In GBS, the body`s immune system attacks the myelin sheath which surround the axon of many nerves and enable nerve impulses to travel quickly. It may lead to life threatening complication in particular if respiratory muscles are affected or if the autonomic nervous system is involved. Worldwide, the annual incidence is about 0.6- 4.0 occurrences per 1,00,000 people. Electromyography and nerve conduction studies can help confirm the diagnosis. Plasmapheresis or immunoglobulin given intravenously may speed recovery. GBS as such is not correlated with any disease which is described in Ayurveda but pathology of GBS is Vata dominating disorder along with association of Pitta and Kapha dosha. As a precipitating factor produced functions of GI biofire plays an important role by producing Ama like reactive species in genesis of this disease. So at the management of GBS through Ayurveda anti-Vata and anti-Ama measures kept in mind while prescribing the drug.

Published: December 2020

In Ayurveda it is necessary to reveal basic concepts, without which one cannot achieve good practice because many treatment approaches are hidden in basic concepts. In this aspect, Rasa, Guna, Veerya, Vipaka, Prabhava and Karma constitute basic concepts of Dravyaguna. Stambhana and Grahi comes under heading of karma, both do the same function of checking the excess flow but applicable in different conditions, having different mechanism of action. Grahi karma is different from Stambhana karma in performing Deepana and Pachana. Stambhana karma is applicable in excess flow of all the Srotas and Grahi karma is restricted to Purishavaha, Udakavaha, Annavaha srotas. Many drugs and formulations are explained in classics which perform Stambhana and Grahi action by their Rasadi Panchaka and Panchabhautik composition. Most of the Stambhana and Grahi drugs contain tannins, which help in ceasing excess flow of body fluids. Present article reveals the Stambhana, Grahi and Sangrahi karma along with its clinical applicability.

Authors: Bragat Milton Carlos
Published: December 2020

Os conceitos geopolíticos clássicos de autores como Mackinder, Ratzel e Mahan, entre outros, foram utilizados e reinterpretados por pensadores sul-americanos e também nortearam a orientação militar e influenciaram a política externa de várias nações da América do Sul. O objetivo deste artigo é, a partir de investigação bibliográfica, situar as diversas vocações geopolíticas dos países da América do Sul. Além de fazer uma breve genealogia e discussão sumária do pensamento geopolítico sul-americano na esfera acadêmica e político-militar, verificar em que medida essa perspectiva tem sido utilizada e tem influenciado diversos autores em suas interpretações sobre o continente, especialmente com relação a iniciativas de integração regional como a União Sul-Americana (UNASUL) e a cooperação em defesa no continente, expressa no Conselho de Defesa Sul-Americano (CDS) da Instituição.

Este artigo apresenta o tratamento dispensado pela política externa brasileira a normas que regulam intervenções internacionais durante o primeiro Governo Dilma Rousseff. O argumento contextualiza o tema no marco da evolução da política externa brasileira no século XXI e contrasta sua presença no discurso oficial com a crítica que se lhe faz. Conclui afirmando que o Brasil adota postura complexa com relação à proteção de civis durante conflitos armados. Exemplifica-se, com a proposta da Responsabilidade ao Proteger, o empenho do país em conciliar o apoio à possibilidade de a Organização das Nações Unidas - ONU autorizar o uso da força sem com isso reduzir a soberania nacional.
ESTUDOS ESTRATÉGICOS, CONTROLE CIVIL E IDENTIFICAÇÃO DO INIMIGO
Authors: Costa Frederico Carlos de Sá
Published: December 2020

Este trabalho expande e aprofunda a discussão iniciada em artigo anterior, A relação civil-militar e os Estudos Estratégicos, que afirma ser a relação civil-militar o objeto por excelência dos Estudos Estratégicos, por constituir o núcleo capaz de fornecer diretrizes de trabalho, bem como determinar critérios e métodos para pesquisa na área dos Estudos Estratégicos com poder explicativo, causal e generalizante. Assumindo-se que a operação do controle civil é o núcleo da relação civil-militar, e que as populações têm precedência sobre os Estados, discute-se a identificação civil do inimigo contra quem se quer desfrutar da sensação de segurança e como, na ausência de tal identificação, as necessidades de segurança do Estado acabam por sobrepujar as necessidades de segurança da população. O método perseguido é de natureza qualitativa e privilegia o cotejo de teorias relativas às relações políticas entre civis e militares. A conclusão indica que a ausência de controle civil coloca as populações numa posição subalterna em relação ao Estado na consecução de segurança.

