Authors: Rodríguez Espinosa Holmes , Ramírez Gómez Carlos Julián , Restrepo Betancur Luis Fernando
Published: November 2023

El enfoque participativo en la formulación de iniciativas para el desarrollo agropecuario y rural, se considera como un elemento esencial para responder de manera más efectiva a las necesidades de un territorio, logrando involucrar a las partes interesadas. En ese sentido se presenta una propuesta metodológica para la formulación de programas agropecuarios locales, basada en el análisis estructural prospectivo y el análisis factorial, construida a partir de una experiencia de investigación en el municipio de Bello (Antioquia, Colombia). El eje central de la propuesta, es el concepto de participación visto como la consecución y análisis de información con las comunidades, la actividad reflexiva, la acción colectiva para la toma de decisiones y el fortalecimiento del capital social por medio del mejoramiento de la confianza entre actores, para el seguimiento y evaluación de los procesos. Como resultado de la metodología propuesta se identificaron las limitantes para el desarrollo del sector agropecuario, que sirvieron como base para la formulación del programa local, así mismo se logró un avance en el fortalecimiento del capital social, a través del Consejo Municipal de Desarrollo Rural (CMDR) como instancia legal y representativa de los actores locales.

Published: November 2023

En Colombia el cultivo de plátano ocupa uno de los principales renglones de la economía; hace parte de la canasta familiar y es una fuente de empleo en las zonas donde se cultiva. La producción de este frutal se ve amenazada por el ataque de nematodos fitoparásitos que afectan el sistema radical, disminuyen la absorción de nutrientes y sirven como puerta de entrada a patógenos. Debido a esto, se requieren manejos que permitan la regulación de las poblaciones mediante estrategias que no atenten contra el equilibrio del ecosistema y que presenten una ventaja competitiva frente a los tratamientos tradicionales. En este estudio se evaluó la respuesta poblacional de fitonematodos del plátano Dominico Hartón, la presencia de hongos micorrícicoarbusculares (HMA) y la actividad de lombrices a la inoculación con HMA, lixiviado de compost de raquis de plátano y lombricompost. Los resultados obtenidos en la investigación sugieren que la respuesta de la población de fitonematodos a los tratamientos evaluados, mostró gran dependencia de las características parasíticas de cada género y que la aplicación de lombricompost, HMA y lixiviado de raquis de plátano pueden tener potencial en la regulación de las poblaciones de fitonematodos en el cultivo.
Desafíos de la justicia ambiental y el acceso a la justicia ambiental en el desplazamiento ambiental por efectos asociados al cambio climático
Authors: Valencia Hernández Javier Gonzaga , Aguirre Fajardo Alejandra María , Ríos Sarmiento Melissa
Published: November 2023

En las últimas décadas el cambio climático ha traído grandes retos frente a los escenarios bajo los cuales se presenta, las consecuencias y víctimas que deja y la respuesta por parte de los Estados y de la Comunidad Internacional, para intentar prevenir o mitigar el daño causado por estos fenómenos. En el presente artículo producto del macroproyecto de investigación que se está ejecutando conjuntamente con las universidades pertenecientes a la Red de Grupos y Centros de Investigación Jurídica y Sociojurídica, Nodo Eje Cafetero, titulado: “Desplazamiento ambiental de la población asentada en la Eco- Región Eje Cafetero: Incidencia de factores asociados por efectos del Cambio Climático”, pretende exponer la emergencia y significado de conceptos relativamente nuevos en el conocimiento social y jurídico, como lo son el desplazado por causas ambientales y su relación con la justicia ambiental y climática, para luego proporcionar algunas orientaciones generales sobre la relación-interacción de estos términos, que se ven reflejados directamente en el tema de acceso a la justicia, tanto por parte de los afectados, como de los medios que poseen para alcanzarla, y de los nuevos desafíos que debe atender el derecho ambiental para desarrollar diagnósticos en esa línea y proponer el debate académico en torno a otras disciplinas.

