Published: September 2021

Climate change has direct effects on the availability and quality of water for human consumption. In order to propose actions aimed at reducing vulnerability caused by water shortages and risk management required due to extreme events, real knowledge of the communitỳs perception is vital. This study developed in the department of Caldas, in the Colombian Andean region, analysed the perception of the incidence of climate change particularly related to water resources. To achieve this, a survey was used with various actors based on the first National Survey of Public Perception of Climate Change. The results show that the respondents perceive that the availability and quality of water are indeed highly threatened by climate change. As actions for adaptation, they suggested the promotion of the protection of hydrographic basins and a greater control of dumping liquids into surface water sources. Finally, they requested increased opportunities to improve water governance and participation in decision-making bodies regarding climate change, which they see as a fundamental aspect to achieve a real climate empowerment that can lead to action and adaptation in the territories in emerging countries.
Electro-oxidation of fish meal industry wastewater in a stirred batch reactor using a Ti/RuO2 anode
Authors: Meganathan Raju , Varadarajan Rajagopalan
Published: September 2021

Fish meal is used as feed for fish, dogs and cats, and in the pharmaceutical industry. Direct electro-oxidation has been used to treat fish meal industry effluent and organic pollutant removal, and was studied in this project. The anode used was titanium coated with ruthenium oxide and the cathode was stainless steel. In addition to organic pollutants, color removal was also studied. The varying parameter was current density, and those used were 10, 20, 27, and 34 mA/cm2. The effects of mechanical agitation and the inter-electrode distance on pollutant removal were also studied. The highest TOC and color removal (both 82%) were achieved at 34 mA/cm2, using mechanical agitation with 1.5 cm electrode spacing. Without agitation, TOC removal efficiency was 72%. The results show that electro-oxidation can be an effective secondary treatment for fish meal industry effluent.
Spółka komandytowa jako podatnik CIT
Authors: Wójcicka Aleksandra
Published: September 2021

Celem artykułu jest analiza nowelizacji ustawy o podatku dochodowym od osób prawnych i włączenia do zakresu przedmiotowego tej ustawy spółek komandytowych. Jest to niewątpliwie duża reforma w funkcjonowaniu tego typu spółek osobowych. Wiąże się ze swoistym podwójnym opodatkowaniem, ponieważ następuje ono najpierw na poziomie spółki, a następnie, na poziomie wspólników. Ustawodawca kierował się chęcią optymalizacji podatkowej i uszczelnieniem systemu podatkowego, co w przypadku spółek komandytowych wydaje się powodem wątpliwym. Spółki komandytowe wybierane są bowiem najczęściej do prowadzenia tzw. biznesów rodzinnych. Konieczność dostosowywania modeli rozliczeń do nowych przepisów wiąże się z dodatkowymi kosztami dla przedsiębiorców, co może zniechęcać do prowadzenia działalności gospodarczej w ramach tego typu spółki. Czas pokaże, czy powody, którymi kierował się legislator były słuszne i czy poprawiły warunki prowadzenia biznesu w Polsce.
Main faults of the Betic Cordillera
Authors: Sanz de Galdeano Carlos
Published: September 2021

In the Betic Cordillera the faults correspond to thrusts forming tectonic units and to three important sets of vertical or quasi-vertical faults. In the Internal Zone the thrusts formed mainly during the Oligocene, under an approximately N-S compression. Later, in the Burdigalian, the Internal Zone collided with the External Zone, which underwent major deformations. Then N60ºE-S60ºW to E-W dextral strike-slip faults formed. These faults formed under nearly E-W compression. From the end of the middle Miocene, the near N-S compression was reestablished and then formed two conjugated sets of faults whose directions are: NNE-SSW (with sinistral character) and NNW-SSE to NW-SE (with dextral character). Not only are the aforementioned major faults, but the rocks also have many other small faults and joints that formed under the same stresses.
Characterization of joint roughness using spectral frequencies and photogrammetric techniques
Authors: García-Luna Ramiro , Senent Salvador , Jimenez Rafael
Published: September 2021

