Authors: رمضان عبد المجيد
Published: March 2023

Résumé

Le présent article vise à mettre en évidence le phénomène des fausses nouvelles qui alimentent le web et les réseaux sociaux durant les crises. En Algérie, comme dans beaucoup d’autres pays au monde, ces fausses nouvelles sont fabriquées de toutes pièces coïncidant avec la propagation de la pandémie provoquée par le virus Covid-19. Elles ont semé la confusion parmi les citoyens, ce qui a nécessité l'intervention des autorités judiciaires et sécuritaires. La recherche a conclu que des méthodes de dissuasion devraient être adoptées, avec l'utilisation des technologies modernes pour détecter les fausses nouvelles, et l’intensification de la conscience religieuse et éthique de la gravité de la propagation de ces informations
Exploring the effect of sodium hexametaphosphate in coal slime flotation
Authors: Lu Tianshen , Deng Zhengbin , Tang Yun , Tang Haiwen
Published: March 2023

In this paper, the influence of sodium hexametaphosphate (SHMP) in coal slime flotation was studied, and the interaction between SHMP and coal slime flotation particles was revealed through XRD test, contact angle measurement, zeta potential test, scanning electron microscopy analysis, XPS analysis, and DLVO theoretical calculation. The experimental results show that when the dosage of SHMP is 1500 g/t, the recovery rate of clean coal combustibles increases by 9.61 %. SHMP reduces the hydrophobicity of clay minerals (kaolinite) in coal slime flotation and also enhances the dispersibility of coal slime particle. Scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive analysis showed that SHMP reduced the number of clay particles (kaolinite) on the coal surface, thereby reducing the ash content of the clean coal. In this paper, SHMP is mainly used to modify the surface of kaolinite so as to reduce the hydrophobicity of the mineral, that is, to improve the recovery rate of clean coal combustibles in coal slime flotation.

Published: March 2023

Although the flotation behaviors of iron concentrate and quartz are significantly different, quartz is the primary factor that affects the quality of iron concentrate. The flotation mechanism of quartz in the presence of mixed cationic Ca2+/Fe3+-co-activated SDS catcher was studied by conducting flotation tests with pure quartz mineral. The solution chemical calculation method, zeta potential calculation method, Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy technique, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) technique, and other techniques were used to conduct the studies. The results showed that the maximum Ca2+/Fe3+-based synergistic activation of the flotation recovery process could be achieved in a certain range of pH values when three different activators were added sequentially. Analysis of the zeta potential values revealed that the Ca2+/Fe3+-activated quartz surface improved the extent of positive electricity generated and enhanced the SDS adsorption ability of the quartz surface. Results obtained using the FT-IR technique revealed that Ca2+/Fe3+ exerted a synergistic effect, and the adsorption process exploited the single oxygen bond interactions in the monovalent hydroxyl complex Ca(OH)+ and the double oxygen bond interactions in the Fe(OH)3 precipitates. Results obtained using the XPS technique revealed that the synergistic effect exerted by Ca2+/Fe3+ was significantly stronger than that exerted by Ca2+ or Fe3+ alone. The stable Fe-based six-membered chelate ring was formed on the surface of quartz when Fe3+ was the activator, and the chain-like Ca-based complex was formed when Ca2+ was the activator. The adsorption process on the surface of quartz proceeded following chemical as well as physical adsorption pathways. The results revealed that Ca(OH)+ and Fe(OH)3 played prominent roles during the activation of quartz surfaces in the presence of Ca2+/Fe3+.

Authors: Sumaryanto Purwidi
Published: March 2023

Mathematics is still one of the subjects that is less attractive to students. Students often think that mathematics is difficult or even boring. The posing method is one of the efforts that can be developed in order to be a solution in the process of teaching mathematics so that mathematics is no longer something difficult and frightening. A posing method is an approach to learning mathematics where students are not only oriented to solving a problem. However, students participate in making questions. This study aimed to determine the potential of the posing method in improving mathematics learning outcomes in grade IX-G students of SMPN 244 Jakarta, Indonesia. This study is an experimental study with a pre-post test design approach. A total of 36 research subjects participated in this study. The posing method intervention in this study consisted of 2 cycles, with 2 meetings in each cycle. Furthermore, re-intervention and evaluation of the implementation of cycle II as in cycle I. The success of the posing method is carried out by assessing student learning outcomes. Data analysis was carried out in a univariate manner by comparing the average and frequency of student learning outcomes. The results of the study showed that there was a shift in learning outcomes from those that were initially at a score of 5 and then experienced improvement after the posing method was applied to the majority of scores 8 and 9. In conclusion, the posing method has the potential to improve mathematics learning outcomes in grade IX-G students of SMPN 244 Jakarta, Indonesia.

