Published: July 2024

This study investigates the application of a Brute Force algorithm optimized with Bubble Sort for new student admission selection. The Brute Force algorithm, while guaranteeing accurate results, suffers from exponential time complexity with increasing data size, posing a challenge for large applicant pools. To address this limitation, this research integrates Bubble Sort optimization to reduce the execution time complexity of the Brute Force algorithm. This study goes beyond solving the student admission selection problem; it explores optimizing the Brute Force algorithm by leveraging the simplicity and efficiency of Bubble Sort. This approach aims to determine the extent to which the Brute Force algorithm can be optimized for student selection, particularly regarding execution time complexity. The integration of Bubble Sort is hypothesized to significantly improve the performance of the Brute Force algorithm by reordering data before processing, thereby minimizing unnecessary comparisons. This paper presents a comparative analysis of execution times between the traditional Brute Force approach and the optimized version. Preliminary results indicate a substantial improvement in efficiency, suggesting that this hybrid approach could be a valuable solution for similar combinatorial problems with time complexity constraints. Further research could explore the applicability of this optimized algorithm in other domains where time complexity is a critical factor.

Psychological features of perception of artworks by people with different types of functional brain asymmetry
Authors: Kresan Olha
Published: July 2024

The relevance of the study is conditioned by the increased attention of modern psychology to individual personality traits and its decreased focus on the normativity of an individual. In the process of individual development, the contemplation of art allows a person not only to broaden their own worldview, but also contributes to cultural enrichment. The purpose of the study was an empirical investigation of the features of perception of works of art by persons with different types of functional brain asymmetry. The study was conducted using the method of standardised interviews with the subjects of two groups: the main group – people who do not have professional knowledge of art (N = 43), and the control group – students studying art history and fine arts as professional disciplines, and familiar with the rules for constructing composition in a picture (N = 30). The results were analysed using statistical criteria: the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test and the Fisher angular transformation criterion φ*. As a result of the empirical study, there were no statistically reliable patterns in the perception of works of art in the general group, but significant differences were found in the features of perception of movement and its speed in works of art by persons with different types of functional/interhemispheric brain asymmetry, which indicates a nonlinear nature of perception, and the influence of cognitive phenotypes on the perception of works of art. The perception of artworks is an individual cognitive process that may differ between the author and the recipient of artistic creativity, and the author’s intention may be misunderstood by the audience if the features of individual perception of a work of art, and the laterality of the personality, are not considered. The practical significance of the study lies in the possibility of applying its results in the process of professional training of students of art specialities, considering the specific features of the laterality of art recipients

Published: July 2024

Background: Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic condition defined by elevated blood glucose levels caused by abnormalities in insulin secretion, insulin action, or both. Anti-diabetic drug pharmacovigilance can be extremely useful in identifying and resolving the adverse drug reactions (ADRs) and safeguarding patients from needless injury. Objective: The objective of the study was to determine the prevalence of various adverse events caused by the use of anti-diabetic medications in patients treated at tertiary care hospital. Method: It was a randomized controlled study where the participants were randomized into two groups i.e., interventional or study group and control group. All suspected ADRs were collected, analysed and confirmed by the physician-in-charge and were assessed for causality using WHO-UMC Causality Categories, Naranjo’s causality assessment scale, preventability using Modified-Schumock and Thornton scale, severity using Modified Hartwig and Siegel scale by the Causality Assessment Committee (CAC). Results: The study included a total of 300 subjects among which 218 were male (72.67%) and 82 were female (27.33%). A total of 300 patients, 104 ADRs were identified, in which 46.15% were observed in the control group and 53.85% in the interventional group. Females were more prevalent to the ADRs. The majority of ADRs were seen in age group of >70 in which 15.38% were observed in the control group and 18.27% in the interventional group. The Highest observed ADR of 20 (19.23%) was Hypoglycemia in which 9(8.65) were observed in the control group and 11(10.57) in the interventional group followed by weight gain i.e, 10 (9.61%) in which 5(4.80%) were observed in the control group and 5(4.80%) in the interventional group. Conclusion: ADR relating to antidiabetic therapy utilizing oral antidiabetics and insulin was found to be prevalent. The doctors and clinical pharmacists are therefore needed to identify and report the appropriate signals generated to the nearest ADR monitoring centre or Pharmacovigilance Programme of India for the benefit of the patients.
Voriconazole and Beauvercin Loaded Niosomal Mucoadhesive Nanogel as an effective Treatment for the Management of Oral Candidiasis
Authors: Rani Deepika , Sharma Vinit Kumar , Singh Ranjit
Published: July 2024