In this study we propose a novel methodology to characterize the roughness of rock joints using photogrammetry techniques and frequency analyses. The process starts with the generation of a 3D model (a dense point cloud) using the Structure from Motion (SfM) technology. Joint profiles are then extracted from this model and their frequency spectra are obtained using the Fast Fourier Transform. Finally, several approaches to parametrize the amplitude-frequency relationships are proposed, so that the roughness of the joint profiles are characterized with the fitting parameters. The methodology can differentiate between waviness and roughness, so that it could be used in future analysis of the shear behaviour of joints affected by this distinction. The proposed methodology is applied to two samples of granite representative of an unweathered fresh-cut surface with natural roughness. The results from the parametrization of the frequency spectra are used to carry out a classification analysis to study if their best-fitting parameters can estimate the Joint Roughness Coefficient (JRC) adequately. Results show that JRC values estimated with the spectral information tend to be quite similar (with errors less or equal to ±2 in about 80% of cases) to those estimated using the Ζ 2 statistical parameter, therefore validating the use of frequency spectra to characterize the roughness of rock joints.
A geological and biostratigraphic study of the Paleozoic of the Malaguide Complex in the Cogollos Vega Zone (Granada) using conodonts
Authors: Cabrera-Porras Ángela , Rodríguez-Cañero Rosario , Martín-Algarra Agustín
Published: September 2021

A detailed geological characterization of the Malaguide Complex in the Cogollos Vega Zone has been made by integrating geological mapping, lithostratigraphy and structural analysis with conodont studies. The Falcoña Formation constitutes an important guide-horizon to correlate different stratigraphic sections and to distinguish pre-Falcoña and post-Falcoña successions with slightly different facies and different ages: the first one is Devonian (Emsian, Frasnian and Famennian) and the second one Carboniferous (upper Visean-lower Serpukhovian). The Alpine structure of the area is determined by the presence of backthrusts associated with south-vergent folds that repeat the general stratigraphy and divide the Malaguide Complex into three tectonic units. These structures are systematically cut by (mainly NW-SE oriented) normal and dextral strike-slip faults. Preliminary Colour Alteration Index (CAI) and micro-textural studies of conodontal elements have revealed interesting differences between the tectonic units present in the area, which should be the subject of a more detailed study.
The Impact of Vaccination Worldwide on SARS-CoV-2 Infection: A
Review on Vaccine Mechanisms, Results of Clinical Trials, Vaccinal
Coverage and Interactions with Novel Variants
Authors: Damasceno Douglas Henrique Pereira , Amaral Arthur Aguiar , Silva Cecília Andrade , Simões e Silva Ana Cristina
Published: September 2021

Background:

The COVID-19 pandemic demanded a global effort towards
quickly developing safe and effective vaccines against SARS-CoV-2.

Objective:

This review aimed to discuss the main vaccines available, their mechanisms of
action, results of clinical trials, and epidemiological behavior. The implications of viral
variants were also debated.

Methods:

A non-systematic literature review was performed between February and
March 2021 by searching the Pubmed, Scopus, and SciELO databases, using different
combinations of the following terms: "vaccines", "clinical trials" , "SARS-CoV-2",
"Coronavirus", "COVID-19", "mechanisms of action". Data regarding clinical trials of
SARS-CoV-2 vaccines and epidemiological information were also searched.

Results:

The mechanisms of action included vector-virus, mRNA and inactivated virus
vaccines. The vaccines showed positive results in phases 2/3 clinical trials. The efficacy
of the mRNA 1273 and of mRNA BNT 162b2 vaccines were 94.1% and 95%, respectively.
The effectiveness of the ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 vaccine varied according to the scheme,
with an overall value of 70.4%. The Gam-COVID-Vac vaccine had an efficacy of 91.6%.
Regarding the Ad26.COV2.S vaccine, 99% or more of seroconversion was observed in all
subgroups 29 days after vaccination. The CoronaVac vaccine induced an immune response
in 92% of the volunteers receiving 3ug and in 98% with 6ug, in comparison to 3%
in the placebo group.

