity threat, while articles by populists provoked more discussion about the morality of elites and the economic threat of migration. The evoked sentiment throughout the discourse leaned more towards negative emotions (fear, anger) but pro-migrant articles and articles by non-populist politicians evoked also positive emotions (joy). Results indicate that rather than fear of migration, the anticipation of a change in the morale of the elites was the key element of the pre-election period in Slovakia. Limitations and implications of the study are further discussed. The value of this paper lies in focusing on both emotional and cognitive aspects of attitudes towards migration.
Emotions in political discourse and social narratives: sociological reflections on traditional and new media
Authors: D'Ambrosio Mariangela
Published: December 2022

Emotions have re-emerged as a central topic of sociological interest, especially today, in a complex social and political historical moment. Even politics and events narration is not exempt from the emotional compartment. New technologies and social media (including social networks) have changed communication, relationship processes, and social interaction, moving from a vertical to a horizontal narrative. We live in a “platform society” (Van Dijck, 2018) as online sites and social networks specialized for discussion were also come up with the organization of decision-making processes and the activation of democratic practices in their different “onlife” manifestations. However, one thing should be emphasized: platforms reproduce the social structures in which individuals live between participation, freedom of expression and the elaboration of public political debate. The article aims to synthetically reconstruct the sociological discourse on emotions in political discourse and social narrative and communication through traditional and new media.
Besieged fortress syndrome as an element in building the emotions of populism
Authors: Ziółkowski Jacek
Published: December 2022

The aim of this paper is to show the relationship between the besieged fortress syndrome, understood as a specific social engineering tool, and populism understood as a type of propaganda narrative. Particular attention has been paid here to the emotional aspect related to arousing the atmosphere of the siege. These are negative emotions, which in the siege syndrome are directed beyond the boundaries of the social system, and in the case of populism, negative emotions are directed towards the indicated intra-system entities. An important assumption is a thesis that negative emotions in both phenomena constitute only a starting point for arousing positive emotions towards the community subjected to socio-technical pressure, and above all, positive emotions that are supposed to create a strong bond between the political leader, the propaganda promoter of the threat, and their supporters or followers.

A Study of the Soviet Union’s Historic Issues Since China’s Reform and Opening-Up
Authors: Zuo Fengrong
Published: December 2022

From the late 1970s to the present, Chinese research on the historic issues of the Soviet Union can be roughly divided into three stages. First, around the reform and opening-up of China, the Chinese academic circle focused on the study of Soviet Union’s important historic figures and events, and also began to study their institutional problems. Second, at the beginning of the collapse of the Soviet Union, the Chinese academics explored the causes for the dramatic changes in the Soviet Union from the perspective of learning from their lessons, and delved into the deeper problems troubling the country. Third, since the beginning of the new century, with the declassification of a large amount of archival materials, Chinese academics have studied the Soviet issues in greater depth and breadth.

Published: December 2022

In order to improve the security of power remote telemetry system, this paper studies the parameter identification method of power remote telemetry system based on real-time cross-section data and error-proof topology analysis. The method is based on a synchronization vector measurement unit. It uses the multi-source measurement method to fuse the real-time cross-section data of the power remote telemetry system, we reconstruct the fault-proof topology map of the power grid based on the fused real-time cross-section data. And according to the grid error prevention topology diagram, we set the grid line impedance parameters, calculate the sum and variance of voltage squares and so on. After the set parameters are established, the constraint conditions are divided, and the constraint conditions are transformed by linear function through quadratic programming. By judging whether the parameter identification function complies with its constraints, the parameter identification of the power remote telemetry system is realized. The experimental results show that this method can accurately obtain the real-time cross-section data of the power remote telemetry system. Moreover, it can accurately reconstruct the fault-proof topology of the power grid, and the maximum deviation of parameter identification is only 0.5223.
‘Fluid’ Identity in Text-Building: A Study of the Revitalization of Origin Tales in West Hunan, China
Authors: Peng Lijing
Published: December 2022