Oral candidiasis is a fungal infection, which affects the oral mucosa. The main causative agent of this is Candida albicans and as the literature indicates highest prevalence of Candida bloodstream infections in India. Most commonly azole derivatives such as miconazole, fluconazole, itraconazol etc. are used to manage the infection. However, their efficacy is compromised due to multidrug resistance. A new azole derivative voriconzole could be effective but its poor water solubility and bioavailability are seen as significant limitations. Its efficacy can be enhanced by combining it with beauvericin, a cyclic hexadepsipeptide with remarkable antifungal activity against candida. One study reported that combining of beauvericin with voriconzole reduce the MIC of voriconazole by 128th times. Furthermore the solubility and bioavailability were enhanced by loading both the drugs in niosomes. The niosomes were imcorporated into a polymeric mucoadhesive gel post statistically optimization by the Box-Behnken experimental design. The niosomes were subjected to evaluation for vesicular size, surface morphology, entrapment efficiency, drug release and zeta potential High entrapment efficiency was observed in the optimized noisome formulation F3 (89.89±0.64 % for voriconazole and 92.98±0.35 % for beauvericin) exhibiting cumulative drug release of 79.98±1.87 % for voriconazole and 69.17±1.98 % for beauvericin. The mucoadhesive gel was smooth, homogenious with desired pH and mucodhesion. The stability studies indicated that all the formulations are stable as evidence by no significant change in drug content over the time. These findings suggest that a niosmal mucoadhesive gel loaded with voriconazole and beauvericin is a good therapeutic delivery system for the effective treatment of oral candidiasis.

This study aims to investigate the effects of a compound named hordenine on cells. We examined its impact on gene expression, inflammation, and cell proliferation. To do this, we took unique steps. We started by examining how effectively cells were developing. To gauge how quickly they were multiplying, we conducted a test. We also counted the number of cells by using a machine. Then, we performed a specialized test to evaluate the inflammatory marker IL-6. We also used a technique called RT-PCR to examine particular genes in the cells. Additionally, we used a computer simulation to examine how hordenine interacts with the specific protein MMP1. The findings demonstrated that even a modest amount of hordenine significantly aided cell growth. It also diminished. The stuff called hordenine helped lower inflammation more than another thing called rotenone. Cells treated with hordenine made less of something called IL-6. When we looked at certain genes in skin cells that were treated with hordenine, they seemed more active. Hordenine also binds well to a protein with an energy of -4.5 Kcal/mol. Because of all this, we think hordenine is good for cells. It helps cells grow and can triplicate when they're not working well.

Purpose: to assess the recovery of static, dynamic balance and postural control while overcoming muscle imbalance after an anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction by applying analytical exercises. Material and methods: Material: 15 men (mean age 25.16) were observed in the span of 14 weeks (three and a half months) after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. They underwent physiotherapy, including analytical kinetic chain exercises in hospital, ambulatory and at home conditions. Research, measurement, and evaluation methods include range of motion in the knee joint, manual muscle testing (MMT), static and dynamic balance tests, and postural control tests. Statistical methods include statistical data grouping, Cronbach’s test, descriptive method, testing of statistical hypotheses, and correlation analysis. The data was processed with SPSS v.24.0 for Windows. Results: The results show a change in the static postural control with a 1/4-point deviation from the standard. This requires the inclusion of additional sensorimotor exercises in combination with other specific and general strengthening exercises. Conclusion: From the performed observation and the obtained results, compared to those of 20 healthy men, the following conclusion has been drawn: the analytical exercises for lower extremities lead to the overcoming of dysfunction and increased stability in the extremities. The physiotherapy programme should include sensory stimulation exercises tailored for strengthening the weakened muscles and should contribute to the overcoming of muscle imbalance.

The performance of traffic lights often encounters issues such as lights being out or other malfunctions, which can result in erratic traffic patterns and even total gridlock at the same intersection, potentially leading to accidents among drivers. Therefore, it is crucial to design a monitoring system for traffic light malfunctions using the Blynk application based on IoT ESP32. This system aims to facilitate technicians in monitoring the condition of traffic lights in case of malfunctions across all lanes. It utilizes an ESP32 microcontroller, LED lights or traffic lights, resistors as converters, and the Blynk application as a monitoring tool. From the testing of the prototype device, it was found that the average values for red light were ADC 1.367, voltage 1.10 volts, and current 5.01 mA. For yellow light, the values were ADC 1.265, voltage 1.02 volts, and current 4.63 mA. As for green light, the values were ADC 1.283, voltage 1.03 volts, and current 4.70 mA. The average delays for red, yellow, and green lights were 2 seconds, 2 seconds, and 5 seconds respectively, with the green light flashing three times for 0.5 seconds each time for all lanes.