Conclusion:

Global efforts have resulted in vaccines being available in record time, with
good safety and immunogenicity profile. However, only long-term studies can provide
more information on the duration of immunity and the need for additional doses.
Boronate-Based Fluorescent Probes as a Prominent Tool for H2O2
Sensing and Recognition
Authors: Wang Ling , Hou Xuben , Fang Hao , Yang Xinying
Published: September 2021

Given the crucial association of hydrogen peroxide with a wide range of human
diseases, this compound has currently earned the reputation of being a popular biomolecular
target. Although various analytical methods have attracted our attention, fluorescent
probes have been used as prominent tools to determine H2O2 to reflect the physiological
and pathological conditions of biological systems. The sensitive responsive part
of these probes is the boronate ester and boronic acid groups, which are important reporters
for H2O2 recognition. In this review, we summarize boronate ester/boronic acid
group-based fluorescent probes for H2O2 reported from 2012 to 2020, and we have generally
classified the fluorophores into six categories to exhaustively elaborate the design
strategy and comprehensive systematic performance. We hope that this review will inspire
the exploration of new fluorescent probes based on boronate ester/boronic acid
groups for the detection of H2O2 and other relevant analytes.

Authors: Wang Liyan , Zhao Tingting , Wang Yunxiang , Hu Banglian , Tao Jianfei , Ke Jinshan , Wei Tingfei , Ge Guangbo , Meng Qiang , Wang Changyuan , Liu Qi , Sun Huijun , Wu Jingjing , Chen Yanwei
Published: September 2021

Background:

Imatinib, sunitinib, and gefitinib are the three most common tyrosine kinase inhibitors
(TKIs). However, their quantitative drug-drug interaction potentials In vivo and the relationship between their structure
and inhibitory activity remain unknown.

Objective:

This study aimed to investigate the potential drug-drug interaction risk of three TKIs based on CYP3A.

Methods:

6β-Hydroxylated testosterone formation was selected to probe the CYP3A activity in human liver microsomes.
A molecular docking simulation was performed to explore the potential structural alerts.

Results:

Imatinib exhibited the strongest inhibitory effect towards CYP3A, while the inhibitory potential of gefitinib
and sunitinib were comparable to each other but weaker than imatinib. IC50 shift assays demonstrated that the inhibitory
potential of all three TKIs was significantly increased after a 30-min preincubation with NADPH. The KI and
Kinact values of imatinib, sunitinib, and gefitinib were 3.75 μM and 0.055 min-1, 1.96 μM and 0.037 min-1, and 9.94
μM and 0.031 min-1, respectively. IVIVE results showed that there was a 1.3- to 43.1-fold increase in the AUC of
CYP3A-metabolizing drugs in the presence of the TKIs.

Conclusion:

All three TKIs exhibited a typical irreversible inhibitory effect towards CYP3A. The presence of more N-heterocycles and the resulting better binding confirmation of imatinib may have been responsible for its stronger inhibitory effect than sunitinib and gefitinib. Therefore, caution should be taken when CYP3A-metabolizing drugs are co-administrated with imatinib, sunitinib, or gefitinib.

Authors: Pavitrakar Vishal , Mody Rustom , Ravindran Selvan
Published: September 2021

Background:

One of the most commonly used anti-cancer agents, Cisplatin (CDDP) often causes nephrotoxicity by eliciting inflammation and oxidative stress. Golimumab, an anti-TNF biologic, is prescribed for the management of numerous inflammatory ailments like psoriatic and rheumatoid arthritis, ulcerative colitis and ankylosing spondylitis.

Objective:

Current study has explored the effects of anti-TNF biologics golimumab on mice due to cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity.

Method:

Renal toxicity was caused by administration of single cisplatin injection at 22 mg/kg by intraperitoneal (i/p) route. Golimumab (24 mg/kg, s.c.) was administered consecutively for 7 days. The parameters such as renal functions, oxidative stress, inflammation, and renal damage were evaluated on the 7th day of experiments.