Authors: Nieto Gómez Libia Esperanza , Giraldo Díaz Reinaldo
Published: November 2023

The role of biotechnology in the future of humanity is seen as essential and leading to address those who makes the most important challenges of economies and societies of the world in the coming decades: provision of food, water, energy, health and other resources and services for a growing population. This research article addresses from a critical stance trends in biotechnology in Colombia. It was found that the bet of the Colombian State for innovation, research and biotechnology is not at the forefront of global trends and is subject to a precarious insertion in the world market, leaving outside dimensions cultural, social and environmental. It is concluded that the State must reorient its biotechnological betting toward the construction of a sustainable society environmentally and culturally.
Valoración y análisis de indicadores de sostenibilidad en seis unidades de producción agropecuaria de la cuenca media del río Chinchiná
Authors: Calderón Cuartas Paola Andrea , Flórez Yepes Gloria Yaneth
Published: November 2023

En la cuenca media del río Chinchiná se seleccionaron seis unidades de producción agropecuaria con aplicación de estrategias de producción más limpia, con el fin de conocer el nivel de sostenibilidad para cada una, adaptando la metodología de indicadores de sostenibilidad propuesta por ASPROINCA (Arango, 2003). Las variables medidas fueron: seguridad alimentaria, mercado, dependencia de insumos externos, mano de obra, conservación de agua, de suelo y de bosque, nivel de complejidad del sistema, nivel de reciclaje, nivel de integración de subsistemas, compromiso familiar, formas organizativas de trabajo y valores ambientales. El gráfico tipo redegrama generado por el ejercicio de valoración y análisis de dichos indicadores, le permite al propietario del predio reconocer las debilidades y fortalezas de su unidad productiva respecto a temas económicos, ecológicos y socioculturales, identificando puntos críticos para la priorización de actividades de sostenibilidad. Los resultados demuestran que cada unidad productiva tiene aspectos particulares respecto al uso de recursos. Los aspectos que afectan actualmente la sostenibilidad de los predios estudiados fueron la alta dependencia de insumos externos y la baja competitividad en los mercados. Los valores ambientales y la conservación de recursos naturales, agua, suelo y bosque, son factores positivos característicos de las unidades productivas que participaron en el proyecto.

Trastornos de la conducta alimentaria en la adolescencia: una metáfora interrelacional de la familia
Authors: Ospina Botero Mireya , Bolaños Muñoz Carmenza Liliana , Salazar Hoyos Diana Marcela
Published: November 2023

Objetivo. Dar a conocer las perspectivas del enfoque sistémico a la hora de comprender el trastorno de la conducta alimentaria, abriendo el panorama de comprensión de esta condición no como un asunto perteneciente solo al individuo sino como algo que da cuenta del entramado de las interacciones del sistema familiar. Metodología. El presente trabajo está orientado desde el modelo sistémico, el cual aparece como una alternativa a los modelos tradicionales, haciendo énfasis según las etapas del ciclo evolutivo familiar en la etapa de la adolescencia como ciclo vital. Resultados y conclusiones. Al hacer un contraste entre las distintas perspectivas desde las cuales se ha considerado este trastorno se comienza a considerar al contexto familiar como una dimensión importante que hace parte e influye en su consolidación para comprenderlo como una disfunción familiar producto de las características de su organización y funcionamiento: alteración de jerarquías, dificultades en la comunicación, en los roles y en los sistemas de creencias que generan dificultad para resolver conflictos familiares y que limitan al adolescente en su proceso de emancipación y autonomía.

Libro: Familia y felicidad, una gran travesía
Authors: Hernández Prados María Ángeles
Published: November 2023

No cabe duda de que el título y la ilustración de cualquier obra es un elemento relevante en el que debemos depositar nuestra atención. En el caso que nos ocupa en estos momentos, “Familia y felicidad. Una gran travesia”, evidencia la importancia de la felicidad en la familia, no como un producto heredado, ni adquirido por el hecho de unirse en pareja y tener descendencia, sino como una meta a perseguir por todos aquellos que componen la unidad familiar. Este matiz lo introduce el subtítulo, al especificar que se trata de un viaje a realizar, pero no cualquier viaje, sino una gran travesía, señalando la complejidad y dificultad del mismo. En coherencia con lo expuesto, la ilustración representa un barco navegando con personas, que a nuestro entender deben reflejar una familia. Curiosamente, la mujer está delante junto al hombre que maneja el timón del barco, mientras la niña está sentada admirando el paisaje, el niño está tratando de mantener el rumbo con la vela, reproduciendo de este modo un reparto de roles tradicional, poco propulsor de la igualdad en la unidad familiar

A Comparison between Kalman Filtering Approaches in Aircraft Flight Signal Estimation
Authors: Korsun O. N. , Goro Sekou , Om Moung Htang
Published: November 2023