My research looks into the revitalization of Miao origin myths in the West Hunan minority ethnic autonomous prefecture in China. Based on two years of fieldwork and archival studies, I propose that West Hunan people’s active perception and interpretation of origin myths and folklore of the Miao people comprise and emphasize curational practices of restructuring historical narratives with a special focus on counter-narrativization. I argue that these efforts challenge lineal historical narration by providing counter-curational perspectives. Interpretations of myths and folklore over the issue of Miao identity reveal curations and counter-curations carried out by different institutions and individuals out of various political and social concerns. Overall, the recent revitalization of origin stories about the Heavenly Kings and the various presentations of Miao origin myths demonstrate the fluidity of minority ethnic identity, which combines the construction of linear history (military/political expansion and Sinicization, when non-Han societies came under the influences of Han culture, language, and ethnic identity) and the construction of mythic history (conveying principles and morality). My case studies illustrates counter-curational practices carried out by individuals and local cultural institutions, which lead to restructuring of historical narratives and counter-curational interpretations of minority ethnic cultures.
When Should Governments Invest More in Nudging? Revisiting Benartzi et al. (2017)
Authors: Tor Avishalom , Klick Jonathan
Published: December 2022

Highly influential recent work by Benartzi et al. (2017) argues—using comparisons of effectiveness and costs—that behavioral interventions (or nudges) offer more cost-effective means than traditional regulatory instruments for changing individual behavior to achieve desirable policy goals. Based on this finding, these authors further conclude that governments and other organizations should increase their investments in nudging to supplement traditional interventions. Yet a closer look at Benartzi et al.’s (2017) own data and analysis reveals that they variously exclude and include key cost elements to the benefit of behavioral instruments over traditional ones and overstate the utility of cost-effectiveness analysis for policy selection. Once these methodological shortcomings are corrected, a reassessment of key policies evaluated by the authors reveals that nudges do not consistently outperform traditional interventions, neither under cost-effectiveness analysis nor under the methodologically required cost-benefit analysis. These illustrative findings demonstrate that governments concerned with social welfare cannot simply assume the superiority of behavioral instruments and should strive instead to conduct cost-benefit analyses of competing interventions, including nudges, to identify the most efficient of the available instruments.

Jelen tanulmány célja a bizalom mérésének vizsgálata kérdőíves (survey) módszerrel, melyhez az European Social Survey 2002 és 2018 közötti magyar adatait használom. A tanulmány lényegében az általánosított bizalom mérésének érvényességére fókuszál. Ez azért is fontos, mert a standard bizalom kérdést és a fogalomhoz kapcsolódó általánosított bizalomkérdéseket gyakran makroszintű tudományos és szakpolitikai állítások megfogalmazására használják, és indikátorai a különböző szociológiai, közgazdaságtani, pszichológiai, és politikatudományi kutatásoknak. Azonban, ha ezek az eredmények nem működnek jól mikroszinten, akkor makroszinten is át kell gondolni a használatukat.

Published: December 2022

The production of material with high precission and high complexity has been rapidly increasing in several industrial sector. The high accuracy is difficult to achieve during manufacturing due to vibration factors that influenced the final product of material. In this study the relationship between particle size and percentage of marble aggregate with epoxy resin on damping capacity was studied systematically. The Composite materials were fabricated by using conventional casting technique with 10, 25, and 50% volume fraction of resin and two marble aggregate groups with 0.5-0.7 mm and 1.4-2.0 mm in particle size. The casting process was using multilayer pouring technologies to prevent void formation. 10% epoxy resin-fine marble aggregate has very good vibration result with 0.003 mm in displacement, 0.23 mm/s in velocity, and 0.2 m/s2 in acceleration. The 10% epoxy resin-fine marble aggregate also has the best damping ratio among the composite due to the large specific area and porosity inside the marble material with value of 0.5%. The multilayer pour techniques for composite has been successfully adapted in this study to minimalize void/bubble formation inside and upperside of epoxy resin during the fabrication of composite. The secondary electron image of composite was observed that the marble aggregates and epoxy resin bonding are very good and no crack or void formation in the interface of the marble aggregate and epoxy resin.

