Authors: Melekestseva I. Yu. , Maslennikov V. V. , Tret’yakov G. A.
Published: April 2022

Research subject. The transformed clastic ores (ore diagenites) of the Ishkinino Co-bearing massive sulfide deposit hosted by serpentinites of the Main Uralian Fault Zone.

Materials and methods. The structures and textures of the ores were stu died. The trace element contents of sulfides and oxides were determined using LA ICP MS. The physical and chemical modeling of the diagenetic formation of accessory As minerals was conducted using the Selektor program package. 

Results. The clastic ores are transformed gravelites with angular and rounded clasts of serpentinites, sulfides and chromite in the psammitic matrix of the same mineral composition. No hydrothermal minerals remain in gravelites; they are replaced by crystalline pyrite-2, porous pyrite-3, anhedral pyrite-4, pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite and magnetite. Chalcopyrite and magnetite replace all sulfides, sulfarsenides, chromite and gangue minerals. Chromite occurs as fragmented crystals or inclusions into serpentinite clasts. The matrix hosts euhedral cobaltite crystals with nickeline, gersdorffite and native gold inclusions. Crystalline pyrite-2 is characterized by higher Mn, Co, Ni, Cu and Zn contents. Porous pyrite-3 exhibits higher Co, Cu and Se contents. Anhedral pyrite-4 is enriched in most trace element contents in comparison with other sulfides and pyrite generations. Chalcopyrite is characterized by higher contents of Zn and Se. Pyrrhotite contains the highest Ni and hi gher Co contents.

Conclusions. The main trace elements in the ores of the deposit (Co and Ni), as well as Cu, Zn and Mn, are hosted not only in sulfides, but also in oxides. Thus, chromite contains Zn and Ni, while magnetite contains Mn and Cu. Selenium occurs in all sulfides in similar quantities. Tellurium is mostly concentrated in pyrite-4. A comparative analysis of our results with those reported on other massive sulfide deposits showed that the serpentinite-sulfide gravelites of the Ishkinino deposit had been intensely transformed during diagenesis, which resulted in low trace element contents in diagenetic sulfides. The diagenetic alteration of clastic ores led to the formation of authigenic cobaltite, gersdorffite, nickeline and native gold as a result of trace element release from primary hydrothermal minerals. Thermodynamic mode ling showed the possibility of formation of As-bearing minerals (in particular, nickeline) at temperatures of 200°C and below.

The main factors determining the need for the widespread development of the green economy and the growing need for the use of renewable energy sources are identified. The article highlights the possibility of using green energy devices in agricultural complexes and proposes a model for assessing the impact of using solar concentrators together with the agricultural crops on the productivity of the latter. The comparison is made for two countries – Azerbaijan and Mexico, in which economy the oil industry is leading. It is shown that the relief and climate of both countries have many common features, particularly expressed in the abundance of solar radiation, the predominance of mountainous regions with remote and hard-to-reach settlements that need to create autonomous life support systems. The problem of combining solar energy and agriculture is analyzed, examples of successful experiments in this area are given, objective functions and models are proposed to establish the relationship between the parameters of agricultural fields and the characteristics of concentrators.

Published: April 2022

O Colégio Santa Cruz integrou o movimento das classes secundárias experimentais, ocorrido na educação brasileira a partir do final da década de 1950. Para tanto, este colégio católico e masculino, localizado na cidade de São Paulo, apropriou-se, a partir de 1959, da Pedagogia Personalizada e Comunitária proposta por Pierre Faure. Colocando o foco sobre duas práticas dessa pedagogia, quais sejam: a organização do espaço e do tempo escolares e o ensino realizado através do estudo dirigido e do uso de fichas de trabalho, este estudo procura compreender a importância dessas inovações na vida escolar daqueles que fizeram parte da classe secundária experimental do Colégio Santa Cruz. A principal fonte sobre tais práticas escolares é a entrevista concedida pelo ex-aluno do curso ginasial Henrique Lindberg Neto. Assim, a classe experimental no Colégio Santa Cruz contribuiu para dar aos alunos mais autonomia, afastando-se do tradicionalismo pedagógico dominante no ensino secundário brasileiro.
Todas las violencias : conversaciones sociales en torno al conflicto en el pacífico caucano.
Authors: Osorio Garcés Carlos Enrique , Clavijo Gallego Tulio Andrés
Published: April 2022

