Purpose. The paper is aimed at studying the hydrological regime of the Novik Bay (Russky Island, Peter the Great Bay, Sea of Japan). Methods and Results. Regular ship and ice cover CTD observations (more 1000 water column profiling stations) carried out in the Novik and Amur bays in 2013–2018 were used. Weather conditions in the region under study were analyzed based on the data of the Vladivostok weather station archive (WMO_ID=31960). Quantitative estimates of the drift and gradient currents in the bay are represented. Conclusions. Seasonal changes in the thermohaline stratification of the Peter the Great Bay coastal waters are conditioned by the monsoon climate features. The Novik Bay hydrological regime is additionally affected by its isolation and shallowness, as well as by the Russky Island relief. Weak water dynamics in the bay is observed during the summer monsoon (April – August) that is a result of the south winds blocking by the hills. The autumn-winter monsoon (when the north winds dominate) induces the water surge to the bay that, in its turn, blocks its circulation. The winter Siberian cold anticyclone forms the ice cover in the bay, and just in such an ice-forming season the salinity increase in the bottom layer is observed. In the shallow southern part of the Novik Bay, the process of ice formation begins. The downwelling flow of salty heavy water directed to the north out of the bay along the bottom relief is compensated by the counter flow of fresh waters from the Amur Bay which inflow to the upper sub-ice layer. The freeze-up period is most favorable for water renewal. The efficiency of this process is additionally influenced by a heat flow from bottom sediments and by the ice conditions in the adjacent water areas of the Peter the Great Bay

Purpose. The purpose of the study is to reproduce the evolution of clouds and precipitation and to evaluate the summer and winter precipitation features in the Black Sea region and Crimea using the WRF-ARW model. Methods and Results. The results of numerical simulations of the summer and winter atmospheric precipitation in Crimea, and the corresponding comparative characteristics are presented. Based on the example of the convection case in July 2018, shown are the convective activity diurnal dynamics and its spatial features induced by the breeze circulation over Crimea. Moisture balance analysis was performed, and quantitative estimates of the summer precipitation formation mechanism are given. The case study of precipitation caused by the cyclone and the associated cold front passage, in December 2018 highlights the feature of the winter precipitation formation mechanism that is driven by moisture advection. The formation of intense winter and summer precipitation in the Crimean Mountains was also considered. Conclusions. The characteristic feature of summer precipitation is its diurnal periodicity and internal moisture cycle. The impact of breezes leads to the localization of convective clouds and precipitation in the central regions of the peninsula. The winter precipitation-forming cloudiness in Crimea consists predominantly of stratiform clouds; the precipitation patterns are conditioned by the large-scale circulation: the external moisture cycle is of a decisive character in winter. The high-altitude mountain areas are the zones of maximum precipitation in both seasons; they play an important role in the total moisture balance in Crimea.

Purpose. The paper is aimed at investigating the propagation of solitons in a shallow basin, assessing the nonlinear effects resulting from the wave run-up on a gentle coast, and at comparing the estimates obtained using different numerical models with the available analytical dependencies. Methods and Results. The results of numerical simulations carried out using two nonlinear models of long waves (the author's model and the Simulating WAves till SHore (SWASH) one) are represented in the paper. The solitary wave profiles were obtained during its propagation in the part of a basin with constant depth conjugated with the inclined bottom. The process of a wave run-up on the coast was simulated using the algorithm of fluid movement along a dry coast. It is shown that when a soliton propagates in the basin part with constant depth, the nonlinearity effects are manifested in deformation of a wave profile. In other words, increase of the wave initial amplitude and the distance traveled by a wave is accompanied by growth of the wave front slope steepness. This, in its turn, leads to increase of a splash when the waves run-up on the coast. The estimates of the run-up heights resulted from different numerical models are in good agreement. Conclusions. The calculated values of the maximum wave run-up on the coast for the non-deformed waves, the length of which is equal to that of the traversed path, are close to the estimates obtained analytically. For the waves with the deformed profile, the front slope steepness of which increases with propagation over long distances, the run-up heights increase with growth of the wave initial amplitude. In such a case, it is desirable to replace the analytical estimates with the numerical ones. The run-up height of the deformed waves can exceed the wave initial amplitude by four or more times. The results obtained in this study can be useful in projecting the coastal protection constructions with the regard for preserving the coastal ecology and economy.
The meaning of the infinitely great
Authors: Li Qing
Published: December 2021