Results:

Cisplatin administration caused nephrotoxicity as shown by a significant elevation of various parameters viz; serum creatinine, neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), urea nitrogen (BUN), and cystatin C. There was a significant rise in urinary clusterin, kidney injury molecule 1 (KIM-1), and β-N-acetylglucosaminidase (NAG) concentrations in the animals treated with cisplatin. The markers of oxidative stress (malondialdehyde, reduced glutathione, and catalase), inflammation (IL-6, TNF-α, IL-10, IL-1β, MCP-1, ICAM-1, and TGF-β1), and apoptosis (caspase-3) were also altered in serum and/or kidneys of cisplatin animals. Further, cisplatin-caused histopathological changes in proximal tubular cells as observed in the H&E staining of renal tissue. Golimumab treatment reduced all markers of kidney injury and attenuated cell death. Golimumab significantly reduced inflammatory cytokines TNFα, IL- 6, MCP-1, IL- 1β, ICAM-1, and TGF-β1 and increased anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10 in cisplatin-intoxicated mice.

Conclusion:

The study’s results suggest that golimumab prevented nephrotoxicity induced by cisplatin- through inhibition of oxidative stress, apoptotic cell death inflammatory response, thus improving renal function.

Published: September 2021

Prijevremeno rođeno novorođenče (nedonošče) tek je porođeno dijete koje je nošeno kraće od punih 37 tjedana trudnoće, odnosno kraće od 259 dana, računajući od prvog dana posljednje menstruacije majke. Patofiziološke osobitosti prijevremeno rođenog novorođenčeta najvećim su dijelom odraz funkcijske nezrelosti organa i organskih sustava, koja stvara poteškoće u prilagodbi na izvanmaternični život. Komplikacije prematuriteta mogu biti uzrokovane samim prijevremenim porodom, nezrelošću organskih sustava i primjenom potrebne terapije, a rizik za njihov nastanak povećava se sa smanjenjem gestacijske dobi i porođajne mase. Dijelimo ih na kratkoročne i dugoročne. Od kratkoročnih komplikacija najizraženije i najčešće su respiratorni distres sindrom, bronhopulmonalna displazija, perzistirajući arterijski duktus, intraventrikularno krvarenje, periventrikularna leukomalacija, nekrotizirajući enterokolitis, poteškoće hranjenja, prematurna retinopatija i infekcije. Iz skupine dugoročnih komplikacija ističu se poremećaj rasta i razvoja (neurorazvojna odstupanja i kronične bolesti) te poteškoće u psihosocijalnom i emocionalnom funkcioniranju.

BACKGROUND

Previous studies have shown that COVID-19 increased the prevalence of depression and anxiety among various populations. However, few have explored the mental health issues of Chinese international students in the US and the risk factors involved.

OBJECTIVE

his study examines the prevalence of anxiety and depression among Chinese international students enrolled in US universities during the COVID-19 pandemic and identifies the risk factors pertaining to changes in lifestyle, social support, sleep quality, and the virtual instruction mode to this student population.

METHODS

This study was conducted via an online cross-sectional questionnaire distributed through snowball sampling. The questions of the survey included demographic information, self-constructed questions on academic performance, financial concerns, use of social media, exercise, and psychological support, the Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS), the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI), the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 for depression (PHQ-9), and the General Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7) for anxiety. Univariate analyses and multivariate logistic regression analysis were performed to identify the associated risk factors.

RESULTS

From the 1881 participants, this study found a general prevalence of depression (PHQ-9 score⩾ 5) at 48.6% and that of anxiety (GAD-7⩾ 5) at 43.0% among Chinese international students in the US during the late COVID pandemic period. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that recent traumatic event(s), having friend(s) as tuition source(s), agreeing with and strongly agreeing with the pandemic’s impacts on financial status, a little workload, medium workload, a lot of workload, and higher ISI scores to be a associated with an increased risk of depression, while being a PhD student, more sources of emotional support, and higher SSRI scores were associated a lower risk of depression. Additionally, having friend(s) as tuition source(s), a little workload, often staying up for online courses, strongly agreeing with remote learning’s negative impacts on personal relationships, and higher ISI scores were associated with an increased risk of anxiety, while higher SSRI scores and older ages were associated with a lower risk of anxiety.