Este texto surge como producto de un diálogo social con activistas y líderes de la región del Pacífico en el departamento del Cauca, mismos que desde hace más de 30 años han asumido los procesos de resistencia y reivindicación de lucha por el reconocimiento y la autonomía comunitaria. Los acercamientos que iniciaron en la segunda mitad de la década de 1980 se han enriquecido política y académicamente, al asumir rutas de acompañamiento y de solidaridad con las comunidades, con sus territorios, historias, memorias, conocimientos, luchas y expectativas. Durante este periodo de tiempo, por experiencias vivenciales, académicas e institucionales, se aprecia un deterioro y un agudizamiento de los procesos de confrontación, desde la lucha armada por el territorio —expresada tendencialmente por el narcotráfico y la minería ilegal—, hasta la violencia política, socio-racial, cultural y epistémica, acentuada además por los crímenes en contra del medio ambiente.
Ethical standards of conduct of the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court.
Authors: Nureeva Liaisan Rustamovna
Published: April 2022

The article examines normative documents that establish standards and requirements for ethical and professional behavior of prosecutors of the International Criminal Court. The history of the formation of the International Criminal Court is considered. The analysis of the procedural position of the prosecutor in the system of international justice is carried out. The requirements that persons recommended for appointment to the post of Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court should have are considered. The main ethical standards of behavior of the staff of the Office of the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court have been identified. The main normative document of the International Criminal Court - the Rome Statute is considered. The main tasks and fundamental role of the Prosecutor's office in the investigation or prosecution of international crimes are investigated. The relevance of this work lies in the need to create a unified code regulating the ethical behavior of international prosecutors, as well as a strict selection of candidates appointed to the positions of international prosecutors. The rapidly changing situation in the world and in the system of international justice needs to update the previously existing requirements put forward to persons exercising international justice. The regulatory framework governing the activities of prosecutors is not so extensive. There are many areas of activity of persons exercising international justice where there are no normative standards of behavior, professionalism and independence. In the system of international justice, there is currently no specialized body regulating the activities and giving a legal assessment of the actions (inactions) of the Office of the Prosecutor.

Authors: TİMUR Burcu , LALELİ KOÇ Bergen , TİMUR Hakan
Published: April 2022

Aim: This study aimed to examine the clinical features of COVID-19 infection, maternal and fetal side effects related to infection and share experiences of our clinic in this context.

Material and MethodsA total of 63 pregnant women diagnosed with COVID-19 were identified in a tertiary hospital between September-May 2021. Disease-related symptoms, laboratory parameters, maternal and fetal side effects were examined.

Results: No statistically significant difference in age, BMI, and gestational week was detected between the groups receiving and not receiving antiviral therapy among 63 pregnant patients who were positive for COVID-19. Fever (41.2%) was the most common patients' complaint at admission.

Conclusion: The COVID-19 disease has caused a pandemic that has affected the world since December 2019. There are limited data on maternal and fetal effects in pregnancy. The increased susceptibility to respiratory tract diseases during pregnancy makes this patient group more vulnerable to the devastating effects of disease agents. In this respect, COVID-19 infection during pregnancy necessitates the closer follow-up and faster control of the disease. We obtained findings consistent with the literature in terms of symptoms, laboratory values, and obstetric prognoses of pregnant women with COVID-19 infection that we followed up in our clinic, a tertiary center.

Published: April 2022

Spatial proteomics holds great promise for revealing tissue heterogeneity in both physiological and pathological conditions. However, one significant limitation of most spatial proteomics workflows is the requirement of large sample amounts that blurs cell-type-specific or microstructure-specific information. In this study, we developed an improved sample preparation approach for spatial proteomics and integrated it with our previously-established laser capture microdissection (LCM) and microfluidics sample processing platform. Specifically, we developed a hanging drop (HD) method to improve the sample recovery by positioning a nanowell chip upside-down during protein extraction and tryptic digestion steps. Compared with the commonly-used sitting-drop method, the HD method keeps the tissue voxel away from the container surface, and thus improves the accessibility of the extraction/digestion buffer to tissue sample. The HD method can increase the MS signal by 7 fold, leading to a 66% increase in the number of identified proteins. An average of 721, 1489, and 2521 proteins can be quantitatively profiled from laser-dissected 10-µm-thick mouse liver tissue voxels with areas of 0.0025, 0.01, and 0.04 mm2, respectively. The improved system was further validated in the study of cell-type-specific proteomes of mouse uterine tissues.