An infinitely small quantity is defined as a one-dimensional quantity
of finite length but with sizes of space, while an infinitely
great quantity is reached by the superposition or accumulation of
infinitely many finite quantities, by the way of the change
in direction. The change in direction indicates that there is a jump
from a finite quantity to infinitely many finite quantities (infinitely
great). The form of the manifestation of the infinitely great is one
quantitative continuum that cannot be operated by any algorithms and all
parts of space we see is this one quantitative continuum. .Any value are
this single quantitative continuum that indicates the infinitely great
and compresses any quantities outside of it to nothing. As a result, the
infinite exact value of a circumferential length (π) has been
obtained here.

Published: December 2021

An advanced comprehensive and transient multiphase model for a trickle
bed reactor with solid foam packings was developed. A new simulation
model for isothermal three-phase (gas–liquid–solid) catalytic tubular
reactor models was presented where axial, radial and catalyst layer
effects were included. The gas, liquid and solid phase mass balances
included most of the individual terms for solid foam packing (e.g.
kinetics, liquid-solid and intraparticle mass transfer effects).
Hydrogenation of arabinose and galactose mixture on a ruthenium catalyst
supported by carbon-coated aluminum foams was applied as a fundamentally
and industrially relevant case study. Parameter estimations allowed to
obtain reliable and significant parameters. To test the model
performance, a sensitivity analysis was performed and the effect of the
kinetic parameters and the operation conditions on the arabinose and
galactose conversions was studied in detail. The model described here is
applicable for other three-phase continuous catalytic reactors with
solid foam packings.

Authors: Watson Daniella , Jacob Chandni , Giles Gareth , McAuliffe Fionnuala , Godfrey Keith , Hanson Mark
Published: December 2021

Background The interconception period is considered a time when parents
are likely to engage with health messages and are in frequent contact
with healthcare professionals. Objectives Through this literature review
and policy analysis, we synthesised articles and guidelines on
interconception care to provide recommendations to improve health
outcomes for parents, infants and future generations. Search Strategy
Four databases were searched systematically, using MeSH and free-text
terms based on ‘interconception’ and ‘postpartum’. Selection Criteria
Selected articles included reviews, pilot studies and guidelines on
interconception and postpartum interventions published in English by UK
public health organisations and government agencies between 1st January
2010-12th January 2021. Data Collection and Analysis 30% of titles,
abstracts and full-text papers were double-screened. The description
table of identified guidelines were qualitatively analysed to generate
categories, later developed into a framework of six domains. Findings
are described using a narrative synthesis approach. Main Results We
found 47 documents with guidelines, 29 reviews and six pilot studies on
interconception and postpartum care. Interconception care opportunities
include the postpartum period, family planning, routine practice, and
risk assessments. Health and non-healthcare professionals have a role to
play in the interconception period including GPs, health visitors,
dieticians, nutritionists, health psychologists, community groups, local
authorities and charities such as Tommy’s and First Step Nutrition.
Conclusions The interconception and postpartum periods offer crucial
opportunities to intervene to reduce possible long-term effects of
suboptimal nutrition. Though the policy analysis for this review focused
on the UK, the recommendations can have wider implications for other
countries.

Authors: Farahzadi Athena , Mahmoodzadeh , Habibolah
Published: December 2021

Candida osteomyelitis is a rare disorder. Its incidence has drastically
risen during the last 3 decades. Diagnosis is delayed due to nonspecific
symptoms. Thus its management is not done early which leads to increased
morbidity. Here we report an immunocompetent case of candida
osteomyelitis that presented with prolonged FUO.

following incompressible neo-Hookean material model to define the
instantaneous constitutive behavior of the shells, = tr − 3, (S1) where
W is the strain energy density function, µ is the shear modulus, F is
the deformation gradient tensor. To describe the viscoelastic behavior
of the shells, Prony series were used and the shear modulus µ can be
expressed as = 1 − ∑ 1 − ⁄ , (S2) where µ0 is the instantaneous shear
modulus, n is the number of the series terms, is the dimensionless
relaxation modulus, t is the time, and τi is the relaxation time