Published: March 2023

The development and supply of superior germplasm are important for promoting tree planting. Kenya has lost many tree seed sources through deforestation, land degradation, forest encroachment and conversion of agricultural land to housing. Nevertheless, limited access to tree seeds of high quality is the major constraint to sustainable tree production in Kenya and proper information on the storability of extracted seeds needs to be improved. Melia volkensii tree species is highly valued in the drylands of Kenya for tremendous roles in social-economic, ecological, and environmental protection and conservation. This experiment aims at determining the viability test of Melia seeds stored as nuts over one year and the effect they will have on seed germination. Furthermore, the research investigates the conducive environment that would favour the storage of Melia seeds to improve their viability status. The experiment showed that Melia seeds stored at room temperature and a temperature of 4 degrees centigrade had higher germination capacities compared to Melia seeds stored at a temperature of -20 degrees centigrade. The peak average germination speed was 2.11, with a germination value of 3.99. Significant (p-value ≤ 0.001) differences were observed in the germination capacities between Melia stored as seeds and nuts for the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh germinations (p-value ≤ 0.05). From the study, Melia stored as seeds at a temperature of 4 degrees centigrade had the highest marginal germination capacity. This study provides the best information for the storage and handling of Melia seeds in maintaining their viability

Published: March 2023

The present paper examines the nexus between technological financial innovation and financial performance in banking sector. A positivist philosophical orientation guided this paper wherein an eight year quarterly panel data for a time period ranging from 2015 to 2021 for thirteen commercial banks in Zimbabwe was adopted for data collection. STATA software was used to analyse the impact of each dimension of technological financial innovation on commercial financial performance. The results showed that the use of automated teller machines and internet banking have strong positive relationship with financial performance, whilst a weak positive relationship was established between mobile banking and financial performance of commercial banks. Moreover, an insignificant association was established between electronic funds transfer and financial performance of commercial banks. The major implication was that banks should intensify the adoption of financial innovation as it enhances their operations.

Authors: Conde Belmonte José Enrique , Huesca González Ana María
Published: March 2023

En este artículo se busca definir la excepcionalidad en el cumplimiento de derechos y libertades de los ciudadanos europeos relativos a libre circulación de personas. La situación derivada de la pandemia de COVID-19 hizo que los miembros de la Unión Europea y del Espacio Schengen decidiesen imponer medidas de restricción de movimientos para ciudadanos y residentes en los mismos. Éstas, entendibles en un primer momento de incertidumbre respecto a una nueva enfermedad, pusieron en jaque el propio sistema europeo de libre circulación, así como la pertinencia de los sistemas de restricción de este derecho vinculado a la ciudadanía europea.

Leveraging Geographic Information in Organization Studies: Beginning the Conversation
Authors: Costantini Rebecca A. , Thompson Courtney M.
Published: March 2023

We propose geographic information systems (GIS) as a framework in organization studies, particularly for scholars who consider the nuances of space and geography in various organizational contexts. GIS are computer-based systems that manage, store, analyze, and distribute spatial data. While more and more scholars recognize the theoretical significance of organizational space, suggestions for conducting empirical research around organizational space using alternative frameworks – such as GIS – are seldom made. We present an introduction to GIS and various spatial analyses through a case study of organizations in the reproductive healthcare field and offer future directions related to the geographic implications of understanding organizations and organizing through GIS.
WAR AND VIOLENCE IN ERNEST HEMINGWAY’S A FAREWELL TO ARMS: A PSYCHO- SOCIAL PERSPECTIVE
Authors: Kumar Mahesh , Kumari Pratima
Published: March 2023

Ernest Miller Hemingway (1899-1961) a famous American novelist and the Nobel laureate (1954), left his indelible mark not only on American Literature but also influenced the whole literary landscape of world literature. He has been hailed as one of the most influential American writers of the ‘Lost Generation’ whose iceberg writing style exercised a great influence on twentieth century literature. Many of his oeuvres such as The Sun Also Rises, A Farewell to Arms, The old man and the Sea, For Whom the Bell Tolls, and The Garden of Eden are considered as the classics of literature. In fact, all his masterpieces speak of high standards of his art in which he created memorable stories of people, events, experiences and enduring actions. He passionately experienced and explored intense themes such as love, war, life, fear, trauma, violence, faith, courage and endurance in his works. Hemingway has a distinction of being a soldier-writer who both took part in world war-1 and wrote about it. The famous novel A Farewell to Arms (1929) is a first hand document of his war experiences that he felt and wrote about. The work is a testimony of war and its violence that seems to initiate a debate on the romanticism and reality of the war and its multifarious effects on individuals that destroy social, emotional, and psychological human order. The present paper sets out to explore the theme of war and violence in the novel from a Psycho-Social point of view in consonance with the contemporary issues that are still pertinent and relevant.