Understanding the relationship between protein structure and experimental data is crucial for utilizing experiments to solve biochemical problems and optimizing the use of sparse experimental data for structural interpretation. Tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) can be used with a variety of methods to collect structural data for proteins. One example is surface-induced dissociation (SID), which is used to break apart protein complexes (via a surface collision) into intact subcomplexes and can be performed at multiple laboratory frame SID collision energies. These energy-resolved tandem MS/MS experiments have shown that the profile of the breakages depends on the acceleration energy of the collision. It is possible to extract an appearance energy (AE) from energy-resolved mass spectrometry (ERMS) data, which shows the relative intensity of each type of subcomplex as a function of SID acceleration energy. We previously determined that these AE values for specific interfaces correlated with structural features related to interface strength. In this study, we further examined the structural relationships by developing a method to predict the full ERMS plot from structure, rather than extracting a single value. First, we noted that for proteins with multiple interface types, we could reproduce the correct shapes of breakdown curves, further confirming previous structural hypotheses. Next, we demonstrated that interface size and energy density (measured using Rosetta) correlated with data derived from the ERMS plot (R^2 = 0.71). Furthermore, based on this trend, we used native crystal structures to predict ERMS. The majority of predictions resulted in good agreement, and the average root-mean-square error (RMSE) was 0.20 for the 20 complexes in our dataset. We also show that if additional information on cleavage as a function of collision energy could be obtained, the accuracy of predictions improved further. Finally, we demonstrated that ERMS prediction results were better for the native than for inaccurate models in 17/20 cases. An application to run this simulation has been developed in Rosetta, which is freely available for use.

Porous polymeric microspheres are an emerging class of materials, offering stimuli-responsive cargo uptake and release. Herein, we describe a new approach to fabricate porous anisotropic microspheres based on temperature-induced droplet formation and light-induced polymerisation. Anisotropic liquid crystal (LC) microparticles were prepared by exploiting the partial miscibility of a thermotropic LC mixture composed of 4-cyano-4’- pentylbiphenyl (5CB, unreactive mesogens) with 2-methyl- 1,4-phenylene bis4-[3-(acryloyloxy)propoxy] benzoate (RM257, reactive mesogens) in methanol (MeOH). Isotropic 5CB/RM257-rich droplets were generated by cooling below the binodal curve (20°C), and the isotropic-to-nematic transition occurred after cooling below 0°C. The resulting 5CB/RM257-rich droplets with radial configuration were subsequently polymerised under UV light, resulting in nematic microparticles. Upon heating the mixture, the 5CB mesogens underwent a nematic-isotropic transition and eventually became homogeneous with MeOH, while the polymerised RM257 preserved its radial configuration. Repeated cycles of cooling and heating resulted in swelling and shrinking of the porous microparticles. The use of a reversible materials templating approach to obtain porous microparticles provides new insights into binary liquid manipulation and potential for microparticle production.
Stochastic ice nucleation governs the freezing process of biopharmaceuticals in vials
Authors: Deck Leif-Thore , Ochsenbein David Richard , Mazzotti Marco
Published: April 2022

Biopharmaceuticals commonly require freezing to ensure the stability of the active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). At commercial scale, freezing is typically carried out over the course of days in pallets comprising tens of thousands of vials. The selected process conditions have to ensure both complete freezing in all vials and a satisfactory manufacturing throughput. Current process design, however, is mainly experimental, since no mechanistic understanding of pallet freezing and its underlying phenomena has been achieved so far. Within this work, we derive a mechanistic modeling framework and compare the model predictions with engineering run data from the Janssen COVID-19 vaccine. The model qualitatively reproduced all observed trends and reveals that stochastic ice nucleation governs both process duration and batch heterogeneity. Knowledge on the ice nucleation kinetics of the formulation to be frozen thus is required to identify suitable freezing process conditions. The findings of this work pave the path towards a more rational design of pallet freezing, from which a plethora of frozen drug products may benefit. For this reason, we provide open source access to the model in the form of a python package (available under https://pypi.org/project/ethz-snow/ ).
Exchange Coupling Determines Metal-Dependent Efficiency for Iron- and Cobalt-Catalyzed Photochemical CO2 Reduction