CONCLUSIONS

This study showed a high prevalence of depression and anxiety among Chinese international students in the US. Multiple risk factors pertaining to financial concerns, workload, social support, and sleep quality were identified. It is important for future studies to further investigate this student population and for schools to make adjustments to better accommodate their psychological needs.

Movilizaciones sociales de un cambio de época. El movimiento de los Chalecos Amarillos en Francia
Authors: Núñez Cruz Maribel
Published: September 2021

Las teorías de los movimientos sociales enfrentan hoy el reto de explicar una nueva modalidad de configuración, que rompe tanto con las lógicas de las sociedades industriales como con los llamados “nuevos movimientos sociales”. El caso de los Chalecos Amarillos en Francia se inscribe en los llamados movimientos en red por su uso intensivo de las redes sociales. Se caracterizan también por su distancia de actores políticos tradicionales como partidos y sindicatos. Otra de sus peculiaridades es la de no admitir o no edificar liderazgos reconocidos por sus participantes. Asimismo, no es raro que estas movilizaciones convoquen al mismo tiempo a personas cuyas ideas pueden identificarse con la extrema derecha o la extrema izquierda o con ninguna de éstas, por lo que algunos las califican de “posideológicos”. Estos movimientos en red suelen alejarse de un estilo de movilización que se considera “políticamente correcta” y, en ocasiones, justifican el uso de la violencia. Sus demandas suelen considerarse imprecisas y hasta contradictorias, pero constituyen movimientos que contribuyen al empoderamiento de sectores precarizados y marginados de las decisiones políticas y económicas y, al cuestionamiento de la hegemonía cultural de las clases superiores. El objetivo de este artículo es mirar el caso de los Chalecos Amarillos a la luz de estas nuevas formas de expresión de protesta social.

Abstract: Encryption Algorithms are necessary part of the data sharing today as every bit of data need encryption so that it could be transferred from one place to another without the fear of data leaking. Every lost bit of data puts the system to danger. Encryption algorithms compose of necessary steps involving a key that helps converting plain text to cipher text. All the steps must be performed carefully to ensure that the data encrypted is found back. Thus, many algorithms are made to run sequentially and in serial. This makes the algorithm to take much computation time. Keywords: Parallelize, encryption algorithms, multi-threading.
Particulate Matter Management Plan for Prayagraj City Based Upon Emissions
Authors: Sharma Anmol
Published: September 2021

Abstract: Air Pollution has become one of the significant factors behind the increase in world-wide mortality rate. There are several reasons behind this increased rate such as rapid growth of industrialization, vehicular pollution accompanied by increase in urbanisation and burning of fossil fuels. This paper presents the proper management and mitigation plan (action plan) of air pollution scenario for the city Prayagraj based upon emissions. Some major air pollutants under consideration in the city of Prayagraj are Particulate Matter (PM10) and particulate matter (PM2.5). There are several prominent sources within and outside prayagraj contributing to PM10 and PM2.5 ambient air; these pollutants can be taken as surrogate of other pollutants also, as most of the pollutants coexist and have common sources. Several major sources of pollution in the city have been noted such as from Domestic, Vehicular Pollution, Road dust, Municipal solid waste (MSW) and Brick kiln. Based upon emissions calculated from these major sources a proper mitigation and management plan has been prepared for the city. Keywords: Air pollution, Particulate Matter, Prayagraj city, Action Plan, Emissions.