Published: March 2023

Denpasar City is the capital city of Bali which has a very high population. It can be seen that the population of Denpasar City is 726,599 people [1]. Sanglah intersection is a signalized intersection with three arms connecting Jalan Raya Sesetan, Jalan Pulau Buton, and Jalan Raya Diponegoro. The environmental condition at the intersection is a commercial area that is marked by the presence of shops around the Sanglah intersection. Therefore, it is often delayed because the volume of vehicles passing through the intersection is quite dense, so the performance of the intersection is less than optimal. So it is necessary to analyze the performance of the intersection using the 1997 Indonesian Road Capacity Manual Method. From the data collection and processing results using the 1997 Indonesian Road Capacity Manual Method, the traffic volume on Jl. Raya Sesetan is 1304.7 smp/hour, Jl. Raya Diponegoro is 1204 smp/hour, Jl. Buton Island is 628.5 smp/hour. The capacity is 1354 smp/hour, 1250 smp/hour, 652 smp/hour. Degree of saturation 0.96, signal time 151 seconds, queue length 145 m, 131 m, 171 m, delay 81.65 sec/smp, 123.98 sec/smp, 133.58 sec/smp. Based on the analysis that has been done, the degree of saturation at the intersection is 0.96, exceeding the standard value of the degree of saturation according to the 1997 Indonesian Road Capacity Manual method, which is 0.85. To overcome this, one alternative design is a green time design for each approach, specifically the south and west approaches. This alternative will improve the performance of the intersection.

With the rapid development of Central China, the temperature in this region is continuously increasing. Extreme weather events (e.g., high-temperature weather for many consecutive days) are becoming frequent. In order to provide future theoretical guidance on the direction of local development and the prevention of extreme natural disasters, the daily datasets of 12 meteorological stations in three provinces were collected. The corresponding predictors from 25 large-scale climatic factors were then screened using stepwise regression. A stepwise regression and statistical downscaling (SRSD) approach was developed to establish the statistical relationship. The future temperature results were projected by the weather generator, and the probability of extreme weather occurrence was analyzed by extreme values. The results indicate that future temperature in Central China shows an increasing trend from 2036 to 2065 and 2066 to 2095, with the representative concentration pathway 4.5 (RCP4.5) scenario showing a greater increase in temperature than the representative concentration pathway 8.5 (RCP8.5) scenario. Hunan Province has the largest temperature increase, followed by Hubei Province and Henan Province. The average annual duration of heat waves in Central China is 74.7 days.

Published: March 2023

In our previous work, a microbial consortium GF-20 (Qinggeer et al., 2016) was enriched from compost habitats and adapted to efficiently and stably degrade corn stover under low temperatures. While the main microorganism and degradation-related functions and degradation-related coding enzyme genes of GF-20 were not clear. Therefore, the current study used the metagenomic to decipher the systematic and functional contexts within such microbial consortium under low temperatures. The results showed that the dominant functional microbials in GF-20 consortium were bacteria. The dominant phylums in GF-20 consortium were Proteobacteria (62.84%) and Bacteroidetes (10.24%). The dominant genus was Pseudomonas (50.84%), followed by Dysgonomonas (5.86%), Achromobacter (4.94%), Stenotrophomonas (3.67%) and Flavobacterium (2.04%). The metabolism was mainly composed of carbohydrate metabolism and amino acid metabolism, and included signal transduction, cell transport and other metabolic modes. The functional genes encoded were mainly distributed in glycosidolytic enzyme genes, and the functional enzymes were β-glucosidase, acetyl-CoA, pyruvate dehydrogenase and galactosidase. The GF-20 microbial consortium degraded the cellulose in corn stover primarily by β-glucosidase and endoglucanase, which were produced by 12 genera of microorganisms. The hemicellulose synergistic effect was produced by 15 genera of microorganisms including xylanase, xyloglucanase, mannolanase and branching enzyme.
A new species of Tasmanian mountain shrimp, Anaspides driesseni sp. nov. (Malacostraca, Anaspidacea, Anaspidesidae)
Authors: Höpel Christoph G. , Richter Stefan , Ahyong Shane T.
Published: March 2023