At present, the requirements for the accuracy of aircraft on-board measurement systems are constantly increasing, while sensors contain various errors in signal measurement, primarily random. Noisy signals from onboard measurements can be smoothed or filtered out in a variety of ways. One of the most popular approaches is Kalman filtering, the effectiveness of which has been proven by many studies. This paper presents a comparative analysis of the extended Kalman filter (EKF) and unscented Kalman filter (UKF), used to estimate the pitch angle of an aircraft using bench modeling data. During the simulation, the normal measurement noises are also generated. According to the results obtained in this paper, it can be noted that UKF performs better when a priori knowledge about the process noise is certain. However, the efficiency of UKF in estimating the signal deteriorates when a priori knowledge about the process becomes uncertain while the performance of EKF remains stable. This is due to the fact that UKF uses more sophisticated assumptions and therefore is more sensitive to these assumptions violation. The obtained results also show that various variants of Kalman filtering remain relevant in comparison with the smoothing methods that have spread in recent years, based on the ideas of optimal control and evolutionary algorithms for numerical optimization.
A Study of Operation Status of the Last-mile Delivery Center in A Apartment House, Busan
Authors:   The Korean Logistics Research Association, Park Jin-Hee
Published: November 2023

The logistics environment has experienced rapid growth and diversification, and the areas of city logistics and life logistics have grown significantly compared to the past. After COVID-19, the volume of online purchases and courier deliveries has increased significantly due to the continuation of the non-face-to-face environment and digitalization. In addition, as the importance of safety and security in the place where I live is increasing, small and large conflicts in last-mile delivery are becoming a social issue, and one of the ways to resolve them is the LDC (Last-mile Delivery Center). Compared to its importance, the actual status of existing operating facilities is insufficient, so it can be said that it is of primary importance to examine the operation status and identify problems focusing on specific centers that are actually in operation. It is expected that it can be greatly utilized as basic data for step-by-step application of smart substantiation projects that are considered through convergence with the 4th Industrial Revolution technology. The case area, Busan A apartment house, is an apartment complex with approximately 1,150 households and 9 buildings, completed in 2007. It is an area with more than 10,000 apartment complexes and officetels nearby. Above all, it has been in operation for 8 years from 2015 to 2023. It can be said that the fact that this is the area where the above center is operated is consistent with this study. As a result of the analysis of the operation status, it was figured out that the LDC operation in the case area has developed to a stable level. However, only three of the initial large number of delivery companies are currently participating, so there is a limit to creating additional logistics demand, and most of the work is done by hand. These areas were identified as major limitations. LDC not only improves the efficiency of life logistics-scale delivery and enhances the safety of the complex, but also has the advantage of reducing unnecessary vehicles in the city and thereby reducing adverse environmental impacts. Related policies are also being promoted at the public level. This is being actively explored. The results of this study are expected to be a great reference in promoting related policies, so they can be said to have a different significance from existing studies that only argued for facility expansion.
Kinematic Rupture Model of the 6 February 2023 Mw 7.8 Türkiye Earthquake from a Large Set of Near-Source Strong-Motion Records Combined with GNSS Offsets Reveals Intermittent Supershear Rupture
Authors: Delouis Bertrand , van den Ende Martijn , Ampuero Jean-Paul
Published: November 2023

The 2023 Mw 7.8 southeast Türkiye earthquake was recorded by an unprecedentedly large set of strong-motion stations very close to its rupture, opening the opportunity to observe the rupture process of a large earthquake with fine resolution. Here, the kinematics of the earthquake source are inferred by finite-source inversion based on strong-motion records and coseismic offsets from permanent Global Navigation Satellite Systems stations. The strong-motion records at stations NAR and 4615, which are the closest to the splay fault (SPF) where the rupture initiated and which were previously interpreted to contain the signature of supershear rupture speeds, are successfully modeled here by a subshear rupture propagating unilaterally to the northeast. Once the rupture on the SPF reaches the east Anatolian fault (EAF), it propagates on the EAF bilaterally, extending about 120 km northeast and 180 km southwest. To the south, the depth extent of the rupture decreases, as it passes a bend of the EAF. Although the rupture velocity remains globally subshear along the EAF, we identify three portions of the fault where the rupture is transiently supershear. The transitions to supershear speed coincide with regions of reduced fault slip, which suggests supershear bursts generated by the failure of local rupture barriers. Toward the southwest termination, the rupture encircles an asperity before its failure, which is a feature that has been observed only on rare occasions. This unprecedented detail of the inversion was facilitated by the proximity to the fault and the exceptional density of the accelerometric network in the area.
Relocation of the Seismicity of the Caucasus Region