Published: December 2021

A new type of composite tridimensional rotational flow sieve tray is
proposed. The flow pattern and operation domain of the tray were defined
and divided by the image shooting method, combined with the standard
deviation of the pressure difference sequence. There are membrane–drip
column and foam–embolic flow in the TRST area of the internal
packing–type tray, while bubbly and milk froth-ribbon flow are present
in the packing area of the external packing-type tray. This study
focused on the influence of the tray structure parameters on the
pressure drop. Under the experimental operating conditions, the dry
pressure drop was within 160 Pa, while the wet pressure drop was within
900 Pa. Under the same structural parameters, the internal packing–type
pressure drop of the tray was higher than that of the external
packing-type tray. A mathematical model of the pressure drop between dry
and wet trays was established.
Modeling VLE and LLE of Deep Eutectic Solvents (DES) and Ionic Liquids (IL) Using PC-SAFT Equation of State. Part II
Authors: Aminian Ali
Published: December 2021

This study aims to use Perturbed-Chain Statistical Associating Fluid
Theory (PC-SAFT) to describe the phase behavior of systems containing
DESs and ILs. The DESs are based on Tetrabutylammonium chloride
([N4444]Cl) and Tetrabutylammonium bromide (TBAB) as hydrogen bond
acceptors, and levulinic acid (LevA) and Diethylene Glycol (DEG) as
hydrogen bond donors in the mole ratio of 1:2 and 1:4, respectively. The
predicted phase equilibrium data from PC-SAFT has been compared to those
from COSMO-RS and NRTL predictions. ILs studied in this work are low
viscosity ether-functionalized pyridinium-based ILs [EnPy][NTf2]
and [CmPy][NTf2], while
1-(2-methoxyethyl)-1-methylpyrrolidiniumbis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)-amide)
([COC2mPYR][NTf2]) and 1-propyl-3-methylimidazolium
bis{trifluoromethylsulfonyl}imide ([Pmim][NTf2]) were used for
the study of the LLE systems with n-heptane + thiophene and n-hexane +
ethylbenzene, respectively. In the last part, mixtures of linear alkanes
and perfluoroalkanes have been studied to predict the phase behavior of
perfluoroalkylalkanes with their linear alkane counterparts and
comparisons have been made against SAFT-Mie pair potential.

Radio in the Promotion of Croatian Tourism
Authors: Mučalo Marina , Šulentić Anita
Published: December 2021

Radio is a traditionally popular medium that still has its continuous and stable listenership. The digital age has endowed it with new technical and technological possibilities and multimedia, including a big breakthrough of digital audio broadcasting (DAB+). The Republic of Croatia is one of the leading European road trip destinations. Most of the tourists reach Croatia by car, which allows them to use their own vehicles for excursions during their holidays. Almost half of the population of the European Union is still in the habit of listening to the radio while driving. Therefore, radio stations, particularly those based in Adriatic Croatia, should not be left out from the endeavours to achieve the best possible results in the sector of tourism. The paper presents the findings of a qualitative survey that was conducted during January and February 2021 at radio stations whose headquarters are in this area (N=49). The aim of the research was to determine the current engagement of radio in the production of content intended for domestic and foreign tourists, the modalities and dynamics of cooperation with tourism entities in the field of broadcasting and the potential use of radio in the post-Covid tourist season. Twenty-eight radio editors (56%) responded to the survey. All of them consider radio to be a good medium for tourist promotion, yet the findings indicate a lack of offer of news and promotional tourist content. The most common reasons are unfavourable financial and personnel circumstances. With the synergy between tourist entities and radio stations, radio could prove to be a reliable business partner.
Global Energy Poverty: Nigeria as a Case Study
Authors: Aladejuyigbe Oluwafemi , Awolusi Olawumi Dele
Published: December 2021