Published: April 2022

Catalyst platforms that promote multielectron charge delocalization offer an attractive approach to achieving the CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) with selectivity over the competing hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Here, we show the importance of metal-ligand exchange coupling as an example of charge delocalization that can determine efficiency for photocatalytic CO2RR. A comparative evaluation of iron and cobalt complexes supported by the redox-active ligand tpyPY2Me establishes that the two-electron reduction of [Co(tpyPY2Me)]2+ ([Co]2+) occurs at potentials 770 mV more negative than the [Fe(tpyPY2Me)]2+ ([Fe]2+) analog by maximizing exchange coupling in the latter compound. The positive shift in reduction potential promoted by metal-ligand exchange coupling drives [Fe]2+ to be among the most active and selective molecular catalysts for photochemical CO2RR reported to date, maintaining up to 99% CO product selectivity with total turnover numbers (TON) and initial turnover frequencies (TOF) exceeding 30,000 and 900 min–1, respectively. In contrast, [Co]2+ shows much lower CO2RR activity, reaching only ca. 600 TON at 83% CO product selectivity under similar conditions accompanied by rapid catalyst decomposition. Spin density plots of the two-electron reduced [Co]0 complex implicate a paramagnetic open-shell doublet ground state compared to the diamagnetic open-shell singlet ground state of reduced [Fe]0, rationalizing the observed negative shift in two-electron reduction potentials from the [M]2+ species and lowered CO2RR efficiency for the cobalt complex relative to its iron congener. This work emphasizes the contributions of multielectron metal-ligand exchange coupling in promoting effective CO2RR and provides a starting point for the broader incorporation of this strategy in catalyst design.

A single-crystal diamond substrate (SCDS) with a (100) surface orientation was submerged in liquid gallium containing a small amount of dissolved silicon, and exposed to a mixture of methane and hydrogen at 1 atm and 900 ºC. New growth diamonds were found that are single crystal square pyramids with (111) facets and that are homoepitaxial to the substrate, as proven by scanning and transmission electron microscopy, and small angle X-ray scattering and diffraction. Raman spectroscopy with 13C-labeling prove that the methane as well as the SCDS are the carbon source for the newly grown diamond. This approach opens up new ways for growing diamond in liquid metal systems.

Published: April 2022

Introduction: Childhood obesity is a principal concern worldwide. Guatemalan households have the highest prevalence of double burden of malnutrition in the world. These households are self-identified as indigenous and live with lower incomes in rural communities. However, there are limited data on risk factors for childhood obesity and limited information regarding the school environments, especially in rural communities. The objectives of this study were to determine the prevalence of overweight and obesity in a sample of rural schoolchildren, evaluate whether there is significant variability across schools, and characterize the food environment around public elementary schools in rural communities.

 Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in four rural public schools within three villages of El Progreso, a Department (state) of Guatemala, located about 60 km east of Guatemala City. Anthropometric measures and sociodemographic information for 398 schoolchildren and their mothers were collected in 2018. Environmental audits of food outlets and food advertisements were completed for a 250- and 500-meter radius around schools. Food outlets and food advertisements were categorized as healthy and less healthy, or acceptable or not acceptable, respectively, using international protocols. One-way ANOVA was used to compare schools and continuous demographic variables. Fisher’s LSD post hoc test was used to examine differences between schools. Chi-Squared tests were conducted to evaluate differences between categorical demographic variables, overweight and obesity, and variables regarding food environments. A logistic regression was used to examine factors associated with overweight and obesity and variability across schools, adjusted for household income, child sex and age, and maternal education and age.

 Results: The overall percentage of overweight and obesity among schoolchildren across all four schools was 32.4%. There was a higher percentage of less healthful food outlets compared to healthful food outlets and overall food outlets within <250 meters around the four schools, as compared to food outlets within 500 meters. Logistic regression showed that overweight and obesity status varied significantly (p=0.042) depending of the school students attended, when adjusting for household income, child sex and age, maternal education, and age.