Species of the genus Anaspides, known as mountain shrimps, are endemic to Tasmania and inhabit a variety of freshwater habitats such as mountain tarns, pools, creeks and runnels, as well as caves. Until 2015 only two species of Tasmanian mountain shrimps were recognized, A. tasmaniae (Thomson, 1893), which was believed to be widespread all over the island and A. spinulae from Lake St. Clair. Revision of the genus by Ahyong in 2016 recognized 7 species, most having narrow geographic distributions. Only two widespread species remained: A. richardsoni, occurring mainly on the Central Plateau and its margins, and A. swaini, occurring largely in south-western Tasmania. Notably, within A. swaini, three geographically correlated morphological forms were observed. We re-evaluated all three forms of A. swaini and herein describe one of the forms as a new species, A. driesseni, on the basis of morphological and molecular data. Anaspides driesseni corresponds to A. swaini form 3 and occurs mainly in south-eastern Tasmania from the Hartz Mountains over the Snowy Mountains to the Wellington Range. Telson structure, spination and male secondary sexual characters proved taxonomically instrumental.

Published: March 2023

We describe the wiring technique and evaluate the radiographic and clinical outcomes of treatment with a pin and wire system (PWS) for comminuted patella fractures. From June 2013 to October 2018, 33 patients with comminuted patella fractures were treated using a PWS. Open reduction and internal fixation was performed with multiple pins and a wire. All patients were allowed full weight bearing without a brace. Radiographs were obtained to evaluate bone union, implant breakage, back-out of pins, and intra-articular gaps and step-off. Clinical outcomes and postoperative complications were assessed at final follow-up examination. All fractures were united. Thirteen cable wires in 13 patients were partially broken without displacement of fracture at an average of 7.4 months (range, 1–19 months) postoperatively. The average preoperative, postoperative, and final follow-up intra-articular gap and step-off were 11.7 mm, 0.5 mm, and 0.03 mm and 6.6 mm, 0.4 mm, and 0.2 mm, respectively. The average postoperative pin displacement was 0.1 mm (range, 0–0.8 mm). Deep infection was not observed after the surgery. The implant removal rate was 21% (7 of 33). Among these, the symptomatic implant removal rate was 9% (3 of 33). Additionally, 3 of 7 patients with implant removal had broken wires. The average flexion and extension of knee joints were 139.7° (range, 120°–150°) and −0.9° (range, −10° to 0°), respectively. A PWS prevents back-out of the pins and reduces intra-articular gaps and step-off distances to acceptable levels, even if the cable wire is partially broken. Therefore, a PWS is a good treatment option for comminuted patella fractures. [

The burden of cardiovascular disease (CVD) has been on the rise in developing countries like Nigeria recently. Studies on perceived CVD risk and the risk status of adults in Ibadan are not readily available, hence this study. A mixed-method design involving a cross-sectional survey and an exploratory qualitative study was utilized. Convenience sampling was used to recruit 418 participants (209 from rural and 209 from urban) for the cross-sectional survey, while purposive sampling was used to recruit 14 participants for the qualitative aspect. The INTERHEART risk score and the Perception of Risk of Heart Disease Scale were used to investigate participants' CVD risk status and perceived risk, respectively. The data from the cross-sectional survey were summarized by using descriptive statistics, and the data were then analyzed by using the chi-square test of association and a multiple logistic regression model, while content thematic analysis was used to analyze the qualitative data. In the rural and urban areas, respectively, 39.7% and 52.2% had a positive perception of CVD risk. In the rural and urban areas, 44% and 41.6% of individuals respectively had moderate-to-high risk of CVD. Participants with at least secondary school education [2.66 (0.61–11.53)] and participants in the urban area [2.62 (0.78–7.08)] had twice higher odds of positive CVD risk perception. Males [3.91 (1.58–9.68)], adults aged 40 and above [1.59 (0.63–4.00)] and urban dwellers [1.21 (0.33–4.39)] had higher odds of a high CVD risk status. The qualitative aspect of the study corroborated the findings from the survey, as many participants did not perceive themselves as being at risk of CVD. The majority of the participants in this study were found to have a moderate-to-high risk of CVD, and many had a negative perception of their risk. Health education and CVD prevention programs are required to curb the burden of CVD.