The deplorable condition of energy supply and distribution, generally called vitality neediness has been distinguished as one noteworthy failure militating against the satisfaction of Nigeria's objective of achieving financial improvement. The objectives of this study are to identify the challenges that limit the development and accentuate the stagnancy and near decline in Nigeria's energy sector. AmartyaSen's Capability approach was the theory that provided the framework for the study. The comfort examining the system, purposive inspecting procedure and the arbitrary determination method were utilized. The purposive examining strategy was utilized to choose five (5) respondents from the best administration staff of the power segment for the inside and out meetings, while the random sampling technique was utilized in selecting discussants for the Focus Group Discussions. Findings revealed that that the pervading challenges that impede the development of the electricity sector in the country are the insufficient financial capacity to purchase huge power generating sets or maintain the existing ones, the commercial unavailability of the electricity sector that renders it unattractive to prospective investors, consumers' unwillingness to pay for electricity units at cost-reflective prices. In conclusion, the findings of research indicate that energy poverty possesses an adverse effect on both individual and economic well-being of the nation. The study recommends that more funding, both from private individuals and government is required to enhance electricity generation, transmission and distribution in the country. It also recommends a revitalization of the country's electricity sector, to make it more commercially viable and attractive to an investor.
Reception of the Karl Kraus’ work among Serbian intellectuals
Authors: Bakic Jovo
Published: December 2021

The paper explores relations of both Serbian nationalist and antinationalist
intellectuals towards Karl Kraus? work. Analysis of the ?Last days of
mankind? shows that Kraus wrote satires against ruling circles of the
Habsburg Monarchy, demanded its reorganization, and even its destruction. He
mostly ridiculed the top circles of the Habsburg Monarchy and German Reich,
and unmasked their war plans against Serbia. He ridiculed warmongering
Wiennese press, intellectuals, who betrayed their vocation by supporting
German nationalism and Habsburg imperialism. Whereas some of the most
distinctive Croatian Yugoslav-oriented intellectuals in the aftermath of WWI
highly respected Karl Kraus, Serbian intellectuals have almost utterly
neglected this talented nonconformist, who sympathised with Serbian and
Yugoslav tendences despite their unpopularity in his own surroundings.
Furthermore, interest for Kraus is much more visible in today?s Croatia than
in Serbia. The paper?s goal is to offer an explanation of lack of interest
for Kraus among Serbian intellectuals. In the twilight of socialism,
majority of them showed nationalist parochialism, and a part of them
expressed even unbridled warlike attitude, which contributed to thorough
neglect of Kraus? voluminous, intellectually demanded and uncompromising
pacifistic work. At the same time, anti-nationalist and pacifistic
intellectuals were prepared to pay attention only for such aspects of the
Kraus work, while they have neglected other aspects such as his criticism of
pan-German imperialist tendences recognizable throughout the short 20th
century.
Aristocracy or Meritocracy? The Role of Elite Pedigree and Research Performance in New Accounting Faculty Placements
Authors: Bundy Sid Carin , Mohapatra Partha S , Sooy Matthew , Stone Dan N.
Published: December 2021

This paper investigates the joint and complex influences of elitism and merit in the hiring of new accounting faculty. Building on research showing that search committees value pedigree in hiring new faculty, we theorize both aristocratic (e.g., accessing or reinforcing elite networks) and meritocratic (e.g., signaling stronger future research potential) influences on the hiring of new accounting faculty. Using curriculum vitae from 381 Accounting Ph.D. Rookie Recruiting and Research Camps, we examine whether candidates graduating from elite accounting institutions place disproportionately higher than do their non-elite peers. Results suggest that elite pedigree predicts placement rank among candidates without favorable publication outcomes at top journals (e.g., acceptance or invitation to resubmit) but not among candidates with favorable publication outcomes. Favorable publication outcomes at other journals are unrelated to placement rank. The results suggest joint and complex aristocratic (elite-based) and meritocratic (productivity-based) influences in new accounting faculty hiring.
Activating Transcription Factor-2 Mediates Transcriptional Regulation of Gluconeogenic Gene PEPCK by Retinoic Acid
Authors: Lee Min Young , Jung Che-Hun , Lee Keesook , Choi Yung Hyun , Hong SunHwa , Cheong JaeHun
Published: December 2021

All-trans-retinoic acid (RA) is known to increase the rate of transcription of the PEPCK gene upon engagement of the RA receptor (RAR). RA also mediates induction of specific gene transcription via several signaling pathways as a nongenomic effect. Here we show that RA upregulation of PEPCK promoter activity requires the cAMP response element (CRE)-1 in addition to the RA-response element and that activating transcription factor-2 (ATF-2) binds the CRE element to mediate this effect. Furthermore, we show that RA treatment potentiates ATF-2-dependent transactivation by inducing specific phosphorylation of ATF-2 by p38β kinase. ATF-2 activation by RA blocked the inhibitory intramolecular interaction of ATF-2 amino and carboxyl terminal domains in a p38β kinase-dependent manner. Consistent with these results, RA treatment increased the DNA binding activity of ATF-2 on the PEPCK CRE-1 sequence. Taken together, the data suggest that RA activates the p38β kinase pathway leading to phosphorylation and activation of ATF-2, thereby enhancing PEPCK gene transcription and glucose production.