Authors: Pereira Bruno Américo , Jasper Flavio Neri Hadmann
Published: December 2020

O presente artigo tem por objetivo verificar se as competências individuais de determinados pilotos de C-130 poderão influenciar a adaptação desses tripulantes durante a fase de instrução básica de voo na futura aeronave KC-390. Para identificar as competências já disponíveis nas Unidades Aéreas daquela aeronave, realizou-se uma análise das fichas de histórico operacional de um grupo formado por catorze pilotos que ingressaram no quadro de tripulantes entre os anos de 2013 e 2014. Em seguida, demonstrou-se a aplicabilidade do método Delphi relativa à definição das competências necessárias para voar o futuro avião com segurança, realizando três rodadas de questionários entre dez pilotos instrutores de C-130, considerados especialistas na operação da aeronave. Após as rodadas de discussão, os especialistas definiram uma relação contendo vinte e sete competências necessárias aos pilotos de KC-390, separadas nas áreas de conhecimentos, habilidades e atitudes. Dessa maneira, foi possível identificar nas fichas de histórico operacional que as ausências de cinco competências individuais poderiam influenciar negativamente, numa visão prospectiva, a adaptação de alguns pilotos. Assim, o resultado deste artigo pode ser utilizado para o aprimoramento do processo de treinamento dos novos pilotos, buscando reduzir a ocorrência de voos deficientes na fase de instrução básica.
De la Universidad basada en la Docencia a la Universidad basada en la Investigación

La independencia de una nación puede ser realmente
alcanzada, cuando logre el grado de desarrollo
científico-tecnológico que le permita producir, de
forma autónoma, al menos sus propios alimentos,
medicamentos, medios de comunicación y defensa.
Por ello, el mejor indicador de su soberanía es,
indudablemente, la calidad de sus universidades.
Los países clasificados como del tercer mundo, se
caracterizan por exportar materias primas, tener poco
o ningún grado de desarrollo científico-tecnológico,
mantener universidades masificadas, basadas en
una docencia destinada a formar profesionales,
simplemente sostenedores de una economía cuyo
aparato productivo depende de la importación de
ciencia y tecnología de segunda, propia de una industria
caracterizada por el ensamblaje. La Universidad del
tercer mundo hace investigación de forma coyuntural,
ya que la misma no es planificada, ni dirigida a
contribuir a la solución de los grandes problemas
nacionales. Al no haber planes de investigación serios,
forma Doctores que no investigan y que utilizan el título
solo con fines cosméticos. Para dar el salto al mundo
desarrollado, es necesario que las universidades del
tercer mundo den un viraje de 180 grados y basen su
esencia en la prevalencia del conocimiento, donde los
méritos en investigación y docencia sean los criterios
fundamentales en la escogencia de sus autoridades,
seleccionando a los investigadores-docentes más aptos
como líderes de una investigación planificada acorde
con las necesidades del entorno social, que mediante
un riguroso mecanismo de selección ingrese a los
bachilleres más capaces quienes desde sus estudios
de pregrado deben integrarse mediante sus tesis a
los planes de investigación. La Universidad basada
en la Investigación debe formar profesionales con
visión empresarial, creadores de riqueza mediante el
emprendimiento y no con mentalidad de asalariados;
debe en consecuencia egresar Doctores que se integren
a los planes de ciencia y tecnología de la nación. En
conclusión, solo podremos construir un país de primera
cuando tengamos universidades de primera y esto
ocurrirá cuando se tenga una clase política con la
suficiente visión para entender que el verdadero poder
está en el dominio de la ciencia emancipadora de la

Comprehensive education program for diabetes mellitus patients aimed at optimizing quality of life
Authors: Contreras Freddy
Published: December 2020