Published: December 2022

Distillery wastewater from the bioethanol industry contains a high level of organic content which can be converted into biogas. However, the presence of toxic compounds in this wastewater could inhibit biogas production. Therefore, prior detoxification of distillery wastewater is required. Fenton, one of the Advanced Oxidation Process (AOP) methods, was selected due to its high performance to degrade organic pollutants, short reaction time, and the process is simple and easy. Additionally, this method can also be used as a pretreatment for biogas production. This paper aims to study the improvement of biogas production from distillery wastewater by applying AOP Fenton as a pretreatment method. The experiment consists of two stages, the first was application of AOP Fenton to the distillery wastewater in order to determine its effect on the concentration of COD and some toxic compounds such as phenol and sulfate. The second stage was biogas production through anaerobic digestion process, which was carried out under two conditions of raw materials: (i) distillery wastewater without pretreatment of AOP Fenton as a control and (ii) distillery wastewater that has been treated with AOP Fenton as pretreatment. Results show a remarkable decrease in COD concentration by 45%, phenol (63%), and sulfate (18,6%) from distillery wastewater after applying AOP Fenton. It implies that the application of AOP Fenton significantly detoxified distillery wastewater. As a biogas pretreatment, this method also increased biogas production by 33% higher, from 2.399 mL (without pretreatment) to 3.191 mL (with pretreatment). It indicates that AOP Fenton increased the biodegradability of distillery wastewater. Thus, it was easier to be converted into biogas.

Published: December 2022

Sonocatalysis was used to study phenol degradation using a ZnO/WO3 composite. The degradation was assisted by ultrasonic waves at 40 KHz and conducted using the sonocatalysis technique. The degradation percentage was calculated using data from the UV-Vis spectrophotometer. The composite characterization results showed that the samples containing WO3, ZnO and also contained a new structure ZnWO4. The morphological length and width of the composites were revealed by SEM examination. Furthermore, heterogeneous particle sizes were discovered. The surface area of composite was bigger than before combined. The optimum condition in degradation of phenol by ZnO-WO3 composite are 0,4 g of catalyst at 30 ppm of phenol, 7 min reaction time with the greatest phenol degradation at 92,5%. The catalyst can be reused 5 times to degrade phenol at 85%. The composite catalyst and assisted with ultrasonic as the sonocatalytic technique are one of the most environmentally and cost effective.
Phytochemicals to regulate oxidative and electrophilic stress through Nrf2 activation
Authors: Abiko Yumi , Toriba Akira , Kumagai Yoshito
Published: December 2022

Graphical abstract

Intake of a variety of vegetables and fruit is found to be effective in promoting health; one of the reasons for this is activation of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), a basic leucine zipper protein. Nrf2 is activated by chemical modification of Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (Keap1), a negative regulator for this transcription factor, and specific phosphorylation of Nrf2, resulting in upregulation of its downstream gene products for antioxidant proteins, phase-II xenobiotic-metabolizing enzymes, and phase-III transporters. This type of activation plays a role in adaptive response and protection against oxidative and electrophilic stress. Multiple phytochemicals, such as curcumin, sulforaphane, and (E)-2-alkenals, have been identified as Nrf2 activators and may reduce the adverse health effects of oxidants and electrophiles. In this review, we introduce plant components that are known as Nrf2 activators and associated phytochemical-mediated reduction of risk from chemicals which cause oxidative and electrophilic stress. We also discuss the capture and inactivation of methylmercury, an electrophile, by sulfane sulfur atoms contained in garlic.

Published: December 2022

The optical properties of cadmium sulfide thin films obtained by thermal evaporation in vacuum were studied. The stoichiometric compositions of the binary compound previously synthesized from high-purity powders of the initial components were used. Films of different thicknesses deposited on a glass substrate were investigated using scanning electron microscopy and absorption coefficient was defined by the Swanepoel method. It was found that with increasing film thickness, surface formations decrease and at a thickness of 1 μm the film surface is continuous. It is determined that thin films of cadmium sulfide have optimal optical parameters for use as photovoltaic buffer layer. All the obtained films except the film with a thickness of 1215 nm show the usual interference pattern in the reflection spectra.

Rehabilitation of Perpetrators of International Crimes – Myth or Reality? Case Study of the International Criminal Tribunal for Former Yugoslavia
Authors: Strupinskienė Lina , Jankauskaitė-Činčė Indrė
Published: December 2022