Published: November 2023

Our objective is to improve the view of the seismicity in the Caucasus region using instrumental data between 1951 and 2019. To create a comprehensive catalog, we combine the bulletins of local agencies and the International Seismological Centre, and use an advanced single-event location algorithm, iLoc, to obtain better locations. We show that relocations with iLoc, using travel-time predictions from the 3D upper mantle velocity model, Regional Seismic Travel Time, improve the locations. Then, using the iLoc results as initial locations and the ground-truth events identified in the iLoc results as fix points, we apply Bayesloc, a multiple-event location algorithm, to simultaneously relocate the entire seismicity of the Caucasus region. We demonstrate that the simultaneous relocation of the seismicity with Bayesloc clarifies the location and geometry of major active structures accommodating ongoing convergence between the Arabian and Eurasian continents between the Black and Caspian Seas. Among our major findings is the confirmation of widespread seismicity in the mantle beneath the northern flank of the Greater Caucasus and central Caspian, resulting from north-dipping subduction of the Kura and South Caspian basins and the identification of a discrete band of crustal seismicity beneath the southern flank of the Greater Caucasus.
Structural Heterogeneity Controlled Rupture Process of the 2021 Mw 7.1 Fukushima, Japan, Earthquake Revealed by Joint Inversion of Seismic and Geodetic Data
Authors: Tan Yuyang , Gu Ning , Xing Huilin , Zhang Yong , Jin Zongwei , Hua Sibo , Wang Jianchao , Qin Mutian , Pang Shuo , Li Sanzhong
Published: November 2023

We determined the rupture model of the 2021 Mw 7.1 Fukushima earthquake near northeastern Japan in this study and adopted this model to investigate the cause of this earthquake and its aftershocks. The rupture model was obtained through joint inversion of teleseismic, strong-motion and geodetic data. It is shown that the slips were predominantly distributed on the southwest side of the earthquake epicenter, indicating a unilateral rupture event. We observed that the seismic moment was released in three time periods, producing four slip patches on the fault plane. Through comparison, we demonstrated that our joint inversion model was more reliable in describing the rupture process of the Fukushima earthquake than the automatic inversion models determined using only strong-motion data. By jointly analyzing the slip distribution and seismic velocity structure, we found a good correlation between the slip patches and VP/VS anomalies, suggesting that structural heterogeneities along the fault zone played a critical role in controlling the rupture process of the Fukushima earthquake. In addition, most aftershocks were located in the region characterized by small slips and high VP/VS, and we demonstrated that they were caused by stress changes due to the presence of fluids and the rupture of the mainshock.
Is Melody “Dead?”: A Large-scale Analysis of Pop Music Melodies from 1960 through 2019
Authors: Clark Beach , Arthur Claire
Published: November 2023

In this paper we theorize that there are specific musical features that contribute to a melody’s character which we define as melodiousness and conduct a large-scale corpus analysis to examine whether there are differences in the melodiousness of popular hit songs from the 1960s compared with present-day pop songs.  To carry out the corpus analysis, we use a new approach for generating symbolic data for popular music melodies to overcome the lack of preexisting symbolic data.  In addition, we attempt to answer the question of whether any key characteristics of melodiousness appear to have changed or shifted in notable ways over time.
Presenting the SWTC: A Symbolic Corpus of Themes from John Williams’ Star Wars Episodes I-IX
Authors: Arthur Claire , Lehman Frank , McNamara John
Published: November 2023

This paper presents a new symbolic corpus of musical themes from the complete Star Wars trilogies (Episodes I-IX) by John Williams. The corpus files are made available in multiple formats (.krn, .sib., and .musicxml) and include melodic, harmonic, and formal information. The Star Wars Thematic Corpus (SWTC) contains a total of 64 distinctive, recurring, and symbolically meaningful themes and motifs, commonly referred to as leitmotifs. Through this corpus we also introduce a new humdrum standard for non-functional harmony encodings, **harte (Harte et al., 2005; Harte, 2010). This report details the motivation, describes the transcription and encoding processes, and provides some brief summary statistics. While relatively small in scale, the SWTC represents a unified collection from one of the most prolific and influential composers of the 20th and 21st centuries, and the under-studied subset of film and multimedia musical material in general. We hope the SWTC will provide insights into John Williams’ compositional style, as well as prove useful in comparisons against other thematic corpora from film and beyond.
Openness to World Music Predicts Adaptation to a New Culture among Student Sojourners
Authors: Quan Yixue , Olsen Kirk N. , Ma Weiyi , Thompson William Forde
Published: November 2023