 Conclusion: Study results revealed a high prevalence of overweight and obesity among schoolchildren in rural communities in Guatemala. There was significant variability in overweight and obesity across schools. Results portray the food environment around schools as a possible contributing factor to childhood obesity.

Authors: Musa Andi Ernie Zaenab
Published: April 2022

This study was based on good governance theory, which considers the importance of citizens' trust in government in multiple contexts, including the public health crisis, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. Various studies have been conducted to determine the factors that influence people's behavior in times of contagion. This study looked at how citizens' risk perceptions of being infected and trust in government influenced their behavior. Additionally, gender role was assessed to see if it shaped behavioral changes. Data was collected from 505 respondents by a river sampling technique and analyzed using SmartPLS 3.0 software. The study found that the onset of coronavirus had a significant impact on citizens' risk perceptions of being infected, change of behaviors, and trust in government. Moreover, it was revealed that females were more conscious of the infection risks associated with the pandemic and, as such, behaved responsibly than their male counterparts. This study adds to the existing body of literature that government decisions in the best interests of citizens can help foster trust among citizens throughout a crisis.

Published: April 2022

Consumer reports of self-perceived sensitive skin vary from country to country, with China being the most common. It is a booming market, and it is both an opportunity and challenge for companies who manufacture cosmetics and personal care products to develop sensitive skin-specific products. A study on the cognition of sensitive skin and the evaluation criteria of self-perceived sensitive skin among consumers via comparison by region (China and Singapore), as well as the categories and functions of cosmetics for sensitive skin is conducted. The results are as follows: (1) the skin concerns of consumers with sensitive skin vary by region (China and Singapore), city (Shanghai, Beijing, Wuhan, and Guangzhou), skin type (dry skin and oily skin), and age group (20s and 30s) in China; (2) the participants from Singapore reported more new skin concerns (acne or pimple breakout, clogged pores, and acne scars or acne spots) compared to those from China and believe that the frequency increased following COVID-19; (3) more Singaporean participants perceived “Inappropriate use of skin care products” and “Used products containing harmful ingredient” to be the primary cause of skin sensitivity, whereas those from China felt that “Incomplete makeup removal” is the primary cause; (4) facing skin sensitivity, the participants from both the countries tend to use products specifically designed for sensitive skin and reduce the frequency of using makeup or avoid makeup altogether; the participants from China would also modify their lifestyle habits, while those from Singapore tend to simplify or shorten their skincare routine; (5) compared to other cities, the participants from Wuhan tend to use products specifically design for sensitive skin or derma cosmetics at a lower rate (only when there are signs of skin sensitivity); (6) serum is the most used category among Singaporean participants, while those from China favor the use of face cream over face serum; the number of participants from China who use makeup remover among those in their 20s is higher than those in their 30s; lotion or emulsion is preferred in Shanghai, while face cream is preferred in Beijing; (7) Singaporean participants tend to use two separate products, one of which is related to soothing or calming benefit and the other for functional benefit, while those from China tend to choose functional products from brands that are suitable for sensitive skin or derma cosmetic brands. In conclusion, makeup products for sensitive skin, mild makeup removal, and functional products from derma cosmetic brands are potential products in China, while multi-purpose products and serum have shown high potential under the sensitive skincare category in Singapore.

Published: April 2022

O turismo representa uma das atividades econômicas que mais vem contribuindo para o desenvolvimento econômico em várias partes do mundo. Dessa forma, várias localidades vêm procurando no turismo uma alternativa para o desenvolvimento socioeconômico em suas respectivas realidades. No Rio Grande do Norte não foi diferente, foram criadas regionalizações com municí­pios que compartilhavam de elementos naturais e imateriais semelhantes e assim promover o turismo como alternativa de desenvolvimento. O Polo Costa das Dunas (PCD) é reflexo desse planejamento. Situado no litoral leste do estado, essa regionalização vem contribuí­do para criar um nicho de turismo de sol e praia. Nesse sentido, esse trabalho busca investigar até que ponto o turismo contribuiu para o desenvolvimento econômicos de quatro municí­pios situados no PCD. Em um primeiro momento, para orientar a elaboração desse estudo, realizou-se um levantamento de literaturas que tratam sobre o tema em questão, em seguida consultou-se banco de dados oficiais como Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatí­stica (IBGE), Ministério do Turismo (MTur), Ministério do Trabalho e Emprego (MTE) e em programas de desenvolvimento socioeconômicos, como o Plano de Desenvolvimento Integrado do Turismo Sustentável (PDTIS) e Programa Regional de Desenvolvimento do Turismo no Nordeste (PRODETUR/NE) durante as duas fases, com intuito de levantar informações a respeito do Produto Interno Bruto (PIB), empreendimentos turí­sticos, demanda turí­stica doméstica e internacional, ví­nculos turí­sticos empregos formais e repasses de verbas realizados pelos programas de desenvolvimento do turismo, por fim, foram analisados os dados em conjunto com a literatura para a produção de resultados. Dessa forma, foi possí­vel perceber que o turismo enquanto vetor de desenvolvimento econômico não se reproduziu de forma homogênea entre os quatros municí­pios. Esse trabalho evidenciou que a presença de elementos naturais e imateriais e poucas polí­ticas públicas demonstraram ser insuficientes para um desenvolvimento uniforme