The 4th industrial revolution (4IR) is transforming the traditional modes of systems delivery to be more effective and efficient. This is leveraged from the application of advanced technological methods which are attributed to sophisticated computational capabilities such as Cyber-Physical Systems (CPSs). For facilities management (FM), the business environment features of any organisation play a vital role in attaining its objectives which is a core mandate in delivering the functions of FM. Hence, it is important to assess the business environment factors influencing the use of CPS in the delivery of FM functions. This study was conducted in Gauteng province in South Africa with the use of a structured questionnaire administered to built environment professionals. Collected data were analysed in five stages which include data reliability and validity, descriptive statistics, establishing a difference in groups’ opinion, principal component analysis, and model testing and fit statistics. Findings from the analysis revealed that business environment features were statistically significant in the actualisation of the use of CPS for FM. Conclusively, the findings from the study make both theoretical and practical contributions to the body of knowledge by providing insights that can help equip organisations with the knowledge of business environment factors that are influential in the use of CPS for FM.
EVALUATING PROPERTY VALUE IMPACT FROM WATER-RELATED ‘GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE’: A HEDONIC MODELING APPROACH

Over the past several decades, the rapid growth of Southwestern United States desert cities is creating significant climate and water scarcity challenges. City planners are using green infrastructure to mitigate these challenges and develop more livable, sustainable, and resilient communities. This study uses hedonic pricing modeling (HPM) to evaluate how constructed wastewater wetlands impact home values integrated into the project design. It compares Crystal Gardens in Avondale, AZ, consisting of 14 engineered wastewater filtering ponds, to nearby neighborhoods with desert landscaping. HPM revealed higher values for Crystal Gardens homes overall (7%) and significant increases for homes on the ponds (14%). Results demonstrate the economic value of integrating water-related infrastructure in desert cities for home sales. For a more accurate benefit assessment, additional research is needed on how the ecosystem services provided by these constructed wetlands contribute to greater property values.
HOUSING DIFFERENCES, CREDIT CONSTRAINTS, AND HOUSEHOLD ENERGY CONSUMPTION: AN EMPIRICAL STUDY FROM HOUSEHOLD TRACKING SURVEY DATA IN CHINA

Although many studies have shown that housing wealth impacts household consumption behavior patterns, they have not incorporated housing characteristics into their research framework. Against the background of China’s reformed housing system, this study therefore constructs a theoretical framework of housing differences, credit constraints, and household energy consumption by adopting sample data from China Family Panel Studies (CFPS) of 7064 households in 25 provinces, municipalities, and autonomous regions in China. Multiple regression methodology is used based on the emission peak and carbon neutrality goal proposed by the Chinese government in 2021. The results show that housing differences significantly impact household energy consumption; housing assets have a significant wealth effect on household energy consumption; energy consumption of house owners increases due to the appreciation of their housing; and that the housing proportion of a household’s gross assets has a significant negative impact on household energy consumption. Furthermore, based on spatial distribution, it is found that the energy consumption level of households with housing properties in the developed regions of central and eastern China is significantly higher than that in the western regions. The study provides empirical evidence for China to build a linkage mechanism between energy policy and real estate policy and provides empirical support for the implementation of differentiated policies of energy consumption.
Uma peça em um tabuleiro: um infante na expansão quatrocentista
Authors: França Susani Silveira Lemos
Published: March 2023

A proposta do texto é refletir sobre uma personagem, o Infante D. Henrique de Portugal, cuja ação foi aceita, ao longo de séculos, como decisiva no processo de expansão externa europeia. A despeito de alguns juízos contraditórios e depreciativos, os traços da sua imagem que chegaram até nós são predominantemente favoráveis e mostram-se um campo fértil para cogitarmos sobre os motivos alegados, nos reinos ibéricos do século XV, em defesa do combate e da conversão em terras alheias, ou melhor, para se conjecturar sobre o que era entendido como bom, certo e necessário. Retomando fontes que foram fundamentais na difusão de ideias e ideais expansionistas, a começar por célebres autores portugueses posteriores que garantiram a fortuna da imagem do Infante, o estudo, sem qualquer pretensão de defender que suas virtudes pessoais reiteradas nas fontes atestem seu desempenho histórico, examina particularmente as ações deliberadas descritas nas narrativas quatrocentistas, suas escolhas infelizes e os acasos que favoreceram seu destaque em um processo histórico que foi para muito além da sua vida. O objetivo do estudo é esmiuçar as qualidades e as ações que traduzem uma partilha de valores que favoreceram o relevo do Infante ou sua elevação sobre os irmãos, tanto pelos feitos que lhes foram atribuídos quanto pela combinação de eventos posteriores que levaram à distinção de uns conquistadores em relação a outros.
Casamento e compadrio na casa-grande e na senzala: a família e a escravaria do Capitão Antônio Ferreira Leitão (Porto Alegre – finais do século XVIII a meados do XIX)
Authors: Scott Ana Silvia Volpi , Scott Dario
Published: March 2023