Published: December 2021

Guidelines for cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck do not take the age of the patient into account, but instead assume equal tumour characteristics and prognostic factors for poor outcome in younger and elderly patients. The aim of this study was to compare tumour characteristics of younger (< 75 years) and elderly (≥ 75 years) patients and identify age-specific risk factors for progression of disease, comprising local recurrence, nodal metastasis and distant metastasis. Patient and tumour characteristics were compared using χ2 or Fisher’s exact tests. Multivariable competing risk analyses were performed to compare risk factors for progression of disease, incorporating the risk of dying before developing progression of disease. A total of 672 patients with primary cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck were retrospectively included. Larger tumour diameter, worse differentiation grade and deeper invasion were observed in older patients. In elderly patients, but not in younger patients, tumour diameter ≥ 40 mm, moderate differentiation grade and an invasion depth ≥ 2 mm were independent risk factors for progression of disease.

Published: December 2021

Since the results of basic and specific classification in male androgenetic alopecia are subjective, and trichoscopic data, such as hair density and diameter distribution, are potential quantitative indicators, the aim of this study was to develop a deep learning framework for automatic trichoscopic image analysis and a quantitative model for predicting basic and specific classification in male androgenetic alopecia. A total of 2,910 trichoscopic images were collected and a deep learning framework was created on convolutional neural networks. Based on the trichoscopic data provided by the framework, correlations with basic and specific classification were analysed and a quantitative model was developed for predicting basic and specific classification using multiple ordinal logistic regression. A deep learning framework that can accurately analyse hair density and diameter distribution on trichoscopic images and a quantitative model for predicting basic and specific classification in male androgenetic alopecia were established.
Preliminary characterization of the prehistoric mine of chocolate flint in Poręba Dzierżna, site 24 (Wolbrom commune, Lesser Poland voivodeship)
Authors: Sudoł-Procyk Magdalena , Krajcarz Maciej , Malak Magdalena , H. Werra Dagmara
Published: December 2021

Researches on prehistoric flint mines are currently widely developing, as they allow a deep insight into the past economy, early industry, and the network of trading routes and inter-regional contacts. In the territory of Poland and in general, Central Europe, one of the most important flint raw materials was an Upper Jurassic chert, so-called chocolate flint. In this paper are presented preliminary results of the research of chocolate flint mine in Poręba Dzierżna, site 24 (Kraków-Częstochowa Upland, southern Poland). The outcrop, and anthropogenic relief indicating the activity of prehistoric miners, were discovered in 2013. Recently excavations undertaken on the site recorded the remains of mining shafts, spoil heaps, and rich traces of workshops. The deposits of chocolate flint were previously known only in the Holy Cross Mountains, 130 km to the NE. The research undertaken has therefore a significant impact on the existing interpretations related to the extraction, use, and distribution of chocolate flint by prehistoric communities in Central Europe.
Poles in the Arkhangelsk exile during the Second World War (a case study of the special settlements of Uima and Koskovo)
Authors: Suprun Mikhail N. , Gerasimova Alena I.
Published: December 2021