Of the 92 persons convicted at the International Criminal Tribunal for Former Yugoslavia (ICTY), 60 have already served their sentences and were released. Even though perpetrators’ rehabilitation and their public behaviour in post-conflict environments are essential for countering denial, establishing an authoritative version of the truth, and sustainable reconciliation, we still know little about what happens after they return to their communities. This article attempts to examine ICTY convicts’ rehabilitation by assessing the quality and the result of existing rehabilitation programs (e.g., how much the public behaviour of those released matches the expectations of the victim’s community, what their relationship is with their guilt and crimes committed). Aside from secondary sources, it draws on 23 semi-structured interviews with victims of war, representatives from victims’ associations, and human rights advocates from the region. It finds that in the context of the absence of specialized rehabilitation programs and lack of oversight of the post-conviction stage at the ICTY, the convicted perpetrators return to communities that support and enable them. Hailed by specific enthusiastic audiences back home, ICTY convicts often fulfil their expectations, closing a vicious circle that dramatically curbs the individual or collective transformative potential of their punishment regarding reckoning with the past and moving towards reconciliation.

Authors: Foster Ashley A. , Porter John J. , Monuteaux Michael C. , Hoffmann Jennifer A. , Li Joyce , Lee Lois K. , Hudgins Joel D.
Published: December 2022

Objectives

Emergency department (ED) utilization by children with mental and behavioral health (MBH) conditions is increasing. During these visits, pharmacologic restraint may be used to manage acute agitation. Factors associated with pharmacologic restraint use are not well described.

Methods

This was a retrospective cohort study of ED visits from the Pediatric Health Information System database, 2010-2020. We included visits by children 3–21 years with a primary MBH diagnosis and identified visits with pharmacologic restraint. Regression models were used to analyze the association between patient- and hospital-level factors and restraint.

Results

Of 545 800 ED MBH visits over the study period, 22 194 visits (4.1%) involved pharmacologic restraint use. In multivariable analysis, restraint was associated with ages 18–21 years (odds ratio [OR], 1.88; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.59–2.22), male sex (OR, 1.25; 95% CI, 1.16–1.34), Black race (OR, 1.22; 95% CI, 1.09–1.35), visits starting overnight (OR, 1.68; 95% CI, 1.45–1.96), or the weekend (OR, 1.26; 95% CI, 1.22–1.30), and repeat ED visits (OR, 1.31; 95% CI, 1.17–1.47). Every 100-visit increase in average annual MBH volume was associated with a 0.09% decrease in restraint (95% CI, –0.15 to –0.04) with no significant association between average annual ED volume and restraint (95% CI, –0.25 to 0.25).

Conclusions

For children in the ED with MBH conditions, ages 18–21 years, male sex, Black race, visits starting overnight or the weekend, and repeat ED visits were associated with pharmacologic restraint. These results can inform strategies to reduce restraint use and ensure safe and equitable ED care.

Gli studi italiani di lessicografia e la scuola tedesco-danese
Authors: Tosi Renzo
Published: December 2022

Investigation about Greek lexicography is very important for the Byzantine culture and for the knowledge of classical authors. The German-Danish school has studied lexicography with a historical view and in particular in the nineteenth century it reconstructed lost lexicons. In contrast, the Italian school had a functionalist and structuralist approach. In recent years, however, scholars have adopted the best aspects of both schools. Indeed, now the method of lexicographic studies is unitary.
The Klimata of Cherson in the Theme Period
Authors:   Institute of Archaeology of the Crimea of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Aibabin Aleksandr Il’ich
Published: December 2022

The theme period in the Klimata of Cherson started in 841. Using the Khazars’ dependence on the Eastern Roman Empire military assistance, Emperor Theophilos returned the towns and forts located on the Inner Range of the Crimean Mountains and established there a new military and administrative unit, the thema (θέμα). The strategos of this theme controlled the fortress of Cherson and neighbouring Klimata, the latter were governed by local archontes. The strategos held supreme power in the region. The archontes were recognized as the Empire’s officials. The strategos was in charge of judicial, financial, and tax affairs of the province; he was responsible for maintaning order in the territory entrusted to him. Apparently in 850 or 860, the theme was called the theme of Cherson by the seals. According to the materials of archaeological excavations, fortifications in the κάστρον and πολίσματα on the plateaux of Mangup, Eski-­Kermen, and Bakla were partly restored, and a new fort atop of the high plateau of Suiren’ was constructed following the establishment of the theme. In the late tenth century, the theme of Cherson was divided into the tourmai of Cherson and Gothia, and the Klimata were reorganized into the topoteresiai. The officers of the Byzantine army were charged with commanding the tourmai and topoteresiai. The tourmarches of Gothia had the title of spatharios, typical of the Byzantine tourmarchai. His residence was in the fortress atop of the plateau of Mangup. There is an inscription informing that the topoteretes commanded his troop and also supervised the reconstruction of fortifications. In the second half of the eleventh century, the town of Sougdaia was included into the theme of Cherson. Probably a few years after, the theme was transformed into the katepanate. The limits of the katepanate of Cherson remain obscure. It comprised of the theme of Cherson with the topoteresiai of the tourma of Gothia, Sougdaia, and Khazaria. From the seals of Byzantine aristocrats originating from the territory of the Klimata and the materials of archaeological excavations of the towns and forts located on the Inner Mountain Range, there are reasons to suppose that the Eastern Roman Empire kept control over Gothia as long as it was defeated by the Crusaders in 1204.
Images of Fishes on the Glazed Ware from Sougdaia from the Second Half of Thirteenth and Fourteenth Centuries
Authors:   Institute of Archaeology of the Crimea of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Maiko Vadim Vladislavovich
Published: December 2022