Struktura produkcji indywidualnego gospodarstwa rolnego w Polsce i w krajach UE-27. Analiza podobieństw w 2007 roku
Authors: Ryś-Jurek Roma
Published: July 2024

Celem wykonanych badań było porównanie struktury produkcji rolniczej przeciętnego polskiego indywidualnego gospodarstwa rolnego z produkcją przeciętnego gospodarstwa z krajów UE-27. W analizach wykorzystano dane FADN dla roku 2007. Zastosowano analizę opisowa i porównawczą, a także wybrane metody statystyczne (wskaźniki natężenia i struktury, miarę podobieństwa struktur, standaryzację cech prostych i hierarchiczną klasyfikację aglomeracyjną). Po porównaniu podstawowych średnich wyników polskiego i unijnego gospodarstwa rolnego, okazało się, że większość tych kategorii w polskim przeciętnym indywidualnym gospodarstwie rolnym była o ok. połowę niższa niż w gospodarstwie unijnym. W trzech rankingach według wartości bezwzględnych produkcji ogółem, produkcji roślinnej i produkcji zwierzęcej, polskie przeciętne gospodarstwo rolne zajęło końcowe pozycje pośród 26 innych przeciętnych unijnych gospodarstw rolnych. Po zastosowaniu miary podobieństwa struktur, okazało się, że struktura produkcji ogółem polskiego przeciętnego gospodarstwa rolnego jest charakterystyczna dla krajów Europy Środkowej i Północnej. Przy czym struktura produkcji roślinnej przeciętnego polskiego gospodarstwa rolnego jest najbardziej podobna do struktury produkcji roślinnej gospodarstwa brytyjskiego i niemieckiego, a struktura produkcji zwierzęcej do struktury węgierskiej. Przeprowadzona hierarchiczna klasyfikacja aglomeracyjna (ze względu strukturę produkcji, rozmiar ESU, powierzchnię UR, produkcję i dochód) zakwalifikowała polskie przeciętne gospodarstwo rolne do klasy średnio-małych gospodarstw z Europy Środkowej i Wschodniej o produkcji głównie roślinnej ze znacznym udziałem w produkcji: zbóż, warzyw i kwiatów, ale i także mleka krowiego i produktów mlecznych oraz wieprzowiny.
Wpływ likwidacji kwot mlecznych na sytuację produkcyjną i ekonomiczną producentów mleka w Unii Europejskiej (wyniki symulacji modelowych)
Authors: Baer-Nawrocka Agnieszka , Kiryluk-Dryjska Ewa
Published: July 2024

Celem badań jest symulacja możliwych skutków likwidacji kwot mlecznych dla producentów mleka w krajach Unii Europejskiej. Przedmiotem analizy jest porównanie symulowanej sytuacji na rynku mleka w 2020 roku w przypadku kontynuacji i likwidacji systemu kwotowania. Badania przeprowadzono z wykorzystaniem modelu równowagi cząstkowej CAPRI (Common Agricultural Policy Regionalised Impact). Analiza uzyskanych wyników badań symulacyjnych wykazała, że zniesienie systemu kwotowego spowoduje przeniesienie produkcji mleka w te regiony Europy, gdzie warunki klimatyczne oraz relatywnie niskie koszty sprzyjają rozwojowi produkcji. W wielu krajach może również dojść do terytorialnej reorganizacji produkcji. Likwidacja kwot ułatwi zatem racjonalizację przestrzennego rozmieszczenia produkcji mleka z punktu widzenia jej efektywności oraz poprawi konkurencyjność UE na rynku globalnym.