Este trabalho objetivou identificar e caracterizar as classes de uso do solo e cobertura vegetal do Municí­pio de Portalegre por meio do uso do geoprocessamento e geração de mapas temáticos. Estudos desta natureza estão associados a necessidade de especializar e monitorar as ações do homem sobre os espaços geográficos, sobretudo, aqueles que ainda conservam suas caracterí­sticas bióticas e abióticas. Assim, situado na região Serrana do Estado do Rio Grande do Norte, Brasil, Portalegre apresenta caracterí­sticas ambientais que o distingue de outros municí­pios do semiárido nordestino e merece especial atenção. Observa-se na paisagem local a presença de nascentes perenes, cachoeiras, micro barramentos naturais de águas pluviais, áreas com vegetação úmida e Caatinga de médio a grande porte e apresenta um clima do tipo Aw"™ tropical quente com áreas úmidas. Na metodologia implementada buscou-se a construção de um banco de dados com base em levantamento bibliográfico, imagem do satélite RapidEye e cartografia digital, todos agregados a um Sistema de Informações Geográficas (SIG) e tratados e processados no ArcGis 10.1 e QGis Versão 2.18.13 Las Palmas. Nos resultados obtidos, foi possí­vel identificar e classificar sete classes relacionados ao uso do solo e cinco classes de cobertura vegetal. Os dados apontam também que da área total do municí­pio, 63,56% ainda apresenta estado de conservação. Nas áreas classificadas como uso antrópico, ocorre principalmente o desenvolvimento de atividades agropecuárias que são as principais responsáveis pela degradação da vegetação nativa.
Sie werden nur entsorgt!: gender options of aging in Sibille Berg``` s play "Ladies are waiting"
Authors: Kadubovska Svitlana
Published: April 2022

This work continues the initiative launched in the study "Anti-Utopia Konstanz Dennig" Extasy Rave ": Representations of old age." In the light of literary gerontology, the article analyzes the manifestations of stereotyping of characters of pre-retirement age, aging processes, manifestations of ageism and misogyny with political coloration and problematic and semantic aspects of corporality and tolerance in Sibylle Berg's play "Ladies Are Waiting" (2012). The sarcastic dialogues present in the play demonstrate the stereotypical thought patterns inherent in modern society regarding the social roles of older women. They portray aging as a physical and moral decline and a burden on society. Discriminatory practices against women over the age of 50 are not only verbal but also physical (forced relocation to the dungeons), which echoes K. Dennig's drama. Age discourse is manifested through the coverage of aspects of corporeality with a misogynistic and sexist coloration. In the images of the female geronto group, Sibille Berg exposes the stigma of late maturity in negative stereotypes associated with female attractiveness, aging, gender. Attention is also paid to the current trends of German-language theater, which plays an important role in covering social issues such as ageism, stereotyping, misogyny. The analysis of theatrical productions and challenges, realized by the author herself, allows to attribute her work to the post-dramatic theater, which, according to Lehmann, is aimed at maintaining the internal unity of society. Conclusions are made about the possibilities of the author's restructuring of discriminatory stereotypes of aging and prejudice against women. In the final act of the work, Sibylle Berg reveals the unexpectedly negative consequences that ageism and self-stereotyping can lead to in the aging process, which threaten to maintain the moral and ethical qualities of modern German society, which focuses on tolerance in its political and cultural directions.
Intermedial strategies in biographical novels about artists
(based on biographical works about Vincent van Gogh written by V. Domontovych and about Chaim Soutine by Ralph Dutli)
Authors: Levytska Oksana
Published: April 2022