Published: September 2021

The aim of this study was to analyze national and state of Minas Gerais public policies aimed at Science, Technology and Innovation (CT&I), as well as their impacts on the generation of patents. For this, a qualitative, descriptive and longitudinal research was carried out, covering the period from 2000 to 2018. The results show that Brazil needs to improve its position in the ranking of the Global Innovation Index; national expenditures are below the target set in the National Science and Technology Strategy; business expenditures represent a smaller share of investments made; there is an expressive participation of States in the provision of public resources for ST&I, although it does not occur equally. The state of Minas Gerais gradually increased investment in the area over the period analyzed, standing out in relation to the others with regard to spending on R&D and filing of patents with the INPI.

Aim/purpose – The aim of this paper is to present a strategy that allows companies to recover from disasters, when creating a supply chain. Furthermore, it also shows the impact on the company’s resources that are used in the implementation of the strategy in case of small and big disasters. Thanks to the proposed solution, it is possible to analyze each company individually, as well as in groups, at any given time. Design/methodology/approach – The results were obtained based on a numerical anal- ysis which was performed with the use of MATLAB software. The tests were carried out separately for five companies, as each of them may expect a disaster on any different day. However, the selection of the day when crises occur is carried out in accordance with the probability determined by scientific research. Findings – The research showed that companies using their resources can continue to fulfill their functions as a link in the Supply Chain despite the fact that they react differ- ently to small disasters compared to big ones. This difference occurs since small disas- ters in contrast to big ones appear in every company much more often. Consequently, it is more difficult for companies to build their wealth in the case of small disasters. The advantage of the proposed approach is that one can freely test which strategy can cause the least losses for the company as well as for the entire supply chain. Research implications/limitations – The analysis carried out shows that companies wishing to develop in conditions of unexpected disasters, that cannot be predicted, should regularly increase their assets because they are needed to implement a strategy that allows them to maintain an appropriate operational level. This approach provides tools that enable the selection of strategies with variable parameters, freely determined during the scientific research. Originality/value/contribution – The paper presents a graphical analysis of the change in the value of resources of a supply chain company over one year period. Such an anal- ysis may be useful for any company that creates a supply chain during the COVID-19 crisis period, which is an unpredictable disaster. The adoption of a Gaussian Pseudo Random Number Generator turned out to be useful as it creates crises days while simula- tion studies allow us to generate experiments for different data configurations. This pa- per provides an analysis of small and large disasters separately, which is an approach not presented in the literature. Keywords: supply chain, disaster, strategy, threats, simulations.

Published: September 2021

The article is devoted to the actual specifically-historical aspects of Great Britain perception in Rus-sia. The aim of the article is to analyze the specifics of the first world industrial exhibition perception by Rus-sian contemporaries. The author of the article comes to the conclusion that holding the Exhibition of 1851 was a grandiose international propaganda of Britain’s success. The presented expositions demonstrated its economic, scientific and technical superiority to the world. It is also noted that the detailed coverage of this event by domestic sources consolidated the traditional industrial and scientific-technical image of Britain in public consciousness of Russians. Particular results of the research can be used in the process of studying historical and cultural disciplines, as well as for further scientific development of the stated issues.
dimensão econômica na política nacional de cultura:
Authors: Freitas Carolina Gonçalves de , Schiochet Valmor
Published: September 2021