The article supplies the information on the glazed pottery showing the images of fishes obtained during all the years of excavations at mediaeval Sougdaia and collected for the first time. According to the scholars who have analysed the zoomorphic scenes on the glazed pottery from Sougdaia dating to the Byzantine and Golden Horde Periods, there was almost complete predominance of images of birds, with a minimum number of those of animals. The images of fishes are more than four times less common than birds. In total, the collection of pottery originating from the excavations at the ancient town of Sougdaia comprises ten specimens, four of which were imported from Byzantium and the rest were locally made. This is one of the most representative collections of the kind in the Crimean Peninsula. It does not include the plates depicting fishes and belonging to the Italian group graffita arcaica tirennica from Savona, which were uncovered by the underwater researches in the bay of the modern settlement of Novyi Svet. So far, this type of plates does not occur in the ancient town of Sougdaia. In the collection in question, there is one fragment combining the images of a bird and a fish. Archaeological contexts of finds in questions vary from closed assemblages from the second half of the twelfth century to closed assemblages and stratigraphical horizons from the second half of the fourteenth century. Among the local ware, there are three groups showing specific scenes. The origins of the images of fishes on them are most likely associated with the Byzantine pottery group Fine Sgraffito Ware produced by pottery workshops of Halkis.
On the Despotate of the Morea’s Service: The Participation of Albanian Population in the Political Events in the Peloponnesos in the First Half of the Fifteenth Century
Authors:   Ural Federal University, Belorussova Tatiana Evgenievna
Published: December 2022

In the late fourteenth century, Albanian tribes moved from Thessaly and settled in the Peloponnesos getting the permission from the Despotes of the Morea, Theodore I Palaiologos (1383–1407). Although this migration changed the ethnic situation in the despotate, it solved some economic and demographic problems. In particular, the Albanians replenished the army of the despotes. This article analyzes the participation of the Albanian tribes in the political events in the Despotate of Morea in the first half of the fifteenth century. The aim is to reveal whether the Albanian warriors really got a privileged status in the Morea and to determine their significance for the policy of the despotai of the Morea. The source base of this research is the fifteenth-­century Byzantine epistolary and narrative sources, as well as the official documentation of the rulers of the Morea. It has been revealed that the Byzantine despotai actively encouraged the Albanians to military service, thus contributing to their promotion in the despotate. A significant number of Albanians were involved in the defense of the peninsula from the Ottoman Turks. Despite the privileges granted to their leaders, the Albanians remained strangers to the Romaioi: as long as the mid-fifteenth century, they were a particular ethnic group of the population of the Morea; as soon as they got an opportunity, the Albanians rebelled against the Byzantine rulers and declared themselves as an independent political force of the Morea.
Imitation of the Late Byzantine Pottery Samples by the Local Production in the Genoese Castle of Cembalo
Authors:   The State Museum-Preserve “Tauric Chersonese”, Ginkut Nataliia Vitalievna ,   Institute of Oriental Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences
Published: December 2022