Little Magazine Dialogism
Authors: Buhl Lilean
Published: July 2024

This article aims to show how a range of little magazines (Rogue, the Voice of the Negro, and Fire!!) engaged with their surrounding media environment and influenced aesthetic or ethical discourse in other print publications. The article argues that it was precisely the magazines’ minor status that allowed them to affect larger modern print culture. Through explicit dialogues with other publications, modernists tended to reach beyond their initial readership communities in order to rearrange perceptions about aesthetics, norms, or politics in the public sphere. Their dialogues are pertinent to analyzing modernism’s refractory impulses vis-à-vis mass culture or public consciousness.
Prospects for the Study of Harriet Jacobs
Authors: Culkin Kate
Published: July 2024

Jean Fagan Yellin’s 1987 annotated edition of Harriet Jacobs’s Incidents in the Life of Slave Girl, Written by Herself, documenting Jacobs as the author and the narrative as nonfiction, ushered in a wave of Jacobs scholarship. Yellin’s Harriet Jacobs: A Life (2003) and the two-volume Harriet Jacobs Family Papers (2008), along with criticism on Incidents in the context of sentimentalism and slave narratives, helped spur another generation of scholarship and popular interest in Jacobs. Jacobs is now found as a source in fields spanning from the expected literature and history to medicine, psychology, political theory, aging, girlhood, and religious studies. This survey of scholarship appearing after the publication of Papers highlights religion, health, biographical studies of Jacobs and her circle, and analysis of Jacobs in popular culture as areas of development and urges more engagement with the archival sources available for Jacobs’s life after the publication of Incidents.
Recovering the Worker in Meridel Le Sueur’s Worker Writers (1939/1982)
Authors: Chen Wilson C. , Morris Davis Maggie E.
Published: July 2024

While Meridel Le Sueur’s oeuvre has continued to receive increased scholarly attention since the late twentieth century, less attention has been paid to her creative writing manual Worker Writers, originally printed in 1939 for the Works Progress Administration in Minnesota when Le Sueur taught creative writing for the Workers Education Project of the New Deal. Although West End Press republished in 1982 a revised edition of Worker Writers, this edition made omissions that have limited readers’ engagement with Le Sueur’s vision. Removed are the nine worker stories curated by Le Sueur; also removed are references to these stories in the instructional language as well as references to Midwest regional developments. Recovering the 1939 text enables a fuller understanding of Le Sueur’s approach to proletarian writing. The 1939 manual shows Le Sueur’s vision of proletarian expression informed by her commitment to the writing workshop; her understanding of the literacies workers possess vis-à-vis more conventional literary technique and aesthetics; and her mobilization of regional Americanist discourses to create an elevated platform for worker writing, especially in the Midwest. The manual should also be studied in the context of Le Sueur’s efforts to develop a cultural “infrastructure” for worker writing in the Midwest.
Ralph Ellison, Democracy, and American Vernacular Culture
Authors: Pinkerton Steve
Published: July 2024

This review essay examines In the Shadow of Invisibility: Ralph Ellison and the Promise of American Democracy (2022), by Sterling Lecater Bland, Jr. Eschewing the more expressly political approaches taken by recent Ellison scholars, Bland shows how Ellison mines the resources of vernacular traditions—far more than those of politics or ideology—to explore the formation of national culture. This was true, according to Bland’s first chapter, even during Ellison’s leftist years of literary apprenticeship. Subsequent chapters take up Ellison’s continued engagements with democracy and vernacular culture in his writings on jazz, Ralph Waldo Emerson, and the Black Arts movement, as well as in his never-completed second novel.

Background: Nurses play a pivotal role in combating antimicrobial resistance (AMR). However, the success of local and national AMR containment efforts hinges on the knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) of nursing staff and undergraduate students.
Objectives: This study aims to explore the determinants of nurses’ KAP regarding AMR, offering insights to control the emergence and spread of drug-resistant pathogens.
Methods: This cross-sectional, multicenter survey involving Italian nurses, nursing students, and healthcare professionals was conducted administering an anonymous online questionnaire focusing on AMR. The median score of 12 was taken as the cutoff for “good KAP.” The association between study variables and good KAP was assessed using chi-square or t-tests, followed by multivariable logistic regression analysis for statistically significant (p < 0.05) variables.
Findings: Among 848 participants, 61.9% (n = 525) were students, and 39.6% (n = 336) scored as having “low KAP.” High KAP was associated with being female and studying AMR independently. Conversely, living in southern Italy and receiving AMR training from pharmaceutical companies were associated with low KAP.
Conclusions: Among Italian nurses, AMR awareness relies on those who have studied AMR as self-taught and is affected by gender and region. Italian universities lack in lectures on AMR management, and much needs to be done to improve awareness of antimicrobial stewardship among nonmedical health workers.
Una reevaluación al rol de la imaginación en la primera meditación cartesiana
Authors: Espinoza Marchant Loreto
Published: July 2024