The article is devoted to the study of peculiarities of intermedial relationships in biographical works about artists. Based on V. Domontovych’s fictionalized biography «A Lonesome Traveller Walking along a Lonesome Road» and Ralph Dutli’s novel «Soutine’s Last Journey» («Soutines letzte Fahrt»), it analyses the inter-artistic interaction of literature and painting, traces how the translation is done from the language of visual art into the language of literary work, and how the artist’s creative heritage and especially the peculiarities of his artistic technique influence the poetics of the biographical novel. Applying the methodology of intermedial analysis, it explores the ways in which art manifests itself on compositional, poetical, linguistic and stylistic levels in the novels about artists.

The interaction of the verbal and fine arts is analysed at the level of thematization, construction of the artist’s image and description of the creative process. The intermediality of biographical novels about Vincent van Gogh and Chaim Soutine is considered through the transfer of features of a work of fine art into verbal art, through the employment of the main means of image creation in painting, such as colour, line, composition, etc. Based on the artistic practices of avant-garde art, the artists under analysis worked within, particular attention is paid to the identification of the poetical principles of artistic trends in the style of a literary work, that is, naturalistic and impressionist elements in Van Gogh’s biography and expressionist and surrealist elements in the novel about Soutine. In addition, the role of a pictorial quotation in the biographical fiction about the artist is worked out. A significant attention in biographical novels about artists is given to artistic detail and ekphrasis.

Novels about artists provide rich material for the research of the dialogue between literature and fine arts not only for literary scholars but also for art critics.
Models of narative representation of trauma
Authors: Marcovic Milan
Published: April 2022

This article explores models of narrative representation of trauma explored within the methodological framework of trauma theory. In this sense, the article offers a diachronic overview of the development of this theoretical discipline and examines its contribution to the interpretation and analysis of literary works. The development of the theory of trauma offered authors new interpretive models based on the relationship between trauma and fiction, but also a relatively new vision of the theory of trauma, which opened the possibility to expose the cultural and social processes and tendencies of the whole history of the twentieth century and their impact on individuals and society. A step towards a new model of persuasiveness in the literature of so-called private genres would present a kind of narrative of trauma that, among other things, would signify personal, that is, individual reactions to the growing awareness of the catastrophic effects of war, poverty, colonisation and domestic violence on the person's psyche. Such accounts would need to point not only to the sources of individual suffering and problems that caused the trauma, but also to the harmful and devastating consequences of the traumatic event and the further life development of individuals and people in their near surroundings. Initial trauma research was traditionally placed in the relevant field of medicine, and trauma was approached primarily as an individual and purely intimate clinical state. As trauma was discovered and researched through psychoanalytic therapeutic methods, in particular the dialogue-analytic processes of inference through direct conversation, i.e. the transfer of one's own psychic reality, the first and key connection between the trauma phenomenon and language as the primary means of information transfer was established. Therefore, in the early stages of the development of trauma theory, trauma was seen as a separate phenomenon (more often related to childhood experiences), and its consequences were thought to be solved by simply transmitting the entire traumatic experience through language communication. The development of trauma theory has offered authors new interpretive models based on the relationship between trauma and fiction, but also a relatively new vision of trauma theory, has opened up possibilities for exposing cultural and social processes and trends throughout twentieth-century history and their consequences on individuals and society. In the modernist literature, the phenomenon of trauma is approached somewhat differently, mainly through textual representations of the subjects' inner struggles to cope with the subconscious defence mechanisms they have created to protect themselves from re-experiencing traumatic content through memory and rationally conscious instinct and desire to recover and heal through an articulated confession about trauma, i.e. a psychoanalytic conversation about it.
BNCC para a educação infantil e a urgência de resistências
Authors: Santos Solange Estanislau dos , Macedo Elina Elias de
Published: April 2022