The appearance of the local centres of glazed ware production in the Palaiologean Period allowed the development of local schools of parade table ware. In the Crimean Peninsula, the local production centres were active in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. In the Genoese castle of Cembalo, there were glazed ware workshops from the second half of the fourteenth to the third quarter of the fifteenth century. Along with the manufacture of various forms of original pottery, the artisans of these workshops copied the ornamental compositions which were popular in the Mediterranean area. This article addresses the vessels attributed to the so-called “imitations” or “counterfeits”, which reproduced the samples of the Byzantine glazed pottery of the group of Elaborate Incised Ware, so widespread in the region. Among these vessels, there possibly were the pieces produced in the same workshop or by the same artisan: small handleless cups with small flaring ring-base, bowls, and tureens or dishes with the so-called “aslant” ring-base typical of the Byzantine pottery from the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. The finds in question testify to the popularity of the Byzantine Elaborate Incised Ware in the Northern Black Sea Area, and the Genoese castle of Cembalo in particular, in the fourteenth and early fifteenth centuries.

The volume contains papers on Dutch, Frisian, German, Greek, Norwegian and Turkish in North America. Together, the collection can be considered a showcase of the state of the field of studies of heritage languages, languages that are non-dominant languages in a given setting, often with little local prestige.
Restrictive relative clauses in Greek Heritage speakers in the US
Authors: Alexiadou Artemis , Rizou Vasiliki
Published: December 2022

This paper investigates the production of restrictive relative clauses (henceforth RRCs) in Heritage Greek in contact with US English. In Greek, RRCS are introduced either by the pronoun o opios ‘the who’ which agrees with the nominal head it modifies and is preferred in formal registers; or by the un-inflected complementizer pu 'that', which appears mostly in colloquial speech. In English, RRCs are introduced by the non-agreeing pronouns who and which and by the complementizer that. The findings suggest that both groups favour the production of pu RRCs but we cannot attribute the overuse of pu RRCs by HSs to English interference. There is no clear evidence that o opios is preferred in formal registers by monolinguals and we argue that HSs avoid o opios RRCs as they have difficulties with establishing agreement between nouns and modifiers. This is corroborated by their use of the English non-agreeing pronouns who and which.

PERSPECTIVES FOR TEACHER TRAINING IN THE WORKS OF MATHEMATICS FAIR: A LOOK AT THE TEACHER CATEGORY
Authors: SCHELLER MORGANA , GONÇALVES ARACELI
Published: December 2022

ABSTRACT: Teacher training in Brazil has been the focus of interest and research in recent decades and has contributed to the understanding and advancement of the area. However, when its direction moves towards Mathematics Fair, research is still incipient. To contribute to this data change, the present study is the result of qualitative research centered on the problem: what teacher training perspectives can be revealed from the written texts from works presented in the category Santa Catarina’s teachers at Math Fair? For this purpose, the corpus of analysis consisted of 38 publications registered from annals, relating to the category Teacher, for the period from 2014 to 2019. The descriptive and interpretative analysis of the corpus revealed that there are different perspectives for teacher training: one is more prominently, closer to practical rationality; another is more related to critical rationality; and, finally, a third one that is related to technical rationality. Therefore, it is possible to evidence a tendency of the lecturing teacher to report practices, which seek to overcome the traditional, prominently valuing the actions from their own successful experiences, but also with a view from the praxis. We conclude by indicating the relevance of discussions in the scope of the Math Fair about the implications of each identified training perspective, as well as suggesting problematizing the Teacher category.
FOR THE RIGHT TO LEARN: THE CONTRIBUTIONS OF THE SOCIAL MODEL OF DISABILITY TO SCHOOL INCLUSION
Authors: PICCOLO GUSTAVO MARTINS
Published: December 2022

ABSTRACT: This theoretical article, elaborated from an integrative literature review process, makes an unswerving defense of the concept of inclusion, taken as a cornerstone, the production of a democratic and liberating educational practice. It challenges head-on the temporarily suspended Presidential Decree no. 10.502 of September 30, 2020, which establishes the new National Policy for Special Education, believing that it is based on a fragile idea of inclusion as restricted to the presence of students with disabilities in regular classrooms, without considering the deep and unpostponable transformations that the supposedly inclusive denotes to enable everyone to learn satisfactorily, with a view to equal participation in society. The theoretical scope which guides the critical lines established herein refers to the literature conventionally called the social model of disability, which has the understanding of disability under the prism of historical production as its central idea and from the perspective that the person with a disability is not reduced to their deficit. The texts employed in this article take this assumption as a driving force when visualizing in the experience of disability endless educational possibilities which allow enriching and complexifying human development and the ways of intervention concerning the environment around us from original platforms with a positive impact in the whole collectivity. It links such relationships in school environments to curricular adjustments, didactic reconfigurations, construction of accessible spaces, and the transformation of the very meaning by which disability is conceived in the school terrain.
Ontologia para historiadores: Do trauma à nostalgia
Authors: ALMEIDA Tiago Santos
Published: December 2022