Student sojourners temporarily live in a foreign country to pursue higher education. Research has shown that student sojourners’ openness to new experience and cultural values predict their adaptation to the host culture. However, it is unclear whether music – a major medium of cultural communication – also plays a role in adaptation to a host culture. This study examined whether student sojourners’ world music open-earedness (a willingness to explore, listen to, tolerate, and learn about music from diverse cultures) and functions of music in intercultural settings (the psychosocial reasons people engage with music) predict psychological and sociocultural adaptation. Seventy-six student sojourners in Australia reported their musical inclinations and adaptation to Australian society. World music open-earedness was significantly correlated with psychological and sociocultural adaptation. However, multiple regression modelling revealed that after statistically controlling for personal characteristics (e.g., age, musical training), personality traits (e.g., openness), and acculturation strategies, psychological adaptation was predicted by the music functions ‘arousal and activation’ and ‘self-reflection’, whereas sociocultural adaptation was predicted by world music open-earedness and the music function ‘arousal and activation’. Mechanisms that account for these associations and implications for identifying at-risk international students are discussed.
Mysterium Corpus: The Solo Piano Music of Alexander Scriabin
Authors: Bell Bryan Jacob , Albrecht Joshua
Published: November 2023

This article introduces the Mysterium corpus, the complete published oeuvre of Alexander Scriabin’s 207 solo piano works, and makes the corpus available in Humdrum’s kern format. Scriabin’s music presents distinct challenges, specifically in relation to his use of complex rhythmic and metric explorations and the idiosyncratic ways in which he notated his compositional ideas. While this sidetdataset is focused on Scriabin, the methodological challenges explored in the article may shed light on the encoding process for other related late-tonal and early post-tonal repertoires. As such, this article provides a case study of methodological considerations involved in systematically translating messy musical notations into a symbolic encoding of the musical data. Finally, this article provides descriptive statistics of the corpus, especially focusing on Scriabin’s treatment of meter and two harmonies (i.e., the dominant-seventh chord with lowered fifth, and the “Mystic” chord), and discusses the applicability of the Mysterium corpus for future research.
Commentary on Lee & Zaryab

Published: November 2023

The study by Lee & Zaryab (this issue) investigated whether listening to high-groove music affects how heterosexual observers rate the attractiveness of people from the opposite sex. They found a very small positive effect of high-groove music on the male observers, but no effect on females. In my commentary, I argue for a more conservative interpretation of the results than the one offered by the authors.
The Effects of Heating Temperatures on Passion Fruit Juice's Ascorbic Acid and Total Phenol Levels
Authors: Siswandi Alodia Jeconiah , Prismawan Deka , Kambira Pretty Falena Atmanda
Published: November 2023

The Passiflora edulis f. flavicarpa, a yellow passion fruit, is known for its distinctive aroma and tart flavor. The pulp of the yellow passion fruit can be used to make tea, jam, and syrup commercially. Commercial items are processed using oven heating, which involves prolonged exposure to high temperatures. As a result, fruit content, particularly water content, may alter. The benefit of reducing the water content is that less microbial growth medium means the product has a longer shelf life. However, fruit flesh’s nutritional composition will also change due to the ascorbic acid and phenolic compounds' thermolability and other factors. In this study, the yellow passion fruit pulp juice is heated in a controlled manner at 60°C, 70°C, and 80°C for 7 hours using an oven. The purpose is to assess changes in the amounts of ascorbic acid and total phenol that occurred. A paired T-test was used to assess the association between weight loss, ascorbic acid levels, and phenolic levels in the control and treatment groups. The amount of ascorbic acid was determined using the 2.6 dichloroindophenol titrimetry method, and the amount of phenol was determined using the Folin-Cioceltau method and UV-Vis spectrophotometry. According to this study, increasing the temperature to 60 °C or 80 °C significantly reduces weight and ascorbic acid levels. Also, the heating temperature unaffected the amount of phenol in each group.
Fabrication of obturators for veau’s class III cleft lip and palate patients - A case series
Authors: Dutta Sharbari , Dutta Brahmananda , Bagchi Anandamoy
Published: November 2023