O artigo apresenta uma análise da política nacional de cultura em articulação com a temática da Economia da Cultura e do Desenvolvimento. O texto busca demonstrar que a agenda de cultura política do governo ganha centralidade ao ser reconhecida como mercadoria,isto é, na sua relação como mercado, como produto a ser comercializado. Nessa condição, a política da cultura é legitimada como um importante instrumento económico e industrial para o desenvolvimento nacional. A dimensão econômica da cultura pode ser identificada a partir de diferentes conceitos e propostas para organizar ou definir, por exemplo, "indústrias criativas" ou "economia criativa". Tal concepção econômica confere cultura e adequação para transformar a própria forma instrumental de produção, troca e consumo de mercadorias. Valores como diversidade, pluralismo e identidade ficam relegados a segundo plano, pois dados à subordinação da cultura à lógica do mercado capitalista. No entanto, a partir de 2003 a política baseava-se no desafio de promover a nova concepção ampliada, isto é, um fenômeno social e humano de múltiplos sentidos. Uma cultura passou a ser entendida em sua tríplice dimensão: simbólica, urbana e econômica. Nesse contexto, a política da cultura se aproxima - como o debate do Desenvolvimento Social Sustentável e da Economia Solidária. Ou que pode ser verificado na análise de dois instrumentos de gestão pública, nas diretrizes de orientação do Plano Nacional de Cultura (Lei nº 12.343 / 2010) e na política nacional de Cultura Viva / Pontos de Cultura (Lei Cultura Viva 13.018 / 2014). Ambos os conceitos aparecem de forma conflituosa e contraditória para expressar a dimensão econômica da cultura e sua contribuição para o processo de desenvolvimento. A política da cultura aborda-se como um debate sobre Desenvolvimento Social Sustentável e Economia Solidária.

Identidad Marron e o Labirinto do Minotauro.
Authors: Pucarelli Michele , Filgueiras Mathias Roberta
Published: September 2021

Em um momento no qual tanto a pauta identitária quanto a intersseccionalidade são debatidos por várias ciências e em diversos espaços acadêmicos procuramos neste artigo apresentar um estudo de caso sobre a atuação do Colectivo Identidad Marron, que dialogue não somente com a precarização (constante em nosso continente), mas com possíveis saídas culturalmente inventivas e potentes. Formado em 2018 na cidade de Buenos Aires, o Identidad Marron é composto principalmente por mulheres em luta por uma inserção dos povos originários em melhores postos de trabalhos e por espaços de destaque em suas atividades artísticas. Pretendemos refletir se a cooptação e atuação delas no sistema de precarização não ressignificam sua inserção, conseguindo dar maior visibilidade as questões dos movimentos identitários na Argentina. Sendo parte de um contexto mais amplo de movimentos identitários, que norteiam o pensamento latino-americano e mundial, o Identidad Marron pode ser compreendido como exemplo de luta e resistência ao utilizarem as facilidades da globalização em seu benefício, ainda que tenham consciência das contundentes limitações impostas pelas agendas neoliberais econômicas das grandes cidades ocidentais. Dessa forma, entendemos que seus embates são como uma atualização do mito do labirinto do Minotauro. Embora permaneçam dentro do labirinto, o fazem em conjunto e sem deixar de lutar por espaços mais justos e igualitários. Desse modo, além de apresentar sua atuação, iremos trabalhar e refletir com dados que denunciam o aumento das desigualdades sociais nesses territórios ao mesmo tempo em que sugerimos que essas novas movimentações identitárias têm um forte traço de reativação dos movimentos políticos e sociais locais surgidos nas décadas anteriores e de uma afetividade advinda da rememoração de sua ancestralidade. Longe de olhar o passado como um lugar de chegada, são as atualizações desses processos que tornam mais significativos esses movimentos, liderados, em geral, por mulheres que são atravessadas por questões interseccionais.
Educador de exposições

Published: September 2021

Com o aumento das grandes exposições na segunda metade do século XX, o trabalho feito por educadores em equipamentos culturais cresceu como atividade que realiza a mediação cultural entre os bens culturais e seus públicos. Estudos recentes têm se debruçado sobre essa práxis educativa, contudo poucos têm discutido as relações de trabalho do educador de exposições. Esse artigo apresenta resultados de uma pesquisa que analisou as relações de trabalho oferecidas pelos equipamentos culturais da cidade de São Paulo. Como metodologia, foram entrevistados coordenadores de três tipos de contratantes: Instituições Privadas (IPs), Instituições Estatais geridas por Organizações Sociais (OSs) e Empresas de Terceirização (ETs) para examinar as formas de contratação oferecidas. Como resultado, verificou-se que, para além da precarização do trabalho, o educador de exposições se caracteriza como um trabalhador sem profissão, devido à ausência de reconhecimento profissional e às relações de trabalho disfarçadas.