After the outbreak of the Second World War, the eastern territories of Poland were occupied by the Soviet troops (and the new Soviet-Polish border was removed far to the West). Almost 320 thousand Polish citizens who resided in these territories were arrested and sent to the camps and special settlements in the remote regions of the USSR. Of them, almost 58 thousand people were deported to Arkhangelsk Oblast. Based on the materials of two special settlements of Primorsky Raion of Arkhangelsk Oblast, this article considers the process of deportation of Polish citizens, the conditions of their accommodation and labor, their legal status, and repatriation. The authors made an attempt to identify social groups, establish the sex and age composition of the deportees, describe the process of their adaptation to the new conditions and labor efficiency, and point out the peculiarities of the application of amnesty and repatriation. According to the results of the study, the authors came to the conclusion that the conditions in the special settlements under study were such that the death rate among Polish settlers there in the first winter was almost 10% despite the territorial proximity of these settlements to the regional center. Of the survivors, only 20% of working-age men could be involved in the work in the forest. The rest of the exiles consisted of women and children, more than half of whom (47%) were children under the age of 14. In violation of the law, another 15–20% of this number could be sent to work, but in any case, the labor efficiency of such workers was minimal. The situation was aggravated by the lack of normal working and living conditions, which entailed high disease incidence and, as a result, absence from work. Such a contingent became burdensome for logging enterprises. Even with the lowest wages, special settlers’ labor was unprofitable. Meanwhile, even after the 1941 amnesty, the authorities did everything they could to keep the special settlers in the USSR. The authors explain this fact by an attempt to make Polish citizens hostages in resolving the “Polish issue,” i.e. recognition of the new Soviet-Polish border by the West and the Polish Government-in-Exile in London. As soon as an agreement with the allies on the western border of the USSR was reached and the special settlers got an opportunity to leave the USSR, there was no single Polish citizen who wanted to stay in the Soviet Union, and all of them hastened to leave for their homeland.

Resiliência e Transformação do Comércio: O Caso Português
Authors:   Universidade Europeia, Portugal, Rousseau José António
Published: December 2021

Como compreender os mecanismos ou os processos que, empresas retalhistas independentes de Lisboa, criadas ao longo do século XIX e algumas até anteriores, conseguiram dobrar o século XX e chegar aos dias de hoje ainda saudáveis, lucrativas e com potencial para o futuro? Tal situação só pode ser explicada pela fantástica capacidade de resiliência demonstrada na sua atividade ao longo de quase dois séculos. Fatores como a transição familiar intergeracional e a ligação da atividade retalhista a uma indústria não são determinantes, sendo mesmo os fatores com menor potencial de resiliência encontrados, facto que, em certa medida, face à perceção pacífica existente, constitui uma surpresa deste estudo. Em contrapartida, os fatores internos da atividade comercial como, a localização, a natureza ultra especializada e a qualidade do serviço e do atendimento constituem-se como fortes fatores potencializadores da resiliência do retalho independente centenário de Lisboa.

Este estudo, de natureza ensaística, analisa a recente Resolução CNE 02/2019 que estabelece a Base Nacional Comum para a Formação Inicial de Professores da Educação Básica. O texto pretende desvelar as intencionalidades político-ideológicas contidas no referido documento. Para tanto, toma como questão de pesquisa: Quais intencionalidades político-ideológicas se corporificam nas referidas diretrizes? Os resultados indicam que o ideário proposto se pauta numa compreensão tecnicista da docência, ancorado na pedagogia neoliberal que se reverbera no campo da profissionalização docente, induzindo a práticas reducionistas de formação e reconduzindo-as a uma concepção instrumental e acrítica da didática e ao retrocesso epistemológico da pedagogia das competências de cunho behaviorista.

Published: December 2021

Apresenta-se os resultados de uma pesquisa realizada em uma instituição da rede estadual de Pernambuco, sobre a importância da escola para os projetos de vida dos jovens do ensino médio integrado. Os dados são provenientes da aplicação de questionários e da realização de entrevistas com estudantes do último ano do ensino médio. Constatou-se que os jovens reconhecem a importância da escola para seus projetos de vida, contudo, apontam para a necessidade de outra dinâmica no interior da escola. Querem ser mais ouvidos, partilharem suas dúvidas e incertezas com os professores. Mesmo realizando um curso técnico, predomina entre eles o interesse em chegar ao ensino superior. Indicam os professores como a maior interferência da escola em seus projetos de vida.
Educando à direita e as políticas educacionais neoliberais, conservadoras e fundamentalistas

Ao reconfigurar a obra de Michael Apple, Educando à direita: mercados, padrões, deus e desigualdade, de 2001, buscamos uma compreensão das disputas que se colocam no campo educacional brasileiras com o avanço de uma onda conservadora, neoliberal e fundamentalista. Nesse sentido, o contexto político-econômico-jurídico serve como pano de fundo para expor como a convergência de grupos alinhados à direita têm se articulado esforços em prol de uma educação que serve ao mercado, ao estabelecimento de padrões, à “deus” e à manutenção das desigualdades. Essas ideologias avançam sobre a educação através de reformas que se pretendem neutras e comprometidas com uma suposta eficiência e qualidade que a escola deveria ter sob a égide do capital. A pesquisa se desenvolve pelo levantamento de conceitos e categorias de viés crítico com a análise de alguns projetos educacionais em desenvolvimento no contexto brasileiro.
“Tudo deve mudar para que tudo fique como está”