A fissured palate is a genetic condition where there is a gap or opening in the roof of the mouth (palate). This opening occurs due to the inability of the palatal shelves, which are responsible for forming the palate, to properly fuse during fetal development. This results in oronasal communication, or an opening between the palate and the base of the nose. Cleft palates can result from a combination of genetic factors, chromosomal disorders, heredity, and environmental factors. Possible environmental causes include nutritional deficiencies, maternal alcohol or cigarette consumption, exposure to radiation during pregnancy, hormonal imbalances, the ingestion of teratogenic substances by the mother, and infections. Newborns with cleft palates face difficulties in feeding and swallowing due to the gap in the palate. This can lead to problems such as stunted growth and being underweight. As these children grow, they can experience additional challenges including difficulties in speech, dental problems, altered facial appearance, and psychological issues. One immediate solution for infants with cleft palate is the fabrication of a feeding plate, often called an obturator. This device helps close the oronasal opening, enabling improved feeding, and reducing the risk of infections and regurgitation. This intervention can also aid in achieving proper weight gain, which is essential for future reconstructive surgery to repair the cleft palate. This paper presents a case series of infants with cleft palate who received feeding plates. The feeding plates were created using putty impressions to customize them for each patient's needs. This approach aimed to help the infants feed effectively, maintain their weight, and prepare for future reconstructive surgery to address the cleft palate.

Objectives: The study conducted in Jordan aimed to evaluate the impact of distance learning on French students in Jordanian universities. The views of both teachers and students were gathered through questionnaires that addressed various topics related to distance learning. Methods: Questionnaires were distributed to 160 first- and second-year French students and their teachers. The topics covered in the questionnaires included the pedagogical materials offered in French, university grades, the effectiveness of distance learning, and preparation for this mode of education. Results: The results showed that the transition to distance learning significantly impacted French students in Jordan. Students reported difficulties with the pedagogical materials offered in French and a decrease in their university grades. However, they also appreciated the flexibility offered by distance learning. Teachers also acknowledged the difficulties, particularly in terms of contact and interaction with students. Conclusions: The study highlights the importance of improving the pedagogical materials offered in French to students and encouraging increased online interaction between teachers and students. Universities should better prepare teachers and students for distance learning to meet the needs and aspirations of students. The results of this study could be used to improve distance learning and help students better adapt to this method of learning.
Oikonyms of the Czech Lands of the Kingdom of Bohemia in documents from the first half of the 14th century
Authors: Schejbalova Zdenka
Published: November 2023

In the article we study the Czech oikonyms Praha, Pohořelice, Křivoklát, Kutná Hora and Hranice na Moravě which appeared in documents written under John of Luxembourg, King of Bohemia, King of Poland and Count of Luxembourg, during his reign from 1310 to 1346. The documents studied are written in French and Latin. The oikonyms are spelled in different ways, which proves that the documents were established by several scribes or copyists. They remain valuable for knowledge of the history and development of the Kingdom of Bohemia and the evolution of French in its phase of transformation in the 1st half of the 14th century.
Поколение: модель и ее динамика (на материале русской классической литературы)
Authors: Olaszek Barbara
Published: November 2023

В статье на материале русской литературы XIX – начала XX веков рассмотрено становление модели поколения и ее динамика. На основании анализов сделаны следующие выводы: в изображении русских писателей модель поколения образовалась не столько на возрастной основе, сколько на почве общности исторического и культурного опыта. Модель поколения трансформировалась под влиянием важных исторических событий, интересов (искусство/наука), модных идеологий. Наиболее выразительный облик у поколений сороковых и шестидесятых годов – литературных отцов и детей. Отношение к этим двум традициям и тенденция освободиться от них стали основой идентификации очередных поколений: 1880-х, 1890-х и начала XX века. Внешним проявлением поколенческих отличий стал стиль жизни.

Iniciativas privadas em nome da arte brasileira
Authors: Novelli Duro Fabriccio Miguel
Published: November 2023

Na série de exposições gerais realizadas pela Academia Imperial de Belas Artes no Rio de Janeiro, a Exposição Geral de 1884 se destaca, entre outros motivos, pela quantidade de obras adquiridas ao final da mostra para a coleção da instituição. Hoje, essas obras são conservadas no Museu Nacional de Belas Artes, no Rio de Janeiro. Parte dos recursos utilizados para as aquisições resultava da iniciativa de outros agentes do meio artístico local, como a petição elaborada pelo artista Francisco Aurélio de Figueiredo e Mello para instituir a cobrança de ingressos e a edição de um catálogo ilustrado, organizado por Laurent de Wilde e doado para a Academia. Pretende-se discutir o impacto de tais iniciativas na ampliação da coleção da Academia e os critérios de aquisição da instituição.