Epidemiological data show that Diabetes Mellitus
(DM) is becoming the epidemic of the 21st century.
Numerous studies indicate that good control of DM
requires a patient trained in knowledge related to the
clinical condition he presents. This work describes
a comprehensive education program for DM patients
optimizing their quality of life, under the ontological
assumption of the interpretation of thought, opinion,
experience, and reality perceived by the patient himself.
The study is framed in the interpretive paradigm under
the phenomenological current, with an emerging,
open, and flexible type design. The research was
carried out at the Centro Médico Docente Los Altos,
located in Miranda State, Venezuela, and key sources
were patients with DM whit more than five years of
evolution. An In-depth interview was used to collect
the information and the budgets of Strauss and Corbin’s
Continuous Comparative Method were followed in
its analysis. Our results indicate that five categories
emerged: Manifestations of diabetes status, Emotional
status, patient lifestyle, public health policies and
education in diabetes and quality of life, which allowed
designing a theoretical construct, in correspondence
with the phenomenon studied. In conclusion, constant
preparation through comprehensive education of DM
patients, based on the empowerment of knowledge,
skills, and self-management of their clinical condition
and emotions is essential to optimize the quality
of life.

society. At the global level, various nations and their
educational systems converge towards a cutting-edge
technological proposal, so that technology is coupled
in a pedagogical role within the teaching and learning
process. Objective: Relate the use of educational
technologies with an academic performance before
and during confinement by COVID-19 in the subject
of mathematics in elementary school students in the
Colombian Caribbean Region. Methods: The sample
consisted of 80 students, to whom the educational
technologies questionnaire used during confinement
was applied and the information on academic
performance was provided by the registration and
control office. The data analysis was carried out by
applying descriptive statistics, the data before and
during confinement was analyzed applying Student’s
T-test, and to establish the relationships between
the variables, use of educational technologies, and
academic performance, the Pearson correlation
analysis was performed. Results: A moderate
positive significant correlation was found between the
assessment that the participants assign to technology
and academic performance during confinement.
Conclusions: Moderate and slight negative statistically
significant correlations were found between student
academic performance and the hours of use, as well
as the tools for learning mathematics.
The labor market in Latin America at the time of the COVID-19 pandemic: impacts, responses and perspectives
Authors: Maurizio Roxana , Bertranou Fabio
Published: December 2020

Latin America is experiencing an unprecedented
crisis in its labor markets because of the COVID-19
pandemic. This is reflected in a drastic contraction
of employment, hours worked, and income. The
outlook is even more worrying when considering that
these impacts have been unequal and that the path
of recovery, which is slowly emerging in the region,
could be accompanied by a widening of labor and
income gaps across different population groups.
This crisis, therefore, would be exacerbating the high
levels of inequality that existed before the outbreak
of the pandemic, even though countries have made
significant efforts to rapidly implement a set of policies
aimed at sustaining employment and incomes. It is
crucial to strengthen the labor institutional framework,
particularly with regard to active labor market policies.
Likewise, occupational health and safety have become
a relevant element for any recovery strategies with
safe and healthy employment.
Policy responses to COVID-19 in Latin American countries: A universal basic income?
Authors: Moreno María
Published: December 2020

The wide socioeconomic impact of the COVID-19
pandemic in the world has led to several political
initiatives to minimize it, both in developed and
developing countries. One that has gained some
notoriety is the idea of transferring cash to citizens
with a broader scope in terms of universality and
inclusiveness - or a Universal Basic Income (UBI) -
than what these types of programs have typically had
in the past. This article describes the implications that
adopting a UBI policy could have in Latin American
countries (LAC), based both on the UBI’s analytical
considerations and the weak starting socioeconomic
conditions that these countries would face in adopting
a UBI policy. We conjecture that, given these initial
restrictions, the full implementation of a UBI program
in the region does not seem feasible at this time; and
that, given the profound impact and slow recovery they
face in front of the pandemic’s impact, a compromise
between a UBI and a less universal and unconditional
cash transfer could meet both the need to face the
economic emergency in the short term, as well as the
financial capacity to address it.