O estudo busca identificar e analisar as intencionalidades formativas prescritas pela Base Nacional Comum Curricular (BNCC) para as ciências da natureza. Nesse sentido, realizamos a análise de conteúdo de documentos. Os resultados da investigação evidenciam que a BNCC retoma perspectivas formativas presentes nos Parâmetros Curriculares Nacionais, alinhando princípios formativos da escola com demandas do mercado global. Sobre a Educação em Ciências, constatamos diferenças entre as diferentes versões da BNCC. Na terceira versão, verificou-se ênfase na realização de atividades investigativas, retomando perspectivas epistemológicas positivistas, além da influência da STEM education no documento. Nossas conclusões apontam que há uso de conceitos, metas e ideais pouco aprofundados e discutidos na BNCC, os quais são esvaziados de significados diante da polissemia que engendram.
Questões epistemológicas no campo da didática
Authors: Streck Danilo Romeu
Published: December 2021

O texto tem por objetivo identificar e discutir nuances da relação entre epistemologia e didática com atenção especial para continuidades e rupturas evidenciadas nas últimas décadas. A primeira parte do texto analisa o estatuto epistemológico da didática a partir da Didática Magna de Comenius. Segue-se uma reflexão sobre momentos na formação do autor, como exemplo da historicidade das didáticas e das epistemologias que as orientam. O terceiro tópico identifica lugares de resistências epistemológicas na América Latina. Na tentativa de síntese, são apontados caminhos para a construção epistemológica na didática: o cultivo de uma atitude de humildade e vigilância, o reconhecimento da historicidade e da contextualidade das epistemologias e a necessidade de assunção de autoria epistêmica. A conclusão aponta perspectivas de continuidade do diálogo sobre o tema.

Poesia digital
Authors: Marques Angela Cristina Salgueiro , Marques Ângela Maria Salgueiro
Published: December 2021

A origem do poema pode ser associada à poesia concretista, embora uma parte significativa desse gênero tenha se desenvolvido a partir de experimentos combinatórios que seguiram vanguardas baseadas em códigos matemáticos e combinatórios. A aplicação do hipertexto a sua estrutura possibilita o desdobramento da obra em diagramas de múltiplos devires que permitem passagens entre matrizes lógicas e experiências sensório-comunicativas. O objetivo deste artigo é mostrar como, na poesia digital, há uma complexa reconfiguração entre linguagens e tecnologias, concentrando-se em alguns de seus primeiros movimentos de experimentação. Para tanto, amparadas  pelas reflexões de Antônio (2002), Domingues (1997), Risério (1998), Machado (1993), Ferreira (2008), Menezes (1996) e Plaza (1987), entre outros, privilegiaremos algumas das transformações pelas quais passou a poesia no século XX, mapeando propostas e iniciativas inovadoras que podem ser apontadas como precursoras da poesia digital e das relações intersígnicas que ela promove.
Beyond thought:
Authors: Amerika Mark , Bastos Marcus
Published: December 2021

The following is a remixed excerpt from a book-length manuscript titled My Life as an Artificial Creative Intelligence. The book is constructed as a theoretical fiction composed by the “author” Mark Amerika in collaboration with a GPT-2 language model. The book was written as an improvisational call-and-response writing performance with an AI text generator and is arranged as a series of intellectual provocations that investigate the creative process across the human-nonhuman spectrum. Critically reflecting on whether or not creativity itself is, at root, a nonhuman information behavior that emerges from an onto-operational presence experiencing an otherworldly aesthetic sensibility, the author playfully engages with his cyberpunk imagination to simultaneously embrace and problematize human-machine collaborations. Contrary to most contemporary AI research that attempts to build AI systems that perform more like humans, Amerika flips the script and, in My Life as an Artificial Creative Intelligence, questions how his own “psychic automatism” is itself a nonhuman function strategically designed to reveal the poetic attributes of programmable worlds still unimagined.