Este ensaio teórico tem como objetivo problematizar a ideia de uma Base Nacional Comum Curricular (BNCC) para a educação infantil e a paradoxal proposta universal e homogeneizadora que visa a “construção de uma sociedade justa, democrática e inclusiva”. Ao longo do texto problematizamos as palavras/conceitos que compõem esse documento, dissecando criticamente o que pretensamente denominam de BASE – NACIONAL - COMUM – CURRICULAR. Apontamos para as armadilhas de um currículo universal e a relevância de análises interseccionais que considerem os marcadores de diferenças como etnia, idade, gênero e classe social. Em seguida, abordamos alguns aspectos das políticas públicas neoliberais que defendem iniciativas privatistas e competitivas e colocam a educação como mercadoria e alvo de empresários. Finalizamos indicando elementos de uma Pedagogia emancipatória desde o nascimento que promova resistências e lutas pela equidade e transformação social.
referencial curricular para as crianças dos 3 aos 6 anos
Authors: Cardona Maria Joao
Published: April 2022

As atuais Orientações Curriculares para a Educação pré-escolar (crianças dos 3 aos 6 anos) foram definidas pelo Ministério da Educação em 2016, depois de um processo muito participado que envolveu profissionais de educação de infância de todo o país, assim como docentes de instituições de ensino superior que formam educadores e desenvolvem pesquisas na área da educação e formação para as primeiras idades. Neste artigo, partindo de uma reflexão do percurso anterior a 2016, que antecedeu a definição destas orientações, serão analisados testemunhos de algumas profissionais, formadoras e pesquisadoras, ligadas à educação de infância, duas delas autoras do documento. Pretende-se compreender a influência destas Orientações, analisando as inovações que implicaram relativamente ao anterior referencial curricular. Será feita uma análise mais detalhada do que está previsto para a área de conteúdo da “Formação pessoal e social” e como estas orientações se articulam com o referencial nacional que foi definido para todo o sistema educativo a nível da “Educação para a cidadania”.
pesquisa como princípio pedagógico no ensino de química
Authors: Dunker Eduardo Bello , Bedin Everton
Published: April 2022

Neste artigo relata-se, a partir das concepções de alunos da Educação Básica, as potencialidades da utilização da metodologia Dicumba – Desenvolvimento Cognitivo Universal-Bilateral da Aprendizagem – no ensino de química, enfatizando a necessidade de desenvolver e de fomentar a criticidade e a autonomia discente a partir do conhecimento científico. Para tanto, nesta pesquisa de cunho qualitativo de viés investigativo, os dados foram coletados por meio de um formulário online, desenvolvido na plataforma Google Forms e disponibilizado a 26 alunos do 3º ano do Ensino Médio de uma escola pública do Estado do Rio Grande do Sul/Brasil. O formulário online que apresentava 4 sentenças na escala de Likert de seis graus foi enviado aos alunos por meio de um Link via grupo no WhatsApp. Os dados analisados qualitativamente foram interpretados à luz das concepções teóricas de estudiosos da área, bem como de forma estatística por meio de gráficos e de quadros. Ao término da pesquisa, constatou-se que a metodologia Dicumba é significativa por estimular a aprendizagem centrada no aluno como pessoa, propiciando-o o amadurecimento da autonomia intelectual, o aperfeiçoamento da consciência crítica e a mobilização de pensamentos cognitivos em relação ao macro e ao microconhecimento.
Territorio, cambios en la alimentación y la emergencia de problemas socioambientales en la comunidad indígena de Zinacantán, Chiapas
Authors: Llanos Hernández Luis , Santacruz de León Eugenio Eliseo
Published: April 2022

El territorio indígena en Zinacantán, Chiapas, se vio transformado a partir de la década de los años ochenta por la introducción del cultivo de flores en invernadero. Esta tecnología desplazó al ancestral cultivo del maíz en las parcelas y demandó una mayor atención de las familias. La producción de flores aumentó el ingreso económico, lo que implicó también cambios en la alimentación de la población. Otro problema que surgió por la producción intensiva de flores fue la escasez de agua para consumo humano y daños a la salud por el uso de agroquímicos. El objetivo de la investigación fue analizar este proceso en el que se entrelazan los cambios en la agricultura y la alimentación con problemas ambientales. El método cualitativo apoyado en descripciones etnográficas fue la base metodológica. Se realizaron treinta encuestas a padres de familia más ocho entrevistas semiestructuradas, y se utilizaron otros recursos como cartografía social e imágenes satelitales.