Da construção do estereótipo de selvagem à representação do indígena brasileiro no livro didático de História
Authors: Santos Roberta Fernandes
Published: December 2020

Este artigo aborda a maneira como se construiu o estereótipo de selvagem, fato responsável por negar aos indígenas seu direito à diferença e apagá-los como sujeitos de nossa história. Aborda também o revisionismo histórico das décadas de 1980 e 1990, destacando a Constituição de 1988 como responsável por recolocar o indígena na história, garantindo sua cidadania e reconhecendo seu direito à diversidade. Mais tarde, numa tentativa de superar estereótipos, foi aprovada a Lei nº 11.645/08, passando a ser obrigatório o ensino de história e cultura indígena nas escolas brasileiras. Nesse sentido, analisaremos uma coleção de livros didáticos para o Ensino Médio produzida em 2016, observando como é representada a cultura indígena nesses livros e verificando, em que medida, os antigos estereótipos estão sendo superados e dando lugar a um novo olhar sobre o indígena brasileiro.

We present an approach and a system to let tutors monitor several important aspects related to etests, such as learner behavior and test quality. The approach includes the logging of important data related to learner interaction with the system during the execution of e-tests and exploits scientific visualization to highlight information useful to let tutors review and improve the whole assessment process. We have focused on the discovery of behavioral patterns of learners and conceptual relationships among test items. Furthermore, we have led several experiments in our faculty in order to assess the whole approach. In particular, by analyzing the scientific visualization charts, we have detected several previously unknown test strategies used by the learners. Last, we have detected several correlations among questions, which gave us useful feedbacks on the test quality.
Mathematics in Internet Traffic Data Analysis

The Internet traffic data have been found to possess extreme variability and bursty structures in a wide range of time-scales, so that there is no definite duration of busy or silent periods. But there is a self-similarity for which it is possible to characterize the data. The self-similar nature was first proposed by Leland et a1 [l] and subsequently established by others in a flood of research works on the subject [2]-[5]. It was then a new concept against the long believed idea of Poisson traffic. The traditional Poison model, a short ranged process, assumed the variation of data flow to be finite but the observations on Internet traffic proved otherwise. It is this large variance that leads to the self-similar nature of the data almost at all scales of resolution. Such a feature is always associated with a fractal structure of the data. The fractal characteristics can exist both in temporal and spatial scales. This was indicated by Willinger and Paxson [6], as due to the extreme variability and long range dependence in the process. Presently, one of the main research interests in the field of Internet traffic is that of prediction of data which will help a network manager to render a satisfactory quality of service. Before preparing a model of prediction, one of the important tasks is to determine its statistics. Any model to predict the future values will have to preserve these characteristics.
Crowdfunding como alternativa financiera para combatir el cambio climático en la era de las nuevas tecnologías y el desarrollo sostenible
Authors: Aponte William Iván Gallo
Published: December 2020

La irrupción del crowdfunding o financiamiento colectivo a través de plataformas digitales y la realidad del combate contra el cambio climático son dos hechos sociales que merecen atención por el Derecho. Con todo, ambos tienen dificultad en dialogar, pues por un lado existe una velocidad de la irrupción tecnológica, por otro, la convencional edad y la tradición del Derecho, que deja al mismo detrás del advenimiento de las innovaciones. Es por eso por lo que el presente artículo analiza la realidad del combate contra el cambio climático y la situación del crowdfunding como método para financiarlo. Así a través de una metodología descriptiva, deductiva, comparativa y expositiva de la normatividad, este trabajo observa como el crowdfunding, siguiendo un entendimiento que supera la concepción financiera y económica rentable, sino que toma en cuenta aspectos sociales, éticos, culturales y ambientales, contribuye a la garantía de los derechos sociales y al desarrollo sostenible.
O potencial emancipatório da agroecologia em questão: Dos riscos de cooptação à construção da autonomia
Authors: Homem de Mello Reinach Mariana , Fabrin Guilherme Augusto
Published: December 2020