A partir do cruzamento de fontes e dos seguimentos nominativos, este artigo estuda o casamento e o compadrio em localidade situada na antiga capitania (depois província) do Rio Grande de São Pedro. Analisamos a família do Capitão Antônio Ferreira Leitão, que ocupou lugar de destaque na hierarquia social de Porto Alegre e foi proprietário de numerosa escravaria. A família foi escolhida como foco da análise não apenas por representar uma das mais ricas da localidade, mas também porque os escra-vizados pertencentes à família Ferreira Leitão, no intervalo temporal analisado, tiveram acesso diferenciado ao matrimônio sacramentado na igreja e o capitão foi o proprietário do maior número de crianças escravizadas legítimas batizadas na Matriz de Porto Alegre (entre finais do século XVIII e primeira década do XIX). Essa constatação foi o mote para acompanhar a trajetória familiar do Capitão Ferreira Leitão e seus filhos, entre as décadas de 1780 e meados do século XIX, refletindo sobre suas opções em relação ao casamento e ao compadrio, assim como aquelas que foram identificadas para os escravizados que pertenciam às senzalas de seu grupo familiar. Os dados relativos à escravaria de Antônio Ferreira Leitão confirmam a hipótese de que havia uma política de permitir o casamento, manter a estabilidade e a convivência da família cativa, estimulando a reprodução dos escravizados.
Na guerra e na paz: a saga de Elisa Branco – mulher e comunista (1950-1951)
Authors: Ferreira Jorge
Published: March 2023

No desfile militar do Dia da Independência de 1950, na cidade de São Paulo, a militante comunista Elisa Branco Batista protestou contra a possibilidade de envio de soldados brasileiros para lutar na Guerra da Coreia. Ela foi presa e condenada. Recorrendo aos jornais Diário da Noite, Imprensa Popular, Voz Operária e ao Acervo do DEOPS, sob guarda do Arquivo Público do Estado de São Paulo, o objetivo do artigo é conhecer período importante da vida de Elisa Branco Batista, no contexto da linha política estabelecida pelo Partido Comunista do Brasil (PCB) no “Manifesto de Agosto de 1950” e da atuação dos comunistas brasileiros nas campanhas pela paz, no início daquela década. O PCB, por meio de sua imprensa, elaborou narrativas sobre Elisa que enfatizavam sua coragem, heroísmo e ousadia. Ao mesmo tempo, os jornais comunistas reproduziam normas, padrões e convenções tradicionais sobre a existência feminina na sociedade brasileira. A imagem que surgia de Elisa era a da militante comunista que deveria servir de exemplo para todos os membros do partido, as mulheres em particular, atuando como mãe, esposa e dona de casa no espaço privado e militando em movimentos políticos e sociais no espaço público. Apesar de seu nome ser muito conhecido entre a militância comunista na  primeira metade dos anos 1950, Elisa Branco, posteriormente, tornou-se ausente na memória dos militantes e na historiografia sobre o Partido Comunista Brasileiro.
A criação de dioceses no Brasil entre 1808 e 1840: debates acerca do direito do padroado e das relações do Brasil com a Santa Sé
Authors: Marin Jérri Roberto
Published: March 2023

Este artigo analisa os projetos de criação de dioceses e prelazias no Brasil desde a transferência da Corte, em 1808, até o final do período regencial, em 1840. Esse contexto histórico foi turbulento e de grandes transformações políticas, econômicas e sociais. Busco contribuir para o debate em torno desse tema aportando à análise um conjunto de fontes diversificadas, que permitem compreender a construção do Estado Nacional, quando o Brasil procurou fortalecer sua soberania frente à Santa Sé e sobrepor o poder temporal ao espiritual. O único avanço foi a supressão das prelazias de Goiás e Mato Grosso e sua elevação à condição de dioceses. A expansão institucional esbarrou no regalismo, nas crises econômicas e políticas e nas prerrogativas do direito do padroado.