Ciertas lecturas, orientadas por el argumento del sueño de laprimera meditaciónde Descartes, insisten en marginar el rol de la imaginación apelando a que estafacultad va contra el objetivo del proyecto metafísicocartesiano.A lo anterior se le suma que dicha meditaciónsuele ser casual y débilmente estudiada, comosi la argumentación ofrecida ahí no tuviese la necesidad de una discusión pormenorizada.Sin embargo, en el presente artículo propongo que, al revisitar estos pasajes, existe la plausibilidad de rastrear un rol metódico de la imaginación, en la medida que esta se comprendacomo ficción, es decir, como creadora de estructuras mentales que no tiene por condiciónnecesaria la correspondencia con la realidad sensoperceptiva y la representación de imágenesen la mente. Esta orientación permite hacer notar que el rol metódico de la imaginación se ve manifestado en tres momentos esenciales para lameditación mencionada: la escena de la estufa, el argumento del sueño y la suposición del genio maligno.
Lógos y Phýsis. Una consideración sobre los orígenes presocráticos de la Filosofía Antigua a la luz del método filológico
Authors: Barriga Ortega Fernando
Published: July 2024

La presente indagación busca ofrecer un estudio abreviado acerca del origen de la filosofía, tomando como fuente principal lo que la corriente historiográfica –y la filológica– contemporánea del siglo XX suelen discutir en torno a dicha problemática. Ambas corrientes coinciden en reflexionar en torno a una tesis histórica: durante los siglos VI-V a.C. habría sucedido el “milagro griego”: la “liberación del lógos respecto del mýthos”. Ante este asunto, se abordarán dos posiciones históricas: primero, la perspectiva según la cual la liberación del lógos –razón– corresponde en sentido estricto a la época de la filosofía, ya que nacería como “verdadero pensamiento” según un origen propio; segundo, la perspectiva que entiende el origen del pensamiento filosófico como una forma más abstracta de la antigua forma del mýthos, según lo cual la “cosmogonía” configura una incipiente “filosofía natural”. Considerando lo anterior, la presente indagación busca ofrecer una clave de lectura en la comprensión del origen de la filosofía, proponiendo un enfoque “filológico”, según lo cual, es necesario desarrollar una interpretación de la “individualidad” en tanto que “expresión” que nace de una “interioridad viva”. Se precisará de una descripción de dos nociones arcaicas fundamentales en el estudio de la antigüedad: lógos –razón– y phýsis –naturaleza– atribuidos a pensadores de la época presocrática, con el fin de evaluar un posible sentido filosófico de ambos conceptos.
Protection Against Unemployment - A Fundamental Right? A Study In The Context Of Indian Constitution, Indian Judiciary & International Perspectives
Authors: Babu Botuku Ramesh , Lakshmi Prof Dr V Vijay
Published: July 2024

The Constitution of India aims at extemporizing the socioeconomic status of the individuals. It guarantees every citizen a Right to Life which is the basic right of all the Fundamental Rights, and directs the State to provide him or her livelihood adequate for leading a meaningful life. The Judiciary widened the extent of this Right by describing it as not mere leading a life but living with human dignity. Towards this direction, the Right to Work has been recognized as integral part of the Right to Life since it is the crucial component and indispensable element to be able to live, and to have a continuous improvement in the living conditions. However, for the last several years, the State is engaging workers through casual, contract, co-terminus, adhoc and outsourcing methods - impeding the efficiency of the laborers, demeaning their living, promoting litigious employment, and enhancing the unemployment rate. This has therefore become a serious social concern across the country where a large number of people are struggling for secured employment which is to be studied and addressed in the context of the Indian constitutional, judiciary and international perspectives. Recently, the Judiciary which is the protector of the Fundamental Rights is of the view that the system of "outsourcing" of employment is only a sham and a trick to avoid extending to the workers their legitimate work entitlements. This article is relevant to the Socio-legal research based on the Black-letter as well as Empirical studies which concluded that Protection Against Unemployment is a Fundamental Right under the Right to Life in which the Right to Work is integrated, and this is the high time for having a definite Employment Protection Legislation (EPL) to promote employment security in the country.
Crenologia em Minas Gerais
Authors: Siqueira Costa Schreck Rafaela , Marques Rita de Cássia
Published: July 2024