Assim como as preocupações ecológicas/ambientais de modo geral, a noção de agroecologia adquiriu ao longo de sua história uma forte ambivalência, sendo incorporada por agentes e instituições com os mais diversos interesses, muitas vezes antagônicos. Dessa forma, notamos que o termo “agroecologia” vem sendo utilizado com sentidos fundamentalmente distintos. O objetivo do presente artigo consiste em problematizar o caráter ambíguo da agroecologia e questionar seu suposto potencial emancipatório, buscando, de um lado, elucidar as origens histórico-geográficas de sua difusão e, de outro, enfatizar que as múltiplas escalas de análise, as relações de poder e a dinâmica da luta de classes são elementos fundamentais a serem considerados na análise da territorialização das práticas agroecológicas. Trazemos, assim, contribuições das ciências humanas e do pensamento crítico para ajudar a qualificar essa reflexão. Apresentamos o campo da Ecologia Política como uma forma promissora de compreender a questão ambiental de forma geral, bem como as disputas no interior da agroecologia em particular. Discutimos os discursos políticos sobre a agroecologia elaborados pela FAO e pela Via Campesina, com o intuito de apontar alguns dos principais marcos desse debate na atualidade. Por fim, considerando os riscos de cooptação dos movimentos agroecológicos atualmente, apontamos possíveis caminhos para qualificar a análise sobre o seu potencial emancipatório. Concluímos que as práticas agroecológicas devem estar associadas à construção da autonomia para servir efetivamente à alegada emancipação social e ao enfrentamento do atual sistema de produção agrário/agrícola capitalista.
SÃO GONÇALO DO AMARANTE: A IMAGEM, A REPRESENTAÇÃO, O SAGRADO
Authors: Eustáquio Arlene Rosa
Published: December 2020

A proposta deste artigo é refletir sobre a representação da imagem de São Gonçalo do Amarante na peça O prodígio de Amarante, de Antônio José da Silva, também conhecido como o Judeu. Para isso serão levados em conta, principalmente, os estudos de Carlo Ginzburg sobre o conceito de representação, presentes na obra Olhos de madeira: nove reflexões sobre a distância, mais precisamente no ensaio intitulado Representação: a palavra, a ideia, a coisa. Além disso, a fundamentação teórica deste estudo compreenderá os estudos de Karen Armstrong referentes às questões do mito e de Jerusalém, de Mircea Eliade sobre o sagrado e de Carl Gustav Jung e suas contribuições no que diz respeito aos arquétipos e ao inconsciente coletivo.
REGIMES DE SI: DITADURA E VIOLÊNCIA EM “NA TEIA DO SOL”
Authors: Lima Andressa Estrela
Published: December 2020

Este artigo apresenta uma reflexão sobre a literatura brasileira contemporânea que trata da ditadura militar no Brasil. Para tal, temos como objeto o livro Na Teia do Sol (2004) de Menalton Braff, que a partir de uma narrativa de ensimesmamento, negocia significados para o exercício da violência no passado e no presente, tanto a partir do narrador personagem, quanto do cenário político social brasileiro. A análise tem como fio condutor o que decidimos chamar de regimes de si do protagonista, que nos permite perceber e dialogar com outros temas dentro da obra, como a tortura e o trauma. O caminho que leva a personagem principal André a se converter em Tito é também o que nos guiou na leitura do romance, que cria, a partir de um sujeito ficcional complexo, toda uma trama do que não pode ser dita, ou elaborada, por meio de um discurso fragmentário e repleto de vaivéns, assim mesmo como um sujeito figurado que testemunha e representa esse terror.
O TEMPO DE EXU: NECROPOLÍTICA, HISTÓRIA E MEMÓRIA EM KINDRED
Authors: Ramos Sara Martins
Published: December 2020