Resumo O artigo propõe uma apresentação da noção de “ontologia histórica” tal como elaborada por Michel Foucault e desenvolvida por Ian Hacking. Essa apresentação será feita a partir do estudo de dois conceitos concretos, que dizem respeito à relação entre história e memória, e se tornaram de grande importância para o debate teórico dos historiadores brasileiros: trauma e nostalgia. A partir de um diálogo com a obra da historiadora Lorraine Daston e levando em conta os seus débitos em relação aos trabalhos de Georges Canguilhem e Michel Foucault, o artigo mostra como aquelas duas categorias meta- históricas permitem articular ontologia histórica, epistemologia histórica e metafísica aplicada. A partir da historicidade daquelas duas categorias, argumenta-se que a história da medicina e a história das doenças podem contribuir para uma compreensão alargada sobre o sentido do trauma e da nostalgia na vida social, subjetiva e intelectual na modernidade.

Abstract The prison officer profession is characterized by working in risky situations, which can harm officers’ mental health. This research aimed to analyze prison officers’ working conditions associated with Common Mental Disorders (CMD). This cross-sectional study was conducted with prison officers in four penitentiary units in the inland region of the State of São Paulo, Brazil, from January to August 2019. The Self-Reporting Questionnaire (SRQ-20) tool was employed to quantify the presence of CMDs. Poisson regression verified the association between variables with robust variance and adjusted for confounding factors to estimate the prevalence ratio (PR) and 95% confidence interval (CI). The study population comprised 331 prison officers (ASP), with a 33.5% frequency of CMDs. CMDs were higher among prison officers with a worse perception of working conditions (PR: 1.13; 95%CI%: 1.03-1.24), who suffered insults (PR: 1.18; 95%CI: 1.08-1.29), psychological harassment (PR: 1.23; 95%CI: 1.11-1.36) and sexual harassment (PR: 1.20; 95%CI: 1.03-1.40) in the last 12 months. CMDs were associated with work-related variables, such as worse environmental conditions within the prison and psychological and sexual violence.
Impact of the World Wars and the Cold War on Langston Hughes
Authors: He Yanli
Published: December 2022

Abstract The two World Wars and the Cold War had a profound impact on Langston Hughes. World War I and the October Revolution wove a web that connected the Soviet Union and its socialist cause to African Americans, and then the Yokinen and Scottsboro trials directly nurtured the “New Red Negro” writings with the spirit of rising “up from bondage” as oppressed people. Hughes traveled the world, became a global citizen, and assumed a cosmopolitan mission for international and racial affairs. However, the Nazi-Soviet Pact changed his view of the world. Hughes began to focus on the problems of “colored soldiers” and compared the advantages and disadvantages of the United States of America and the Soviet Union. When the Iron Curtain came about, McCarthyism drove Hughes to stay in the United States, maintain a distance from international and political affairs, confirm his national position, and rely on writing children’s books for a living, as well as translating and editing others’ works.
Arte de combate: a atuação de Mário de Andrade na Era Vargas
Authors: Cunha Bruna Araujo
Published: December 2022

Resumo A partir do poema “Abre-te boca e proclama”, do livro Lira paulistana (1945), de Mário de Andrade, este artigo analisa a relação entre produção intelectual e censura na Era Vargas, como um dos ecos da Segunda Guerra Mundial no contexto brasileiro. A Era Vargas foi marcada por um governo autoritário que recorreu à censura e à propaganda para manter seu funcionamento político populista por meio da cooptação de intelectuais para compor o funcionalismo público. Exercendo uma dupla função, muitos autores utilizaram de diferentes artifícios para publicarem suas obras ou fizeram uso das diferentes formas de silenciamento para conciliarem suas funções, pois o Estado era, também, o caminho possível para a realização do bem coletivo. Desse modo, a escrita literária necessitava de cautela e sabedoria para ser, ao mesmo tempo, uma arma contra o governo Vargas, e um caminho para a democratização da cultura no país.