Do som ao traço:

O objetivo deste artigo é demonstrar como os traços musicais, desde a escolha dos instrumentos, passando pelo uso das unidades métricas até a oralidade, constituem uma parte fundamental do processo de composição dos poemas na antiguidade. Para isso, discutiremos a definição dos gêneros poéticos na Antiguidade Clássica, isto é, entre os gregos e romanos, e também buscaremos expandir essa própria noção de “clássico”, ao investigar a oralidade em algumas poéticas de matrizes africanas. Trata-se de uma tentativa de recuperar uma dimensão performática capaz de evidenciar uma singularidade e também de compreender melhor as potencialidades de afecção de cada poema. Em suma, é um movimento teórico que busca recolocar o corpo no centro da enunciação, dentro de comunidades baseadas na comunicação oral, a partir das teorizações de Ruth Finnegan, o que certamente pode gerar ruídos significativos ao longo das transmissões.
Escrita, dramaturgia e performance em Adeus, cavalo, de Nuno Ramos
Authors: Nascimento Giovanna Luisa Ribeiro do , Duarte de Oliveira Maria Rosa
Published: December 2021

Este artigo propõe uma análise da obra Adeus, Cavalo, de Nuno Ramos, com o objetivo de examinar a performance na escrita da narrativa tomada como acontecimento. Sob a perspectiva de uma escrita que empresta técnicas de outros suportes artísticos (o teatro, por exemplo), a discussão pressupõe como objetivos específicos: investigar sucintamente o caminho percorrido pela tradição artística e literária para o alcance de novas possibilidades no campo da escrita; apontar os lugares do autor e do leitor em uma narrativa associada a elementos do teatro performativo e, finalmente, descrever a performatividade nos procedimentos literários empregados para a construção do romance. Utilizando os conceitos de performance de Zumthor (2018) e performatividade de Féral (2008), como pontos norteadores do debate, as demais reflexões dizem respeito a elementos que permeiam o estudo da literatura contemporânea de modo geral, a partir de críticos como Pellegrini (2007) e Schollhammer (2012).
Contar e não contar

O objetivo desta pesquisa é investigar o processo narrativo no romance gráfico de Valêncio Xavier. A novela O Mez da Grippe (1981) será analisada e comparada a outras produções, situando-a na tradição dos romances gráficos do autor. Dessa forma, confrontando-a com as ideias de Benjamin (2012) acerca da extinção do narrador e de Adorno (2003) e Santiago (1989) sobre o narrador pós-moderno contemporâneo, analisamos como se dá a narração em uma produção literária como esta, marcada pela inclusão da arte gráfica: recortes de jornais, anúncios, postais e colagens que adentram a obra como formas de mediação da escrita. A justaposição das imagens, índices do real que, por sua vez, constroem a ficcionalidade quando retirados de seu espaço/tempo, é responsável pela narrativa, montada pelo leitor, num ir e vir, cruzar-entrecruzar de informações.
Nuevas variantes, el triunfalismo vacunal y la utopía de la “inmunidad de rebaño”
Authors: Simancas-Racines Daniel , Hidalgo Ricardo
Published: December 2021

Con una población mundial que anhela regresar a la “normalidad” anterior a la pandemia Covid-19, el discurso político se ha centrado en encontrar ese porcentaje mágico de población a vacunar necesaria para alcanzar la tan esperada “inmunidad de rebaño” que permitiría a groso modo quitar las restricciones establecidas. Pero esta decisión no tiene base científica sólida debido a que la aparición de nuevas variantes aumenta la capacidad y velocidad de contagio del virus y amenaza la efectividad de las vacunas cambiando las reglas establecidas y los cálculos más optimistas. Por tanto, se va tornando utópica la posibilidad de derrotar al SARSCOV2 en el corto plazo y solamente a través de las vacunas. Es indispensable cambiar el mensaje negacionista y de relajación de un posible fin de la pandemia en pocos días por uno dirigido a mantener las medidas de prevención como la mascarilla, distancia y lavado de manos, vacunación masiva refuerzos, vigilancia epidemiológica, análisis genómico del virus, que son pilares fundamentales para combatir adecuadamente esta guerra sanitaria que no da tregua y sobre la que aún tendremos mucho que hablar.