O presente artigo propõe-se a investigar as implicações de tempo, história e memória exploradas em Kindred: Laços de Sangue, da escritora afroamericana Octavia Butler. Publicado originalmente em 1979, Kindred é narrado em primeira pessoa por Dana, uma escritora negra de 26 anos que é transportada para outro tempo e espaço (a plantação), repetidamente, sempre com o intuito inicial de salvar a vida de um antepassado branco. A relação entre o deslocamento temporal e a memória colonial serão entrelaçadas à cosmologia Nagô de tempo não linear, sobretudo pelo princípio de Exu que esfacela a noção de História enquanto progressão contínua, para pensar as estratégias narrativas utilizadas pela autora. Partindo da noção de necropolítica e da experiência do tempo, propõe-se igualmente refletir as imbricações entre trauma, corpo, memória e resistência.
NÃO ÉS TU, BRASIL: LITERATURA E HISTÓRIA NO TEMPO DA REPRESSÃO MILITAR
Authors: Oliveira Rafael Victor Rosa , Matias Felipe Dos Santos
Published: December 2020

O presente artigo estuda as interlocuções entre literatura e história no romance Não és tu, Brasil (1996), de Marcelo Rubens Paiva. Nesta obra, o escritor brasileiro, por meio de uma narrativa polifônica e multifacetada, expõe as dificuldades, violências e opressões sofridas por Carlos Lamarca e seus companheiros da Vanguarda Popular Revolucionária (VPR) na luta contra o regime militar da época. Ao produzir um texto literário que adota como tema e enredo um acontecimento histórico, Paiva promove um processo de releitura da história pela literatura, promovendo um diálogo interdisciplinar que possibilita uma ampla reflexão acerca de um dos momentos delicados do Brasil no século XX. O estudo é desenvolvido através da discussão teórico-crítica da obra adotada como corpus, procurando-se detectar os modos pelos quais ocorre na narrativa a construção das relações intertextuais entre os elementos históricos e ficcionais.
PROJEÇÕES APOCALÍPTICAS E ANTI-DISTOPIA NA OBRA DE TORQUATO NETO (1968-1972)
Authors: De Paiva Faria Luis Gustavo , Alves Mourão Victor Luiz
Published: December 2020

O objetivo do trabalho é analisar a produção literária e jornalística de Torquato Neto entre 1968 e 1972, enfocando um corpus crítico de poemas e canções e a coluna Geléia Geral (1971-1972). Sustenta-se que a produção do autor expõe figurações históricas e poéticas que oscilam por meio de caracterizações utópicas, distópicas, heterotópicas e anti-distópicas, particularmente marcadas pela presença repetida do vocábulo “fim”, alternando em um espectro que vai da projeção de realidades fabulosas (utopia) à luta pela criação de espaços de resistência e contestação (anti-distopia). Considerando a mediação de seu contexto histórico, coloca-se a hipótese de que as produções artísticas deste período não podem ser entendidas de maneira homogênea, precipitando-se como exclusivamente utópicas (escapistas) ou distópicas (fatalistas), mas consideradas em sua pluralidade, sobretudo em seus esforços anti-distópicos, ou seja, práticas que procuram forjar espaços de liberdade em meio à repressão da ditadura militar brasileira.
PRESO POLÍTICO NO SÉCULO XXI: UMA ANÁLISE DA NARRATIVA TESTEMUNHAL DE IGOR MENDES EM A PEQUENA PRISÃO
Authors: Pimentel Guilherme Henrique Ferreira
Published: December 2020

Vivemos num Estado que, apesar de democrático, sinaliza características de um Estado de exceção. Assim, utiliza as diretrizes do fazer democrático para que a marginalização de minorias se torne uma regra. Este artigo propõe discutir, dentro do contexto da literatura de testemunho e de cárcere, o livro A pequena prisão (2017), escrito por Igor Mendes. No dia 3 de dezembro de 2014, o até então graduando em geografia pela UERJ e ativista político Igor Mendes, foi preso por participar de manifestações durante a Copa do Mundo de 2014.  Durante os quase sete meses que ficou preso no Complexo Penitenciário de Gericinó, no Rio de Janeiro, Igor vivenciou experiências que não poderiam ser silenciadas, encontrando na literatura uma maneira de não apenas rememorar os traumas, mas de denunciar as contradições do Poder Judiciário, das instituições penais e desvelar um mundo invisível: os porões da sociedade que são os presídios brasileiros.