O uso das águas minerais para tratamento de saúde é um procedimento dos mais antigos. As fontes de águas minerais foram as responsáveis pela formação e o desenvolvimento de muitas cidades em Minas Gerais, atraindo a vinda de vários viajantes interessados no poder curativo e milagroso das águas. No entanto, além de higiene, segurança e conforto, fazia-se necessário atingir outros parâmetros quanto à cientificidade para a indicação terapêutica das águas minerais. Diante desse contexto, o presente estudo objetiva analisar a construção do conhecimento científico sobre o uso terapêutico das águas minerais em Minas Gerais. A análise dos documentos revelou os interesses e disputas econômicas, políticas e educacionais na relação das águas minerais com a criação da Universidade de Minas Gerais e a imposição, pelo presidente do estado, da disciplina de crenologia na formação médica.

A Dissertação possui 140 páginas e está dividida em duas partes. Na primeira, ela discorre sobre a natureza do Fogo; na segunda parte a marquesa trata das leis de propagação do fogo. A marquesa reflete sobre as relações entre o Fogo, a luz, o Sol, a eletricidade e a constituição da matéria; apresenta argumentos da óptica, das reações químicas e de mecânica e geometria. Do ponto de vista metodológico, a marquesa traz argumentos teóricos e resultados experimentais. Além da discussão fundamentada sobre a natureza do calor, a Dissertação da marquesa adquire importância por ser um dos primeiros trabalhos publicados e reconhecidos pela Academia de Ciências de Paris como de autoria de uma mulher.
O teste Stanford-Binet no Brasil
Authors: Cristina S. M. Rocha Ana
Published: July 2024

Em 1916, Lewis Terman publicou uma das versões mais populares do teste de inteligência de Binet-Simon nos Estados Unidos: a Stanford-Binet. Ela foi considerada um marco na história dos testes porque inseriu o conceito de quociente de inteligência (QI) nesse tipo de avaliação. Este artigo procura investigar o processo de elaboração de duas versões do Stanford-Binet no Brasil, cujo trabalho foi liderado por Ernani Lopes no Rio de Janeiro e Ulysses Pernambucano no Recife. Nosso objetivo é o de demonstrar que esses pesquisadores tiveram um papel ativo na reelaboração desses testes, que muitas vezes justificaram a vinculação que foi estabelecida também por eles entre raça, classe e inteligência.
Havia um “Freud brasileiro”? Notas biográficas e análise teórica das primeiras obras de Antônio Austregésilo
Authors: Almeida Corrêa Mikael
Published: July 2024

No final do séc. XIX, a psicologia moderna era uma ciência em formação, com grande influência da neurologia e do movimento alienista. No Brasil, o neurologista Antônio Austregésilo Rodrigues de Lima (1876-1960) esteve entre os primeiros estudiosos da área, propondo inovações em psicoterapia e estudos de métodos emergentes, como a psicanálise. Este artigo apresenta uma análise documental de abordagem biográfica e discorre sobre suas três primeiras obras, do início do século XX (1916-1917). Tem como tese central que Austregésilo não foi apenas um precursor da psicanálise no país (um “freudiano brasileiro”), mas autor de contribuições originais ao campo da medicina mental, tanto em seus aspectos teóricos quanto técnicos (um “Freud brasileiro”).
Galileu e a nova física, de Pablo. R. Mariconda e Júlio Celso Ribeiro de Vasconcelos (São Paulo: Associação Filosófica Scientiae Studia, 2020)
Authors: David Antônio
Published: July 2024

Fundador da física clássica, introdutor do método experimental no estudo dos fenômenos naturais e inventor de um estilo de sistematização e exposição apropriado a esse método. A Revolução Científica do século XVII e a constituição da modernidade confundem-se com a vida e a obra de Galileu Galilei (1564-1642). São quatro as características de sua decisiva contribuição à ciência moderna: uma atitude ativa e a instrumentação científica; a união entre ciência e técnica; a matematização e mecanização do mundo; e a autonomia da ciência e universalidade do método científico. Essa é a tese veiculada em Galileu e a nova física (2020), biografia científica de Galileu – “o primeiro cientista moderno” – escrita por Pablo Rubén Mariconda (Universidade de São Paulo) e Júlio Celso Ribeiro de Vasconcelos (Universidade Federal de Feira de Santana) (p. 15, 19, 22, 38, 42, 108-9, 141, 331-56)...
